Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 762: Employment issues

Views:

Dear Albert:

Buckbeak's case has been successfully appealed, and the committee will hold a new hearing on April 20th. I wonder if you are free to come and have tea with me and talk about your views on this matter.

Please owl me back.

—Hagrid

Albert pulled a pen from his robe pocket and wrote on the back of the note: Tonight at 7 o'clock.

Then, let the owl fly away with the note.

"Whose letter is it?"

"Hagrid's. Let me go to his place for tea sometime. Have you found the career you want?"

Albert turned his attention back to his companions who were flipping through pamphlets and flyers on various magical professions.

“No, I haven’t found a suitable job.”

Shanna held a pink and orange flyer 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 handle most jobs easily, but it's hard to find a job that satisfies you!" Albert could understand that Muggle wizards always have some difficulty adapting to jobs in the wizarding world.

"You can become a housewife directly after graduation and don't have to worry about work." Alia joked.

"Is there a job you like here?" Shanna didn't respond, but asked, "I think you should have more choices than me."

"Not yet. Where's Angelina?" Alia shook her head and looked at her friend.

"I'm considering becoming a professional Quidditch player."

Angelina's passion for Quidditch is no less than anyone else's, and Wood's path might 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 you retire from the army, you can also consider becoming a senior Quidditch reporter for the Daily Prophet," Albert added.

"This year there is the Quidditch World Cup held every four years. Are any of you going to watch it?" Angelina suddenly asked. "It is said that the Bulgarian team has a famous talented Seeker."

"I know, his name is Viktor Krum, and I heard he's still in school." Lee Jordan said excitedly.

"If the family can get tickets, we'll probably go to the game," Fred said dryly.

“The chances are slim.”

George knew very well how expensive tickets to 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 a ticket to the World Cup." Albert shrugged.

Fred, George and Lee Jordan couldn't help rolling their eyes. They obviously didn't think that with Albert's magical powers, he would not be able to get tickets to the Quidditch World Cup.

A group of people were enthusiastically discussing this year's Quidditch World Cup. Shannah was sitting alone beside them, looking a little depressed. She couldn't get a word in on this matter. She just looked at the flyer in her hand silently, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"What are you looking at so intently?" Albert asked with a smile.

"You mean this?"

Shanna handed the pink and orange flyer to Albert and said, "Perhaps, Muggle liaison may be more suitable for me."

Albert took the flyer and saw a very obvious slogan at first glance: Do you think you are willing to work in Muggle liaison

The most important thing is your enthusiasm, patience and a good sense of humor.

Next, he glanced at the admission of Muggle Liaison, which was almost the lowest threshold of all professions, requiring only an O.W.Ls Muggle Studies Certificate.

"I don't think a Muggle liaison officer needs a sense of humor." Shannah showed obvious disgust on her face. "The Ministry of Magic seems to think that this profession is inferior, so it only requires an O.W.Ls Muggle Studies certificate."

"No, this job is actually very important, but wizards deliberately ignore it." Albert shook his head and said, "Muggle liaison officers are responsible for handling the relationship between Muggles and wizards. Most wizards look down on this job. It is their contempt for Muggles that has led to the current situation."

"What about you, what are your plans after graduation?" Sana suddenly asked.

"Me? I might... publish a few books!" Albert thought about it and said, "In the next few years, people will need a book that can teach them how to protect themselves."

"Publish a book?"

Shanna was a little surprised, but soon felt relieved. Considering Albert's achievements in various fields, publishing a book did not seem to be a strange thing.

"If you haven't found a job you like, you can consider helping me." Albert invited with a smile, "After all, publishing a book is a very time-consuming task. It would be much easier if someone could help you."

"Thank you, we'll talk about it later!" Shanna didn't agree, nor did she refuse immediately. She felt incredible, and she never thought that Albert would actually give her a job.

"I thought you would open a shop with them." Shanna naturally also heard that the four of them were planning to open a joke props store.

"Yes, we are already preparing. It will be almost ready after we graduate, but in terms of opening a store, I am more of a technical and financial support."

"They are so lucky." Sana sighed softly, but when she thought of Albert's invitation just now, she found that her luck was actually not bad either.

As for deception, Sana really had never thought about it, nor did she think that Albert would use such a thing to amuse himself.

"What are you talking about?" Alia came over and asked.

"Nothing, just talking about work after graduation."

"I heard everything just now." 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 when the time comes."

"I haven't started writing yet." Albert said helplessly, "I just have this idea."

"Then you are planning to kidnap Shanna to work for you." Angelina raised her hand and poked Albert's chest and said, "You don't want Shanna to work for you for free, do you?"

"Do I look like that kind of person?" Albert was speechless.

The girls looked Albert up and down, as if trying to read something from his face.

"Don't be silly. Since Albert is planning to publish a book, it means he will definitely make a lot of money." Lee Jordan knew very well that Albert never did anything without certainty.

"What are you going to do after you graduate?" Alia asked.

"You will know later. We have planned what we will do in the future a long time ago. As for these flyers, let them go to hell!"

"Where did you get so many Galleons to open a shop? Albert didn't pay for it all." Angelina was also very curious and stared at Albert with the other girls. There was no doubt that the only person who could come up with this start-up capital was Albert. He participated in several international competitions and should have won a large sum of money.

"We will be able to get a large amount of Galleons soon." Lee Jordan was a little too proud of himself. After being stared at by the three people, he coughed lightly and changed his words: "I mean, you don't understand how good Albert is at making money. We are not worried about lack of money at all."

"You guys are not planning to capture Sirius Black, are you?" Shannah felt that she had guessed the four's plan. "If we can capture Black, we can indeed get a large amount of Galleons in one go."

Come to think of it, it really sounds like something Albert would do.

Albert was fully capable of using the prophecy to find the possible location of Sirius Black, and then ambush him with his three roommates.

Sirius Black was indeed dangerous, but he didn't have a wand now, and Albert was obviously not someone to be trifled with... If Black was attacked by the four men, he might really be caught and the bounty paid.

"Are you really going to catch Black?" Angelina and Alia both felt it was unbelievable. Sirius Black, who was extremely vicious in the wizarding world, turned into a money bag in Albert's eyes.

"If we know where Black is, this would be a good idea," George said with a smile. "After all, Black's reward is 10,000 Galleons. If successful, it would be a nice windfall."

"If Blake was that easy to catch, I would have captured him long ago for the bounty. After all, it's 10,000 Galleons." Albert coughed lightly and corrected, "Also, your topic has deviated a bit."

In fact, if Albert really wanted to capture Blake for the bounty, he could have done so long ago. In his opinion, the experience that Blake triggered could bring him was much higher than the so-called bounty.

Albert is not short of money, but experience. Although he still has a lot of experience in his experience pool, experience is never enough.
