14 - Training & Sales Pitch & Sales

Hogwarts Gryffindor Entrance

Theo Pov:

It was early in the morning I left the warmth of the common room to meet the 3 Gryffindor's at the front door of their common room.

There I waited for the time to arrive, the painting opened to show three tired students walk out.

I walked over to them with a small smile on my face. Hermione froze for a second then all her sleepy ness disappeared and she became active.

Harry was excited but sleepy and Ron he was.... well let's just say he in in another world.

Theo: "Hey guys, I hope you had a good sleep because you'll need it. Come let's get started."

I took them through the summoned door to the nice and warm common room. I took them to the balcony to wake up in the cold morning air.

The cold air woke Ron up straight away, after that we entered the training room to find Alexander practicing the sword by himself.

Ron: "wicked, when can we do that? I want get started right away!"

Theo: "you can start using a weapon when your body is ready to use a weapon"

Harry: "Umm what does that mean?"

Theo: "It means you start by increasing your endurance and stamina, then we move onto increasing your core strength and flexibility."

Theo: "So let's start with running" I smiled at Ron's look of dispensary and Harry's look of excitement, while Hermione had a determined expression.

They ran around on the track, even before finishing a lap they become exhausted and tired. After that I got them to do different types of exercise and pushed them close to their limits.

The two boys left for their rooms to sleep for the rest of the day I think. Hermione and I left for the Galad library where I will start teaching her some Elven.

Most of the I was teaching Hermione it was fun and she was paying close attention to what I said, she basically wrote down everything.

After the tutoring session we left for breakfast. Nothing happened at breakfast well except Peeves scaring a bunch of girls by putting spiders in their food and drinks.

Just to keep the annoying spirit away I chanted a small simple spirit repellent shield around my food.

After breakfast I went to get everything ready for my sales pitch, I went to my room where I found Tanwen sitting asleep on my bed. Starlight was sitting in the fire watching me.

Mia like always was hiding in my small cloak in my neck, acting as a necklace with her tails wrapped around my neck.

I got all my things ready for my pitch, as I left my room Starlight flew out of the fire and landed on my shoulder, she then rubbed her beak on my face lovingly.

Mia popped her head out of the cloak and greeted Starlight with happiness before hiding again.

I made my way out of the common room to find Professor McGonagall. As I was walking to Her office I walked into Draco Malfoy and his group.

Draco: "Look who we have here, the pointy eared freak." he, Crab and Goyle laughed while Pansy looked embarrassed but still laughed.

I just looked at them before continuing on my journey, Starlight looked at them before ignoring them. While Mia stuck her head out then growled at Draco's group causing them to back away from me.

As I turned the corner I could hear Draco.

Draco: "That freak needs to put the wild animal down, how dare he take that thing around with him. How dare he even walk around near us or even come to this school"

I could feel the hatred oozing off of Mia, I could tell that she wanted to teach them a lesson.

Although Tanwen, Starlight and Mia are thought of as magical beasts, they are infact Magical beings. Although they can not speak they can understand what people say or mean.

They are a extremely intelligent and understand many things, even magic. They can understand the bigger picture although they are young, I can also understand what they mean/say through the connection that I share.

They also have special magic unique to their race. So when I say Mia is unhappy she is unhappy.

As I got closer to Professor McGonagall's office I ran into someone that I did not want to even share a room with let alone by myself in a room or hallway with him.

Professor Quirrell was walking in my direction, I could tell that he had hidden intentions just by his eyes. I could feel every action he did was fake and throughout.

Just as he was about to speak to me there was a voice that stoped him.

Snape: "Ah Professor... Quirrell there you are I have been asked to tell you about the next class meeting."

I gave Professor Snape a thankful look before leaving, he just raised an eyebrow but I could tell he did this because he could tell how uncomfortable I was around Professor Quirrell.

I left in a hurry not stopping till I reached my destination. I knocked on the door and waited for a response. After I had gotten permission to enter I opened the door and walked in.

Professor McGonagall was sitting behind her desk checking home work, she looked up at me before smiling.

McGonagall: "Ah Theoden I is nice to see you today, what is it I can help you with?" She said as she put down the paper in her hands.

Theo: "I was wondering if you could take me to the Headmaster's office Professor"

McGonagall: "I am happy to take you to see the Headmaster, come along now"

She took me up the stairs till we reached the gargoyle that hide the stairs to the office, the password funny enough was super sherbet.

She said that I could go up and see him, she left saying she had other things to do. After climbing up the stairs I knocked on the wooden door and waited for a response.

I entered to find Headmaster Dumbledore walking back and forth, he looked at me before smiling.

Dumbledore: "Now what is it I can help you with young Theo?"

Theo: "Headmaster I wanted to talk to you and get your permission for somethings" I said then put my bag on the desk.

Starlight flew from my shoulder to land next to Fawkes Dumbledore's Phoenix, Dumbledore watched with interest as Starlight.

Starlight did not look like any Phoenix of this world, She looked like a bird made of complete flame in a solid form. Where Fawkes looked like a bird with red, gold, orange and yellow feathers.

