The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 1139: someone wants to be lazy

"Albert is such a bastard, went on a trip on his own and left everything at us."

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan have had mixed feelings lately, and since their Defense Against the Dark Arts items became famous in Auror circles, they've quickly received large orders from the Ministry of Magic.

In fact, the store not only has large orders from the Ministry of Magic, but also receives a large number of owl mail orders every day, and has to deal with wizards who come to the store to buy Defence Against the Dark Arts items, so that all Defence Against the Dark Arts items are sold out of stock. .

Even with Lupin's help, the three of them were so busy every day that they lived a painful and happy life.

Just thinking of Albert, who didn't know where to go to travel after marriage, the three of them became unbalanced.

There's no way, everyone is working hard to make money, and the **** is lazy and fishing around, how can you not be angry, can you not pull him to work together?

"Didn't Albert say that someone will come to help us recently?"

Lee Jordan is proofreading a shipment that is due to be delivered to the Ministry of Magic today.

"It's been a few days, and no one has come."

It's not that the three of them didn't think about hiring helpers, but they were still worried after all.

Recently, there are quite a few guys who are jealous of them and make a lot of money. There are even **** who run to the Ministry of Magic to sue them for monopoly.

However, many counterfeiters have been suppressed by the Office of Reconnaissance and Collection of Counterfeit Defense Spells and Protective Equipment, and their father Arthur saved them a lot of trouble.

As for someone running to the Ministry of Magic to protest and expose the shady story in the newspapers?

Totally useless.

Because Scrimgeour's request is simple: take out qualified Defense Against the Dark Arts items.

If you dare to use fake and inferior defense against the dark items to fool people, you will be fined and jailed directly.

Just as they were complaining and verifying the accounts, the shop bell rang.

The three of them looked out the door in unison, and saw Shanna in summer clothes walking into the store, smiling and greeting the three of them.

"Could it be..."

"You are…"

"Albert said..."

"helper?"

All three looked at Shanna expectantly, hoping for a reply they hoped to hear.

"Can't you all finish it all at once?" Shanna looked at the store and found that many of the cabinets in the store were empty, and there were piles of packages everywhere on the ground.

"Yeah, Albert told me that you are very busy recently, let me come over to help you with some trivial chores and help you get through this busiest period." Shanna looked at the three of them eagerly, feeling Kind of funny.

"Great, I can finally get rid of this annoying job." Lee Jordan was in a good mood, and decisively handed over the matter at hand to Shanna.

Honestly, his maths is pretty average, and the little things in the store are driving him crazy.

"This is my job?"

"Yes, this is your job." Lee Jordan handed the owl order to Shanna again. "You need to sort out the owl mail order, help verify the number of mailings every evening, and that's your location."

Saying that, he pointed to the position of the cashier at the front desk.

"This is the price list of the goods in the store. Every day you have a task to settle the turnover of the day. Those annoying things always make my head hurt." Lee Jordan is very happy that he can finally 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 at the high sales and profits of Defense Against the Dark Arts items.

"Yeah, the sales are amazing, and we're all over the place." Fred couldn't help but complain, "Sometimes I almost thought we were running a Defence Against the Dark Arts store."

"Everyone feels insecure right now." Shanna nodded in understanding, and she could feel the uneasy atmosphere when she came to Diagon Alley.

"The most important thing is that our defenses here are guaranteed, and we have been approved by the Aurors, so we won't buy inferior products." George looked at the stacked packages and couldn't help but sighed, "This is actually Aberdeen. Special credit."

"I dare say that guy actually expected it from the beginning, so he pulled us to do coolies."

"That guy just likes to call people." Shanna said with a smile, "However, you did earn Galleons, so it should be a win-win situation."

"That's right, but... well, it's just a bit of a mental imbalance." Fred was a little depressed. "We were busy working to make money, and the guy was on vacation."

"Who made that guy's head work?" Shanna admired Albert's ability.

