Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1174: Infiltration

Hogsmeade Village, Honeydukes Candy Shop.

Ambrosio Froome is replenishing the store shelves with candy in preparation for the Hogwarts students to Hogsmeade.

"Alas!"

Froome sat back at the counter, stared straight at the notebook on the table, and sighed softly.

The candy store owner has been in a very bad mood recently. Since the rise of Fred and George's "Happy House" joke shop, he can clearly feel that the business in the Honey Duke candy store has declined significantly. Rum was angry at Jokowi's betrayal. He clearly agreed to suppress Fred and George's business together. As a result, the guy turned around and went directly to the enemy, and now he is still earning a lot of money, which makes Frum like eating Feeling like shit, he was hesitating whether he should accept the invitation.

The magical candies sold by Fred and George do not actually coincide with the candies and desserts he sells. There seems to be no conflict between the two sides. However, there are so many people in the entire British wizarding world, and most children have limited purchasing power. , once someone buys the "House of Joy" candy, there is no money to buy the candy in the Honeydukes store.

At least, for the vast majority of Hogwarts students, magic candies are more appealing to the younger ones.

Even though his Honeydukes candy shop is well known throughout the UK, Froome is well aware that most of the shop's customers come from Hogwarts students.

Honeyduke's candy store is apparently getting overwhelmed by the magic candies, and he has never been able to crack it to create something more appealing.

"Honey, help me see the store first, and I'll go talk to Joko." Froome closed the notebook, handed over the task of checking the shop to his wife, and turned directly to Joko's magic. Go to the joke shop.

At a glance, he saw Joko, who was talking nonsense with John at the post office, and after the two had finished chatting, Froome walked over to say hello.

"It looks like your business is booming."

"It's not very popular, but the business is good, but it has nothing to do with me." Zuko seemed to remember something, and sighed helplessly, "Why, do you plan to join too?"

"I did think about it. I plan to talk to Fred and George first, but I can't get in touch with them for the time being." Froome didn't hide that who made Zuko's business so hot that he was jealous.

Who else can't get along with Garen?

"Don't look at me, I can't contact them either." Joko shrugged and motioned to Froome to speak in the store.

"Isn't there anything you can do?" Froome frowned slightly.

"No way." Joko complained, "I heard that they were targeted by the Death Eaters, and now I don't know where to hide. No wonder they asked me to help sell the goods. I always feel like I was being targeted by them. cheated."

"What did you mean when you said it had nothing to do with you?" Froome ignored Joko's complaints, which meant that unless the Weasley brothers were killed by Death Eaters, The reopening of stores is also only a matter of time.

"I'm actually the owner of this store. I can get a fixed salary every month, and I get a small commission for the items sold, but I chose to keep the ownership of the original products in the store, so I took a commission. The ratio is low." Joko was a little depressed when he talked about this, because he found that many products in his original store could not be sold, even if they were discounted, and if he had chosen a higher share, every month The Garen obtained is considerable and sustainable. The most frustrating thing for Joko is that Lee Jordan has reminded him many times about this, and he still stubbornly makes the worst choice. Like a big fool.

Froome frowned slightly after listening to the Weasley twins' offer to Joko. Because the other party's conditions are not attractive to him at all. Although the Honey Duke candy store is not as popular as it used to be, it is still very profitable, and if it is according to Joko's contract, it is not attractive to him at all.

"If you cooperate, the situation should be different. After all, my shop was going to close at the beginning." Joko comforted: "You can consider contacting him and talk about the cooperation between the two parties."

"Alas, it would be great if the Ministry of Magic could limit their monopoly." Froome is a bit regretful. It's not that he hasn't studied those magical candies, but he has never been able to crack the mystery. The effect that comes out is far less than the effect of those magic candies.

"Don't think about it, if we could restrict them, we would have succeeded long ago." Joko understands Froome's depressed mood, after all, Joko's Magic Joke Shop was in a much worse situation than the Honey Duke Candy Shop. Too bad, otherwise he wouldn't accept the invitation to cooperate, living such a busy life, just needing to receive every day, consignment and bill settlement make him half tired, sometimes Joko wants to hire someone to help him, but After thinking that the other party's salary would be paid by himself, he gave up this tempting idea.

"If you can get in touch with them one day, tell them that I'd like to talk to him about cooperation." Froome felt that he should make a way for himself, lest the other day plan to enter the candy field, honey The Duke's Candy Store might end up being closed by Joko.

"I will, but you'd better not have expectations." Joko looked at his old friend and shook his head.

Froome was walking out of the joke shop and was about to return to the candy store when he saw two Ministry of Magic employees just finishing their patrol, chatting with Ms. Rosemerta, the owner of Three Broomsticks.

After their eyes met, Froome just nodded slightly at Ms. Rosemerta, then turned and returned to his shop~IndoMTL.com~ This scene fell to the mid-life crisis response team member who was in charge of patrol. eyes.

"Is something wrong?"

Another young Crisis Response Team member pauses and looks back at his colleague.

"Nothing."

The two returned to the temporary base to rest, made themselves a cup of black tea, picked up the newspaper to watch the latest news, and chatted about the current situation incidentally.

"Do you think anyone in Hogsmeade is really under the Imperius Curse?"

Since the Ministry of Magic has stationed people in Hogsmeade, they have checked the residents of Hogsmeade more than once, but have found nothing unusual.

"If there is, it must be a profound Imperius Curse, otherwise the flaw would have been exposed." The middle-aged wizard took a sip of black tea and continued to flip through the newspaper in his hand.

"Why are you so betting that someone in Hogsmeade is under the Imperius Curse?"

"I don't know, maybe there's a new clue from the Auror's office." The young wizard stood by the window, looking outside with his binoculars.

"Maybe they've planted a spy on the You-Know-Who."

"How could it be possible to go to the mysterious man to be a spy, do you think your life is not long enough?"

It's a good job anyway, at least it doesn't need to be as busy as everyone else. "Looking at the news reported in the newspaper, the Ministry of Magic employee sighed, "I always feel that those guys are crazy. Now things are getting bigger and bigger. Once things can no longer be covered up, I really don't know how to end." "

"It's not very good..."

"What?"

"I mean this has nothing to do with us, or leave it to the minister to worry about." The middle-aged employee secretly raised his wand and cursed at his colleague.
