  ---------------------------------------

  On Privet Drive, at the Dursleys’ house, Harry was writing and drawing in a large notebook. He was working on a plan.

  Money is a very, very important thing.

  Harry understood this very well when he was in the world of Muggles. And this year, in the wizarding world, this understanding was further confirmed.

  Harry himself was not lacking money, but nearly all the young wizards at school had pockets emptier. It wasn't that these young wizards came from particularly poor families, after all, those like Ron, who came from financially struggling households, were a minority.

  The main reason was that most parents didn't give their children much money, mainly because the students at Hogwarts were between the ages of eleven and seventeen.

  Although this is not the most mischievous phase for a child, it is definitely the peak stage, when mischief and action combine. If a boy at that age had money in his pocket, Merlin knew what could happen.

  Of course, it's also true that most wizarding families aren’t particularly wealthy.

  Throughout this year, Harry had lent forty or fifty Galleons, not including the two hundred Galleons he lent to the twins on the last day. Essentially, the amounts he lent were like one or two Sickles, or three or four Sickles.

  Ron, who had the best relationship with him, didn’t borrow much money. Instead, several girls from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw borrowed quite a lot. Harry didn’t take the money seriously and had no intention of asking for it back. Besides, the girls always shared the sweets they bought with him, so how could he bring himself to ask them for money?

  However, Ron’s family situation still gave Harry a small sense of crisis. Though it was only a slight feeling, Harry occasionally wondered how he could make some extra money.

  The twins' cooperative venture could be seen as a pillow sent when you're sleepy.

  Harry had great confidence in the twins' creativity and practical abilities.

  The bracelets on their wrists, the small box where Ron kept his wizarding cards, and the small pouch where Harry kept his gold coins were all made by the twins. Both their appearance and quality were excellent.

  However, the two were obsessed with prank items, which left Harry a bit conflicted. Would such things be easy to sell?

  In fact, the fine toys at Zonko’s Joke Shop were nearly always out of stock, so it seemed that small toys should be easy to sell. But Harry, who had lived in the Muggle world for ten years, had other thoughts.

  It was precisely because of industry giants like Zonko’s that this business might not be easy to break into.

  Unless, after completing the research, the technology could be sold to Zonko’s. It was like selling patents in the Muggle world. Although Harry didn’t understand much about this, he had heard a few things from Uncle Vernon. The reason his company managed to outlast many similar businesses and now dominated half of Europe was because it held several important patents.

  Are there patents in the wizarding world?

  It seemed so!

  Otherwise, the Potter Family wouldn’t be making so much money. Thinking of this, Harry had a bit more faith in the two brothers. But at the same time, he still considered other ways to make money.

  When it came to earning money, Harry certainly didn’t know how to go about it. He had no idea whether it was in the wizarding world or the Muggle world.

  However, when his thoughts turned to the idea of separating the wizarding world from the Muggle world, his mind suddenly opened up.

  According to Harry’s first idea, the best way would definitely be to sell magical potions to Muggle hospitals and patients.

  Many potions that are common in the wizarding world are incredibly magical in the Muggle world. Forgetting the distant past, even a potion that could regenerate a severed arm with a bottle of bitter soup would be enough to make countless factories and hospitals beg and pay for it.

  Harry could easily imagine how those with money and need would react if a potion that could regenerate limbs showed its effects.

  With this idea in mind, Harry continued studying in the early days after returning home, but soon gave up because of the many difficulties.

  Firstly, as a first-year student, although Harry’s magical power and mental strength were probably stronger than those of his classmates and even stronger than some second-years, his knowledge of magic was still at a very elementary level.

  In terms of knowledge, Harry didn’t think he could surpass the Ravenclaws in his year.

  In this situation, he was completely incapable of obtaining the potion that could regenerate severed limbs or cure various diseases that were incurable in the Muggle world.

  Even if he could, it seemed that there were some laws and regulations in the wizarding world that restricted the flow of potions to the Muggle world.

  Even if Harry found someone to make the potion, he could sell it secretly without being caught. But then what?

  In the Muggle world, practically no one uses real gold and silver for transactions, and in the wizarding world, pounds weren’t accepted.

  Although Gringotts offers a currency exchange service, it’s a special policy designed to Muggle-born students at Hogwarts, and the amount that can be exchanged is very limited.

