Hogwarts: What bad intentions could the little badger have?

So, naturally, the business of this place is not good.

That's why the store owner is willing to sell the store.

……

Seeing that Black and Snape were about to quarrel.

Old Rep stepped forward.

"Leave it to me, even though it doesn't look good here right now."

"Four, six, and zero" "But..." Old Rep pulled out his wand.

"For a wizard, magic is the foundation."

"If you want a nice decoration and a good store, you don't need gold galleons at all."

"Isn't magic used for this..."

As Old Rep spoke, he gently waved the magic wand in his hand.

The next second, the space in this small and short shop began to expand instantly!

And the store’s grimy walls and floors were changing rapidly!

The stain, which seemed to have not been cleaned for more than ten years, disappeared miraculously.

The old floors and walls became as bright and clean as new in an instant!

The originally small and narrow window suddenly became larger and quickly became clean and tidy...

Snape looked at Old Rip in shock.

He can actually use magic to slowly transform a store.

but……

In an instant, he used spells such as the traceless extension spell, the cleaning spell, the restoration spell, etc. to change the entire store in an instant...

Snape doesn't have such ability yet!

The magic techniques involved are extremely advanced.

But it's not possible to imitate him just by analyzing what spell he used.

Only a great wizard like Dumbledore could easily perform such a difficult spell...

Snape looked at old Reep with complicated eyes.

This old wizard is just as capable as Dumbledore.

But it seems that he takes great care of Blake...

Could this be the backup plan Dumbledore left for his son?

Black paid no attention to Snape's tangled thoughts.

He was directing everyone to make the tables, chairs and benches that had been moved from Snape's office look better and more comfortable...

……

Magic is indeed magical.

Not long after, the store which was small, narrow and dark just now.

Now it's big and bright.

The floor-to-ceiling window next to the store door looks much more grand than before.

Blake admitted that he had somewhat overlooked the role of magic.

Why spend money on decorating an environment when you can transform it with magic?

but……

I still feel bad after getting a kickback...

"Snape, give me back my hard-earned money!"

"Tsk, this gold galleon is right here. If you call it, will it respond to you?"

……

After Blake placed the Vanishing Cabinet in the store, he went back.

Old Rep and his friends stayed and continued to improve the store.

Agatha also began to cast a concealing spell on the vanishing cabinet hidden in the back rest room...

After Black returned to school, he asked his phoenix to deliver a letter to Grindelwald.

The Traceless Stretching Charm cannot be used without permission.

Black's store was clearly covered with a traceless extension charm.

Therefore, he had to apply to the Ministry of Magic for a license and then file it.

Of course, with Grindelwald around, there wouldn't be any need for such trouble.

Sure enough, that evening, when Blake was about to finish his meal.

Grindelwald's reply came.

With his help, Blake's application was naturally approved very easily.

In addition to the permission documents, there was another thing that came with the letter.

That's a medal.

A Knight of the Order of Merlin, Second Class.

Blake put the medal aside.

Continue to look at the letter in your hand...

[…I am glad to tell you about your life-extending potion.

Through the experiments of various potion masters, it has been proven that it really has miraculous effects!

Therefore, as the inventor of this potion, this medal is the recognition you deserve.

To be honest, this potion of yours can earn you a first-class Order of Merlin.

But your age...those stubborn old guys are just nasty!

Is it impossible to invent new potions at such a young age?

Just because they are useless and wasting their time, they should think that everyone else in the world is just like them, just occupying an office and doing nothing?

To be honest, the world really needs to change, and perhaps we should start a revolution... Ahem, let's talk about this topic in private.

Let's get back to this matter...

After Dumbledore testified for you and proved that this was the potion you invented, these old guys reluctantly gave you a third-class Order of Merlin...

I turned their conference room upside down!

If Dumbledore hadn't stopped me...

In the end they were only willing to change the medal to a second-level one, and they didn't even want to hold an award ceremony!

Ah! That old bastard Dumbledore is really useless!

He actually told me that a Merlin, Second Class, was enough! ?

Seriously, in my heart, you deserve an Order of Merlin, First Class.

Wait, I've got my Daily Prophet to work on.

I have to expose these guys who are just sitting there doing nothing!

Of course, you are the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin!

This thing deserves a lot of hype!

Oh...by the way, the woman named Rita Sketa that you asked me to find is indeed quite capable.

I'll let her write this!

When I told her about this, she seemed very excited...

PS: Actually, there are still a lot of pretty girls in my school! Why don’t you consider transferring to another school? 】

Seeing the last sentence, Blake couldn't help but touch his nose.

"You old pervert, what does it have to do with me whether there are many pretty girls in your school... Am I that kind of person?"

Blake pulled out a piece of parchment and began to write his reply.

However, after putting the letter into the envelope.

Blake hesitated, then took out the letter again.

Then at the end of the letter, he added a sentence.

[…Pretty girl? No picture, no truth! ]

……

Now that the Order of Merlin is here.

Then his life-extending potion was officially recognized by the wizarding world.

Only approved potions can be sold through formal channels.

Only approved potions will be bought by others...

During this time, Black began to mass-produce life-extending potions.

Since Grindelwald wants Rita to be the writer, this matter will definitely be written in an outrageous way.

However, this was also a good publicity for his potion.

With free publicity from the Daily Prophet.

He had a hunch that this life-extending potion would be a best-seller!

……

"Only selling life-extending potions? You must be crazy."

This is what Snape blurted out after hearing Black's decision.

The ingredients for the life-extending potion are not cheap.

And there aren't that many finished products.

If we only sell life-extending potions, we simply wouldn’t have that much stock!

"Who said we should sell the finished product directly?"

"What do you mean?" Snape looked at Black in confusion.

Blake handed over another piece of parchment.

"Look at this."

"What is this? A diluent formula? What is a diluent?"

Blake spread his hands. "Diluent, as the name suggests, is of course used to dilute potions!"

"I can dilute a bottle of my life-extending potion into a thousand bottles with a diluent and sell them!"

Snape looked at Black with disdain.

"You still say I'm heartless? Can you look at what you have done..."

"Dilute a bottle of potion into a thousand bottles and sell them?"

"Are you speaking human language?"

"Your heart is all black, right?!"

Blake smiled and said, "You know how powerful my life-extending potion is."

“You also know how high the cost is…”

“How many people do you think can afford it if I don’t dilute it?”
