Chapter 16 Preparation of manuscripts
Evan and Ginny followed Hagrid into the cabin, where ham and pheasants hung from the ceiling, boiling water in a brazier kettle, and a large bed in the corner with a quilt made of rags.
Hagrid poured each of them a cup of tea and brought out a large pot of rock crust cakes from the fireplace. Evan picked up a piece curiously, almost missing his tooth, and Ginny on the side covered her mouth and snickered, she obviously knew about it, and didn't touch the things on the table.
The rest of the day was very pleasant, and Hagrid told the two of them about his impressions of each Weasley, and it was clear that the twins Fred and George had suffered a lot, but Hagrid was full of praise for their brother Charlie.
Immediately afterward, the three of them talked about Harry.
Once again, Hagrid thanked Evan for saving Harry from the Dursleys during the summer.
"Poor Harry, those hateful Muggles dare do this to him. Hagrid wiped the corners of his eyes with a large handkerchief and choked up, "You don't know, he was still a little hairy when I took him out of the ruins of that house. ”
"Ruins?!" a flash of inspiration flashed in Aven's head.
"Yes, it was his home, in Godric's Hollow, where Jaime and Lily were killed by the mysterious man. At this point, Hagrid's eyes were filled with tears.
Evan and Ginny took turns hugging Hagrid, and it could be seen that this half-blood giant, who was taller than everyone else, had a lot of emotions and was very kind.
Thanks to Hagrid, Evan already knew who he was going to write about, and the first issue of the historical figure wrote about Harry's mother, Lily, and what happened to her on the day she died.
This history is well documented, and it is the most famous magical event in modern times.
As a key figure, there are many people who are willing to know about what happened to the legendary woman Lily Potter that day, and Evan knows Snape's feelings for Lily, which can help his newspaper clear the way for entering Slytherin House.
After a few minutes, when Hagrid's mood had calmed down, Evan told him about Hogwarts Wizardry and invited him to share his experience of caring for magical creatures.
"I don't know, Aven!" Hagrid choked up again, sluscing out in a foul voice, "I don't know if I'm up to the job." ”
"Don't worry, Hagrid!" said to Aven, reassuring him, "you're the best at caring for magical creatures, and there's no one at Hogwarts who knows more than you do." ”
In fact, no one needs the job more than Hagrid.
After so many years at the school, Hagrid was eager to pass on his experience of caring for magical creatures, and Aven's newspaper provided just such a platform.
Considering that Hagrid's measure of cute animals is different from that of normal people, Evan suggested that he make unicorns the magical creatures he introduced in the first issue. Otherwise, according to Hagrid's temperament, he will have to make some terrifying animals like three-headed giant dogs, eight-eyed spiders, and fried tail snails.
Decide on the magical creatures you want to introduce, and the rest is much simpler.
Hagrid was in charge of finding the unicorn, while Evan and his men came over on Friday afternoon to take pictures and edit the breeding experience that Hagrid had provided.
When Evan and Ginny returned to the castle, they found a crowd of people gathered around the announcement, chatting excitedly. He soon knew what was going on, and by the afternoon, Fred and George had put up posters in front of all the bulletin boards at the school.
Right now, everyone is talking about Hogwarts Wizardry and Wizardry.
"Great, Aven, a newspaper entirely our own!" a third-year Hufflepuff student who Evan didn't know suddenly walked over and tapped him on the shoulder.
From the gate to the cafeteria, people kept coming to greet him, and most of them were students that Evan had not seen before. But they all seemed to know him.
At the table, Fred and George approached with smiles on their faces.
"The response was overwhelming, and the results were fantastic," Fred said.
"We have already started to receive orders, and quite a few people have ordered from us. George said.
In fact, the success of the poster made several people feel joyful at the same time, but also made them feel pressure.
In the evening, in the corner of the Gryffindor common room, the first meeting of all Hogwarts Wizardry staff was held, chaired by Hermione.
"So far, we have received a total of one hundred and sixty-eight orders, mostly from Gryffindor students. Hermione quickly checked the parchment at hand, "But no one has submitted, and we're seriously short of manuscripts right now." ”
"Relax, Hermione!" Evan reassured, "We still have time!"
"There are only five days left, and you guys haven't handed me the article in charge of the section. Hermione looked at Evan with a serious expression, "We lack photos other than manuscripts, and I doubt you'll be able to get these things by next week." ”
Seeing Hermione's appearance, Colin, who was sitting next to Aven, managed to shrink back.
Because according to the division of labor, he should be responsible for preparing the photos, but except for Harry, when he went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom to take a few pictures of Harry, he spent the afternoon in the break room playing wizarding chess with his roommates.
Faced with Hermione's incessant questions, Evan soon realized that silence was the right thing to do, and he glanced up at Harry and Ron, who were sitting across from him. Harry winked at him, and Ron nodded invisibly, motioning for him not to go against Hermione.
When Hermione showed great interest in something, try to follow her words and keep silent if she disagreed.
And just like that, everyone except Hermione was silent, and their first meeting was quickly over.
Harry and Ron were immediately taken away by Hermione, and they were going to interview Gryffindor's Quidditch captain Wood, in an attempt to write an article about the house's Quidditch team.
"She's horrible, like our mom!" Fred said.
"That's right, if we don't submit a qualified manuscript next week. George said.
"She's going to kill us. The twins said in unison.
Immediately afterward, they dragged their little sister Ginny to another corner, apparently trying to write something about the spiral staircase at Hogwarts.
Colin prepares to go to the owl's room to mail out the order for the development potion, while Evan sits alone in front of the fire and begins to write.
The letter was addressed to Bathilda Bashat, a famous historian of magic and a friend of Dumbledore's who lived in Godric's Valley and was a neighbor of the Potters.
They were there until the night Voldemort went to attack, so she knew a lot of details.
Half an hour later, Evan finished the letter.
He was very satisfied with what he had written, and in the letter, he described his purpose in the tone of a junior's admiration, hoping to get the help of the other party, so that more young wizards could know about Lily, and sincerely invited her to become a historical advisor to Hogwarts Wizardry and Wizardry.
He went to the owl's room to deliver the letter, and looked at the owl that gradually disappeared into the night, and a smile appeared on the corner of Aven's mouth, believing that it would not be long before the great Headmaster Professor Dumbledore would know about it from his old friend.
Evan was confident that, with Dumbledore's help, Lady Butterworth would be happy to tell her everything that had happened that day.
