Chapter 6
Undercover In Harry Potter Chapter 6
Under Mrs. Bolton's arrangement, Jason entered the house elf under the Ministry of Magic's Magical Creature Management and Control Division to relocate to work in the office and became an ordinary clerk.
This job is a relatively leisurely job, because house elf is usually done in a family from childhood to adulthood, from life to death, and even its descendants have always thought that the master's house Pride in service. And those wizard families with house elf have been reluctant to drive them away. After all, a servant who works hard and obeys orders completely, how can he drive you away?
As for the salary for this job, well, it's not a lot, just two Sickles.
Well, as long as he sits on the bench here for five years, Jason can be transferred to the wild beast office, where the salary is much higher than here.
Jason was holding a cardboard box containing several pots of succulents, two books, a teacup and a small box of tea leaves, standing in front of the office thinking.
Pushing open the door of the office, I saw eight wizards sitting there, five men and three women, old and young.
One of the half-bald wizards heard the door open, looked up casually, then continued to look down at the newspaper.
Jason felt that the scene was awkward for a while, coughed, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Senior, I'm new here, please give me more advice in the future."
In the air Only the sound of flipping the newspaper...
No one paid attention to Jason, he continued: "Where is my desk?"
The three The oldest one among the witches opened the mouth and said: "Just find a table with no one."
"Thank you, sister..." Jason just wanted to be polite. Called elder sister, but seeing that the other party seemed to be about the same age as Mrs. Bolton, he changed his words, "Thank you, Aunt."
After thanking him, Jason held the cardboard box and found a supporter Sit down at the table by the window, then take out a few pots of succulents and place them by the window.
Ministry of Magic's windows have magic attached to them, and the weather they show is controlled by the magic maintenance department.
Jason looked out the window and saw a cloudy look. Well, it doesn't look like the weather is good.
It seems that I have to build a good relationship with the people in the magic maintenance department in the future, otherwise the pots of succulents I raised may not grow well.
After setting things up, Jason looked at the people around him, but they were all silent, one by one reading newspapers, knitting sweaters, and sleeping.
Jason took out a book and thought to pass the time by reading a book.
So, after two hours...
Jason read the two books he brought with him twice.
So boring
Jason was lying on the table, thinking that sleeping might make the time go faster, so he fell back to sleep.
"Tuk tuk, tuk tuk."
Jason was awakened by a knock on the table, and lifts the head to see a bald man standing in front of him.
“en? You... hello, do you need to go through the house elf adoption procedure?”
Jason straightened up quickly, thinking that he finally didn’t need to be so bored .
The bald man said lightly with an expressionless face: "The director is looking for you and told you to report to his office." After that, the bald man turned around and left.
The colleague on the side glanced at Jason with a slightly surprised look, but didn't say much.
Jason didn't see this, just thought to himself, this is probably the newcomer's registration, the office director encouraged him, but why did the newcomer come to encourage him after two hours?
If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, you'll know when it arrives.
Jason put the book in the drawer and said hello to the people around him. The people around him didn't say anything, so Jason walked out of the door quickly.
As soon as Jason left, the eldest witch suddenly said, "What do you think the director called that young man?"
"Who knows? , that Young Master has a weird temper, so we don't have to worry about it." The half-bald wizard took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "Does Diana know?"
The red-haired girl in the waist suit responded: "I'm just friends with that Young Master, I don't know the specifics."
Another thin and tall wizard teased: "Could it be that at that time, The director didn't tell you anything?"
Diana sneered lightly and sneered: "It is said that some people who like to chew their tongues will be fired."
thin and The tall wizard twitched his lips, scolded softly, then lowered his head to read the newspaper, suddenly surprised, loudly said: "You read the newspaper!"
"Which day?"
The thin and tall wizard said, "Today's newspaper!"
The half-bald wizard flipped through the pile of newspapers in front of him and quickly found today's Daily Prophet.
Today's front page headline is a follow-up to the Gringotts theft, and below it is an apology news.
"Because of yesterday's mistake by the newspaper office, we mistakenly posted other people's photos in the wrong place, and today I hereby apologize..." The half-bald wizard read word for word, "We mistakenly listed the characteristics of Cornelius Fudge. More than a dozen of the newly elected Ministry of Magic members of the Hogwarts Youth Study Group have their photos published in Phoenix Smuggling Remnants, the following members are marked with red boxes...what study group?"
There are more than ten photos of the study group members below. Among them, Jason's photo is on the top, which is the one from yesterday, and it is also marked with a red frame to indicate it.
The thin and tall wizard pretended to be profound and said, "The Ministry of Magic has never had any youth study group, this time Fudge sent someone to Hogwarts who knows what to do, maybe it is to cultivate cronies ."
After finishing speaking, all eyes were on Jason's photo in the newspaper.
.
house elf The office of the director of the resettlement office is not in the same place as the staff's office, but two corridors after exiting the staff area.
The bald man pointed to the door at the end of the corridor and said, "The director is there, just go in." After that, the bald man turned and left.
Jason wanted to ask a few more questions, but the other party didn't give him the chance at all. He glanced at the door of the office. It was a very ordinary Ministry of Magic office style, and it looked unremarkable.
Jason stepped up and lightly knocked on the door.
A clear, jade-like voice came from the door.
"Please come in."
Jason pushed open the door, and the first thing he saw was a brown carpet spread on the ground. It was soft on the ground, and there was a carpet at the door. Change of slippers.
Jason carefully changed his shoes and walked over to see the man sitting behind the desk.
"Hello Director, I'm Jason Bolton."
"Sit down, you're welcome." The man ordered, and Jason saw a man dressed in a bartender's clothes. The house elf came over with a stool.
Jason sat down as instructed, then the house elf snapped his fingers, poured himself a glass of water from a teapot beside him, and the glass flew to Jason's hand.
Jason took a sip, then surveyed the surroundings.
This office is not like a work place, but a resting study. Behind the desk is a wall of bookshelves that reaches to the ceiling, filled with books.
There is a floor-to-ceiling window on Jason's left side. The warm and hey sunlight falls from the window. Fruit trees are burning in the fireplace on the right hand. Comfortable.
"Director, what do you want me to do?"
The man chuckled and turned around the office chair.
I saw this young director, with silver hair and blue eyes, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and a smile like two crescent moons. He said warmly: "I heard that you were selected by Fudge to be a youth study group, and you still have to. Going to Hogwarts. I wonder what's going on here?"
