Chapter 407: Let's Make Soup!(4,000 Words!Begging for Feed!)

Hogwarts represents the future of the wizarding world, or at least the British wizarding world.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Elena knew that the core element of "Singing Bad" to expand and consolidate its influence was to involve and bind all Hogwarts teachers and students to this magazine through the symbiosis of various dimensions.

Although the publicity party of Gryffindor House was an accident, it was actually in Elena's original plan, but it was slightly ahead of schedule. In order to further expand her influence, Elena plans to spread the same promotional poster to the other three colleges this weekend, accelerating the growth of "Singing Against the Tune" as much as possible.

However, in this way, the task of Elena and the others in the next few days will be a little heavier.

After all, there is a limit to a person's energy, and even Elena can't follow up the progress of each plate in every detail, so on Friday morning, the four of Elena had a more detailed division of labor.

Since Xenophilius Lovegood is still in charge of reviewing manuscripts outside of school, for Elena, they only need to focus on those sections related to Hogwarts.

Hannah and Luna will be mainly responsible for some of the content sections that deal with people, such as "Exploration?Discovery", "A Bite of Hogwarts", of course, including the collection of submissions for the next issue of "Singing and Singing", publicity work, etc. - with the two brothers Fred and George on the side, Elena is still more comfortable with this part.

Similarly, on the occasion of this breakfast, Dumbledore also announced to the whole school that the history of magic would be temporarily substituted by Mr. "Otto Apocalis", and as a full-fledged professor of the history of magic, it became more and more logical for Grindelwald to participate in the compilation of the subsequent "Hogwarts calendar".

However, in this way, the content of the first issue may need to be slightly adjusted, mainly to excerpt and supplement the story of the Big Four founding of Hogwarts in "Hogwarts, A School History", and the "In Search of the Lost Newmongard" series is better placed in a slightly lower position to avoid unnecessary suspicion.

Elena and Hermione, on the other hand, are mainly organizing content sections that require a more systematic approach.

For example, "Into the Magic", "Today in History", "The Jewel in the Crown of Wisdom", ...... Of course, it is natural that a good student and an outstanding student cadre like Percy Weasley will also fill this job as free labor.

In general, the content of the first issue will be relatively simple, mainly some of the most basic introductions and sorting.

However, in order to make the magazine more interesting, Elena specially added some interesting little easter eggs to it.

One of the most satisfying things for her is, of course, the mention in the "Discovery" section of a mysterious room on the eighth floor of the castle, guarded by two ugly stone statues, which hides elves who can grant all wishes - the way to open it is very simple, and the password is the name of some kind of snack or dish in the wizarding world.

Imagine that at midnight, a group of energetic lions gathered around the door of the principal's office, and began to announce the name of the dish in a low voice, such a scene could be a source of happiness for Elena even if he thought about it for a while.

Not to mention, what kind of ecstasy it must have been when the energetic little wizard walked down the spiral staircase into the headmaster's office and saw the kind old wizard who had no taste for three meals a day......

That's right, the devil is never absent.

As a member of Hogwarts, since Elena has prepared a question bank for the Ravenclaw eaglets, it is natural that she will not forget to prepare adventure copies for the Gryffindor baby lions.

According to such a development plan, it should be the turn of the noble and elegant Slytherin House, as well as the loyal and honest Hufflepuff House, in fact, Elena has already thought of a surprise arrangement for these two houses in her heart.

Of course, these are just spices for boring school life, and what really matters at the moment is the promotion and solicitation of "Singing Against the Tune" and "A Bite of Hogwarts" in schools.

You know, Elena didn't want to brand "Singing Against the Tune" too much of a Gryffindor house.

However, judging from the current progress and publicity, in terms of the overall proportion of participants, there has actually begun to be an imbalance in the proportion of the colleges, so she must find a way to quickly spread the market and reputation in the other three houses as she did in Gryffindor House.

The most important thing is the proper and reliable "tap water......

Hufflepuff House is not very troublesome, after all, this is more or less the home of Elena and Hannah, but any young wizard who participated in the brawl between the two houses will sell them a few points of face in the first year.

