Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

On December 12st, deep in the Rocky Mountains, half a month had passed since MAT Magic Technology Company went public on Wall Street.

Time flies and winter comes quietly. Several heavy snowfalls make the entire mountain range even quieter, thousands of kilometers away from New York.

The race against time and exciting financial wars in the trading halls of Wall Street seem to have nothing to do with here.

Deep in the mountains, two young men walked with light steps through the snow-covered forest.

Their eyes were firm and focused, their hands tightly grasped bows and arrows, and they had only one target in mind - the fat white-tailed deer.

"Point Me! Point Me!"

Cedric took out his wand, tapped it lightly on the white snow, and as he chanted a spell, a thin red thread appeared on the snow.

Looking at the direction indicated by the red line, Carl behind him said helplessly.

"If you weren't so soft-hearted, there would be no need for us to stay outside for another hour in such cold weather."

"Remember who you are now. You are a hunter. If you can't do it, go back and chop your wood."

"I understand." Cedric lowered his head in shame. Today he specifically begged Carl to take him out hunting.

The reason is simple. Ever since the company went public, Kevin Lestrange has been alone, locking himself in that little house.

I spend the whole day typing away on my computer keyboard, and from time to time I dial a number on my satellite phone.

Sometimes they talked in a friendly and amiable manner, sometimes they cursed hysterically, and more often they were like Professor Snape, inexplicably sarcastic.

He once thought that the other party was going crazy. After all, no normal person would skip dinner for work.

What’s even more terrifying is that due to the other party’s abnormal mental state, coupled with Carl’s partiality and tolerance towards him.

In that cabin, my status had fallen to a terrible level, except for cleaning and chopping wood.

There was almost no work for me to do, and Carl didn't want to talk to me, as for that guy.

Thinking of this, Cedric couldn't help but shudder. It would be better for him not to get into trouble with that guy.

"Let's go. Mr. Lestrange's lunch time is less than half an hour away. If we can't finish the hunting work, we will be in trouble."

"You will take his lunch in today."

Carl urged the dazed Cedric and walked out first. Walking in the deep snow was a slow and painful thing.

It is also easy for people to fall into memories. He really can't understand the guy behind him.

What on earth are you thinking about with that big head? It's obvious that you know nothing about the financial industry and you don't know how to handle relationships with strangers.

But he insisted on joining in the fun, and suffered a loss of nearly 2 million US dollars in one week, which directly caused Kevin Lestrange, who had been working intensively for a week, to suffer.

He cursed at him and was so angry that he didn't even eat dinner that night. He also hung a sign on the door of his office.

"Cedric the fool is off limits."

After seeing those words, this guy came to me and cried to me before going to bed at night.

He said that he and the other party were in partnership and that he was completely biased and unfair, and denied his work ability and bullied him in the workplace.

The only work assigned to him was unskilled work like chopping wood, and they didn't want him to get involved in any other matters.

When he thought of this, Carl couldn't help but hold his forehead and shake his head. At the same time, his mind began to recall the disaster-stricken cabin that had happened to him over the past month.

There is no need to say much about what happened when the fire happened while cooking. What’s even more infuriating is that this guy actually forgot to turn off the gas stove after cooking.

If I hadn't come back early from hunting that night, this guy might have died in the room from gas poisoning.

And at the moment when I used the magic potion to bring this guy back to life, his first reaction was to light a lamp because it was dark.

The entire cabin almost turned into a rocket and flew into the sky.

Thinking of these bad things, Carl couldn't help but have a headache, and began to regret whether it was a wrong decision to open the door of the train compartment and let this guy in.

"Karl, come over here and take a look!!"

Just as Karl was reminiscing, Cedric’s excited voice suddenly came from behind him, and he quickly turned around and ran over.

“Did you find that white-tailed deer?”

"No, look." Cedric's face was full of excitement. In front of him was the snow that he had dug up with his hands. On the open space, there was an extremely gorgeous blue flower, swaying in the cold wind.

The flower was very strange, its petals were a deep blue, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

The petals are covered with delicate silver patterns, which shimmer softly in the moonlight, like stars dancing in the dark.

The center of the flower emits a faint blue light, like a solidified flame, mysterious and charming.

"What is this?" Carl looked at the flower in surprise, his face full of confusion.

"This is called Qiluo Blue Flame!" Cedric said proudly, "It grows on the top of a distant snow-covered mountain.

"It is a very strange magical plant. According to ancient legends, anyone who picks it will have the opportunity to make a wish."

"What!!" Carl looked at Cedric in disbelief, his body trembling slightly.

"What you said is true."

"That's how it was recorded, but it's a pity it's false." Cedric nodded slightly at first, then kept shaking his head.

"That's just a beautiful legend. This is a very strange magical plant. If it is made into a potion, it can only make people slightly more energetic."

"It has a similar effect to that bitter black decoction you gave me before, but it's really beautiful, isn't it?"

"What's the use of that? It looks good but is useless." Carl was suddenly a little angry and wanted to pull Cedric up from the snow.

But the other party waved him away, and the guy carefully covered the snow again until the surroundings were restored to their original state.

Then he slowly stood up and looked at Karl with a silly smile on his face.

"What are you laughing at? If it is true as you said, even if this flower does not have such magical effects, it is still a very precious magical plant."

"Why don't you take it off? It's a small fortune."

Carl asked doubtfully, but Cedric answered with a silly smile on his face.

"It belongs here, doesn't it? Although the Qiluo Blue Flame doesn't have the magical power as the legend says, it has another name called the Flower of Luck."

"Because it will only grow in places where there are large numbers of magical animals, because only these magical animals gather there."

"There is sufficient magic power around, which shows that this mountain has indeed become a paradise for magical animals as you said."

"It was opened because of your success. You didn't deceive Hagrid. You fulfilled your promise, Carl."

"You are a good person with a kind heart."
