The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

"In my opinion, support for the new bill and technological innovation are indispensable." Snape pushed the teacup aside.

Eugenie nodded in agreement.

Ways to make money always appear outside the limits of the law.

Snape went on to explain to her parents, "As far as the current potion management methods are concerned, the Ministry of Magic mainly regulates the market by conducting strict skill level assessments for pharmacists."

Eugenie's eyes briefly wandered to the side, and she hesitated when she said, "Actually, there are cases where producers who have not yet obtained qualification certificates sell potions directly to finished product pharmacies."

She was talking about the things she had done.

"It's illegal," Snape commented, "but because pharmacies will identify and grade the purchased potions and then label them with the names of other pharmacists, this behavior does not harm the public interest, so it is often ignored. .”

When the amount is small, it will not attract attention, but when the amount is large, the nature is completely different. If you blatantly provoke existing laws, you will be caught in minutes.

Eugenie retracted her neck like a sea anemone that saw danger, "Well - our current direction is - to set up a small factory, with the help of unified alchemy equipment, to allow people who do not have the qualifications of a pharmacist to Made in bulk.”

Eloise immediately understood, "You want the potion management method to change from 'linked to the pharmacist's personal reputation' to 'the company obtains production qualifications and undergoes regular quality inspections'"

"Yes, yes," Eugenie asked, "Is it possible?"

Eloise's eyes turned to her husband.

"Mr. Malfoy will be very interested." He said immediately after receiving the instructions from his eyes, "But he seems to have been troubled recently and is absent-minded about other issues. The effect of discussing with him at this time will not be very good."

Snape knew it well, and he said easily, "Mr. Malfoy is worried that the Ministry of Magic will raid his manor. Once many of his collections are discovered - the members of the search team will be promoted."

Malfoy was still worried about the diary he kept at school. He didn't know how he would feel after such a long time when he learned that his only cat, a Squib, had been attacked.

"When the limelight of the search is over, we will make an appointment to talk with him in detail."

Snape said, "Well, it's lucrative, and he won't refuse it. I believe Malfoy's desire to acquire wealth and consolidate his status will only be stronger than yours."

The Ministry of Magic now dares to investigate the Malfoy Manor!He is also anxious.

From Eugenie's point of view, although the influence of the Malfoy family has weakened a lot compared to that of their ancestors, a camel is still bigger than a horse. At present, they are still the most suitable candidates for cooperation. Draco's actions have also shown that Good willingness to cooperate.

Legality issues are resolved through the above methods, and other preparations must be coordinated in advance.

"Are there any technical difficulties that need to be overcome?"

"There are no problems with the potions of medium and low difficulty. The rest still need to be improved. I'm not sure how long it will take, but we already have some ideas."

"In addition to instruments, there are certain requirements for raw materials." Eugenie added.

Snape held his chin, "Yes, we need to find a stable supplier. You can consider cooperating with the Bobin family."

"I've heard that they run a large chain of pharmacies."

"Well, it just so happens that Miss Melinda Bobin joined my academy this year. If you need to contact them, I can make the connection." Snape said.

Eloise showed a grateful expression. She seemed to want to stand up and shake hands, "Sir, we are so lucky that you are willing to help. You have always been kind to us."

Albert said after a while, "If we consider the next steps in more detail, I think we can also use book companies to do preliminary publicity for us - the emergence of new things needs to give the public the opportunity to understand it in advance and slowly cultivate it. Acceptance."

"I remember we owned shares in two book companies, Mom."

"Oh, yes, I have a relatively high shareholding ratio in Rumihat Books, and its current performance is not bad. I may consider further increasing my shareholding to compete for management rights, and transfer the shares of another company to others."

"Let me know if you need a seal." Eugenie let the eagle on the ring shine with blue light.

Revising, canceling the magical effect of existing contracts, and signing new contracts all require this badge.

"Then let's try to make the appointment on the weekend so that it won't affect your classes." Eloise took out a small book from her handbag and wrote down the asset items she planned to make changes on.

I have long wanted to flex my muscles, but I have been suffering from the fact that contract restrictions cannot be changed, and the expected benefits and risks are not equal, so I must make adjustments as soon as possible.

Eugenie turned her head to look at the professor, making eye contact briefly, and then turned her head back, "Don't worry about weekends, Mom. Weekends are busier than usual. New instruments require a lot of time. It's easy to fill in the usual courses, except for Feitian." Regarding broomsticks and a small number of elective courses, the professor is very versatile and can make up for one class for me in 5 minutes, and it’s easy to ask for leave.”

Eloise stretched out her legs and kicked her gently under the table, her eyes clearly conveying "How can you be so embarrassed to cause trouble again, and you have no scruples to say it to her face?"

None of us here are very talkative. The advantage is that many things can be communicated quickly with eyes. Everyone understands and there is no need to say much.

"It doesn't matter, it's more efficient. No matter who it is, only fragmented time is available during the working day, and the two days on the weekend that are not disturbed by trivial matters are more precious. I hope Sissi can participate in the discussion on the weekend. Her views are very important. This kind of alchemical thinking has important reference value and can speed up the research process-this is her curriculum."

Surprise and joy were mixed on Eloise's face. She reached out and took the parchment, "No problem. It's much more convenient for us to choose it on a working day."

Some companies can't catch anyone on weekends. The office is empty, and you can't contact anyone who doesn't want to reply to messages by any means.

A holiday is a holiday. Except for the explosion at the Ministry of Magic, no news will touch their hearts.

It’s almost time to talk about business.

It is difficult to communicate on the island to ensure that the address is not exposed, but it will be convenient after returning to Hogwarts. The specific details can be explained in a letter, or you can make an appointment to chat outside.

Eugenie lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered something, raised her head and asked, "Mom, how many books by Gilderoy Lockhart are published through Rumihart Books?"

"Yes, I heard that Mr. Lockhart has taken up a position in your school." Eloise deliberately avoided the words Defense Against the Dark Arts. She knew that Professor Snape had applied for this position many times but failed.
