At that moment, Nicol, who was almost headless, floated over and floated between Evan and Harry.

"Hello, have you had a good summer, and a lot has happened this holiday!" he said in a deliberately sad tone, his head shaking around his neck, and he looked clearly prepared, as if reciting, "a lot of people have died, bad things happen every day, and the wizarding world is in a panic......"

"You're well-informed, you know everything. Ron said casually, shoving another piece of cake into his mouth, and he swallowed hard, making a muffled voice, "I dare say, you certainly didn't leave Hogwarts." ”

"I didn't leave, but I can see it in the newspaper. Nicol said angrily, a little unhappy that Ron interrupted him, "Every morning, Dobby, the house-elf, sends me the latest issue of Hogwarts Wizardry and Wizardry, and I tell him the news I have gathered from the castle, and I know what is going on in the wizarding world from there......"

In this way, Hogwarts Wizardry collects information on ghosts.

Every day, the apparitions of the house-elves appear to the residences of the ghosts, collect various information, and then feed it back to the newspaper headquarters, where a dedicated editor is responsible for sorting it out, and Dobby is responsible for the transmission of information about Hogwarts and Hogsmeade.

In this way, along with the house-elves hired by Fred and George's Shop, Evan and the others are now the second-largest home-based elf employer in the UK after Hogwarts, and the number of house-elves working for them is increasing. Next, if they can convince the house-elves in the underworld to come out and work, they will even surpass Hogwarts to become the largest house-elf employer.

.. The idea, this is a new idea she has come up with recently.

It sounds much more reliable than the previous simple propaganda and calling on everyone to be kind to house-elves.

Although they still refuse to accept wages and holidays, it is an indisputable fact that the salaries of house-elves have improved.

If this kind of treatment can become the standard for hiring house-elves to work, it may change the current situation.

Hermione's idea was good, but Evan felt that the fundamental problem with house-elves was that they were not servants hired by wizards, but slaves without wages and freedom, and that even if the practice of treating house-elves well became the standard, it would not change anything.

Because, that's the standard for "hiring" house-elves, and it's not the use of slave markings.

"Don't be so ignorant of ghosts, we have been dead for a long time, but we will try to accept new things. Nicol accentuated his tone and looked at Ron, who was struggling with food, "I now read the newspaper every day, and I don't miss every section, and I know everything about what is going on in the wizarding world from above, and what Evan is doing in Egypt. ”

"That's amazing. Ron said perfunctorily, not looking up at him.

"The ghost of being able to read a newspaper is truly remarkable. Elaine interjected.

"It's actually not that difficult, is it?" Nicol immediately turned to Elaine and said with a smile, "However, I am indeed the only one among the ghosts to do this, the other ghosts are impatient and find it troublesome, they all ask me for news, you remember......"

He told them that, with the help of the newspapers, he was now the most well-informed of all the ghosts.

Even Sir Podmore came to him for news.

This guy is the captain of the Headless Horseman's Club, and he has always looked down on Nicol because his head has not been completely cut off, and he and the other Headless Horsemen were invited on the day of Nicol's death party, and that night was a nightmare.

They made a mess of the party, and of course, the vast majority of ghosts thought it was funny.

Nicol concluded by saying that as a hobby, he thought reading the newspaper was more valuable than hitting his head around with a ball.

Evan was skeptical of his claim, and if it had been possible, he would probably have wanted to join the Headless Horseman Club.

And, with what Evan knew about that club, it was doubtful that they could talk to Nicol like that.

"You seem to be concerned about the situation in the wizarding world?"

"yes, the ghosts have been talking a lot about what's going on lately, and everyone wants to know the latest news, so that's why they're coming to me. Nicol said, "All kinds of rumors are spreading among us, and it is impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood. ”

"What are the rumors?"

"Many, most terrifying is that the mystery man and his followers are hunting us down, and there are a lot of ghosts missing. Nicol said, suddenly lowering his voice, "It is said that there is one of the most evil forms of black magic that requires the use of human souls. Ghosts are also a type of soul, so they're going to hunt us down, and that sounds scary, doesn't it? I can't imagine what kind of magic it is. ”

Evan blinked, he knew what kind of magic it was......

When transforming oneself into an evil god, one needs a lot of souls as energy and essential materials. Judging from the information we have learned so far, the specific casting process of this magic is divided in great detail, and the materials required are beyond imagination, and different souls have different uses, and it may involve a special soul such as a ghost.

So, Voldemort and they've already started to attack ghosts?

Or is it really just a rumor......

"Although I think the missing guys may have just gone into hiding, it is undeniable that this rumor has scared everyone all of a sudden, so many ghosts have come to Hogwarts. Nick said, resuming his normal voice, "After all, with Dumbledore here, this should be the safest place in the wizarding world right now." You may not know it, but it's reassuring that school safety measures are a hundred times stronger than before this holiday season. ”

As soon as he entered the school gates, Evan felt this, and there were protective spells everywhere.

In the past, it was possible to take people out with a portkey or a specific fireplace, but now this is not possible at all.

Of course, there are other vulnerabilities, and no matter how tight the protection is, it is not a panacea.

"Other than that, it's about the two of you that people ask about the most, and that's the main reason why I'm really popular. Nicol looked at Evan and Harry, their skinned heads bobbing dangerously on their wrinkled collars, and said with some smugness, "I'm pretty much seen as the authority on Evan Mason and Harry Potter, and everyone knows that we have a good relationship." However, I assure you that I will not pester you two to inquire about the situation. Evan Mason and Harry Potter knew they could trust me absolutely and put their hearts on me. I told them that I would rather die than betray their trust......"
