"I have sent people out to negotiate with the Ministry of Magic in various European countries, but to be honest, the results are not good." Professor Dumbledore said with some distress. "The only ones who have achieved results are vampires. After seeing what I sent out,
After the envoy, several famous vampire families promised that they would try their best to restrain their tribesmen from staying away from Britain."
"I'm curious why this is?" Professor Dumbledore's tone was full of doubt. "I didn't promise them anything, nor did I give them any gifts. They just made the decision as soon as they heard that they were the envoys I sent.
promise."
"Could it be that they deceived you?" Hermione asked a possibility. "That group of vampires from the ancient family cannot be kind creatures. For the sake of profit, lying is as simple as eating and drinking for them.
.”
"No." Dumbledore shook his head. "The envoy I sent told me that these vampires swore in the name of Cain. For vampires, this kind of oath is something they cannot break."
"Anyway, this is a good thing. We don't need to worry too much." Ryan said. He felt that this was probably an effect of killing an entire branch of vampires when he was in fourth grade.
.After that incident, Professor Dumbledore's reputation spread among dark creatures. The near-extinction of the European giants further strengthened this rumor.
For those vampires, they naturally don't mind fishing in troubled waters to benefit themselves in such a chaotic time. But if there is a high probability that the whole family's lives will be involved in reaping the benefits, vampires will naturally not mind either.
He is so stubborn that he wants money rather than his life.
After discussing all the things that happened before, Ryan and the others said a few more words and then said goodbye to Principal Dumbledore. Because the principal still had a lot of things to do, and Ryan and the others also needed to discuss the latest issue of "Watch"
, that’s what Muggles is about” and making some preparations for the publication of a new daily newspaper.
Since the outbreak of the war, the newspapers and magazines in London have basically become propaganda channels for the Ministry of Magic in London. Apart from the newly formed Hogwarts Light Radio, the only one in Hogsmeade can be used to
The only promotional magazine left was "Look, It's a Muggle" published jointly by Ryan and Weasley's Joke Shop.
Originally, Hogsmeade's Ministry of Magic still hoped to use "The Quibbler", which had been released for a longer time, as its own promotional tool, but unfortunately they couldn't negotiate with Mr. Lovegood. At the same time, the absurdity before "The Quibbler"
The content makes this magazine less credible and is not conducive to subsequent publicity work.
On the other hand, the Ministry of Magic in Hogsmeade is currently seriously short of manpower, and can only concentrate its personnel on some indispensable departments. It is impossible to spare the people to run the newspaper. In this case, the only choice is to support Ryan and the others to organize it.
"Look, it's a Muggle".
However, although the Ministry of Magic is short of manpower and cannot provide human resources help, it can be said to have provided great convenience in other aspects. For example, it has given them special rights to conduct interviews, and provided sufficient ink, printing equipment, and corresponding paper.
In this case, in addition to converting "Look, This Is Muggle" into a monthly publication, Lane and the others are also preparing to make a daily newspaper to compete with the "Daily Prophet".
"Don't you think the name "Magic Britannia" is a bit too common?" After returning to his residence, Ryan looked at the first issue of the daily newspaper that will be released tomorrow and said, when they were in Beauxbatons.
Mainly as a cover, so I have a lot of free time. Naturally, I have prepared all the work for newspaper distribution.
"At least it's much better than the "Hogwarts Light" or "Pravda" you proposed." Hermione glared at Ryan, "The name in front not only sounds like the school newspaper, but also plagiarized from the current Li Jordan
The name of the radio station we are running. As for the name behind it, don’t think I don’t know where it comes from.”
"Well, the name you thought of is the most suitable." Ryan had to admit that he was indeed a bad namer, and soon he changed the topic to other directions. "I hope the distribution of our newspaper will go well tomorrow."
"It will definitely go well." Hermione held Ryan's hand, "Because there are many original things in this newspaper, at least the detailed teaching of magic principles and combat magic can never be found in other newspapers.
"
Thanks to this war, Ryan and the others have the best opportunity to popularize basic combat magic. Because of the current situation, everyone needs this, and the group of pure-blood families who would object because their interests are harmed are now standing with the enemy.
side.
"What about the pure-blood families on our side?" Ryan asked seriously. "Although according to the current situation, I believe that everything can go smoothly. But it would be better if we can minimize our internal conflicts."
"It's not a big problem." Hermione took out a lot of parchment. "During the last book club meeting, we asked a lot of people about this question. These are the replies from their families. Basically
It’s support.”
Ryan took the letters and read them one by one. From these letters, he could confirm that the Weasley family, the Abbot family and the Longbottom family all supported his actions. They even each attached it to their own letters.
Some small spellcasting tips that are passed down within the family. Especially the Longbottom family. These tips sent by Neville's grandmother are even enough to train an Auror.
"This is much better than we imagined." Hermione frowned, "I'm just not sure why - why they fully cooperated with us, and even gave us so much additional information.
I know this is their simple contribution, I didn't even make any request before."
"The reason here is very simple." Ryan explained, looking at Hermione's troubled look. "The Weasley family is good at making magic props, while the Abbott family is good at all kinds of magic related to housework and food production. So.
For the people of these two families, magic related to combat is not what they are good at, and spreading this knowledge will not affect them. Supporting the spread of knowledge will bring them a good reputation. They will naturally seek profit.
Avoid harm and choose what is beneficial to them.”
"As for the Longbottom family." Ryan paused as he said this. "Their family has been Aurors for several generations. In theory, they will not support us. But now, only Neville is left in the future of the entire Longbottom family.
For them, the most important thing is to revive their family name at this time, instead of clinging to inheritance and disappearing into the dust of history like the Marvolo family."
"I even suspect that the reason why Mrs. Longbottom provided us with so much precious information is to build momentum for Neville, even if it is not the core knowledge of their family." Ryan looked at the enclosed letter of Mrs. Longbottom again. A thick book of magic records. "You must know that for a pure-blood family, reputation can sometimes determine the rise or fall of the family."
"You mean, this is out of everyone's selfishness, that's why we can advance this matter so easily." Hermione looked a little frustrated. She had always thought that her previous persuasion out of justice had an effect.
"If our classmates will be moved by the reason of justice, those ancient pure-blood family heads are not that simple. These families with hundreds of thousands of years of history have experienced so many things. They have definitely survived to this day. It cannot be achieved by having a heart for justice."
Ryan said as he picked up a sample of the newspaper that will be published tomorrow and turned to the Curse Analysis column on page 8. The first issue of Curse Analysis was about the techniques and techniques for using the Coma Curse. It also contained information provided by the Longbottom family. A little trick in it. "But there is nothing wrong with this. At least our goal has been achieved. This knowledge will be spread to everyone who needs it."
