A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 405: The new look of the company

Felix watched Ginny and Luna leave the classroom holding the replica of the Goblet of Fire together. To be honest, this thing is not light, but he also wisely did not suggest that they use magic.

They are all very smart, they probably just don't want to, not really didn't realize that they can use the Levitation Charm to reduce weight... right?

…

The next morning, and it was the weekend again, he appeased the sleepy Nixiu and came to Diagon Alley through the fireplace in the office.

Felix is ​​walking down a long cobbled road lined with crowded restaurants and shops, with giant parasols stretching across some of the shops, Florin's ice cream shop signboard in warm yellow Glittering in the light.

Even with his eyes, he can tell that the 'Future World' company is developing very well - along the way he can often see through the shop windows, large and small magic lamps, they are like a Dripping, fused into the heart of London's wizarding world.

At the entrance of the future world company headquarters, he unexpectedly saw a large group of people crowded at the entrance, noisy and lively. At the same time, some people came out talking and laughing.

Two staff members at the door reassured the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be crowded, everyone will have their turn." He put one or two people in from time to time.

What's going on?

Felix stood aside and stared for a moment, then walked forward, the crowd automatically separated, "Wait a minute, this gentleman... are you, Mr. Haipu?" The staff who stopped in front said in surprise, Then he looked at him with admiring eyes, and led him into the vertical castle building.

"Mr. Haipu, please come in, I have to maintain order." The staff said respectfully.

Felix nodded, went up the stairs, and narrowed his eyes to the scene in the hall.

This place has completely changed.

He still remembers that the place was originally empty with dark floors. Looking straight up from the center of the hall, he could directly see the chandelier on the top. Each layer is connected.

What impressed Felix the most was that he, Snape and Lupine fought here, and then discussed the company's development plan together.

But the hall in front of him looked like a magnificent museum, filled with crowds.

The young witches pointed at more than a dozen display cabinets, which should be newly developed products by the company's researchers, and a few staff members in uniform clothes were busy next to them.

"Professor Hype," said a girl with long curly hair.

"Clivet," Felix said to the people next to him, "the company has changed so much that I can't even recognize it."

"This is the result of everyone's hard work." Penello said with a smile. At this time, they walked along the spiral stairs to the second floor. She introduced as she walked: "Opening the lobby on the first floor is Keremy's proposal. We put some of the products that are not fully finalized outside, regularly invite outsiders to visit and try them out, and pick out useful suggestions for revision."

"I see, you are doing a good job." Felix nodded slightly, and said with emotion: "Maybe I should give you a raise."

He stood at the railing on the second floor, looking down from above.

With the help of the staff, a young witch put on an emerald crown, and then the crowd burst into exclamation. Her whole body shone with a crimson light, and her hair turned pale white. Frost color, intertwined with magical brilliance, stretched down her neck, and in the envious eyes of everyone, she put on a light concubine-colored princess dress, and gorgeous flowers bloomed on the edge of the skirt .

"How much is this! I want this!" cried the witch. She looks like a princess now, every inch of her skin is shining with dazzling luster.

"This is not for sale, we are still experimenting with the effect..." The staff had to struggle to explain.

Twenty or thirty feet away, a curly-haired little boy with purple hair blows out a sea-blue bubble, wrapping his younger brother who just turned one year old inside. The bubble looks very tough, and floats with the baby inside At a height of two or three feet. Sitting in the bubble, the baby stretched out his chubby little hand to a budding Clivia, but was blocked by the bubble. When the sea-blue bubbles landed on the buds of Clivia, the petals bloomed little by little, and a thumb-sized flower fairy was projected from the bright yellow stamens, flashing around the baby quickly, causing a burst of "giggle" laughter.

Their parents carefully accompany them, repeatedly confirming that there is no problem...

Felix continued to go upstairs, he asked: "How is Percy's work in the Ministry of Magic?"

"Him?" Penello sighed, "He is too busy and wants to make some achievements, and it just happened to catch up with his boss, Mr. Crouch, who is on a long vacation, so he can only issue instructions through owls. He is left with full autonomy, and many small things can be decided by himself...he is addicted to it..."

She said with some dissatisfaction: "He told me that he wanted to live in the ministry, but I stopped him."

Felix paused. His impression of Percy was that of hard work in his studies and rigid stubbornness in his daily life, and his extreme lack of sense of humor. Although he didn't like to tell jokes himself, at least he could hear them and was willing to applaud them, but these behaviors were not seen in Percy.

According to Mrs. Weasley's original words, "Ten cows can't bring back the decision he made."

Felix looked at Penello thoughtfully.

"Can you convince him?"

"Usually... yes." Penello replied a little strangely, but still.

"Yeah." Felix nodded.

