Chapter 71 Unexpected News
1992 is here. After Christmas, Charles either stayed in front of the TV to watch the news, or went back to practice after opening a nearby boxing gym. During this period, he went to Diagon Alley and asked other friends of the same age to go on stage to fight each other
One round.
The Ministry of Magic's holiday was shorter than Hogwarts. After Sclinger, the director of the Auror office, greeted him, the horseman contacted the office and completed the process as quickly as possible. Minister of Magic Foggy signed without thinking.
Then a staff member from the Ministry of Magic handed over the appointment letter, a bunch of forms and rules to Charles.
Charles called Lupin and Penny the day before school started and began to arrange work.
The first job is to fill out the staff form and run the process. Lupin filled in his own work. Jack, who was watching the fun, helped Penny make up an identity for receiving a salary.
Caroline Shaw, female, 32 years old, was born in Ireland. When she was 1 year old, her family moved to Australia to live. After she developed a talent for magic, she learned a little simple magic from an old wizard, but her level was too low and she couldn't win.
Kangaroo, came to the UK to look for a job not long ago.
The Ministry of Magic is very unfaithful to this marginal department, it doesn’t matter whether people go or not, but Lupin’s handling of the process.
Then everyone discussed the work matters and determined the work process: Charles contacted Penny through the owl, and she purchased the supplies and sent them to the nearby warehouse; then Lupin sent the supplies to the small building rented by Hogmodri as a warehouse, Charles
Things you want from the Horseman will also be stored there; then Lupin sold things under the banner of Hogwarts, and after paying the affiliation fee to Hogwarts, he handed over the proceeds to Jack.
Charles was a little ambitious, he handed over a piece of equipment to Lupin.
"This is a suitcase similar to Newt Scamander." Charles told Lupin, "Diagon Alley custom made, and it can hold a lot of things."
"When you sell specialties everywhere, you can purchase specialties from other places. If you can take advantage of the opportunity to build a sales network, our future profit will be great."
Lupin said to him with some embarrassment: "But someone has already done such a job."
Charles shook his head and said, "They were not doing well enough, they were just doing business with one or two magic schools. This time Dumbledore accidentally opened up all the famous magic schools, and we can take the opportunity to build a bigger one.
Platform.”
"It's a try anyway, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work."
Lupin is just starting work now and is a relative, so he is not easy to refute the face of his new boss, so he agreed: "I'll try it first."
Charles smiled and said, "Okay, how can you know if it's OK if you don't try it?"
Trade with the horse people is on the right track, but the forbidden forest is still too small and the world is too big. If the scale of the business can be expanded, it will not only make some money, but also get strange things around the world.
After Lupin and Penny left, Charles called a nearby cake shop to ask the boss’s wife to make a box of caramel pudding and go to get it in the afternoon.
"What?" Jack asked him curiously, "Has Paul been injured again?"
Paul Ames is an ordinary child living three streets away. He is 13 years old and likes boxing like Charles. The two often fight.
Charles scratched his head and said, "Oh, I didn't stop yesterday and beat him into a panda."
After hearing this, Jack just responded casually and ignored him.
Charles has been hurting people a lot during boxing practice in the past two years, but every time he brings some snacks to visit afterwards.
Before he left the door, Jack reminded Charles: "Be careful, don't mention wolf and similar words in front of Old Lady Ames."
The old lady of Ames's family is in her eighties and lying on a recliner all day. It is said that when she was young, she was almost bitten to death by a wolf in London, so she was psychologically traumatized.
However, the British wolf was killed as early as the 17th century. Charles and Jack felt that she might have been attacked by werewolf and escaped by chance.
Charles replied, "I understand," and then went out.
Ames' family had known that Charles was back, and Mrs. Ames had prepared tea and her best cookies. Paul was waiting at the door with a pair of big sunglasses, and everyone went to the living room to chat.
Mr. Ames is an army officer. He married Mrs. Ames in 1936. Later, he was in poor health after being injured in Normandy Landing and died in the 1970s.
Now that Mrs. Ames lives with her youngest son, Charles is talking to her by the recliner, she asks seriously: "Oh, it's Charles, have you become king?"
Everyone in the living room has no choice. The old man is old and he gets confused from time to time.
Charles echoed there: "In a few years, a few more years."
Old Mrs. Ames now spends every day in front of the TV. After Charles chats with her for a while, she continues to watch TV. Charles chats with others.
Mr. Ames is an officer like his father. He just retired a few years ago and now works in a trading company in London and often goes abroad.
He was a little old-fashioned and was a little dissatisfied with Charles' visit to an unknown middle school, and felt that he wasted his talents.
Mrs. Ames doesn't care, and she keeps urging Charles to eat more cookies as usual.
Paul asked about Harry's situation. He lost a game last summer vacation and wanted to get back the scene.
At this time, an unexpected thing happened. The old lady Ames suddenly shouted in panic, trying to escape from the recliner, but her legs were not good.
Ames and his family hurried to appease the old lady. Charles went to help turn off the TV. Who would have thought that the TV mentioned Volkswagen in Germany and then mentioned Wolfsburg, which aroused the old lady's fear of wolf.
In the past, when the old lady had to go to bed after quieting down, but today it was different.
The old lady reached out and gently stroked her son's face, saying intermittently: "Don't leave the house on the night of the full moon, lock the doors and windows, there will be werewolfs outside."

Paul said on the side: "Grandma, there are no werewolfs in this world."
Charles wanted to ask someone to come and have tea with you, but what happened next scared him.
Mrs. Ames said to her son: "Before Paul, my first husband, he was a werewolf."
The "Paul" she mentioned is Paul's grandfather, but Mr. Ames has never heard of his mother having a marriage before marrying her father, and the other party is a werewolf.
"Mother," Mr. Ames whispered, "you are tired, go and have a rest."
The old lady shook her head gently and continued, "His name is Wilfred Grandton, a PhD in Botany. She brought back two plants in XZ that year, and he was also looking for the same one.
The werewolf of the plant bites in the mountains."
"Wilfred has been studying the plants he brought back after he came back, and he ignored me. At that time, I met Paul."
"Later, Wilfred lost his mind when he became a werewolf and killed several people. In order to steal the plants he brought back from XZ, he killed the werewolf that bit him. When Paul almost killed me, he almost killed me.
Here comes."
"The things that Wilfred left are in the boxes in the basement of the old house. I turned a few pages and it is said that the plants he brought back will bloom in the full moonlight and can also restore the werewolf."

The Ames family thought it was an old man and told stories in a daze, while Charles was stunned by the listening side.
When Charles came home and told Jack about this, the old man was also stupid.
"You'll know when you go check it." Jack said seriously, "The old house of Ames is where his eldest son lives. I'll go there tonight."
That night, Charles was waiting at home in a restless mood, and the old man came back in the middle of the night.
"How is it?" Charles asked anxiously, "Is it true?"
Jack answered helplessly: "The box is not stored well, and the things inside are bitten by insects and rats. The only clue is the Himalayas."
After hearing this, Charles shook his head helplessly. After all, it was his ex-husband's thing, so it would be nice if he didn't take it to weigh the pounds.
Jack sat on the sofa and thought for a while and said, "I'll go to Hangzhou. Brother Xu and his family are a medical family, so I may know."
