The man behind Hogwarts

Dumbledore slowly finished explaining the cause and effect, and then turned his attention to William, "They want to publish your article and invite articles to your club by the way. What are your thoughts?"

After William listened to everything quietly, he couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling slightly surprised.

He didn't expect that things in the school would be reported by "Wizard Weekly", and they would actually invite articles?

Although he felt that the articles written by several members of the club were excellent, it did not seem so normal for such a large newspaper to take the initiative to invite articles.

"Principal, can I read their article first?"

Dumbledore nodded and pointed out the article in the newspaper "New Students Arrive" to William.

William read very quickly, reading ten lines at a glance.

After pondering for a while,

He asked in a tentative tone: "Principal, I have a small question. Are our school's affairs allowed to be reported by newspapers like these? I don't think I have seen such an in-depth article reporting on Hogwarts before."

There are not only books in the library, but also newspapers and periodicals.

William often spends time in the library, and the newspapers and periodicals he sees rarely contain articles about the school; even if the article mentions Hogwarts, the main content of the article must be about Dumbledore.

"Of course it is allowed to report. If they were not allowed to report, they would definitely send several letters to criticize me every day."

Dumbledore looked unusually kind.

He continued: "And what you don't know is that some of our students will choose to work in these newspapers after graduation, including the current editor-in-chief of "Wizard Weekly", who also graduated from Hogwarts."

"The reason why you rarely see reports about the school in newspapers is because a long time ago, the Ministry of Magic imposed some restrictions on newspapers. They were not allowed to report on the secret things of the school. At the same time, they were not allowed to report on things that I disagree with. matter."

The implication is that anything can be reported as long as Dumbledore allows it;

If he doesn't allow it, nothing can be reported!

William listened to Dumbledore's ordinary words and showed a look of admiration and reverence in unison:

——The principal is mighty, domineering, wise and mighty!

"The Ministry of Magic actually gives the school such great rights. It seems that they are pretty good." He then said.

Hearing this, Dumbledore smiled even more happily,

Through his glasses, he winked at William jokingly,

"Hmm...little William, it seems that you don't like collecting chocolate frog pictures, and you must not have collected my picture."

William looked confused.

"Do you know that I have another identity?" Dumbledore asked himself. "I am not only your headmaster, I am also the chief magician of the Wizengamot. Do you know the Wizengamot?"

The Wizengamot?

William didn't know this vocabulary originally, but since he came into contact with Crohn, he went out of his way to learn more about the Ministry of Magic.

It was also through the Ministry of Magic's introduction that he learned about the 'Wizengamot' for the first time.

Although the Wizengamot is a department under the Ministry of Magic, it was established earlier than the Ministry of Magic, so the rights of this organization are extremely special.

This department is mainly responsible for legislation and judgment.

legislation……

I see,

William suddenly realized that Dumbledore was the boss of the legislative department of the Ministry of Magic. No wonder the Ministry of Magic would issue such a policy that was extremely biased towards Hogwarts.

This is blatant partiality!

Knowing this relationship, William's scruples disappeared a little.

The school has the support of Dumbledore, and "Wizard Weekly" has the support of the alumni editor-in-chief. With the combined efforts of these two parties, the Gem Club should have no problem submitting articles to them.

"Principal, I agree to the weekly newspaper's invitation to publish my article. I will tell the other three people when I get back, and they should also agree."

Dumbledore nodded.

Looking at the young wizard in front of me, I couldn't help but feel that a new person was replacing an old one.

"Fox is getting old, and so am I. I really want to retire as soon as possible...

But the hidden dangers I left behind have not been completely eliminated. I can't leave such a big danger to the world... Just treat this as the last mission. "

After thinking about it, I took another piece of bear biscuit in my mouth.

He recalled his life experiences. At this age, he had achieved the highest achievement in the magic world. No matter in which aspect, he had realized his original wish.

It's time to rest!

……

……

In the evening, the four members of the Gem Club gathered together.

"You all know, right?" Fran raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Cedric, tsk, tsk, what a pity!"

"What's a pity?" Cedric showed his honest doubts.

"You don't know yet?! Now it's spread all over the school. Wizards Weekly has selected a new batch of freshmen. William and Evelyn are both on it, and there's also a Slytherin and a Grimoire. Llanffindor, it's a pity...it's a pity that there is no Hufflepuff."

There are four quotas for freshmen, and the school has four colleges.

The usual practice is to choose one person from each house, but this year they went against the norm and chose two people from Ravenclaw.

Fran agreed very much with this ending. He even believed that there was no need to choose four people this year. William and Evelin were enough. Others would be asking for trouble if they stood together to compare with them.

"Fortunately, I'm not in the same grade as them, otherwise... it would be too scary!"

Fran teased Cedric a few words and said congratulations to William and Evelin.

Evelin was a little pleased. The only thing she felt was bad was that the picture of her chosen by "Wizard Weekly" was taken secretly, and she was in a rage at the time, so she looked a little less gentle.

Fortunately, William's photos were exquisite, and she was satisfied in a different way.

"Fran, does this article about 'arrival of new students' appear every year? How come I haven't heard of it before?"

"Don't listen to the people in the newspaper. In fact, this is the first time for me this year, and it's the second time for you guys." Fran smiled, "That was the first time the weekly published this theme. People who know about it There aren’t many yet, so many wizards don’t know about it.”

William did not chat with them;

He was holding a book and reading, and had already read the last page.

Reading line by line, although he can finish a page in two or three glances, he usually does not use this fast reading method. He enjoys savoring it carefully.

Finally, a line of words appeared at the bottom of the page:

"The end of this book——"

call,

Taking a breath, he slowly closed the book and quickly recalled the content of the book in his mind.

Because he only read it once, he didn't memorize it completely, but he remembered all the contents that he focused on. Thinking of this, he smiled slightly.

"That's enough. Let's move on to the next one later."
