HP's profit-seeking

This summer vacation, Danica still lived in the Leaky Cauldron.But she didn't go to the Lihen Bookstore in Diagon Alley to continue working. She wore a big hood and covered herself tightly and went to Knockturn Alley.

There are not a few people dressed like her in the dirty and dark alleys. Everyone is covered in pitch black, and their faces cannot be seen clearly.

Danica walked quickly in the alley, when a witch with black lips approached her, selling the cards on the tray, "Are you here for divination?"

Danica pushed her away and said indifferently, "No. Stay away from me." She continued to stride, walking quickly to Borginberg's.

The store was not much different from her first visit, the black paw was still placed on the counter, and an Egyptian mummy coffin as tall as a person was placed there.The shop was deserted and dark, and there was no one there.

Danica knocked on the countertop a few times, and after a while, a middle-aged man with a hunched body came out. "Hello, what do you need?"

"I'm Edward Abraham, Mr. Boginbock." She lowered her voice, trying to sound like a man.

Mr. Bock was a little surprised, and then he said pleasantly, "It's been almost two years since we first met. It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Abraham. Is there any great invention to sell this time?" ?”

"Not exactly, I am here this time mainly to seek a job as a clerk with you." Danica slowly took off her hood, revealing her young face and red hair, "Reintroduce me Myself, I am Danica Wilson. A fifth year student at Hogwarts."

When Bojinbok saw that the middle-aged man he had been doing business with suddenly turned into a delicate little girl, he couldn't help showing a contemptuous expression on his face. "This is not the place for you, little girl."

Danica took out a stone, slapped it on the table, and crushed it all at once. The stone fragments shot out from between her fingers turned into countless small sharp knives shining red, and pierced into every corner of the store. .She sneered, "Don't talk nonsense to me, I came here two years ago. Don't forget, it's me, a little girl, who has been in business with you these two years."

Danica took off the bulging drawstring bag hanging from her waist, and put it heavily on the table, obviously there were a lot of things inside. "Let's make a new transaction. You provide me with raw materials, and the things I make are sold in your store. I will share [-]% with you. In addition, I will pay my salary as a shop assistant. How about it?"

Bojinbok was a little moved. He knew Danica's strength very well, and everything she made could be sold.

"If you agree," Danica pushed the drawstring bag toward him, "these are small greetings, future boss."

Bojinbok grinned, showing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, picked up the pocket with a smile, opened it, and looked, "Deal, Miss Clerk."

From this day on, Danica started her life as a Bokinbok clerk, and she cast a confusion spell on herself so that the customers who came to the store would not remember her as an ordinary clerk after they left.

Here, she can practice alchemy with all kinds of rare materials at will, and she has also seen a lot of black magic supplies and learned a lot.Refining while tending the shop kept her so busy this holiday season that she only had time to answer one of the three letters Fred sent her.

At the end of July, Fred sent her another letter.Danica opened the envelope, and inside were two sheets of paper.She raised her eyebrows. He must have written a two-page letter.Fortunately, after she took it out, she found that one was a letter and the other was a newspaper clipping.

The people in the black-and-white photos on the clippings are moving. Danica looked at the contents of the clippings first: the staff of the Ministry of Magic won the grand prize! Arthur Weasley, director of the Department of Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Items in the Ministry of Magic, won the "Daily Prophet" "Annual Grand Prix Galleon Award.A jubilant Mr. Weasley told the Daily Prophet: "We're going to spend the money on a summer trip to Egypt. Our oldest son, Bill, is in Egypt doing spell-breaking work for Gringotts Wizarding Bank." The Weasleys will be in Egypt for a month.Back before Hogwarts school starts.Five of the Weasley children currently attend school there.

Danica smiled. The family was lucky.She looked at the photo of the event, the nine members of the Weasley family stood in front of the pyramid, all waving vigorously out of the camera.Mrs. Weasley was short and stout, but Mr. Weasley was tall. All six of his sons must have descended from him. They were all tall, of course Ron, the shortest, was still growing.Ron stood in the middle with his little sister in his arms, and Fred and George stood on either side in identical clothes, smiling brightly.Danica can't tell who's who from the photo.

She picked up the letter from Fred again: Dear Danica, do you think about your handsome boyfriend every day?Your boyfriend is very upset about your slow response time, you may need to coax him.

But Egypt is awesome.I can't believe Dad won the Daily Prophet's lottery! Seven hundred Galleons!George and I suspected he had stolen our Felicia.Although most of the money was spent on this tour, I think it was worth it, we saw almost all the pyramids, you can never imagine how many spells the wizards of ancient Egypt cast on these pyramids.