As for Ravenclaw College, there is nothing to worry about at all.

Elena had already taught Luna the "cheats of cutting off legs" to solve the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage, and with this weighty knock on the door, the eaglets who spent several nights in the sleeping bags in the corridor on the sixth floor would take the initiative to help Luna promote "Singing Contradiction" - especially when they learned that the publication would also be updated with the content of the "Pearl of Wisdom".

The only difficulty is that Slytherin House is highly hierarchical and hierarchical.

But fortunately, the right person to open the channel has now taken the initiative to send it to the door.

Elena tilted her head slightly, glancing at the three Draco Malfoys walking towards the Hufflepuff table, the corners of her mouth curled in a pleasant arc.

The Malfoy family has been able to stand tall in the wizarding world for so many years, and there is indeed a certain reason.

It was clear that the well-informed Draco Malfoy had vaguely heard something from the mouths of the young wizards around him.

"Happy birthday, Granger. Sorry for being a little late. ”

However, to Elena's surprise, Malfoy walked over and stopped in front of Hermione Granger first.

Draco Malfoy greeted him with a slight unnatural greeting, and then quickly gestured to Goyle behind him, took out a large gift box, scratched his cheek and continued.

"This is a set of the best quills box of the Blotted Bookstore, an automatic error correction notebook, and a shorthand magic pen...... Well, it's all just sent from Diagon Alley, and it hasn't been opened yet, I hope you like it. ”

"Eh, thank you, Draco. ”

Hermione flickered slightly, glanced at the gift box in front of her, and with a look of surprise on her face, she generously took the gift box from Goyle's hand - this set of stationery she had seen when she was walking Diagon Alley before, but because it was not listed in the school list, her parents did not buy it for her.

However, compared to the surprise Hermione, the mood of a certain white-haired dumpling who protects food is not so good.

"Huh?!"

Elena narrowed her eyes slightly, snorted softly, and looked thoughtfully at Draco Malfoy.

...... This little Zhengtai may be able to be used to make soup?

Danger, danger!

At the same time, Draco Malfoy's heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Elena who was smiling next to him, and for some reason, he seemed to feel a kind of dΓ©jΓ  vu pressure...... By the way, when I accidentally touched the ice cream of my eldest sister's head, I felt like this.

As for the reason this time......

Draco Malfoy glanced at Elena in his empty hand, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

If the eldest sister of Elena forgot to buy a gift, then wouldn't he make the eldest sister lose face by doing so!

In the next moment, Elena quickly felt how remarkable the Malfoy family's ancestral desire to survive and the natural instinct to serve the "Dark Lord" clan were.

"Well, Granger, you don't have to thank me, these are all things that Sister Elena reminded me to help buy. ”

Draco Malfoy swallowed and said quickly without hesitation.

As he explained in time, Malfoy felt the murderous aura that lingered around him begin to fade rapidly.

"Elena, you're wasting money again...... Actually, you don't have to spend so much. ”

Hermione looked at Draco Malfoy with a sincere face, turned her head suspiciously, and muttered a few words to Elena, but the surprise in her eyes was obviously a little brighter, and her face was filled with a brighter smile.

"Next time, all you need is a cake, otherwise I won't have the money to buy you a gift for your birthday." ”

Elena glanced at Malfoy rather in surprise.

This kid is very spiritualβ€”yes, a malleable talent!

"Ahem, this thing...... Hermione, you don't care. It's enough to have you with me on my birthday."

For this kind of free brushing of favor, Elena naturally won't deny it, but out of the majesty of the eldest sister's head, she can't do something that she can't admit directly with a cheeky face - how embarrassing it would be if it was debunked later.

After a slight pause, Elena turned her head to look at Draco Malfoy, who had already arrived in front of her, looking a little apprehensive, and asked with a rather playful expression.

"Alright, Draco, do you have anything to ask me for? ”

"That...... Sister Elena, I heard Harry say that you're working on a revision of the publication?"

