After the competition ended, it would take a full month to wait until the next one. Lockhart came to the hut again and begged Anton to write another manuscript. He planned to publish it as a major announcement at some point when the heat subsided.
Raise the discussion.
The most critical reason why he can be so confident is that all the members of the hut are shareholders of "Wizard Event Newspaper", and Anton is the one who has invested the most.
To put it simply, he is just a part-time worker.
Compared to Dumbledore and Grindelwald, the elders paid a token amount of gold Galleons to buy shares that were smaller than Lockhart's. Anton was extremely generous and smashed out a small vault in Gringotts.
.
The golden Galleons were piled up in every corner, almost blinding Lockhart's eyes.
He still remembered the scene of Anton laughing loudly, waving his hand and saying in a dignified voice, "Spend whatever you want."
In fact, the gold galleons in the small vault were originally intended by Anton to give to his younger brother Rookwood as start-up capital. Anton did not expect that Lucius Malfoy would be so generous as to contribute so much money to Rookwood.
Kerwood opened a newspaper in France and only asked for a small portion of the profit distribution to be left to his son.
Nowadays, Rookwood has gradually developed in the direction of a publishing house and story journal, which coincides with Lockhart's newspaper.
Regarding this aspect, Anton has some ideas in the field of 'grey magic'.
It's just that he is more cautious in this regard, and his energy is being pulled away by the Top 100 Tournament, so he will put it aside for the time being.
The hut was particularly lively today. Lockhart was not able to get Anton's manuscript because there was an extremely important discussion in the hut.
——Two issues regarding whether to fully implement the "Muggle transformation into wizards" and merge it into the "Animagus Office".
Participating in the meeting were the 'core members' of the hut: Anton, Anna, George, Fred, Neville and Hannah.
And the 'companions' of the cabin: Percy, Hermione, Harry, Ron, Draco, Goyle, Crabbe, Dudley.
Unconsciously, the size of the hut grew.
Lockhart watched this scene with emotion, and was keenly aware of an extremely important message, that is, their issues were actually related to the future development of the entire wizarding world.
In such a small and inconspicuous place, such a decision that affects the times was made.
He was listening to their various thoughts, whether mature, extreme, naive, or insightful, and was also carefully observing the status of each member in this meeting.
Hannah Abbott, this inconspicuous girl at the beginning, acted as the recorder and host of the meeting.
Anna Rozier said very few words, but what she said would arouse everyone's thinking. This girl seemed to be the most protective of Anton's own interests among the group of people.
Well, with Anton's character, sometimes he doesn't bother to care about any benefits at all.
Neville Longbottom also doesn't talk much, his ideas are extremely mature and steady, and he thinks more about some specific operational aspects.
George and Fred's out-of-the-box thinking often makes unreliable suggestions, but those wild ideas can always expand the space for discussion.
As for the other peripheral people, Percy's opinions are more political, Harry is more radical, Hermione is more humane, Ron is more conciliatory and conciliatory, Draco is more fighting spirit, and Goyle is always silly and naive.
Yes, yes, Crabbe would be sullen and silent, and Dudley would think too much.
But it all fell to Anton in the end.
During the meeting, it seemed that Anton was making the decisions.
Sometimes Anton doesn't have any special ideas and will put them out for everyone to vote on.
This is obviously an interesting observation for an emerging group.
Lockhart could even feel the emotional unity among the core members of the lodge, as well as the faint division into three factions among the outer members.
Hermione, Harry, and Ron.
Draco, Goyle, Crabbe, and Dudley.
Percy is in a league of his own.
It's very interesting. There are obviously five Wesley brothers in this place, but each of them has taken a different path.
If Anton and these friends are the future of the wizarding world, then everything in front of us seems to be the pattern of the future wizarding world.
"I don't think it should be widely used, at least not now. We should leave some time to observe the impact this thing has on the world."
Hermione explained her thoughts and looked around, "Do you all still remember what we encountered in New York? Those terrible sub-wizard mercenaries were a disaster!"
"Ha" Draco sneered, "It seems that after her parents became wizards, our Miss Granger planned to cut off the channels for others to become wizards. Oh, I think this discussion would have happened before the event.
, you definitely support widespread popularization with both hands."
"You!" Hermione glared at Draco angrily and yelled, "I didn't!"
She gasped hard, "I have no selfish intentions, you bastard!"
Draco whistled lightly, "Who knows."
"Malfoy!" Harry looked at Draco with contempt, "You are just objecting for the sake of objecting. You don't have any ideas at all, so don't come out to cause trouble."
