Chapter 43: An act of generosity
Hello friends, it is me, Max, your favorite fictional protagonist and currently, I am arriving drunk in my Ridvya castle. Little by little, I am going to my bedroom and when I opened the door I saw my wives sleeping, in silence I went to the bathroom. Soon I bathed with cold water and went to bed to sleep, tomorrow will be a new day.
I have big plans for tomorrow.

Pitiful man point of view
I had a strange dream, I dreamed that I was drinking with my idol, the world dueling champion and we got drunk on butterbeer, then I think he brought me home. I admired the champion very much, why? Because, although he was my age and my generation of young wizards, he was a successful young man. I wanted to be like him when I got out of Hogwarts, but however reality hit me hard and I couldn't get any job, I was lucky to get a marriage contract, since my father established it for me. I didn't want to admit it, but life was hitting me with everything and I didn't want it to emerge or thrive, but I will never give up. Because currently, my wife is pregnant with my child and I want at least to have a stable job by the time my child is born.
When I get up, I realize that I am on the couch sleeping and with a little headache, I go to the bathroom. Washing my face, I look at myself in the mirror and I had dark circles, I also had a good hangover. I decided to shower and wash off the beer smell.

When I finish bathing, I get dressed and go to the kitchen to confront my wife, who will surely be very upset with me because of my drunkenness.
"Good morning Molly. How do you feel today, my love? " I ask her, I'll be honest I was expecting him to yell at me and scold me, for arriving drunk last night. However, she greeted me with a happy smile and it was strange, because she has had many mood swings due to the pregnancy and our financial situation.
"Good morning my husband, I feel good and you" says Molly with a happy smile on her face. Feeling that my wife was acting strange today, I sat at the table to read the Prophet and have a cup of coffee.
"I'm feeling a bit hungover Molly and I'm fine," I reply to Molly and put my eyes on the headline of the newspaper.
[The Dark Lord Voldemort was wounded by Albus Dumbledore] by Rita.
Just when I was about to read it, my wife asked me something that left me puzzled.
"What are you doing?" Molly asks me, but inside of me I was baffled and that's why I thought she would yell at me.
"I'm reading the newspaper" I reply,
Molly yells at me "Arthur Weasley! What are you doing?"
Puzzled, I preferred to play dumb and ask "Molly, my love, what are you talking about?"
A / N: A wise decision.
Molly tells me yelling "The champ, he's waiting for you for the job interview and he can't be late!"
Now yes, I am completely puzzled and how I got to have a job interview with the champion. Something like a job interview with my idol, I would always remember it and suddenly, I remembered that yesterday I met my idol. Another thing that I forgot is that he bought me a beer and since he was my idol, I did not refuse to have a beer with him. Now after that, my memories are blurry and I think I ended up drinking until I got drunk, I remember the champion brought me home.
"Molly, I'm sure I don't have a job interview and what are you talking about. can you explain me?" i ask him
She watches me for a moment and then looks for a gold card, if it was my idol's famous calling card. I had heard, that he liked gold and to such a degree, that he usually always made flashy golden magic. But I had not seen it with my eyes, since my financial situation was bad and I could not waste money.
"He left you this business card and said to go see him, for a job interview at 2 in the afternoon" says Molly excited.
Without asking anything more, I went to where the business card said and when I arrived, I noticed that it was the Gringotts. I walk towards the entrance I say to the goblin, "Excuse me sir, but I have a job interview with Mr. Maximillium and they told me to come here, for the job interview at 2 in the afternoon"
The goblin's reaction was strange and because at first, he looked at me harshly. However, when he saw the gold card his attitude changed and he looked at me with respect and I even saw envy in his eyes. Strange, no one had envied me since I graduated from Hogwarts and it was very strange, but I kept walking where he told me to go.
I wait a moment and knock on the door.
Knock Knock!
From the other of the door they say "Pass"
Point of View Max
When I got out of bed, I realized that it was after 11 in the morning and my wives had already left, I take a bath.
