The Necromancer of Hogwarts

Chapter 72 Getting through the Ministry of Magic

On this day, Mr. Weasley came to work at the Ministry of Magic. Not long after entering the entrance, he saw a group of people surrounding the bulletin board.

"Huh? Is there any notice?"

Mr. Weasley also walked over and patted a colleague he knew on the shoulder.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

"What's written on the bulletin board, why are they all gathered here?"

The colleague looked back with a happy expression.

"Arthur, we will have new benefits starting today."

“You know that catering takeout called Are You Hungry?”

Mr. Weasley was a little confused: "You know, it was Lucius and that squib kid who made takeout food together?"

The colleague nodded: "Yes, the bulletin board says that from now on, Hungry Are You will provide three free meals to all employees of the Ministry of Magic every day."

"Starting today, we don't have to bring food here. When it's meal time, if you're hungry, it will be delivered directly to us."

Mr. Weasley looked suspicious: "Is there such a good thing? There are quite a few of us. If we subsidize it like this, they will spend a lot of money."

The colleague laughed and said: "We call it everyone who takes what he needs. We can save money on meals, which is a lot of money throughout the year. With this money, you can go out and have fun. If you are hungry, you can get the money from our Ministry of Magic." Endorsement will definitely change the minds of those stubborn wizards.”

"The key is that they still have to pay their taxes."

"It has also given us benefits, paid no less taxes, and solved the job problem for the magic world. Don't tell me, this company is a conscience company that is rare in the magic world."

Seeing Mr. Weasley's hesitant expression, the colleague patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay, Arthur, don't think too much. Today we are going to try the Malfoy family's house elf craftsmanship. You can bring some back to the children to lighten Molly's burden.

She is a very powerful witch, and she should take some time out of her housework to do something more meaningful. "

Mr. Weasley originally didn't want to be hungry, but when he heard his colleagues talking about Mrs. Weasley, he sighed inwardly and felt guilty about Mrs. Weasley.

Mrs. Weasley was quite beautiful when she was at Hogwarts, and her academic performance was quite good.

In the original novel, she even defeated Bella Lestrange, a core member of the Death Eaters, in a duel.

You must know that Bella is not only the heir of an ancient family, she has also been with Voldemort and received his teachings. Even so, she was killed by Mrs. Weasley who had been busy with housework and had no interest in studying magic. This shows Mrs. Weasley's magical talent. .

Mr. Weasley felt soft when he thought about his wife's busy and difficult life over the years, and nodded with his colleagues.

"I know, thank you."

……

Due to this announcement, the atmosphere in the Ministry of Magic today was quite pleasant. Before it was time for lunch, everyone began to think about what to order.

The supervisors of departments at all levels didn't say anything. They all received a high-end menu and were busy selecting the dishes.

Because of the existence of magic, the ordering method of Are You Hungry is quite similar to the takeout app used by Xiang Yu in his previous life?

Everyone in the Ministry of Magic has been sent a magical menu, which vividly presents images of various dishes. Users can check the corresponding dishes by swiping their fingers on the menu.

The UI design of this menu was designed by Xiang Yu, and it almost completely copied the UI of a food delivery software in the previous life.

He originally just tentatively asked Lucius if he could use magic to make the menu a touch screen like this to provide instant feedback to the user's actions.

Xiang Yu thought it might be a bit difficult, but Lucius told him matter-of-factly that this was a very simple light and shadow magic. Although it is a bit unpopular, it is not difficult and easy to achieve.

Then in less than half a day, Lucius showed Xiang Yu a paper-based flexible foldable screen that had never appeared in his previous life. The resolution was much higher than 4k, and the response speed was almost without delay.

Just the quality of a piece of paper can give people extremely clear enjoyment.

Except for the shortcoming of being only black and white, all performance indicators are far higher than the best screens in previous generations.

"If the light and shadow magic in the magical world can produce colorful effects and be used on a display screen, there will be no rivals in the real world in a few decades..."

Xiang Yu made a note of this matter in his mind, and planned to wait for the logistics platform in the magic world to open up before advancing this matter.

That day, at lunch time, all the orders from the Ministry of Magic were confirmed, and order messages one after another appeared in a certain industry prepared by the Malfoy family for the Hungry Company.

