Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1114: Valuable Defense Against the Dark Arts

After leaving the safe house, Albert used polymorphism to disguise himself as a middle-aged man with red hair. He couldn't go directly to Diagon Alley, that would be too ostentatious, he would put himself in danger, and he might even cause trouble for the trio and the newly opened joke shop.

So, it's best not to let too many people know that you are related to that store, or you will most likely be targeted by the Death Eaters.

After all, what to do next is indeed a bit of a hatred.

When Albert walked into the Leaky Cauldron Bar, he found that the lively bar had become extremely deserted, not even a single customer, the elderly owner was sitting on the bar, hearing Albert's footsteps After the sound, he stopped wiping the glass and raised his head hopefully, expecting the guests in front of him to sit down and have a drink.

Albert nodded to old Tom, and under the gaze of the other party's lost gaze, he walked through the bar hall to the small yard behind the garbage cans.

The entrance to Diagon Alley is here.

He did not Apparate directly to Diagon Alley, but passed through the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron, in fact, to understand the current situation in the wizarding world without attracting others' attention.

Albert raised his wand and tapped a brick on the wall, where immediately a doorway appeared, leading to a winding cobblestone path. He lifted his foot across the doorway and walked directly into Diagon Alley.

Today's Diagon Alley has completely changed its appearance. The bustling streets of the past are gone, replaced by gloomy and deserted streets. The wanted list of Death Eaters was posted everywhere, and there were suddenly many tattered stalls on both sides of the street. Those vendors were wizards who used to walk on the edge of gray. Now that the Ministry of Magic has no more energy to manage Diagon Alley, all the ghosts and snakes who were hiding in Knockturn Alley have emerged.

On the way to 93 Diagon Alley, Albert sees a scruffy, wretched little wizard selling passersby a silver amulet that it claims is resistant to werewolves, Inferi and Dementors.

That kind of suspicious stuff, obviously can't provide any help to the wearer, only a fool would believe it and be willing to spend money to buy it.

However, there are people around the stall who are really hesitant.

It can only be said that the resurrection of the mysterious man has made most people panic and desperately seek protection!

Pedestrians on the street are no longer willing to stop and talk, or even stay too long in Diagon Alley. People always come and go in a hurry, or move in groups of three or five, as if alone Something terrible will happen.

It is human instinct to report to a group to keep warm.

Wizards in the grey area don't get their attention.

Albert, however, is still skeptical about the effect of people grouping together. It may be useful to have a large group of people, and it can also bring comfort to everyone.

But what about the real face of Death Eaters and Mystery Man?

Is it possible to take advantage of the crowd?

There is a saying: You can't outrun a bear, but you can outrun you

Let's fight together?

If everyone had the courage to fight against the forces of darkness, Voldemort would not be able to stay in the UK long ago.

When I walked to the front of the store 93, I found that it was still under construction.

The "Happy House" project is still in the preliminary renovation stage, and Lee Jordan is talking to two wizards, who are apparently specializing in helping people decorate their houses.

As long as there is money to be made, there is always a corresponding career.

Make money, it's not shabby.

"Why are you alone?" Albert smiled and greeted Lee Jordan.

"You...why are you here." Lee Jordan saw the red-haired middle-aged man raise his hand to greet him, froze for a moment, and then thought that the guy in front of him was Albert.

Probably didn't want to be recognized, so I made a simple disguise.

Albert mentioned this to them last night, and he is now a Wesley with some money, and his red hair is the best proof.

"Let's see how your store is doing."

Albert smiled and nodded to the two wizards, then turned his gaze to Lee Jordan: "Why are you the only one, Fred and George?"

"They are busy people, so I can only see the store here." Lee Jordan said resentfully, and walked towards the back of the store with Albert.

Lee Jordan asked in a low voice when he walked outside where the two of them couldn't hear, "How did you make yourself like this, I almost didn't recognize it."

"It's not good for people to see it." Albert said with a smile: "You don't want to be troubled by others."

"If you've seen the ad that Fred and George prepared, you wouldn't think that way." Lee Jordan pushed open the back door and led Albert into a quirky tented room .

