Chapter 1114： Valuable Defense Against the Dark Arts

After leaving the safe house, Albert used polymorphism to disguise himself as a middle-aged red-haired man. He couldn't go directly to Diagon Alley, that would be too ostentatious, he would put himself in danger, and he might even cause trouble for the trio and the newly opened joke shop.

Therefore, it is best not to let too many people know that he is related to that shop, otherwise he will most likely be targeted by the Death Eaters.

After all, what to do next is indeed a bit of hatred.

When Albert lifted his foot and walked into the Leaky Cauldron Bar, he found that the lively bar had become extremely deserted. There was not even a single customer. The elderly owner was sitting on the bar. After hearing Albert's footsteps, Stop wiping the glass and look up hopefully, expecting the guests in front of you to sit down and have a drink.

Albert nodded to old Tom, and under the gaze of the other party's lost gaze, he walked through the bar hall and went to the small yard behind where the trash cans were placed.

The entrance to Diagon Alley is here.

He didn't Apparate directly to Diagon Alley, but passed through the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron. In fact, he wanted to understand the current situation in the magic world without attracting other people's attention.

Albert raised his wand and tapped a brick on the wall, where immediately a doorway appeared, leading to a winding cobblestone path. He lifted his foot across the doorway and walked directly into Diagon Alley.

Today's Diagon Alley has completely changed its appearance. The prosperity of the past has disappeared, replaced by gloomy and deserted streets. The wanted list of Death Eaters was posted everywhere, and there were suddenly many tattered stalls on both sides of the street. Those vendors were wizards who used to walk on the edge of gray. Now that the Ministry of Magic has no more energy to manage Diagon Alley, all the ghosts and snakes who were hiding in Knockturn Alley have emerged.

On the way to 93 Diagon Alley, Albert sees a scruffy, wretched little wizard selling passersby a silver amulet that it claims is resistant to werewolves, Infernal corpses and Dementors.

That kind of suspicious stuff obviously can't provide any help to the wearer, only a fool would believe it and be willing to spend money to buy it.

However, there were still people around the stall who were hesitant.

It can only be said that the resurrection of the mysterious man has made most people panic and desperately seek protection!

Pedestrians on the street are no longer willing to stop and talk to people, or even stay too long in Diagon Alley. People always come and go in a hurry, or get together in groups of three or five, as if an order will happen. what a terrible thing.

It is human instinct to report to the group to keep warm.

Those wizards in the gray area don't get their attention.

However, Albert still doubts the effect of people's grouping. It may be useful to have a large number of people, and it can also bring comfort to everyone.

But what about the real face of Death Eaters and Mysterious Man?

Is it possible to take advantage of the crowd?

There is a saying how to say: Can't outrun a bear, but can outrun you

Let's fight together?

If everyone had the courage to fight against the forces of darkness, Voldemort would not be able to stay in the UK long ago.

When I walked to the front of the No. 93 store, I found that it was still under construction.

The "Happy House" project is still in the preliminary renovation stage, and Lee Jordan is talking to two wizards, who are apparently specializing in helping people decorate their houses.

As long as there is money to be made, there is always a corresponding career.

Make money, it's not shabby.

"Why are you alone?" Albert smiled and greeted Lee Jordan.

"You...why are you here." Lee Jordan saw the red-haired middle-aged man raise his hand to greet him, froze for a moment, and then thought that the guy in front of him was Albert.

Probably because he didn't want to be recognized, he made a simple disguise.

Albert mentioned this to them last night. He is now a Wesley with some money, and his red hair is the best proof.

"Let's see how your shop is doing."

Albert smiled and nodded to the two wizards, then turned his gaze to Lee Jordan: "Why are you the only one, Fred and George?"

"They're all busy people, so I can only see the store here." Lee Jordan said resentfully, and walked towards the back of the store with Albert.

When he walked outside where the two of them couldn't hear, Lee Jordan lowered his voice and asked, "How did you make yourself like this, I almost didn't recognize it."

"It's not good for people to see it." Albert said with a smile: "You don't want to be troubled by others."

"If you've seen the advert prepared by Fred and George, you won't think that way." Lee Jordan pushed open the back door of the store and led Albert into a quirky room with a pitched tent.

