Chapter 21 To Hogsmeade
Maybe Luna's words played a role, maybe Aiwen's mentality changed, and after breakfast, things began to develop for the better.
Harry returned the parchment, and he agreed to publish his mother's article in the newspaper. Although it was easy to say, Ai Wen still noticed that the parchment was full of tears. It must have been very difficult for him last night.
But the little lions of Gryffindor never lacked the courage to face difficulties.
Harry recovered quickly, and he was very grateful to Ai Wen for letting him know what happened on the day his parents died. Ai Wen sent Bathilda Bagshot's reply to him, and Harry put it away very solemnly.
After two herbal lessons, Ai Wen followed the first-year students to a flying lesson before the castle.
Ever since he came into contact with broomsticks at the Weasleys in the summer vacation, Irving discovered that he had a strong fear of heights. After he explained the situation to Mrs. Hooch, he was allowed to stand aside and watch without flying.
This made those Slytherin freshmen extremely frustrated. According to the good tradition of the two houses, they originally planned to find an opportunity to teach Ivan a lesson in this class.
Now that there is no chance, they turn their attention to other Gryffindor freshmen. The thin Colin is the focus of care, but under the excellent performance of Ivan's roommate Vicky Frobisher, they did not occupy the place. How much cheaper.
Everyone rode on broomsticks and rampaged, and the flying lesson ended in a chaotic farce. Except for Ivan, the freshmen of Gryffindor and Slytherin were severely reprimanded by Mrs. Hooch, and their respective deductions were made. five points.
Seeing Vicky's flying talent, Ivan was thinking that he could be recommended for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. This guy would definitely be a good goalie, provided he didn't care so much about his appearance.
However, he soon had no energy to think about these things, and as the first issue of "Hogwarts Wizarding News" got closer and closer, Hermione became more and more revealing.
Now, for the rest of Gryffindor, she has completely replaced Snape as the most terrifying person, which Ivan feels the most.
For the next few days, under the supervision of Hermione, he spent almost all his time in the library, two people reviewing and revising all the manuscripts over and over again, so that he could only complete his classwork after ten o'clock in the evening .
Likewise, Harry and Ron complained that Hermione wouldn't lend them their homework, but they kept their mouths shut when the latter glared at them.
Compared with Irving, they are simply too lucky to complete an article about Hogwarts Quidditch.
Everyone was busy preparing manuscripts, but Hermione was still dissatisfied. Among them, the academic exchange on magic was the one she complained the most.
"Evan, so far, we have only received two submissions." Hermione took out two long pieces of parchment, "One is Percy's "The Current Situation and Development of the Crucible", and the other is Laura "How to Find the Crooked Snorer" by Luna Lovegood."
The Crucible and the Crooked Snorer, Ivan couldn't tell which was worse, or both.
"If there is no other choice, just publish Luna's article first." Ivan stopped the quill, "Her father runs a magazine called The Quibbler, which publishes such articles, and I heard that the sales are still good. Yes, there are probably a lot of people who like to watch this kind of stuff."
"Oh, right?!" Hermione's voice was full of questions.
"Maybe, right!" Looking at the "Hogwarts Wizarding News" that was roughly compiled next to him, Ivan sighed like this. In his opinion, this thing is not much better than "The Quibbler".
Unlike initially imagined, the quality of the manuscript article is too low.
The three articles on the front page introduce interesting news that happened at Hogwarts a week, but limited by the source of the news, most of them are related to Gryffindor.
The fact that Ivan, Harry and Ron met the flying car to school was a front page headline, and the matters related to Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff only took up a small part. As for Slytherin, apart from Malfoy taking the initiative to provoke a few times, there is almost no other news.
Next, the comment section that followed was full of commentary articles written by Hermione. It was full of various legal clauses and preaching tones, which took up five pages. Ivan was not sure if anyone could read it. go in.
Not surprisingly, these articles should be skipped by most wizards.
As for the section in charge of Fred and George, there are articles about the daily changing rules of Hogwarts stairs and the commonly used secret passages, which can be somewhat helpful for new students and should attract some readers.
However, the twins must have kept a hand, at least relying on these, it is impossible to escape Filch, who is also familiar with the secret passage.
Ginny and Hagrid's introduction to magical creatures, and Harry and Ron's introduction to Quidditch, are quite satisfactory. In Ivan's view, they still haven't found any attractive highlights. Moreover, almost all of them excerpted the original text in the book. If you have time to read these things, it is better to go to the library to read the book.
As for the academic exchange section, the decision to publish Luna's "How to Find the Crooked Snorer" was a disaster.
"In this way, the story I wrote about Harry's mother Lily is the highlight of this issue and can be placed on the homepage for key publicity." Ai Wen turned the newspaper in his hand to the next article, and then covered it weakly. The forehead, and the dozen or so newspapers behind it are all pictures of Lockhart.
Lockhart is in class, Lockhart is correcting homework, Lockhart is eating, Lockhart is waving his wand, Lockhart is helping other professors, Lockhart is...
Lockhart's shining smile was everywhere, making Ivan dizzy.
Behind the photo is a story written by Hermione about the details of Lockhart's school days. Even the most perfect and critical admirer can't find any loopholes in it. These articles are almost impeccable.
In Hermione's description, Lockhart is even greater than Dumbledore.
It is followed by a novel that Lockhart has never released to the public. Since Lockhart himself deliberately leaked something in class one day, girls come to Aiwen every day, hoping to see it first from him. the content of these novels.
Although very unwilling, Ivan has to admit that the success of the first issue of "Hogwarts Magic" depends entirely on Lockhart's personal charm.
"That's about it, everyone has done their best!"
Ivan put the sample down, turned to Hermione and said, "I plan to go to Hogsmeade on Saturday and talk to the businesses there, maybe they are willing to advertise in the newspaper."
"Hogsmeade, the only remaining pure wizarding village in the UK, but the school stipulates that only students in the third grade and above can go there on certain Saturdays." Hermione stared at Ivan, her tone full of seriousness, " Moreover, there must be a guardian's signed consent."
"Don't do this, Hermione!" Ivan shrank back involuntarily, "I got a little help from Fred and George, there is a secret passage in the castle that no one knows about all the way to Hogsmeade ."
"Secret passage?!" Hermione shook her head, "If you are caught, you will be driven out."
"As long as you don't say it, no one will find out," Ivan continued, "and we do need advertising and sponsorship, otherwise we won't have enough money to print the next issue of the newspaper, you know, those ink and Paper isn't cheap."
"But......"
"Don't worry, Hermione!" Ivan said with a laugh, "I remember that Saturday was the first day of the Academy Quidditch team's first training. Take a place for me. If I'm fast, I'll be back in time to cheer on Harry. !"
