Chapter 764 Employment Issues
Dear Albert:
Buckbeak's case has been successfully appealed. The committee will hold a hearing again on April 10th. I don't know when you will be free. Come and have tea with me and talk about your views on this matter.
Please ask the owl to reply to me.
—Hagrid
Albert took out a pen from his robe pocket and wrote on the back of the note: seven o'clock tonight.
Then, let the owl fly away with the note.
“Whose letter?”
“Hagrid, let me go to his place for tea when I have time. Have you found the career you want?”
Albert turned his attention back to his friends who were flipping through pamphlets and flyers of various magic professions.
“No, I haven’t found a suitable job.”
Shanna held a pink and orange leaflet in her hand and shook her head in disappointment, "Most of the magic professions here are not suitable for me. It seems that it is not easy for wizards to find a satisfactory job. .”
"I think you should be able to do most jobs easily. It's just that it's difficult to find a job that satisfies you!" Albert could understand that Muggle wizards were always a little acclimated to finding a job in the wizarding world.
“You can become a housewife directly after graduation, so you don’t have to worry about work.” Alia joked.
"Is there a job you like here?" Shanna did not answer the question, but asked instead, "I think you should have more choices than me."
“Not yet, where is Angelina?” Aaliyah shook her head and looked at her friend.
“I’m thinking about becoming a professional Quidditch player.”
Angelina’s enthusiasm for Quidditch is not inferior to anyone else’s, and Wood’s path may also be suitable for her. After all, there are a lot of Quidditch teams in the UK and they always need to recruit new players.
“After retiring from the army, you can also consider becoming a senior Quidditch reporter for the Daily Prophet.” Albert added.
“There will be the Quidditch World Cup held every four years this year. Will any of you go to the World Cup?” Angelina suddenly asked, “It is said that the Bulgarian team is famous for its talented seeker.”
“I know, his name is Viktor Krum, and he is said to be still in school.” Lee Jordan said excitedly.
“We should go to the game if we can get tickets at home,” Fred said dryly.
“The chances are slim.”
George knew very well how expensive the tickets for the Quidditch World Cup were, and it was obviously difficult for his family to afford such a large sum of Galleons.
“Where’s Albert?” Angelina asked.
"Me? I can't get tickets for the World Cup." Albert shrugged.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan couldn't help but roll their eyes. They obviously didn't think that Albert would be unable to get tickets to the Quidditch World Cup with his magical powers.
A group of people were discussing this year's Quidditch World Cup enthusiastically. Zannah sat alone next to them, looking a little depressed. She couldn't get a word in. She silently looked at the flyer in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking.
“What are you looking at, so focused?” Albert asked with a smile.
“You mean this?”
Zannah handed the pink and orange leaflet to Albert, "Perhaps, Muggle Liaison Officer might be more suitable for me."
Albert took the flyer and saw an obvious slogan at first glance: Do you think you are willing to engage in Muggle liaison work?
The most important thing is your enthusiasm, patience and good sense of humor.
"I don't think Muggle liaison officers need a sense of humor." Zannah's face showed obvious disgust. "The Ministry of Magic seems to think this profession is inferior, so it only requires an O.w.Ls Muggle Studies certificate."
"No, this job is actually very important, but the wizards deliberately ignore it." Albert shook his head and said: "The Muggle liaison officer handles the relationship between Muggles and wizards. Most wizards look down on this. This situation is entirely due to their contempt for Muggles."
“What about you, what are your plans after graduation?” Shanna suddenly asked.
"Me? I'll probably... publish a few books!" Albert said after thinking about it: "In the next few years, people will need a book that can teach them to protect themselves."
“Publish a book?”
Shanna was a little surprised, but she soon felt relieved. With Albert's achievements in various fields, publishing a book does not seem to be a strange thing.
"If you don't find a job you like, you can consider helping me." Albert smiled and invited, "After all, publishing a book is also a very labor-intensive task. It would be much easier if someone helps me."
"Thank you, let's talk about it then!" Shanna didn't agree, and there was no need to refuse immediately. She felt incredible. She never thought that Albert actually planned to give herself a job.
“I thought you would open a shop with them.” Shanna naturally also heard that the four of them planned to open a joke props shop.
“Yes, we are already preparing. It will be almost ready after we graduate. But in terms of opening a store, I only provide technical and financial support.”
“Their luck is so good.” Shanna sighed softly, but thinking of Albert’s invitation just now, she realized that her luck was actually not bad.
As for deception, Shanna really never thought about it, and she didn’t think Albert would use such a thing to make herself happy.
“What are you talking about?” Aaliya came over and asked.
“Nothing, I’m just talking about working after graduation.”
"I just heard it all." Angelina said with a smile: "How is your book on Defense Against the Dark Arts going? When will it be published? I will definitely buy a copy to support it."
"I haven't started writing yet." Albert said helplessly, "I just have this idea."
“Then you plan to kidnap Shanna to help you work.” Angelina raised her hand and poked Albert’s chest and said, “You don’t want Shanna to work for you in vain, do you?”
“Am I like that kind of person?” Albert was quite speechless.
The girls looked at Albert up and down, as if they wanted to read something on his face.
"Don't be stupid. Since Albert plans to publish a book, it means he will definitely make a lot of money." Lee Jordan knew very well that Albert never did anything he was not sure of.
“What do you plan to do after graduation?” Alia asked.
“You will know later, we have planned what we are going to do in the future a long time ago. As for these leaflets, let them go to hell!”
"Where did you get so many galleons to open a store? Albert must have paid for it all." Angelina was also curious and stared at Albert with the other girls. There is no doubt that the only person who can come up with this start-up capital is Albert. He has participated in several international competitions and should have received a large bonus.
"We will be able to get a lot of galleons soon." Lee Jordan was a little carried away. After being stared at by three people again, he coughed and changed his words: "I mean, you don't understand that Albert is making money. With how powerful it is, we don’t worry about lack of money at all.”
"You are not planning to capture Sirius Black!" Zannah felt that she had guessed the plan of the four of them. "If you can capture Black, you can indeed get a lot of Galleons in one fell swoop."
Thinking about it carefully, it really looks like something Albert would do.
Albert was completely able to find the location where Sirius Black might appear through prophecy, and then took his three roommates to ambush him.
Sirius Black is indeed dangerous, but he doesn't have a wand now, and Albert is obviously not easy to mess with... If Black is attacked by four people, it is really possible that he will be caught in exchange for a bounty.
“You are really planning to catch Black.” Angelina and Alia both found it incredible that Sirius Black, who was extremely evil in the magical world, turned into a money bag in Albert’s eyes.
"It would be a good idea if we knew where Black is." George said with a smile. "After all, Black's bounty is ten thousand galleons. If successful, it will be a good windfall."
"If Black was so easy to catch, I would have caught him long ago in exchange for the bounty. After all, it's 10,000 Galleons." Albert coughed lightly and corrected: "Also, your topic is a bit off."
Actually, if Albert really wanted to capture Blake in exchange for a bounty, he would have done so long ago. In his opinion, the experience that Black's triggered tasks can bring him is much higher than the so-called bounty.
Albert is not short of money for the time being, but what he is lacking is experience. Although he still has a lot of experience in his experience pool, experience is never enough.
