Chapter 539

~3 min read 449 words

"Can you give me a reason?"

Xiang Xien asked.

"I... I... am a werewolf."

The little wizard in front of him always had a strange magic; when he asked sincerely, it was difficult for you to lie.

"It doesn't matter, I can give you two more days off, as long as you handle the things in the shop in advance."

Xiang Xien seemed to be talking about a light little thing, and Lupin was already stunned on the spot.

"Maybe you didn't understand what I meant..."

Lupin was silent for a while, and then said.

"A werewolf who usually looks no different from ordinary people, but transforms into a wolf during the full moon every month?

You registered at the Werewolf Registry, right? You remember the Werewolf Code of Conduct, right? For example, locking yourself up during the full moon every month to avoid hurting others."

Xiang Xien said.

"Of course..."

Lupin said.

"Then there's no problem."

Xiang Xien's demeanor made Lupin suspect whether his former bosses were too fussed, and finally he smiled helplessly:

"Child, I appreciate your kindness, but you seem to have no idea what a werewolf means."

Xiang Xien looked at him, those emerald green eyes were bright:

"Outside of being a werewolf, they are still wizards, right?"

On Xiang Xien's tabletop was a book called "Hairy Snout, Human Heart."

It was a book written by an anonymous author from Whizz Hard Books, which told a heartbreaking story of a wizard struggling against lycanthropy, published in 1975.

By the 1990s, this book had become a classic work.

"You have a one-month probation period; if you don't do the job well, I will still fire you."

Xiang Xien said again.

Lupin laughed dumbly; he seemed to have met an overly interesting little wizard:

"I will do my best."

After slipping out of the bookstore, Jia Siting separated from Xiang Xien.

He didn't ask Xiang Xien why he hired a werewolf as a store manager, just curiously looking at Lupin from time to time.

Xiang Xien also happened to have an extra helper:

"We'll go to the Wizard Wheezes first, then go to Gringotts; you can Apparate, right?"

Xiang Xien asked.

This way he wouldn't have to trouble the busy and dizzy Store Manager Gert.

Because the Diagon Alley shop was managed in an orderly manner, the Weasley twins called her here to expand the territory.

"You will be the Duke of the North!"

Fred always smiled teasingly.

"The salary has doubled!"

George also followed and laughed.

Store Manager Gert had nothing to say, so she was always angry; Xiang Xien didn't really want to trouble her at this time.

"Of course."

Lupin tightened his patched clothes.
