Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

"what!!!!!"

A scream almost blew off the roof of the auditorium, and at the same time, a stern scolding came from behind everyone.

"What are you all doing here? Don't you all need lunch? Especially you two, Fred and George."

"What tricks are you playing again?"

As soon as Carl gave the answer, Professor McGonagall came towards them aggressively.

There was no way, she just stepped into the door of the auditorium.

I saw George screaming wildly and a large group of students gathered together, and I immediately subconsciously thought.

I don’t know what tricks these two naughty ghosts are playing.

Seeing Professor McGonagall's menacing look, all the students were immediately frightened and stood still.

At this moment, Carl stood up slowly and walked towards Professor McGonagall, with an attitude of "no one else can do it better than him", which moved all the classmates.

The two of them greeted each other briefly and started communicating immediately.

From a distance, the students couldn't hear clearly what Carl and Professor McGonagall were saying, but they could tell that the two seemed to be very happy communicating.

Professor McGonagall kept nodding, with an expression of approval on her face.

This scene became the last straw that broke the Weasley brothers' inner defenses.

After seeing this scene, the two brothers were 100% sure that Carl was not lying and that it was really Professor McGonagall who told him.

All of a sudden, it was impossible for the two men to seek revenge, and the 75 gold Galleons were completely wasted.

Fred and George collapsed into each other's arms, and the onlookers expressed sympathy for them.

At this moment, Cedric walked over with a very complicated expression, holding the parchment contract.

He squatted down, looked at the two brothers lying on the ground, pointed at the words on the contract and said.

"I told you not to be so impulsive. Take a good look at what is written on the contract. Look here. There is an additional clause."

"It says that if you two can prove that the answer Carl just gave is the true truth."

"In return, he will take 50% of the wages you will receive for your future work as a reward."

The devil, this is simply the devil, no, that’s not right, even if Satan comes, he will tattoo Carl on his back.

This contract not only made all the efforts of the two brothers for the entire morning go to waste.

In the future, heavy shackles were put on the two men, and the two brothers supported each other and tried to stand up from the ground.

But his legs were still too weak, so he finally turned to other Gryffindor students because they were in the same house.

Help the two brothers up from the ground.

Just as the two of them sat down in their seats, Carl ended his conversation with Professor McGonagall.

He walked over with a smile on his face, and the crowd immediately split into two lines, their eyes filled with admiration and fear.

As soon as he arrived in the crowd, Ka immediately looked at the Weasley brothers and the Gryffindor students behind them.

said with a smile.

"Professor McGonagall asked you to return to your own college's dining table immediately. As for the two of you, do you want to verify it?"

"Professor McGonagall hasn't left yet, so you can go and ask her about the truth of the answer I just gave."

To kill someone, one must also destroy his heart. At this moment, the Weasley brothers no longer have the courage to go to Professor McGonagall to verify the matter.

Just feeling the cold gaze coming from Professor McGonagall in the professor's chair made their legs tremble.

The other Gryffindor students were also eager to leave as soon as possible.

So George took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"No, thank you, Mr. Hohenzollern, for your honesty."

Fred also said weakly.

"Yes, thank you for the answer, it's really worth the money."

After these two parties expressed their opinions, there was no reason for others to stay and they quickly dispersed.

Ka also slowly sat back in his seat, but he didn't expect that as soon as he sat down.

Hannah, who was standing by, looked at him a little unhappy.

"How could Professor McGonagall help you lie? Why did you do this? This is very bad behavior."

Faced with the criticism from this innocent girl, Carl felt that his heart was seriously hurt.

He immediately pretended to be wronged, took out the signed contract from the ring and handed it to the girl.

Pointing to the last clause above, he said sadly.

"How could you think of me like this? It's really sad. Look at this last one. If they can verify that I'm lying."

“Not only can they get back what they worked for, they can get double the compensation, which is just a simple lie.”

"It's like a bubble that appears hard on the outside but bursts easily with a poke. But they don't have the courage to verify what I say."

Having said that, Karl immediately changed into a serious expression, looking at Hannah’s still somewhat confused eyes and said.

"Courage is a precious quality of human beings. It is not something you can play many pranks on your classmates or violate school rules crazily."

"You already have courage. Real courage is the confidence you have when you face your deepest fears and dare to move forward."

"They don't have the courage. They have violated the tenets of Gryffindor. This is just a punishment for them."

After saying that, Karl picked up a piece of honey cake from his plate, handed it to Hannah, and said while touching the girl's soft and comfortable head.

"As for your first question, I didn't ask Professor McGonagall to lie for me, and I couldn't ask her to lie for me."

"That professor is an upright lady. I will always respect her. I just asked her a few questions about Transfiguration magic."

"And came up with some, welcomed my own genuine insights, the simplest exchanges, absolutely no lying involved."

Finally, Carl looked at Cedric and said helplessly while shaking his head.

"The whole performance was just to ease the guilt I felt for the huge loss I suffered from those two guys."

"It's a pity that even though the treasure is right before our eyes, the Gryffindor warriors don't have the courage to open the treasure chest in front of them."

It's so deceptive. Too deceptive.

Cedric looked at the Hufflepuffs and was deeply moved by Carl's words.

Even Hannah, who first raised the question, nodded repeatedly while tasting the honey cake.

With just a few words, Carl suddenly changed from a mischievous perpetrator to a victim who was deliberately plotting but not understood.

Cedric has become a Muggle all over, and he is increasingly feeling that the Sorting Hat must have been broken because it has been left for too long.

Or maybe that shabby hat had reached some kind of deal with this guy, otherwise such a person would never have been sorted into Hufflepuff.

Slytherin's soul should be in the Sorting Hat at this moment, roaring and howling non-stop.

But now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to take out his copy of the paper and hand it over.

And when Carl was clearing the list, he asked impatiently.

"By the way, how long will it take for your magic card plan to become a reality?"

Faced with such a serious question, Carl was very happy. This was a motivated subordinate.

Unlike those two, who thought about girls as soon as they met, this behavior was very unpromising in Carl's eyes.

I gave them a project to make money, but they didn't want to build a career and only wanted to have sex with women.

So he must punish them, and as for Cedric, Carl spoke carefully and seriously.

"The other problems are easy to solve. Wait until the stingy guy brings me some books on art."

"The art problem of the cards can be easily solved, but there are still some shortcomings in the magic technology."

"I need the support of a potion master."
