Wow! Here's the new chapter!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After I finished talking to Nagrork, I left the meeting room, only to find Sharpfang at the door, who looked at me curiously before greeting me respectfully.
"Hello, warrior Night," he said with a small nod.
"Hello, manager Sharpfang," I said, also nodding my head.
"Sorry for the different service, I hope the matters you came to our bank to handle went well" Sharpfang said to me, while giving me a curious look.
"Oh yes, it went very well," I said with a sly smile, which made Sharpfang look at me curiously and cautiously, "But well, I'd love to talk to you, but I still have a lot to do, so i'll have to say goodbye. May your vaults overflow with the blood and tears of your enemies," I said, waving my hand at him.
I then turned around and started to leave the bench, leaving a thoughtful goblin behind.

[POV – Sharpfang]
I watched the young warrior Night's back as he walked out the bank's front door, and I couldn't help but think that every time he appears he gives me a feeling of being in the presence of a wild beast.
"Strange," I muttered, opening the door to the Night accounts meeting room only to find my disciple laughing happily while looking at nothing.
"Ahem" I cleared my throat to get his attention.
"Oh Master Sharpfang! Glad you're here, I've just struck an amazing deal with Mr. Night that has given me many advantages" Nagrork said, sitting up straight in his chair and placing some papers on his desk.
Hearing what Nagrork said and remembering the young Night's smile, I started to get a bad feeling.
I then took the contract papers and started reading, and with each new page I read more I began to understand why I had this feeling.
In the end, when I finished reading the contract I let out a weary sigh.
"For the first time I understand why they say greed is an issue, and apparently karma has come back to bite you in the ass," I said, earning a confused look from Nagrork.
"Who created the terms of this contract?" I asked.
"It was Mr. Night, but I also gave some suggestions and opinions" Nagrork answered me proudly, and I frowned.
"Did Mr. Night say anything about those…suggestions?"
"Hmm, yes, he talked about some things I could change and add to my suggestions so that I would have a bigger gain, and he also said more terms that would benefit me," he replied.
"And did you hear him?"
"Uhum"
...
...
...
"You do realize you've just been tricked by a child, right?" I then asked with a raised eyebrow.
"What?"
"He managed to get you to sign these papers, and they basically claim that you will manage these investments to the best of your ability exclusively, but what you haven't realized is that the profit you're going to receive is the same as what you would receive if you managed these investments on behalf of the bank, as is usually done" as soon as I finished speaking, Nagrork immediately grabbed the contracts off the table and started reading.
He then read the contract once, twice, three times, and in an attempt to see if what he was reading was not an illusion, he read the contract a fourth time.
When Nagrork finished rereading the contract he started looking in panic at the papers, as he tried to remember his conversation and agreement with Mr. Night, wanting to know at what point he started to be tricked by a wizard child.
"But... But... But..." Nagrork, after finally accepting that he had been tricked, started muttering catatonically, putting the papers back on the table as he stared into space with a blank face.
"Sigh, this is what happens when we let rookies do the work of an seasoned goblin" I sighed, looking at Nagrork with disappointment and pity, "But to be able to trick a goblin, even if it's just a trainee... Ethan Night, you once again proved that he deserves to be respected, hehehe" I laughed as I walked out of the meeting room with my hands behind my back.

[POV – Ethan]
-Out of the bank-
'Well, with the investment project finished, I can finally start my shopping' I thought, looking down the rather crowded alley, 'I think this time I'll start with my books... Although this is more me buying a few books that catch my eye than anything else, as I already have all my second-year books, obviously not counting Lockhart's written delusions'
'Okay, so let's get started'
Some... hours later
"Phew, I didn't take that long" I said to myself, putting the last book in my bag and looking at my bracelet which was in 'watch' mode, "I only took, hmm... 2 hours, and that's about half the time I normally spend at the bookstore"
"And I also only spent 79 Galleons, and that's not a lot compared to how much I usually spend on my trips to the alley," I muttered, not realizing how Malfoy I sounded.
...
...
'Wait... Now that I realized, I spend a lot of money no matter how much, but at the same time I make a lot of good investments. I like to always be three steps ahead in my plans with a lot of preparation to spare, and I have a place of my own to do my thing. And on top of that, I also go out in black to fight some 'bad guys' using my martial arts...
... Damn, I'm the Batman of this world!'
And again unconsciously my inner chuuni showed itself, and if anyone who reads comics knew what I just thought about, they would look at me strangely.
And somewhere in London my parents felt a little shiver and had a feeling it wouldn't be wise for them to go into some dark alley.
'Well, now that I've bought my books, I'll check out my other materials, and then I'll take a walk down the alley to see if I find anything interesting... And maybe I'll buy some ice cream from Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour to take home' I thought, walking to the nearest store.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-At night-
After my shopping in Diagon Alley, I went to a Muggle mall where I bought myself a few things, nothing too important.
However, as I was walking in the mall I came across a comic book store, and entering it I discovered that unlike the books I'm publishing, DC and Marvel comics exist in this world, and I started to wonder which others forms of entertainment exist in this life that existed in my past life.
I also started to wonder if I should start writing some new book, like Lord of the Rings or The Chronicles of Narnia, or even if I should write my own book, but that's a thought for the future.
After the mall I went back to my house, and now here I am in my room, reading some science books that might help me create some new spells.
I was thinking of creating some spell similar to Voldemort's Unsupported flight. This is a spell where the wizard can fly without needing a broom or any other form of support, and the wizard's body is covered in a dark mist when flying.
I know this spell, at least in the books, is known to only two people, with Riddle obviously being one of them and Snape being the other.
In the movies, almost all Death Eaters could use this spell, and even Order of the Phoenix members could use this form of flight, where their mist was a bright white light, but that's not important for now.
The important thing is that I intend to learn this spell, or create my own, until I create my ultimate teleportation spell.
With my investment project finished, I could finally focus a little on my studies and my spell creation, but while I was doing my thing, on the other side of London a lonely boy was having some difficulties...
End.

(End AN: How are you my dear readers?
As you know, I'm re-reading the Harry Potter books, and every page, chapter, and book I read makes me realize why I like this franchise so much.
That feeling of reading or watching something you're a fan of is indescribable.
And for the happiness of all fans of the saga, the third Fantastic Beasts movie is coming, just a few days away from the release.
Are you excited for the movie?
Hope you enjoyed the chapter!)
