Chapter 34 Factory Director Candidate
Back in his office with Tonks, Su Yu found a letter in his mailbox. He pulled it out and saw that it was from Herd, who had voluntarily lowered the price to 200 gold gallons per square meter.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yu understood what was going on. He happily patted Tonks' silver hair and said, "You are truly my lucky star."
Because her magic is sealed, Tonks is currently unable to change her appearance and hair color, which means that she will remain in her current state for the foreseeable future.
"Why?" Tonks blinked her curious eyes. Actually, she had wanted to see it when Su Yu was reading the letter, but she was too shy.
So Su Yu told her about his purchase of a property that morning and how the fairy Hede had offered to lower the price.
Tonks frowned slightly: "Sue, if he can lower the price so much at once, there must be a big problem with this house. I think you'd better not buy it."
"Actually, I've already figured out what the problem is with that house. I'll go and fix it when the time comes, don't worry," Su Yu explained.
Tonks nodded and then asked, "Why are you buying a house? Don't you already have a house in London?"
“I’m planning to open a factory, a magic phone factory. I’ll need a lot of wizard workers, and it will be more convenient to do it here,” Su Yu said.
Tonks exclaimed in surprise, "Really? If that's the case, everyone can use a magic phone! You don't know, Captain Kingsley and the others have been eyeing my phone for a long time."
Su Yu smiled, but in his heart he was thinking, "This is nothing. Once I set up the magic network server, these people will be online every day watching videos of the little witch dancing suggestively!"
Speaking of suggestive videos, Su Yu glanced at Tonks again. She was wearing her wizard robes on the outside, but underneath she was still wearing that vampire maid outfit. If she were to do a suggestive dance in that outfit, it would be absolutely outrageous.
Quickly drawing his wand, Su Yu pulled out some yellowish memory mist from his temple and threw it away, saying, "I'll go with you to Hogsmeade Village tomorrow and buy you some clothes."
Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Tonks also remembered. She pulled open the collar of her wizard robe and secretly peeked inside, her pretty face blushing: "Okay...okay, but Su, you seem to really like this outfit."
Tonks spoke very softly after the sentence, so softly that Su Yu couldn't hear it clearly at such a close distance: "What did you say?"
"N-nothing...where do I live?" Tonks quickly looked up, too afraid to ask a second time.
"This way! Oh, right, Hogwarts also assigned me a house-elf. You can ask her if you need anything, Jingjing!" As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, Jingjing appeared out of thin air in the room.
Su Yu's office has a bedroom on each side. Su Yu usually lives in the right bedroom, while the left bedroom is completely empty. It's perfect for Tonks now.
The next day was Sunday. Su Yu brought Tonks to Hogsmeade Village. Tonks was no stranger to the village, and the two went straight to Madam Malkin's Robes Shop.
In fact, Madam Malkin's clothing factory is also located in Hogsmeade Village, so this can be considered an outlet store, offering not only a wider variety of styles but also lower prices than Diagon Alley.
Buying clothes has always been one of Tonks' favorite things, because she is a natural-born shapeshifter, and she wants to put together a new outfit for herself every time she changes her look.
As a result, Tonks became a spendthrift, spending most of her monthly salary on clothes. Thankfully, Tonks' mother brought her own little savings when she married into the Black family; and thankfully, the wardrobe in the magical world can expand infinitely, otherwise…
Speaking of Tonks' mother, she is actually Sirius Black's cousin, which means that Tonks is Sirius's niece.
In the original story, Tonks married Lupin, who was Sirius's best friend, making their relationship quite complicated.
Now this problem will probably have to be handled by Su Yu, and the relationship between Su Yu and Sirius is even more complicated.
At this moment, Su Yu had obviously forgotten this detail and was happily admiring Tonks trying on one beautiful wizard robe after another.
When you do what you love with someone you love, happiness can definitely be doubled. This is exactly what happened to Tonks. Although she couldn't use her magic, she smiled sweeter than ever before.
In the end, they bought a total of four witch outfits, which were the latest styles from Madam Malkin, corresponding to spring, summer, autumn, and winter respectively. Su Yu liked the summer style the most because it had very little fabric.
What Su Yu didn't know was that in the fitting room just now, Tonks secretly put away that vampire maid outfit, and what he was going to do with it was anyone's guess.
After buying the clothes, the two went to the shop that Su Yu had taken a liking to. They stood there for a while, and Su Yu asked, "Are you interested in coming over and becoming my factory manager?"
