The Great Writers of Hogwarts

Chapter 79 Life and Hope

The first time Lupine saw the contract in his hand, he felt that Andre was joking with him.

Such a generous salary is much better than some head-scratching positions in the Ministry of Magic.

Calculated in this way, the salary he can get in "The Quibbler" in one year is almost enough to rent two shops in Diagon Alley, which is more than the sum of the Galleons Lupine earned in the past ten years!
After working in "The Quibbler" for three years, Lupine estimated that he would be able to live a life of financial freedom!

"Andre, did you get the wrong contract?"

Lupine looked at the contract and shook his head.

"How can there be such a salary for new employees? I can't find it in the magic world."

Andre said lightly.

"Mr Remus, of course our family is not running a charity.

I offer you such a salary, naturally, because you are worthy of this salary in my opinion.

If you can really help me make the character card and continue to improve it, it will have immeasurable economic benefits for "The Quibbler". At that time, I am afraid that you will think that this contract is too small. "

Andre said half-jokingly.

"At that time, you will have to get the original dry stock of "The Quibbler", and I'm afraid that you will be poached away by others.

All right, all right, don't worry, our family is not afraid of losing money when we pay you a salary, so what are you afraid of? "

A look of astonishment appeared on Lu's face.

He didn't expect that he would have such a high evaluation here with Andre.

He thought Andre was just being polite, but looking at Andre's expression, he felt that Andre was serious.

At this moment, Lupine's heart suddenly surged with enthusiasm.

He has been like a lonely ghost in the magic world for so many years. Is it because he has no talent?

On the contrary, his magical ability is very high!

Back then he was able to make the Marauder's Map with James and the others, and his magical talent was also recognized by Dumbledore.

After the war, during his travels in the magic world, because he didn't have any other distractions, his research on magic continued to improve, which was much better than before.

It's just that he has never had a chance to display his talents.

Hearing Andre's approval suddenly at this time, Lu Ping was also excited for a while, and then signed his name on the contract.

After Lupin signed, Andre was relieved.

Lupine, a rare talent, is finally bound to "The Quibbler". With Lupine's joining, the character card matter should be sure.

In this way, not only "The Elder Scrolls" can exert its full charm, but also all future works can be similarly adapted, which greatly improves reader stickiness.

Whether it is the influence and income of "The Quibbler", or the degree of Andre's reaping response, it will be of great help.

Therefore, Andre did not hesitate to invest in Lupine.

As soon as Lupine signed the contract, Andre took out a money bag and stuffed it into Lupine's hand.

As soon as the purse was in his hands, Lupine felt his palms sink. The weight was really unusual.

Andre said with a smile.

"Okay, this is an advance of your one month's salary, as for how to use it, it's none of my business."

"Anyway, from today onwards, you are the head of the technical department of our "The Quibbler".

Well, it's getting late today, you go to solve your personal problems first and settle down as soon as possible.

We'll discuss work matters tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning. "

Lupine was taken aback by Andre's arrangement, feeling like he was dreaming.

I have always wanted to find a job, but now I have it?
At this moment, Lupine suddenly thought of something and said to Andre.

"By the way, your family doesn't seem to know about me. Their opinions..."

Andre waved his hand.

"Okay, okay, I will explain to my family members that none of our family discriminates against vulnerable groups.

When the moon is full every month, you can take time off and make up for the delayed work.

Have an opinion?

If you have no objections, go back and rest and settle down.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy. We have to rush to get the project online this week, and it is estimated that we will have to work overtime. "

After Lupine left from the Lovegood's house, he looked at the contract in his hand for a long time and didn't come back to his senses. He still felt like he was in a dream, and walked all the way back to the Weasley's house in a daze.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were already waiting for him here. Seeing Lupine returning in a daze, Mr. Weasley asked with concern.

"Lupin, what's up, what were you talking about?"

Only then did Lupine come to his senses.

"Andre hired me to be the technical supervisor of "The Quibbler". Currently, he wants me to help him develop a character card or something like that. The contract has already been signed."

The Weasleys were overjoyed to hear the news.

They were all too aware of Lupine's situation, and they all knew that Lupine had longed to have a normal job.

It's just that even in the past, even if Lu Ping succeeded in taking office, it wouldn't be long before he would be boycotted because of his status as a werewolf.

They were all happy for Lupine now that he was in The Quibbler.

Mr. Weasley patted Lupine on the shoulder excitedly.

"Then you should be happy, why are you so absent-minded?"

Lupine smiled wryly.

"I'm a little happy, but I also feel that this matter is not too easy, and the salary offered to me is too high.

To be honest, Arthur, I don't know if Andre did it for your sake. "

Mr. Weasley shook his head decisively.

"Impossible, don't worry, this kid Andre is very serious about his work, "The Quibbler" is the lovegood family's painstaking effort, and he will never affect "The Quibbler" because of his personal relationship.

Since he said that he needs your technology, he must have discovered the great use of this technology.

Just like our Weasley family was considered by him as an agent, we also thought it was unbelievable at the time, but it later proved that Andre's vision was extremely correct.

On this point, Lupine, you have to trust Andre. "

Hearing Mr. Weasley's words, Lupine took a deep breath, nodded slowly, and put the contract in his pocket with great care.

That night, Lupine did not spend the night elsewhere, but stayed in the shabby house.

It's just that even in the middle of the night, Lupine still tossed and turned without sleepiness, and the events of the day were replayed over and over again in his mind.

Andre's previous questioning of him still reverberated in his heart, making him feel ashamed when he thought of his passive avoidance behavior in the past ten years.

And the prospects put forward by Andre, whether it is uniting werewolves, fighting to improve the discriminatory environment of disadvantaged groups, or creating great value at work, make Lupine toss and turn and cannot sleep.

Lupine thought it was amazing now.

A ten-year-old child, who has not even entered Hogwarts, knows this, and can even be called his own life mentor.

The more he thought about it, the more he had to admit that there might really be geniuses in the world, and Andre was that kind of person.

After taking out the contract and reading it again, Lupine couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up from the bed, opened his suitcase, and found the records when he and James were developing the Marauder's Map.

Rushing, Rushing, Lupine recalled these curses that have passed for many years, and structured his own thoughts according to some needs described by Andre today, and planned to discuss them with Andre tomorrow.

The candles flickered, and looking out at the night sky, Lupine felt a sense of reassurance for the first time in ten years.

The word "future" seems to be no longer so hopeless, but a glimmer of hope can be seen instead.
