What a surprise! Charlie was indeed surprised when he came out to see Shen Long, and then sat down and chatted with him about the creation of the book, wanting to find out whether the book was written by him.

And Shen Long had already been prepared, combining "The Lion King", "The Jungle Book" and "Hamlet" together, and Charlie nodded again and again, believing that this book was indeed from Shen Long's hand.

"I'll be submitting it to the editor for review soon, and I'll try to let you know within a week, can you leave a contact information?" Oh, by the way, you're not an adult, and you'll need your parents to sign a contract. ”

"Can you write me a note? I'll take it back to show my mother, and I'll be here on time with my mother this time next week. "It's even more convincing to Erin Prince with this stuff.

"Of course, of course." Charlie didn't ask his father, but in the UK, there have been more and more cases of single mothers with children over the years.

After putting away the note and the original manuscript, Shen Long politely said goodbye and left, Mary had just copied several copies of the original manuscript, which was enough for Penguin Press.

At lunch, Tobias Snape still didn't come back, and Shen Long took the opportunity to give the note and the manuscript of The Lion King to Erin Prince, and told her that Penguin Press was very optimistic about the book, and as long as the book could be published, their lives would not be a problem in the future.

Erin Prince was very surprised, she found that her child had grown up all of a sudden, could already distinguish right from wrong, and even had the ability to support the family, but she was still a little hesitant about the divorce, "Seaver, your father just collapsed because of bankruptcy, and when the family's economic conditions improve, maybe he will become the same person again." ”

"I'm sorry, I don't believe that at all." Shen Long shrugged, "It's been almost eight years since he went bankrupt, and if he can bounce back together, I'm afraid we won't have to live here for a long time!" ”

"It seems to me that if he had known that we had reaped a large amount of royalties, he would have snatched the drink!" Hey, as a witch, she has been abused by her husband for a long time, this is too miserable, right? You still have hope for him, maybe your brain has been broken, right?

"Erin, I'm going to be eleven soon, and I'm going to study at Hogwarts soon, don't you want me to have no money for books and robes?" Dropping this sentence, Shen Long put down the dishes and went out, Erin Prince needed a quiet space to digest this information, and Shen Long was also going to Lily and Penny's date.

When they arrived at the old place, Lily and Penny had already arrived, and they also brought drinks and candy and biscuits, and when they saw Shen Long who had cleaned up, their good impression of Shen Long increased a lot.

"I guess you know a little bit about my family, my mother was a witch, and my father was a Muggle, oh, that's what the wizarding world calls for those who have no magical talent; My mother told me a lot about the wizarding world, and that's something that a kid like you from an ordinary family lacks. ”

"So, I'll tell you this common sense first!" Shen Long picked up on yesterday's topic, Lily asked questions from time to time, and Penny was more concerned about when he taught him those magical skills.

Shen Long put Penny to the test, unfortunately she also lacked talent in becoming a shapeshifter, so she had to teach her martial arts, Shen Long showed some light skills, and then began to teach her the basics, and solemnly warned Penny that these things must not be told to others.

Penny rushed to the side to practice, Shen Long and Lily had their own private space, the two of them lay side by side on the lawn, Shen Long talked about all kinds of interesting things about Hogwarts, and Lily's face was full of yearning.

When he returned home at night, this time Tobias Snape finally came back, with a strong smell of alcohol, and as soon as he entered the door, he was about to clean up Shen Long and Erin Prince, Shen Long would not get used to him, and directly hit his sleeping hole with a flick of his fingers, and this guy immediately fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Seeing this scene, Erin Prince's face was full of helplessness, and she began to seriously consider the issue of divorce more and more, growing up in such an environment, her little Seaver would definitely not be happy.

When Tobias awoke from his sleep, he forgot about yesterday and went to look for wine again; This was the case for the next few days, until it was the time agreed between Shen Long and Penguin Press.

Shen Long took Erin into the publishing house, and Charlie told him that "The Lion King" had successfully passed the final review and could sign a publishing agreement with him, according to the agreement, Shen Long could get eight percent of the royalty, as a newcomer who had not yet been tested by the market, this condition was already very good.

Charlie also promised to pay them a royalty in advance to improve their lives, and he could see that the life of the mother and son in front of them was very embarrassing.

Shen Long was not in a hurry to sign the contract, but politely said that he would first find a lawyer to discuss, and Charlie expressed his understanding; Coming out of the publishing house and witnessing Shen Long's earning ability, Erin Prince finally made up her mind to divorce.

With the help of her lawyer, Erin quickly got her divorce done, left Spider Alley with Shen Long, and used the advance royalties she received from Penguin to rent a home that was preferred by a middle-class London family, just like the Dursleys had lived in the beginning.

Without domestic violence, Erin gradually became more cheerful, and told Shen Long about the magic world every day, many of which were not written in the original book, which made Shen Long feel that he benefited a lot.

After a while, "The Lion King" finally came out, and this future work that won the love of countless children did not live up to Shen Long's expectations in this era, bringing him quite a lot of money, and not long after it came out, Penguin Press needed to consider the problem of reprinting.

Charlie even came to the door and asked Shen Long if he had any plans to write a second part, and Shen Long told him that the second part was already in his head, anyway, there were originally three parts of "The Lion King", which was enough for him to copy for a while.

In the blink of an eye, the year 1971 was 1971, Snape was eleven years old, and this year it was time for him to enter Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Before receiving the admission letter from the owl, Shen Long proposed to Erin Prince that he wanted to prepare for the school in advance, and asked Erin to take him to Diagon Alley to have a look.

Erin readily agreed, she took Shen Long to the bank to withdraw some pounds, and then went to the Leaky Cauldron on Charling Cross Road in Westminster, knocked on the brick on the wall, and a magical world appeared in front of Shen Long.