As the shop is still being renovated, the three have to temporarily live in tents.

There is a large box in the tent. When opened, there is a staircase going down. Although it is not as spacious and comfortable as Albert's suitcase, it is enough as a laboratory for making Defence Against the Dark Arts items.

"They're rushing to make Defence Against the Dark Arts items," Lee Jordan said mysteriously. "Yesterday, three Aurors from the Ministry of Magic came to the store and ordered a lot of Defence Against the Dark Arts items, and Fred and George were ready to go big. One."

"So, they left you with the renovation of the store?"

Albert didn't enter the box, but walked toward the tent's kitchen, where Fred and George were enjoying iced watermelons.

These watermelons were actually planted by Albert's house-elves, who had to find something to do for the house-elves in Hogsmeade.

"You are..."

Seeing that Lee Jordan brought a middle-aged red-haired man here, both Fred and George were slightly taken aback, and they each reached out to their wands.

"It's me," Albert said.

"How did you make yourself look like this?" George reacted faster than Fred and quickly recognized the guy in front of him as Albert. He only mentioned it last night, but the two of them have been so busy lately that they have forgotten about it.

"You two bastards..."

Lee Jordan angrily grabbed a large chunk of the air-conditioned watermelon and took a quick bite, forgetting the complaint.

"Yesterday, the Ministry of Magic ordered fifty sets." Fred excitedly shared the good news with Albert, "They said they might continue to order, maybe for all the staff at the Ministry of Magic. one."

"There are at least five hundred staff at the Ministry of Magic, and that's a big order!" muttered Lee Jordan. "I honestly doubt the Ministry would be willing to pay the money."

"They will, and they can be used to buy people's hearts." Albert didn't think the other party would default on his debt. Anyway, the money came from the Ministry of Magic, and the benefits came from the new minister.

“Defense bracelets, defense badges and detection pocket watches are the most popular.” George introduced to Albert, “By the way, Scrimgeour seems to be interested in ordering more advanced defense items from you. We will follow your wishes. Leave his contact information temporarily. When you are free, get in touch with him to discuss related matters."

There are advanced customization services in the store, with stronger and longer-lasting Defense Against the Dark Arts items, but the prices are very expensive, and whether you can buy them depends on luck.

"It seems that the effect is good." Albert was a little surprised by Scrimgeour's actions. Was this an intention to befriend him?

If he were Scrimgeour, he would actually understand.

After all, Albert is a master of prophecy and has shown extraordinary abilities, and is totally worth wooing.

Now his prediction of becoming Minister of Magic may be coming true, but the second half of the prediction is that he may lose his life during his tenure.

This is not good news for Scrimgeour.

Spend some money to have a good relationship with Albert, maybe the other party will give him a hint at a critical moment, and he will help him through the difficult time.

There is nothing wrong with everyone working together for a win-win situation.

"The effect is good?" The three of them turned their heads to look at Albert.

"I gave Scrimgeour a book with an advertisement for Defence Against the Dark Arts items, and it seems that they have approved our Defence Against the Dark Arts items." Albert was quite satisfied with the result. As he expected, the field of Defense Against the Dark Arts had completely turned into a cash cow during this period.

"So that's what I said, how could the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic suddenly come to the door." Fred suddenly realized, "I thought it was our advertisement in the Daily Prophet that worked."

"After they briefly tested the samples you left, they looked very good, and then they directly ordered 50 copies from Galleon. It was a little bit rushed, if you could help." George was eating watermelon , complained to Albert, "We've been going crazy lately."

"You can find someone to help you." Albert said without hesitation, "Lupin is good. He should be getting married soon, and he will definitely need some money. You can give him a good salary, so that he can occasionally have money. He came to help when he was free, and I don't think he would turn down this well-paying job."

"Lupin is getting married?"

Fred and George looked at each other with surprised expressions. If they hadn't heard the news from Albert's mouth, they wouldn't have believed it anyway.

After all, werewolf status is the biggest obstacle.

"It should be soon, next year." Albert said without hesitation, "Remember to keep it secret, if you say something, it may affect the result."