Plus, Percy is head of the Boys' Council.He became the second president of the student body in the family after Bill, and my mother started talking about us learning from him again.It's just plain bad.Love you Fred.

Danica sent him a short letter back, she could not disclose her work in Knockturn Alley, in the eyes of ordinary people, she was working for the dark wizard.But then she would have nothing to talk to Fred about.Looking at the letter with a few short sentences, Danica thought for a while and stuffed a deformable crystal stone into the envelope, a gadget she made when she had nothing to do.

Reluctantly, Palaser flew away with the letter, and the road to Egypt was not close.A few days later, before Parather came back, a man she knew came to the Leaky Cauldron.

"Harry, why are you here?" Danica, who came back from get off work at night, looked at the little boy who came out from the diagonally opposite door in surprise.

Harry scratched his head, "I inflated Dudley's aunt into a balloon, and then ran out. The Minister of Magic arranged for me to stay here temporarily until the start of school. Why are you here? Does Fred know? Er ... I don't mean ..."

Danica interrupted him with a smile, "Of course, he knows. I live here almost all summer vacation, and I have nowhere to go." She blinked, and Harry felt that the relationship between the two of them was getting closer in an instant.

The days passed, and Danica only saw Harry a few times in the morning or evening, and she always left early and went back to work late.

On the last day of August, Bojinboke counted the income of this month happily, which was much better than before.In a good mood, he settled Danica's wages and let her get off work early.Danica came out of Knockturn Alley with a heavy bag of gold coins.

"Danica? How did you come out of Knockturn Alley?" Fred and George stood outside Florin's Soda.The two of them had grown a lot taller again, and their hair had grown enough to reach their necks.Fred recognized her from her revealing bits of red hair and familiar figure.

The smile on Fred's face slowly disappeared, "What did you do without telling me?" George shrank away.

Danica took off her hood, "Uh... I'm just... well, I'll be honest, I work at Borginboks in Knockturn Alley."

George couldn't help exclaiming, "Cool! I've always wanted to visit Knockturn Alley!"

Fred glared at him, he was completely angry, his tone was rarely stiff and indifferent, "So why did you hide it from me, and even lied to me that you continued to work at Lihen Bookstore? What are you afraid of? Do I object?" He sighed, "Danica Wilson, I am very disappointed in you, I hope you can reflect on it."

He turned and left, and George ran over to give her a hug, "Don't get me wrong, I hugged it for Fred, he talked about the whole summer vacation. But it seems that you had a fight, and he was so angry that he forgot about it. I think he's right, you shouldn't have lied to him, Danica." He strode after Fred as he walked away.

Distraught, Danica unbuttoned her collar and walked in the direction of Gringotts.

After she finished saving the money and returned to the Leaky Cauldron, she saw the Weasley family and Hermione, Mrs. Weasley was holding a lot of things she bought, Mr. Weasley was sitting in the bar reading the newspaper, Fred and George sat to one side.

Danica greeted them all, and Fred pretended not to hear and continued talking to Harry.Mrs. Weasley looked at him suspiciously, and George leaned into her ear and whispered, "They had a fight."

Mrs. Weasley smiled knowingly, and invited her warmly, "Come and have dinner with us, I really like you. The Weasley family has never had a child as smart as you."

Danica smiled and agreed.When it was dinner time, the pub owner Tom put together three tables in the dining room, and the seven members of the Weasley family, plus Harry, Hermione and her, sat down crowded together.Mrs. Weasley also deliberately arranged Danica next to Fred, but Fred kept talking to George, who was sitting on his right, and Danica could only eat quietly.

"How do we get to King's Cross tomorrow, Dad?" asked Fred, as they all tried to eat a luxurious chocolate pudding.

"The Ministry of Magic will provide two vehicles tomorrow."

Everyone looked up at Mr. Weasley. "Why?" Percy asked curiously.

"It's for you, Percy," said George solemnly, "with a little flag on the hat and the initials hb (Headboy Headboy) on it—"

"——It's an incomparably huge head. (The abbreviation of humungous bighead is also hb)" Fred said.Everyone except Percy and Mrs. Weasley laughed.

After the joke, everyone went back to their respective rooms to pack their luggage.Danica had been out once at night and had seen Fred and George squatting in the shadows of the landing, listening to Percy upturning his and Ron's rooms in search of the prefect badge, and they couldn't breathe with laughter Come.

The moment Fred saw Danica, the smile on his face subsided a lot. He didn't speak, but just nodded at her.

Danica ran back to the room feeling bad, lay down on the bed, and stared at the ceiling in thought.

The author has something to say:

1. In the next chapter, Danica, who did something wrong, will find a way to save this relationship.
