“I have been giving it some thought, and reckon that we can afford to hire two extra people. It’s been a lot busier around here than I’d originally thought and we have plenty of money coming in.”
Tonight was going to be a long night and George had a feeling he wouldn’t be getting any sleep, not that that was usual. He only seemed to be able to sleep through the night when he was staying at Hogwarts which he’d not been able to do the past week or two due to business keeping him at the shop late. He’d really have to sit down with all the applications and force himself to make a decision, before he started to feel too guilty about lying to Verity, saying that he was close to choosing.
“Only, the ones that are chosen, I think it should be a trial. I don’t want to hire people only to find that they don’t do a good job. If after a month they’ve done a good job they can stay, if not, I’ll hire someone else.” Maybe knowing that it was only a trial would help him come to decision quicker, he still wasn’t comfortable with hiring someone on a permanent basis.
