a certain scientific harry potter

He deliberately delayed it just now, so he could see that Xenophilius really attached great importance to "The Quibbler", and he definitely regarded it as his entire effort.

Under such circumstances, if Xenophilius' real wish was to run the magazine in a safe and sound way, Harry didn't want him to get mixed up with him unwillingly because of Luna, And you have to continue to take risks.

After all, the other party is Luna's father, in Harry's "previous life"... Uh, in short, Harry means that "The Quibbler" was shut down because of his involvement, and now he is unconditionally helping Xenophilius to make a comeback , that is also a matter of duty.

"If that's the case... of course the idea of ​​starting the publication is still the same as before!" Xenophilius thought for a while, and suddenly became extremely excited, and even danced in front of Harry.

"In this world, there are still many unknown truths. The significance of the existence of "The Quibbler" is to expose them one by one! For example, the horned snoring beast must exist!"

"There are also those unremarkable garden engineers in the garden. Wizards always regard them as pests, but they are actually a blessing. If you get the saliva presented by them, there will be very genius ideas... such as me The welcoming ceremony planned by my daughter!"

"There is also Cornelius Fudge, don't be fooled by his appearance, this guy is actually very insidious. He will order others to make goblins into pies, or assassinate them by drowning; he secretly raises Agubashjit, and he has an army of Heliopas; the Department of Mysteries is actually a poisons laboratory, which he uses to develop poisons to deal with political enemies..."

Xenophilius talked to Harry endlessly, and finally let Harry know where Luna's strange ideas came from.

Dare to be affectionate is to be influenced by one's ears and eyes and to be genetically inherited~

However, although Xenophilius is a bit crazy, he is still an interesting father.

Presumably because of him, Luna was able to face her mother's departure at a very young age.

And his evaluation of Cornelius Fudge also made Harry understand that Xenophilius was not at all afraid of cooperating with him against the Ministry of Magic.

Is it because of Luna...

Harry inadvertently glanced at the blond girl beside him, only to find that although Luna was not looking at him, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned in an almost invisible arc.

It seems that before she came, Luna should have done a lot of her father's work, which made this conversation so smooth.

And if that's the case, Harry doesn't need to follow Xenophilius any more.

"Mr. Lovegood, I have to say that I really admire your genius idea." Harry smiled and nodded to Xenophilius, "I will provide you with start-up capital immediately, and you will It's going to get very busy right away."

While talking, Harry actually took out a cash box from the ring, and explained to Xenophilius... what the so-called 'immediately' means.

And his actions naturally made Xenophilius stunned again.

"Harry... what are you doing?" Xenophilius asked with a frown, "Even if you, as an investor, don't want to ask too much about the operation of the magazine, you should at least sign an agreement before providing funds. Bar?"

"I think we can keep it simple. The sooner the start-up funds are in place, the sooner the magazine can be launched." Harry said with a smile, "As for the investment agreement, wait until the magazine gets back on track." Yes, you can sign another one with me."

"This...Harry, you are really a generous child. Luna is really lucky to have a friend like you."

Hearing what Harry said, Xenophilius felt from the bottom of his heart that Harry was a good boy... definitely not because the other party gave him the money first.

"In fact, I was the one who was lucky. Luna helped me a lot when I was in school, and the reason why such a good magazine as "The Quibbler" was shut down was also because of the information and photos I provided." Harry Said apologetically.

"Hey, I also want to fight for sales." Xenophilius waved his hand indifferently, "And I wish there would be more news like that, it will definitely make "The Quibbler" more popular .”

"Ah, that's exactly what I thought, so it seems that Mr. Lovegood and I really hit it off."

"That's really my honor~"

After that, the old and the young smiled at each other, and a solid cooperative relationship was established in a wave of harmonious business exchanges.

Chapter 440 The third chapter "The Quibbler" is to be bigger and stronger

"This...Harry, what's the matter with you?"

In the purely circular room of Lovegood's house, at this moment, Xenophilius' face was filled with astonishment.

With Harry's acquiescence just now, he opened the cash box and took a quick glance at the Galleon inside... Then he was dazzled by the gorgeousness.