"Huh? Me? I can't do it, I know absolutely nothing about alchemy." Tonks pointed at himself in astonishment, saying insecurely.
"You don't need to understand. You just need to keep an eye on the workers and make sure they don't reveal the secrets. It'll definitely be easier than working as an Auror, and the pay will be higher," Su Yu tempted.
Tonks hesitated. It wasn't that she was hesitant about coming, but rather about how to refuse Su Yu. Finally, she said weakly:
"I'm sorry, Sue, becoming an Auror was my dream, and now that I've achieved it, I don't want to give up easily."
Su Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and patted her head, saying, "Why should I apologize for something like this? Everyone has their own desired life, and of course I will support you."
Just as the two were chatting, the fairy Hed, having somehow gotten wind of it, rushed over, panting, and said:
"Professor Su... are you here to complete the transaction? I have already prepared the contract."
It was clear that Hurd was in a hurry, but since he was in a hurry, Su Yu could remain calm and composed. He said unhurriedly, "Mr. Hurd, this is a friend of mine, a current Auror in the Ministry of Magic."
Upon hearing that the other party was an Auror, Herd visibly tensed up, only to hear Su Yu continue:
"Today I asked my friend to take another look at this house. I think we have to postpone the transaction until next Saturday. I need to get my friend's assessment report."
Herd's face visibly darkened. In his eyes, the deal was off, so he could only hang his head and say, "Yes, Professor Su, as you wish."
Su Yu and Tonks pretended to walk around the house a few more times, pointing and chatting for a while, before leaving under Hed's expectant gaze.
Back at Hogwarts, Su Yu took Tonks to the school infirmary, where Madam Pomfrey, Dumbledore, and Snape were all present. The three of them were going to conduct a joint consultation on Tonks that day.
Dumbledore first gave a general overview of the current situation, and then the three of them conducted a magical investigation of Tonks.
Finally, Snape said, "I think the Blood Potion might work. What do you think, Professor Dumbledore?"
Dumbledore nodded, but quickly shook his head and said, "A simple Blood Magic potion probably won't work. The Blood Magic potion can only remove the residual blood in her body, but the damage caused by the blood magic cannot be repaired."
Madam Pomfrey said, "We can try a regeneration potion. As long as the location of the effect is controlled with magic, the existing damage can be repaired. This will require your help, Professor Dumbledore."
“Of course I have no problem, madam!” Dumbledore said with a smile.
Snape glanced at Su Yu and said, "It will take about 30 days to brew the Blood Demon Potion. Some of the raw materials will have to wait for the plants from Professor Sprout's place to mature."
Dumbledore picked up his wand, cast a spell on Tonks, and said, "This spell will temporarily protect you from the effects of the tainted blood and will not aggravate the damage."
"You can stay at Hogwarts without worry during this time. I wrote to Kingsley last night and he agreed to let you stay at Hogwarts for treatment."
“That’s wonderful! Thank you, Professor Dumbledore, Professor Snape, and Madam Pomfrey!” Tonks’ eyes showed no sign of worry, but were full of surprise.
With Tonks' matter settled, Su Yu felt relieved. He asked Dumbledore, "Professor, I plan to open a magical phone factory in Hogsmeade Village."
"But as you know, I am also a professor and cannot manage both at the same time. You have a wide network of connections, so I would like to ask you to help me see if there is a suitable person to be the factory manager. I am willing to offer 1% of the monthly profit as a reward."
Dumbledore also spoke highly of this magical phone, and he is now increasingly accustomed to assigning teaching tasks in the family group chat.
What Dumbledore didn't know was that Su Yu had secretly created a group chat called "Hogwarts Without Headmaster Dumbledore," where everyone would often complain about the headmaster.
For example, Snape often complained that Dumbledore made him brew a tooth-protecting potion, which interfered with his research and normal teaching.
Professor McGonagall complained that Dumbledore was a hands-off manager who didn't care about the school's daily affairs at all.
Professor Sprout would complain that the greenhouse equipment was outdated, which caused many precious herb seedlings to die.
Professor Flitwick would complain that students have too few opportunities for practical combat, resulting in their children having shockingly low actual combat capabilities after graduation.
But Mrs. Pomfrey would counter Professor Flitwick's argument that the young wizards often dueled in private, to the point that the school hospital would be filled with several wounded every day.
As the group admin, Su Yu would only silently watch the professors' complaints in the group, which was quite amusing.
