The interviews continued until sunset. Lorne, having waited a long time without seeing the next person, was about to pack up when a familiar figure cautiously pushed open a half-open door and asked, "Hello, are you still hiring?"
Lorne looked up and saw a girl dressed in black, with a neat high ponytail, but her expression was somewhat shy and timid.
"Who are you?"
The newcomer took a deep breath, as if making a decision. "My name is Lucille, and I'd like to apply for a job at the Magic Mobile Phone Shop, but my situation is a bit special. I'm a..."
" Werewolf." Lorne spoke up for the embarrassed Lucille. He recognized Lucille as the girl who had won second place in the Street Wizard Fighter. He still vividly remembered her simple and unpretentious Werewolf combos.
"Yes," Lucille stammered, "I can ask for a lower salary. I'll take care of everything before the full moon and ask for leave in advance. If the Ministry of Magic investigates, I'll resign beforehand, as long as you give me a chance—"
"No way!" Lorne refused before Lucille could finish speaking.
Just as Lucille slumped in despair and was about to leave, she suddenly heard the sound of an inkwell being opened on the table. Lorne, sitting upright, had already laid out the papers. "I do have a job that suits you, but I can't just reduce your salary. Otherwise, it would be troublesome when calculating expenses. Your salary is the same as everyone else's, so there's no need for you to resign."
At this point, King Lorne smiled and said, "So what if they're Werewolf? They're no problem for me."
Ruchel waited anxiously outside the door, watching his cousin hesitate inside for a long time before suddenly walking in with tears in her eyes. What followed was a long discussion, and Lucher couldn't help but feel extremely anxious.
His cousin's parents were wizards, so even though the Ministry of Magic didn't hire her after she graduated from Hogwarts, she remained optimistic about life in the wizarding world.
But her parents were Muggle, and her family didn't have much wealth. After repeatedly hitting walls and being forced to stay at home, she lowered her job requirements to the bare minimum. Even so, once it was discovered that she was Werewolf, her boss would fire her without hesitation.
Lorne, inside the room, was also discussing the matter. If it were Lupin, it wouldn't be so bad; the Death Eaters were rampant back then, and it was understandable that Greyback would harm people out of revenge against society and wizards. Lucille was so young, how could she have been bitten by Greyback?
"Actually, incidents of Werewolf attacking people have always existed, but most of the children who are bitten don't receive social support, and their parents often keep them at home to prevent them from getting hurt," Lucille explained. " Greyback would seek out children to bite every time he transformed, believing that children who became Werewolf would hate wizarding society—and that's indeed the case. Wizards' regulations against Werewolf are written into the rules. We are clearly the victims, yet we can't participate in work normally and have to suffer discrimination."
"When I first played Street Wizard Fighter, I was shocked to see the Werewolf character option. I was amazed that someone would create this character despite the established beliefs of wizarding society. I admired you greatly at the time."
Lucille looked at him with admiration, while Lorne was a little embarrassed. He simply didn't understand wizarding society at the time and hadn't thought that much about it.
However, even now that he understands, he would still do it. The progenitors of Werewolf were Greyback and his henchmen. No one willingly becomes Werewolf. Instead of trying to protect the interests of these victims, the Ministry of Magic targets and harms them, which is truly aiding and abetting evil.
Lorne's eyes glazed over, and he slowly drifted off into a daze.
It's getting cold; it's time for the Ministry of Magic to have a change of pace.
"Boss Lorne," Lucille's voice snapped Lorne back to reality, "I wonder what I can do for you?"
"No rush, I'll arrange your position. Your tasks will be quite difficult at the beginning, but I'll take the time to train you. In return, you'll receive a treasure." Lorne took out the remaining half-bottle of the system version of Wolfsbane Potion and placed it on the table. "This is Wolfsbane Potion. It can completely solve your problem, allowing you to stop transforming into Werewolf."
" Wolfsbane Potion?" Lucille was overjoyed. "Thank you, boss. With this, I won't hurt anyone else during my next transformation—wait, what do you mean by 'completely resolved'?"
Lorne leaned back tactically, just smiling confidently, causing Lucille's expression to change constantly, from shock to doubt to joy and madness.
Lucille covered her mouth. "Are you serious, boss? This Potions can completely cure my Werewolf curse? I've never heard of such Potions before—I'm not doubting you, I'm just so surprised, I'm afraid I've misheard."
"Give it a try," Lorne pushed the Potions forward. "As a price, you'll also have to practice the tasks I've arranged for you during the new recruit team building period. Your responsibilities are significant; you might be in charge of an entire area later. If you want to repay me, work hard and live well."
"Perhaps we will have another chance to make Greyback pay the price in the future. I firmly believe that good people are rewarded by Heaven, and evil people are punished by Heaven. Those who do evil will never be triumphant for long."
The day's recruitment finally came to an end. Lorne was going to be busy lately. In order to save time, he gathered all the members of the Magic Mobile Phone Shop together for a meeting.
The visitors included former employees Quirrell and Sains, as well as newcomers Augusta, Alice, Frank, and Dobby. Even the most recent hires Lupin and Sirius, were among them. Of course, Sirius couldn't be seen for the time being; he was still maintaining his identity as Little Banana Star.
"Everyone, we have a tight schedule and heavy workload these two months. The Magic Mobile Phone Store will be undertaking many new projects. I will now introduce the detailed arrangements and division of responsibilities."
"First, the mass production of the Magic Mobile Phone and the recruitment and training of new employees will temporarily be handled by me, Lupin, and Little Banana Star."
"Secondly, regarding the initiation and development of the new game, once I have an idea and a prototype Sains will be responsible for numerical adjustments and real-time monitoring, while Quirrell will be responsible for publicity and promotion."
"Thirdly, the membership card system and storage permissions—snatching this piece of the pie from the Goblin won't be easy. Mrs. Augusta will be in charge of the relevant documentation and venue maintenance, as well as liaising with the Quidditch World Cup officials; we'll also need your help with that."
"Fourth, and most importantly, I'm going to start a theme park project and open the third Magic Mobile Phone store within it. The Longbottoms will need to do a lot of work on the site construction. If the Ministry of Magic requires any related applications, please process them as well. You two also have a very important task: to find the Giant. We're undertaking a massive project, and only they can complete the site within a month."
