Elwyn had underestimated the influence of the Daily Prophet. The morning after they agreed to reprint the article, he had just swallowed a piece of bread when he saw a downpour of owls. WwW.AiQuXs.cOM
"Look!"
No one knew who shouted, but all the students in the auditorium raised their heads and saw a shocking scene.
Like a downpour, countless owls flew into the Hogwarts Auditorium one after another, almost covering the entire ceiling.
"To Mr Elwyn Mason, Hogwarts School Hall!"
Elwyn saw his name and address on an envelope carried by an owl. He frowned and reached for the letter. But three, four, five more owls fluttered down beside him, trampling on butter, knocking over salt-pots, and trying to be the first to give him the letter.
"What's going on?" Corin asked in surprise.
No one answered. Another seven owls landed, but this time they were looking for Harry.
They screamed and flapped their wings. Everyone at Gryffindor's table craned their necks to look at them.
"I think I know what's going on. Look at this!"
Hermione said excitedly. She reached into the pile of feathers and pulled out a long-eared owl with a long cylindrical bundle. But before she could open the parcel, more than ten owls flew in and surrounded her in an instant.
Elwyn tore open the package that Hermione handed him. Inside was the latest issue of the Prophet Daily Journal. He unfolded it. The article about Lily Potter, Harry's mother, was on the front page, with comments by Mr. Goodfee, the editor of the Daily Prophet, and Madame Bassett, the famous historian of magic.
Lockhart's photo and novel occupied an eye-catching spot in the entertainment section and the novel section respectively. Even Hermione's two articles were quite long, just below Rita Skeeter's special comments.
"These are letters from readers, all of them," Hermione said eagerly.
The letter in her hand was sent by a witch in her fifties. Her daughter had died in a flying accident when she was eight years old. She sincerely thanked Hermione for her efforts in ensuring the safety of underage witches. Most of the letters were from Muggle wizards. They thanked Hermione for saying what they wanted to say.
Unlike Hermione's repetitive thanks, Harry's was much more touching. People used the most flowery words to express their sadness for Harry's pitiful life.
As for Elwyn, there were more voices of doubt.
People complained that some things were not clearly stated in his article, such as how Lord Voldemort failed, what was the spell Lily used in the end, and who was the black-haired boy on the locket in her arms.
"This man says they have the right to know the truth."
Ron opened a letter for Elwyn and could not help muttering, "What does he want to know? Why doesn't he ask the mysterious man?!"
"Look at this. This woman suggests you go to St. Mungo Hospital for Magic Patients," Corin continued, "She seems to be a follower of the mysterious man."
In fact, the people in the classroom were more stressed than Elwyn.
Almost every professor had received a large number of letters, most of which were from Dumbledore and Professor Meg. The readers who had read Elwyn's article sincerely hoped that the professors would take better care of Harry.
Faced with an endless stream of owls, the two of them were overwhelmed.
Professor Snape, who was next to them, was much more straightforward. He took out his wand and waved it, and all the owls in front of him flew away in an instant.
Unlike Snape, who was furious, Lockhart was extremely excited. He had received the most letters. He happily took down every letter and put them away in a special pocket so that he could quickly reply to the fans in his spare time.
In any case, Elwyn's article received an unprecedented response.
The adults were amazed that a few young wizards could write an article of this level. Most people thought that what they said was very reasonable. Although there were some inaccuracies in the wording, considering the age of the few, these flaws could be ignored.
The chief editor of the Daily Prophet, Mr. Goodfey, expressed his willingness to reprint all of Elwyn, Hermione, and Lockhart's articles for a long time. This greatly improved the reputation of the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper. Now, other than the young wizards in the school, there were even adult wizards outside the school who were willing to subscribe to the newspaper.
With the advantage gained from the first issue, Elwyn successfully released the next few issues. Each issue had a print run of around 800 copies.
Everything was starting to get on track. The Hogwarts Magic Newspaper became a part of the daily lives of the young wizards. They received more and more contributions, and the newspaper had a small profit. The professors and students of the Hogwarts also gradually got used to the owls that rained on Wednesday breakfast.
Because they did not earn a lot of gold coins, after careful planning, Elwyn bought a small amount of potion materials for himself and a new quill for Hermione. The rest of the money was invested in Fred and George's research.
With a sufficient supply of raw materials, the twins achieved good results.
In addition to the ever-increasing variety of magical fireworks, they also developed telescopic ears that could be used to eavesdrop, a quill that could automatically spray ink, a candy that could cause nosebleeds after eating it, and a Fat Tongue Toffee Candy that could make the tongue bigger.
These things were all very interesting, but of course, they were also full of danger.
Fred and George received a lot of orders, and many young wizards expressed their expectations for their new products. However, Percy and Hermione did not allow them to give their unsuccessfully researched products to others. They had no choice but to experiment on themselves, which caused the twins to spend more and more time in the school hospital.
The head nurse, Madam Pomfrey, was in a hurry. Even without Fred and George, she was busy every day.
Since October, there had been a sudden flu epidemic in the school.
Ginny had been sick recently, and even Elwyn was not spared. They were forced by Percy to drink some of Madam Pomfrey's refreshing potions, and then smoke came out of their ears for a long time.
The depression caused by the flu, the editing of newspaper articles, and the increasingly heavy homework made Elwyn pay less attention to the secret chamber.
Fortunately, apart from looking a little pale, Ginny did not behave abnormally. Every night, she went to the library to help Hermione organize manuscripts. She probably did not have time to open the secret chamber, or she was not controlled by Tom Liddell.
Elwyn found time to talk to her, and Ginny said she had never seen a black diary.
This surprised Elwyn. If Tom Liddell's diary was not with Ginny, then where could it be? Or did Lucius Malfoy not give the diary to Ginny? How could this be? Maybe it was a butterfly effect brought about by his time travel.
But in any case, the plot had changed, and Elwyn's greatest advantage was gone!
After worrying for a while, Elwyn could not figure out what was going on, so he put the matter aside.
