Chapter 59
"I have no objection to the publication of this book, after all, this is your work, but I have to ask you, do you have any connections?"
After all, although she doesn't like young wizards to read this kind of article, she herself is still very interested in it, and it is definitely a very pleasant thing to be able to pass the time with such an interesting book in her spare time.
"Yes. Leon replied that he had thought a lot about it after preparing to take it out, and Rita Skeeter, whom he had met last time, seemed to be a good tool person.
And the other party is a reporter from the Daily Prophet, who happens to be a practitioner in related industries, and it is quite comfortable to use waste, and Leon does not feel that Rita is qualified to refuse the help he needs.
"Oh, you seem to know quite a few people. Professor McGonagall was a little surprised to hear this unexpected answer, but she still understood that the water was too deep for this little guy Leon.
"But I wouldn't mind if you would be willing to give you a little help, Professor, and in return I would give you the first set of the printed book as a gift. Although Rita is available, Leon still intends to let Professor McGonagall give a hand, although it will be a favor, but this is not a good opportunity to bring the two closer.
"I don't have a class in the afternoon, you have a Defence Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon. Professor McGonagall thought for a moment, then asked.
If it were an ordinary little wizard, when they heard this, they would think that Professor McGonagall was expressing refusal, but Leon was not, Professor McGonagall had already thought of the afternoon schedule, and it was obvious that she was even more anxious than herself.
"Do you think I still need to take a Defence Against the Dark Arts class, not to mention that Professor Quirrell can really teach the young wizards Defence Against the Dark Arts? As the Deputy Headmaster, you should know very well how bad Professor Quirrell's Defence Against the Dark Arts class is. Leon complained to Quirrell unabashedly.
"Well, but he's a professor hired by Professor Dumbledore, so you might as well write a leave note and ask Professor Snape to approve it for you." Without hesitation, Professor McGonagall agreed with Leon's intention to skip class, much to Leon's sideways.
It seems that Professor Quirrell is not only unpopular among the students, but also only a temporary worker in the hearts of the professors.
After making an appointment with Professor McGonagall to meet after lunch, Leon went straight to his dean's office, without writing a leave note, just mentioning to Snape that he was going out with Professor McGonagall to do something in the afternoon, and Snape nodded in agreement.
"Sure enough, it's better to have a good relationship with the professors. Seeing that the leave had gone so smoothly, Leon muttered with great satisfaction, and then rushed to the auditorium for lunch, and came to Professor McGonagall's office, where the older cat lady was already waiting for Leon.
"I'll do it more. Instead of taking Leon out of the office, Professor McGonagall let Leon into the room directly, and was a little confused, but seeing the fireplace in Professor McGonagall's office and the Floo powder on it, Leon knew what Professor McGonagall meant.
"In Hogwarts, only my fireplace is connected to the Floo network, and I can only go out, not in, so when we come back, we need to go to Hogsmeade first, now, stand here, remember, read the right place you want to go, Diagon Alley, and be sure to make sure that the words are clear and the grammar is correct, otherwise it is easy to deviate. "
After Professor McGonagall had finished telling Leon, she handed Leon a handful of Floo powder, and first took the lead in demonstrating it, before being consumed by the flames in the fireplace and disappearing.
Leon shrugged his shoulders and said, "Diagon Alley!"
Immediately afterwards, he felt a warm flame enveloping him, and in the next second, he appeared in front of the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron Bar, and the feeling of Floo Net was much more comfortable than the shapeshifting, no wonder it could become one of the main ways for wizards to travel.
"How it feels. Professor McGonagall asked, standing next to Leon.
"It's much more comfortable than phantom shifting. Leon replied.
"Definitely. Professor McGonagall replied empathetically, and then led Leon directly into Diagon Alley.
Even without the little wizards, Diagon Alley is still the liveliest place in the British wizarding world, and as the main trading market for wizards, there are a large number of wizards hanging out almost every day.
Professor McGonagall didn't have any ink, and walked directly to the south side with Leon, without stopping along the way, and finally, the two came to a five-story building with a huge sign: Silent Ran Books.
"Newt's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is published by this company, and I've worked with their principals, and while ML is better, you may still see a sample of the next issue of Transfiguration Today that hasn't been published, but they have some bias about purebloods, which may not be too friendly to you. "
Professor McGonagall introduced Leon, and then led Leon inside the Silent Books.
As soon as he entered the door, Leon saw a large number of wizards walking back and forth on the first floor, mixed with newspapers or books in their hands, a busy appearance, but Professor McGonagall didn't care about this, and led Leon directly to the elevator next to the door, entered the elevator, and pressed the button to go to the third floor.
"Oh, Professor McGonagall, why are you here? At this moment, a man with a mustache and a tired expression walked into the elevator, and was about to press the button when he saw Professor McGonagall, who immediately shouted excitedly.
"Hans, long time no see. Professor McGonagall greeted the mustache cordially, and then accepted Leon, "This was once my student, an excellent graduate of Gryffindor. "
"Oh, a little wizard, it seems that he has just entered the school, what are you bringing him to our company for?" Hans also noticed Leon at this time, and asked enthusiastically: "My name is Domini Hans, what about you, little wizard?"
"Leon Chris. Leon replied.
"Oh, good name. Hans responded politely, but Leon didn't think the name was good, after all, when he named himself, Leon used the names of the two guys he was most impressed with, and these two, in their world, were famous evil stars.
"I brought this kid to publish his work. Professor McGonagall answered Hans's questions.
"Oh, the work of a young wizard who has just entered school, and you have been with me personally, and I am suddenly interested, Professor McGonagall, to reintroduce myself, Domini Hans, one of the editors-in-chief of Silent Books, and if you want to publish Chris's work, maybe I can help you with something. "
