Chapter 25 The Collapse of the Plot
Ai Wen still underestimated the influence of the Daily Prophet. The next morning when they agreed to reprint the Daily Prophet, he just had time to swallow a piece of bread when he saw a rain of owls pouring down.
"Look!"
I don't know who shouted, and all the students in the auditorium looked up and saw an astonishing scene.
Like a downpour, countless owls flew into the Hogwarts Great Hall one after another, covering almost the entire ceiling.
"Hogwarts school hall, Mr. Irving Mason!"
Ai Wen saw his name and address on an envelope carried by an owl. He frowned and reached for the letter. But three, four, and five owls flapped their wings and landed next to him. They stomped around and stepped on the butter, knocked over the salt shaker, and wanted to be the first to give him the letter.
"What happened?" Colin asked in surprise.
There was no answer, and seven more owls fell, but this time for Harry.
They screamed and flapped their wings, and the whole Gryffindor table was looking at them with their heads outstretched.
"I think I know what's going on, just look at this!"
Hermione said excitedly, she reached into the feather pile and caught a long-eared owl with a long barrel wrap. But before she could open the package, more than a dozen owls flew in and instantly surrounded her.
Ai Wen tore open the package that Hermione handed over, which contained the latest issue of the Daily Prophet. He unfolded it, and the article about Harry's mother, Lily Potter, was placed on the front page of the front page, with personal comments from Mr. Gouffy, editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, and Mrs. Bagshot, a well-known historian of magic.
Lockhart's photos and novels occupy prominent positions in the entertainment section and the novel section, respectively. Even Hermione's two commentary articles have a lot of space, just below Rita Skeeter's special commentary.
"These are letters from readers, all of them," said Hermione eagerly.
The letter in her hand was sent by a witch in her fifties. Her daughter died in a flight accident when she was eight years old. She sincerely thanked Hermione for her efforts in the safety of underage wizards. . More letters came from Muggle-born wizards thanking Hermione for saying what they had always wanted to say.
Unlike Hermione's cookie-cutter thanks, Harry's side was far more touching. People used the most gorgeous words to express their sadness for Harry's poor life experience.
As for Ai Wen, there are more voices of doubt.
People complained that some of the things he wrote were not clear, such as how Voldemort failed, what the last spell Lily used, and who the dark-haired boy on the pendant in her arms was.
"This man said they had a right to know the truth."
Ron opened a letter for Ai Wen and couldn't help muttering, "What does he want to know, why didn't he ask the mysterious man?!"
"Look at this, this woman suggests you go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries." Colin continued, "She seems to be a follower of You-Know-Who."
In fact, it is the classroom seat that is even more stressful than Ai Wen.
Almost every professor has received a large number of letters, including Professor Dumbledore and McGonagall. Readers who have read Ivan's article sincerely hope that the professors will take better care of Harry.
Facing the endless stream of owls, the two were overwhelmed.
Professor Snape next to them was much more straightforward. He took out his wand and waved it violently, and all the owls in front of him flew away in an instant.
Unlike Snape's rage, Lockhart was extremely excited. He received the most letters, and he took great pleasure in taking down each letter and putting them away in a special pocket, so that he could reply quickly to fans when he was free.
In any case, Ai Wen's article has an unprecedented response.
Adults are surprised and amazed that a few little wizards can write articles of this level. Most people think that what they say is very reasonable. Although the words are not accurate in some places, considering the ages of several people, this point Imperfections are negligible.
The editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, Mr. Gouffy, expressed his willingness to reprint all the articles of Irving, Hermione and Lockhart for a long time, which greatly enhanced the reputation of the Hogwarts Wizard. Now, in addition to the young wizards in the school, there are even adult wizards outside the school willing to subscribe to the newspaper.
Taking advantage of the advantages obtained in the first issue, Ai Wen successfully launched several subsequent issues, each of which was printed in about 800 copies.
Everything began to become formal. The "Hogwarts Wizard" became a part of the daily life of several young wizards. It received more and more submissions, and the newspaper made a small profit. Hogwarts professors and students gradually adapted. Owl Rain for breakfast every Wednesday.
Because there are not many gold Galleons earned so far, Aiwen bought a small amount of potion materials for himself and a new quill pen for Hermione after careful planning. Reid and George's research.
With adequate supply of raw materials, the twins achieved good results.
In addition to more and more magical fireworks, they have also developed retractable ears that can be used to eavesdrop, automatic ink jet quills, nosebleed nougat that makes nosebleeds after eating them, and tongue-increasing ones. Fat Tongue Toffee.
These things are fun, and certainly fraught with danger.
Fred and George received a lot of orders, and many little wizards expressed their anticipation for their new products. However, Percy and Hermione wouldn't let them give other people what they didn't study. No way, they had to experiment with themselves, which led to the twins spending more and more time in the school hospital.
Madam Pomfrey, the head nurse, was in a hurry, and even without the occasional mess from Fred and George, she would be so busy every day.
Because since the beginning of October, there has been a sudden cold in the school.
Ginny has been very sick lately, and even Ivan was not spared. They were forced by Percy to drink some refreshments made by Mrs. Pomfrey, and then the two of them continued to smoke out of their ears for a long time. a period of time.
The lethargy brought on by the cold, the editorial review of newspaper articles, and the increasingly onerous classwork have greatly reduced Ivan's attention to the secret room.
Fortunately, Ginny's behavior was not abnormal except for her pale face recently. She went to the library every night to help Hermione sort out her manuscripts. Del control.
Ivan found time to talk to her, and Ginny said she had never seen a black diary.
This surprised Ivan. If Tom Riddle's diary was not with Ginny, where would it be? Or Lucius Malfoy didn't give Ginny the diary at all. How could this be possible? Comes the butterfly effect.
But anyway, the plot has changed, and Aiwen's biggest advantage is gone!
After worrying for a while, Ai Wen didn't make up his mind, so he had to put this matter aside.
Tom Riddle had better never show up, and as to how to destroy the Horcrux, that's something Dumbledore should worry about.