Draco shook his shoulders with a chuckle, "Who said no."
He gently combed his platinum-blond hair with his hands and said loudly, "I think we should open it up in stages in an orderly manner, first leaving the quota to some people who are willing to support us, so that we can take advantage of the opportunity."
expand influence!"
"Ha" Harry sneered imitating Draco's tone just now, "Full of conspiracy and calculation!"
Draco stared at him fiercely, "I think this is a mature plan, you don't understand the rules of the game at all!"
"The rules of the game?" Hermione clenched her fists, her face full of disgust, "They are the rules of the game for your pure-blood family, right? I think Anton's great research results are not used to consolidate the power of your pure-blood family.
use!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Draco blinked and did not refute, but said forcefully, "I think the cabin has the support of a large number of pure-blood families. This is not
A bad thing."
"hateful……"
The conversation between these two people had obviously reached its end, and others also joined in.
Neville sighed, "Although I don't like the topic of pure-blood families, in fact, no matter what you do in the wizarding world, pure-blood families can never be avoided, whether it is Grindelwald, Dumbledore, or Voldemort,
They all have supporters from their respective pure-blood families."
Hermione looked at him in disbelief, "Neville, I didn't expect that you are also a supporter of pure-blood supremacy!"
"Of course not. How can such a topic be either/or?" Neville was a clumsy-mouthed man who couldn't figure out how to explain for a moment, and his face turned red with anxiety.
This is obviously the meaning of the hut allowing so many people to participate in discussions. They will definitely encounter more problems of this kind in the future, which is very different from the original tacit discussions among the core members of the hut.
"That's it, Hermione." Hannah inserted the quill into the small ink jar, raised her head from the notepad, and looked at Hermione and the others seriously, "The pure-blood family in Neville's words is different from the one in your concept.
Pureblood families are very different."
She thought for a moment and gently spread her hands, "It's not a simple bloodline argument."
"The main problem of pure-blood families, especially the Holy 28 pure-blood families, is not that they have pure blood, but that they still control the most important political resources, business resources, technical resources, etc. in the wizarding world.
."
This topic was the result of discussions among the members of the hut in the past. We often got together and talked about everything. While talking, we began to analyze these things.
"For example, the horns and tail hairs of unicorns are commonly used in potions, and the heart nerves of fire dragons are commonly used in wands. The breeding grounds and channels for these magic materials are all controlled by pure-blood families."
"For example, the craftsmanship of making wands, the factory of broomsticks..."
"After all, the population of wizards is too small, and it is even more so in every place after it is distributed around the world. In a certain country or industry, some resources will always be controlled by one or a few families."
"We all agree that magic school is the only option to break through these restrictions. This is how our cabin can break through. George and Fred can cultivate magical animals and make magic props. I can cultivate herbs and various magical plants. Anna
Alchemy items can be refined, and the Animagus office headed by Neville is allowing wizards to have magical abilities that are not weaker than the talents of pure-blood wizards..."
"But these are the future. When we really implement something now, we have to consider the impact it will bring."
Hannah picked up the quill again and shrugged, "This is what Neville said, a topic that pure-blood families cannot avoid."
Listening to her telling this, Draco looked at Hermione with some pride, which made Hermione look a little annoyed.
Goyle also intervened at this time, "The existence of a pure-blood family does not necessarily mean to mess up everything, Hermione."
Seeing Hermione look over, his innocent face was full of sincerity, "The pure-blood family that has influenced wizards for thousands of years also has the meaning of our existence. You have read so much history of magic, you should know it better than us.
Our pure-blood family has never tried to rule the world."
"We can help Anton do this 'Muggle-to-Wizard' thing, and we will also help the Ministry of Magic and Muggles."
"I know you have a bad impression of our pure-blood family, but our Gower family also has Aurors who have won the Order of Merlin for helping Muggles."
Hermione's eyes widened in disbelief, and she turned to look at Ron and Harry in shock. Harry also looked surprised.
Ron nodded, "Yes, that lady was a respectable person. She later married into the Black family. Unfortunately, she died in an accident while studying magic."
Pure-blood families are just one of the small topics. The plan to promote the "Muggles into wizards" involves so many aspects that it cannot be discussed in a small meeting.
Anton didn't seem to make any suggestions, he just raised the topic and watched everyone's debate happily.
Normally in such a situation, when the final outcome of the discussion is reached, apart from the technical aspects Anton will be responsible for, and everything else will be left to the hands of those who participated in the discussion.
Sometimes I am lazy, and sometimes I am really looking forward to watching these people influence the world under my influence.
