After chatting with Cedric for a while, William entered the back room of the shop.
After entering the room, he saw a woman, already sitting there, waiting for him and Hermione.
That's the beauty of having your own store.
At least in Hogsmeade, you don't have to go to the three brooms with poor stealth; you don't have to go to Aberforth, who likes to rip off.
We have our own base!
The only fly in the ointment is that there is no secret road.
William believes:
A secret passage to Hogwarts must be dug inside the store, which can be used as an emergency contact.
And those secret passages in the past, too many people know, they can be sealed.
Best of all, the exit of this secret passage is in the Room of Requirement, which is perfect.
Wait...isn't Aberforth doing the same thing when he opened the Hogs' Head in Hogsmeade?
On the surface, it is to open a bar and deliberately sell hard liquor to Hogwarts primary school students; in fact, it is Dumbledore's secret contact point behind the scenes?
After all, smart people do this, William can think of opening a secret passage in the store, so can Dumbledore.
William remembered that Aberforth was still a hidden Order of the Phoenix, the kind that never attended a meeting.
Good guy... Could it be that these two brothers, on the surface, are acting as superficial brothers for everyone, but they also have a hand in the interior... Brotherly love?
It's like those tobacco companies, on the surface, are harming everyone's health, but in fact they are collecting funds to specifically support the country's military industry?
So, don't compare secrets with Dumbledore.
His secrets are always much more than yours!
Rita was putting on makeup for herself. She had not gone out shopping for a long time, so she cut herself a short hair.
However, she still wore those jeweled glasses, her eyebrows were heavily drawn, and her mouth was like a nouveau riche, with a row of gold teeth.
Seeing William and Hermione coming, she immediately filled with a pleasing smile.
During this time, Rita was performing the task that William explained, turning into a beetle to monitor those Death Eaters.
This is an important source of intelligence.
Voldemort wouldn't tell Snape everything, and he needed Rita to fill in the gaps.
The generous salary and treatment given by William made Rita's life very nourishing.
However, this money is not enough for her financial freedom in the rest of her life.
At least not enough to be profligate, and have to continue to serve William.
In the face of her big benefactor, Rita's name has changed.
It used to be "Mr. Perfect" and "Miss Perfect", but now it has become "the boss and the lady boss with more money and billions of dollars".
"Boss, who is monitoring this time?" Rita asked curiously.
This year, there has been a house elf who has been contacted exclusively, and William will not let her risk it.
This time she was suddenly called to Hogsmeade, and Rita was also extremely curious.
William sat in the chair, took the coffee that Hermione made him, and smiled:
"I don't need you to monitor anyone for the time being, I want you to write something."
"What are you writing, is it a love story between you and the proprietress?" Rita teased.
Hermione glared at her and said coldly, "I'm writing an autobiography for someone."
"He's dying and needs a biography. That's what you do best." William took a sip of his coffee.
"I'm dying..." Rita clenched her fists and said excitedly:
"I heard that the boss is a student of Nicole Lemay, and he destroyed the Philosopher's Stone, and it is estimated that he will not live long.
What, are you going to write about Nicole Lemay's six hundred years of absurd life? ! "
If you have the first-hand information of Nicole May, with this book, you can definitely be free of wealth.
Rita was very excited.
"Not Nico." William shook his head.
"Could it be Dumbledore?" Rita looked at him warily.
She has indeed collected a lot of information about Dumbledore over the years, and is going to write a biography of Albus Dumbledore when he is dead.
Rita also prepares to narrate the man's life from a negative perspective.
Everyone said he was a great man, and Rita insisted on finding another way, calling him a liar and a messy private life.
Whether it's true or not, it's enough for a gimmick anyway.
Of course, that idea died out a few years ago.
Anyway, since these two are still alive, it is impossible for her to write a biography of Dumbledore.
But Nicole May and Dumbledore, Rita really doesn't know, what other heavyweight wizards are worthy of her biography.
Could it be that Scamander is dying? Or the boy who survived is gone?
William didn't continue to sell things, stared at Rita, and said seriously:
"I want you to write a biography of Tom Riddle."
"Tom Riddle?" Rita frowned, she was a little unfamiliar with the name.
Especially Tom from Rotten Street... Her first reaction was the owner of the Leaky Cauldron.
What's there to write about that bad old man!
"Also known as the mysterious man - Voldemort," Hermione explained.
"Who?!" Rita's voice was sharp, slamming the table, and the shocking coffee spilled on the table.
"I think you heard it clearly just now." William said calmly.
"William, do you know that that's the Dark Lord?!" Rita's expression became a little grim.
"Why, dare not write?" William knocked on the table, the water on the table began to evaporate and white smoke came out.
"You have written so many articles for me, and you have already been ordered to kill by the Death Eaters, and now you are afraid?"
"Boss, you misunderstood." Rita suddenly smiled, she sighed and grinned:
"This person is the most terrifying demon king in history. He kills people without blinking an eye, and writes an autobiography for him..."
"You have to pay more!!"
"It's simple." William leaned back on the chair with satisfaction. For the first time, he found that Rita was also quite moist.
"But I don't have any information about the mysterious man's past, and I don't know anything about his past."
Adaptation is not a random compilation... She writes an autobiography, so she has to be well-founded, right?
"I can provide detailed information, and even an interview with his teacher back then, for your reference."
The portraits and ghosts of Hogwarts have memories of Tom, and they are the best in person.
"Then I will definitely write a biography that will satisfy you, boss." Rita said to herself.
"How long will it take for the book to come out?" Hermione had already begun to urge the draft.
"Madam, I have to polish it up." Although Rita was ordered to kill she was not afraid of biting lice... but she wanted to continue to see the wind.
It is best to publish the biography after the Dark Lord's defeat and death, which will reduce the risk a lot.
"I need you to finish the draft before Christmas, aren't you a quick shooter?" William's tone was unconvincing.
"Okay." Rita shrugged. "But a reminder, there may not be a publisher who dares to publish this masterpiece."
"Don't worry, I'll help you find the right publisher," William said.
Rita grabbed her crocodile bag, turned into a beetle, and flew out happily.
She had already thought of the title of the book.
