The Magic Book of Know-It-All was bombarded in major newspapers, filling people's appetites, and the first batch of 500 copies sold out in less than half a day. The customers who didn't rush to buy almost pushed the door of the Blotted bookstore, and the anxious customers even doubled the price on the spot. It wasn't until the person in charge of the bookstore personally went out to ensure that another batch of 500 copies would be sold in three days, that the crowd slowly dispersed.

Outside the crowd, Charon and Hermione watched happily, they came over to watch the launch ceremony of the Magic Book of Know-it-all, and the enthusiasm of the crowd made Charon smile from ear to ear, this is all real money flowing in!

Hermione saw Charon's smug appearance and kicked him angrily: "You shameless guy, you have such a bad idea of "hunger sales", believe it or not, I shouted, and hundreds of wizards will beat you up in no time!" ”

Charon hurriedly smiled and begged for mercy. Indeed, Charon's idea of an intensively advertised but limited edition sale was the brainchild of Charon, a sales strategy called "Hunger Sales", which he had learned from the Muggle world. Muggles have been tricked by merchants countless times, and they still enjoy it.

The wizarding world appeared for the first time, and the natural effect was extremely significant, and for a while, everyone had only one topic - "Know-it-all magic book", and when they met, they asked "Did you grab it?" "Is that fun?" , The people who snapped up the purchase naturally felt that they had a lot of face, and they took it out with great interest, and those who didn't buy it were also envious, and they made up their minds to grab one as soon as possible!

Charon saw the sales boom and went back to school satisfied, and all he had to do was go to Gringotts Elven Bank regularly to see how high the gold gallons were in his private vault.

Of course, the rise of the Jack-of-all-trades has also caused problems for stern teachers like Professor Snape. At first, he was surprised to find that several of the Gryffindor scumbags had somehow opened up and answered the questions he asked in class word for word.

Professor Snape was not so foolish, and he was keenly aware that the scumbags were always quick to write in a journal before answering questions. In this way, when Ron was careless, he was caught by Snape and stolen himself. The magic diary was confiscated on the spot, and Gryffindor was deducted ten points. From then on, the academy issued a ban on bringing the magic tome into the classroom. The scumbag little wizards wailed, and the days became sad again.

Of course, even this did not stop the popularity of the magic book in the magic academy, although this thing is a little more expensive, but compared to his huge knowledge content, the convenient and flexible way to consult it, it is not so expensive.

Whether it is a scumbag or a scholar, they have found the benefits of this thing, and the scumbag can use it to surprise before the exam, and the knowledge points of the exam can be summarized clearly, and it will get twice the result with half the effort to memorize. Xueba can avoid the trouble of searching for knowledge in the vast volumes of the library, and it will come out as soon as you search a little, which is not a little convenient.

In society, people from all walks of life have discovered the benefits of this thing. Housewives use it to search for the latest food preparation methods, the latest magic dress styles; Civil servants use it to find examples of official documents, and use it to extract large sections of gourd paintings; Travelers use it to find strange plants encountered during their travels, and solutions to various inexplicable problems...... Even the Aurors each held a customized "Encyclopedia of Dangerous Elements to be Arrested", and when they encountered suspicious people, they took them out and compared them, which really helped them catch several fugitives.

The Magic Book was all the rage, and the Ministry of Magic had to decide to award Charon and Harry the third class of the Order of Merlin to the two inventors, in view of the huge impact it had on society (of course, it also included the PR achievements of the Blotts).

Even though it was only a third-class medal, it was a great honor for young wizards like Charon and Harry. Although Charon didn't care, Harry was ashamed of it, the rest of the academy was thrilled. Ron was so envious that he now regretted going to Egypt with his family during the summer vacation, and if he had joined Charon's R&D team, he might have been able to get a third-class medal.

Charon and Harry returned with a third-class medal in a glamorous manner, and the thing was immediately worshipped by everyone. Percy's eyes were green, and if he could get such a medal, he could even give up the great position of prefect.

Joy ensued, and Headmaster Dumbledore announced that Gryffindor and Slytherin had added 50 points each, given that Charon and Harry's feats had tarnished the House's honor! When the news came, the whole academy burst into laughter, only Malfoy was so angry that he couldn't eat for several days.

