Chapter 395 "Hogwarts on the Bite of the Tongue"
Due to Hermione's temporary defection, the first symposium with core members of "The Quibbler" went extremely smoothly.
Even Hannah, who was melancholy because of the word count updated every day, soon recovered from her petrified state, and excitedly joined in on the section reform for the next issue of "The Quibbler" - whether she was giving up on herself or preparing. If she strives to ensure that she updates two thousand words every day, only she will know.
After lunch time, Xenophilius Lovegood naturally followed Dumbledore (really), Cornelius Fudge and his team to the principal's office to continue discussing the overall tone of the subsequent news.
Of course, for Albus Dumbledore, the Headmaster's Office may be a safe house for his only remaining "snacks" - you know, house elves are not allowed to enter the Headmaster's Office.
So even if the kitchen will not provide new desserts, at least when Grindelwald was "role playing" in the morning, there would still be some snack platters left to entertain everyone at the Ministry of Magic... right?
On the other side, Elena and the other four did not return to the dormitory to rest. Instead, led by Hermione and Hannah, they gathered in front of the fire in the Hogwarts kitchen, enjoying digestive drinks and discussing. The future work planning and operation methods of "The Quibbler".
Considering that this time the changes are quite large and everyone is a newbie, "The Quibbler" will temporarily continue the previous weekly model, but it will be two to three times as thick as before.
At the same time, the style of painting has also changed from the previous hand-painted illustrations to the form of hand-painted + full-color magic pictures. Based on this alone, it is estimated that only Elena, who is wealthy, can afford it in a short time.
You know, even the best-selling "Daily Prophet" in the wizarding world, the news pictures on it are all in black and white - not to mention, the previous issues of "The Quibbler" are completely free! Subscribe and get it! Get it even if you don’t subscribe!
In terms of content, the new version of "The Quibbler" is mainly divided into three sections.
The original "singing the opposite" section was split into two areas, the news section and the current affairs commentary section.
The news section is used to publish first-hand rules and regulations, laws and regulations, and government announcements from the Ministry of Magic... Of course, it also includes some major accidents and disasters that have occurred in the magical world, or international affairs - the requirement in this regard is accuracy. , like Professor Binns' "History of Magic" class, an objective document without emotions.
As for the current affairs commentary section, it continues the original style of "The Quibbler", where you can speak freely about any situation. In this regard, the sharpness of the writing and the quality of the writing will be used as the criteria for selection, and it remains the same. There was Xenophilius Lovegood for screening and editing.
The only change is that this time the submission options include the option to “submit anonymously”.
"The Quibbler" magazine will use the credibility of Hogwarts as a guarantee, and will not disclose the real names of contributors under any circumstances, and will uniformly use foreign pseudonyms like LIMING, HANMEIMEI, etc. In Elena's expectation, The anonymity function will appear as a value-added paid link after the free period.
Of course, the "official navy" of the Ministry of Magic has to pay from the beginning. Each review article costs five galleons, which only covers the shipping cost, and the polishing fee is additional.
In this way, if Elena is not wrong, under such a strange social system as the UK, a rich and colorful manuscript can be inspired and collected, which will be very important for her and Grindelwald in selecting and establishing the magical world in the future. When making big data portraits of wizards, it is undoubtedly the most reliable information reserve.
Of course, just relying on the cold news, as well as the confrontation and fighting between the "naysayers" and the "Five Galleons Navy" is just to seize the existing mainstream news media in the magic world, such as "Wizard Weekly", "Daily Prophet", etc. The inherent position is still not enough for Elena.
In order to maximize the advantages of "The Quibbler" and strive to defeat all competitors at once after the first revision and reach a height that they cannot catch up in a short time, "The Quibbler" has added new elements to the magical world Special section for secret past events.
This aspect alone is divided into "How not to get lost in your own home"-Hogwarts Castle section, "Today in History"-Magical Era section, and "Exploration and Discovery"-Other hidden areas in the wizarding world. Even if these three are taken alone, they can become the content of a popular publication.
Among them, the first Hogwarts section is mainly completed by Elena, Filch, Fred and George. It mainly introduces the various magical rooms and fast passages in Hogwarts Castle. , as well as the distribution areas and interesting secrets of important ghosts and portraits.
The twin brothers Fred and George are the easiest to convince. They are interesting, exciting, and have a lot of gold galleons as remuneration. This is really an irresistible temptation for the Weasley family who are not very well-off. .
As for persuading Argus Filch, it depends on another aspect.
Thanks to the army of shouting letters some time ago, Hogwarts faculty and staff suddenly mastered a forbidden skill: [Sue to Parents], but most professors have not yet figured out how to use this skill.
Therefore, Elena is ready to tell Filch that if he is willing to help provide and point out the distribution of facilities and convenient access in some schools, "The Quibbler" will allow him to conduct a "public execution" once a month—— Publish the list of students who committed disciplinary offenses at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that month, including specific disciplinary violations.
In this way, on the one hand, considering the issue of reputation, Filch could not be too neurotic about targeting the young wizards, and on the other hand, the young wizards could not dare to violate school rules too blatantly, otherwise they might have to go home. Just a fat beating.
Except, of course, for certain orphans.
In addition, there are sections used to introduce the beautiful animals and magical creatures living in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, as well as the stories of wonderful magical creatures outside the school. They are mainly dictated by Hagrid and written by Mr. Newt Scamander. Editor - On this point, perhaps Professor Dumbledore needs to come forward.
"This Day in History" - The Magical Era section is of course organized by Elena, Hermione and Hannah, but the content review is mainly done by Professor Binns, and the first draft revision is by the enthusiastic author of "History of Magic" I did it myself.
"Exploration and Discovery" - other hidden areas in the magic world, in fact, mainly tells about some high-risk and high-density magic areas. The main person in charge is "Mr. Otto", and the titles of several issues are called: [The Lost Castle of Nurmengard 】.
The remaining Quidditch section and Magical Academic Exchange section are soliciting submissions from wizards across the magical world.
According to Elena's initial plan, at least one-third of the gold galleons will be invested in this aspect to attract attention.
The principle of buying horse bones with thousands of gold is applicable to both the East and the West.
Then, at Elena's insistence, "The Quibbler" specially opened up an inconspicuous little tofu cube location.
Both the name and the space it occupies are very compact: an explanation of elementary mathematics problems.
Perhaps in the near future, Ravenclaw students, as well as those little guys who want to sneak into Ravenclaw and pick up girls, will buy a copy every week.
As for the last one, which is the most important, in Elena's long-term plan, as long as the floo network is opened and the virtual currency settlement mechanism is established, this will be a platform that can simultaneously carry "eBay", "Taobao.com", "Are you hungry?"... These giants of the future Internet era are the prototype of the magical world.
It is the "Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue" section that occupies at least one-third of "The Quibbler" with pictures and text!