"Who is Lupin going to marry?" Fred asked gossiply.

"I think you'd better pay attention to the business. This kind of opportunity to make money won't last long." Albert reminded: "It's only two years at most, so you have to seize the opportunity to make a good profit. As long as the product quality is up to standard, we should try to spread word of mouth as much as possible, so that it will continue to flow in the future.”

The three looked at each other, a little surprised that Albert had asked them to hire someone.

However, they are really busy now. They have been living directly in Diagon Alley recently, and they are busy until late every day. Fortunately, there are house-elves to help them, otherwise they don't know what life will be like!

"We'll find time to ask Lupin's opinion if he's willing to help."

"The Defence Against the Dark Arts items should be packaged into various packages, sold as a package at a lower price than the unit price, and accompanied by a guide for correct use." Albert began to instill the sales method to the three, "We should teach them correctly How to save yourself, such as a dark wizard trying to break into your home, how to protect the safety of yourself and your family."

Albert spoke slowly, and listed the preventive and protective effects of the Defense Against the Dark Arts items, and packaged these items into a package to sell to those wizard families who lacked a sense of security.

"You can try the effect of the package first. If the effect is good, you can take the time to ask Lupin, Moody and others for various self-protection measures." Albert continued to say to the three, "You can give them a Pen Galleon for consulting fees, or some Defense Against the Dark Arts items for the Order of the Phoenix."

"You see, this way not only us, the Order of the Phoenix, but even the wizards who bought those Defense Against the Dark Arts packages can benefit from it, and can better protect their own safety during this turbulent period." Albert continued to flicker. His words are actually correct, but what the real effect is, there is no real practice test, it is really hard to say, but at least it is worthy of the other party's Jialong.

As Albert said, this is an offer that everyone can benefit from.

"At that time, we can also develop corresponding defense against the dark arts props based on the suggestions of Moody and others." George thought Albert's proposal was very good.

"I think we should change the name of the store." Lee Jordan couldn't help but complain, "It would be nice to call it a Defense Against the Dark Arts store."

"We just want to make some money now, and Albert also said that this kind of business won't last long." Fred and George didn't care about Lee Jordan's complaints, and took out notes seriously and wrote down Ai Bert's opinion.

They never thought it could be like this before, thanks to Albert's brain.

Those proposals are perfectly feasible.

From the Ministry of Magic brochure I received last time, it is not difficult to see the situation of ordinary wizards.

The safety measures for dealing with Death Eaters mentioned in the booklet, several of them have read it, it is simply garbage.

Secretly modified ~IndoMTL.com~ brazenly copied parts of Albert's Self-Defense Guide.

The Ministry of Magic doesn't care about the lives of other wizards at all, otherwise those pamphlets wouldn't be so hip-stretching, and it's not surprising that the Ministry of Magic recommends that you buy the "Guide to Self-Defense" one day.

With the Ministry of Magic unreliable, they're still up to them to protect themselves.

In the next time, Albert continued to instill the next strategic direction for the three, and by the way let them know that they are not only making money, but also contributing to the cause of justice, (as much as possible to the Order of the Phoenix Provide help), fight for great ideals, (support Harry, fight for the defeat of You-Know-Who, and restore peace to the Ministry of Magic), or help everyone, (teaching everyone to protect themselves in turbulent times), so many add up, believe in Fernandez Red, George and Lee Jordan definitely have enough motivation to work hard.

After Albert's teaching, the three people who have regained their spirits are all satisfied with what they are doing now.

Albert is also very satisfied. These two years are the best time to make money. If you want to get rid of poverty and get rich, you have to work harder.

As for someone jealous to steal business, Albert is not at all afraid. He spent so much time researching and planning, how could someone easily crack the final result and take away the final result, and as long as the brand is sold, others will not at all. Possibly an opponent.

God knows if the quality of the knockoff products can pass the test. If at a critical moment, the defense against the black magic props suddenly fail, it will be terrible?

No one wants to joke about their own life.

The most important thing is that Arthur Weiss will become the director of the detection and collection office of counterfeit defensive spells and protective items. He is completely his own, and other knockoff products have no competitiveness at all.
