"An unprecedented success, Elwyn!" Fred and George commented on the newspaper.
Now, the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper had become the most popular thing in the whole school, and all the students were discussing its contents.
The article on the front page about the scuffle between Gryffindor and Slytherin in the Quidditch stadium had greatly satisfied everyone's curiosity. In particular, Corin took a few beautiful photos, vividly displaying Elwyn's handsome side.
With his handsome appearance, outstanding strength, and the fact that he was the organizer of the newspaper, Elwyn's popularity had almost surpassed Harry's. He had become the most famous student in the school, and all the comments were positive. There were even girls who were prepared to write him love letters.
This was the advantage of controlling public opinion. In the press release written by Elwyn himself, Slytherin was mainly responsible for the outbreak of the battle.
Of course, that was the truth.
Now that everyone was condemning Malfoy, he was much more well-behaved. He only glared angrily at Elwyn and Harry from afar, but did not come forward to cause trouble.
Other than that, Hermione's comments did not seem to be as bad as expected. Of course, most normal wizards would not read these things. But during lunch, Elwyn noticed that several professors were carefully reading the contents of those articles.
The introduction to the school's secret passageways, Quidditch, and mystical creatures were unexpectedly well received by the lower grade students. Although there were a lot of excerpts from books, many young Magi would not read those professional books. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net

In fact, they thought that it was very helpful for them to integrate into school life quickly. The word games and jokes created by the twins became the best way for many senior students to kill time.
As for Luna's article, "How To Find The Horned Snoring Beast", it seemed that apart from herself, no one paid much attention to it.
But Luna was still very happy to give the latest issue of "Sing A Different Tune" to Elwyn. She expressed that her father was willing to cooperate with them to publish the research results of the Horned Snoring Beast and the Bubble Nose Monster.
Of course, the one with the most readership and popularity were the photos of Lockhart and his novels.
This was especially obvious among the girls. Hermione planned to collect these things, and she was not the only one. There were even quite a few Slythrin girls who were secretly collecting the Hogwarts Magic Journal, making it seem like they were doing some secret activity.
What was even rarer was that since the afternoon, people had been buying new newspapers from Ivan. They were going to mail them back to their parents. Most of them were Lockhart's admirers. As the number of people increased, Elwyn had to consider increasing the print run.
During dinner, someone finally noticed that Elwyn had written about Harry's mother, Lily Potter. The large amount of detailed description brought everyone back to Godric's Valley 12 years ago, to the battle that affected the current state of the magic world.
As the most famous event in modern magic history, all the young wizards knew how Lord Voldemort lost, because the person who defeated him was sitting among them. However, no one knew the details, especially what Elwyn had written, which had never been published before.
For a time, this story replaced Lockhart's novel and became the focus of attention.
Tonight's dinner was destined to be longer than usual. Everyone was immersed in that tragic history, and no one was in the mood to care about the food in front of them.
Other than Slytherin's long table, the other three academies' long tables and classrooms were very quiet. Everyone was looking down at the newspaper. This caught Slytherin off guard. Because of the public boycott, they didn't know what the others were reading, and it wasn't appropriate for them to go up and ask.
In the end, under the lead of the prefect, they left the hall with embarrassed expressions. However, everyone's eyes were filled with obvious curiosity.
The corner of Elwyn's mouth curled up slightly. Looks like I'll have to work late tonight.
At this point, Slytherin's public boycott was almost in name only. Elwyn also noticed that Snape was absent tonight. It seemed that this article had a great impact on him.
In fact, in the following week, Professor Snape's mood had been depressed. He always left the classroom immediately after class and didn't go to the hall for dinner. Other than Elwyn, no one knew what he was thinking. He didn't even cause trouble for the students of Gryffindor Academy in class. It was unbelievable.
This was only one of the effects of this article. Now, almost everyone knew what happened on the day of Lord Voldemort's defeat for the first time. They were affected by the tragic duel between Jaime Potter and Lord Voldemort, and touched by the motherly love that Lily Potter showed at the end.
Just like the article said, she had a chance to live, but for Harry, she gave it up. In the end, the power of love made Lord Voldemort's magic ineffective, and the world of magic ushered in a new era.
More than an hour later, when Elwyn and Harry got up and left the hall, all the students spontaneously applauded.
They were saluting Harry, his parents, and the heroes who had saved the world of magic.
That night, Gryffindor held a grand celebration party. All the staff of Hogwarts Magic were the focus of attention. This made Corin very excited. He had never been paid so much attention before.
Hogwarts Magic was an unprecedented success. After giving away more than seven hundred copies for free, the newspaper was printed another three hundred copies.
Even the businesses that advertised on it benefited from it. All the stock of the magical fireworks that Fred and George had modified was sold out in just one day. They were rushing to produce new fireworks.
The Hogwarts merchants, who originally had a perfunctory purpose, increased the sales of their products by thirty percent. For example, many people ordered lemonade from the Three Broomsticks Bar through owls. This forced Ms. Rosmerta to buy a large batch of lemons. She was so sour that she regretted not treating Elwyn to butter beer. Another example was the cockroach pile that Elwyn grandly recommended in the newspaper. In an instant, it became the most popular candy for Hogwarts's freshmen.
This made Ambrosio and Frum of Honey Duchess very happy. After all, cockroach pile was not a popular candy.
Of course, when the freshmen bought it, they realized that it really did look like a live cockroach. Many of them were so disgusted that they lost their appetite. Because of this, Elwyn gained the terrifying title of "cockroach killer".
A few days later, all the merchants in Hogwarts sent a joint letter, inviting Elwyn to visit again this weekend to discuss the next step of cooperation.
Although the price they were willing to pay was still lower than the average advertising fee of the Daily Prophet, it was still an extremely rare improvement. Elwyn decided to sign a long-term contract with them when the time came.
This way, the basic expenses of printing the newspaper could be solved.
This was a great relief. Otherwise, he would not have the money to pay for the next issue of Hogwarts Magic.
Three days later, just as Elwyn was having breakfast and discussing the content of the next issue with Hermione, he received an unexpected letter.
"Look at this, guys!" Elwyn read the letter to them. "It's from the editor of the Daily Prophet, Barnabas Scudfe. He's willing to buy the rights to republish our articles, including all of Professor Lockhart's photos, materials, and novels, my story about Harry's mother, Lily Potter, and …"
Elwyn stopped. Everyone looked at him nervously.
"Also, about Hermione's two articles, 'Reject Bloodline Discrimination, Protect the Legal Rights of Muggle Wizards', and 'Appeal to the Ministry of Magic to Pay Attention to the Safety of Underage Wizards'," Elwyn read out dryly.
"Oh my god!" Ron's mouth was wide open in shock.
"Is this true, Elwyn?!" Hermione suddenly jumped up.
"That's right." Elwyn wrinkled his nose and added, "In fact, Mr. Scudfe thinks that your article is very profound. If you're willing, you just need to sign the contract attached. They'll mail you the payment along with the republishing fees tomorrow at this time."
"Of course I'm willing!" Hermione took the contract.
"The editor of the Daily Prophet is definitely crazy. Why would they buy Hermione's article?" Ron said in surprise, "Is it because she called on the Ministry of Magic to ban underage wizards from playing Quidditch?!"
"Who knows? Maybe he has a strong fear of heights like me and gets dizzy at the sight of broomsticks." Elwyn stood up. "I'm going to seek Professor Lockhart's opinion. Corin, come with me and take some new photos."
Looking at Elwyn's back, Harry blinked innocently. He had no idea what "profound" meant.
