Chapter 109 - 109 - start of a business and card fight

Harry's POV

"Now that we finished with this," Harry sighed, thinking about the time he lost today before cheering himself with the fact he not only about to have two helpers, in his researches and in the war, but start a wizarding business that would make sure he has more steady income, not only for his future after Hogwarts, but to continue his studies after he make sure the Potter's riches are in Goblin's hands.

"Let's talk about the future of our business."

"What's there to talk about?" Asked Fred "We create joke products, sell them, make money and smiles."

"Sure, that's one way to do it, but you know there are multiple ways to make people happy while making us more money, plus, what about the fact everything needs to be done by hand making it time consuming, thus after we start the business creating new products would be much harder." Harry didn't even want to mention the fact that only making joke items lowers the amount of people who would buy the products and the time of year they would buy it, as the buyers would mostly be students and whether the shop would be in Hogsmead or Diagon ally, there would be a time they don't buy there throughout the year.

"Oh, you mean to use machines like muggles to produce the merchandise?" Luna asked excited.

"Bingo." Harry said "If you remember the books I gave the three of you last Christmas,"

"You mean the one that disappeared after two days so we haven't finished reading him after playing with the muggle joke products you gave us?" Said George, still annoyed about that.

"Yes, that's the one." Harry said, ignoring the irritation in the man's voice.

"So, as was written in page 69-78, muggle technology and magic don't have problems working together, and in page 143-167 ("how the help is he remembering the exact page?" [George]"He has perfect memory"[Fred] "oh right" [George] "don't bother him he is in his teacher mode"[Luna]) it's explained that one of the muggles' advantages are their ability to create products much faster then us, as they don't need to create each one of them personally, and that the reason we can't do that is that our products are created with our magic, which is why even potions have to be created by magical people."

"But they use electricity, don't they? And you told me it's just a different, less complicated state of magic, why can't we use the same to create products?"

"Well Luna, that's partially right, it's more accurate to say that magic is a higher state of energy, maybe the highest, and there is no reason for us not to do it, except that we would need to continually power up machines with magic, or we would need to create an artificial magical generator and right now I only know of one magical generator, the philosopher's stone."

"You mean that if we create this magical generator we would be immortals!?" Fred said with his eyes wield.

"No!" Harry said shaking his head hard. "The philosopher's stone is a semi-natural generator, we would create artificial one."

"Why not create the philosopher's stone then?" George asked

"For three reasons, 1) It took Nicolas Flamel most of his life to discover it, we shouldn't waste so much time on it. 2) We aren't sure how he created it, as much as he said it was with alchemy, creating something that can create gold and maintain life shouldn't be possible by alchemy alone, as it works on the principle, like all magic, of equal exchange, and that creation is based on creating something out of nothing."

"What do you mean equal exchange?" George asked

"You supply enough magic and fire is lit is a perfect example for easy magic with simple exchange, harder magics require more magic, therefor creating the basic first five years syllabus of charms in Hogwarts, more complicated magics require extra ingredients, there by creating the potion class and DADA class, as when you do magic you don't have the right price to pay you pay something else, this led to the creation of dark magic."

"Wait, let's put aside that potions and dark magic are basically the same, just regular magic that people don't have enough magic to do, why can't the philosopher's stone just be like a potion?" Luna asked

"That's what I thought, until I searched when were potions created, did you know there isn't any books on potions, nor mentions of potions in the history books from before 483 years ago in Hogwarts, with the exception of magical people making muggles pay for colored mud water as a way for quick money? In fact, the first time a real potion was showed to the world was were Russia is today, when a man by the name of Nikolai Agapov when the wizarding council over there debated forbidding rituals and he gave it as a substitute, and while I have doubts it was truly the first potion ever created, there is no doubt it wasn't good enough to create the elixir of life two hundred years before potions became a subject which are taught at school.

That means he created it in a ritual, and while it's possible it was a simple one, and that he just continued doing it to keep the stone working, I don't have the knowledge to do it, nor do we have the need, as to create a magical generator can be done much more simply."

"Really? How?" Fred asked

"By using three things we already have, the coils which can transport magic, the students love for chocolate frog's cards, and something I learned about in my summer trip to Japan, have you heard about Yu-Gi-Oh?"

One month later

Luna's POV

It took three weeks of constant work for all of them finish creating the products, the twins worked the use of disks to create illusions based on the specific cards that were put on the decks, Harry worked on the taking of magic based of the 'life points' you put inside, so not only would it be possible to take all the losing side's life points to a container he created, but in the end the winner's side also, thus making sure both side's magic go use in all of their company.

Yes all of them, as Luna was the one working on the card creation, whether it's painting them or researching the right magical animals, artifacts, spells, or people, she became one of the four owners of the company that created monster's card dual (the name that they decided to call their game), it then took one week of testing, to see it works exactly right everywhere at school by having duals everywhere they could, with the exception of both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff's common rooms, after another week of extreme work on decks and cards, in which somehow Harry created enough disks for the entire school and Luna and the twins created copies painted magically as it's much faster then by hand, and it was now, at breakfast of the second Saturday of December, that the twins are about to start marketing it.

"Hello all breakfast eaters" said George, who was now even easier to recognize with his colorful wings like aura, both him and Fred standing on the Hufflepuff table, as it was in the middle of the hall.

