Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

Cedric scratched his head awkwardly, looking at the glaring English words among the pile of codes, not knowing how to explain it.

Just when he was feeling extremely embarrassed, the door of the box was suddenly opened from the outside.

"Karl, what on earth are those accountants you hired in Europe for? Don't they even know the tax laws of their own country?"

"If we record this amount of income, we will lose at least tens of millions of dollars."

The voice came before Hermione came in. Miss Beaver, dressed in black, rushed into the box in a hurry.

As a result, as soon as I walked to the door, I couldn't help but be stunned. After all, it was such a small space in the box.

A handsome blond boy pushed another equally handsome brown-haired boy into a corner and pinched the other's chin with one hand.

Forcing someone to look at something will indeed make them think too much at first glance.

"It seems I came at the wrong time."

Hermione spoke calmly, but her body had retreated to the outside of the box without her noticing, and the door handle of the box slowly closed.

Her face was full of disgust, but the speed at which the door closed made people wonder whether she was reluctant to give up the beautiful scenery before her.

"You misunderstand Miss Granger."

Cedric, who was just embarrassed, was the first to react. He quickly broke free from Carl and ran to the door.

He grabbed the door of the box that was trying to close and explained desperately.

"It's not what you think. Carl and I are just working."

"Just work." Hermione glanced at the box inside through the gap in the door that had not yet been closed.

He briefly recalled the scene he had just seen in his mind and shook his head seriously.

"Impossible. The actions you two just made don't look like work from any angle."

"You can't possibly practice gymnastics in the box."

"This?" Cedric was embarrassed.

"Hahaha!!"

Carl sat back in his seat and laughed in relief. He glared at Cedric who was also glaring at him.

He stretched lazily and said indifferently.

"What's there to explain? It's their right to make whatever associations they want with what they see."

"Besides, I'm not such a coward that I dare not take responsibility for what I do."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze towards Hermione and waved his hand gently, causing the door of the compartment that the two of them were holding tightly to open automatically.

An elegant chair flew next to the door.

"Let's sit down and talk. I already discovered the tax issue you mentioned when you wrote to me."

"Thanks for your professionalism. I have ordered all those unprofessional accountants to be fired. You have saved us a lot of losses."

"According to our agreement, 5% of the loss will be deposited into your parents' account."

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Carr."

Hermione responded calmly, with no expression on her frosty face.

Looking at that poker face, Carl was also a little embarrassed. He had never thought about it because of himself.

It made a girl who was once full of enthusiasm become as cold and as cold as iron.

After a brief moment of awkwardness, he saw that Hermione had no intention of leaving, so he asked.

"Is there anything else you can do for me, Miss Granger?"

Hearing this, Hermione took out a folder from her small bag and handed it over like a robot.

Karl took the folder and opened it, and saw a complicated form inside.

"What does this mean?" he asked puzzled.

"It's just a yearly planning form," Hermione replied calmly. "It's the year's work assignment you gave me as of yesterday."

"I have finished them all. Considering that we are already in the second grade, the learning tasks may be even more arduous."

"So I need you to list the detailed tasks that I need to do next year so that I can balance work and study."

"By the way my father is just an ordinary dentist and he has no great interest in politics."

"It would be very stressful for him to go to dinner with those senators."

Hearing this, Karl looked at the extremely complicated form in front of him, and suddenly felt his previous embarrassment and guilt.

It seems a bit redundant. Miss Beaver is still so strong, with changed appearance and personality.

Rather than saying that the change is caused by the collapse of the worldview, it is better to say that it is the true manifestation of the true self's character deep in the heart.

She is worthy of being the girl who will become the Minister of Magic in the future. If she didn't have some cunning and skill, no one would believe it.

Thinking of this, Carl took the document and handed it back to Hermione.

"Any questions?"

Hermione did not refuse, but also raised her doubts.

Carl also gave his explanation very calmly.

"No problem. The form you made is very detailed and even complicated, but what I want to emphasize is this."

"In the coming year, the wizarding world will inevitably undergo profound changes. I am not sure I can fully control the complexity of this change."

"So I can't give you a clear goal for next year. So you go back first before the next week comes."

"How about I give you a month's work goal?"

"can."

Hermione thought about it briefly, nodded in agreement, and left.

She even considerately closed the door of the box before leaving. After she left, Cedric couldn't help but say in his seat with some fear.

"Miss Granger's aura is so strong, she is like the next Professor McGonagall, who is angry every day."

"I remember that he was so enthusiastic and cheerful a year ago. Why did she become like this? And isn't his father a Muggle?"

"How could you get involved in our affairs? This is against the rules."

As he said this, Cedric looked at Karl with a weird look, as if to say.

"It's horrible that you turned your classmates into this, Mr. Hohenzollern."

Karl looked at the other person with a strange look and became so angry that he reached out and pinched the other person's face.

He forcibly pulled the man up from his position, stared into his eyes, and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Not everyone can be as open-minded as you, Mr. Diggory. The worldview formed by more than ten years of education."

"The impact of a collapse in an instant on a person's psychology, causing a drastic change in appearance and behavior, is a normal psychological phenomenon."

"Unlike some people who said they couldn't stand this cruel reality, but when they returned home, they showed no signs of hunger except for an increase in appetite."

"You are so unique, Mr. Diggory, one in a million."

As he said this, he released his right hand that was pinching Cedric's face and continued to look through the account book while speaking.

"As for Mr. Granger, he has nothing to do with you. I just asked him to help me handle some business in the UK."

"You will know the details later, now go and do what you should do."

"What's the matter?" Cedric covered his red face and said with tears in his eyes.

"Of course I have to go to work. This program must be completed today. If I can't, I won't have dessert tonight."

"Do not!!!!"

The ruthless answer, mixed with a roar, echoed throughout the entire train.
