Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

"I understand, Professor McGonagall." Seeing that Professor McGonagall was about to guess what he was thinking, Carl quickly responded perfunctorily.

Then he asked Percy to start putting on the equipment in front of him. After he finished putting on the equipment, he put the night vision goggles directly on his eyes.

After turning on the switch, Carl stood aside and said exaggeratedly.

“How is the effect? ​​Does it feel like you have discovered a new world?”

Percy, wearing his equipment, slowly opened his eyes and was shocked by the scene in front of him. He saw the forbidden forest which was pitch black all around him.

At this moment, it was covered by a strange green light, and the trees, birds and those hidden magical animals became clearly visible in his eyes.

"What kind of magic is this? It's really amazing, Mr. Hohenzollern. I have never seen such amazing magic."

Percy shouted in surprise, looking left and right with his head covered with night vision goggles, like a child who just got a new toy.

His unusual behavior immediately aroused the curiosity of other senior students, and they all walked up to Percy.

While looking each other up and down, Carl and Cedric took out several other sets of equipment from the briefcase.

After placing it on the ground, Carl looked at the curious crowd and smiled.

"Remember what I told you before? Practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

"Instead of surrounding each other and groping in the dark, it is better to try it yourself and see if everyone is anxious."

As soon as Carl finished speaking, the excited students ran over one by one, picked up their equipment and started putting it on.

I couldn't wait to start the experience, and what followed was a wave of exclamations that became louder and louder.

"It's amazing, what kind of magic is this."

"The darkness disappeared before my eyes. Who would have believed it? And the centaurs and the hidden magical creatures."

"Why are there white lights coming out of them? Everything is clearly visible before my eyes."

"Mr. Hohenzollern, this experience is really great."

The students' exclamations also made Professor McGonagall a little curious. With the help of Carl, she also put on a set of night vision equipment.

The moment the night vision goggles were turned on, Professor McGonagall didn't know what words to use to describe what she saw.

But after the experience, Professor McGonagall took off her helmet swiftly, looked at Carl with a heavy face and asked.

"How much do these things cost? Hogwarts doesn't have much money to pay you right now. I hope you won't go too far."

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about!!!" Karl's face was full of grievance and disappointment.

"Am I, in your mind, a person who values ​​money so much and has no humanity at all?"

"I did all this to protect the lives of my dear classmates. I have no selfish motives at all."

“This equipment is free to use, but if there is such a situation in the future, the school is welcome to purchase it from me.”

"But as for the price, we need to discuss it carefully. I can't afford to lose money, right?"

When Professor McGonagall first heard Carl say this and saw the expression on the little guy's face, she felt a little guilty.

I thought I had somewhat wronged the child, but after hearing the end, the feeling of guilt disappeared without a trace in an instant.

It turns out that a dog can't change its eating structure. This little jerk will try to defraud the school's limited funds if we are not careful.

But Professor McGonagall thought about it carefully and felt that it was actually nothing, because the money was earned by Dumbledore with great pride anyway.

In the end, it would not be him who would be embarrassed, so Professor McGonagall quickly changed the subject and urged the other students to speak.

"Well, now that we have the help of this equipment, let's immediately follow the established plan and head to the Forbidden Forest to search for the two Aurors."

"If you encounter that dark wizard, you are not allowed to act on your own. Send a signal immediately. Do you understand?"

"That's so boring." As soon as Professor McGonagall finished speaking, someone immediately expressed dissatisfaction.

Carl also took this opportunity to distribute the batch of AR15s to each student and began to carefully explain the structure of the firearms.

"This is the magazine, this is the trigger, and this is the sight hole. Line this hole up with the ruler in front."

"You can then aim, aim at the target, and simply pull the trigger to fire."

"Line up one by one, let's do some simple training first."

Seeing this group of his students, each holding a dangerous weapon, standing there and comparing them.

Professor McGonagall walked behind Carl with her eyes twitching, pulled the little bastard over, and said angrily.

"What are you doing here? How can you bring these dangerous things into Hogwarts? What if they accidentally hurt themselves?"

"But time is running out, we should act immediately."

Carl turned and looked at Professor McGonagall and said with some disdain.

"Professor McGonagall, I cannot agree with what you said. Magic does not want to send Aurors to Hogwarts."

"I think you know better than me what they are thinking, but now there is a real problem and they can't even protect themselves."

"Why should we help them clean up this mess? Being able to go in and collect their bodies is already our greatest sincerity."

"Now that dangerous guys are living and wandering around the castle, we have to protect ourselves. This is a right that no one can deprive us of."

"And please rest assured, those bullets have been transformed by magic. Hitting the target will only make the target unconscious. There is absolutely no danger to life."

After saying that, Carl walked towards the students again and continued to teach them how to use the guns.

Professor McGonagall stood at the back, looking at Carl in the middle of the crowd, unable to say a word for a long time.

It was not until half an hour had passed that most of the students present had mastered the use of firearms.

Carl then took out his last trump card, a piece of special Velcro, which he personally stuck on the shoulders of every student.

He took out his magic wand again and lightly tapped the Velcro. A blue fluorescent light instantly entered the Velcro.

At the same time, miniature versions of the Hogwarts school emblems appeared in the open space in front of everyone.

"This is my improved Apparition spell. After you enter the Forbidden Forest, try to find the whereabouts of those two bastards."

"If you encounter Voldemort, don't have any thoughts, just aim and fire. Empty the magazine first and then talk about anything else."

"If there is any danger, I will immediately use magic to move you to the marked location on the open space."

"Well, gentlemen, the safety of the school is in our hands this time, so let's go all out and do our best."

Carl opened his arms like a general who had just completed a pre-war mobilization. The soldiers in front of him raised their weapons and cheered loudly.

They were full of confidence for the upcoming battle, and some even had a strong desire to perform, imitating the soldiers they had seen in Muggle movies before.

Holding the gun in both hands, he walked slowly and heavily to Professor McGonagall and saluted in a standard military manner.

Finally, with a look of "certain death", he plunged into the forbidden forest.

Looking at the students who came to salute her one by one, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but sigh and sighed in her heart.

"It's over. It looks like we can't save the last two and a half colleges."