This school year has a new atmosphere and a new curriculum.

The first new course was divination. Classes are held in the North Tower. It is a long way from the castle to the north tower. Although they had been at Hogwarts for two years, they were still not familiar with the castle, and they had never been inside the North Tower before. The four of them stumbled, but under the guidance of a ghost, they found the classroom.

They climbed the last few stairs to a small platform, where most of the class was located. There are no doors on the stair landing; Ron nudged Harry and pointed to the ceiling, where there was a round trapdoor with a bronze plaque on it.

"Sybil Trelawney, divination teacher." Charon reads. "How can we go up?" As if to answer his question, the trapdoor suddenly opened, and a silver ladder was placed at Harry's feet.

Everyone fell silent.

"You go first." Ron said, grinning, and Charon was the first to go up.

He arrives in one of the most eccentric classrooms he has ever seen. In fact, it's not a classroom at all, it's more like a mixture of an attic and an old-fashioned teahouse. There are at least twenty small round tables crammed into this classroom. Each table is surrounded by Indian calico armchairs and bulging small cushions. Everything was illuminated by a dim scarlet light; The curtains were drawn, and many of the lamps were draped in crimson shades. The classroom was depressingly warm, the fireplace was stuffed to the brim, and a large copper kettle was burning on the fire, so that the flame gave off a dull, greasy fragrance. The circular walls are surrounded by shelves filled with dusty feathers, candle heads, worn playing cards, countless silver crystal balls, and a large pile of tea sets.

Ron followed, and the class stood around them, whispering.

"Where is she?" Ron said.

Suddenly, a voice came from the shadows, that soft, indistinct voice.

"Welcome," the voice said, "it's good to see you in the tangible world at last." ”

Harry's first impression was of a large, glowing insect. Professor Trelawney went into the firelight, and they saw that she was very thin; Her eyes were magnified several times by her large glasses, she wore a shimmering shawl like a light sheer gauze, countless necklaces and beads hung from her slender neck, and bracelets and rings on both arms and hands.

"Sit, my child, sit." So they all clumsily climbed onto the armchairs or sunk into bulging cushions, she said. Charon, Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat at the same round table.

"Welcome to the divination class," said Professor Trelawney, sitting in a winged armchair in front of the fireplace, "I am Professor Trelawney, and you may not have seen me before." I found that my days were blurred by the hustle and bustle of school life too often. ”

No one said anything about such an unusual declaration. Professor Trelawney meticulously rearranged the shawl and continued, "You have chosen the divination class, which is the most difficult of all magical arts. I must warn you at the outset: if you do not have the 'Vision', then there is very little I can teach you, and books can only take you so far in this regard......"

After hearing this, Harry, Hermione, and Ron all felt a little amazing. Charon also sat there with a smile, and this chattering opening was the usual technique of the physiognomy. The so-called hexagram calculation of three points and seven points of guessing relies on eyesight and these tricks.

"Many witches and wizards, for all their genius at making violent crashing sounds, scents, and sudden invisibility, are unable to see through the fog." Professor Trelawney continued, her large, glowing eyes turning from face to face.

"It's a talent that only a few people have. You, boy," she said to Neville suddenly, who nearly fell off his cushion, "How is your grandmother?" ”

"I think it's good." Neville said with a shudder.

"If I were you, I'd not be so sure, dear." Professor Trelawney said the firelight flickered on her long emerald earrings.

Neville gasped as he set his eyes on Charon. Charon shrugged his shoulders and whispered, "Don't worry, your grandmother may outlive you!" ”

Professor Trelawney calmly continued: "This year we are learning all kinds of basic divination methods. The first semester was spent on interpreting the leaves. Next semester we should learn palmistry. By the way, my dear," she said suddenly to Parvatipatil, "beware of red-haired men. ”。

Parvati gave a frightened look at Ron, who was sitting right behind her. Parvati moved her chair away from Ron.

"In the summer term," Professor Trelawney continued, "we will learn to look at crystal balls, if we have learned about flame omens. Unfortunately, in February, a vicious flu would force classes to close. I would have lost my voice myself. Around Easter, one of us will leave you forever. ”
