Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 25 The employment situation in the British magic world is not good



A few months ago, there was a campus legend quietly circulating among the students of Hogwarts.

If you go into the Hogwarts kitchens at night and answer your questions about the house-elves, you'll be treated to an unexpected meal.

The twin brothers, who did not want to be named, said that one night when they were traveling in the castle at night, they encountered a figure walking towards the basement, so they followed quietly.After the figure entered the kitchen on the basement floor, he said something to the house-elves in the kitchen. The house-elves moved tables and chairs, put a small stove and a copper pot on the table, and then Some kind of magical liquid was added to the copper pot. After the liquid in the pot boiled, the figure used two wands to throw the raw meat slices sent by the house-elf into the pot. Pick up a wand and eat it.

And an international student who did not want to be named said that he just sneaked to the kitchen to make a small hot pot to eat, but was discovered by these two trinkets.

Later, one night when an international student quietly ran out from the common room to eat hot pot, his aunt spotted her and followed her out.However, neither of the aunts and nephews noticed that the praying mantis catching the cicada and the oriole were behind, and the prefect Penelope Crivat and Anthony Goldstein, Teri Bute, Michael Corner, Roger Davis, Marietta Eck Don't wait for a few students from Eagle Academy to gossip and follow behind.In the end, as a result of the largest night outing incident of students violating school rules in the history of Eagle Academy, the secret of Hogwarts late-night kitchen became the public secret of Eagle Academy.

Later, one day when the twin brothers entered the kitchen late at night, they were discovered by Cedric Diggory from the Badger Yard nearby, so the foodies in the Badger Yard also joined the ranks of eating hot pot in the middle of the night.

The last one to know the news was the Snake Academy, which was told by students from other colleges after the relationship between the colleges became friendly.

This kind of development made Zhang Xu a little bit annoyed. Originally, just to satisfy his greed, he sneaked into the kitchen and asked the house elf to make him a small hot pot. It turned out to be a secret meeting place for students.

Fortunately, there are not many students who are willing to go out at night in violation of school rules. Usually there are not many people, and the students just take it as a small adventure. The most frequent occurrences here are those couples who wantonly throw away dog ​​food.

Tonight is the first day of exams in this school year. A group of students who have passed the exams and lovers who are about to graduate come to the kitchen one after another. For a while, the whole kitchen seems overcrowded.

Zhang Xu sat at Zhang Xu's big table, including Zhang Xu, Zhang Qiu, Penelope Crivat, Marietta Ackmore, Cedric Diggory, the Weasley twins and Daphne Greengrass.This big table included students from the four colleges.

There was a separate small pot in front of everyone, and various meats and vegetables were placed on the turntable in the middle of the table.In addition to ordinary mutton slices and beef slices, there are also vegetables and fruits from the herb greenhouse such as walking mushroom slices, mandrake slices, Celia rosehip salad, etc.This is also the reason why Professor Sprout has objections to Zhang Xu.

Everyone chatted while eating, and after talking about their plans for the upcoming summer vacation, they talked about the seniors who graduated this year.

When it comes to where the seniors will go after graduation, the topic becomes a bit heavy.

Among this year's graduates, many have a good relationship with these people, Vivian Woodward and Bobby Charlton from the Eagle Academy, Bobby Moore from the Lion Academy

And Gary Lineker from the Badger School, these are all very high-level students among this year's graduates, but their employment situation is very severe.

There is no other reason. They are from Muggle families. Without a strong family background, they cannot find a good job.

The production relationship in the British magic world is still at the level of small workshops in the Middle Ages. There is no large-scale industry, and agricultural products can only be traded with Muggles, and there are very few jobs every year.

In the British wizarding world, the best job is to work as a civil servant in the Ministry of Magic and eat the royal salary.But many of the official n-generations who can enter there are rich n-generations, and the lowest is a magic family. Graduates without family backgrounds don't expect to get in.

And some famous companies in the British magic world, such as companies that produce magic brooms, print magic books, produce floo powder and magic crucibles, are basically controlled by major families, and only members of each family can enter and work. .

Muggle-born wizards, and even some wizards from ordinary families, after graduation, many can only work as waiters, shop assistants, or self-employed if they have investment.

It would be even worse if they were allowed to return to Muggle society, because in Muggle society they only had a primary school diploma.The best way out is to write novels. The Harry Potter series is so popular, maybe they can write some magical novels to catch the fire, provided that they won't be approached by the Ministry of Magic.Just like the third time-traveling "old town" I found last month, seeing that the history here is different from the history of "hometown", I wrote a full set of Harry Potter and submitted it as the first pot of gold.Fortunately, Mr. Zhao went to the publishing house to drink tea and chat with his disciples on a whim that day. When the editor saw a novel with a magic theme, he showed Mr. Zhao first. Only then did Mr. Zhao suppress the matter, and later he personally funded the fellow with a sum of money. Let him open an animation production company.

No one who sympathizes most with graduate employment is Penelope Crivat, who is Muggle-born.As for the other seven, Zhang Xu can still work as a code farmer. The families of Zhang Qiu, Marietta Ackmore and Cedric Diggory all work for the Ministry of Magic. The Weasley twins and Daphne Greengrass simply It's from a magical family.

At this time, Zhang Xu had an idea, and said to everyone: "If they are allowed to work in Huaxia, I wonder if they would like it. My family runs a potion factory. Several seniors have good grades in herbal medicine and potion classes. Come to my house A job at the Potions Factory would be a good choice."

Everyone at the table was stunned for a moment, with such an operation on their faces.jpg.

Penelope Crivat felt that such an operation seemed to be good at the time, and the expression of the twin brothers seemed to be a good way to die in the East, and Cedric Diggory also showed a thoughtful expression.

The more Zhang Xu thought about it, the more he felt that such an operation was feasible. After eating a piece of walking mushrooms, he sent a message to Vivienne Woodward, Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, and Gary Lineker. The four seniors intend to ask them what they mean.

After the four seniors who were worried about finding a job after graduation came, they ate hot pot while listening to Zhang Xu talk about the job situation, working salary, benefits, etc. of his factory, and felt that working in Huaxia was also a good choice.Zhang Xu gave the four of them the business cards of the factory on the spot, and after thinking about it, they could go to Portland Street for help.

Just as Zhang Xu and the others continued to eat and drink, a thousand origami cranes flew in front of Zhang Xu with a message. This was Dumbledore looking for Zhang Xu.
