Chapter 354 "Hogwarts New Style" Magazine

Ron and Harry untied the little wizards one by one and removed the gauze from their mouths.

As for the only one who was awake, they had already knocked him unconscious.

After the two of them did all this, they quickly changed their clothes into the normal black robes of Hogwarts, and the weird outfit was put into the traceless telescopic ring.

The two decided to hurry back to the common room.

The access control time is coming, and the access control has been very strict recently, and any students who go out at night will be severely punished.

When they arrived in the common room, they breathed a sigh of relief and discussed: "So no one saw the scene where Sirius went crazy and killed people."

Ron: "It's possible that anyone who saw it has been silenced."

Harry: "But the Ministry of Magic closed the case hastily and did not reveal the details of the method or motive."

Ron: "It is possible that the investigation has been completed, but it has not been disclosed to the public. How about I write to my father and ask him to investigate the Ministry of Magic's files on the Sirius case?"

Harry thought of Uncle Weasley's earnest instructions to him before the train departed. He very carefully told him not to have contact with Sirius, and he immediately shook his head.

He hesitated and said, "I suspect your father knows about my relationship with Sirius. He doesn't have a good impression of Sirius. He told me many times before I set off that I should be careful and don't get involved with strange people."

Ron: "Well, you can't check it for him. In turn, it will reveal that you know about your relationship with Sirius."

Harry asked doubtfully: "I'm very curious about something now. The Slytherin students said that they came to provoke me because of their father's wishes. What's the benefit to them? Does anyone want me to contact Sirius?"

If Sirius is really a murderer, do you want me to die by asking me to contact him? "

Ron nodded immediately: "I also think this approach is very unkind."

Suddenly, a voice came from their ears: "What's the uneasy kindness, what's the contact, Harry, what did you and Ron do?"

Harry and Ron turned around and saw Hermione standing up from behind the sofa, her expression serious.

While studying in the common room at night, Hermione could not find Ron and Harry, even after curfew.

Afraid that something might happen to them, I kept waiting at the place where they were used to gathering.

If Ron and Harry hadn't rushed back in time, Hermione would have reported to Professor McGonagall herself.

Unexpectedly, she heard the news before she came forward to ask them.

Hermione frowned and said, "Why don't you say anything? What on earth have you been doing?"

Ron and Harry looked at each other. Ron stuttered and said, "No, it's nothing. We are just discussing a practical issue."

Hermione couldn't help rolling her eyes, "I heard you mention Sirius!"

After waiting for a while, seeing that the two of them still hesitated to speak, Hermione took out her trump card:

"If you refuse to tell me, I will tell Professor McGonagall that you are secretly investigating Sirius!"

Ron cursed: "Hermione, you have to be loyal!"

Hermione shouted back: "I'm just being loyal, so I reported to the professor. I'm saving you!"

In desperation, Harry told Hermione what he had learned.

"Ron and I secretly hid in the corridor in front of the Slytherin common room, knocked out three students, and got some information..."

-

The next day.

While having breakfast in the Great Hall, Hermione cast an anti-eavesdropping spell and told Harry and Ron everything they had done the night before.

Since they were just asking for information and using some drastic measures, Hermione promised them not to tell the professor.

But she felt it was necessary to tell Lin Xia and Draco.

Firstly, they can discuss it together, and secondly, it also allows Lin Xia and Draco to take precautions in advance to prevent Ron and Harry from making "forced inquiries" in the future.

After listening to this, Lin Xia and Draco couldn't help but agree with Ron and Harry's actions.

Lin Xia: "Although the method is crude, it is simple and crude. It is much better to directly obtain the source of information than to go to all the trouble to find out."

Draco: "Great, I was still thinking about how to help you dig out deeper material, but now you dug it out yourself."

Hermione was speechless, and after a long while she said: "Why do you support them when I listen to you?"

She emphasized: "This is wrong, very wrong!"

