If you can’t get manager, you can always apply for clerk later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young witch was busy; she walked back to the shop entrance and pulled other applicants over to this line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin scanned the store interior—it carried only one book: the banner declared “The Green Notes Series.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All other shelves held different editions of that same book: bound volumes, as well as smaller, lighter, more detailed subdivisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was astonishing for a bookstore. No bookstore dared claim it sold only one title—but this one clearly did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Lupin understood why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These books… were selling wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled a copy of “History of Magic, Part One” from the front shelf and soon became absorbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have a wizard here with a wand of ten and a quarter inches, yew, unicorn hair, aged between thirty-two and thirty-three?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young clerk called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The applicants froze, then erupted in murmurs—what kind of requirement was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin was even more confused; this description was practically naming him directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I might fit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young clerk glanced at him and nodded approvingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when he entered the inner room did Lupin understand what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carpet was thick and plush; books lined the walls; the fireplace crackled merrily; elegant silver vessels simmered pumpkin juice, incongruous with the room’s tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the chairs, a golden-haired young wizard was handling contracts, while another, with black hair, was reading a book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he entered, both looked up at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We meet again, sir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden-haired boy said, then stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizard Sean, I’m leaving it to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now only two remained in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin felt tense now—tension born of uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin had no idea what the boy wanted; what could he possibly gain from him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His patched, tattered clothes? His werewolf identity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What startled him more was how young the two shop owners were; a closer look at their clothing revealed they were from Dufan Tailors—expensive, high-end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked like sons of wealthy families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizard Sean Green.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin fell silent—this child…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the name, he recalled the shop’s sign: “Green’s Bookshop.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly connected the dots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the History of Magic notes still showed immaturity—though they introduced an entirely new system and offered readers a fresh, excellent experience, traces of the author’s knowledge gaps remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a published author, it was barely passing;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for a first- or second-year student…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unthinkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This was published by me and my friends—we’re still at Hogwarts, so we need an acting manager. What do you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean closed the book in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin lowered his eyes—he struggled to keep any job long; once his werewolf identity was exposed, he was usually swiftly fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now he was destitute and truly needed work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I must decline…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin’s voice was hoarse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two young wizards… they’d come to hire a manager—they must have gone to great lengths to leave Hogwarts Castle; he knew exactly how hard that was, especially for rule-abiding wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They probably had only this one chance—if he got fired, they’d have to wait until holidays to hire again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you give me a reason?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… I’m a werewolf.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young wizard had an odd power—when he asked with such sincerity, lying was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem. I’ll give you two extra days off, as long as you finish your duties here first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean spoke as if mentioning a trivial matter, and Lupin stood frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps you don’t understand what I mean…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin paused, then spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A werewolf who looks like an ordinary person except during the full moon, when he transforms?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You registered with the Werewolf Registry, right? You know the Werewolf Code of Conduct—like locking yourself away each full moon to avoid harming others?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then there’s no issue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean’s calm demeanor made Lupin wonder if his former bosses had overreacted; finally, he gave a weary smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Child, I appreciate your kindness, but you clearly have no idea what being a werewolf means.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean looked at him, his emerald eyes bright:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beyond being werewolves, they’re still wizards, aren’t they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Wizard Sean’s desk lay a book titled “Furry Noses, Human Hearts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An anonymously authored book by Huzzar Hadd Publishing, it told a heartbreaking story of a wizard’s struggle against lycanthropy, published in 1975.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the 1990s, it had become a classic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have a one-month trial period. If you don’t perform well, I’ll still fire you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin laughed softly—he felt he’d met an unusually intriguing young wizard:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll do my best.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After slipping out of the bookstore, Jia Jia Siting parted ways with Wizard Sean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t ask why Wizard Sean had hired a werewolf as manager; instead, he kept glancing curiously at Lupin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean now had an extra helper:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, we’ll go to the Toy Shop, then to Gringotts. Can you Apparate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, he wouldn’t trouble the overwhelmed Gao Er, the shopkeeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Diagon Alley’s shops were tightly managed, the Weil Wei Silai twins had assigned her to expand their territory here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll be Duke of the North!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred always grinned mischievously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your salary doubled!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George joined in the teasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Er had nothing to say and was always grumpy; Wizard Sean didn’t want to bother her now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin tightened his patched clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1001,"2026-06-19T10:00:41.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","84da7b0ec13e62adc5ba09a07b37258bfd6e0e53476261b15dd22b16cac22613","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-321","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-319",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
