I was reading today's Daily Prophet:

November 1, 1981

Attack at Godric's Hollow

So it really happened. That sociopath is out of the game for now.

"So, Alfred, how was it?"

"Potters are dead, and their kid is disappeared, probably the work of that Barney. He might hided him. As for the Longbottom couple, they are in vegetable state. The culprits were caught by the Aurors. But we caught the ones that kills your parents and my daughter" the last part was said in a vicious tone

I tried to alert the Longbottom, but I couldn't find them

"Good, we only need to make sure that they will be alive (only hell is waiting for them. Gorgon is only the first step). We can't attack the remaining Death Eater to not cause another war. And Dubles might interfere. But killing one of them is not much. So, we will kick that Malfoy out of our way"

"Should we kill his wife and son?"

"No, I'm against it. For our research, love can do an unexpected impact. I'm inclined to think that our survival is thanks to that. My father and/or your daughter might have done something"

Alfred agreed "Wait, Young Master, are you saying that the survival of Potter's kid is due to a kind of unexpected magic or a type of ritual?"

"The probability is high. I can't imagine how a kid could stop a killing spell (and for the books, Harry has more luck than power – or brain)."

"Maybe a sacrificial ritual … I did learn some in that line" murmured Alfred

"Well, doesn't really matter for now." I changed the subject "There is nothing more stopping us to go back to Britain. We can buy every single store that the desperate Death Eaters needs to sell (they need a lot of money for bribes). And we should enter stronger with all our companies. Tell the CEOs and Greengrass that we will all out!"

Alfred nodded

"And, with the end of Britain's civil war, we can now faster the galleon flow. ICW will be well operating again"

The wizard's economic is more complex that I thought about it. Gringots can only produce more galleons if the Ministry approves it (there are many contracts and oaths to prevent the goblins doing it sneakily), and the Ministry can only approves if he contracts a government debt (galleons as asset and debts as liabilities). But, the debt can only be made with the ICW's acceptance. The court will audit if the Ministry will have enough tax to pay the debt in the future, and if the country is producing the same value in goods (not doing some creative accountability). Thus, with the many goods that my companies are producing now, it will pass easily.

Dionisu's, Aphrodite and HepH are solid in the market. They are dominating France in their respective sector. News players are trying to enter, but they are outdone easily. Not only is hard to compete against our quality and price, I also put a prohibitive price in newspaper ads (my CEOs don't know if they smile or cry. They are benefiting with this, but it's me who is profiting the most). Now, my Hermes (HC) doesn't have a red result anymore, but not a gain either (Magic Cellphone's project is still in the late phase. The project burned hundreds thousands of galleon each year).

Will of A has now 130 wizards, half of them been as good as an Auror. But only 40 we can count in any case scenario (Alfred gained their loyalty, some are in H.A.D.E.S too). About H.A.D.E.S, it was not hard as we expected to convince Cornillac. Alfred only needed to point the Dumbledore's case. Sometimes, doing only the light and right things, only leads to good people death. Furthermore, despite we lose some power and secrecy because of the disclosing to the Order, H.A.D.E.S becomes stronger. Delacour and Lefevre added their little trusted people (Veela can really be scary while extracting information or inducing someone – it's a way to not need Imperius curse) and H.A.D.E.S high cost is supported by Order now (i have more hundreds thousands galleons to invest in others projects now).

Finally, the one that raise the most is Apollo. France has 10 professional quidditch teams, and in last year tournament, the first and the second places were using Apollo 11 (only 3 players each – not the entire team). Quiberon was only 3th (Quiberon is the one that won the most in the past). And this happened in others leagues too. Apollo 11 "won" an incredible ten different quidditch's league. And I won a great sum gabling in them (people didn't thought that would be so 'game changer' the broom. Unfortunately, this huge sum is one times only, as the gabling will lower the outcome – and I almost broke some of them)

As I anticipate, Apollo becomes a hot topic between the fans. Despite Apolo 5 been similar with Comet 260, he overwhelmed his competitor in the selling. A new leader is in the area.
