Chapter 16: The Hogwarts Express
Although Maple knew that his cards would sell well in the future, they were almost unpopular in the early days. And although it is a start-up, in order to maintain the quality and reputation of the real card, these cards are the best possible anti-counterfeiting means.
There are only a few hundred cards in the card store now, which is miserable. But now the store has the first anime storybook, and Maple has made some adaptations. As the Lord of Destiny, he can only play cards, how can he do it without the dark power to confront the villain?
Just playing cards to save the world would be too bad.
Of course, when worn on this body, the background and protagonist of the game's story naturally become British and British.
For the initial investment, Maple smashed in a few hundred Galleons, and had to be slaughtered by the goblins, all in pounds. At present, the store only has a printer-sized machine for printing cards, but it cannot be said to be printing, because its function is only to color blank cards.
Yes, the cards are ordered by the factory, just to prevent imitation, just to order blank cards.
Yu-Gi-Oh's novels have been sent to the publishing house, and the most important copyrights regarding games and novels are the first to be resolved.
Although it is difficult at the moment, there is already a primitive structure, and then some of the people who Maple gave away the Hope Light badge to be the legal counsel of the Hope Light Games Company, the company manager, and so on. Maple put the name of the company in the name of the orphanage director and left the company in the hands of these people.
In the future, Maple will continue to send some money, but when the company has a complete set of machinery and equipment for the whole process of printing cards, and then retains some funds for publicity, Maple will no longer throw money into it, and everything in the future of this company will be handed over to these talents who have high hopes for themselves to take care of it.
When the company's performance has reached the desired level, Maple will do it again, giving Takahashi's 1% stake and 2/3 of the annual net profit to build his ideal Hope University, the Hogwarts of the Muggle world.
After taking care of all these ownerships, and then when Maple's magic power became stronger, he decided not to interfere with it after giving the Ray of Hope School the best teaching materials in every industry. What the future will look like after that is up to these young people to fight for themselves.
The pockets were empty, with only a dozen Galleons left, but Maple didn't care, and when she got back to Hogwarts, her fanny pack would soon be bulging.
In the past two years, although Maple has not practiced magic much, in the process of changing Muggle society, the joy and sense of accomplishment in it, as well as the experience gained in the process, have sublimated Maple's mind again and again, and he has now completely taken all the silent remnants of magic in his body into his control.
The fly in the ointment is that these are not all of the magic that Murphy once had, and about a third of them have escaped from the body and disappeared into nature in the past two years.
With Maple's current strength, he can hunt down the eight-eyed spider that is even more powerful than before. And now that he's in school, the mischievous Weasley brothers are in their third year, he can ask them to help sell the poison of the eight-eyed spiders, instead of sneaking around like he had done before.
After receiving an offer of admission to Hogwarts, Maple made her way to Diagon Alley. He only had a dozen Galleons left in his hand, and all the textbooks were second-hand. The wizard's robe Maple didn't buy, compared to the exchange of the gold Galleon and the pound sterling, Maple bought a few sets of Muggle clothes, and then cast a transfiguration charm on the clothes.
Bought a briefcase, cast a traceless expansion charm, and put all the clothes and textbooks in it. And the rest of the money that Maple had, after buying a cauldron, bought all kinds of potions.
He still wants to make a fortune from potions, but he doesn't know if his talent in potions class will be up to par.
"Yo, what a coincidence!" Before the Weasleys appeared, Maple ran into Harry Potter with Hedwig looking confused and at a loss.
Unlike Harry, who carried a large heavy suitcase, Maple carried a handbag, and his owl lay asleep curled up on one of his shoulders. Originally, if it was just like that, he would be perfect. But unfortunately, a black bat lying on his other shoulder completely ruined the atmosphere.
As for why he did this, because Maple had a second episode, he was going to let the black bat stay like this from time to time, so that everyone else would treat it as a pet. But in the third year, when the Dementors appeared on the train, the little pet flew out and chased away a carload of Dementors. That scene, cool, this force, I give full marks!
Seeing the owl on Maple's shoulder, Harry Potter's face immediately lit up, and he hurriedly walked over and politely asked Maple for directions.
Maple walked between platforms 9 and 10, and tentatively touched the stone pillar in the middle with his hand, and his hand went straight through it.
Sure enough, after confirming that the pillar could pass through, Maple went straight through the wall and walked in, and Harry quickly followed behind him.
Then a crimson locomotive appeared in front of him, with a sign next to it that said Hogwarts Express, eleven o'clock.