Lin Xia shook his head, "No, Hermione, their fault is that they chose the wrong time. It would be better to choose a time and place with fewer people.

At that time, the Slytherin common room was still very lively. If the three wizards hadn't happened to go back late, Harry and Ron might not have squatted there.

If we don't use this impatient method, how long will it take to find out the inside story? It's best to go directly to the person involved. "

Hermione: "What if those three little wizards tell the professor immediately after they wake up, they will definitely be found out."

Lin Xia said calmly: "If you find out, find out. They just knocked out three students and asked some questions. They didn't cause any other harm, right?"

Ron and Harry looked at each other excitedly, their heads were swollen after being scolded by Hermione for more than an hour last night.

Today, they got recognition from Draco and Lin Xia, and they felt like they were alive again!

Draco had already left Hermione behind to discuss other "battle plans" with them.

Ron and Harry realized that luck played a big role in their success yesterday.

Harry said seriously: "Next time I take action, I will ask you for advice."

Through this incident, he felt that Lin Xia and Draco were his allies and they could stand in the same camp.

Hermione and Lin Xia were still discussing, and suddenly, three little wizards rushed into the Great Hall.

Their wizard robes were very messy, and their hair was messy. It was obvious that they had encountered something bad.

The little wizard shouted: "Help! Someone in black knocked us out!"

"They asked us about Sirius. It must be that the people sent by Sirius have arrived!"

"Sirius is investigating us. He may want to kill us!!"

The Great Hall was silent for a short time. After the three little wizards fainted one after another, screams suddenly broke out. All the little wizards stood up in panic and ran out quickly.

Like a headless fly, even they didn't know where they could run.

"Sirius came to Hogwarts?"

"Sirius wants to kill us!"

"Sirius asked other little wizards and wanted to kill us after learning our information. He must have randomly selected someone to kill!"

Lin Xia and Draco looked at each other. Well, it was too early for them to praise Harry and Ron.

These two people didn't clean up the beginning and the end at all!

Hermione asked: "What should we do now?"

Ron said nervously: "Then, that... Is it too late for us to turn ourselves in to Professor McGonagall now?"

Lin Xia said calmly: "Stand up first, shout like the little wizards on the scene, don't let others notice our specialness, and then wait and see. The professor may not be able to find anything."

So several people started acting.

Mickel deliberately observed them secretly. Seeing that they were also panicked, he was stunned and suddenly became more confident.

Lin Xia, Draco and Hermione would also be nervous about the murderer. They are just ordinary people!

The panic and noise in the auditorium soon attracted nearby professors.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape came together, waving their wands and shouting in a loud voice: "Quiet! Everyone keep quiet!"

Snape roared like a snake king: "Anyone who makes more noise will be put in solitary confinement! Sent to the Forbidden Forest to pick devil vines!"

The latter's threat was more effective, and the little wizard immediately quieted down.

Professor McGonagall asked: "Tell me, what happened?"

A little wizard stood up tremblingly and said that the three little wizards brought information.

Professor McGonagall frowned and used the levitation spell to take the three little wizards away. It involved Sirius Black and needed to be investigated as soon as possible.

Harry and Ron were worried all day, but they didn't wait for the professor's inquiry. Instead, they saw the three little wizards again in the auditorium at night.

The three little wizards apologized to the students around them. Harry and Ron didn't dare to go close. Lin Xia and Hermione went over to listen.

"I'm sorry, the professor said that wasn't Sirius. He didn't have the courage to enter Hogwarts. The person we saw deliberately pretended to be Sirius."

"Yes, as long as we misunderstand, cause us to panic, attract Dementors, and relax the surveillance outside the school."

"That person is not Sirius, but he is also Sirius's companion. He is investigating Sirius's news!"

After listening to this, Lin Xia and Hermione told Harry and Ron the news at the dining table of their own college.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

As for why these three people didn't report it last night, it was because they fell asleep after being knocked unconscious and slept until the next morning.

