Felix watched Ginny and Luna leave the classroom holding a replica of Goblet of Fire together. To be honest, this thing is not light, but he also wisely did not recommend them to use magic.

They are very smart, they should just not want to, instead of not realizing that they can use the Levitation charm to reduce weight... right?

……

The next morning, it was the weekend again, he calmed the sniff of bed, and walked through the office fireplace to Diagon Alley.

Felix walks on a long cobblestone road with crowded restaurants and shops on either side. Huge umbrellas lie in front of some shops. The sign of the Florean ice cream shop is warm and yellow. Shining under the bright light.

Even if he intuitively feels it with his eyes, he can judge that the "future world" company is developing very well-along the way, he can often see large and small magic lights through the shop windows. They are like a drop of water, blending into the center of London's magic circle.

At the head office of the future world company, he unexpectedly saw a large crowd of people crowded at the door, noisy and lively. At the same time, some people came out with a smile.

Two staff members at the door calmed the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be crowded, everyone can take their turn." He put one or two people in from time to time.

What is going on here?

Felix stood by and stared for a moment, stepping forward, and the crowd separated automatically, "Wait, this gentleman... Are you Mister Haip?" The staff who stopped in front said in surprise , Then looked at him with admiring eyes, and led him into the vertical castle building.

"Mister Haip, please come in, I want to maintain order." The staff member said respectfully.

Felix nodded, climbing up the stairs, tightening the sight of the hall.

This place has completely changed its appearance.

He still remembers that this place was originally empty and covered with dark floors. Looking straight up from the center of the hall, you can directly see the top chandelier, with a circular arc on the side. Steps connect each layer of the castle.

What impressed Felix most was that he, Snape and Lupin fought here, and then discussed the company's development plan together.

But the hall in front of him looks like a museum of gold and jade in glorious splendor, with crowds in it.

The young witches pointed fingers at more than a dozen showcases, which should have been newly developed products by the company’s researchers, and a few staff members wearing uniforms were busy next to them.

"Professor Haip." said a girl with long curly hair.

"Clearwater," Felix said to the person next to him, "The company has changed so much, I can't recognize it."

"This is the result of everyone's hard work. "Penelope said with a smile, and at this moment, they walked up the winding stairs to the second floor. She introduced as she walked: "Opening up the lobby of the First Layer is Kremy's proposal. We put out some of the products that are not completely finalized, and regularly invite outsiders to visit and try them, and pick out useful suggestions for modification."

"I saw it, you guys are doing very well." Felix slightly nodded, and said with emotion: "Maybe I should give you a salary increase."

He stood on the railing on the second floor. Place, looking down from above.

A young witch put on an emerald crown with the help of the staff, and then there was an exclamation in the crowd. Her whole person was shining with a crimson light, and her hair became The light white frost color, the magic brilliance intertwined, stretched down her neck, in the eyes of everyone's admiration, put on a light Princess dress, blossoming gorgeous flowers in the skirt The edge of the pendulum is in full bloom.

"How much is this! I want this!" witch shouted. She looks like a Princess now, and every inch of her skin shines with a dazzling luster.

"This is not for sale, and we are still experimenting with the effect..." The staff had to work hard to explain.

Twenty or thirty feet away, a little curly-haired boy with purple hair blows out a sea-blue color bubble, and wraps his younger brother in it. The bubble looks very tenacious. Floating with the baby inside at a height of two or three feet. The baby sits in the bubble and stretches out his chubby hand towards a budding Clivia, but is blocked by the bubble. When the sea-blue color bubble falls on the bud of the Clivia, the petals bloom little by little, and from the yellow stamens, a Fairy Maiden Hua the size of a thumb flashes quickly around the baby, attracting a burst of "ge ge" Laughter.

Their parents carefully accompany each other, repeatedly confirming if there are any problems...

Felix continues upstairs, he asks: "How is Percy's work at Ministry of Magic? "

"He?" Penelope sighed, "He is too busy, especially want to make some achievements, and just in time for his boss Mr. Crouch to take a long vacation, can only give instructions through owl, which gives He was left with full autonomy, and a lot of small things can be decided by himself...He is addicted to it..."

She said with some dissatisfaction: "He said to me that he wanted to live in the ministry, but he was I stopped."

Felix stopped. His impression of Percy came from hard work in study and rigid stubbornness in daily life, as well as an extreme lack of humor. Although he doesn't like to talk about what a joke himself, at least he can hear it and is willing to applaud, but these behaviors are invisible to Percy.

According to the original words of Mrs. Weasley, "The decision he made, ten cows can't be brought back."

Felix looked thoughtful at Penelope.

"Can you persuade him?"

"Usually...yes." Penelope was a little strange, but still replied.

"Yeah." Felix nodded.

