Lawyers
Harry, disguised as Mason Blackwell, took a deep breath as he walked into the prestigious offices of " Blumm & Grop
," the renowned law firm in Zurich, Switzerland. The elegant building was nestled in the heart of the city, exuding an air of affluence and professionalism that befitted its reputation as a legal powerhouse.
The interior of the law firm was equally impressive. A lavish reception area welcomed visitors with polished marble floors, contemporary artwork, and plush leather couches. The walls were adorned with diplomas and certificates showcasing the expertise and experience of the firm's legal team.
As Harry approached the reception desk, he couldn't help but be impressed by the aura of competence that seemed to permeate the space. The receptionist, a poised and impeccably dressed woman, greeted him with a warm and courteous smile.
"Good day, sir," she said with a slight nod. "How may I assist you today?"
Harry, still disguised as Mason Blackwell, replied in a confident tone, "I have an appointment with one of your partners to discuss some legal matters."
The receptionist checked her schedule and, upon confirmation, directed him to an elevator that would take him to the appropriate floor.
As Harry exited the elevator, he was met with an impressive sight. The floor was bustling with activity, legal professionals moving with purpose and intent. Glass-walled offices lined the perimeter, each labeled with the name of a partner or associate. The law firm's logo, a striking emblem that blended modern design with a touch of tradition, was etched onto the glass doors.
Harry had come well-prepared. He had already signed a retainer contract with the firm, ensuring that all discussions would be bound by magical confidentiality oaths. This was essential, as the matters he needed to discuss spanned both the magical and muggle worlds.
After a brief wait in a comfortable sitting area, he was ushered into the office of Dr. Veronica Blum, one of the firm's esteemed partners. Her office was as impressive as the rest of the establishment, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing a breathtaking view of the city's skyline.
Dr. Blum, an experienced lawyer with an air of authority, greeted Harry with a firm handshake. "Mr. Blackwell, it's a pleasure to meet you. I understand that you have some legal matters you'd like to discuss."
Harry, maintaining his Mason Blackwell persona, nodded. "Indeed, Dr. Blum. I've been looking to establish a company here in Switzerland, one that operates in both the muggle and magical worlds. I understand that your firm specializes in international law, and I'm in need of guidance."
Dr. Blum leaned forward attentively, her demeanor professional yet approachable. "We are well-versed in the complexities of international law, especially in cases involving the overlap of magical and muggle jurisdictions. To start, we will assist you in the application process with the District Office in Zurich for the muggle side and the International Confederation of Wizards for the magical side."
Harry, still disguised as Mason Blackwell, felt relieved that he had sought the expertise of a firm that clearly understood the intricacies of his unique situation. He listened carefully as Dr. Blum outlined the steps required to establish his company in Switzerland, both in the muggle and magical spheres.
As the discussion continued, Harry couldn't help but be impressed by Dr. Blum's knowledge and the meticulous way she approached the legal intricacies involved in his endeavor. It was clear that he had made the right choice in engaging the services of " Blumm & Grop
."
In the elegant surroundings of the law firm's office, Harry, concealed behind the identity of Mason Blackwell, felt assured that he was taking the necessary steps to fulfill his ambitions and solidify his presence in both the magical and muggle worlds. The path to establishing his own company in Switzerland was laid before him, guided by the expertise of the legal professionals at " Blumm & Grop
."
With the assurance of professional assistance, he could now embark on this new and complex journey with confidence, knowing that his dreams of influence and prosperity were closer to realization than ever before.
"Blackwell Enterprises," Harry declared with confidence. "I envision it as a versatile corporation, actively engaged in a wide range of endeavors. It will be a company that operates seamlessly within the muggle world while also making its mark in the magical community."
Dr. Blum, the experienced lawyer from " Blumm & Grop
," maintained her professional demeanor, diligently taking notes as she probed for more information. "And could you specify the primary areas of focus for Blackwell Enterprises, Mr. Blackwell?"
Harry, maintaining his Mason Blackwell persona, leaned forward, a hint of excitement in his voice. "I intend for the company to be involved in various sectors, including technology, international trade, magical artifact procurement, and financial services. It will be a diversified entity with a global presence, bridging the gap between the muggle and magical realms."
