Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

Even if Elena pointed out the general scope and direction, it was not easy to accurately find the stone tunnel leading to the secret room in Hogwarts' dim and complicated pipe system.

After all, the ghosts' perception of the outside world is still limited to the human category. Traveling between corridor walls and diving deep into the underground of the castle are two completely different experiences. Only a patient ghost professor like Professor Binns can Only then is it possible to take the trouble to carry out this exploratory process of "physical investigation".

The secret chamber built by Slytherin is roughly a few miles deep under the castle. According to Elena's estimation, even in the most optimistic scenario, Professor Binns will need two to three days from exploration to the end.

During this period, she had enough time to think about the next issue's naysayer manuscript, as well as to respond to the questions that Professor Binns might raise, and prepare the corresponding historical truths and logical traps in advance to deal with the best preaching by the old-fashioned pedantic professor. The method is to give him some "after-school homework" that is difficult to refuse.

Since Dumbledore likes to arrange after-school study tasks for her, he himself can no longer sit comfortably in the principal's office, playing with birds, millions of novels, and sleeping. At most, they will hurt each other. Who is afraid of the other?

Let’s not mention Professor Binns’s exploration of the castle and the historical issues that Dumbledore is about to face.

On the other side, the "Magic Era" storm triggered by Elena has just begun.

With Dumbledore and Grindelwald speaking out, a controversy sparked by a new issue of naysayers is spreading rapidly, quickly sweeping across the entire European wizarding world.

London, Diagon Alley, Daily Prophet main office.

The Daily Prophet is not the only publication in the British wizarding world, but it is definitely the most subscribed.Most wizards will use it to get the latest news. In a sense, this newspaper can be regarded as a weather vane of public opinion in the magical world.

However, due to the low population ratio in the magic world and the convenience of magic industrialization.

Even though it is one of the largest newspapers in the magical world, the actual size of the company and the number of employees of the Daily Prophet are as small as a school magazine founded by a university compared to its non-magical counterparts.

Excluding those contracted columnists and reporters who contribute articles and provide breaking news from time to time, the actual number of employees of the Daily Prophet is actually no more than 30 people in total. This still includes the editor-in-chief Barnabas Guffey, and Betty Braithwaite and Rita Skeeter are the two special correspondents on the case.

Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the entire magazine, almost everyone will participate in the daily information collection and organization process.As the editor-in-chief, one of Barnabas Guffey's jobs is to read the contents of other "third-rate newspapers and periodicals" every day and discover news that can be reported and published at any time.

"Hogwarts Calendar, Magical Era, Rewriting the History of Magic"

Barnabas Guffey slammed the gaudy magazine in his hand on his desk and looked around at the silent employees with a particularly ugly expression on his face.

"Why haven't we received any news about such a major matter before?"

"But, Mr. Guffey"

Looking at the furious Barnabas Gufei, a middle-aged wizard swallowed and spoke cautiously.

"Just this morning, weren't you still using the example in the Quibbler to warn us not to imitate the sensationalism of third-rate tabloids? Besides, this shouldn't be important, right?"

"It doesn't matter. Mr. Wigswader, are you blind?"

Barnabas Guffey sneered like a mouse whose tail was stepped on. As he spoke, he shook a few pieces of paper in his hand and roared angrily.

"Look at the letters from Bathilda Bagshot, the author of History of Magic, the letters from Miranda Gorshak, the author of Standard Spells, and most importantly these two letters from Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the Minister of Magic. Cornelius Fudge's Letters"

The content of the letter is very simple. It is all support and interpretation of the articles published in the latest issue of The Quibbler. Although the angle is slightly different, considering the time when the letter arrived, it is obvious that this is not the same as the Daily Prophet. Major events known to us.

If the Daily Prophet could refuse the first two authors, then when it came to the joint statement by Fudge and Dumbledore, the Daily Prophet had almost no room to refuse.

"It's so funny. I never thought that one day the Daily Prophet would publish reviews specifically to promote other magazines. And it would be a third-rate tabloid full of nonsense."

After a slight pause, Barnabas Guffey sat back heavily on his chair like a deflated balloon, shook his head, and let out a feeble sigh.

"Oddpeak, sort out the contents of these letters and publish them in three issues. The comments of Minister Fudge and Principal Dumbledore will be placed directly on the front page of tonight's Evening Prophet."

I have to say, personal emotions aside, from the perspective of an ordinary reader, those articles published on The Quibbler about "Hogwarts Calendar" and "Magical Era" are really beautiful. The feelings of Hogwarts, the alma mater, the conspiracy theories of the Ministry of Magic, the anxiety of social decline, and the reappearance of past glory

Once the authenticity and reliability of these articles are confirmed by official and authoritative sources, Barnabas Cuffey can bet his wand that the entire wizarding world will be gripped by the opinions contained in them.

To recreate the wizarding chronological method and the relationship between the Magical Era and the Muggle Era, whether it is a pure-blood wizarding family or a growing number of mixed-race and Muggle wizards over the years, they will actively participate in the discussion on this topic.

As a senior editor, the moment of emotional venting just now was enough. Although he was a little dissatisfied with the unexpected appearance of the naysayer, coupled with the "force" of a series of letters he received unexpectedly, it made his mentality slightly exploded.

But Barnabas Gufei knows very well what the focus of public opinion in the magical world will be in the next period of time. As the current helmsman of the Daily Prophet, all he needs to do is to regain this advantage as much as possible.

The middle-aged wizard raised his head, knocked on the wooden table thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice.

"Wiggleswader, contact Rita Skeeter for me. Isn't she known to be the best at digging up those difficult-to-find wizard news? Tell her to do everything possible to find Theresa Apokalis and be sure to hurry up. Get the next exclusive license before playing devil’s advocate.”

As for the magazine The Quibbler, Barnabas Gufei never paid attention to it from beginning to end. He knew very well that this weird magazine, which could not even pay its contributors, could not really threaten it. The Daily Prophet's status is, at best, just a boost in sales.

As long as he finds the mysterious "Theresa Apokalis", everything will return to the process he is familiar with.

Compared to the Daily Prophet, which is more famous and well-capitalized, that poor third-rate small magazine has no way to offer anything more to attract writers to stay. This is why the Daily Prophet has remained standing for a long time. The most important reason is that the Daily Prophet can give you what others cannot give you; and what the Daily Prophet can give you more than what others can give you.

Meanwhile, the Lovegoods.

Reserve Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and squatted quietly on the wooden table to observe the reactions of the two people in the room.

Elena's little master's reply has been sent to the owner of the house. As the Lovegoods and their daughters read the contents of the letter, the whole room fell into a strange silence, as if someone had cast a spell. Silent magic is the same.

cuckoo

The reserve barked impatiently twice and scratched the table with his little paws, breaking the tranquility on his own initiative.

"so"

Luna Lovegood blinked, slowly put down the letter in her hand, raised her head and looked at her silent father and spoke softly.

"Ak, I mean, if Ms. Theresa's request is to take you back, do I also want to go to Hogwarts with you?"

"I go."
