"Albert is such a bastard. He went on a trip and left everything to us."
Fred, George and Lee Jordan have been in quite complicated moods recently. Ever since their defense tools against the dark arts became famous in the Auror circle, they have quickly received large orders from the Ministry of Magic.
In fact, not only does the store have large orders from the Ministry of Magic, but it also receives a large number of mail orders from owls every day. It also has to deal with wizards who come to the store to buy defense items against the dark arts, causing all the defense items against the dark arts to be sold out.
Already.
Even with Lupine's help, the three of them were extremely busy every day and lived a painful and happy life.
Just thinking about Albert who was traveling after marriage to nowhere, the three of them became unbalanced.
There is no way, everyone is working hard to make money, but that bastard is just lazing around and fishing. How can you not be angry and drag him to work together?
"Didn't Albert say that someone will come to help us soon?"
Lee Jordan is proofreading a shipment that will be delivered to the Ministry of Magic today.
"It's been a few days and no one has come."
It's not like the three of them haven't thought about hiring helpers, but they are still worried after all.
There are quite a few people who are jealous of the big money they make recently. There are even assholes who went to the Ministry of Magic to sue them for monopoly. Counterfeit dark magic defense items are popping up like leeks.
However, many counterfeiters have been suppressed by the Office of Reconnaissance and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defense Spells and Protective Equipment, and their father Arthur has saved them a lot of trouble.
As for some people going to the Ministry of Magic to protest and expose the shady story in the newspapers?
It's all useless.
Because Scrimgeour's request is very simple: bring out qualified black magic defense items.
If you dare to deceive people with fake black magic defense items, you will be fined and imprisoned directly.
Just as they were complaining and verifying the accounts, the store bell rang.
The three of them looked out the door and saw Shanna in summer clothes walking into the store and greeting the three of them with a smile.
"Could it be..."
"You are……"
"Albert said..."
"helper?"
The three of them looked at Shanna expectantly, hoping to get the reply they wanted to hear.
"Can't you just finish it all at once?" Shanna looked at the store and found that many cabinets in the store were empty and there were piles of packages everywhere on the floor.
"Yes, Albert told me that you have been very busy recently, and asked me to come over and help you take care of some trivial matters to help you get through the busiest period now." Shanna looked at the three people looking at each other eagerly, feeling
It's a bit funny.
"Great, I can finally get rid of this annoying job." Li Jordan was in a good mood and decisively handed over the matter at hand to Shanna.
To be honest, his math skills were mediocre, and the chores in the store drove him crazy.
"This is my job?"
"Yes, this is your job." Lee Jordan handed the owl order to Shanna again, "You need to organize the owl mail order order, help verify the mailing quantity every evening, and that is your location."
As he spoke, he pointed to the cashier's position at the front desk.
"This is the price list of the goods in the store. You also have the task of calculating the day's turnover every day. Those annoying things always make my head hurt." Li Jordan was very happy to finally be able to hand over these tedious and delicate tasks.
Someone else.
"There are so many owl orders every day?" Shanna looked at the report in her hand and was very surprised by the high sales volume and profit of the black magic defense items.
"Yes, the sales are so amazing that we are in a hurry." Fred couldn't help complaining: "Sometimes I almost thought we were opening a defense against the dark arts shop."
"Everyone doesn't feel safe right now." Shanna nodded to express her understanding. She could feel the uneasy atmosphere when she came to Diagon Alley.
"The most important thing is that the defense props we have here are guaranteed and approved by Aurors, so we won't buy inferior products." George looked at the stacked packages and couldn't help but sigh, "These are actually all from Albert.
Special credit.”
"I dare say that guy actually expected it from the beginning, so he dragged us to do hard labor."
"That guy just likes to boss people around." Shanna said with a smile, "However, you did earn galleons, so it should be considered a win-win situation."
"That's true, but...well, it's just a bit unbalanced." Fred was a little depressed, "We are busy working to make money, and that guy is taking a leisurely vacation."
"Who made that guy's head work so well?" Shanna admired Albert's ability.
