Looking at the kind reminder from his sister in the audience, Arthur shook his head silently, and then re-clipped the yellow paper in his diary.

What exactly the croissant black fish is, Arthur doesn't know. But he knew that 50,000 gold galleons was a huge foreign debt that he could not afford.

He now has more than 20 million gold galleons in foreign debt, which weighs on his chest like a mountain.

If he can't pay it off as soon as possible, he will always feel that his qi and blood are not smooth, and he will feel uncomfortable. If he owes another 50,000, when will he be able to pay it off?

"Let's go to the library first, and if not, I'll have to ask Professor Snape..."

After lunch, the students have returned to the common room one after another. After a few words with the beautiful prefect Marfa, Arthur returned to his dormitory.

In the afternoon, after a Sprout herb class with the first-year Ravenclaw students, the Slytherin students headed straight to the green playground.

When they passed, the serious-looking Lady Hooch was already there waiting for them.

With her grandmother's short gray hair, she stood in front of two rows of broomsticks, looked at the arriving Slytherin first-year, and nodded slightly.

"There's five minutes left in class, so you're free to do it first. Remember not to touch the broomstick on the ground. ”

Professor Hooch looked in the direction of the castle, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and said to the Slytherin students.

"Yes! Mrs. Hooch! ”

Seeing that the most mischievous Goyle and Crabbe both nodded, Professor Hooch walked towards the castle with peace of mind.

When class was about to start, the Gryffindor students were still not on the playground, which made Professor Hooch very puzzled, so he decided to go to the castle to have a look.

Professor Hooch's departure instantly caused the neat Slytherin team to disperse and fight.

After a few words with her best friend, Pansy came to Arthur's side and pointed to the broomstick that Goyle and Crabbe had taken in their hands.

"Arthur, have you ever ridden a broomstick before?"

"Nope." Arthur shook his head.

"I've ridden it a few times before, so I'll teach you."

"Forget it, Professor Huo Qi is not here, and it is easy to be in danger."

Despite the anticipation in Pansy's eyes, Arthur refused.

"Oh, okay then."

When Pansy heard this, her expression became lost, and she said with a little regret.

"By the way, I've read all of your novels three times. Can you tell me if there is a follow-up? ”

Draco, who was bragging to Goyle and Crabbe about his previous experience riding a broomstick, heard Pansy and Arthur's conversation, and instantly threw the broomstick in his hand to the ground and ran to the two of them, ready to hear Arthur's reply.

He knew that Arthur's novel was the product of prophecy, and if Arthur published a second part, he would have to have first-hand information.

"Part 2, I haven't had this idea lately."

"yes... It's a shame not to see your new book. Draco looked very disappointed.

"Ah, you're everywhere!"

Pansy saw Draco suddenly interject and said angrily.

This Draco, who has been getting more and more annoying lately, just go to Arthur himself. He's there every time.

Seeing Pansy's resentful eyes, Draco snorted. Turn your head in the direction of Arthur.

He figured that Pansy must know something, or he wouldn't have been able to change his attitude towards Arthur suddenly.

'Damn, there's another competitor besides Harry!' ’

"I don't plan to write the second part recently. I've already published two novels in the Muggle world, though. In a week's time, the Blotted Bookstore will be stocking up with my novels. If you want to see it this way, you can go to the Blotted Bookstore in advance to make a reservation. ”

Arthur didn't pay much attention to what was going on in Draco and Pansy's hearts. He felt that both of them liked their novels, so they had to promote them in advance.

"That's great! Then when the flying lesson is over, I'll write to the Blotted bookstore! ”

When Pansy heard Arthur's words, she directly blocked the word Muggle and said happily.

"Is it a novel about school?"

Although Arthur made it clear that there would be no second part of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Draco still hoped in his heart that Arthur's new novel would be related to Hogwarts.

"No, one is a novel about a vampire and a human in love, and the other is a battle novel about a little wizard fighting for the Holy Grail."

Seeing that several more book fans were coming, Arthur raised his voice and explained.

The more people who buy books, the more money they make.

No author is disgusted with having one more book lover.

When everyone heard what kind of genre Arthur's new book was, they asked me about the specific content of the new book.

Seeing their enthusiasm, Arthur opened his mouth to tell the highlights of the two novels, thus strengthening their desire to buy them.

"Mrs. Hodge is here with a Gryffindor fool!"

When the little wizards were still silent in the wonderful plot of Arthur's new book, Professor Hooch walked towards the playground with a cold face and the Gryffindor little wizards.

Arthur looked back and found that the overall momentum of these Gryffindor wizards was very low. Harry, Neville, and Ron, in particular, almost tripped over each other as they walked with their heads down.

And Hermione in the team did not have the confident look she used to have, and she was extremely disappointed.

"They had a Defence Against the Dark Arts class last time, right? Could it be that Headmaster Dumbledore released the Wailing Siren? ”

Since Lockhart was killed by Arthur in the Forbidden Forest, the Defence Against the Dark Arts class for Hogwarts students has been substituted by Headmaster Dumbledore for half a month.

Arthur's first-year students were previously taught by Lockhart, and every day in addition to studying the knowledge in the textbook, he was thinking about how to escape the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Everyone did this to avoid the strange and magical creatures that Lockhart had unleashed.

But after Headmaster Dumbledore substituted for the class, he basically did not stand on the podium to talk about the knowledge in the textbook, but would bring a dark creature every time to teach everyone how to deal with this creature in the future.

That's why I saw the Gryffindor students so listless and depressed. Arthur guessed that Headmaster Dumbledore had most likely brought the Wailing Siren into class.

The Wailing Siren, a magical creature that loves to sing. Anyone who hears their singing will instantly stimulate the negative energy in their hearts. After listening for a long time, people will experience depression and more serious will choose to commit suicide.

"Today it seems like the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, giving them a lesson. Tut-tut, it looks like they've suffered a lot in front of the new professor. ”

Draco, who could write an essay "My father was a member of the school board", gloated at Harry's dejected appearance.

'New professor... What unlucky guy is so brave? ’

When Arthur heard this, he sighed in his heart.

He was a professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but he was cursed by Lord Voldemort.

No wizard can serve more than a year as a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