Who would have thought that Albert, with the support of the Ministry of Magic, made the sales of Defense Against the Dark Arts items skyrocket.

"It's obvious that I like to be lazy, and I always say that I should give the work to the right person to do it." Lee Jordan couldn't help but complain.

"I heard that the Ministry of Magic purchased the defense against the dark arts props Galleon, in fact, the Ministry of Magic fined Death Eaters to get it." George suddenly said.

"Finishing Death Eaters? Are you sure?" Shanna raised her head, suspecting that she had heard it wrong. Fining Death Eaters was something new.

"It is said that Scrimgeour wants to kill all the Death Eaters." George wanted to laugh when he said this.

"Why didn't I know?" Fred asked suspiciously.

"Stop laughing and keep talking." Lee Jordan is very interested in such gossip news.

"Later, it seemed that they considered Lucius Malfoy to be a famous pure-blood, and they fined their family fifty thousand Galleons and gave him a chance to be imprisoned for life." George was particularly happy when he saw that the Malfoy family was unlucky.

The Malfoys were rich enough to buy life imprisonment.

"Where did you hear that?"

"Digory told me last time," said George with a smile. "It shouldn't be a secret at the Ministry of Magic. We have to say that our new Minister always surprises people."

"The Ministry of Magic would allow such a thing to happen." Shanna was surprised, frowning and said, "I think this is a lot like a blatant robbery, and no one has an opinion?"

"Probably because all the Ministry of Magic employees benefited from this." George guessed why Scrimgeour dared to do this. "Everyone hates the Death Eaters and wants to kill them all. Who would? Do you care if it's unreasonable?"

"Benefit?"

"As far as I know, our new Minister used this fine to buy Defence Against the Dark Arts items for the entire Ministry of Magic employees." George finished pointing to the pile of packages next to him.

"In a nutshell, Scrimgeour bought the entire Ministry of Magic?" Shanna was also stunned by Scrimgeour's show.

"Yes, probably using the Death Eaters' Garen to fight the Death Eaters. Now everyone hates those Death Eaters, and no one will think there is a problem."

"I suspect it was Albert's brilliant idea for Skrein," Fred said gloatingly. "Otherwise, who would 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 to win, and he doesn't know how many times he won this time!"

Most of the Garen punished from Malfoy's group went into their pockets by purchasing Defense Against the Dark Arts items.

"But do they really need these things? I mean..."

"You don't know how bad they are at Defence Against the Dark Arts, many of the Ministry of Magic employees can't even use an armored spell," George explained.

"Wizards at the Ministry of Magic are really bad enough that they can't even use an iron armor spell?" Shanna expressed doubts about this. Shouldn't wizards who can work in the Ministry of Magic have good grades? How can you pull your hips like this?

"That's because we were lucky enough to meet Albert who was willing to teach us." After helping to count today's emails, Fred turned his head and asked, "Have seafood noodles for dinner, you should be fine!"

"What?" Shanna didn't respond for a while.

"Today's dinner," George explained. "I'll ask the house-elves to help prepare another."

"The house-elf was also hired by Albert, and usually helps take care of the lives of several of us." Lee Jordan explained, "By the way, Dobby's cooking skills are very good, you will find out later."

"It's almost six o'clock, I dare say Diggory is late again today." Fred said suddenly, "Should we send the other mail first."

"Who said I was late."

"One minute and thirty-seven seconds," said George, shaking his watch.

"That must be your pocket watch faster." Diggory didn't care, his eyes fell on the package in the corner of the store, and he began to call for other Ministry of Magic employees to help check it.

"Fifty pieces in total."

After they put the package in the non-marking stretch bag, they took George to Gringotts and settled the money on the spot.

This is why Albert is willing to give the Ministry of Magic a 20% discount.

Although it seems that they have earned a lot less Galleons, they actually did not suffer a loss, because they set the price themselves, even if it is too high, others will not know, not to mention that they can earn a good reputation for themselves.

"It's really enviable!"

"Envy the fart, you don't have two followers."

