Chapter 1
War ended almost six years ago but the Wizarding World is still coming together.
Hope does not run low in wizards and witches' hearts, it never did. They kept fighting even though some older and wiser citizens thought it'd be a waste of time. True, to many wizards and witches it was a waste, they lost their lifetime earnings attempting to build new companies from scratch. Although the economy was hard on those new businesses some (few) survived the first years and were now more or less stable.
Old money enterprises like those own by the Malfoy and the Zabini's families had no difficulties in surviving the first years after the war. It was like nothing happened to them. In fact they started to buy other little companies and expand their interests. Small business owners sold their companies to them so they'd not go bankrupt.
Those two companies above controlled basically the entire market. No one entered the economical world without their approval. That is…until Mystic came along.
Mystic was born in the Muggle world first six years ago, months after the Hogwarts final battle. It started as a small company.
Their major business being music, they still hold a little publisher on the side for fiction books but the company's interests expanded with time and nowadays it works as a writer, model and singer' agency and record company.
How did they do it? you ask.
Well, Mystic owns it mostly to one of their first star client. One of their protégées was their ticket to fame and wealth. No one really knows who she really is. Her face is always covered with a mask and she never did live shows or concerts. Not even her real name was known to the public or even the employees.
Her first single was a hit and she sold thousands of Cd's throughout Muggle Britain and later throughout Wizarding Britain.
Common employees swear they never saw her or worked on her music. It was all done by the Heads of the company. The truth was that when a new album was released, sells went high and crazy but after three years releasing new and improved music every few months, it stopped. Her albums and singles still sold like candy every month but it was starting to be less every month. People wanted new songs. It has been a year since she released a single or any records.
After their initial hit, Mystic was swamped with new singers who turned to this company in hopes of recording their songs and to be represented by them. Mystic's owner knew it was still early to represent wizards, so she started to work only in Muggle Britain without the Muggles realizing it was owned by a Witch.
It was after becoming one of the most prestigious companies in Muggle Britain that Mystic returned home: Diagon Alley.
So, three years after being born, Mystic appeared in the wizarding world in the figure of the owner's personal assistants and Heads of Departments, Ginevra Weasley (music) a beautiful redheaded woman, Hermione Granger (books) a curly, brown haired young witch and Pansy Parkinson (modelling) a blondish beauty. Three beautiful women, each with a different approach on life and business but nonetheless powerful and effective approaches, took the Wizarding World off its feet with a blooming empire of dreams and hopes.
No one knew who the owner was but as soon as Mystic started launching their clients into the wizarding market, the subject was forgotten.
At first everyone thought it was another small company to be eaten by one of the big companies but soon they discovered that this company was not a little fish but a Shark that entered the sea to win or at least struggle before giving in…
Mystic bought Books and Beauty shop from Lavender Brown, in which they sell most of their products and have one of the most prestigious beauty salons in Diagon Alley (ran by Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil) and bought La La La Records shop from Lee Jordan. Surprisingly Mystic kept every employee from the companies it bought. Growing in number as well as prestige, they now employs more or less thirty people by department, around seventy or eighty people only in its Wizarding office.
Its headquarters was placed in a very quiet street of Diagon Alley. It was just down Gringotts' left street. You would pass several apartments and turn again at the end of the street and there you were. An eight-floor, white and green building with Mystic written on the front glass door in fashionable emerald letters.
Our story begins in the company's sixth year. More exactly when Malfoy and Zabini's decide that Mystic could no longer be ignored.
It begins when Ginevra Weasley is twenty-two years old and a stunning business woman, Hermione Granger is twenty-three and practically living together with Ginny's brother, Ronald, and Pansy is twenty-three and having an on-off relationship with the famous saviour of the world, Harry Potter.
I have told you the basics. I shall tell you now a story of love, hate, war, dreams and hopes. The story of how the Wizarding World survived the wrath of two former enemies for they were fire and ice, they were Ginevra and Draco.
