Chapter 429: Conflict (Ask for Subscriptions, Ask for Collections, Ask for Tickets)

Over the next few days, Ryan and Hermione told everyone in the book club about the plan. Everyone was very interested in this and helped a lot with the creation of the sample magazine.

Luna, for example, volunteered to draw four-panel comics, and Celia shared many jokes about the relationship between her wizarding mother and her Muggle father.

On the serious part, pure-blood wizards like Neville and Hannah ask a lot of questions about Muggles from a wizarding perspective. And Ryan selected representative ones from them to answer.

"We disagree with that. The twins whispered to Ryan in the common room. "How can you say that the food in the Muggle world is as diverse as in the wizarding world? we used to go out from Diagon Alley to the streets of Muggles, and the food there was incredibly monotonous. After Ryan consulted with a short essay on diet, the twins offered a different opinion.

"Oh, I'm not meticulous here. Ryan added a qualifier to the text, and the food in most Muggle countries except the United Kingdom was as diverse as the wizarding world.

"You know, Britain is just one example. Ryan said to the twins as he revised the manuscript. "In the outside world, the Industrial Revolution completely destroyed the traditional British diet. It's made modern British food quick and easy yet monotonous, but the wizarding world has retained its traditional hearty British cuisine—"

Ryan finally watched the twins leave with an unclear expression, it seems that both the Industrial Revolution and the British tradition have made wizards find it a little difficult to understand, which shows that popularizing Muggle knowledge is still a long way to go.

Finally, after a busy week, the magazine called Look, This is Muggle was published. The Weasley Joke Store has made this another of its specialties.

Probably because the magazine itself is not a very serious magazine, it accidentally sold well in the joke store and aroused the interest of a large number of wizards. While the vast majority of them were just looking at it as an entertainment magazine, it was more than Ryan and Hermione had expected.

"Your book is really interesting. This was what the Weasley twins said to Ryan one afternoon over tea, when Ryan and Hermione were sharing one of their favorite Wizarding World snacks: the Chocolate Frog.

"Our mother thought the exotic Muggle food section in the magazine was great, like the one in this issue——。 He pondered for a moment, but suddenly he couldn't remember what the word was.

"Zuo Zongtang chicken with sweet and sour tenderloin. George adds, "Mom thinks these two dishes taste great, and she's trying to make them better with magic." ”

"Your mother is really amazing, if she invents a more convenient way to cook magic, please be sure to share it in a magazine. ”

"I think our mother will be very happy. The twins looked at each other and smiled. She is happy to share her experience in housework. ”

After dinner, Ryan and Hermione continued to go to the library together to review their textbooks. As they were about to step up the stairs, Harry and Ginny were seen hugging each other in the foyer.

"What's wrong with them?" Ryan looked at the two men curiously. "How does it feel like Harry is going to the gallows. ”

"You're right. Hermione shrugged her shoulders. "Harry is now going to Snape to learn Occlumency, and for Harry it is no different from being inspected by an enemy to see the secrets in his brain than to be executed. ”

Harry would have been 100% in approval if he had heard Hermione say at this time, and he felt from the bottom of his heart that going to Snape was no different from going to the execution ground, especially when Snape looked at the memories of him and Ginny kissing.

But to make matters worse, recent events and his busy schoolwork had left him with no time to practice Occlumency, and he knew that Snape would be able to see his mind more easily if he were in such a mood when he got there, but he couldn't control his thoughts. That's why he looked so frustrated: even though he had tried his best to empty his brain now, it was still a mess when he walked to the door of Snape's office.

"You're late, Potter. Snape said coldly as Harry closed the door behind him. "Do you need to be reminded that you're late? Of course, Mr. Savior, who is busy, may have a lot to do. ”

"No, I don't. Harry said hatefully, but just before he could say something more, Snape began his attack. The two sides had not exchanged a few rounds before Harry, who had not practiced much before, sat down weakly on the ground.

"Look, what do I see. Snape, looking down at Harry, scoffed. "In addition to the usual love and homework, this time there are more memories of you barely escaping with your friends. I'm curious by virtue of a even standard. There are so many LS potions that can't be mixed up with brains, what the hell can't be done?" Snape said in a long, slow voice.

"You shouldn't look at those, it's my privacy. Harry roared with his hands on the ground.

"You think I want to focus on that?" said Snape, who approached Harry. "I have so many things to do that I don't care about what you're thinking as a childish kid. But the problem is that if you don't close your brain, mystery people will see that too. You will definitely not be the only one who will suffer. ”

"As we all know, as a powerful, playful dark wizard, the Mystic can easily use your memories as a weapon against you and everyone you value. If he wants to, he can even invade you in a second. Snape's voice was cold, and every word he said was hammered into Harry's heart.

Seeing that Harry was just staring at him with his lips pursed, Snape was further irritated, "You're like your father, conceited, stupid, never getting to the point when you do things. ”

"You are not allowed to speak of my father like that. Harry, who had been sitting on the ground from a dizziness, suddenly gained strength when he heard Snape say this, and suddenly stood up suddenly.

"Then prove yourself, control your heart, and don't let your mental defenses be like a sieve that people can infiltrate casually. With that, Snape used the Dementor again, and then looked at Harry on the ground again, "What a fragile soul, just like your father, with a disgusting soul hidden under his shiny exterior. ”

"Don't—so—about my father. Just as Snape stepped forward to prepare for the next Dementor, Harry was angry and used the Dementor Psychic first.

Probably at this time Snape recalled the bad memories of his youth and made his brain's defenses no longer as invulnerable as usual, Harry succeeded in this attack, and happened to see his own father and Snape when he was younger.

The image of how Harry's father and his gang bullied Snape at school was presented to Harry, who had never been aware that he had not offended Snape and had always been hated by him, but now he knew why. Especially when he saw that his mother, Lily Evans, actually had a very good relationship with Snape, even more than ordinary friendship.

Harry saw his mother accuse him of bullying in front of his father several times, and even pulled out his wand at him. It wasn't until after a school violence that Snape, who was unscrupulous, cursed the word mudblood for some reason.

He had to admit that his father was no different from Malfoy at that time. Just as he saw his father step forward to peel off Snape's underwear, which had been hung upside down, a hand grabbed his neck like a vice.

It was clear that physical problems affected the human mind, and Harry instantly withdrew from Snape's memory.

"Do you think your father is honorable, huh?" Snape grabbed Harry by the collar and pulled him over, but after staring Harry in the eye for a moment, Snape jerked his hand away, causing Harry to stumble and almost fall to the ground again.

"Alright, get out of here!" Harry said with a new sadness in Snape's tone. "Your class is over, and I don't want to see you in this office again!"

"I ......" Harry tried to say something, but with a wave of his wand Snape sent Harry flying out of the office, the door slamming shut.
