Chapter 151 - The twins (1/2)
It was the first duel he ever won against Professor Flitwick and he was rather excited because of that.
Of course, he had won the duel mostly because of deception by creating an invisible shield in front of himself before the stunner struck him and feigning unconsciousness before performing a surprise attack by sending that translucent binding spell at Professor Flitwick.
But a victory was still a victory so he was rather happy with the outcome.
Even if such a surprise attack would most like not work on the Professor the next time.
He was coming out of the shower in his new room when he saw his Magical Phone vibrating on the table.
He went to the table to picked up the phone before accepting the call.
”We're in trouble Harry.” Ted said as soon as the line was connected.
He frowned at Ted's words and his expression instantly became serious as he asked ”Why is that?”
”The purebloods are not very happy with the Magical Goods company.” Ted replied ”They know about the loophole you're using to run your mall and are planning to close that loophole in the next Wizengamot meeting.”
His company went against everything that the purebloods stood for.
His company brought progress to the magical world, something that the purebloods have actively been trying to halt for the past few centuries.
His company hired people from other magical species or half breeds as the purebloods call them. Something that th purebloods must have hated because they've been trying to oppress those same half breeds for a long time.
His Mall had the only shops where muggle products were being sold.
So he knew from the start that the purebloods would hate his guts and try to harm him or his company in any way possible.
So he already had contingency plans created for such a situation which would protect him and his company from them.
”Don't worry about it Ted.” He said with a confident smile ”I'll take care of them. Just leave everything to me.”
Ted's agitated expression calmed down a little at his words and he asked ”You have a plan to deal with them?”
”Yes I do. Can you tell me when the next Wizengamot meeting is?” he asked.
He nodded at those words asked something that he was curious about ”And how did you come to know about their plans?”
Ted gave a shrug at his words ”The plan to close the loophole you've been using to run your Mall is a rather open secret in the Traditionalists pureblood community. It was not that hard to bribe a few of those corrupt purebloods to gain this information.”
He nodded his head a that as what Ted told him made sense.
There were a lot of purebloods in the wizarding community who were not rich and would easily sell out their colleagues for some wealth.
”Good. In that case, keep an eye on them and inform me about any other plans they come up with. Oh… and also give me the names of the Pureblood idiots who are the most vocal about closing my shop.”
”It'll take some time to do that.” Ted replied. ”Not to mention even more bribes.”
”Don't worry about it. Take your time and ask Steve for any more funds.”
”I'll do that.”
”Very well then. I'll talk with you later. Goodbye.”
”Goodbye.”
He cut connection and sat down on the chair, wondering about the best way to deal with those pureblood idiots.
He already had a few plans ready in his mind but they would need a bit of preparation.
Oh well, he had three months to prepare so it was not like he was running out of time or anything.
With that, he took opened the book kept at the table and wore the Diadem before the started reading.

”Where Wood?” Angelina asked as she dumped a few slices of bread on her plate.
Oliver Wood, their Quidditch team caption was a punctual person so she couldn't help but notice his absence from the table.
”Yup.” Fred replied without even looking up at Katie.
”The last time we saw him.” George said.
”He was still in the bathroom.” Fred said.