Who would have thought that Albert, through the support of the Ministry of Magic, would soar sales of dark magic defense items.
"You obviously like to be lazy, but you always talk about leaving the work to the right people." Li Qiaodan couldn't help complaining.
"I heard that the Galleons used by the Ministry of Magic to purchase defense tools against the dark arts were actually obtained by the Ministry of Magic by fining Death Eaters." George said suddenly.
"Fining Death Eaters? Are you sure?" Zannah raised her head, suspecting that she had heard wrongly. Fining Death Eaters was something new.
"It is said that Scrimgeour wanted to kill all the Death Eaters." George wanted to laugh when he mentioned this.
"Why didn't I know?" Fred asked doubtfully.
"Stop laughing, keep talking." Li Jordan was very interested in such gossip news.
"Later, it seems that considering that Lucius Malfoy was a well-known pure-blood, he fined his family fifty thousand Galleons and gave him a chance of life imprisonment." George felt particularly happy when he saw the Malfoy family's misfortune.
The Malfoy family is rich, so rich that they can buy life imprisonment.
"Where did you hear that?"
"Digory told me last time." George said with a smile, "This matter should not be considered a secret in the Ministry of Magic. I have to say that our new minister can always bring surprises to people."
"The Ministry of Magic actually allows this to happen." Zannah was very surprised and said with a frown, "I think this is like a blatant robbery, but no one has any objections?"
"Probably because all the employees of the Ministry of Magic have benefited from this matter." George guessed the reason why Scrimgeour dared to do this. "Everyone hates Death Eaters and wants to kill them all. Who would
Do you care that this is unreasonable?"
"Benefit?"
"As far as I know, our new minister used the fine to buy defense against the dark arts items for all employees of the Ministry of Magic." George said and pointed to the pile of packages next to him.
"In short, Scrimgeour bought the entire Ministry of Magic?" Zannah was also stunned by Scrimgeour's tricks.
"Yes, probably using the Death Eaters' Galleons to fight against the Death Eaters. Now that everyone hates those Death Eaters, no one will think there is a problem."
"I suspect this was Albert's brilliant idea for Skrein." Fred said gloatingly, "Otherwise, who could have come up with such a bad idea?"
"It's really like what Albert would do." Lee Jordan also nodded in agreement, "That guy likes win-win situations. He doesn't know how many times he has won this time!"
Most of the Galleons that were fined from Malfoy and his friends flowed into their pockets by purchasing dark magic defense items.
"But do they really need these things? I mean..."
"You don't know how bad they are at defense against the dark arts. Many employees of the Ministry of Magic can't even use the Iron Armor Charm." George explained.
"Are the wizards in the Ministry of Magic really so bad that they can't even use the Iron Armor Charm?" Shanna expressed doubts about this. Shouldn't the wizards who can work in the Ministry of Magic have good grades? Why are their hips so stretched?
"That's because we were lucky enough to meet Albert who was willing to teach us." After helping to sort out today's emails, Fred turned around and asked, "You should be fine with spaghetti for dinner!"
"What kind of noodles?" Shanna didn't respond for a moment.
"Today's dinner." George explained: "I will ask the house elf to help prepare an extra portion later."
"The house elf was also hired by Albert to help take care of the lives of us." Lee Jordan explained, "By the way, Dobby's cooking skills are very good, you will know later."
"It's almost six o'clock. I dare say Digory is late again today." Fred suddenly said, "How about we send out the other mail first."
"Who said I was late."
"One minute and thirty-seven seconds." George shook his pocket watch and said.
"Then your pocket watch must be faster." Digory didn't care, his eyes fell on the package in the corner of the store, and he began to call on other Ministry of Magic employees to help check and accept it.
"Fifty pieces in total."
After they put the package into a seamless stretch bag, they took George to Gringotts and settled the payment on the spot.
This is why Albert is willing to give the Ministry of Magic a 20% discount.
Although it seems that they have made a lot less Galleons, they actually do not suffer a loss, because they set the price themselves, and even if it is higher, others will not know, not to mention it can earn themselves a good reputation.
