"How is it going for private teachers for me?" I ask.
"We have found a couple madame marchbanks who usually oversees O.W.l's and was a transfiguration teacher for the longest time at hogwarts has agreed to the contract. She has signed up to be your transfiguration, potions and Defense against the dark arts teacher. She has agreed to an oath of silence since you made her a very very generous offer. As for your other teacher for dueling and fighting we have a recently retired professional duelist Filius Flitwick he will also be teaching you charms. For your history of magic and astronomy we have Dorea Potter formerly Dorea Black." He says passing me over the signed contracts.
"Ask them if I double the pay if they would be willing to teach one other I'm sure Dorea would be willing to teach Bella so you can let her know who it is." I tell him.
He starts writing down and sending out messages as I speak before quickly sending them off.
I read over the contract and they can't tell anyone who they taught unless I let them. It's quite solid. Goblins are very good at contracts. The price was very hefty though.
"Your master in goblin combat will be master Sharpspike and your stealth trainer will be unnamed as he is still an active spy for us." Ragnok says passing me two more papers. "All your tutoring will be done here at the bank in special rooms. Since you obviously don't want more people coming to your house." He says.
"That's perfect. When are they beginning?" I ask him. "Monday starting next week. This will also give you a bit of time to adjust to whatever changes the rituals you'll be doing tomorrow will have."
"Perfect as I have nothing to really do." I say leaning back in the chair. Soon the replies from all three are back and they accepted. I new contract is written up and the prices changed and sent off to be signed. I send off a message to Arcturus letting him know of the situation as well. He sends me back his thanks and tell me Bella will indeed be there.
The rest of the afternoon was just spent going over paperwork for patents and my new store designs.
The goblins will make sure all the store has high grade ward stones since I don't want death eaters blowing my stuff up. I haven't heard too much about them as I think old Voldemort is still out recruiting. The daily prophet reporting on him being a thief and the testimony from myself and Ragnok made it hard for him who is now recognized as a half blood and a thief to get many supporters in the pure blood families.
Being the professionals that they are the daily prophet dig up everything they had on Tom Riddle including his orphanage days and his days at Hogwarts. He is wanted for questioning by ministry officials for the theft from a most noble and ancient family. I wonder how pissed he would be if he found out that loads of his plans were all destroyed by an 8 year old child. It was going to get much much worse for him.
After selecting locations for the shop I'd be using I was going to have the whole place redone. It was in the main alley right on the way towards Gringotts. A good location. Ragnok would also have some craftsmen working on the firebolts. He would market them as twice as good as any broom on the market and the price to match. It would cost a fortune for a fire bolt. But I'm sure some of the quidditch players must have them.
As for the clothing store all I had to do was make the designs which were all simple and then they could easily be made. Magic is a wonderful thing. I could even provide packs of shirts and jeans for the shop and make quite a bit of profit. Then we could have 'fancy' sets made for the idiots who want things made out of acromantula silk and designs. Of course jacking the price right on up. I would also be making dragon hide vests with pockets and jackets for men. Along with neat looking beautiful dresses for women. And the best part was I wouldn't have to do anything. It would all be run for me and prices set so that even the poor could afford things. I had no idea what prices were like at this point in time so it saved me a lot of hassle.
With the goblins working with me everything was done neat and quickly I had patents done by the end of the hour. Workers were already being interviewed to work at a shop the heir of Merlin was going to be opening. Word spread far and wide deliberately by the goblins that the hidden heir of Merlin was going to be starting a business.
Word also spread of a brand new broomstick created by me that was twice as good as the previous one and that I'd made a potion to help werewolves. Over the next few days my name would explode in the daily prophet. So to keep them on their toes I also would be releasing the cure for dragon pox. I had bought the recipe from the shop aswell and knew this was going to be great. Dragon pox killed lots of people back in the day because it was a magical disease with no cure. I had the patent for this bad boy as well.
But that all was a bit later on right now I'm just going to head home and get a good nights rest and make sure I'm ready for the rituals that will be going on tomorrow. I had to go in extra early to have things painted on me and I was not looking forward to it.