Dumbledore had an amazed face as he watched Fawkes and Starlight sit together, comparing them. You could tell straight away that Starlight was of a higher life level than Fawkes.

As the Headmaster came out of his amazement he looked back over to me.

Dumbledore: "Very beautiful phoenix, now what is it you would like to talk about. And you can call me Professor, I am a teacher after all."

He said sitting down on his chair behind the desk.

Theo: "Well Professor I asked you right before I came to Hogwarts if I was allowed to sell anything. Today I came to get your permission on the different things I wish to sell"

I said as I pulled out different items from my bag. The first item was a potion in a small glass tube, it was a light see through blue.

Theo: "This here is a Memory Potion, it lasts for 3 hours during that till it increases your memory, comprehension and focus. You can only take one a day, it is most efficient and useful during exams"

He looked interested and intrigued at the potion.

I pulled out the next item, this one was a small round container. It was anti-aging cream that I had given to Professor McGonagall.

Theo: "This is a Anti-aging cream it helps to make skin younger and eliminates the effects of aging. This item is going to be very popular among female students."

Dumbledore: "Ah yes I can see the appeal"

Theo: "I actually have a wide array of different skin and health care products from skin, hair and more"

Dumbledore: "Now that is some very interesting items you have here, I was just wondering why have you come to me?"

Theo: "Well Professor you see after I had made enough money I plan to open a store in Diagon Alley I need to start by making some money before I can does this. And I have come here for your permission to plant some trees around the school grounds"

Dumbledore: "And why would you want to plant trees?"

Theo: "Well you see these trees are guardian trees, these trees will help create a better atmosphere and help in purifying evil and negative emotions. What I ask is for you is to stop people from taking their fruit and harming them"

Dumbledore: "Why would you want people not to touch the fruit?"

Theo: "Well the trees contain powerful magic and if you pick the fruits without the trees permission then.... let's just say you will find that you are no longer available to enter their area of protection."

Dumbledore: "Very well if you have any ways to stop people outside of school rules you will be allowed, within reason of course."

After getting permission from the headmaster I left with Starlight and Mia, I then started to think about how I would sell my products.

I came to the decision to hire the to Weasley twins to take care of selling to students where I would sell to the teachers.

I made my way to find the two pranksters, after walking around the castle for a while I happened to chance upon them.

I greeted them with a happy smile.

Twins: "Oh if it isn't our - young Elven prince - yes what has happened for you to grace us with your presence"

Theo: "Elven prince?" I raised an eyebrow

Twins: "Yeah you can be - considered a prince by all the - older girls they just - want to hug you - and pat your head"

Theo: "Umm o...k anyways would you two like to earn some good money?"

Twins: "Money, what kind of money/Money, what kind of money?"

Theo: "Well you see I plan to start selling somethings to the students and teachers so I thought who would do the job well and I could not think of anyone else in Hogwarts who were better suited for the job other than you two"

Twins: "Well that is very tempting offer, what do you think Fred - I think we should take it Gorge - we're in/we're in"

Theo: "Ok so this is what we're going to do"

We sat down and started to talk and plan the best way to advertise to the students, till we finally came to a decision.

The next day when all the students made their way to breakfast they found a table at the front of the Great Hall, the twins were standing behind it wearing suits.

Twins: "Come down and come around - we have the best things for any young witch or wizard here - from helping you get better results on your o.w.l.s or Newts - or potions to enhance your beauty - to books with notes and information to give you advantage over the rest - and other amazing things that can change your life for the better - we have it all here/we have it all here - so come down and look around - for you might found - will change you mind"

It was an instant hit especially among the ladies, the orders were coming in fast. Luckily it does not take me long to make and I had been prepared for some time now.

After a few days the sales did not decrease but the opposite we were getting more orders. Especially after their mothers found out about the health care items I was selling.

I smiled at the prophet I was making, with this money I could start to get some rare items for rituals, magic formations, Enchanting, potions and Alchemy.

In a few days it was the first Quidditch Game of the year, Gryffindor was Slytherin. It was Harry's first game, he was very nervous. It was starting to get very cold almost snowing cold.

Harry had borrowed a book about Quidditch from the school's library. Right now we were sitting together while Harry read the book.

I had conjured a small golden flame, it was given off heat but if you touched the flame it would not burn you. This light Flame is a area warming spell, you could change the level of warmth it sent into the surroundings. However it could not burn anything, so it was nice to hold in your hands.

While Harry, Ron and Hermione was warming up by the flame, I was being kept warm by Starlight. Alexander on the other hand was using a similar spell to the flame.

As we sat there Professor Snape came up to us, he looked at me before looking at the others till his eyes fell on Harry.

Snape: "Mr. Potter you will not learn how to fly a broomstick from a book I would suggest you go out and ride a broomstick instead" he then walked away

Harry and Ron had a shocked expression on their faces, they could not believe that Snape the cold biased old bat had not been rude to them.

I just had a small smile on my lips at how Professor Snape had acted before shaking my head and getting back to the Elven book about Elven spells I was reading.

The Twins had an idea and asked if I could do it for the match I told them I would be more than happy to do it, infact I planned to do it even better.

The End
