The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 359 Enlightenment

After coming out of the Weasley joke shop, Lane and Hermione met Percy who hurried over.After seeing Ryan, Percy's eyes lit up and he said to Ryan, "Ryan, can I talk to you alone?"

"Okay." Ryan glanced at him and nodded, and asked Hermione to wait for him at Florin's Cold Drink Shop first, and then went to an unobtrusive place next to the joke shop with Percy.

"Okay, what do you need my help with?" Ryan looked at Percy and asked, looking at his anxious expression, Ryan guessed what Percy was looking for him at once.

Sure enough, after seeing that no one was eavesdropping around, Percy talked about the troubles he had encountered recently. "For the past two days Fudge and his cronies have been preaching that everything is normal in the Ministry of Magic, but my father told me that now the darkness is coming, and that the man may even return. I don't know who to listen to now."

"It's very simple." After listening to Percy's narration, Ryan felt that he was now in a much better state than the state of denial for his own ambition at the same time in the original book, so he didn't mind pushing things in the right direction. "What's on your mind?"

"Well, I think what my father said is a bit exaggerated. The situation may not be that bad. But Fudge's way of saying that everything is safe and sound is pure nonsense. I have found that dark wizards are less active than before when I am on the field recently. Not to mention worrying about those ten notorious Death Eaters jumping out and attacking me." Percy said his choice after a few seconds of silence.

"So you know in your heart that the situation is deteriorating now, but you don't intend to admit this fact because you are worried that you will not be able to keep up with Fudge and the others and affect your work in the Ministry of Magic." Seeing that Percy was about to open his mouth to argue, Ryan interrupted him with a wave . "I can only say that you are not smart to do this. It is not a good thing to fall out with your family because of a job, especially when you insist on a lie."

"I'm sorry, I really—" Percy covered his head with his hands and knelt down in pain. It seemed that this matter had tortured him for a long time.Fortunately, everyone around was so attracted by the items in the joke shop that no one noticed them.

"Here." Ryan handed over a bottle of high-quality malt wine, and then said: "I understand you, I read the "Daily Prophet" this week and found that the Ministry of Magic has expelled several hempseeds and hybrids who insisted that the situation is not good Wizard. If it weren't for your father being the patriarch of one of the sacred 28 families and his position is relatively marginal, he would probably be expelled too, but Fred and George said that he is somewhat ostracized by the Ministry of Magic. In this case you want to keep It's understandable that you struggle with your position, as I know you've always hoped to get ahead in the Ministry."

"Yeah, so I'm conflicted now. I really can't fight with Fudge face to face like my father did. But I really can't accept what Fudge is doing recently. The Irishman on my team last week Was attacked and is still in St. Munger. This is because Fudge insists that everything is fine, let us go to some of the more dangerous places to perform missions as usual with insufficient manpower and equipment. I submitted the report and hoped that Improve the current problem, but the old woman named Umbridge called her to the office for approval for more than an hour." Under the influence of alcohol, Percy spoke his mind.

"Well, let me analyze it for you." Looking at Percy's expectant eyes, Ryan analyzed: "What you are worried about now is that if you insist on the view that the situation in the wizarding world is deteriorating, then you may be sidelined or directly Fired, right?"

"That's it," said Percy, taking a sip of his ale.

"I would like to ask Mrs. Burns, the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, what does your boss say about the current situation?"

"Of course she objected. Most of the people who have been injured recently are from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Because we sometimes have to be on the front line of facing the dark forces, and we are not trained enough like Aurors or strikers." Training. However, she has no good solution to this phenomenon. I saw her go to the office of the Minister of Magic several times, and quarreled a lot. Unfortunately, not only did the problem not be solved, but Fudge reduced the allocation of our department " said Percy helplessly.

"Since this is the case, I suggest that you be consistent with your immediate superior in this regard." Ryan said, "As long as you don't take the initiative to express your views publicly, even if Fudge is the Minister of Magic, there is no way to fire you. "

"As for marginalization." Ryan paused. "There will definitely be marginalization, but Fudge's lies cannot last for too long. After a full ten Death Eaters are freed, I think there is a great chance of causing damage. In this case, Fudge's time in the Ministry of Magic is also It won't be too long."

"Well, what if they don't destroy?" Percy asked an important question.

"If they don't destroy it, the situation will be even more serious. Think about who can make ten crazy and brutal Death Eaters give up destroying and lurk quietly?" Ryan pointed out the key point inside. "If this happens, Fudge is likely to become the most unpopular Minister of Magic in the past century. You can imagine what will happen to his followers." Ryan shrugged after saying this.

"Okay, I see." Percy took another gulp of his drink. "Do you have any other suggestions for me?"

"You can keep silent on this issue these days, but you'd better tell the truth on the side of your subordinates. Because you are the front-line personnel, they can stay in a safe office like Fudge. Once you believe Fudge's lies You are likely to be the first batch of victims. So my personal suggestion during this period is that you try to get along with your colleagues and subordinates as much as possible, and provide some help within your ability. This way, being united can make it easier for you to get through this difficult time smoothly. At the same time, it can accumulate a valuable network of contacts for you. You must know that in such an environment full of crises, it is generally easier for people to build friendship and trust.” Ryan pointed out some methods based on Percy’s personality, hoping that he will It is possible not to go down the wrong path like the original text.

"I see, you told me a great way, thank you!" Percy raised his head and drank the last sip of wine in the bottle. "Now I will call my three subordinates to visit the injured Irishman in St. Munger, and then I will find a way to train them well recently, so that they will not live in St. Munger like the Irish."

After finishing speaking, Percy said goodbye to Ryan and was about to leave, but Ryan stopped him. "By the way, you have this card. With this card, you can buy one product related to Defense Against the Dark Arts with a [-]% discount every month, and all other products are [-]% off."

After speaking, Ryan handed over a gold card, which is the highest-level VIP card in the Weasley joke store.Only ten cards can be issued each year, and Ryan has the right to send five of them.

"—thank you." Percy was a little embarrassed at first, but he reached out and took the card after thinking of his subordinates who were injured on the bed due to official duties.Then he shook hands with Ryan before leaving.

"Five o'clock shift point, change Percy's attitude." The system made a sound at the right time, and Ryan also had a smile on his face.He was very happy to be able to help the Weasleys. After all, they are good people and should have a happy life.
