Suddenly hugged by Ringo, Penelope didn't feel anything but felt soft after jumping into the familiar embrace, and his tall body was a little soft, and he couldn't help it

"Boom". But Hermione ...... The bones of his body did stiffen instantly. The cute little face was also tense, and he stared at Ringo with shame: "Don't be like this, Ringo ......"

"What's not like that?" Ringo looked at her blankly,

"Isn't this a hug that friends haven't seen in a long time? Is there something wrong? Hermione, why is your face so red? ”

"Ah, don't look at ......" Hermione twisted her face away, and quickly broke away from Ringo's embrace,

"When, of course it's nothing, I just got hugged a little bit all of a sudden, a little unprepared......," she said.

But she quietly found that after she left Ringo's arms, the tall witch Penelope did not leave, but she originally occupied only half of the boy's chest, but she occupied the entire chest at once, so that the two hugged each other very ambiguously, and still did not mean to let go.

Hermione felt jealousy and regret. But her personality supported her and she could only pretend not to see it, and said with a hard face: "My gift was brought to the room by Sister Daisy." ”

"Mine too." Penelope also added that he finally came out of Ringo's arms, only to hook his fingers affectionately on Ringo's arm before leaving completely.

- This is the intimacy that belongs only to lovers.

"Then let's go over too, there are a lot of people, and I'll play with you after my birthday." Ringo naturally walked between the two of them, pulled their arms and walked towards the villa area,

"How about staying here tonight?"

"I'm fine." Penelope replied with a smile,

"It's just a vacation, I didn't expect your house to be so big."

"Just treat it as your own home."

"I ...... I can't, I have to go back. Hemin felt that Ringo wanted to hold his hand, and he was stunned for a moment and then avoided it.

"Dad asked me to go back."

"Well, it's a pity, I'll give it to you." Ringo didn't force it, and talked to the two girls without a match, but his eyes inadvertently swept to the side.

Brush! Beetles slumped down among the flowers. My heart was pounding. Fortunately...... Ringo seemed to only glance at it casually, and didn't find anything, still chatting with the girls affectionately, and by the way, he said that he would have a company commendation meeting after eating before he could play with them......

"Company commendation meeting?" The beetle felt like it had caught something important. I couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised again by the right decision that I sneaked in, not only to discover this

"Ringo Shelby" has two girlfriends at the same time, as well as first-hand meeting materials for the future leader Potions Company......

"I didn't come in vain!"

"No, it's not just that, there are so many people who came to celebrate this boy's birthday?" The beetle excitedly continued to fly in the rear............ It's close to noon.

Ringo's birthday party finally begins. There were a lot of people coming. There were no less than forty students from the same grade alone, including Wesley and Malfoy—many with one or two family members, and fourteen of his subordinates and their families.

and all the Future Leaders Potions employees. Of course. There are also Hagrid, Filch and other adults who have a good relationship, and even Snape showed up, but unfortunately after seeing so many people, he immediately dodged and asked Ringo to find a room to shut up.

And this is just coming. Like the Professor and Dumbledore, they didn't come, but they all sent gifts.

And not just their gifts, but Newt's, Scrimthour's, the malevolent believers, and ...... Fudge's.

Yes. The Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, did not come, but he did send a gift.

Although it was not taken apart. But his gift still brought the birthday party to a climax. - This scene was all filmed by beetles.

Unfortunately, no one noticed a small beetle, and their attention was all shocked by the luxury of Shelby Manor.

No matter who it is. Regardless of age or occupation. You can find something you're interested in here.

The little wizards were playing games. The archwizards discussed bizarre Muggle supplies. So much so that at the end of the preliminary session, when Ringo called a meeting of the Potions Company staff, no one paid attention to the little beetle that had crept in.

Even some people don't pay much attention to it when they see it. Because their focus is all on Ringo.

"We've done amazing things in the past month, and as someone who has experienced it, you must have felt it much more deeply than my boss, whom I don't see all day......" Ringo said with a smile from the guest of honor.