"That's right!" Elena smiled and nodded, "This is the same magazine that was sent to everyone's table at dinner yesterday, but the next issue may be very different, because Hogwarts has decided to inject money. And the heads of some of the main sections are me, Hermione, and Hannah. ”

"It's amazing to be the head of a magazine, it's the first time in Hogwarts' history, right?"

Draco Malfoy looked at Elena with admiration on his face, and let out a heartfelt sigh of thumbs and ears.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it mainly depends on the results of everyone's joint efforts, and I can't complete a subversive revision of a magazine alone. Hermione, Hannah, and Mr. Lovegood's family, as well as Ron's brothers and the professors at the school, all helped a lot. ”

"Of course, I've heard Harry say it. I mean...... Well, if I can, I can actually help, as long as you don't mind, Sister Elena, whether it's the revision of "Singing Against the Tune" and the call for submissions, or other places. ”

Draco clenched his fists a little nervously, subconsciously stood up straight, glanced at Elena, who was unresponsive, cleared his throat, and continued with some hesitation.

"I mean...... Even if I can't, the Malfoys are here to help, I can write a letter to Dad and ask him to help get in touch and spread the word about it, as well as the Slytherin House and the Hogwarts Board of Trustees......"

"The Malfoy family and the school board?"

Elena raised an eyebrow and glanced at little Malfoy with leeks on his teeth, a boy who had an extraordinary talent for cheating on his fatherβ€”but it wasn't a good habit.

I have to admit that different family environments have different impacts on children's growth.

Compared with Hannah and others, Draco Malfoy has a particularly keen sense of how to choose a team in time and expand his social circle, which happens to be lacking in children from families like Hannah and Luna - such as the skills to deal with people, how to gracefully control the topic, and just the right way to think about the situation......

However, there are pros and cons, since she has already thought about including this little guy in the camp in the future, Elena naturally will not watch Malfoy turn into the shape of Lucius Malfoy like in the original book in her previous life.

"I'm sorry, Draco. ”

Elena shook her head slightly, her lake-blue eyes looking at Malfoy, and said in a deliberate serious tone.

"As I said before, this publication is funded directly by Hogwarts and directly supported by the Ministry of Magic. In other words, it represents the style and image of the school, so we don't need any support from the board of trustees...... We only need the best wizards, people, not family and capital. ”

"Draco, none of the things you're talking about are what Contrarian needs right now. Again, I don't think they will be needed one day, even in the future, if all goes well. I think I made that clear, right?"

"Elena......" Hermione gently poked the white-haired ball next to her, this tone was inevitably too fierce.

"I think I get what you mean, Sister Elena......"

Draco Malfoy opened his mouth and lowered his head in frustration.

"YOU KNOW NOTING, Draco Malfoy!"

Seeing Draco's dejected look, Elena couldn't help but burst out laughing, unable to hold back the seriousness on her face any longer.

"Don't be stupid, Malfoy. In fact, I'm about to invite you to join us in the work of Singing Against the Tune, and I expected you to be in a very important position. ”

"But, as you just said, you only need the best wizards, and if I put aside my family and my father......"

"You're still the best Slytherin first-year wizard, a hero who has the courage to defy the seniors, and one of the few elites in the school who know how to communicate properly and build social circles. ”

As she spoke, Elena thought for a moment and took out a large roll of propaganda posters from under her stool and stuffed it into Draco Malfoy's arms.

"Draco, you'll be the coordinator of Slytherin's publicity. Your first task is to help Hannah complete the fundamentals of "Singing Against the Tune" in Slytherin House. As for the more detailed content and our overall plan for "Singing the Opposite", Hannah will explain it to you later. ”

"At the same time, I also solemnly extend an invitation to you, hoping that you will serve as the official spokesperson of "Singing Contrarian". ”

The main thing is that Elena has other arrangements this afternoon, and she really can't wear a Slytherin uniform to help Hannah and the others support the show, and with Draco Malfoy by her side, she will also be relieved that the publicity of "Singing Against Tune" in Slytherin House - I hope everything goes well, and there are no moths.

As for her, there is one more very important thing to do with the dear "grandparents......
