Hogwarts Reading Days

"Why does it sound like I'm killing people?"

After coming out of the principal's office, Albert stopped, looked back at the closed wooden door behind him, and couldn't help complaining.

Albert is actually quite repulsive about killing people.

As for those unlucky people who were killed by Scrimgeour, they can't be blamed on Albert at all. At most, he just reminded Scrimgeour that it was the court of the Ministry of Magic who finally sentenced them to death.

What's the matter with him?

After leaving the principal's office, Albert went directly to the nearby Room of Requirement, and when he reappeared in Hogsmeade Village, he had already put on a new vest.

It is inappropriate to meet Zuko as Albert, and it will easily cause other troubles, so he is now wearing Lee Jordan's vest, which is why Albert did not let Lee Jordan go to Hogsmeade with him. reason.

Hogsmeade Village was a bit deserted in the early morning. When he came over, the shops on the side of the road had just opened. Albert stopped in front of Zuko's shop, stretched out his hand and pushed open the red wooden door and walked in.

"You came on time."

Zuko managed to squeeze out a smile to greet the person coming, but when he saw the person coming in, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

"Is there a problem?" Albert asked back.

"I thought..." Zuko said in an uncertain tone: "The Weasley twins told me that it was the famous Mr. Albert Anderson who came to talk to me."

"Oh, you mean Albert!" Albert said in a rather helpless tone, "After that guy got married a while ago, he took his new wife on a trip, and he didn't know where he was playing. Now I will be in charge of dealing with this matter with you."

"This……"

"Okay, take a look at this contract first. We'll talk about it later if you have any questions." After Albert handed a parchment to Zuko behind the counter, he began to walk around the store, observing the situation in the store. inventory of goods.

"I think the profit commission you gave is too low." Zoko frowned slightly and complained: "Besides, the products in this store are still..."

"Don't worry, keep looking down, there are several plans below, you can choose one of them." Albert reminded kindly: "Also, your products here are not very easy to sell, if you can't sell them, the products The value is not as high as you think, it is impossible for us to spend a lot of money to buy these batches, and it is very likely that they will not be sold, and some of the products here can only be used as shop gifts in the end, and given to the students who purchased the products.”

"Of course, you can also choose the option with the lowest commission, so that the Galleons you originally sold in the store will still belong to you, and we will also buy the store, but you can only have a good salary and 5.00% Lower commission."

"If you want to cooperate with us for a long time, I suggest you choose the former. It is actually Albert's sincerity in inviting you to join us. I remember that it was specifically mentioned on the parchment."

"Sincere?"

Zuko obviously didn't believe this nonsense, he didn't see the so-called sincerity of the other party.

"I choose the lowest commission."

"Are you sure? Don't think about it again?" Albert raised his eyebrows slightly, "The shop in Diagon Alley will be temporarily closed in the near future, and the owl mail order will go to your side. Are you sure you don't choose the one with high profit? Maybe by then ..."

"No, I think the latter one is more suitable for me." Zuko interrupted.

"That's really regrettable." Albert nodded and said, "There is one more thing. You need to work for us for three years. If you break the contract, you need to pay a break fee of 5.00 Galleons. After you accept the employment, It will not be difficult for your salary to be less than eighty galleons per month, plus a [-]% profit commission."

"If you think there is no problem, please sign your name and date on the last piece of parchment to confirm that this is indeed your wish. I must remind you that this is a magical contract, valid for three years, if If you are willing to stay at that time, you can renew your contract.”

"No problem, that's it!"

Zuko took out a quill from nowhere, signed his name several times on the last piece of parchment, handed the contract to Albert, and suggested with a smile, "By the way , would you like a glass of whiskey? To celebrate our happy cooperation."

"A glass of butter beer. I have to work later, so it's not difficult to get drunk." Albert politely declined.

"Butterbeer? Wait a minute, I remember there's a barrel in there."

Zuko turned and went into the warehouse to get the butterbeer, completely oblivious to Albert quietly raising his wand behind his back.

"Here, I wish us a happy cooperation."

As he spoke, he took out a small wine barrel, poured two glasses of butter beer from it, and handed one of them to Albert.

The two raised their wine glasses, touched each other lightly, and drank the butter beer in one gulp.

"After a while, Fred and George will deliver the products you need, you have to spend some time to re-establish the store..." Albert shook his head lightly, fell to the ground and passed out as if he was drunk.

Zuko looked at the fainted guy expressionlessly, walked over and closed the shop's door and curtains, not forgetting to hang up the closed sign.

When he came back, a woman just came out of the store warehouse, looking at Lee Jordan who passed out on the ground with joy, "I let that damned guy escape, forget it, I believe it should be possible." Pry some useful information out of his mouth!"

"Come here and help him up. We need to interrogate him in another place. I think Bella will be very happy." Alecto Caro was quite satisfied with today's results, although he failed to catch the man named Albert Anderson A Mudblood, but it would be nice to capture his friends too, they could control him with the Imperius Curse to monitor the Mudblood's whereabouts, and even...

Before Alecto Caro could continue fantasizing, the whole person suddenly froze in place and couldn't move. Behind her, Zuko was pointing at her with his magic wand, and Albert had already drawn out his wand to point at the unlucky man. Bad guy please.

"Oh, it looks like I'm lucky." Albert didn't seem to drink the Potion of Living Hell at all, "Alecto Caro is actually a Death Eater."

A few minutes later, in the Shrieking Shack, Alecto Caro was walking up the stairs to the second floor.

"Failed?" Bella cast her gaze behind Carlo, frowning slightly.

"The Mudblood didn't go, but his friend, the black wizard named Lee Jordan. The other party was very cautious, and he wasn't fooled at all." Alecto Caro said rather helplessly: "However, he should also No doubt, we still have a chance."

"By the way, how are you doing?" He asked again.

"It has been successful."

"Next, what are you going to do? Do you have any plans? Those guys are very cautious, let's do a good job..."

"I'm going to control that mudblood friend first, we have to find out where that guy is hiding now." Bella said confidently, "It's not difficult, we can..."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. According to the latest information I have received, their shop in Diagon Alley seems to be temporarily closed, and those guys are planning to find a place to hide." Alecto Carlo reminded, "This is not good news. !"

After discovering that the plan she was proud of was useless at all, Bella slammed her fist on the wall in frustration, "We will always catch the opening, they can't hide forever,"