The words just fell. There was a burst of laughter from below. Although it is to give face to the boss. But more than that, as Ringo said, I was deeply touched.

As a wizard who is far away from the Muggle world and does not understand Muggles. The vast majority of employees have experienced the horror of mechanized production.

Especially...... When I saw that they could boil a bottle of potion for a day or even half a day, they could brew hundreds of qualified potions in the same amount of time controlled by just one person.

That sense of impact. Not to mention an ordinary pharmacy apprentice, even a pharmacist with an evaluation is directly stunned.

And since then. They also realized how powerful Ringo's cheap potions were - even though all the potions companies that had relied on price wars to steal the market had failed.

But...... That's because the previous potion brewing was in short supply! What now? How hot is the second-hand potion shop in Diagon Alley?

Who doesn't know? Before the store opened, the total number of reservations was nearly 20,000! And after the opening, there was an endless stream of customers every day, and there was even a queue - the pharmacy actually needed to queue, which is a rare thing in the wizarding world in a hundred years!

As everyone knows. Pharmacies are often the most indispensable but least popular stores on a shopping street. What about the second-hand potion shop?

Relying on a steady supply of goods, standardized control, the endorsement of Potions Master Snape, and the price of the whole site, it firmly occupies Diagon Alley - although the supply of raw materials is somewhat out of supply now.

Under its siege. Originally, the Bobin Pharmacy in Diagon Alley was in a direct slump. I couldn't get in a few people all day, and even if I did, I was just buying raw materials, not finished potions.

"I heard that the boss of Bobin sat in the shop all day and sighed at first, but then he didn't show up at all, and only let a waiter serve the customers...... "The employees chatted privately.

By the way, look forward to the future: "I don't know how much ...... this month's salary will be" at this moment.

They all think the same way. Seeing their expressions, Ringo didn't say much, and after a brief speech, he changed the conversation and said: "Long story short, today's main thing is the commendation conference, so let's talk about rewards first." ”

"Melissa, as a pharmacy researcher and now the head of the company, well, last month's salary increased fivefold...... Congratulations...... "Boom!

Amid the applause, the blonde young woman stood up and thanked her.

"Matthew Cerkel, as a new pharmacist, his achievements allow us to witness his ability, according to the performance commission, the salary is 217 Galleons 4 Sico......"

"Anna Seckel, Salary ......"

"......" bursts of applause, and under the rapid breathing of all the employees, Ringo organized an on-site payment of money, and because of last month's results, even employees who did not have big grades had at least tripled their salaries, not to mention the pharmacist and the pharmacy apprentice, the former almost all exceeded the salary of the Hogwarts professors, and the latter was also close.

This scene. Let the beetles parked above the cupboard secretly staggered - the monthly salary of two hundred Galleons is almost more than himself!

And listen to what people say. All it takes is one person to operate the machine. Instead, it's yourself...... I still have to run around nervously every month to dig up the news, and even many times like today, I have to take risks

"Life" is in danger...... The more it thought about it, the more angry it became, but instead of affecting its own work, it rotated around the conference table to take pictures, trying to get a picture of every attendee...... Of course.

At the heart of it is Ringo Shelby. Because after the prize is distributed. The young boss began to describe the company's next development prospects: "First, expand reproduction, buy more machines, and recruit more pharmacists; ”

"Second, contact the origin of raw materials and strive to reach agreements with many raw material suppliers...... I'll fix that. ”

"Third, prepare to launch, benchmark the luxury market, unify the perfect potion made by the potions master himself, label the master's name and production date, and do a good job in after-sales service ......"

"Four, it doesn't have much to do with everyone, mainly Melissa, I will bring in a group of Muggle pharmaceutical scientists to form a research club, and Melissa you will be the president at that time......"

Ringo waved his hand: "Okay, today's meeting is here, let's go play, after all, it's a holiday today, enjoy it." ”

"Thank you, boss." The employees left satisfied. As he watched them leave, Ringo gradually retracted the smile on his face, and he reclined in his chair, his right hand on his temple, kneading gently.

