The result of the punishment was decided quickly, and everyone involved in the fight was locked up.

Because of Lockhart's urging, Harry, Irwin and Hermione were sent to answer letters from his admirers, while Ron, Colin and Neville helped Filch clean and polish the silverware in the prize room .

Apart from Malfoy going to clean up Snape's office, Slytherins and the rest of the Gryffindor Quidditch team are going to clean up the Quidditch grounds because Fred and George threw too much shit Not an easy job because of the eggs.

At dinner, Harry looked devastated, telling the others that it must be terrible to answer Lockhart's letters, and that he'd rather be cleaning the silverware or cleaning the Quidditch ground.

Hermione was even more frustrated than him. She said with a grumpy face, "Look at the good things you guys have done. There is only one day left before the official publication of the newspaper, but everyone is locked up. A nightmare. Ivan, you shouldn't be so impulsive, and Ron too, you're still spitting out snot, for Malfoy, it's not worth it at all."

Hearing Hermione's accusation, Ron didn't know how to answer.

He lowered his head and whispered to Harry that during the fight, Hermione seemed more excited than anyone else, but now she blamed the others for being too impulsive. Of course, his voice was very low, and no one heard it except Ivan who was sitting next to Harry.

"Don't get excited, Hermione!" Fred reassured her. "After all, we won in the end, didn't we?"

"This is the first time we use big dung eggs to attack others openly, and the effect is amazing!" George looked at the long Slytherin table with satisfaction. There was a stench everywhere, and no one wanted to approach it.

"To celebrate this victory, we should have a party." The two said together.

"Take dirty things and throw others, I should really write to tell your mother about this!" Hermione looked at them angrily.

"Let them go, Hermione!" Aiwen hurriedly pleaded for the twins, "After all, they are here to help us. Malfoy called you and me Mudblood first."

"What the hell does that mean? Of course, I can hear it being very rude." Hermione looked relieved.

"A very nasty phrase," Ron explained. "A mudblood is a slur for Muggle-borns, people whose parents don't know magic. Some wizards, like the Malfoys, always feel that I am superior to other people because they are so-called purebreds."

"Blood discrimination." Ivan added, "Voldemort used this reason to slaughter Muggles."

Upon hearing the mysterious man's name, the dining table fell silent, and many people trembled, especially Ginny, who looked terrified.

"Forget about this, what should we do now?" Hermione was the first to recover.

"I have a way to persuade Professor Lockhart to let us go early."

"Really, Ivan!" Harry raised his voice sharply.

"Of course, Harry, but at the expense of your being there."

Hearing Ivan's words, Harry became depressed again.

When they rushed to Lockhart's office after dinner, Ivan asked Lockhart to let him and Hermione go back to write the manuscript, because there was only one day left before the official release of the "Hogwarts Magic News", and they still had A lot of work is not done.

Lockhart readily agreed to Ivan's request, after all, in his eyes, this is a newspaper run exclusively for him by his admirers.

Ignoring Harry's pitiful look at him, Ivan pulled Hermione away without looking back, and the two rushed to the library with a large pile of parchment.

"It's really a lot of work!" Aiwen smiled wryly, "By the way, we can ask Ginny to come over to help, she should not be punished for confinement."

"She went to help Fred and George clean up the Quidditch field. It's full of shit. I feel really sorry for her with two brothers like that."

"Okay, Hermione!" Ivan sighed, "Fred and George are still good, everyone likes them."

"I'm not saying they're bad people, but if there weren't so many pranks, maybe..."

"Um, Hermione, I just wanted to ask, what are you writing?" Seeing that Hermione wanted to continue, Ai Wen hurriedly changed the subject.

"An article calling on everyone to pay attention to school violence." Hermione paused, "But after listening to you explain what Mudbloods mean, I'm going to replace it with protecting the legal rights of Muggle-born wizards. My task tonight is Get it done, and I'll leave the rest to you!"

After speaking, Hermione got up and went to the library to look for related books.

Ai Wen rearranged the advertising section by himself, and replaced the fighting incident that happened today with the headlines on the front page.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and Gryffindor was in a festive atmosphere for the past two days.

Many people have heard about the scuffle on Saturday afternoon. Although the final result was evenly matched, just seeing those smelly Slytherin students knew that Gryffindor had actually taken advantage.

Gossip was flying all over the sky, and Aiwen once again became the focus of attention. People cheered wherever he went, especially the scene where he knocked Malfoy into the air. There were at least a dozen versions circulating in the school.

In addition, Ron, who has been spitting slugs, is also the subject of discussion. Everyone is discussing what kind of magic spell can have such an effect. Almost all books about magic spells in the library are borrowed. gone.

In fact, apart from Slytherin, the students of the other three houses regretted not seeing that wonderful scene with their own eyes.

In this way, everyone is full of expectations for the upcoming first issue of "Hogwarts Wizardry", because there is news that the newspaper will introduce the whole story of the battle and the spell used by Ron in detail.

On Monday morning, Ai Wen got up early, and they took the newly printed newspapers to the entrance of the auditorium, and distributed them to everyone.

According to the pre-determined strategy, this issue of "Hogwarts Wizardry" is completely free, with the names of all staff members, article authors, and ordering methods on it. Fred and George even made up a song, but it was too ugly, and Professor McGonagall, who came to eat breakfast and dinner, stopped him sharply. But this did not stop everyone's enthusiasm. Except for Slytherin's public resistance, the newspaper was quickly snatched up by others.

In the auditorium, everyone was flipping through newspapers or discussing the contents above.

Except for the long table of Slaterin, they were at odds with the surrounding atmosphere. No one spoke, and everyone ate breakfast with sullen faces, as if they were attending a solemn funeral.

Because this kind of thing was expected to happen in advance, Ivan didn't count them at all when the newspaper was printed. He took more than a dozen thick newspapers to the teacher's seat and gave newspapers to every professor.

Dumbledore accepted it happily. Although Professor McGonagall pursed his lips, he seemed very proud of Ivan. Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout also took the newspaper with a smile; as for Lockhart, He directly turned the newspaper to the end, looked at his photo and smirked, and even asked Ivan to send him a few more copies.

The trouble was Snape. With a gloomy face, he gave Ivan a hard look, as if, like the Slytherin students, he didn't intend to talk to him at all.

However, after Ivan pretended to be careless and showed him the title of the article about Lily in the newspaper, Snape still took the newspaper with a look of disgust.