That was definitely a staggering amount, so that Xenophilius couldn't help but wonder if Harry had any other purpose.

Scanning back and forth on the three of Hahelu for a while, Xenophilius kept telling himself not to think about it, but the problem is...

He gave too much.

After seeing Xenophilius' doubts, Harry immediately explained: "Mr. Lovegood, I don't think you should be surprised by the number of these Galleons, because after the new magazine is actually in operation, The money might not even be enough. Remember, our opponents... are the Daily Prophet and the Ministry of Magic!"

To put it bluntly, the former "Quieter" was said to be a magazine, but it was actually Xenophilius' own small workshop.

The Lovegood family originally had a magic printing machine. Every time Xenophilius published a publication, he made a content template in advance on that printing machine, and then the magazine could be printed automatically; after these magazines were successfully printed, He then distributes the magazines subscribed in advance through the leased owl, and the rest must be sold by himself.

The content of the magazine is all based on self-editing, and the intensity of publicity and promotion is almost zero. It is no wonder that the sales volume of the previous "Quieker" has not been high.

But now that Harry has stepped in, he will not let the nascent magazine continue to maintain the original embarrassing situation, and will definitely give it a brand new major upgrade from the inside out.

First of all, the location of the magazine cannot continue to be placed in Lovegood's house, this place is too remote.

Just at the beginning of the Easter holiday, the Weasley brothers told Harry that they had found a shop with three floors in Diagon Alley. Harry had inspected it when he went to Gringotts to withdraw money, and he was quite satisfied overall. Yes, it has been finalized and will be renovated immediately.

After the store renovation was completed, Harry could use the lower two floors as a store, and use the top floor as an office for The Quibbler.

Since we are going to compete with the "Daily Prophet", then we will directly open the store on the same alley as the opponent's, and what we want is the energy to take the initiative to challenge.

Moreover, in order to effectively increase sales, Harry will also equip the magazine with more and more advanced magic printing presses, and give Xenophilius Dora a few editors with outstanding literary talents...

In a word, it is to become bigger and stronger, to create greater glories~

"Okay...it's because I'm out of shape." After listening to Harry's "not yet perfect initial concept", Xenophilius subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Well, this is not a second venture, it is simply a shining krypton gold.

But... Xenophilius is also very sure that if Harry really does what he wants to do, he will definitely get rich this time.

However, there is another problem before him...

"Harry, I admit that if I do this, the sales of the magazine will not be bad from the very beginning... But if I do this, I may slow down the entire magazine." Xenophilius said worriedly, "If According to your idea, it is not enough for the magazine to rely on me alone to provide content; and since the last closure, I have been blacklisted by the post office, and they will not rent me even an owl. "

"Mr. Lovegood, don't worry, I guarantee that the content will not be a problem." Harry smiled confidently, "We can make an appointment with the teachers and students of Hogwarts, and they will definitely provide quite a lot of content. ; and I also know several highly respected wizards who have agreed to publish fixed topics in the magazine; in addition, I will recommend some excellent copy editors to you at that time... Uh, maybe you may not like it too much then them."

As for Harry's currently confirmed copy editor, what should I say...

Some might be stilted, humorless, and absolutely scoff at what Xenophilius has to offer.

Some people's original reputation was notoriously bad. If Harry hadn't used the monitoring of the ghost of Greengrass to successfully seize the opponent's weakness, that guy would even want to blackmail Harry in turn.

In short, none of the copy editors Harry had picked up for Xenophilius were honest, but their abilities were beyond doubt.

"As for the fact that you can't rent an owl, you don't have to worry about that." Harry slapped his chest loudly, "We have a better way to deliver magazines now, and the cost you have to pay is only one per page It’s just an extra page in the magazine.”

When the new "The Quibbler" opens, Harry will show everyone how easy it is for a good alchemist to make money.

Deliver newspapers and magazines, and need to rent or raise a flock of owls yourself?

For Harry, it was just a matter of a piece of paper and a hardening spell.