Looks tired.

"This can be used as a cover." The beetle was about to leave, but when he saw this scene, he took a few pictures of it before flapping its wings and preparing to leave.

And yet - not waiting for it to pass through the door. Bang! There was a loud bang coming from the front, but the door that had been open was shut.

"What's going on?" The beetle had just risen to the idea. A surging young voice came from behind him: "Miss Skeeter, are you in such a hurry to leave?" No more shots? "What?

The beetle shuddered, and the cold spread from its head to its wings. Almost instantly. It slammed into the window next to it, its legs clenched and its wings fluttering at maximum speed.

However, it is only a beetle after all. Even at the highest speeds. In the eyes of the wizards who were already eyeing it, it didn't have much effect.

Syllable! Just as it flew to the window and was about to rush into the vast sky, a white light struck it from behind, and the next moment, the beetle froze.

The whole one fell. At the same time, it is constantly squirming, as if it wants to struggle. But alas. With a flying spell.

It was dragged and landed on the table in front of Ringo, and with a thud, it was covered by a glass cover: "Miss Skeeter, you are too dishonest, come to me, you have to say hello." Ringo stared at it leisurely.

However. The beetle, which had been very intelligent just now, seemed to not understand at this time, crawling around in the glass cover like a real beetle.

"Do you think I don't know how to turn you into a human?" Ringo swung his wand,

"You can keep pretending, as long as you're not afraid of being sent to the Ministry of Magic by me, oh beetle, a reporter's Animagus is a beetle, but I've never heard of it, it must be illegal, right? Like Peter Pettigrew? I heard that once caught, it would ...... "The beetle finally stopped camouflaging."

It stopped. Looking at Ringo, waving his wings, he pulled out a quill out of nowhere, and as soon as the thing came out, he wrote on the glass cover: "How do you know it's me?" "Traceless Stretching Spell Creation?

Ringo watched as it pulled out the pen, thinking that it should have something like that on it. Meantime. He took out the Shelby Manor Charm map on the table and placed it in front of the beetle, "See your name?" Rita Skeeter, I was at a loss at first, I had never invited such a famous reporter, and even if the reporter came, how could I not see people? ”

"Until you see me?" The quill wrote, and the horns of the beetle drooped, and it seemed to be in a low mood.

"Very smart."

"I can destroy the photos, and I can use money to make up for my mistakes...... "Skeeter has a strong desire to survive.

But before he could finish writing, Ringo shook his head and said, "The photo doesn't have to be destroyed, as for the money, miss, you are also the one who has seen my meeting, do you think I will be short of money?" Skeeter was stunned.

Oh, yes! Although this boy is young, he can be regarded as a big man in both the Muggle world and the wizarding world...... How can there be a lack of money?

"And what do you want?" Skeeter regretted his actions today,

"Or rather, what am I going to do so that you can let me go?"

"I have the heart to start a newspaper." Skeeter landed on the table and wrote in a depressed mood, "I can work for you, Mr. Shelby." ”

"You're a smart guy." Ringo nodded,

"But smart Miss Skeeter, do you think it's enough to just work for me?"

"What do you mean?" Skeeter's heart trembled.

"It's not interesting, I've made it clear, 'I want to start a newspaper.'" Ringo looked at the beetle and smiled like a devil,

"Except for 'having a heart', there is nothing missing." Skeeter stared at Ringo. If she's human now. Definitely will widen his eyes to express his shock: "But I'm just a journalist, and that's all I do!" ”

"So you should know what you do." Ringo stretched out his hand and knocked on the glass cover: "Remember to bring the photographer, president, editor-in-chief, distribution, personnel, design, and sales when you change jobs...... All in all, I'll pay for it, and you'll have to take care of the rest. ”

"I can't do this......" Skeeter subconsciously refused. But the words are finished. was blocked back by Ringo: "Miss reporter, I advise you to go ahead, after all, you don't want the Ministry of Magic to know about the illegal Animagus, right?" ”
