Chapter 1041 ? "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"

Facing Allen's unexpected invitation, Rita Skeeter immediately said with a smile on her face: "That's great, Principal Harris, it's my honor."

"This is not a good place to talk..." Allen looked at the reporters around him and then pointed his head in the direction of the Ministry of Magic to signal Rita, "We will go to the Ministry to discuss the details."

Skeeter was wearing a banana-yellow robe today. She quickly explained a few words to the potbellied photographer beside her, and then walked towards Allen. Penello, who was standing aside, noticed her. Immediately staring at it, he immediately followed up and approached Allen.

Allen looked at Penello's serious and vigilant appearance, and secretly laughed in his heart, but when Allen looked at Rita who was dressed like a butterfly wearing flowers and looked particularly awkward, he felt helpless towards Penello's appearance. Skeptical behavior secretly sighs...

Skeeter didn't notice this, she quickly approached Ellen, giggling what she thought was charming, her big chin kept shaking-but then she felt Penello's cold gaze, seeing this A famous female devil in the Auror office, Skeeter felt a chill in her heart. Thinking of the relationship between the female Auror and Alan Harris she had heard, she immediately understood what Penello was thinking, and she walked away in fear. After taking a few steps towards Allen, he put away his ingratiating smile, his body stopped trembling, and his demeanor appeared more dignified and stable.

"Rita, don't worry, Penello is my guard, and I have something to discuss with her later." Seeing that the atmosphere became a little awkward, Allen found a reason for Penello to give her enough The reason to follow.

"Miss Clearwater's name has long been heard, and I think it would be perfect to have her accompany Principal Harris." After flattering Penello on the way forward, Skeeter couldn't wait to express his opinion, "When I saw you , I knew you would make great achievements. I didn't expect this day to come so soon. You defeated the mysterious man again. You are truly the strongest wizard...Principal Harris, what can I write for you? Just ask, and the Daily Prophet will be happy to serve Harris."

"The "Daily Prophet", as the official media that cooperates with the Ministry of Magic, should maintain its relative impartiality and maintain its transcendent status." Seeing that Rita would misunderstand, Allen simply explained, "I invite you this time. It's for more personal purposes and has nothing to do with the Daily Prophet."

Skeeter winked and did not pursue further. After all, the Daily Prophet does not belong to the private property of the Harris family, and now the other party is on the cusp of some actions. Harris seems to want to create a real newspaper that belongs to the Harris family. Her own paper media——Rita thought that the other party must have taken a fancy to her ability to be good at talking nonsense... eloquently.

The three sat down in a reception room of the Ministry of Magic. Penello, who was in a better mood, skillfully directed the teapots and teacups to fly over, and poured steaming black tea into each bone china teacup.

After sitting down, Alan didn't make too many detours, and asked directly: "Rita, I remember that you have a green 'shorthand quill pen', can this pen be used to write novels besides writing press releases? "

Skeeter heard the meaning of Allen's words clearly, and didn't expect that the other party really wanted her to write novels. Rita's eyes behind her jeweled glasses suddenly widened: "Minister Harris? Uh, I'm Excuse me, may I ask what kind of novel do you want to ghostwrite?"

"This is a series of long stories. I first estimated that I would write seven...but the first book is only about 200,000 words." Allen leaned on the sofa and consulted Skeeter, "I will give you How long will it take to complete an outline and some information to be written?"

"Give me three days, please,

In fact, my pen and I should be able to go faster, but this is the business of Principal Harris, I must check and polish it more..." Skeeter raised his thick eyebrows and spoke more confidently than usual, "I'm not Those third-rate female novelists who serialized their novels in some "starting point" magazine have fewer and fewer comments and feedbacks after ten thousand years of single updates. Not to mention... writing two thousand words a day and staying up until two o'clock... making them feel like Amos Dee Mr. Gorey went to the bathroom like..."

"Very good... I think our cooperation will be very pleasant... and the rewards it can bring you are beyond your imagination." Allen took a sip of tea and didn't understand the complaints of these writers. He leaned his body against the on the sofa, "Do I need to give you a summary of the story first?"

