time at hogwarts

Lockhart, who was working hard to prepare a new letter, read Magos's letter, and his first reaction was to reject it, because he felt that there was no market for it and it was far from his quality. ..

However, just when he was about to write a letter to decline, he inadvertently noticed that Xin was half-finished. He was used to appropriating the adventures of other wizards. It was still a bit difficult to completely create a new one that was logically reasonable and not inferior to the previous ones. This was not It has been almost a year since he announced his new book, and it is less than half completed.

Putting down his quill, Lockhart thought about it for a while, thinking that recently some wizards in the Daily Prophet were speculating whether he had run out of talents. This was unacceptable to him who cherished his fame, but he failed to come up with something new. He had to stop the wizards' mouths, which made him very angry.

Maybe I can use the comics mentioned by McGoss as a buffer. If the outside world is not satisfied, I can also have an excuse to say that I want to try to change the style of my work so that everyone can appreciate my work in other ways. Since I am not satisfied, I will continue to write In the past, this gave me enough time to create new works.And it would be best if it was as popular as Magos said.

Thinking of this, Lockhart smiled slyly, feeling that Magos's letter came too timely, and then he picked up the letter and read it again carefully. ..

Since he was going to use comics as a buffer and agreed to Magos's suggestion, Lockhart would not just perfunctory the matter. This was not only to prevent Magos from being annoyed, but also to prevent his own reputation from being damaged.

After reading it again, Lockhart sneered at his two suggestions, feeling that he was taking it too much for granted. The difference in strength between magical creatures could be described as a world of difference. Is there any wizard who would be willing to use the Flobber Caterpillar as a partner? It's not a Salamander or a Chimera, let alone a duel between magical creatures. Can a Flobber Caterpillar defeat another Flobber Caterpillar? He feels that if he really follows this plot, his fame will be directly Destroyed.

Children are indeed children, and their thoughts are so innocent.

After thinking for a while, he tactfully wrote down his thoughts, and then proposed to adapt his past stories, meet various magical creatures in the form of adventure, and then discover their characteristics, find out their weaknesses, and escape or defeat those magical creatures. Creatures, and some too low-level magical creatures can be used as backgrounds, just brush them off when you encounter them.

After reading his reply, Lockhart nodded with satisfaction, but he was not in a hurry to send the letter back now, and planned to try to draw a little for him to see first.

It was a day before Magos received Lockhart's reply.After reading it, he had to admit that it was really stupid to use Pokémon to bring in magical creatures. The scene of the basilisk fighting for hundreds of rounds could not help but appear in his mind. Even wizards would think that the author who drew this picture is mentally ill.It was probably going to be cold by then.

However, he couldn't agree to Lockhart's proposal to take away low-level magical creatures. The purpose of making this type of comics was not to make money, but mainly to promote the attraction of magical creatures to wizards, so he hoped to be able to draw attention to those magical creatures. Let’s take a little space to introduce the creature next to it.

Then there were a few pages of comics sent by Lockhart. The first page showed an adult wizard preparing items for an adventure at home, and kept mumbling to himself about what he was going to prepare.

On the second page, he encountered some ordinary magical creatures along the way. He would occasionally stop to look at them and name them, but he would not say anything else.

The third page is obviously not coherent with the two pages just now. The pictures inside are completely different from the ones just now. Moreover, he no longer has a carefree expression, but his face is full of nervousness. From time to time, he uses magic spells behind him. There will be a terrifying roar.

The last page showed a Norwegian Ridgeback flying in the air chasing him. From time to time, he used the surrounding environment and some magic spells to resist, and then kept recalling his knowledge of the Norwegian Ridgeback, and finally used his knowledge of this terrifying Ridgeback to kill him. Learn about magical creatures and escape from a tough dragon's mouth.

After reading it, Magos thought it was good and showed it to Harry and Ron.

"How about it, would you be interested in a work like this?"

This was the first time Ron had seen something like this, and he was completely attracted by the dynamic pictures inside.He nodded repeatedly after hearing Magos's words.

"It's much more interesting than I thought. It turns out it can still be like this."

Harry nodded in agreement,

“It’s nothing compared to Dudley’s comics, and I can’t wait for the day it comes out.”

Magos would not just ask about their feelings. In the next few days, he visited wizards of different grades in the four colleges. Although not every wizard was interested, the ones who were interested were obviously greater than those who were not interested. .

Then he asked the professors for their opinions, and the result was that he was reprimanded, but no one denied the comic, especially Flitwick and Dumbledore who found it interesting.

After receiving this feedback, Magos began to write to Quirrell and asked him to start applying for magazines.Then he wrote to Lockhart, suggesting that he give more space to magical creatures. The few pages he sent had too many descriptions of wizards, and then allowed him to draw the first issue of comics first. He was temporarily preparing One issue per week, priced at one silver coin.

Due to the Dementors, almost all outdoor activities in the school were forced to stop, including expeditions to the Forbidden Forest. Therefore, after reading the few pages of Magos' comics, most wizards were looking forward to seeing the new magazine as soon as possible. There are also some who just like Lockhart.Wizards often came to their lounge to urge him to make comics quickly.

Whether it was the novelty or being forced by the Dementors, the comic's appeal was greater than Magos could have imagined.After receiving a batch from the comic magazine, he asked Quirrell to print two thousand copies, then sell one thousand copies in the school, and another thousand copies for trial sale in the shops in Diagon Alley to see if Lockhart's fame can be used. Attract the favor of adult wizards.

Magos didn't know the sales situation in Diagon Alley yet, but half of the comics sent to Hogwarts were bought almost the moment they arrived, and the other half were sold out in just two days. There were many Wizards buy more than one copy, some may buy an extra copy for their collection, and some may give it to friends or show it to their parents.Especially wizards born from ordinary people with relatively wealthy families would choose to buy two copies. Magos had also asked Quirrell to send two copies to his parents before.