“It’s really enviable!”
"I'm so jealous, you have two followers."
"No, don't talk nonsense." Digory made a shushing gesture, "One of them is here to give money, the other is here to check the quality of the dark magic defense items, and I am just an errand boy."
"Originally we planned to ask Digory to come to the store to help." Fred shrugged, "but this guy actually went to work as an assistant to my father."
"But now that Shanna is here, we don't need you anymore."
"It's really sad." Digory took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Fred. "This is the Ministry of Magic's request for defense against the dark arts. If you can..."
"We can't, we are too busy now, and we don't think we have the ability." Fred interrupted, "I will forward the letter to Albert, but you also know that he is traveling after marriage, and no one knows about it.
Where did he go, so we can only wait a little longer, and we will reply to you as soon as there are results."
"Okay, I'll leave first, and you can deliver the next batch as soon as possible!" Digory was a little helpless, but he also knew that it was best not to disturb Albert's post-wedding trip now.
"I can't get up quickly. There are too many things to do every day. We are almost exhausted." Fred looked at Digory's leaving back and couldn't help complaining.
"By the way, I almost forgot something. How is your potion?" Lee Jordan turned around and asked. "Can you make vitality tonic?"
"Oh, that's no problem. My potion S certificate got e (good)." Shanna asked doubtfully. "Do you need me to brew the vitality tonic?"
"Yes, we need that thing to stay active. It's too tiring to work every day. The three of us have average potion levels. We used to use the stock left by Albert, but it was used up in the past two days." Li
Jordan said and looked at Fred, "I remember that Albert left the formula for the vitality tonic."
"Wait a mininute."
Fred walked inside and quickly brought out a notebook.
"How about it?"
"It should be fine if you follow the formula." Shanna flipped through the formula of the vitality tonic and asked curiously, "Is this Albert's improved version?"
"right."
At this moment, George's voice came from outside.
"Help move out all the mailed packages." George called the postman along the way, along with a large group of owls.
The few people were proofreading and letting the owl leave with the package. They were busy until the sky started to get dark.
Shanna finally understood why Albert asked her to help.
They are really too busy on their own.
Even she was exhausted, and she still had a lot of things to do.
"Let's eat first." George suggested.
"Did Albert tell you about your salary?"
"Well, I told you that it will be deducted from his share, so don't complain. He said that such busy work can't last for a few years. Let's insist on making money first." Shanna looked around and found that there was something a little bit here.
Like the activity room of the Wizard Card Club, music is still playing next to it.
"Let's get used to it for a few days." George hesitated for a moment, then said, "If you think it's suitable, you can consider staying in the store directly. The salary will definitely satisfy you."
He felt that it was inappropriate for Albert to pay Shanna's salary, and then they would have no chance to complain about the guy's laziness.
"Yes, we can't let Albert use his own galleons to pay you, otherwise we will complain about him in the future." Fred agreed with George's proposal.
"We must not let that guy succeed, otherwise he will leave everything to us in the future!" Lee Jordan also agreed with Fred and George's decision.
"We will discuss this matter later. I am here to help temporarily." Shanna did not agree immediately and changed the topic, "Where are you and Angelina now?"
"She wants to play ball." Fred was very helpless. Although he also supported Angelina in playing ball,...
"Take your time, don't be in a hurry when chasing a girl." Shanna said with a smile, "Angelina actually likes you. However, she won't give up Quidditch easily, so you may have to wait for a while.
"
"I can afford to wait, but I'm afraid..." Fred didn't finish his sentence.
After many couples graduate from school, they are busy with their own affairs, and their relationship gradually fades away.
"The benefits you have here are so good!" Shanna looked at the Italian seafood pasta that was served and quickly changed the topic.
She knew what Fred was worried about.
"Yes, we work overtime at night and have late night snacks. If it weren't for these delicacies, we doubt that we would be able to survive." George took over the topic very understandingly, "There will be Italian vegetable soup later, which is very delicious. You can't help it at all."
miss."
At this moment, a ball of silver light passed through the wooden door and landed on the dining table, making Sirius's voice.
