The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Ron's question hits the spot.

Fred opened a letter on the package. He glanced at it and showed a look of joy and surprise. George next to him leaned in and showed the same reaction.

"Well, Mom, actually, well, we shouldn't have to buy those Lockhart books."

Mrs. Weasley showed a surprised expression, and she felt a little unbelievable: the problem before the whole family was solved like this? But if you don't need to buy books, then Ginny's things can be bought first-hand... Mrs. Weasley imagined what it would look like without the burden of textbooks.

She was a little moved.

"Well, there's a... friend who sent us sets of Muggle-printed Lockhart books..."

"Muggle printing?" Mr. Weasley caught the key word.

Fred looked weird. He quickly flipped through the top book, and then said with certainty, "It's really a Muggle book. Nothing in the picture will move."

Since the printing was done by inserting the pages into an opening of the copier, Tom was not worried that the Muggle clerk could see the moving pages and leak the secret.

Mr. Weasley was immediately intrigued. He took the book from his son and read it carefully.

The paper in the book is a type of printing paper picked by Tom. It lacks a bleaching step, so it is slightly yellowed and has the texture of pure wood pulp. The Lichen Bookstore Edition uses imitation parchment paper, which is slightly better in hand than Tom's paper, but in any case, the reading experience of the two kinds of paper is much better than the pale printing paper.

The cover of the book was a strange material, not metal or leather, which Mr Weasley knew was a Muggle invention called plastic. The title of the book is printed in squiggles on the cover of the plastic cover: "Break With the Female Ghost".

Mr. Weasley flipped through two pages and found that the style of writing was indeed Lockhart's style, and the authenticity of the content of this book should be guaranteed. Then, he saw an illustration: it is a small village with beautiful scenery, which looks like a place with simple folk customs.

A very normal picture, but Mr. Weasley was excited: because all the objects in the picture are static.

"It's amazing, how did the Muggles do it, the things in the photos are still static!"

Harry next to him didn't even bother to look up and pay attention to them: the people in the photo can move!

Mrs. Weasley also took a book and read it carefully for a while, "It is indeed Mr. Lockhart's new work, but these photos are all false..."

"Actually, not being able to see his face is an advantage in my opinion." For some reason, Fred's desire to survive was extremely low today.

Mrs Weasley's eyes became dangerous.

Fortunately, there was George, who stood up again and changed the subject for his brother: "Great! Mom, you don't have to buy a new book, and the money you save can add a few new robes to us." At the same time, he immediately acted, Divide the book that you got.

Percy also looked up, "I want to buy a new quill."

Ginny didn't speak, just stared at her mother.

Whenever it comes to the topic of money, Harry is a little embarrassed. He wants to help the family from the bottom of his heart, but he is afraid that rash actions will hurt their feelings. So he can only concentrate on destroying his own cereal.

"This friend is really rich, these books must not be cheap, right?" Ron gently stroked the new book he got, feeling the scent of ink on it, "Harry, Muggles need to make so many books. , it must be difficult."

Harry, who was named, really couldn't escape, so he could only bite the bullet and explain the principle of the copier to the Weasley family. Hearing this, Mr. Weasley was stunned, and at the same time he had the idea of ​​getting a copier.

Tom really didn't intend to make any money. He just took out these twenty sets of books and just wanted to exchange them for a whole set of Weasley's prank toys. To Fred, it was no different from giving away for free.

Seeing that the family were excitedly discussing what to buy in Diagon Alley next week, Fred gave George a wink, and the two quietly left the restaurant. Fred is going to pack a prank toy he invented, and this behavior needs to avoid his own mother - otherwise, he will not have his own good fruit to eat.

Just as Fred and George happily went back upstairs to pack the prank products, Professor McGonagall, the vice-principal of Hogwarts, frowned in distress: She has encountered a little trouble here.

She frowned as she looked at a new letter sent by Owl. She had a vague intuition: This family also needs someone from Hogwarts to communicate. But she herself is really lacking skills: Professor McGonagall is very busy, she needs to write admission letters, do all kinds of complicated preparations for the start of the school, and at the same time as a master of transfiguration, she also has many meetings, letters to her personal consultation …

In fact, a considerable part of these jobs should be done by Dumbledore, but this man is a fisherman and likes to arrange various tasks, which has led to a lot of work on Professor McGonagall's side. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

But Dumbledore can't be blamed either. His purpose is to train and train his successor - an old man over 100 years old, it's time to train a successor.

But it is indeed a fact that Professor McGonagall has no skills.

It is one of Professor McGonagall's jobs to help young wizards from Muggle families lead the way. In theory, Professor McGonagall can ask other professors for help, but the problem is that all professors have to rest during the summer vacation, and not every professor accepts overtime like Professor McGonagall. A secretary/assistant/deputy who works overtime to spit.

Originally, there was another choice: Hagrid, although his size is a little scary, he can be regarded as having experience in receiving and inviting.

But Hagrid had more important things to do this summer, and Professor Dumbledore arranged for him to help Professor Sylvanus Kettleborn in the Conservation of Magical Creatures class to take care of his animals.

So Professor McGonagall was troubled: she needed someone, who should be able to handle the job, understand the Muggle world, and at the same time work overtime during the holidays - ah no, help the school during the holidays...

"Who meets these conditions?" Professor McGonagall frowned and thought for a while, and a figure gradually appeared in front of her.

She smiled knowingly and began to look for her own lesson plans and notes.

So Tom received a package after sending a package.

He opened the package and saw two letters, a purse, and two notebooks. One of the letters looked familiar, and at first glance it was an admission letter to Hogwarts.

Because on the cover was written in emerald green ink:

Second bedroom, second floor, 17 Burlington Square, Eastbourne, East Sussex

Miss Peggy Grossman

The envelope also has the Hogwarts badge on it.