Since the shop is still being renovated, the three can only temporarily live in tents.

There was a large box in the tent, and after opening it, there was a staircase going down. Although it was not as spacious and comfortable as Albert's suitcase, it was enough as a laboratory for making Defense Against the Dark Arts items.

"They're rushing to make Defence Against the Dark Arts items." Lee Jordan said mysteriously, "Yesterday, three Aurors from the Ministry of Magic came to the store and ordered a lot of Defence Against the Dark Arts items, and Fred and George were going to have a big fight. "

"So, they threw you the matter of renovating the storefront?"

Albert didn't enter the box, but walked toward the tent's kitchen, where Fred and George were enjoying iced watermelons.

These watermelons were actually planted by Albert's house-elves, who had to find something to do for the house-elves in Hogsmeade.

"You are…"

Seeing that Lee Jordan had brought a red-haired middle-aged man here, both Fred and George were slightly taken aback and stretched out their hands to their wands.

"It's me." Albert said.

"How did you make yourself look like this?" George's reaction speed was faster than Fred's, and he quickly recognized that the guy in front of him was Albert. He only mentioned it last night, but the two of them have been so busy lately that they have forgotten about it.

"You two bastards..."

Lee Jordan angrily grabbed a chunk of the air-conditioned watermelon and took a quick bite, forgetting even the complaint in his mouth.

"Yesterday, the Ministry of Magic ordered fifty sets." Fred excitedly shared the good news with Albert, "They said they might continue to order, and maybe they would buy one for all the staff at the Ministry of Magic. "

"There are at least five hundred staff at the Ministry of Magic, and that's a big order!" Lee Jordan muttered. "Honestly, I doubt the Ministry would be willing to pay the money."

"They will, and they can be used to buy people's hearts." Albert didn't think the other party would default on his debt. Anyway, the money came from the Ministry of Magic, and the benefits came from the new minister.

"Defense bracelets, defense badges and detection pocket watches are the most popular." George introduced to Albert, "By the way, Scrimgeour seems to be interested in ordering more advanced defense items from you. We will leave it as you wish. His contact information. See when you are free, and then get in touch with him to discuss related matters."

There are advanced customization services in the store, stronger and more durable defense against the black magic items, but the price is very expensive, and whether you can buy them depends on luck.

"It seems that the effect is good." Albert was a little surprised by Scrimgeour's actions. Was this an intention to befriend him?

If he were Scrimgeour, he would actually understand.

After all, Albert is a master of prophecy and has shown extraordinary abilities, which is totally worth wooing.

Now his prediction of becoming Minister of Magic may be coming true, but the second half of the prophecy is that he may lose his life during his tenure.

This was not good news for Scrimgeour.

Spend some money to have a good relationship with Albert, maybe the other party will give him a hint at a critical moment, and he will help him through the difficulties.

There is nothing wrong with everyone working together for a win-win situation.

"The effect is good?" The three turned their heads to look at Albert.

"I gave Scrimgeour a book with an advertisement for Defence Against the Dark Arts items. It seems that they have agreed with our Defence Against the Dark Arts items." Albert was quite satisfied with the result, as he expected , The field of Defense Against the Dark Arts has completely turned into a cash cow during this period.

"So that's the case, I said how the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic suddenly came to the door." Fred suddenly realized, "I thought it was the advertisement we published in the "Daily Prophet" that worked."

"After they briefly tested the samples you left, their expressions were very wonderful, and then they directly ordered 50 copies from Jialong, but it was a bit rushed. It would be great if you could help." George ate the watermelon and asked Ai Burt complained, "We've been going crazy lately."

"You can find someone to help you." Albert said without hesitation, "Lupin is good. He should be getting married soon, and he must need some money. You can offer him a good salary and let him come over occasionally when he is free. Help, I'm sure he won't turn down this well-paying job."

"Lupin is getting married?"

Fred and George looked at each other with surprised expressions. If they hadn't heard the news from Albert's mouth, they wouldn't have believed it anyway.

After all, being a werewolf is the biggest obstacle.

