Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1174: Penetration

Chapter 1176 Infiltration

Hogsmeade Village, Honeydukes Candy Shop.

Ambrose Froome replenishing the shelves of the shop with sweets in preparation for the arrival of Hogwarts students to Hogsmeade.

"Ah!"

Froome sat back at the counter, fixed his eyes on the notebook on the table, and sighed softly.

The owner of the candy store has been in a bad mood recently. Since the rise of Fred and George's "Happy House" joke store, he can clearly feel that the business in the Honeydukes candy store has declined significantly. What Froome was angry about was Zuko's betrayal. He clearly agreed to suppress Fred and George's business together, but the guy turned around and surrendered directly to the enemy, and now he is still making a lot of money, which makes Froome feel like eating As bad as shit, he's debating whether to accept the invitation.

The miraculous candies that Fred and George sell are actually not the same as the candies and desserts he sells. There seems to be no conflict between the two sides. However, there are only so many people in the British wizarding world, and the purchasing power of most children is limited. Well, once someone bought the candy from "Merry House", they had no money to buy the candy from Honeydukes.

At least, for the vast majority of Hogwarts students, magic candy is more attractive to young them.

Even though his Honeydukes confectionary shop is famous throughout the UK, Froome knows that most of the shop's customers come from Hogwarts students.

Honeydukes' candy store is clearly being overwhelmed by the magical candies, and he's still been unable to crack them to make something more attractive.

"Honey, please help me look at the store first, I'll go talk to Zuko." Froome closed his notebook, handed over the task of looking at the store to his wife, and went directly to Zuko's magic. Go to the joke shop.

He saw Zuko who was talking to John Hu Kan at the post office at a glance. After the two finished chatting, Froome walked over to greet each other.

"It seems that your business is booming."

"It's not very hot, but the business is okay, but it has nothing to do with me." Zuko seemed to think of something, and sighed helplessly, "Why, are you planning to join too?"

"I did think about it, and 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 it, who made Zuko's business explode, which made him jealous.

Who would have trouble with Garen?

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

"Is there nothing you can do?" Froome frowned slightly.

"No way." Zuko complained: "I heard that they were targeted by Death Eaters, and now I don't know where they are hiding. No wonder they asked me to help sell goods. I was lied to."

"What do you mean by saying that you have little to do with you?" Froome ignored Zoko's complaints, and he just said that unless the Weasley brothers were all killed by Death Eaters, otherwise It is only a matter of time before the store reopens.

"I'm actually the owner of this store. I can get a fixed salary every month. The items I sell get a small commission. The ratio is relatively low.” Zuoko was a little depressed when he talked about this, because he found that many of the products in his original store could not be sold, even if they were discounted, and if he had chosen a higher share at the beginning, every month The Galleons obtained are considerable and sustainable. The most frustrating thing for Zuko is that Lee Jordan has reminded him of this matter many times, and he still stubbornly made the worst choice. Like a big fool.

Froome frowned slightly after listening to the conditions that the Weasley twins offered Zuko. Because the other party's conditions are not attractive to him at all. Although the Honeydukes Candy Store is not as popular as it used to be, it is still very profitable. According to Joko’s contract, it is not attractive to him at all.

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

"Well, it would be great if the Ministry of Magic could limit their monopoly." Froome felt a little regretful. The resulting effect is far inferior to that of those magical candies.

"Don't even think about it. If we could limit them, we would have succeeded long ago." Zuko understood Froome's depression. After all, Zuko's magic joke shop was in a worse situation than Honeydukes. Oops, otherwise he wouldn't accept the invitation to cooperate, living such a busy life, just receiving, consignment and bill settlement every day makes him half-tired, sometimes Zoko wants to hire someone to help himself, but After thinking that the other party's salary would be paid by himself, he gave up this tempting idea.

"If you can contact them one day, tell them that I am willing to talk to him about cooperation." Froome felt that he should leave a way for himself, lest the other party plan to enter the field of candy one day, honey Duke's candy store might end up being closed by Joko.

"I will, but you'd better not have any expectations." Zuko looked at his old friend and couldn't help shaking his head.

When Froome walked out of the joke shop and was about to return to the candy store, he saw two employees of the Ministry of Magic who had just finished their patrol and were chatting with the proprietress of the Three Broomsticks, Ms. Rosmerta.

After the eyes of both sides met, Froome just nodded slightly to Ms. Rosmerta, then turned and returned to his shop.

This scene fell into the eyes of the patrolling mid-life crisis response team member.

"Is something wrong?"

Another young member of the crisis response team pauses to look back at their colleagues.

"Nothing."

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

"Do you think there are people in Hogsmeade really controlled by the Imperius Curse?"

Since the Ministry of Magic sent people to Hogsmeade Village, they have checked the residents here more than once, but they didn't find anything abnormal.

"If there is, it must be under the Imperius Curse, otherwise the flaws would have been exposed." The middle-aged wizard took a sip of black tea ~IndoMTL.com~ and continued to read the newspaper in his hand.

"Why is it so bet that someone in Hogsmeade will be controlled by the Imperius Curse?"

"I don't know, maybe the Auror office has received some new clues." The young wizard stood by the window, observing the outside with binoculars.

"Maybe they planted spies in the mysterious man's place."

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

Anyway, this job is not bad, at least you don't need to be as busy as others. Looking at the news reported in the newspaper, the employee of the Ministry of Magic 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 them." "

"This is not good..."

"What?"

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