I went to the Gringotts, because I wanted to see my accounts and investments. Upon arriving at the Gringotts, he went straight to work with a coffee in hand and quickly took out my accounts and my calculations, everything was perfect.
Now I put my eyes on the newspaper the prophet and read the headline of the newspaper, I laughed out loud.
[The Dark Lord Voldemort was wounded by Albus Dumbledore] by Rita.
[Dear readers, wizards and witches in our community, yesterday the battle between light and darkness took place. While most witches and wizards slept comfortably in their homes, a secret battle took place. This reporter Rita following a lead, which took me to the battle site and when I arrived I realized that things are very bad for both sides. Why did Albus Dumbledore take this reporter Rita's advice to heart and train her sheep troops, so that they would not die in the fervor of battle. However, this reporter Rita, noticed that despite the training the light side was losing and at that moment Albus Dumbledore arrived, attacking Voldemort in a surprise attack. Who after being attacked by surprise, ordered the withdrawal of his troops and little by little also withdrew from the battle. This reporter Rita, had the pleasure of interviewing the dark lord Voldemort and asked him what he wanted to achieve with this, he responded briefly saying: that he only wanted him to return his things that were stolen from him. Now this reporter Rita is puzzled and intrigued. What did Albus steal from Voldemort? Why so much mystery? These are questions that we don't know the answer to, but one day I'll find out or stop calling me Rita]
Hahaha, certainly Rita was improving on her playing and now I realized that it was almost 2 in the afternoon. I thought about my next move, decided to get involved with Ron's dad and just to think that the little prick called me uncle, I find it gratifying for some reason. Also, I realized that my approach was a bit wrong and why I have to get involved a bit, so that my enemies lower their guard.
I am currently waiting for Arthur Weasley, if I am going to give Arthur a job and it is because I always liked Arthur's attitude. Also, my real goal is to change the Weasleys' story a bit and I know Molly is a smart woman, she wouldn't join the Albus cause without a reason. When I think about it, my ideas and plans turn in a more effective way with the Weasleys.
Knock Knock!
Here it is and I say "Come in"
You can immediately observe Arthur entering the office, he seemed very nervous and very enthusiastic.
"Good morning my friend, how do you feel about the hangover and how is your wife" I say with a smile
"Champion, I'm here for the job interview and I'll be honest with you, I didn't remember the interview, until my wife mentioned it to me," says Arthur nervously.
"I'll be honest with you Arthur, I generally don't do this and I usually let my employees take care of these things, but I like you my friend and I will make an exemption" I say with a smile
"Thank you champion" says Arthur
"At first I thought you were cheating on me, but when I saw your pregnant wife and I can't help but remember, the difficulties you mentioned to me" I say with a serious tone of voice.
"I would never do that champion" says Arthur
"Saying that, I will entrust you with an opportunity and a way to advance to job prosperity, where you will be able to ascend your position according to your achievements" I say with a serious tone of voice.
When probing him with Legitimacy I saw that he was thinking of (After so much time of difficulties, finally someone gives me a chance and nothing less than my idol, I cannot disappoint him) thinks Arthur and says with enthusiasm "Champion I will not disappoint you"
"I can have you in my team to supervise muggle artifacts and you will have to work hard, you will have a monthly salary of 600 galleons; where overtime and bonuses are not included "I say with a smile
When probing him with Legilimency I saw that he was thinking of (he said 600 galleons, oh Merlin and this is my lucky day, Arthur you should not miss this opportunity) thinks Arthur and with we study he tells me "Champion do not worry, I will not disappoint you and I will give what better of me at work "
"Well, if something happens and you need help, don't forget to ask me, because that's what friends are for" I say with a smile.
"I will try not to forget him champion" says Arthur seriously
"Now, putting that issue aside. How did you survive your angry wife? Because she wanted to kill us with her eyes last night, for having come home drunk and it seemed that she was not very happy "I jokingly say with a smile
"Hahaha, she usually does that, but there is no need to worry, because she is not angry and rather she seemed very happy today, which left me surprised" says Arthur with a smile
