Entrepreneieral (or whatever) thingummy

[alt_gredforge]

We think we should go into business for ourselves when we leave school. Only: what sort of business?

The floor is open for your suggestions!

[alt_lee]

Well, it has to involve explosions.

[alt_gredforge]

Thanks! That narrows down the field considerably!

[alt_percy]

I'm sure that whatever it is, it will involve driving people crazy.

[alt_gredforge]

Oooo, career advice from our very own Big Head Boy! We're so touched!

[alt_percy]

Why don't you want to work for the Ministry? It suits all the rest of us very well.

[alt_gredforge]

Yeah, but we want to be our own bosses.

And that way, we get to keep all the money!

[alt_neville]

Well, what are your favourite subjects? What do you think you're best at, at school?

[alt_gredforge]

Charms, probably. We take after our dear old Mum that way.

[alt_luna]

You like Care of Magical Creatures too, don't you? Professor Brutka's mentioned you to me once or twice, when I've been helping clean cages.

[alt_gredforge]

Yeah, Brutka's brilliant. And Charlie's turned his prowess in COMC into a rather nice dragon handler career.

But we want a career where we can make money.

[alt_percy]

Because, of course, that's all that's important.

To you.

[alt_gredforge]

Oh, don't be an arse, Perce,

It's not the most important thing, maybe.

But it's right up there!

[alt_percy]

Any business the two of you put together would be nothing but a joke.

[alt_gredforge]

That's it!

Percy, you're brilliant!

[alt_lee]

Well I've never heard you say that before.

What are you talking?

[alt_gredforge]

We could sell stuff for jokes, of course! We could sell to Zonko's!

Maybe we could even set up our own shop! Give Zonko's some friendly competition.

Just think: fireworks, and prank wands, and stuff that's charmed, oh, loads of things.

[alt_lee]

You know, that's--that's not a half bad idea.

[alt_gredforge]

What are you talking about? It's brilliant! Even if it came from Percy!

Why don't you come over tomorrow, Lee, and we'll talk about it.

[alt_bill]

You know, it's always struck me that you two are quite good at doing research. You find some subject that fascinates you, and you tear through books and buttonhole anyone who knows the slightest bit about the subject, and then you master it and whip something out, some invention, that astounds everyone...and then you move on to something else. I don't think you'd be happy doing the same thing over and over again.

[alt_terry]

He's right. You are like that. You're dead smart, too.

You're also really good at cheering people up. You should do some kind of business where you laugh every day.

[alt_pansy]

Bill's right -- you two are brilliant, especially when it comes to charms and things, and I'm sure you could come up with something marvellous.
