Chapter 95: One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

"Yes, I remember him from my time in Hogwarts." Andromeda said as she sipped on a tea "He was a bright student. One of the top ones in our class. Our teacher used to call him a charms prodigy. But before he could graduate, he made a big mistake."

"And what would that be?" Harry asked curiously.

"A mistake that a lot of Muggleborns make." She replied "He pissed off a few Slytherin boys that belonged to the pureblood families."

"Why am I not surprised." Harry said with a sad smile "Let me guess what happens next. He doesn't gets a job in the ministry. And doesn't get the license to open a shop in Diagon Alley either."

"Yes. That's exactly what happened. Except that the pureblood bigots went ahead and botched up his exams so he couldn't even get a Master's degree in Ancient Runes."

"Wait! Wasn't the Master's degree supposed to be given by the ICW. I heard that even the examiner is sent by those people."

"It does. But who ever said that the ICW was corruption free." She said with a chuckle and he frowned for a moment before he schooled his expression once again.

The Harry Potter movie doesn't show anything about the ICW. So he had no idea if the ICW was corruption free or not and had foolishly assumed that it was not.

Now he knew better. And he would not make the mistake of assuming something like this before getting the proper facts ever again.

"So he didn't get his Masters degree?" he asked and she nodded.

"Unfortunately he didn't. And without such a degree very few people showed any interest in hiring him. The goblins even outright refused to allow him to take an interview."

"I see." He said.

"It's sad. And despicable. I know. But it is what it is. The magical government is full of corruption and I don't think that will change anytime soon."

A long silence fell between the two of them before he asked "Do you know what he's doing these days?"

She shrugged and replied "The last I heard of him, he was doing a part time job as a salesman in the muggle world. He had three kids and a muggle wife was is a shopkeeper." She said "A good story if you ask me. Most of the muggleborn that piss of Powerful people in the Ministry don't get such a peaceful ending.

"He might be living an unsatisfactory life but he's alive and is able to afford food for his kids. A lot of people are not even that lucky." She said "If you ever go to a Werewolf community, you'll notice what it means to live a miserable life. Those people are truly unlucky to be born in such a bigoted country.

" Once you become a werewolf, they'll stamp that seal over all of your certificates. After that your chances of getting a job in the wizarding world are close to nil. But the magical society cannot allow them to join the muggle world either because of their status as XXXXX class creatures. They're truly stuck between both the worlds. Getting nothing but scorn from everyone else."

"And people wonder why newly bitten Werewolves never register themselves in the Ministry." She said and took another sip of the tea while he started thinking about the situation in front of himself.

"The Rune Prodigy. What was his name again?" he asked.

"Selvin." She replied before giving him a shrewd glance "Why? You interested in giving him a job in

this new company of yours."

"Yes." He replied "Are there more people in our community like him?"

"Are you serious. Harry, there is a whole separate community of people like him in the Wizarding World. People who are rejects of the magical world. Quite a few of them choose to leave the country in order to search for better prospects in other magical communities rather then go back to the muggle world. However, most of them stay because of their family and the fact that they know that the other magical communities are not that good either."

"I see." He said and tried to hide the smile that was threatening to break out of his face.

Truly, one man's trash is another man's treasure.

These people who've been rejected by the Magical community and are treated like trash will become the base of his company.

And not only that but these people will also be fiercely loyal to him because of the chance he'll give them.

This situation couldn't have been better for him.

"Can you give me a way to contact these people?" he asked and she gave him a nod in return.

"I'll ask my husband about it." She said and got up from the chair and left the room.

And in the silence that ensued, Harry allowed a feral grin to cross his face.

Truly, it was as if even the heavens were on his side this time.

And he would make sure to make the best out of the opportunities provided to him by the world.

—————

Harry looked at the newly created Magical Phone in his hand.

After the initial euphoria of creating a new phone wore off, they started trying to find the flaws and faults in the prototype.

And suffice to say, he and Hermione were able to find more than a dozen problems or as people in the past life liked to call it, they found more than a dozen bugs in the Prototype.

And they had spent the past two weeks working on the bugs and improving the Prototype and this newly created Magical Phone was a result of their hard work.

He had no doubt in his mind that if he and Hermione tried very hard, then they would able to find a few more bugs in this one as well.

And that was exactly what they were going to do now.

After all, he couldn't simply sell faulty merchandise to the customers. Especially when he was going to attach his own brand to it.

Thus they would go through this process a few more times till the end of the year before they decided that the Magical Phone was ready to be launched among the masses.

Thankfully, the new changes and corrections did not require a lot of change so Penelope was not as over worked as she was during the initial stage of the creation of this product and was able to give some more time to her OWLs.

But despite the new corrections made in his inventions, he was not satisfied with his product anymore.

Yes, it was now working better than the prototype did, but in the end, the only thing that the Magical Phone could be used for was to video call another person.

And was getting rather bored of this project at this point.

Not that he would discard the project or anything. Hermione would have his hide if he even thought about such a thing.

But now he wanted to add new features to the product.

And as he looked at the three damaged pensives kept in the table in front of him, he smiled at the sensation that this new function would cause.

Provided that he did succeeded in completing the project.

The failure he had received so far in trying to attain a mage sight for himself (like Selena) made him realize that he might be a genius but even he had his limits.

And this new project of his would definitely be a very good test for those limits.

He could feel his books shaking in anticipation as he kept the Magical Phone back in his pocket and dove at the Pensieves in order to study the magic that created them.
