Chapter 325: Penelope

Chapter 325: Penelope

"Percy, did you see it?"

"...I saw it."

In a corner of Diagon Alley, Percy and Penelope stared at each other dumbfoundedly. Percy asked her, "Do you think Professor Snape is here as a guest?"

"Don't be silly," Penelope exclaimed excitedly, clenching her fist. "We should have realized it earlier. The job posting revealed a lot of information"

"You mean the ancient magical texts and the admiration for Muggle items?" Percy caught on. "We're lucky we came back one last time. The previous times we came, it was just an empty space here."

Percy and Penelope had come here more than once, and they had even followed the recruitment advertisement to find the L.C.A. Building. The staff of this newly thriving comic company led them to a domestic elf. This domestic elf, dressed even more elegantly than them, had a separate office. He didn't reveal much information, only insisting that the interview location hadn't changed and asked them to come on time. "You won't regret it."

Percy was about to start at the Ministry of Magic in a few days, and today was their last visit. They happened to witness this scene.

...

Felix and Snape entered the Future World Building. Felix's fingertips brushed against a copper Knut. "Dobby," he called softly.

"Squeak!"

With a slight sound, a domestic elf dressed in exquisite butler's attire appeared. He gave a deep bow. "Mr. Harp, Dobby is at your service." He looked up, gazing around. "Is this our new company? It looks a bit dim..."Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"Of course, it still lacks illumination," Felix said. He extended his hand forward, magical script converged, forming a palm-sized milky-white sphere of light that spiraled upward. It landed in the enormous crystalline fractal chandelier at the top of the building, instantly illuminating the whole place.

"It can last for a while. I'll create a stable magical item with similar properties in a couple of days." He said thoughtfully, "Perhaps this could become the company's first product."

"Magic lamp?" Snape pondered. "A good idea."

Felix clapped his hands. "The interview time is at nine o'clock. We have about two hours. We can use this time to make some adjustments"

He stopped mid-sentence as a young man and woman pushed the door open from outside. "Professor?" Penelope said nervously.

Felix nodded at her. "You're earlier than I expected. Hmm... I've seen your records. It's not really necessary, but let's go through the process."

"Exactly because of the small size, certain rules should be established early on. It's good for everyone." Percy insisted.

"Rules are necessary, but they don't have to be so rigid." Penelope patiently explained, "Future World's main focus is on research and development. It's completely different from the Ministry of Magic..."

Felix and Snape sat quietly on the side, watching them argue. Both of them had a streak of stubbornness in their personalities, but they were also rational individuals. After half an hour, Percy was persuaded.

At that moment, Felix smiled and said, "Looks like you've reached a consensus."

"Let me share my thoughts. Just as Miss Cleavat said, Future World's mission is to provide convenience for all wizards, to make their lives better. In other words, our mindset should be ahead of the entire wizarding world. We are the future."

"A relaxed environment is essential. I won't impose too many constraints. However, some practices from the Ministry of Magic can also be beneficial. Like the paper airplanes Percy mentioned to pass messages. I found it intriguing the first time I saw it."

"Knock knock!"

Dobby knocked on the door and appeared. "Mr. Harp, there's an applicant. He says his name is Lems Lupin."

Snape stood up abruptly. "I'll go bring him in." Without waiting for Felix's response, he hurried out of the room.

Felix shook his head and quickly followed. These two had just had a quarrel not too long ago, their relationship was indeed complex. But another round of argument wasn't a big deal. He just needed to keep Percy and Penelope occupied.

Turning to the two of them, he said, "You've been hired, Miss Cleavat. Enjoy your break, and report for duty tomorrow..."
