Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1599 A war without a winner (forty-nine)

"It is not difficult to generate electricity using solar and wind energy..."

At the entrance of the tent, Hermione pointed to the light on the table and turned to Albert, who was flipping through the newspaper at the table and said, "But using these two methods to generate electricity is not stable enough."

"You need to prepare batteries. Battery storage has always been a big problem."

"The price of that thing is not cheap, and..."

Hermione felt that Albert should not try to promote electricity in wizarding villages. That was simply fanciful.

"Do you think we should separate?"

"I think they should be allowed to make their own choices." Hermione looked at the powerless electric fan on her right and reminded, "This is a bold attempt, and our technology is not mature enough. Maybe we should slow down and let everyone have some experience. It will take time for them to adapt, and when they see the convenience of electricity, they will take the initiative to connect their homes with electricity.”

"Perhaps, you are right, but we are not in a hurry to discuss this issue now." Albert explained: "We need someone who can figure out how to use these things."

"Can't you do it yourself?"

Hermione believed that since Albert planned to electrify the village, he must have known about these things in advance, and maybe... no, he must be better than herself.

"It can't be me doing everything, or Shanna doing it, otherwise we wouldn't have time to do anything else."

It’s not that Albert wants to be lazy. When he’s short of people, he can fill in. But the problem is that you can’t always be short of people, so let him do it.

Zannah took out a folder from the file box and handed it to Hermione, and introduced to her, "I made two backup plans based on Albert's wishes. However, I haven't decided which one to use yet."

After flipping through the document in her hand, Hermione felt more and more redundant, and the original joy of completing the task assigned by Albert disappeared in an instant.

"Which plan do you plan to adopt?" Shanna suddenly asked.

"We'll wait until the village is built. Anyway, prepare the plan first."

"You are very far-sighted."

Hermione looked at Albert who was reading the newspaper with resentful eyes, planning to take the time to find him to make up for his hurt heart.

Just then, Ginny and George walked into the tent side by side.

"Have you picked it yet?" Shanna asked with a smile.

"It's the villa near the park." George walked to the model and placed a flag with Harry's name in front of a certain villa. "There happens to be enough open space to set up a tent nearby."

"I thought you would lend Harry the manor where you and Isobel were married?"

"That's not my manor, and that place is protected by the Fidelity Charm. It's very troublesome to use it." Albert turned another page of the newspaper. After he learned from Sirius about the problems Harry encountered, he simply helped him. solved.

"Harry will be very happy, at least they don't have to worry about where to live after getting married." Hermione said happily.

After all, after Harry and Ginny get married, they can't continue to live in the Weasley family.

How embarrassing that would be!

"By the way, what's the name of this village?" Ginny awkwardly changed the subject.

She and Harry had also thought about this problem, but neither of them had a good solution because their wedding was so rushed that they were not ready for many things.

"Doesn't our village have a name?" George looked at Albert in shock.

"I'm already collecting names." Shanna took out her notebook and flipped through it. "However, most people's names are not very good."

Hermione secretly glanced at the shrewd and capable Zannah, and suddenly realized that the person chosen by Albert had really extraordinary abilities.

"Don't be anxious about this, just think about it slowly." Albert said.

"What would your name be if it were you?" Shanna asked directly.

"Avalon."

"Utopia? This one is pretty good."

Shanna took notes and asked around again. Most people couldn't think of any good names for a while.

"How's Harry doing lately," George changed the subject.

To be honest, he thought Albert's Avalon was pretty good, and it was definitely not because he was too lazy to think of a name.

"Very busy. Recently, those Death Eaters have been causing trouble like crazy and caused many Inferi attacks. Harry and Ron often need to be busy until late." Ginny was very heartbroken that Harry had to work overtime every day. , couldn't help complaining, "I really don't understand how those Death Eaters have the courage to challenge the Ministry of Magic."

"Perhaps, their collective brains were caught by the door." George shrugged.

In fact, not only him, but also most people couldn't understand the current situation, let alone the meaning of the Death Eaters' fight with the Ministry of Magic.

Do you think you can't die quickly enough?

"Didn't the Ministry of Magic say that someone was targeting Kingsley and trying to prevent him from becoming the Minister of Magic?" Zannah said the "standard answer" she read in the newspaper.

"Do you believe this?"

Anyway, George didn't believe this perfunctory reason. Maybe it did have this factor, but there must be other more important reasons, otherwise this thing wouldn't be so weird at all.

After all, how could the remaining Death Eaters have such energy to cause this chaos.

"I heard that Kingsley seems to be interested in reorganizing the Special Operations Group. They are seriously short of manpower." George glanced at Albert secretly and continued, "I just met Percy. Kingsley hopes to hire some temporary Aurors. To get through the current difficulties?”

"How much a month?" Albert asked.

"I thought you were going to pull Kingsley over." Hermione was surprised that Albert raised his salary when he opened his mouth.

"Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, not to mention everyone is very busy." Albert curled his lips and said, "If the salary can be satisfactory, I believe everyone will be happy to take the time to help."

"It's lower than regular Aurors. The Ministry of Magic has no money at all and can't afford high employment fees." Zannah glanced at Ginny secretly. She felt that if work here stopped because of this, Harry and Ginny would probably Will cry!

Once construction stops, the construction of the entire village will come to a complete halt, and their wedding room will become out of reach.

"If it's not high, forget it. We can't let everyone go there and work for free."

"You really don't want to give Kingsley a hand?" Hermione was particularly surprised.

"Today's attacks in the magic world should actually be said to be internal conflicts within the Ministry of Magic." Albert hesitated for a moment and explained to everyone: "You can think of it as a conflict between the old and the new due to the uneven distribution of interests."

"Unequal distribution of benefits?"

Everyone looked at each other, this was the first time they heard this statement.

"There is a saying that the current chaos is actually caused by some pure-blood families who once supported Voldemort." Albert said meaningfully, "The reason is that Kingsley is gradually clearing out the influence that Voldemort has placed within the Ministry of Magic." flag."

Is this the truth?

Or, part of the truth?
