Aiwen still underestimated the influence of the "Daily Prophet". On the morning after they agreed to be reprinted by the "Daily Prophet", he had just had time to swallow a piece of bread when he saw a rain of owls pouring down.
"Look!"
I don't know who yelled, and all the students in the auditorium raised their heads and saw a surprising scene.
Like a downpour, countless owls flew into the Hogwarts Great Hall one after another, almost covering the entire ceiling.
"Hogwarts School Auditorium, Mr. Irving Mason!"
Ivan saw his name and address on an envelope carried by an owl, he frowned, and reached for the letter. But three, four, five owls landed beside him with flapping wings. They crowded around, stepped on the butter, knocked over the salt shaker, trying to be the first to give him the letter.
"What's going on?" Colin asked in surprise.
When no one answered, seven more owls landed, but this time they were looking for Harry.
They screamed and flapped their wings, and the entire Gryffindor table looked up.
"I think I know what's going on, you guys take a look at this!"
said Hermione excitedly, reaching into the pile of feathers and catching a long-eared owl with a long cylindrical wrap. But before she had time to open the package, more than a dozen owls flew in and surrounded her in an instant.
Ivan tore open the package Hermione handed over, and inside was the latest issue of the "Daily Prophet". He unfolded it, and the article about Harry's mother, Lily Potter, was put on the front page of the front page, with Mr. Guffey, the editor-in-chief of the "Daily Prophet", and Mrs. Bagshot, a famous historian of magic, commenting on it.
Lockhart's photos and , occupy prominent positions in the entertainment section and section respectively. Even Hermione's two review articles have a lot of space, just below the Rita Skeeter special review.
"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 plane 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-borns thanking Hermione for saying what they had always wanted to say.
Unlike Hermione's cookie-cutter thanks, Harry's side was much more touching. People used the most beautiful words to express their sadness at Harry's poor life experience.
As for Aiwen, there are more voices of doubt.
People complained that some things in his articles were not clear, such as how Voldemort failed, what was the last spell Lily used, and who was the dark-haired boy on the pendant in her arms.
"This man is saying they have a right to know the truth."
Ron opened a letter for Ivan, and couldn't help muttering, "What exactly does he want to know, why doesn't he ask the mysterious man?!"
"Look at this, this woman suggests that you go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries." Colin continued, "She seems to be a follower of the mysterious man."
In fact, the classroom seats are more stressful than Ivan.
Almost every professor has received a large number of letters, among which Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall are the most. 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 anger, Lockhart was extremely excited. He received the most letters, and he never tires of taking down every letter and storing them in a special pocket, so that he can quickly reply to book fans when he is free.
In any case, Aiwen's article received an unprecedented response.
The adults were surprised and surprised that a few young wizards could write articles of this level. Most of them thought that what they said made sense. Although some words were not accurate, considering the age of several people, this Blemishes are negligible.
The editor-in-chief of "Daily Prophet", Mr. Gu Fei, expressed his willingness to reprint all the articles of Ivan, Hermione and Lockhart for a long time, which greatly enhanced the reputation of "Hogwarts Wizardry". Now, in addition to the young wizards at school, there are even adult wizards out of school who are willing to subscribe to this newspaper.
Taking advantage of the advantages gained in the first issue, Ai Wen successfully launched the subsequent issues, each with a printing quantity of about 800 copies.
Everything started to go normal, "Hogwarts Wizard" became a part of the daily life of several young wizards, received more and more submissions, the newspaper made a meager profit, and Hogwarts professors and students gradually adapted to it. Owl rain for breakfast every Wednesday.
Because there are not many Galleons earned so far, Ivan bought himself a small amount of potion ingredients after careful calculation, and bought a new quill for Hermione. Red and George's research.
With the supply of sufficient raw materials, the twins have achieved good results.
In addition to more and more magical fireworks, they also developed retractable ears that can be used to eavesdrop, quills that spray ink automatically, nosebleed nougats that keep nosebleeds after eating them, and tongues that make their tongues bigger. Tongue Toffee.
These things are all fun, and of course fraught with danger.
Fred and George received a large number of orders, and many little wizards expressed their expectations for their new products. However, Percy and Hermione wouldn't let them give anyone else what they hadn't researched successfully. They had no choice but to experiment with themselves, which led to the twins staying longer and longer in the school hospital.
Madam Pomfrey, the head nurse, is so busy that she would be too busy every day without Fred and George.
Because since entering October, there has been a sudden epidemic of colds in the school.
Ginny has been sick recently, and even Ivan was not spared. They were forced by Percy to drink some refreshing potion made by Madam Pomfrey, and then the two of them continued to emit smoke from their ears for a long time. a period of time.
The lethargy caused by the cold, the editing and review work of newspaper articles, and the increasingly heavy classwork made Aiwen's attention to the secret room greatly reduced.
Fortunately, apart from her pale face recently, Ginny has not behaved abnormally. She goes to the library every night to help Hermione sort out the manuscripts. She should not have time to open the secret room, or she has not been caught by Tom. Del control.
Alvin found time to talk to her, and Ginny said that she had never seen a black diary.
This surprised Ivan. If Tom Riddle's diary is not here with Ginny, then where is it? Or Lucius Malfoy didn't give the diary to Ginny at all. How is this possible? Here comes the butterfly effect.
But anyway, the plot has changed, and Ivan's biggest advantage is gone!
After worrying about it for a while, Ai Wen couldn't figure it out, so he had to put the matter aside.
Tom Riddle had better never show up. As for how to destroy this Horcrux, that was something Dumbledore should worry about.
