Chapter 113 - Small new inventions (1/2)

The end of the term exams had already started. But instead of attending the exams, Harry was instead negotiating with Coretin de Phillippe instead.

Coretin was a middle aged French Wizard who owned a small shop in their magical community that specialized in the construction of magical homes.

He worked there alongside a few other wizards and they took all kinds of commissions from small single person house to large mansions.

Their work was fast, efficient and beautiful.

Which was exactly what he wanted at this point in time.

If he had more time in his hands, then he would have enlisted the help of a few house elves and a few wizards before creating the mall he'd designed on his own.

But as it so happened, he was running out of time and Coretin's group was his best bet at getting the building ready before the official launching date of his company.

He was paying a lot for this creation of his mall. About 15,000 galleons in fact.

And he would have to pay about 5,000 more galleons for the wards and the other safety and security measures after the construction of the mall was completed.

And then he would have to create runes and charms for things like escalator in the mall that Coretin knew nothing about.

In total, this would take a lot of his time but he knew that it would all be worth with.

With that thought, he showed the blueprint of the mall that he drew from memory and then showed the location to Coretin who just gave him a somber nod before apparating back to his small shop, getting prepared for the large construction project up ahead.

”I've heard that you were very good at Ancient Runes and charms Sylvia?” Harry asked and the muggleborn wizard nodded his head.

”Well, not as good as you but I can easily carve every single rune up to the NEWTs level easily and the same could be said for my charms talent.”

”I see. Have you ever worked with extension charms and expended spaces?” he asked and she nodded once again, this time with much more enthusiasm.

”Yes I have. In fact, the project that completed for extra credits for my 7th year charms subject was creating Bottomless Bag. It was the reason why I got O*in that subject.” She said cheerfully and he smiled.

This was going to be easier than he had thought if the girl already knew all these things.

Well, he was calling her a girl but she was in fact a 23 years old young woman, which made her a fair bit older than the age of his current body.

”In that case. Take a look at this.” He said, passing on the large bag to Sylvia who gazed at it curiously.

”I don't think I've ever seen a trunk like this in my life.” She said as she studied the bag. ”Can it even be called a trunk or should I call it a bag instead.”

”None of the above. This thing here, is called a trolley bag. It has already been invented and are being used by a minor few people in America. But those trolley bags are rather primitive and not very easy to carry.”

”This one, is an advanced version of those trolley bags. And the whole concept of a trolley bag is rather simple.” He said and was about to start explaining when she interrupted him.

”Wait wait… Let me guess. There's this handle thing at the top and there are wheels in the bottom. So that must mean that one must pull the trolley bag instead of carrying it, which would make it far easier for people. Right?” she asked enthusiastically and he nodded, getting a bit worried about her excessively cheerful personality and wondering if she would really be a good employee.

”Yes. Unlike the medieval trunks that they sell in Diagon Alley, these Trolley bags are far easier to carry anywhere.”

”I see.” She said as she opened the bag and looking inside at all the charms and runes placed in it.

After inspecting everything, she put on serious expression and said ”The runes and charms placed in this bag are not very hard for me to replicate. But there's a problem with this whole thing.”

”Oh and what would that be?” he asked curiously.
