Maybe Luna's words played a role, maybe Ivan's mentality changed, and after breakfast, things started 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, Ivan still noticed that the parchment was full of tears. Last night must have been very difficult for him.
But the little lion of Gryffindor never lacks the courage to face difficulties.
Harry recovered quickly, and he was very grateful to Ivan for letting him know what happened on the day his parents died. Ivan sent him Bathilda Bagshot's reply letter, and Harry put it away very solemnly.
After two herbal medicine classes, Ivan followed the freshmen to the castle for flying lessons.
Ever since he came into contact with the broomstick in the Weasley family during the summer vacation, Ivan discovered that he had a strong fear of heights. After he explained the situation to Mrs. Hooch, he was allowed to stand aside without flying.
This made those Slytherin freshmen extremely frustrated. According to the fine tradition of the two houses, they originally planned to find an opportunity to teach Ivan a lesson in this class.
Now that they had no chance, they set their sights on other Gryffindor freshmen. The thin and small Colin was the focus of care, but with the excellent performance of Ivan's roommate Vicky Frobisher, they did not take advantage of it. how cheap.
Everyone was rampaging on broomsticks, and the flying class ended in a chaotic farce. Except for Ivan, the freshmen of Gryffindor and Slytherin were all severely reprimanded by Mrs. Hooch, and each buckled down. five points.
Seeing Vicky's flying talent, Ivan thought he could recommend him to join the Gryffindor Quidditch team. This guy will definitely become an excellent goalkeeper, provided he doesn't care so much about his appearance.
But he soon ran out of energy to think about these things, and as the first issue of the "Hogwarts Wizarding News" got closer and closer, Hermione became more and more hysterical.
Now, for the rest of Gryffindor, she has completely replaced Snape as the scariest person, which Ivan feels the most.
In the next few days, under the supervision of Hermione, he spent almost all his time in the library. The two of them reviewed and revised all the manuscripts over and over again, so that he could only finish his classwork after ten o'clock in the evening .
Likewise, Harry and Ron complained that Hermione didn't lend them their homework, but they kept their mouths shut under the latter's glare.
Compared with Ivan, they are simply too lucky, as long as they complete an article introducing Hogwarts Quidditch.
Everyone was busy preparing manuscripts, but Hermione was still dissatisfied, and she complained the most about the magic academic communication section.
"Ivan, so far, we have only received two submissions." Hermione took out two long pieces of parchment, "One is "The Current Situation and Development History of the Crucible" written by Percy, and the other is about the "How to Find the Crooked Snork" by Luna Lovegood, Venklaw."
The Crucible and the Horned Snork, Aven couldn't tell which was worse, or both.
"If there is no other choice, let's post Luna's article first." Ai Wen stopped the quill, "Her father ran a magazine called "The Quibbler", which specially published such articles. Yes, there may be many people who like to watch this kind of stuff."
"Oh, really?!" Hermione's voice was full of doubts.
"Maybe, yes!" Looking at the roughly compiled "Hogwarts Wizardry" beside him, Ivan sighed like this. In his opinion, this thing is not much better than "The Quibbler".
It is not the same as originally imagined, the quality of the manuscript is too low.
The first three articles introduce the interesting news that happened at Hogwarts in a week, but limited by the sources of news articles, most of them are related to Gryffindor.
The fact that Ivan, Harry, and Ron arrived at school in a flying car for a meeting was the headline, and things related to Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff only occupied a small part. As for Slytherin, apart from Malfoy's provocation a few times, there was almost no other news.
Next, the comment section that followed was all comment articles written by Hermione, which were filled with various legal clauses and preaching tone, and took up five pages. Ivan was not sure if anyone would read them. go in.
Not surprisingly, these articles should be skipped by most young wizards.
As for the board that Fred and George were in charge of, there were articles about the daily changing rules of the Hogwarts stairs, as well as commonly used secret passages, which could be somewhat helpful to freshmen and should attract some readers.
But the twins must have saved their hands. 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 are excerpts from the original text in the book. If you have time to read these things, it is better to go to the library to read books.
As for the academic exchange section, because the decision to publish Luna's "How to find the horned snorkel" was a disaster.
"From this point of view, the story I wrote about Harry's mother Lily is the highlight of this issue, and it can be promoted on the front page." Ivan flipped the newspaper in his hand to the next one, and then covered it weakly On the forehead, a dozen newspapers behind him were all pictures of Lockhart.
Lockhart is in class, Lockhart is grading homework, Lockhart is eating, Lockhart is waving his wand, Lockhart is helping other professors, Lockhart is...
Lockhart's shining smile was everywhere, which made Ivan dizzy.
Behind the photo, there are stories written by Hermione introducing Lockhart's details in school. Even the most perfect and picky admirers can't find any loopholes in them. These articles are almost impeccable.
In Hermione's description, Lockhart is even greater than Dumbledore.
What followed was what Lockhart had never announced to the public. Since Lockhart himself deliberately leaked his words in class one day, girls came to Aiwen every day, hoping to see these things from him first. Content.
Although very unwilling, Ivan had to admit that the success of the first issue of "Hogwarts Wizarding News" depended entirely on Lockhart's personal charm.
"That's about it, everyone has done their best!"
Aiwen put down the sample magazine, turned to Hermione and said, "I plan to go to Hogsmeade on Saturday and talk to the merchants there, maybe they are willing to advertise in the newspaper."
"Hogsmeade is 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 specific Saturdays." Hermione stared at Ivan, her tone full of seriousness, " Moreover, there must be a guardian's signature and consent."
"Don't be like this, Hermione!" Ivan shrank back unconsciously, "I got a little help from Fred and George, there is a secret passage in the castle that no one knows leads to Hogsmeade .”
"Secret passage?!" Hermione shook her head, "If you get caught, you will be kicked out."
"As long as you don't say it, no one will find out." Ivan continued, "And we really need advertising expenses and sponsorship, otherwise there will not be enough money to print and distribute the next issue of the newspaper. You know, those ink and Paper is not cheap."
"But... ... "
"Don't worry, Hermione!" Ivan said with a big laugh, "I remember that Saturday was the first training day of the college's Quidditch team. Take a seat for me. If I'm fast, I'll be back in time to cheer for Harry. !"