The house elf who had been prepared quickly moved.

They combine magic with cooking skills, and one house elf is as efficient as five or six Muggle chefs.

Are you hungry? The company now has ten house elves, which is more efficient than the central kitchen of some Muggle hotels. Although the orders from the Ministry of Magic are large, they can still be handled.

The best ingredients are quickly turned into steaming delicacies in the hands of the house elves, and then packed into exquisite high-end lunch boxes. The aroma is overflowing and makes people want to eat.

Lunch boxes were delivered from the kitchen one by one, and the squibs previously placed by the Malfoy family were also quickly packing them into large boxes according to the order information.

Then they wore the food delivery clothes of Are you hungry, carried large lunch boxes one by one, and were transported to the entrance of the Ministry of Magic through the floo network that connected the Ministry of Magic and Are you hungry?

Beep, beep.

Less than ten minutes after Mr. Weasley finished ordering, the writing on the menu he had just ordered changed.

"Your food has been delivered. Please come and collect your food. This food delivery will be completed by Hungry.com staff xxx."

Mr. Weasley was surprised: "So fast?"

The other employees of the Ministry of Magic obviously did not expect that they would get their meals so quickly.

They simply walked out of the office and walked towards the designated place to pick up meals.

Before I even got there, bursts of aroma wafted over.

The rich aroma of meat, the fragrance of vegetables, the freshness of mushrooms and the special aroma of various high-grade spices are mixed together to form a taste that arouses people's appetite.

A dozen squibs stood in the food delivery area, calling the name of the order initiator and distributing the food to them.

"Be careful with your food."

The delivery boys' service was excellent, and the Ministry of Magic employees took their meals very politely.

"thanks, thanks."

They could see the dishes inside through the transparent lunch boxes. The excellent presentation and generous portions made their mouths salivate, and they couldn't help but quickly return to their offices to enjoy.

Some Ministry of Magic employees also made special requests when ordering food.

For example, Umbridge in the original book is a short and fat witch who looks like a toad and likes pink and bows. She specially made a note that she needs a pink lunch box, and the food must be topped with pink bow-shaped sauce.

Are you hungry? The service staff thoughtfully prepared a delicate lunch box with a bow for her. Inside, a bow and a heart were drawn with mayonnaise and salad dressing, and a sentence was written in the sauce: "Ms. Umbridge , may you always be young and lovely.”

Umbridge, who has always been annoying, was very satisfied with the meal and repeatedly praised Hungry for its good service.

Mr. Weasley also received his order.

He was quite surprised: "The portion is so big?"

It's said to be a dish for one person, but I'm afraid Mr. Arthur can't eat it by himself, so he can take half of it home.

There is also a bottle of table wine to accompany the meal in the box. It is also not cheap and of high quality. You can smell the attractive aroma when you pull the cork.

Mr. Weasley hesitated and did not eat the takeaway that was delivered to him.

He brought his own food today.

"Just keep these for the children to eat. They have never eaten them."

"Molly no longer has to be busy cooking and washing dishes. She can sit down and take a break and do something she likes more."

Mr. Weasley opened his lunch box and felt much lighter.

Life is getting better and better.

In other separate offices, the department heads of the Ministry of Magic do not need to move. There are dedicated food delivery personnel to deliver meals to their offices.

The food quality of these people is much higher than that of ordinary employees. They are all specially cooked delicacies, and the ingredients used are not commonly seen at home.

Inside the lunch boxes, there is also an anonymous shopping card attached to Hungry. The amount in it is replenished regularly, which is enough for their whole family to eat Hungry for free for a lifetime.

In addition to shopping cards, there are additional boxes containing some gifts for their wives, such as rings, earrings, high-end scarves, perfumes, etc., which look to be of great value.

The expressions of these senior officials of the Ministry of Magic were quite satisfied.

"After Lucius put aside his aristocratic demeanor, he became more and more knowledgeable."

"Are you hungry when he made this? It's good, very good."

"Lucius wants us to talk to you for being hungry, so that those old stubborns can use it with confidence? Ahem, if you say a few words, there will be extra gifts..."

“I think there’s no problem.

I will write to the Daily Prophet immediately. If we don’t support such a conscientious company as Hungry, who will we support? "