Skeeter's smile flickered slightly, and she guessed in her heart—Could it be that Allen wanted to promote Hogwarts, or because of the recent momentum, he wanted to write an autobiography for himself: "It would be great if it didn't delay you." It's gone." She opened the crocodile leather bag, pulled out her shorthand pen, pulled a piece of parchment from the desk, and swished a note across it.

"This novel, the story is mainly set in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Wizardry as the main stage, describes the protagonist - the young wizard student, Harry Potter, the boy who survived the catastrophe, learns life and adventure stories at Hogwarts... The content of the first book is probably that Harry, with the help of his good friends, broke through many difficulties and protected the Sorcerer's Stone..." Allen briefly described the general plot, "so the specific title of the first story will be "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", as for the specific story outline, I will send my phoenix to you later... By the way, don't feed it, it won't eat, and please don't try to pet it, it has a bad temper Great..."

Skeeter was very surprised, and she didn't expect Allen to use the outdated legendary savior Harry Potter as the protagonist, and to completely remove his own existence from the story, "Principal Harris, this If this novel is written in this way... I'm afraid it won't sell well." Her shorthand pen hovered above the parchment and stopped moving, "If it is to write a book of your autobiography, in the current form, it will definitely sell very well..."

"Alan, why did you choose that Harry Potter as the protagonist?" Penello, who was thinking about getting a heroine when he heard that Allen was going to write a book, said with some disappointment, " What's the point of his brash adventures?"

"Miss Clearwater is right, in fact I think that if it were writing your autobiography, Headmaster Alan Harris, Miss Clearwater could also be included in the story...it's interesting." Skeeter saw through Complimented Penello's intentions, and hoped that she could persuade Allen to change his mind and write a story of his own.

"Only the first book has this style. As the story progresses, the books in this series will become darker and darker one by one. Don't worry..." Allen explained calmly. "As for your worry that it won't sell well, this is not a problem, because this book is not for wizards, but for Muggles...My own story is too smooth, if it is Harry's situation The words are more literary..."

"Principal Harris!" With the scream of the female reporter, the green shorthand quill fell to the paper with a "snap", and Rita Skeeter grabbed her delicately combed paper regardless of her image. Curly hair, "Principal Harris! This story is all about our wizarding world. If it is published in the Muggle world... it may violate the "Secrecy Act" and cause the International Federation of Wizards to trouble us..."

"Who told you to talk to Alan like that?! Pay attention to your identity!" Seeing Rita disobeying Alan, Penelope next to him also forgot that they had just passed the united front for a short time, and her roar became a little sharp , "You'd better do what Allen wants!"

Being suddenly yelled at by the other party, Skeeter glanced at Penello in horror, then lowered his head and dared not make a sound, and the pair of jeweled glasses slipped down the bridge of his nose.

"Don't be so Penello, Rita's worries are actually for our own good..." Allen stroked Penello's shoulder to calm her down, and then personally directed the teapot to refill Skeeter's tea , "If the International Federation of Wizards pursues responsibility... I will take full responsibility for this matter. I don't think this is a big problem at all. There are more fantasy novels belonging to Muggles than exaggerated descriptions in the wizarding world... And you are not Ever wondered why I wrote it? I actually had a pretty good reason, it would benefit the entire wizarding world.”

Not only Skeeter, but Penello also seemed a little confused, and the two of them united again and asked why.

"You all know that in the first wizarding war, Tom took advantage of the fact that most of the people who dared to call him by that name were those who dared to resist him, and put a curse on this name. Once he said this name, he and His subordinates will be able to know the content of the brief conversation of the utterer after uttering the name and roughly know his location to retaliate... Just like ordinary wizards have always worried, he once again added to his name after returning this time. Cast this spell..." Allen raised his little finger in a somewhat British way, and took a sip of his own bone china teacup, "Think about it, when this book becomes a Muggle After our best-selling book, Muggles in every country in the world are saying it with their own unique accent, then You-Know-Who and his men will either be harassed into sleeplessness until they die...or have to take the initiative to break the spell...so we write this This novel is an act of justice...It is also to share the worries of the International Federation of Wizards..."