One person caught a cold because the air was too cold.

The little wizard suddenly didn't fear Sirius so much.

If those people were really Sirius's companions, why didn't they kill people?

Presumably they also knew how powerful Hogwarts was and didn't dare to attack students.

As the meal was about to end, the Great Hall suddenly ushered in a commotion.

This time, it was not that another little wizard was in danger and came to tip off, but that the newspaper founded by the Weasley twins,

"Hogwarts New Style", finally opened!

The previous investigation interview on strange costumes was made into a newspaper, and the sales were unexpectedly high, so the twins decided to start a magazine on campus.

They not only wrote it themselves, but also accepted students' submissions.

This time, "Hogwarts New Style" was made into a magazine style, with a total of ten pages.

Two pages wrote about what happened recently in Hogwarts, and two pages wrote about students' submissions, all of which were strange experiences that students had encountered.

Finally, the twins wrote the remaining six pages with divination content.

These contents are all divination techniques learned from Trelawney, various predictions she made, and because she was drunk and didn't think about it, she broke the news to some professors.

The little wizards all came for the "Deciphering Divination" column!

Although Hermione hated Professor Trelawney, she had to admit that this professor had a high status in the hearts of lower-grade students.

George and Fred took the latest edition of "Hogwarts New Style" and sold it to students, focusing on the "Deciphering Divination" column.

They spent money to learn from Trelawney, and they must not lose money!

The magazine was sold for 1 silver Sickle, which was much more expensive than the previous interview price.

But the price of a silver Sickle is not expensive. The little wizard only needs to think about it and make up his mind to buy it. There is no need to buy it together.

Because the twins claimed that each magazine would have a code, and they would announce a lucky code every week and give them three magazines for free.

This lottery attracted the interest of all the little wizards. There was only one quota, but the little wizards felt that they could win.

Lin Xia and others walked over, and there was already a large group of little wizards around the twins, scrambling for a magazine.

Every time a copy was sold, George would say: "The magazine has a confidentiality facility. You need to tap the magazine with a magic wand and say "Listen to the guidance of the goddess of fate" before the content of the magazine will emerge."

Fred smiled and added: "Welcome to come again next time!"

After the people in front bought it, it was finally the turn of the people behind. George and Fred had sold out.

They said: "Go back and get the goods now, and sell them in the Gryffindor common room at 8 pm. At the same time, the grocery store will also have new products."

The little wizards left reluctantly.

Lin Xia and others were able to squeeze through.

As soon as they saw Lin Xia, George and Fred smiled brightly, quietly handed a magazine to Lin Xia, and another to the wealthy customer Draco.

The former was a gift, and the latter was a benefit for large purchases.

George said, "Lin Xia, the advice you gave us is really great. I didn't expect Professor Trelawney to be so interesting. I can always hear many interesting stories from her."

Fred: "We have become Trelawney's last disciples and have taken two classes!"

Lin Xia asked, "You use the knowledge that Professor Trelawney said to promote and sell. Have you asked the professor for her opinion? She may not let you use it."

George blinked, "We didn't use her knowledge. Everything in the magazine is anonymous. It's all from the revelations of kind people."

Draco heard the meaning and couldn't help saying, "You are good at doing business."

George and Fred said in unison, "Thank you for the compliment!"

They saw Ron and asked him if he wanted the magazine. They could give him a more detailed one with thirty pages for only two silver Sickles.

Ron was a little tempted, but Draco pointed it out, "You're not selling the first draft, are you?

What we sell now are the refined contents. Many first drafts are scraps and don't have any useful information."

George and Fred laughed it off immediately.

George: "It's still a little different. You can get more knowledge about divination."

Fred: "It's just not that easy to understand."

Ron didn't understand that these two brothers wanted to cheat him out of money again!

Why did he have two brothers who were enemies? (End of this chapter)
