Admiral of Hogwarts

!

About a week after returning to London, one fine morning, Hugo and Hermione received a yellow parchment envelope at the breakfast table, with Hugo's and their names written on it in green ink. In addition, there is a fire seal with the Hogwarts school crest.

After seeing the contents on the envelope of the letter, Hugo and Hermione hurriedly finished their breakfast in three or two bites. After saying a hurried hello to his parents, he ran to the study room with the letter in his hand, then used a knife to pick apart the fire seal and opened the envelope of the letter.

This letter is not much different from the letters sent to students by Hogwarts in previous years, but this year's list of books to be purchased is obviously half thicker than last year. Hugo's first glance at the list was still... I thought Hogwarts would require several years of books to be purchased at once.

But after carefully looking at the contents on the list, Hugo found that most of the professors' new books were the same as in previous years, and there was not much difference. The only one that should be Lockhart who went to Hogwarts this year to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts He opened a large list of his own books, and the books he listed were more than the textbooks required by other professors combined.

"It seems that the peacock came to the school as a professor as a good opportunity to sell books. After all, textbooks must be bought." Hugo thought to himself while looking at the books on the book list. "As a graduate of Ravenclaw, Lockhart shouldn't be stupid, but now he is completely dazzled by fame and fortune."

There are many reasons why humans make stupid decisions, and the most common one is that they only focus on a certain benefit, and as a result forget or actively ignore various dangers. For example, the curse on the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts was not a secret, but apparently Lockhart didn't take it seriously.

But then again, the benefits here are indeed great enough. The price of books in the Western world itself is very expensive, and books in the British wizarding world are more expensive than books outside. Lockhart would indeed make a fortune by asking all students in the seventh grade to buy a set of his books.

"Damn it, why are they all books by this liar? Is this year's teacher a fan of that liar's books?" Because she happened to meet Lockhart's victim during her summer vacation in the United States, Hermione, who knew some of the truth, Naturally, he has a very bad impression of him. So when he saw the book list, he cursed in a low voice, and even used the word "liar" to refer to Lockhart.

"Actually, these books are good. After all, Lockhart was very detailed when asking about those stories. So the things recorded in the books should also be true." Hugo shrugged. "But if I remember correctly, the price of such a set of books is not cheap."

"It's not like we don't have money - are you worried about other people?" After hearing Hugo's words, Hermione quickly realized what her twin brother wanted to say. After all, the students at Hogwarts can Not everyone has money, and it is no small matter for their family to pay such a lump sum.

"Yes, so Fireflies and the others have thought of a way to deal with this situation, but they need your help -" Hugo then told Hermione about his plan, which was actually the plan he had worked with before. The ship girls discussed this based on the current situation.

Soon, Hugo and Hermione arrived at Hood's shop, and then started discussing Lockhart's books. According to their thinking, although Lockhart requires everyone to buy his complete set of books, it is obviously impossible to teach people in different grades and classes at the same time. Therefore these textbooks are not used all the time.

Therefore, Hugo, who had seen a lot of various sharing economies in his previous life, naturally considered developing the sharing economy at this time, turning these so-called textbooks, which are very likely to last only one year like the original article, into shared goods, and minimizing the number of By the way, everyone's financial burden will refresh everyone's favor.

After all, if you want to get destiny points, you need to change the original plot as much as possible. Let's not talk about how many destiny points can be obtained by this change that has never been mentioned in the original novel. Just the fact that he gained prestige after establishing a good relationship with some students, which would help everyone tend to his own point of view, was enough for Hugo to take action in this regard.

After everyone briefly discussed it, they also found that it was not easy to achieve this goal. Therefore, all Hogwarts students and their parents present are asked to contact as many classmates and parents as possible and ask them for their opinions on the inclusion of this complete set of novels in textbooks.

The real core task is carried out by Firefly. As a warm-hearted and helpful image among the Gryffindor junior students last year, she will be the apparent initiator of this operation. Responsible for writing a petition to Headmaster Dumbledore and submitting it.

In addition, due to the reputation of running a store in Diagon Alley, they will also find ways to contact the Daily Prophet and invest in advertising to ask the Daily Prophet to publish some articles in order to build momentum in society.

In just three days, a large number of letters were delivered by owl or postman to the backyard of Hood's store. Obviously, both students and parents find it difficult to understand the inclusion of these novels in textbooks. After all, professors at Hogwarts have formed a set of rules for selecting textbooks over the years, and these novels obviously do not conform to this rule.

Not to mention that the price of this set of novels is extremely expensive, which is a considerable expenditure for most working-class families. Therefore, it can be seen from the replies that many parents are obviously dissatisfied with this year's teaching materials. So now when someone is willing to start thinking of a solution to this matter, they are naturally willing to write a letter to express their support.

Unlike ordinary people's society, wizards in the magical world are more impulsive when doing things. For example, in the original text, after a big accident occurred at the Quidditch World Cup, a group of adults sent shouting letters to the Ministry of Magic and even the Minister of Magic to criticize their incompetence, so Hood soon received hundreds of letters complaining about the textbooks.

So at noon on the third day, Hugo and Hermione had just finished another fighting practice at Hood's side and were enjoying afternoon tea when there was a knock on the door. Soon, Hood, who went to open the door, came in with an old man. When they saw the old man for the first time, Hugo and the others who were enjoying afternoon tea in the living room immediately stood up.

"Good afternoon, Principal Dumbledore." Everyone stood up to greet the principal, with surprised expressions on their faces. Although they had thought that someone from the school or the Ministry of Magic would come forward to negotiate after they had created such a huge momentum, they did not expect that it would be Dumbledore.

"Good afternoon, children." Professor Dumbledore said with a relaxed look, "Okay, everyone, sit down, there is no need to stand here. Are you having afternoon tea? I don't think you should. I would object to me, an old man, having afternoon tea with you."