"Sit dawn Messrs Weasley!" Said professor McGonagall.

"Just a second, we're just about to announce something." Fred said, him having a radish brown aura now

"15 points from Gryffindor." Professor Snape said making even Luna roll her eyes 'seriously, can't he at least listen'

"Now, now," the headmaster said "let's see what Messrs Weasley has to say." 'Sure, make yourself the good guy.' Since Luna heard Pettigrew's story she couldn't help but see everything Dumbledore said as manipulation.

"Thank you professor, now, where was I?"

"Hello all breakfast eaters, though now that they are looking at us they aren't eating, with the exception of Ronnikins, Crabbe and Goyle, so we should start differently, how about 'Good morning students, teachers and occasional owl'" Fred answered to the rhetorical question "thank you, Good morning students, teachers and the occasional owl, you are about to witness history." George said dramatically making a few students, Luna among them, to laugh.

"Aren't you tired of the same old boring games?" Fred asked, making people murmur "Aren't you tired of having no way or resolving conflict at school without getting detention or point loss, as whether it's physically, or magical way, you aren't allowed to do anything? If you are then this game is for you."

"We, and our associates, created this card game, where your knowledge, power, luck, strategy and anything else you would need in a real world fight is joined together for an epic dual, one that can show who is superior in every fight! So, do you want to hear the rules?"

Daphne's POV

As much as Daphne didn't want to admit it, this game sounded intriguing enough, not to mention it might help stop all the pointless fights some of the students (cough, Malfoy, cough) start.

"It's pretty simple actually, we will give everyone of the students, free of charge of course, one deck of 40 basic random cards, some of them might be the same as other students get, some might be unique, and we would give them to the teachers to distribute, so there would be no thoughts of us giving Gryffindors preferential treatment. In addition we would give every student disk dual, on which you fight." As twin A continued telling the rules, twin B went to professor Flitwick with a box that was apparently on the chair next to him, gave it to him and returned.

"The game is to use the cards you have against the cards your opponent has to get his life point to zero, there are monster cards, magic cards, and traps.

Monster cards can be real magical creatures, important historical wizards or witches, magical plants or even regular animals, they can either be summoned regularly or with a special requirement and some might have special abilities, each has attack and defense points, all of which would be written on the cards, and both the attack points of monsters can be raised by using your magic on the cards.

Magic cards work as cards of special affects, there are different kinds of magical cards, most of which are charms and transfigurations, but there are also potions, divination and astrology.

Lastly, the are traps, which are magical cards that you put in your turn to use in your opponent's turn, it is mostly runes and arithmancy, with potions and herbiology as addition.

The first one to make his opponent reach zero wins.

Any questions?"

Daphne had a few, most of which are about whether or not Harry Peverel was one of their associates, as she could almost smell him over this, there is no way the Weasleys could think about this game, yet before she could gather her thoughts, someone asked them a question she missed.

"Excellent question! There are four ways to get new cards in addition to your original 40." Twin B said "The first is to find improvements to cards, for instance, if someone learns that the lumos charm was created to keep at bay evil spirits and it doesn't show the affect in the card, tell us and show us your source, if it is true we would give you a rare pack of five cards.

The second way is to buy from us, 5 Knuts for a common pack, where the chance to get rare is little, 9 knuts for rare pack, where you would get at least one rare card for sure, and 19 Knuts for unique packs where you even have a chance to get unique cards that has less then 10 copies each. Again, you don't have to buy, you could always play with the free cards we gave you, the only reason we even make it possible to buy is that those things cost us money.

Third way is pay us galleon a card, and we will create a pack of your desire.

And lastly, unique events, where we would make a game of sorts in school, in which people can even get legendary cards, the first of each is today, and the prices are:

10)professor Trelawney-monster with great divination effect.

9)professor Vector-monster with great arithmancy effect.

8) professor Babbling- monster with great arithmancy effect.

7) professor Binns - monster with great sleep inducing effect

6) professor Lupin -monster with two great secret effects, one that when used could make you win, yet can only be used by those with the knowledge to use them." She saw the DADA Professor pale a little, making her wonder what secret could they mean.

5) professor Sprout - monster with great herbiology effect and uniting effect

4) professor Flitwick - monster with two great dualing effects

3) professor Snape - monster with a potion effect and point reduction effect

2) professor McGonagall - monster with great transfiguration effect and detention effect

And of course 1) the headmaster, professor Dumbledore, with three effects, one transfiguration effect, one defense against the dark arts affect and one hogwarts affect."

The only person who didn't want to play was probably Professor Snape, if everything they said about the game is true, then not only was it about to become the number one game, it was also extremely impressive magic.

"Everyone, students and teachers, get your disk and pack from Professor Flitwick and get ready, the first tournament of the monster dual cards begin!"

Omake

He remembered a life before, a life where this world was a book, a movie, so it shouldn't surprise anyone he was bored of this world, as he woke in the body of a fu*king history professor's ghost. Why, why, why couldn't he be transmigrated in someone alive, even if that person wasn't the main character, even if he didn't have magic!

Not to mention this world wasn't exactly the one he saw in previous life, there were two Harry Potters, but well, he got used to it, living in a fanfiction, yet.... "why are there

Yu-Gi-Ho disks and fights? Don't tell me that I was transmigrated into a crossover!?"