"Don't, you can't talk nonsense." Diggory made a shush gesture. "One of them is here to give money, the other is to check the quality of Defense Against the Dark Arts items, and I'm the one running errands."

"We originally planned to have Diggory come to the store to help." Fred shrugged. "In the end, this guy went to my father's place to be an assistant."

"However, now that Shanna is here, we don't need you anymore."

"It's so sad." Diggory took a letter from his pocket and handed it to Fred. "This is what the Ministry of Magic needs for Defence Against the Dark Arts items, if you can..."

"We can't, we're too busy right now, and we don't think we can," Fred interrupted, "I'll pass it on to Albert, but you know he's traveling after marriage, and no one knows. Where did he go, so we can only wait, and we will reply to you as soon as there is a result."

"Okay, then I'll go first, and the next batch will be delivered as soon as possible!" Diggory was a little helpless, but he also knew that it was best not to disturb Albert's post-marriage trip now.

"I can't get up soon, there are too many things to do every day, we are almost exhausted." Fred looked at Diggory's leaving back and couldn't help complaining.

"By the way, I almost forgot something, how is your potion?" Lee Jordan turned his head and asked. "Will you make a vitality tonic?"

"Oh, that's fine, my potion NEWTs certificate got E (good)." Shanna asked suspiciously. "You need me to make a vitality tonic?"

"Yeah, we need that thing to stay active. It's too tiring to work every day. The three of us have average levels of potions. We used the stock left by Albert in the past, but they have been used up two days ago." Li Jordan said and looked at Fred, "I remember Albert had a formula for his revitalizing tonic."

"Wait a mininute."

Fred went inside and quickly brought up a notebook.

"How about it?"

"It should be fine according to the formula." Shanna flipped through the formula of the vitality tonic and asked curiously, "Is this an improved version of Albert?"

"right."

Just then, George's voice came from outside.

"Help to get all the parcels out." George called the postman along the way, along with a large group of owls.

While proofreading, several people let the owl leave with the package, and they were busy until the sky began to darken.

Shanna finally understood why Albert asked her to help.

They just can't be busy.

Even she herself is exhausted, and she still has a lot of things to do now.

"Let's eat first," George suggested.

"Your salary, did Albert tell you?"

"Well, I said it was from his share, so don't complain. He said that such a busy job won't last for a few years. Let's stick to earning money first." Shanna looked around and found that there was a little bit here. Like the activity room of the wizard card club, there is still music playing next to it.

"Let's break in for a few days." George hesitated for a moment, but then said, "If you think it's appropriate, you can consider staying in the store directly, and the salary will definitely satisfy you."

He felt it was inappropriate for Albert to pay Shanna's salary, and they wouldn't have a chance to complain about that guy being lazy.

"Yes, you can't let Albert pay you with his Galleons, otherwise we will complain about him in the future." Fred agreed with George's proposal.

"You must not let that guy succeed, or he will throw everything to us in the future!" Lee Jordan also agreed with Fred and George's decision.

"We'll talk about this later. I'm here to help temporarily." Shanna didn't answer immediately and changed the subject, "Where are you and Angelina now?"

"She wants to play. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Fred is very helpless, although he also supports Angelina to play, but...

"Take your time, don't worry about chasing girls." Shanna said with a smile, "Angelina actually likes you a lot. However, she won't let go of Quidditch easily, so you may have to wait for a while. "

"I can afford to wait, I'm afraid..." Fred didn't finish his sentence.

After graduating from school, many couples are busy with each other, and their relationship gradually fades.

"The benefits here are really good!" Shanna looked at the Italian seafood noodles and quickly changed the subject.

She knew what Fred was worried about.

"Yeah, working overtime at night and supper, if it weren't for these delicacies, we all doubt that we would be able to survive." George took up the topic with understanding, "There will be Italian vegetable soup later, it tastes very delicious, you can't at all. miss."

At this moment, a group of silver light passed through the wooden door and landed on the dining table, making the sound of Sirius.