As long as a curing spell is attached to the magic printing machine to ensure that the last sheet of each magazine can be automatically folded into an origami owl, the problem of magazine delivery can be easily solved.

In short, after fully understanding Harry's vision for the future of "The Quibbler", Xenophilius finally understood...why rich second-generation entrepreneurs are often more likely to succeed.

Even though Harry is only 14 years old, the various resources in his hands are probably beyond the reach of most people who struggle for a lifetime.

And after thoroughly negotiating cooperation with Xenophilius and re-entering the chat mode, Harry can finally ask the questions he has always cared about.

"Mr. Xenophilius, I've been wanting to ask since the very beginning... the pendant you wear is the mark of the Deathly Hallows, right?" Harry looked at Xenophilius' bow tie politely, "I I want to know, do you know a lot about this legendary magic item?"

"You're also interested in the Deathly Hallows?" Harry's words surprised Xenophilius, and he even opened his eyes unconsciously.

"It's not just a question of interest, in fact... I am a direct descendant of one of the Deathly Hallows." Harry explained to Xenophilius seriously, "The invisibility cloak among the three Deathly Hallows, currently It's in my hands!"

"You... what did you say?!" At this moment, Xenophilius even jumped up from the chair in surprise.

"This is something I only know after many investigations. The original owner of the Invisibility Cloak was Ignotus Peverier, and his granddaughter Aiolans Peverier later married my ancestor Hadwin Potter married and brought the Invisibility Cloak to the Potter family."

"Since then, the invisibility cloak, one of the Deathly Hallows, has been passed down from generation to generation by the eldest son of the Potter family, and has been passed down to me."

Chapter 440 There Are Loopholes in the Story of the Poet Beedou

Earlier, Harry had gone to Godric's Hollow, and with the help of a small dose of Veritaserum, he had learned many things from old Bathilda.

Among them, there is the Deathly Hallows that Harry has always mastered, but has never known its origin.

The powerful old wand, the resurrection stone that can bring people back to life, and the invisibility cloak that even the god of death can't find after wearing it...

If these three treasures are replaced by vertical lines, circles, and triangles, they will be the pendant Xenophilius wears around his neck today, the Deathly Hallows.

The three Deathly Hallows are said to have been handed down by the three Peverell brothers, and the old tomb named 'Ignotus' that Harry saw in Godric's Hollow before, it is actually It is the burial place of one of the three brothers, Ignotus Peverell.

And Harry's Invisibility Cloak, the original owner is also him.

However, although he straightened out his family tree with a few words from old Bathilda, Harry still lacked understanding of the details of the Deathly Hallows.

Old Bathilda was old after all, even if she could regain her temporary sobriety with the Veritaserum, she would not remember many things in the past.

The last thing she told Harry was that Dumbledore and the former Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald had a close personal relationship when they were young and traveled together.

And finally...they've talked about the Deathly Hallows more than once!

"It's actually the descendant of the Deathly Hallows... I see, it's no wonder you believe in this legend." Xenophilius seemed to be very surprised by Harry's family background, and there was a trace of feeling in his words as if he had met a bosom friend. Excited.

"This is really great. You know, since a certain dark wizard took it as his own symbol, very few wizards will continue to believe in it. Even because I carried this pendant, before A lot of people have criticized me."

"Hmph, the Deathly Hallows itself has absolutely nothing to do with the Dark Wizard, it's just that Gellert Grindelwald has ruined his reputation!"

Harry snorted lightly, it seemed that every time something about the original Dark Lord was involved, he would become inexplicably angry.

"That's right, that's great!" However, Xenophilius couldn't help but be overwhelmed by his remarks.

"Those who vilify and criticize the Deathly Hallows, they are pure ignorance! These three Hallows are not 'black' at all...at least not in the low-level sense they understand. Although the Hallows are named after 'Death' , but it has nothing to do with evil in itself, and I just want to use this symbol to show myself to other believers, hoping to get help on the way of searching.”

Having said a long series of words, Xenophilius seemed a little thirsty. He grabbed several candy cubes and threw them into his Goldigan tea. Also a relish expression.

