Chapter 7: The Spello Tape



Harry and Ron closed the door to the 5th year boys' common room, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Ron, now that our illicit, illegal, illegitimate drug exploits have been divulged and exposed, we are in severe lack of a quick money scheme so I can continue forking the cash over to Cho so she'll sleep with me." Harry said, frustrated.
"Don't worry, Harry." said Ron. "My brother, Percy, has some connections. Let's go visit him right now!"
They both flew off to the Ministry of Magic.

"AAH! Harry! Ron! What the f#$% are you doing here?" Percy yelled, hurriedly putting on his clothes and switching off the "Witches gone wild" tape.
"Percy! Can you get us a quick cash deal?" asked Ron.
"Well," said Percy, "You have just interrupted some very important Ministry of Magic activities, but if you leave for a few minutes, I'll forgive you and help you out."
Ron and Harry stepped outside Percy's office for several minutes, in which they heard some strange noises coming from inside it. Percy came out after a while. "Alright, you two. I have found a very easy job that pays incredibly well. You can do it at school, too. Here's what you need." He handed them a big box. "You will make great money selling wand repair supplies to fellow students."
"But Percy," said Ron, "Not that many people have broken wands at any given time."
"I will teach you a wand-breaker spell that will break all wands within 100 meters of you." Percy took out his wand. "Breakus allus wandsus withinus ahundredus meterus ofus usus nowus!" he spoke the incantation, and Harry and Ron's wands both exploded, along with Percy's.
"Now what?" asked Harry, looking at his broken wand.
Percy pointed to the box. "I forgot to mention that it breaks your wand too. But there's plenty of Spell-O-tape to go around!"