Getting back to the main point, Dumbledore himself was very supportive when he heard that Su Yu wanted to open a factory. He felt that such a good product should be promoted to the entire wizarding world.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Su, I think I have a very good person, someone you know, but he has a little problem every month."
"A little problem every month?" Dumbledore was clearly not talking about menstrual cramps. He recognized the person, and Su Yu had a guess in his mind. He asked:
"You're not talking about Remus Lupin, are you?"
Seeing Su Yu's hesitation, Dumbledore explained, "Lupin has been living a very unhappy life since graduation. Because of his identity, he is ostracized and cannot find a job."
"But he is absolutely a reliable person. You just need to give him a day or two off each month to take care of his own business, and I guarantee he won't cause any trouble."
Su Yu was indeed somewhat hesitant, but his hesitation was not because Lupin was a werewolf, but because of Tonks.
Su Yu felt very comfortable spending the past two days with Tonks. He could see through the girl's thoughts, and he was willing to get close to her.
However, in the original story, Tonks eventually married Lupin. If she were to bring Lupin over, wouldn't that create a rival for her affections?
After a moment's hesitation, Su Yu smiled. From the moment he arrived in this world, it had never been the original story, and a man must have confidence in himself. So he said:
“I think that’s fine. Then please tell Lupin to come to Hogsmeade Village as soon as possible. I need to interview him.”
As for Su Yu, he wasn't really afraid that Lupin was a werewolf. First of all, Hogwarts had Snape, and as long as there was enough money, they could concoct a large amount of wolfsbane potion.
Secondly, Su Yu also conducted some experiments on werewolves while in the United States. He invented a werewolf collar. When worn, the collar would automatically activate and knock out the werewolf whenever it transformed.
Finally, and most importantly, was the perpetual calendar that Su Yu bought from Chinatown.
As we all know, the lunar calendar is a calendar system developed by the Chinese ancestors based on the changes of the moon, and it can accurately predict the day of the full moon.
However, the Gregorian calendar used in Europe has never been able to do this, which means that werewolves can only predict the next full moon date based on their own speculation, which is very random.
With this perpetual calendar, even if things are slightly different in England than in China, as long as Lupin prepares himself on the 14th, 15th, and 16th, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Seeing that Su Yu agreed, Dumbledore was very happy. Lupin had actually been working for Dumbledore all along. When Voldemort was still alive, Lupin was a member of the Order of the Phoenix.
Now Lupin is mingling among the werewolves again, on one hand to find the most heinous werewolves and pass on their whereabouts to the Ministry of Magic through Dumbledore so that the Ministry can carry out their arrest.
On the other hand, Lupin would also persuade the kind-hearted werewolves to stay true to themselves and live as normal a life as possible.
But Dumbledore had always wanted to find a better way out for Lupin, but many of his old friends refused as soon as they heard he was a werewolf.
Dumbledore was very optimistic about Su Yu's magical phone project, but at the same time, something that could change the wizarding world had to be kept under control and not become a tool for the dark wizards to grow stronger.
So he thought of Lupin again and put him in the position of factory manager of the Magic Phone Factory. This would benefit Lupin himself and also allow him to keep an eye on the project to prevent any deviations.
"Yes, Sue, I'll go write to Remus right away. I'm sure he'll be very happy to get this job!" With that, Dumbledore turned and hurried away.
Chapter 35 Quidditch Opening
As the new week began, the students gradually noticed that a beautiful white-haired witch was often seen with Su Yu, and everyone began to speculate about her relationship with Su Yu.
"That must be Professor Su's girlfriend. She's so beautiful, just like I imagined her to be," Ron said excitedly.
"Ron, you're getting way too excited. She's not even your girlfriend!" Harry teased.
Ron immediately retorted, saying shamelessly, "I'll definitely find a girlfriend as beautiful as that someday."
“I really don’t know what you guys are thinking. Do you even know how old Professor Su is? 31! How could he possibly have such a young girlfriend?” Hermione voiced her opinion.
“Why not? There’s an old man named Horn on my street whose wife is 20 years younger than him!” Harry exclaimed in surprise.
Ron added, "That's right, wizards are generally older than Muggles, so it's normal for couples to have a ten-year age gap."
This time, Hermione didn't refute it. She was trying to support her argument, but the phenomenon of older men marrying younger women is also very common in the Muggle world.
Just then, Wood, the Gryffindor Quidditch captain, walked over from the opposite side and grabbed Harry's arm:
"Hey Harry, are you ready? Saturday is your day to shine. Are you confident you can get off to a flying start?"