  Think about it, what use would wizards have for Muggle money? Wizards don’t need things from the Muggle world.

  Harry would definitely spend most of his time in the wizarding world in the future. While there was no harm in obtaining some Muggle currency, it wasn’t worth expending much effort on it.

  However, despite all the restrictions, Harry still thought of a solution. It wasn’t very mature, but at first glance, it seemed feasible.

  He would use some Muggle technology to create things for the wizarding world and then sell them to wizards.

  Harry’s idea was still to make potions, but he would use mechanical equipment to produce them on an assembly line.

  With that in mind, I must say there is a reason Harry doesn't like Snape. Snape acts as if he is extremely important all day, and it makes Harry uncomfortable just watching him.

  It’s worth mentioning here that during the last two days of classes, Harry secretly used his magical sense to observe Snape once again.

  The magical flames on Snape’s body were indeed black, and his spiritual soul projection was indeed black as well, but it was much smaller than the one Harry had seen that day during the Quidditch match.

  Compared to Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, Snape’s flames were slightly smaller.

  As for why Harry felt that Snape’s magical flame was particularly large that day, he had also thought about the reason. Professor Quirrell had been sitting behind Snape on that day. What Harry had seen at that moment were, in fact, the magical flames of both people overlapping, which is why it seemed particularly large.

  This discovery immediately lifted Harry’s depressed mood, which had lasted for half of the school year.

  On the other hand, if Harry really managed to build a potion production line, he could then send large quantities of goods directly. Snape’s greatest achievement was being the youngest Potions Master, right? Harry wanted those potions to be sold at bargain prices!

  Best of all, it would leave Snape unemployed!

  But Harry knew that this was just an illusion.

  Harry didn’t even know how to brew high-level potions, let alone modify mechanical equipment for mass production.

  All he could make were the most basic potions.

  There were only five types of potions that Harry planned to make, four of which were the most basic: common antidote, blood tonic, bruise removal potion, and burn salve. There was also a slightly more advanced potion, the Dreamless Sleep Potion.

  The four basic potions were undoubtedly the most commonly used potions in the magical world. After all, in the wizarding world, there is a high chance of encountering all sorts of strange things, and magic that causes negative states requires a high level of magical control, which many adult wizards can’t master very well.

  At times like these, these basic potions are very useful.

  Harry studied the costs and inquired about the market prices, and it definitely seemed like a huge profit. Of course, this is without considering the cost of potion failure. For example, if Harry were asked to brew this potion and succeeded only one time in ten, the profit would be negligible.

  As for the Dreamless Sleep Potion, although it’s a little more advanced, it’s not too difficult to brew, and the ingredients aren’t rare. As for its effect, Harry thought it was just average. This potion is great as a sleeping pill and might be sold to Muggles.

  But pricing it isn’t easy. If it’s too high, it won’t sell. If it’s too low, there won’t be any profit.

  Additionally, this is only feasible in theory. Harry didn’t have a particularly clear plan for how to actually make this happen. It could only be considered an idea for now.

  Of course, if Harry’s idea were really feasible, It might actually be possible to turn Muggle mechanical equipment into an assembly line to process potions, and if the twins’ joke products could be successfully designed, then there might be a possibility of cooperation between the two. However, whether this would be possible would depend on what kind of return the twins could give him for the 200 Galleons this summer.

  Closing the book, Harry shook his head in dizziness.

  The idea seemed a little unlikely, but if everything could really be carried out, then there would be another problem facing him.

  Where would he get Muggle machines?

  "Hmm, maybe from the recycling center?" Harry thought about it and felt it was unlikely.

  "I don’t know if my uncle’s company has any."

  Harry’s eyes lit up, and suddenly, he felt that this might actually be possible. When he came back from vacation, he seemed to have been talking with his uncle about updating the production line.

  If the production line is updated, maybe some old equipment would be eliminated. Harry wondered if they could be modified and used in his plan.

  "Well, if it’s feasible, how would I buy these machines?"

  Harry had some Galleons, and he believed gold still had purchasing power. But Harry didn’t have a clear idea of how much this would cost. If it were a lot, it seemed a little difficult to part with them.

  Harry was a bit confused.

  While Harry was thinking about how to make money, he had no idea that a pair of eyes was watching him from a great height.

  "The new lamb, looks quite interesting." The voice, whispering in the air, murmured, its tone filled with delight.
