After coming out of the principal's office, Albert stopped, looked back at the closed wooden door behind him, and couldn't help but complain.
Albert is actually quite repulsive about killing people.
As for the group of unlucky ones who were killed by Scrimgeour, Albert could not be blamed at all. At most, he was just a reminder to Scrimgeour, and it was the court of the Ministry of Magic that ultimately sentenced them to death.
What does it have to do with him?
After leaving the principal's office, Albert went directly to the nearby Room of Requirement. When he reappeared in Hogsmeade, he had already put on a new vest.
It is not suitable to meet Zuko as Albert, and it can easily cause other troubles, so he is now wearing Lee Jordan's vest. This is why Albert did not let Lee Jordan follow him to Hogsmeade.
reason.
The village of Hogsmeade was a little 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, reached out and pushed open the red wooden door and walked in.
"You came on time."
Zuko forced out a smile to greet the person, but when he saw the person coming in, his expression suddenly froze.
"Is there any problem?" Albert asked.
"I thought..." Zuko said in an uncertain tone: "The Weasley twins told me that the person who came to talk to me was the famous Mr. Albert Anderson."
"Oh, you mean Albert!" Albert said in a rather helpless tone, "After that guy got married a while ago, he took his newlywed wife on a trip. I don't know where they are going. Now
I will be responsible for handling this matter with you."
"this……"
"Okay, let's take a look at this contract first. If you have any questions, we can talk about it later." After Albert handed a piece of parchment to Zuko behind the counter, he began to walk around the store and observed the inside of the store.
The backlog of goods.
"I think the profit commission you gave is too low." Zuko frowned slightly and complained: "Besides, the products in this store are still..."
"Don't worry, keep reading. There are several plans below. You can choose one from them." Albert reminded kindly: "Also, the products you have here are not easy to sell. If you can't sell them, the products will be sold."
The value is far not as high as you think. It is impossible for us to waste money to acquire this batch of goods that may not be sold. In the end, some of the products here can only be used as store opening gifts and given to the students who purchased the goods."
"Of course, you can also choose the option with the lowest commission. In that case, the galleons from the goods sold in the store will still belong to you, and we will also purchase the store, but you can only have a good salary and 100%.
A lower commission of five.”
"If you want to cooperate with us for a long time, I suggest you choose the former. That is actually Albert's sincerity in inviting you to join us. I remember that this was specifically mentioned on the parchment."
"Sincerity?"
Joko clearly didn't believe this nonsense. He didn't see the other party's so-called sincerity.
"I choose the lowest commission."
"Are you sure? Don't think about it anymore?" Albert raised his eyebrows slightly, "The shops in Diagon Alley will be temporarily closed in the near future, and Owl Mail Order will go to you. Are you sure you don't choose the one with higher profits? Maybe then
…”
"No, I think the latter one is more suitable for me." Zuko interrupted.
"That's really regrettable." Albert nodded and added, "One more thing, you need to work for us for three years. If you breach the contract, you need to pay a breach of contract fee of five hundred galleons. After you accept the employment,
Your salary will not be less than eighty galleons per month, plus a five percent commission on your profits."
"If you think it's okay, 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 that is valid for three years. If
If you are willing to stay when the time comes, you can renew your visa."
"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, "That's right.
,Would you like a glass of whiskey? Let’s celebrate our happy cooperation.”
"A glass of butterbeer. I have to work later, so it's not hard to get drunk." Albert declined politely.
"Butterbeer? Wait a minute, I remember there's another barrel in there."
Zuko turned around and went into the warehouse to get butterbeer, completely unaware that Albert quietly raised his wand behind him.
"Here, I wish us happy cooperation."
As he spoke, he took out a small barrel, poured two glasses of butterbeer from it, and handed one of them to Albert.
The two raised their glasses, clinked them lightly, and drank the butterbeer in one gulp.
"After a while, Fred and George will send you the goods you need. You have to spend some time to rebuild the store..." Albert shook his head slightly and fell to the ground as if he was drunk and passed out.
Joko looked at the fainted guy expressionlessly, walked over and closed the door and curtains of the shop, not forgetting to hang a sign saying he was out of business.
When he came back, there was a woman who had just walked out of the store warehouse and looked at Lee Jordan who was unconscious on the ground with joy, "I actually let that damn 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 change the place to interrogate him. I think Bella will be very happy." Alecto Carlo was quite satisfied with today's results, although he failed to catch the man named Albert Anderson.
Mudblood, but catching his friends is also very good. They can control him through the Imperius Curse to monitor the whereabouts of the Mudblood, or even...
Before Alecto Carlo could continue her fantasy, she suddenly froze on the spot and couldn't move. Behind her, Zuko was pointing a wand at her, and Albert had already pulled out his wand and pointed it at this unknown person.
Invite a nasty guest.
"Oh, it seems I'm lucky." Albert didn't look like he drank the living hell potion at all, "Alecto Carlo is actually a Death Eater."
A few minutes later, in the Screaming Shack, Alecto Carlo was walking up the stairs to the second floor.
"Failed?" Bella cast her gaze behind Carlo and frowned slightly.
"The Mudblood didn't go, but his friend, the black wizard named Lee Jordan. The other party was very cautious and didn't get fooled at all." Alecto Carlo said helplessly: "However, he should also
No doubt, we still have a chance."
"By the way, how are you doing over there?" he asked again.
"It's been successful."
"What are you going to do next? Do you have any plans? Those guys are very cautious, let's do a good job..."
"I plan to control that mudblood friend first. We have to figure out where that guy is hiding now." Bella said confidently, "This is not a difficult task. We can..."
"I'm afraid this is difficult. According to the latest information I got, their store 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 her proud plan was useless, Bella punched the wall in frustration, "We will always catch the flaw, they can't hide forever,"
