"Good morning, Sean."
Hermione approached while carrying several thick books in her arms.
"Morning, Hermione."
Ever since the incident on the train yesterday, Hermione hadn't spoken to Sean properly.
But now she seemed completely normal again.
In fact, she looked strangely excited.
The moment she sat down opposite him, she lowered her voice mysteriously.
"Sean, did you read today's newspaper?"
"That story is incredible!"
Sean immediately brightened.
"Right? Insurance is an amazing business idea, isn't it?"
"Insurance?"
Hermione blinked in confusion.
"I'm talking about the story."
Her expression immediately became emotional again.
"That Auror was so tragic. He clearly loved his family so much…"
"But now that witch has to raise the child alone."
As she spoke, tears even began forming in her eyes.
Sean slowly froze.
"…Wait."
"That's the part you focused on?"
"Wasn't the point of the story supposed to be selling insurance?"
A terrible premonition suddenly rose inside him.
Hermione looked at him strangely.
"Of course the insurance itself sounds useful."
"But everyone's more concerned about what happens to the witch afterward."
Then she pointed around the Great Hall.
"Look."
Sean turned his head.
Sure enough—
Almost every student was discussing the tragic love story.
Especially the girls.
Several witches were openly crying while angrily cursing dark wizards.
"That poor woman…"
"How is she supposed to raise a child alone?"
"Those evil dark wizards are monsters!"
Sean suddenly realised something important.
The wizarding world barely had proper fiction literature.
Most magical books consisted of historical records, biographies, and painfully dry academic material.
These people could apparently read history textbooks for entertainment.
Naturally, a properly dramatic emotional story would completely overwhelm them.
At that moment, Sean suddenly felt heat on his palm.
Several glowing words slowly appeared.
Bathroom.
Sean immediately stood up.
"Where are you going, Boss?" Draco asked hurriedly.
"The toilet."
Sean glanced at him calmly.
"Want to follow me?"
Draco immediately shook his head violently.
Sean walked off alone.
The moment he entered the bathroom, he instantly spun around and pointed his wand behind him.
Only after recognising the figure there did he relax slightly.
"Hart."
"You really need to stop appearing behind people like that."
"If I hadn't controlled myself just now, you'd already be in pieces."
Hart calmly sealed the bathroom door with magic.
"It's difficult to believe you're only a first-year student, Young Master."
"Most adult wizards lack that level of awareness."
Sean ignored the flattery entirely.
Instead, he narrowed his eyes.
"I thought Hogwarts prevented Apparition."
Hart proudly lifted his chin.
"I'm a goblin."
"Racial talent."
Then his expression gradually became strange.
"I came because the results of your advertising campaign are… extraordinary."
"Gringotts was completely packed this morning."
Sean nodded calmly.
"And insurance sales?"
Hart's eyes instantly lit up.
"Unbelievable!"
"Hundreds of Aurors arrived before sunrise to purchase policies!"
"And nearly all of them bought full premium coverage!"
"The grading system you designed doubled our projected profits overnight!"
Hart became increasingly excited while speaking.
"Even wealthy wizarding families are now purchasing insurance for their magical pets!"
Sean quietly thought for several seconds before shaking his head.
"Not enough."
Hart froze.
"Not enough?!"
"I think we've already exceeded expectations!"
Sean calmly crossed his arms.
"Right now, people only know insurance exists."
"But many are still observing cautiously."
"We need proof."
"An actual case."
Hart's breathing immediately quickened.
Sean continued:
"When you return, contact reporters from the Daily Prophet."
"The moment an insurance claim occurs, document the entire process publicly."
"From the accident itself…"
"To Gringotts delivering compensation."
"Publish everything."
Hart trembled excitedly.
"Yes…"
"Yes!"
"If everyone sees insurance actually paying out successfully…"
"Then far more people will buy policies!"
"The yearly profits alone would become astronomical!"
Sean nodded calmly.
"Exactly."
Then he glanced toward the door.
"Alright. I have classes."
"You should leave too."
Hart immediately bowed respectfully before vanishing into darkness once again.
Sean opened the bathroom door and stepped outside.
Then he suddenly stopped.
Not far away, two Slytherin students stood facing two red-haired Gryffindors.
Around them, numerous students had already gathered to watch.
A fight between Gryffindor and Slytherin.
Classic Hogwarts entertainment.
"Looks like another house conflict."
"Ten Sickles says Slytherin wins."
"They've never lost a verbal fight before."
The surrounding students immediately began placing bets.
Meanwhile, the two Slytherins sneered coldly.
"Well, well."
"If it isn't the Weasley twins."
One of them looked Fred and George up and down mockingly.
"Honestly, your robes are even more pathetic than usual today."
"Did your family finally run out of fabric?"