"A believer...referring to those who pursue the Deathly Hallows?" Hermione asked curiously at this moment, "Mr. Lovegood is also one of the believers?"

"Hermione, I can only say that I am a kind of believer. Although I am also looking for the Deathly Hallows, there are differences between believers and believers." Xenophilius shook his head when he heard this, "I just yearn for death. Hallows, I just believe that they must exist. For example, I met Harry today and confirmed the existence of the Invisibility Cloak from him. This is a great encouragement to me. But... other believers are different. "

"What's the difference?" Hermione frowned.

"Rather than believers, it's better to say they are collectors." Harry said in a deep voice, "They are the ones who want to keep all the Deathly Hallows for themselves."

"That's right, there are many people who have been looking for the Deathly Hallows." Xenophilius nodded, "They analyzed the existence of the Deathly Hallows from the legends of the three brothers...Harry, have you heard of the Deathly Hallows?" Brother's legend?"

"No." Harry shook his head, "I only know about the surname Peverell."

"In that case, then you should really read this story carefully. I happen to have this book here."

Xenophilius got up to look for it, but Luna went straight to a pile of manuscripts and pulled out a somewhat torn booklet.

The Tales of Beedle the Poet

"Ha, this is the book!" Xenophilius clapped his hands happily, "Would anyone like to read it? It's like telling a story to everyone."

"Let me do it." Hermione directly took the book from Luna, turned to the story of the three brothers, and began to read it for everyone.

"Once upon a time, there were three brothers who were traveling along a secluded path, and it was almost dusk..."

In "The Story Collection of Beedou the Poet", the story of the three brothers is actually very simple. It is nothing more than that the three brothers used powerful magic to shake the god of death, so the god of death used a treasure to fool the three of them in turn in order to complete the KPI. One, and finally succeeded in taking away more than three heads.

It is said that the three Peverell brothers met the god of death one day, and finally used a trick to break through the difficulties set by the god of death, so the god of death decided to kill the three of them.

But as a god, it is very cheap to directly use divine power to bully people, so the god of death thought of a trick and promised to give each of the three brothers a treasure.

The boss is a militant, hoping to be invincible, so he got the world's most powerful elder wand, but he soon drifted away... So, he was wiped on the neck in a deep sleep, and the old wand followed stolen.

The second child is described as an arrogant person who wants to continue to humiliate the god of death, so the god of death gave him a resurrection stone. After returning home, he resurrected the girl he wanted to marry but died unfortunately, only to find that the other party's temperament changed drastically. , as if it didn't belong to the world at all... So, the second child was tortured madly, and finally committed suicide.

And the third child is the smartest and most humble one written by the poet. He doesn't believe in the god of death, and he doesn't want to be found by the god of death, so the god of death gave him the invisibility cloak, and he has never taken it off since then... So the third child has been After living for a long time, he took off the invisibility cloak and handed it to his son until the end of his life. Then he greeted the god of death like an old friend, and left the world with the god of death as an equal.

"That's right, the story is like this, the Deathly Hallows... the three treasures given by the God of Death." Xenophilius finally said with emotion, "It is said that whoever can gather the three Deathly Hallows can become the master of the God of Death .”

"Master of Death?" Hermione, who had just finished reading the story, couldn't help being stunned.

"Conqueror, victor, you can call it whatever you want." Xenophilius shrugged indifferently, "In short... probably to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder, or even become the god of death."

"However, it is a pity that it is impossible at all." Harry shook his head noncommittal at this time, "Even if the legend is true, it is impossible to match the three items that the god of death made at will. What's more, the poet Beedou is still writing fables in essence, and the legend of the three brothers he wrote not only has a strong personal tendency, but also has some loopholes in it."

"For example, Ignotus Peverell, the third eldest among them, according to my family tree and historical data, he only lived to be 76 years old all year round, which is still a long way from 'living forever'. Cut it~"

Chapter 440 The fifth child may be the most pitiful one

After searching for the year of Ignotus Peverell's birth and death, Harry really got relatively detailed information.

Ignotus lived in the 13th century. He was born in 1214 and died in 1291 at the age of 76.
