"You three wait outside for a while. It will be your turn after I finish talking to Albert." Professor McGonagall motioned for the three to go out, then raised her hand and pointed to the armchair next to her, asking Albert to sit down and talk. "Let's talk about your ideas about your future career. This will help you better decide what subjects to continue studying after entering the sixth and seventh grades."
Albert frowned slightly, as if he was thinking seriously about what Professor McGonagall said.
"Have you ever thought about what you're going to do after you graduate from Hogwarts?"
“Not yet.” Albert shook his head. “But I will probably write a book after I graduate.”
"Publish a book?" Professor McGonagall was surprised, but before she could continue to say anything, she heard Albert say, "Although "Dark Powers: A Guide to Self-Defense" is very good, it is far from enough for Hogwarts students to just learn the content inside."
"So, you are planning to write a book on the field of Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Professor McGonagall was shocked by her own idea.
"Yes, the content of Dark Power: A Guide to Self-Defense is very extensive, but it is only suitable for beginners and is not practical. The field of defense against the dark arts should focus more on practicality." Albert thought for a moment and said, "In the near future, people in the magic world will need a more practical book on defense against the dark arts to enhance their awareness of self-protection."
As he spoke, Albert took out a folder from the deformed lizard skin bag and handed it to Professor McGonagall.
"What is this?" Professor McGonagall took the folder, looked through the contents, and fell silent for a moment.
Those words really weren't just words, Albert was already doing it. She even suspected that the book would be finished and published successfully before Albert graduated.
Professor McGonagall opened her mouth, but finally couldn't help asking, "Have you ever considered joining the Ministry of Magic? I believe that with your grades and connections, you will be able to become Minister of Magic in less than 20 years."
"I haven't thought about it, and I don't want to join the Ministry of Magic. I don't have a good impression of that place." Albert shook his head and said, "Maybe I will open a shop, or become a fortune teller. I heard that fortune tellers are highly respected in the magic world."
"People who can truly predict the future are indeed respected by everyone, but there are very few such wizards." Professor McGonagall kindly reminded: "Most fortune tellers don't live very well, maybe you have already understood it."
"I know." Albert said calmly, "But a true prophet never worries about these issues. By the way, the next headmaster of Hogwarts is Professor Snape, if a certain pink toad is not counted."
"Is this... a prophecy?" Professor McGonagall was stunned when she heard this and looked at Albert suspiciously.
"Yes." Albert nodded and said, "In a few days, the magic world will have unexpected surprises. Perhaps you can look forward to it a little."
"Well, I guess the OWLS certificate and the S certificate are not worth mentioning to you." Professor McGonagall suddenly felt that she had done something stupid just now. Albert didn't need her career advice at all. He had already planned his life and didn't need others to worry about him.
"If you want to be the Potions Professor that day, Hogwarts will definitely welcome you." Professor McGonagall said with a smile, "On your way out, call Fred in for me."
Albert was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, “I will seriously consider it.”
Looking at Albert's departing back, Professor McGonagall frowned. If Snape became the headmaster, what about Dumbledore
And what is the pink toad?"
Just as Professor McGonagall was thinking about what Albert wanted to say, Fred pushed open the door and walked in.
"Sit down, Weasley." Professor McGonagall repeated what she had just said to Albert: "Let's talk about your ideas about future careers, which will better help you decide what subjects to continue studying after entering the sixth and seventh years. Have you ever thought about what you want to do after leaving Hogwarts?"
"Of course Professor, I plan to open a joke prop shop, a joke shop that can bring joy to everyone. Well, a shop like Zonko's Joke Shop." said Fred.
Professor McGonagall opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"You're planning on opening a joke shop."
"Yes, we have already started preparing, and we should be able to open the store immediately after graduation." Fred was very confident, and he didn't look like he was bragging, but like he had been prepared for a long time.
"you?"
Professor McGonagall felt that something seemed to be wrong with today's employment consultation. Fred had a clear goal and also said that he would open a store after getting a job.
"Yes, we."
"Mr. Weasley, I have to remind you that opening a store requires some start-up capital." Professor McGonagall didn't actually want to discourage Fred, and she didn't want to wait until Fred was ready to open a store, only to find out that the Galleons in his pocket were not enough for him to open a store.
"Also, if you want to open a joke shop, I think you should spend some time on the five main subjects. After all, making those joke props requires sufficient knowledge as a foundation to realize the idea."
"Don't worry about this. We have already collected enough start-up capital, and Albert will also provide us with knowledge support." Fred said confidently, "He supports us very much and thinks that opening a joke shop can make money."
"this… "
Professor McGonagall thought she knew where the start-up capital Fred was talking about came from.
"Well, since you already have your own plan, I won't say much. Mr. Anderson's vision is trustworthy, but I still suggest that you spend more time on your main subjects, especially in the field of spells. It will never be wrong to improve yourself now, and Mr. Anderson has been doing so."
"I will, Professor," said Fred.
"When you get out, call George in for me."
I can only say that they are twins indeed, George and Fred's answers are basically the same.
Professor McGonagall was looking at George's departing back, considering whether to continue with the career consultation. He wondered if Lee Jordan would do the same thing later.
"What are you going to do after you graduate from Hogwarts?" Lee Jordan frowned. "I'm probably going to open a wizard brand store."
"Wizard Cards?" Professor McGonagall was stunned. Of course she knew what Wizard Cards was. Wasn't this the club founded by the four of them? It was said that this game was invented by Albert.
"Yes, Wizard Cards." Lee Jordan nodded and said, "Albert thinks this card has great prospects and will be separated from the joke shop. I also like it very much and hope that Wizard Cards can be popular in the entire wizarding world. In fact, the professor should have noticed that Wizard Cards can not only bring joy and happiness to everyone, but also unite the students in the school and effectively enhance their knowledge of magic..."
Li Jordan's words made Professor McGonagall a little dizzy, but she finally understood what was going on. It turned out that Albert took a few people out to open a shop.
No wonder they are so confident.
Is Albert good
Of course it's amazing. They haven't even graduated yet, but they've already arranged everything. From the way they talk, she wouldn't be surprised even if the three of them took out a folder to show her.
(There really is such a thing)
As for where the money to open the store came from, Albert had already won two major awards and had no shortage of start-up capital.