Dr. Blum nodded, acknowledging his vision. "A commendable goal, Mr. Blackwell. With your ambitious plans, I foresee that Blackwell Enterprises will require both muggle and magical professionals to manage its operations. We will ensure that all necessary permits and registrations are in place to facilitate this duality."
As the conversation delved into the intricacies of the application process, Harry provided financial details and other required information. The financial structure of the company, which included a significant initial capital investment, was of paramount importance to ensure its success. The legal team at " Blumm & Grop" listened attentively, already formulating a strategy to navigate the complexities of establishing such a unique enterprise.
Dr. Blum addressed the specifics with precision. "To facilitate our preparations, we will require an initial deposit to cover various registration and legal fees. This sum will be held in a secure trust account until all necessary documentation has been completed and approved."
Harry, with the expertise of " Blumm & Grop" behind him, had full confidence in the legal process. "Certainly, Dr. Blum. Please let me know the required amount, and I will ensure it is promptly deposited."
Dr. Blum consulted her notes and quickly calculated the initial deposit. "We recommend an initial deposit of 8,500,000 British pounds. This will cover the administrative costs of both the muggle and magical registration processes, including any unforeseen expenses."
Harry, as Mason Blackwell, confirmed the amount without hesitation. "I will arrange for the deposit to be made at the earliest convenience. I appreciate your guidance, Dr. Blum. Your assistance in navigating the complexities of establishing Blackwell Enterprises is invaluable."
Dr. Blum smiled with professionalism and a touch of reassurance. "It has been a pleasure discussing this venture with you, Mr. Blackwell. We will commence the application process immediately. Our legal team will work diligently to ensure all formalities are met, both in the muggle and magical worlds."
Harry, the charismatic and visionary businessman, nodded in appreciation. "I look forward to the future success of Blackwell Enterprises. With the capable assistance of Blumm & Grop,' I have no doubt that this endeavor will flourish."
As the legal proceedings continued, Harry, still concealing his true identity, felt a sense of achievement and anticipation for the growth of Blackwell Enterprises. With the support of skilled professionals and a comprehensive strategy, he was one step closer to realizing his vision of an influential and versatile company operating on both sides of the magical and muggle realms.
Returing form Zurich
As Harry reclined in front of the crackling fire in Marshall Mansion, the warm embrace of the flames contrasting with the cold, calculated thoughts swirling in his mind, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. The future was a vast, uncharted territory, brimming with opportunities and challenges, and Harry Potter, or rather Mason Blackwell, intended to conquer it.
The concept of 'Blackwell Enterprises' had begun as an ambitious notion, a vision of bridging the gap between the muggle and magical worlds while reaping substantial profits. Now, as the foundation of his muggle business was being laid with the expert assistance of " Blumm & Grop," Harry had his sights set on expanding his reach and influence. But to achieve his goals, he knew he required a circle of skilled and loyal individuals.
As he savored his dinner, his thoughts drifted toward a potential solution. The name 'Burke' conjured up memories of the Burke family, particularly the grandeur of their mansion. The Burkes were known for their long-standing involvement in the trade of dark and rare magical artifacts. However, what truly piqued Harry's interest was the rumor about their hidden elf birthing house.
He recalled an old story about the Burkes keeping a secret facility within their mansion to house and possibly mistreat a large number of house-elves. It was said that they had hundreds of these creatures in stock, readily available to perform their bidding.
With Peter's extensive knowledge of the magical world, Harry had a relatively good idea of where the Burke mansion was located. To bolster his case, he had also created basilisk battle armor, a formidable piece of magical equipment that would not only provide him with an advantage but serve as a symbol of power and intimidation.
But before launching his mission to free the elves, Harry needed rest. He had made countless plans, engaged in intricate business dealings, and expanded his influence in both the muggle and magical worlds. It was a daunting task to be both Mason Blackwell, the cunning and ambitious businessman, and Harry Potter, the hero and protector of the magical realm.
As he ascended the grand staircase of Marshall Mansion to his bedroom, Harry's mind raced with thoughts of the coming day. His ambitions had no limits, and his commitment to righting the wrongs of the magical world remained steadfast. With the tranquil embrace of sleep, he temporarily cast aside his intricate plans and allowed himself to drift into dreams of conquest and redemption. Tomorrow was a new day, teeming with opportunities, and Harry, the indomitable wizard, was ready to face it head-on.
