Chapter 428: A New Plan

"I really hope the next party will come soon, Umbridge's Defence Against the Dark Arts class is a waste of time. Hannah said at the end of the meeting. "If only she had taken her class, my Defence Against the Dark Arts class this year. The LS exam will definitely smash the pot.,If it weren't for the fact that this reading club can help make up for the class, maybe I'll get a T.。 ”

This semester's book club is becoming more and more like a fighting club, because Umbridge has basically abandoned the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, so everyone is now gathered together to mainly focus on this knowledge.

"The book club was formed to help each other. Ryan said to a few people who leaned in, "I think we're going to get a good result on the exam." ”

After sending everyone off, Ryan and Hermione were cleaning up the venue. Suddenly, the twins sneakily poked their heads in from outside the door and beckoned at the same time. "Ryan, there's something we'd like to discuss with you. ”

"What's going on?" Ryan muttered as the obstacles turned back into tables, chairs and benches, and then walked down the hallway after explaining to Hermione. "Tell me, what are you two calling me out for at this time, and you have to avoid Hermione specifically. ”

"That's right. Fred shrugged, "I feel like we're already adults and don't have to continue our full-time education." ”

"Originally, we were going to pass the exam and get the certificate according to my mother's wishes, but now we can't stand the oppressive atmosphere anymore. George blinked. "Especially since we already have a store in Diagon Alley, which is just the right time for us to show off what we can do. ”

"So—" Fred continued George's words, "as the largest shareholder in our store, we felt we should consult you on the matter. ”

"On top of that, Percy has told us several times that you've guided him in the direction of his life many times and made him make the right choices in key places. Although we have never been very compatible with Percy, we must admit that he is the best person in the family in some ways. George spread his hands. "So now, after having the same problem, we want to come to you and ask about our lives. ”

"If you really need me to say it, all I can say is that your ideas are a little ill-conceived. Ryan said as he carefully picked his words. "Know that if you do that, your studies will be terminated. ”

"We know. Fred preemptively said.

"No, you don't know. Ryan said, shaking his hand. "You may think it's cool and shows your spirit of defiance. You have to know that Umbridge is not the only professor in the school, have you considered the ideas of other professors, not to mention that your mother supports you to open a shop, and you should fulfill one of your mother's hopes for you. Otherwise, I won't have the face to go to the Burrow in the future. ”

"But the atmosphere now—" said George, somewhat depressed. "We just want to change the school. ”

"Your childish approach can only change yourselves. Ryan revealed the truth without mercy. "I'm sure this castle will change, but not like you. So you should take the exam, get the certificate, and then become a store manager. ”

With that, Ryan raised his arms and put them on the shoulders of the two men. "I know the atmosphere at school is terrible right now, but bear with me. You know you're leaving at the end of the year, and I'm going to be here for a few more years. I believe things will change for the better in the near future, what are you worried about?"

"Of course!" Seeing that the twins agreed with his point in frustration, Ryan decided to say something that would be uplifting. "After the exam, you can have a big one. Just make sure you don't get yourself into Azkaban. ”

After watching the twins leave, Hermione pushed open the door and walked out. "Finally cleaned up, what did you just talk about? It can't be some prank. ”

"Hermione, you should believe I'm not the kind of person who makes trouble. Ryan looked at Hermione with the look you made up and laughed uncontrollably. "Well, at least Umbridge isn't worth it for me to do something, I was trying to dissuade the twins. ”

"I believe in you. Hermione said after staring into Ryan's eyes for a few seconds. "By the way, I see that the book club is doing well now, and it should be ready for the next step. What do you think we're going to do next?"

"We could make a magazine. Ryan had thought about this before. "I find that one of the biggest problems of wizards today is that they don't know anything about the Muggle world, and even Mr. Weasley, who claims to be the most Muggle-like, can't tell the difference between Muggle currencies and some common Muggle knowledge. The first step we should do in this case is literacy, or at least let wizards know what Muggles are really like. ”

You're right, the first step should indeed be understanding. Hermione nodded. "So how do you let them know? By making display boards, taking out physical exhibitions, or taking time out to talk to them. ”

"It's all a bit routine and it's not working well at the same time. Ryan told Hermione about the fact. "According to what I've heard, that's how Muggle studies classes are taught at our school. Then the formation was a group of wizards who could walk to the campsite in a wetsuit and carrying an oxygen tank when they were required to wear Muggle costumes. ”

Hermione covered her mouth and laughed, remembering the wizards who were dressed strangely at last year's Quidditch World Cup. Wait until she finished laughing. "So what do you think we should do?"

"I think we can start a magazine first. Ryan said seriously, this is the experience in the books he has read before. If you want others to accept your point of view, then the first thing you need to do is let your point of view be known to others, which is inseparable from propaganda. Given that there are only a few ways to promote the wizarding world, Ryan naturally thinks of magazines.

"Magazines, like the Transfigurative Studies. Hermione asked curiously, it seemed that the top student was studying even during the break.

"Oh, of course not. That's a little too formal. Ryan shook his head. "We are popular science propaganda, and this kind of highly professional academic journal is not conducive to publicity. In my conception, the book would have a very professional academic content, but it would only be a small part. Most of them are humorous jokes or comics, such as the guy who wore a diving suit and carried an oxygen tank at the Quidditch World Cup, which could easily be used as a comic to highlight how wizards misunderstood Muggles. ”

"Sounds good. Hermione nodded. "As long as the content of the narrative is professional and accurate, it is not important to express these things in a way that is expressed. After all, this is just a popular science book, not a textbook. Of course, I think there will be a lot of people who will buy this magazine. Because people like to watch something interesting, there are too few wizard entertainment items anyway. ”

"yes! On top of that, we can sell books and recoup a sum of money, so that the magazine can stay going. Ryan added. "You know, a magazine like 'Singing Contrarian', which is written entirely on the basis of hobby, can easily be abandoned because of a change in the person who wrote the book, but our book is for publicity, and it must have an independent source of income so that it can sustain itself for a long time. Only then will our magazine reach its final goal of having enough influence for all wizards to understand the truth about Muggles. ”

"What you said makes sense, let's compile the sample journal and distribute it in the reading club, and if the effect is good, let's move on to the next step. Hermione said as the two of them approached the common room. "Let's hope everything goes well. ”