They came to the third floor and pushed open a solid wood door. Inside was a spacious room. Lupin and a few people stood together and talked seriously.

In the center of the room, there is a huge wormwood-colored canvas like a portrait, on which is the moving image——

Two refined magic puppets are going on a show Dueling, blue lightning and orange flames cross each other. Puppets are obviously controlled by people, and they often use terrain to avoid attacks when they are not allowed to happen, and their actions are natural and smooth. Several researchers underneath watched intently, exclaiming from time to time, or inhaling due to the intense action scenes.

Felix is ​​keenly aware that this is not a magic painting with spell applied, but a kind of live broadcast, because he saw Kremy Vera and Arik McGee surrounded by everyone ——They are commanding the puppets under the canvas screen, and a huge camera-like thing is facing the "battlefield" between them.

Seeing Felix coming over, Lupin walked over quickly. He complained: "If it hadn't been for owl to send letters, I thought you were missing."

"Didn't I be here before?" Felix said embarrassingly.

"Indeed," Lupin clicked nodded and said softly, "Let me think about when, if my memory has not been modified, I saw you last week, no, it was Through the sound transmission mirror, it’s last week? That’s your Patronus—two formulas for alchemy. Or last week? I remembered it wrong, it’s actually Dobby..."

"Cough cough!" Felix turned his eyes quickly and changed the subject and said, "Is that the space capsule I told you? It's really interesting..."

They stared at the other side of the spacious room together. The young researcher took out a capsule from the flat metal box, threw it on the ground, "peng" exploded a cloud of white smoke, and threw various sundries from it, such as canvas pieces, kettles, clothes, and even There are a few pieces of firewood...

The researcher groaned disappointedly, "Oh~ still can't..."

When talking about business, Lupin became serious. He retracted his gaze and said to Felix: "Ministry of Magic still refuses to let go. You know, they control Extension Charm very strictly."

"You don't have to worry about the obstacles from Ministry of Magic. "Felix said.

Lupin stared at him. "The people in the Magic Item Control Bureau don't say that."

"Don't worry, Remus." Felix comforted him, "As long as they It is also allowed to carry the magic item of Extension Charm for public sale, whether it is a tent or something... Even if there is only one type, the world company will be able to get permission in the future."

"The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is to do it. For the tamper-proof part, the use of the product must not be changed.” Felix stared at the young wizard who was experimenting in the distance and said, “It’s not allowed to carry living things, especially people.” He thought about it and added: “It’s better to urge the Ministry of Magic perfects this part of the law and makes clear regulations on the size of the space allowed for expansion..."

"Your words are as if the Ministry of Magic was opened by your home, I am not as confident as you ." Lupin murmured, but Felix pretended not to hear him clearly. He took Lupin's shoulders and led him to a huge workbench with various scattered items on the table.

The constant temperature locket, magic lamp, sound transmission mirror, emerald crown... There are so many dazzling people.

"Well, you can give me an introduction, what are the new products, and how is the company's recent development?"

"Currently we have seventeen products. But twelve types are still being improved, including those in the hall...the remaining five types, plus Weasley twin brothers' couple mirrors-we changed the name to sound transmission mirrors when we sold them, because they still can’t reach long distances. Delivering images-sales have already begun in seven branches."

"Not counted as foreign orders..."

Lupin showed an expression of appreciation, "Quiddich world cup The light show was very successful. We received a large number of orders one after another. The manpower was not enough and we had to cooperate with the owl post office."

While speaking, a brown owl flew in along the castle window. Circling around Lupin for two weeks, drop a letter.

He hurriedly opened the letter and took a look, then he explained: "It is asking about the time to market for the product. Your strategy is very effective. When we send out the magic light product, we also give it a gift The list of products to be launched...Many people wrote to ask."

He finally said: "Counting those foreign companies, the'Future World' company already has more than one hundred employees. Even There are not so many people in "Daily Prophet"."

Felix was not enough, "Continue to expand. There are not enough staff to continue recruiting."

Lupin looked at him hesitantly. Enough. Although the company has been busy recently, it is because the company is still in the development period. When it runs smoothly in the future, it will not need so many people."

The number of companies in Magic Circle is actually quite small. Mainly because the entire Britain has only 20,000 or 30,000 wizards, plus the convenience of magic, only a few skilled employees are needed.

And this kind of small company often becomes the industry of a certain family, and only recruits people every ten years. To a certain extent, his "future world" company is an alternative-according to the current momentum of development, if you don't step on the brakes, it may only take two or three years to surpass Ministry of Magic in terms of numbers.

Felix looked at Lupin, his light blue eyes met him, and he calmly said:

"For a long time to come, I hope that the company will develop Period, as for smooth operation...maybe after you retire."