"It should be soon, next year." Albert said without hesitation, "Remember to keep it secret. If you say something, it may affect the result."

"Who is Lupin going to marry?" Fred asked gossiply.

"I think you'd better pay attention to the business. This kind of opportunity to make money won't last long." Albert reminded: "It's only two years at most, so you have to seize the opportunity to make a good profit. In terms of product quality, Under the circumstance of meeting the standard, try to spread word of mouth as much as possible, and then it will be a smooth stream in the future.”

The three looked at each other, a little surprised that Albert asked them to hire someone.

However, they are really busy now. They have been living directly in Diagon Alley recently. They are busy until late every day. Fortunately, there are house-elves to help, otherwise life will not know what it will be like!

"We'll find time to ask Lupin's opinion, if he's willing to help."

"Defense against the Dark Arts props should be combined into various packages, sold in a package at a lower price than the unit price, and accompanied by a guide for correct use." Albert began to instill sales methods to the three, "We should properly teach them how to save themselves, For example, if a dark wizard tries to break into your home, how should you protect the lives of yourself and your family."

Albert spoke slowly, and listed the preventive and protective effects of the defense against the dark items, and packaged these items into a package to sell to those wizard families who lacked a sense of security.

"You can try the effect of the package first. If the effect is good, you can take the time to ask Lupin, Moody and others for various self-protection measures." Albert continued to say to the three, "You can give them a Galleon Make consulting fees, or provide some Defence Against the Dark Arts items for the Order of the Phoenix."

"Look, this way not only us, the Order of the Phoenix, but even the wizards who bought those Defense Against the Dark Arts packages can benefit from it, and can better protect their own safety during this turbulent period." Albert continued to flicker. His words are actually correct, but what the real effect is, there is no real practice test, it is really hard to say, but at least it is worthy of the other party's Jialong.

As Abbott said, this is an offer that everyone can benefit from.

"At that time, we can also develop corresponding defense against the dark arts props based on the suggestions of Moody's group." George thought Albert's proposal was very good.

"I think the name of the store should be changed." Lee Jordan couldn't help but complain, "It would be nice to call it a Defense Against the Dark Arts store."

"We just want to make money now, and Albert also said that this kind of business won't last long." Fred and George didn't care about Lee Jordan's complaints, and took out their notes seriously and wrote down Albert's Opinion.

They never thought that it could be like this before, and it was Albert's brain.

Those proposals are entirely doable.

It is not difficult to see the situation of ordinary wizards from the Ministry of Magic brochures received last time.

The safety measures for dealing with Death Eaters mentioned in the booklet, several of them have read it, it is simply rubbish.

Later, I secretly changed it, and shamelessly copied some of the contents of Albert's "Guide to Self-Defense".

The Ministry of Magic doesn't care about the lives of other wizards at all, otherwise those pamphlets wouldn't be so hip, and it's not surprising that the Ministry of Magic recommends everyone to buy the "Guide to Self-Defense" one day.

With the Ministry of Magic unreliable, they had to rely on themselves to protect themselves.

In the following time, Albert continued to instill the next strategic direction to the three, and by the way let them know that they are not just making money now, but are still contributing to the cause of justice. Possibly helping the Order of the Phoenix), fighting for great ideals, (supporting Harry, fighting for the defeat of You-Know-Who and restoring peace to the Ministry of Magic), or helping everyone, (teaching everyone to protect themselves in turbulent times), so many plus Together, I believe that Fred, George and Lee Jordan must have enough motivation to work hard.

After Albert's teaching, the three people who regained their spirits were all satisfied with what they were doing now.

Albert is also very satisfied. These two years are the best time to make money. If you want to get rid of poverty and get rich, you have to work harder.

As for someone jealous to steal business, Albert is not afraid at all. He spent so much time researching and planning, how could he be easily cracked and robbed of the final result, and as long as the brand is sold, others cannot be opponents at all. .

God knows whether the quality of the fake products can pass the test. If at a critical moment, the black magic defense props suddenly fail, it will be terrible?

Certainly no one wants to make fun of their own life.

The most important thing is that Arthur Weiss will become the director of the Office of Detection and Seizure of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Items.