Smoke from steam locomotives bilfted over the chirping crowd, and cats of all colors walked through people's feet. Amid the humming of the crowd and the cacophony of dragging heavy luggage, owls also chirped and chirped.
Maple carried a suitcase the size of a briefcase, and Harry pushed the cart all the way, passing several carriages, and was almost at the back of the car before finding an empty compartment.
Damn, it turns out that not only the secular world, but also the passengers of the magical world are inevitably in the habit of occupying seats. Students in the second grade and above occupied all the carriages in front of them, and the first-year students were still relatively simple and did not know each other, so this vice did not appear.
Of course, if Maple has a girlfriend in the future, he will definitely dominate the seat, occupy a position for the female ticket, and even occupy a compartment for the two. This is how the ass decides the head, and different positions say different things.
Harry was seen to have dragged his suitcase to the car door several times, but he didn't move it. With a wave of Maple's wand, Harry's suitcase flew up and landed in a corner of the cubicle.
"Cool!" The little wizards around them who saw this scene shouted in unison, and their eyes lit up as they looked at Maple's figure.
Ding, I taught a good lesson to the young wizards who were not enrolled in school, and showed the excellent quality of Xueba - to be a good teacher and get a little Xueba value.
Is this also the characteristic of a top student, how does it feel like pretending to be forced!
Ding, the host discovers the essence of the scholar, and the good one who pretends to be forced is a good scholar, and obtains a little scholarly value. Give the scumbags a crit to their hearts, and let them feel the malice of the children from other people's families in this world!
I don't know if it's the guidance of fate, but Ron Weasley, another member of the Savior Trio, also came to this room.
"Hello, may I sit here?"
"Sit casually, there's no one here." Maple said.
Then Ron was also a small man, and with another wave of his wand, the box flew over and landed steadily.
Ding, and then another little bit of Xueba value is in hand.
"You're going to be able to do magic before you even enter school, that's cool!" Ron Weasley said enviously, then asked, "Are you from the Magic Family?" ”
Ron was referring to pure-bloods, but because of their family style, the Weasleys didn't like to be proud of their pure-bloods, and they didn't talk about purebloods.
"No, I'm from the Muggle world, and I'm an orphan." Maple said, then casually added, "I don't know what your names are?" ”
"Ron Weasley!"
"Harry Potter!"
"Oh my God, you're Harry Potter, the Harry Potter who defeated the mysterious man?" As he spoke, Ron Weasley couldn't help but glance his eyes at Harry's forehead.
"Is he famous?" Maple feigned surprise.
"Of course, there is no one in the entire wizarding world who does not know his name!" Ron Weasley said.
"Hey, I'm not human, am I air?" Maple joked.
"Hey, hey." Ron smiled sheepishly.
"Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Maple Arribas. I hope you all get into Gryffindor so that we can study in one house in the future. Maple introduced herself.
"Aren't you a freshman?" Looking at Maple, who was about the same height as himself, Ron Weasley asked.
"yes, what's wrong?" Maple said.
"How do you know you're going to get into that academy yet?"
"Professor McGonagall has helped me a lot before, and if she doesn't go into her house, I'm afraid she will be upset." Maple said casually.
"Professor McGonagall, do you know Professor McGonagall, the Dean of Gryffindor?" Ron said in surprise.
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Wait, I know who you are, you're the one who managed to control Silent Mir Arribas?" Ron Weasley wondered, "No wonder you know magic right now. ”
Ron was a little downcast, meeting two celebrities in one carriage, and he was the only one who was inconspicuous.
Ha, am I so famous, how did I not know?
Maple wanted to say this, but when he saw Ron's depressed appearance, he shut his mouth as well.
"Hi man, cheer up! In that case, let me cast a spell that will make you happy! Maple said.
As soon as he heard that he was going to cast a spell, Ron immediately felt more energetic, and Harry's eyes lit up as he looked at Maple with a wistful expression.
"Heavenly spirit, earth spirit, make this stupid boy happy!" Maple said in a crepe manner, and he couldn't help but sneer after saying that.
"I don't seem to feel anything, isn't it a magic failure!" Ron Weasley said.
"Haha, silly boy, you don't really think it's a spell, do you?" Maple said, and then gave the two illiterate a make-up lesson: "The spells are cast with syllables and sentences, and there is a wand wave. Only wizards who are powerful enough to do so, like the teachers at Hogwarts, can cast a spell in that short period of time. So spells that don't tell you the syllables and broken sentences can't be released. ”
Ron's heart immediately moved when he heard this, and he immediately thought that the phrase his brother had told him, "Daisies, sweet cream, and sunshine turn this stupid fat mouse yellow" turned out to be a fake to deceive him.
