Chapter 1612 A War Without Winners (Sixty-two)

"Anyway, it's always right to try hard." Ginny agreed before Qiu Zhang, "Kingsley should be able to officially become the Minister of Magic in a while. In addition to the thugs in the Auror Office, he must train a group of his own people."

Qiu Zhang looked at Ginny with surprise. He didn't expect Ginny to say such a thing. It was almost written on her face that she was forming a clique for personal gain.

"Harry said that." Ginny didn't care about the surprised looks from the two people at all. She simply explained, "Kingsley wants to realize his ambitions, so he must have a group of his own people, and Hermione obviously agrees with his own people."

"Albert also gave me similar advice."

But that's not what she wanted.

The main reason why Hermione wanted to join the Ministry of Magic was that she hoped to speak for house-elves through the Ministry of Magic and protect some of the rights of house-elves, rather than letting wizards continue to regard them as slaves who can be beaten and scolded at will.

Of course, Hermione never talked about this with other people, because she knew they couldn't understand it. Even the very open-minded Albert didn't agree with her approach and thought she would get frustrated.

"Maybe Albert thinks you will have a career in the Ministry of Magic."

Qiu Zhang was willing to believe Albert's judgment, just as Cedric said: he can see the future.

"I remember that the witch beauty shop will officially open in a few days."

Perhaps because she felt that the previous topic was too heavy, Ginny found another topic that everyone liked.

"It seems that the newspaper said that the witch beauty shop has a discount when it just opened." Qiu Zhang was indeed a little curious whether this multinational brand was as effective as the legend said.

There is no young girl who doesn't love beauty.

"Then call everyone to go together." Hermione suggested.

"I heard that the owner of the witch beauty shop is a big beauty, and they are the best endorsements for their own products." Qiu Zhang shared the gossip he had heard with Hermione.

"They are indeed all beauties." Hermione had seen the photos in advance, nodded in agreement, and smiled and reminded, "You should all know them."

"Oh, who is it?"

Both realized who Hermione was talking about.

"Albert's wife Isobel's sister seems to be called... Katrina. I remember she seems to be a Ravenclaw girl!"

After noticing the curious looks from the two girls, Hermione explained, "Last time when Albert went to Australia to pick me up, he mentioned it casually. He said that I am good at potions, and even if I don't stay in the Ministry of Magic in the future, I can consider helping out at the witch beauty shop."

"The witch beauty shop is actually opened by Katrina." Qiu Zhang was a little surprised, not because Katrina opened a shop, but because she obviously knew Catherine and Valeria, and had a good relationship with them.

Because of the witch beauty shop, these two girls were popular among girls all over the world and became symbols of independent and strong women.

"Any questions?"

"Katrina is indeed a beautiful girl." Qiu Zhang quickly recalled some gossip about her and said in a low voice, "I haven't heard that she dated anyone during school, but many girls are saying that she likes Albert, but her sister got the first one."

This is undoubtedly something that everyone is happy to talk about. There are a lot of girls who like Albert, but it is rare for two sisters to fight for a boyfriend.

In the end, there is no doubt that Isobel won.

"More than just liking."

Hermione thought that Katrina, like her sister, had become Albert's closest family.

However, this matter is really explosive for most people, and it is estimated that there are few similar cases in the entire British magic world.

In the following time, the three of them got together to study Hermione's product catalog, and after listening to Hermione's description of the effects of the products she had used, Qiu Zhang set his eyes on the product Hermione mentioned, and was also very interested in whether the witch beauty shop that was about to open was as magical as the rumors.

However, Hermione, who knew more secrets, did not have the same small expectations as the two of them. She actually hoped to take time to attend the welcome dinner of Catherine, Valeria and Louise.

Yes, Hermione wanted to attend that party.

Attend as Albert's lover.

After all, Albert's lover would appear, and she really didn't want to miss it.

Since she made an unbreakable vow with Albert, Hermione knew that she would be deeply tied to that man for the rest of her life.

It is undeniable that this matter did make Hermione a little worried at first, but after clearly feeling the changes in everyone's attitude towards her, her mentality gradually changed.

Yes, she was accepted, no longer Albert's lover, but a member of their family.

This made the shy girl who tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time want to go deeper into Albert's life and get more love!

However, Hermione could not attend the welcome dinner because it was not good for her to disappear at night. Doing so could not be explained to others, and it would definitely make others suspicious of her.

She felt sorry for it.

No wonder Katrina said she was asking for trouble.

The private communication between the three was finally interrupted by the appearance of Hagrid.

"Hagrid, where did you get the watermelon?"

Looking at the basket of watermelons, Ginny picked up her wand and cut one to share with everyone.

"Albert just sent it. It seems that he grew it himself." Hagrid finished half of the watermelon in a few bites, and seemed to think of something. He patted his head with his hand and took out a bag from his pocket and handed it to Hermione.

"What is this?" Hermione took the file bag.

"It seems to be a design drawing. I don't know." Hagrid said that he just sent the things over.

"Where is he?"

Hermione opened the file bag and took a look at the things inside. It was a power supply design drawing, which was a bit similar to the one she made. It should be an optimized version of her own.

"I'm discussing the planting of dangerous plants with Professor Sprout. He seems to be planning to solve the supply problem of some raw materials himself." Hagrid scratched his head, "However, Professor Sprout doesn't seem very happy. She seems to think that it's too risky."

"It's really dangerous, but it's worth it. Many raw materials are contraband. It's difficult to get them through normal means, and it's easy to be blackmailed. What's more, we don't plan to plant them on a large scale."

A voice suddenly sounded from outside.

Several people turned their heads to look in the direction of the voice, and saw George walking in with a smile.

"How come you have time to come today?"

"Why, you are not welcome?" George shook the metal card in his hand and said with a smile, "I am here to give you a VIP membership card. If you don't want it, forget it."

"What VIP membership card?" Qiu Zhang took the exquisite metal card and couldn't help asking, "What is this thing for?"

"You can enjoy discounts." Hermione explained, "How much?"

"10% off." George said without hesitation, "Ordinary customers need to spend 100 Galleons in the store to get one."

"Robbery." Hermione commented.

"But you have to admit that he has a good business sense." George blinked and said, "We are also planning to imitate him in the near future. The only problem is that the process is a bit troublesome."

"Willn't that make a lot less Galleons?"

George certainly won't tell others that they have decided to secretly raise the price of the joke props invented later.

Raise the price first and then discount, the old routine.