They came to the third floor and pushed open a double-separated solid wooden door. Inside was a spacious room. Lupine and several people stood together and had a serious conversation.

In the center of the room, stands a huge wormwood-colored canvas that looks like a portrait, with moving images on it——

Two exquisite magic puppets are engaged in a duel, with blue lightning and orange flames intersecting each other. The puppets are obviously controlled by people, and they often use the terrain to avoid attacks when there is no time, and their movements are natural and smooth. The researchers below watched intently, sometimes exclaiming in surprise, or gasping in unison because of the intense action scene.

Felix was keenly aware that this was not a magic painting with spells cast on it, but some kind of live broadcast, because he saw Creme Vera and Arik McGee surrounded by the crowd— They are commanding puppets under the canvas screen, and a huge thing like a camera is facing the 'battlefield' among them.

Seeing Felix approaching, Lupine walked over quickly. He complained, "If owls hadn't been sending letters, I would have thought you were missing."

"Didn't I come here before?" Felix said with some embarrassment.

"Indeed," Lupine nodded, and said gently, "Let me think about when, if my memory hadn't been modified, I saw you last week, no, it was through voice transmission Mirror, is it last week? That is your patron saint——sent over two recipes for alchemy materials. Or last week? I misremembered, it was actually Dobby..."

"Ahem!" Felix rolled his eyes quickly and changed the subject, "That's the space capsule I told you about? It's interesting..."

They looked at the other side of the spacious room together. A young researcher took out a capsule from a flat metal box and threw it on the ground. All kinds of sundries, canvas pieces, kettles, clothes, and even some firewood...

The researcher moaned in disappointment, "Oh, it still doesn't work..."

When it came to business, Lupine became serious. He withdrew his gaze and said to Felix: "The Ministry of Magic still refuses to let go. You know, they are very strict about the Untraceable Stretching Curse."

"You don't have to worry about obstruction from the Ministry," said Felix.

Lupine stared at him, "That's not what the Magic Items Control Bureau said."

"Don't worry, Remus." Felix comforted him and said, "As long as they allow magic items carrying the Untraceable Stretching Charm to be sold publicly, whether it's tents or anything... even if there is only one kind, the future world will The company can get the authority."

"The only thing we need to pay attention to is to do a good job in the anti-tampering part, and the use of the product must not be changed." Felix stared at the young wizard who was experimenting in the distance and said: "It is not allowed to bring living things, especially people. He thought for a while and added: "It's best to urge the Ministry of Magic to improve this part of the law, and make clear regulations on the size of the space that is allowed to expand..."

"You speak as if the Ministry of Magic is run by your family. I'm not as confident as you." Lupine muttered, but Felix pretended not to hear clearly. He put his arm around Lupine's shoulders and led him to a large workbench with various odds and ends.

Constant temperature lockets, magic lamps, sound transmission mirrors, emerald crowns...there are so many things that make people dazzled.

"Okay, can you give me an introduction, what new products are there, and how is the company's recent development?"

"Currently we have seventeen products, but twelve are still being perfected, including the ones in the lobby... the remaining five, plus the Weasley twins' couple mirrors - when we sell them to the outside world Renamed the sound transmission mirror, because it is not yet able to transmit images over long distances - it has already started selling in seven branches.”

"Not counting foreign orders..."

Lupine showed an expression of appreciation, "The Quidditch World Cup light show is very successful, we have received a lot of orders one after another, and there is not enough manpower, so we have to cooperate with the Owl Post Office."

While speaking, a tawny owl flew in through the castle window. Circling around Lupin for two weeks, dropping a letter.

He hurriedly opened the letter for a glance, and while reading it explained: "It is to ask about the launch time of the product. Your strategy is very effective. When we send out the magic lamp product, we also send a product that is about to be launched as a gift. The list... many people wrote to ask."

He finally said: "Counting those abroad, the 'Future World' company already has more than one hundred employees. Even the "Daily Prophet" does not have so many people."

Felix can't get enough ~IndoMTL.com~ continues to expand. Not enough manpower to continue recruiting. "

Lupine looked at him hesitantly, "It's barely enough for now. Although it's been busy recently, it's because the company is still in the development period. When it runs smoothly in the future, it won't need so many people."

The number of companies in the magic world is actually quite small. The main reason is that there are only 20,000 to 30,000 wizards in the whole of the UK, and with the convenience of magic, only a few skilled employees are needed.

And this kind of small company often becomes the industry of a certain family, and it only recruits people every ten years. To some extent, his "Future World" company is an alternative—if the current momentum continues, if the brakes are not stepped on, it may only take two or three years to surpass the Ministry of Magic in terms of numbers.

Felix looked at Lupin, his light blue eyes met his, and he said calmly:

"For a long time to come, I hope that the company will be in the development period. As for the smooth operation...maybe after you retire."
