Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

When the words came out, Cedric felt a little regretful. He and Hagrid still had a good relationship.

He had a great liking for the enthusiastic and kind giant.

But between two evils, choose the lesser of two evils. Cedric was really scared when he thought of Carl's various outrageous actions.

He was afraid that if he let this guy focus on his broomstick, his dream of buying a Nimbus 2000 would be ruined.

It really became a dream, and I had no more thoughts.

So let Hagrid suffer for now and let him take the blame.

Carl, who was standing by, heard this guy talking and actually guessed what the other person was thinking.

At the same time, I felt a little regretful in my heart. I had been in school for so many days, but I was only focused on collecting wealth in the castle.

I forgot that the large forbidden forest outside the castle is also a huge treasure trove.

What, some people say that the magical animals in the Forbidden Forest are free and are not anyone's personal property.

That's pure bullshit. Your own territory is your own property. As a student, Hogwarts School is Carl's home.

He should have the right to control all the wealth here, and even the principal should work for him.

Who would dare to object to going into the Forbidden Forest to get some magical animal furs or something like that?

As for violating school rules, that is just an option that can be ignored.

Action speaks louder than words. After finishing lunch, he walked out of the castle alone.

Walking towards the edge of the forbidden forest.

It's already a bit cold in the Scottish Highlands in September. Although the sun is shining today, the cold wind blows across your face.

It still made people shiver, and the students passing by couldn't help but tighten their collars.

Following the Black Lake, crossing the soft and fragrant grass, Carl came to a small wooden cabin at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

In fact, it can’t be considered small. At least the door is three or four meters high, and the overall style of the building is very rough.

It looked like a makeshift structure by a child, and it looked a lot like a giant goblin's burrow.

Before Carl could get close, a black dog next to the cabin started barking.

The ferocious barking and the saliva flowing from the big dog's mouth were indeed quite intimidating.

But Carl understood that this big dog named Yaya was a typical coward, so he just gave him a look.

Yaya's previous crazy barking gradually became less in tone, and finally turned into just a low whimpering sound.

At the same time, a dull complaint finally came from the room.

"What's going on, Fangya? Is there another little wizard going to the Forbidden Forest? Stop him quickly."

Then there was a series of ping-pong sounds, the door was pushed open from the inside, and Hagrid walked out in a panic.

With his messy hair and tangled beard, he looks sloppy, and he is nearly three meters tall and two meters wide.

It does look a bit scary.

However, Carl knew that the giant in front of him was very kind-hearted and eager to make friends.

So he walked straight up to the other person, stretched out his right hand, and showed a harmless, gentle smile.

"Nice to meet you again, Mr. Hagrid. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Karl Hohenzollern."

Hagrid was stunned at first, because usually when the little wizards saw him, fear was always higher than respect.

Except for the first day of school, very few little wizards would take the initiative to make friends with him.

So after a moment of stunned silence, Hagrid quickly held Carl's hand with his sturdy palm and said with a silly smile.

"Hello Mr. Hohenzollern, nice to meet you, you are a famous figure in the school."

But after the greetings, Hagrid remained alert, looked around, and reminded with a serious face.

"I don't know what you are doing here, but you'd better leave. Entering the forbidden forest without permission is against school rules."

"If you leave now, I can pretend I didn't see anything."

"hehe!"

Carl chuckled. He came all the way here and his hair was messed up. If he went back like this, wouldn’t it be a waste of his trip?

A thief never leaves empty-handed. Oh no, it should be a smart entrepreneur who will make a profit from every transaction.

I absolutely cannot come here in vain, so he said with a smile.

"Of course, I admire your work ethic, but I don't think there is any school rule that states that a good student at Hogwarts should be treated as such."

"Why don't you come and visit our loyal, kind and lovely ranger?"

This unprecedented flattery made Hagrid blush, and at the same time, he really wanted to communicate with other people.

So he quickly turned sideways and invited Karl in.

Inside the room, the bonfire in the fireplace was burning brightly, with two crackling explosions coming from time to time.

The whole house was warm. There was a small stool in the house, but no table, and all kinds of strange things were hanging around.

It felt very much like a hunting lodge, and I looked around.

Carl kept nodding.

"This decoration is very atmospheric. I think I can also renovate my villa in the woods in Nevada according to this template."

The two consecutive flatteries made this half-blood giant smile awkwardly.

His previous businesslike attitude suddenly became enthusiastic, and he wanted to arrange a seat for Karl.

But he found that there was nothing in the room except a stool, so he picked it up awkwardly, wiped it, handed it to Karl, and said awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect someone to come and visit me on purpose, so I wasn't well prepared."

Carl didn't mind at all and sat on it, while Hagrid sat on his bed.

After they sat down, Hagrid spoke first.

"First of all, welcome to visit me. If you need any help, please feel free to ask Mr. Hohenzollern."

"Just call me Carl." Carl was also very casual, "All my friends can call me by my name, and I think you are no exception."

"Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you."

"How could this be!!" Hagrid was a little nervous. He just sat down and quickly stood up, walked to the fireplace and picked up a 30-inch iron plate.

After putting it on the table, he took out a cloth bag, opened the bag and many candies rolled out.

He searched the room for a long time and took out a few dark brown shield-like cakes.

"Have some candy and some freshly made rock cakes."

Carl picked up the candy with a smile and took just one bite out of politeness. As for the cookies, he only gave them to express his gratitude.

At the same time, he was full of curiosity about it. He picked up a piece, put it in his hand, and tapped it gently with his knuckles.

Soon, a crisp sound similar to that of ceramic could be heard from the surface of the biscuit.

Carl's capitalist killer instinct was immediately activated, and he picked up the rock cake and walked to the fireplace.

I put it on the flame and roasted it for a while, then checked it carefully and found that there was no crack on the surface.

"What's the problem, Carl?"

This series of operations made Hagrid a little dazzled, and he asked in confusion.

Carl was extremely happy. He turned to look at Hagrid and asked slowly with his signature smile.

"Do you want to make money, sir? If possible, can you teach me the recipe of this cookie?"

“I guarantee a lot of people will enjoy it and you can make a lot of money.”
