Chapter 16 Preparing the Manuscript
Ivan and Ginny followed Hagrid into the cabin. Ham and pheasant hung on the ceiling. There was boiling water in a copper pot in the brazier. There was a large bed in the corner with a quilt made of rags.
Hagrid poured each a cup of tea, and brought out a large pot of rock cakes from the fireplace. Ai Wen picked up a piece curiously, and almost didn't break his teeth. Ginny on the side covered her mouth and snickered. She obviously knew about this and didn't move the things on the table.
The next time was very pleasant. Hagrid told the two of his impressions of each Weasley. It could be seen that the twins Fred and George had caused him a lot of pain, but he was not impressed by their Brothers Charlie and Hagrid were full of praise.
Immediately afterwards, the topic of the three came to Harry.
Hagrid once again thanked Evan for saving Harry from the Dursleys during the summer vacation.
"Poor Harry, how dare those nasty Muggles do this to him." Hagrid wiped the corners of his eyes with a large handkerchief and choked, "You don't know, when I took him out of the ruins of that house. , he's still a little fluffy."
"Ruins?!" A flash of light suddenly flashed in Ai Wen's head.
"Yeah, that used to be his home, in Godric's Hollow, where Jaime and Lily were killed by You-Know-Who." Having said this, Hagrid's eyes were filled with tears.
Ai Wen and Ginny took turns to hug Hagrid. It can be seen that this hybrid giant who is taller than everyone has rich emotions and is very kind.
Thanks to Hagrid, Evan already knew who he was going to write about. The first issue of historical figures wrote about Harry's mother, Lily, about what happened to her the day before she died.
This history is well documented, and it is the most famous magical event in modern times.
As one of the key figures, I believe that many people are willing to know about what happened to the legendary woman Lily Potter that day. In addition, Ivan knows Snape's feelings for Lily, which can help his newspaper to clear the way Barriers to Slytherin House.
A few minutes later, when Hagrid's mood gradually calmed down, Ivan told him about the "Hogwarts Magic" and invited him to share his experience of caring for magical creatures on it.
"I don't know, Ai Wen!" Hagrid choked again and said gruffly, "I don't know if I can do this job."
"Don't worry, Hagrid!" Ivan reassured him, "You are the best in taking care of magical creatures, and no one at Hogwarts knows more than you."
In fact, no one needed the job more than Hagrid.
After working at the school for so many years, Hagrid was eager to convey his experience of taking care of magical creatures, and Irving's newspaper just provided such a platform.
Considering that Hagrid's standards for cute animals are not the same as normal people, Ivan suggested that he use unicorns as the magical creatures introduced in the first issue. Otherwise, depending on Hagrid's temperament, he might have to make some terrifying animals like three-headed giant dogs, eight-eyed spiders, and fried tail snails.
Decide which magical creature to introduce, and the rest is much easier.
Hagrid was in charge of looking for unicorns, while Aiwen brought people to take pictures on Friday afternoon, and organized and edited the breeding experience provided by Hagrid.
When Ivan and Ginny returned to the castle, they found that many people were surrounding the announcement and talking excitedly. He quickly knew what was going on, and in the afternoon, Fred and George had put up posters in front of all bulletin boards in the school.
Right now, everyone is talking about the Hogwarts Wizard.
"It's great, Ivan, a newspaper that is completely our own!" A Hufflepuff third-year student who Ivan didn't know suddenly came over and patted him on the shoulder.
From the gate to the restaurant, people kept coming over to greet him, most of whom were students that Ai Wen had never met before. However, they all seemed to know him.
At the dining table, Fred and George came over with smiles on their faces.
"The response is unprecedented, the effect is very good!" Fred said.
"We have already started to receive orders, and many people are ordering from us." George said.
In fact, the success of the propaganda poster not only made several people feel joy, but also made them feel pressure.
In the evening, in the corner of the Gryffindor lounge, all the Hogwarts Wizards staff held their first meeting, chaired by Hermione.
"So far, we have received a total of one hundred and sixty-eight orders, most of which are Gryffindor House students." Hermione quickly checked the parchment in hand, "But no one has contributed, and we are serious now. Manuscripts are missing."
"Relax, Hermione!" Ivan comforted her, "We still have time!"
"There are only five days left, and you guys haven't handed me the article in charge of the section." Hermione looked at Ai Wen with a serious face, "In addition to the manuscript, we still lack photos, I doubt you can You can't get these things before next week."
Seeing Hermione's appearance, Colin, who was sitting next to Ivan, tried to shrink back.
Because according to the division of labor, he should be responsible for preparing the photos, but apart from taking a few photos of Harry outside the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom when Harry was out of class, he spent the afternoon playing in the lounge with his roommates. Wizard Chess.
In the face of Hermione's continuous questions, Ivan quickly found that silence was the most correct way, and he looked up at Harry and Ron who were sitting opposite. Harry winked at him, and Ron nodded vaguely, signaling him not to contradict Hermione.
When Hermione shows great interest in something, try to go with what she says, and if you disagree, keep silent.
And just like that, everyone was silent except Hermione, and their first meeting was over quickly.
Harry and Ron were taken away by Hermione immediately, and they were going to interview Wood, the Quidditch captain of Gryffindor, to try to write an article about the House Quidditch team.
"She's horrible, like our mom!" Fred said.
"Yeah, if we don't get a good manuscript next week," George said.
"She's going to kill us," the twins said in unison.
Immediately afterwards, they dragged their little sister Ginny to another corner, seemingly wanting to write something about the Hogwarts spiral staircase.
Colin was going to the owl room to mail out the order for the development potion, while Ai Wen sat in front of the fire alone and started to write.
The letter was addressed to Bathilda Bagshot, a well-known historian of magic and friend of Dumbledore, who lived in Godric's Hollow and was a neighbor of the Potters.
Voldemort was there until the night he attacked, so she knew a lot of details.
Half an hour later, Ai Wen completed the letter.
He was very satisfied with what he had written. In the letter, he recounted his purpose in a tone of admiration from a younger generation, hoping to get help from the other party so that more little wizards would know about Lily and sincerely Invite her to be a historical advisor to The Hogwarts Wizard.
He went to the owl room and sent the letter out. Looking at the owl gradually disappearing into the night, a smile appeared on the corner of Ivan's mouth. I believe that it won't be long before the great headmaster Professor Dumbledore will learn from his old friend. , know this.
Ivan was confident that, with Dumbledore's help, Mrs. Bagshot would be happy to tell herself everything that happened that day.
