Chapter 208 I feel the same way, the quilt that is unattended tonight is dry.
This makes Professor McGonagall confused. What is the relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald? They are old enemies!What else could it be?
"This..." The professor hesitated for a long time, but did not say a word.
"I heard that you also participated in the war against Grindelwald. Alas! The Ministry of Magic is also true. Why doesn't it commend your achievements?"
"I don't like interruptions," Professor McGonagall then replied.
In fact, she was taken care of. After the global war, the Ministry of Magic invited her to return to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.But she just refused to answer.
"Oh! By the way." Suddenly, something sounded like something sounded to Mrs. Rosmerta, and she quickly took out two books from the shelf.
"This is for you, ahem, and the other one. Could you please ask the principal to sign it for me? If not, forget it." She had a smile on her face, but held the two books forcefully in her hand. Forced to Professor McGonagall.
The professor originally planned to refuse, but she gave up the idea after she lowered her head and saw the author on the cover of the book.
Anthony Windsor?
Is it the kid from your own college?
When did he write the book?
Forget it, after all, he is a child of his own college, so he must support him.
So Professor McGonagall reluctantly accepted it, but she had to pay for her own copy. As for Dumbledore's signature, she wanted to give it a try.
Then, the professor turned around and disappeared into the street with two books in his hands.
"Wow! Even Professor McGonagall came to buy books?"
"It seems that this book is definitely well written and very popular!"
"Even the professor can't help but buy a book to read. Madam, give me one too!"
"And me, give me that one too!"
"I want two copies. I brought them for my roommate."
For a time, there was a buzz of people in front of the Three Broomsticks Bar, but Mrs. Rosmerta was smiling, with an inexplicable light in her eyes. She happily moved a lot of books to the door, and then joined the blue ocean of book selling. In the tide.
----
On the other side, Professor McGonagall, who returned to the castle, did not immediately open Anthony's book.
She also has a job. As the dean and vice-principal, she handles almost all the paperwork at Hogwarts. However, Dumbledore, the principal, is out and about all day long, acting as his hands-off shopkeeper.Life was pretty easy.
In particular, he recently proposed to renovate Hogwarts out of the blue, which suddenly made Professor McGonagall's work a lot heavier.
Fortunately, she has gotten used to it after so many years.If it were anyone else, he would have quit a long time ago.
By the time Professor McGonagall finished her work, it was already dinner time. After a brief meal, the group of young wizards who had fought in Hogsmeade Village in the afternoon came to the Transfiguration Classroom to receive punishment.
She handed over the Slytherin students to Professor Snape, so the classroom was filled with only Gryffindor students.
The Weasley twins are among this group.
Professor McGonagall's cold eyes passed over the two of them.
There is really nothing she can do about these two living treasures in her college.Moreover, certain little wizards in the second grade have a tendency of pushing back the waves ahead.
This gave Professor McGonagall a headache.
She couldn't understand why the children in her college were all troublemakers!
Sometimes she really envied Professor Flitwick.Ravenclaw students are probably the most well-behaved children in all of Hogwarts.
In addition, during the sorting, Professor McGonagall spent 5 minutes thinking with the sorting hat on her head before she was sorted into Gryffindor instead of Ravenclaw.
The same goes for Professor Flitwick, except that he was assigned to Ravenclaw.It can be seen from the fact that young Professor Flitwick was once the champion of the duel competition, this professor definitely has a lot of Gryffindor genes.
Sometimes the two deans would joke about the branching.If the two of them had been swapped, Professor McGonagall would now be the Head of Ravenclaw, and Professor Flitwick would be the Head of Gryffindor.
"Hey!" Professor McGonagall couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this.
Maybe this is my destiny. I will never be able to get rid of these naughty children in my life.
"Okay, let's get started!"
Professor McGonagall, who was sitting on the desk, said calmly.
Her punishments for students are not like those of other professors. Most of them are physical punishments. For example, Snape will make students deal with potion residues and clean cauldrons in the basement, Professor Sprout will make students change soil for plants, or It's cleaning vases or something like that.
Her methods of punishment were simple and primitive.
Just copy books!
Simple and crude.
As her voice rang in the classroom, soon, a swishing sound began to be heard throughout the transformation classroom.
Listening to the reassuring voice, Professor McGonagall only had some free time at this time.
She was sitting on the lectern, wearing square glasses and curly black hair tied into a high bun. The cover of the book with gorgeous roses finally caught her attention.
In the mood of supporting the children in his college, the professor slowly opened this official best-seller.
And there were many little wizards from Hogwarts who opened it with her.
The poetic words took them back to seven or eighty years ago in just a moment, to that high-spirited time.
Especially in the first half of the story about Merlin and King Arthur, Anthony specially added a long poem at the end, which was not his original work. There were too many long poems about those two people circulating in this land, and he was just summarizing them.
But this small change gives the entire book a strong epic feel.
In the middle part, Anthony simply copied the story of the movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", but of course the perspective was more Dumbledore's.
Those magnificent words seem to show the confrontation between two of the world's top wizards in front of you.
That kind of character reversal, especially the scene where Grindelwald disguises himself as a high-ranking official of the Magic Congress, the text is more shocking than the visual. All the foreshadowing in the first half suddenly explodes at this moment, which is really attractive.
Of course, some of them seemed to be the plot of the story, and Professor McGonagall had personally participated in it. When she read the parts that were related to her, a relaxed smile appeared on the professor's face. At that time, she had just resigned from the Ministry of Magic and joined the Husband. Gwartz worked as Dumbledore's assistant.
It was the time when she worked the hardest, both at work and with the little wizard.
Looking back now, she will smile.
However, as the reading continued, the painting style of the whole book became a bit strange, and there was a lingering smell.
The reader's perspective will follow the two protagonists, Dumbledore and Grandeward, and follow their memories back to that summer, when Godric's Hollow was full of roses.
Then a fact suddenly and unreservedly appeared in front of the readers, that is, Dumbledore and Grindelwald were actually lovers.
Ok?
Seeing this, Professor McGonagall was stunned.She wanted to refute, but...
Why is it so reasonable?
Immediately, she began to examine her memory. In fact, at that time, she already had some doubts, or vague suspicions.But that's just suspicion.
Dumbledore's character...
Just like in the book, he is a person whose heart is as deep as the sea. He never talks about his past or his evaluation of certain people.
That passage in the book.
Growing up in a childhood made up of lies, this had a great impact on the young Dumbledore. Throughout his life, Dumbledore was not a sincere person, and his sea-like mind was always filled with sea fog. , which also became the final annotation of his tragic life.
This evaluation is quite accurate.
Professor McGonagall nodded, quite agreeing with this conclusion.
As Dumbledore's closest comrade, Professor McGonagall could not confirm the relationship between the two.
As she continued to read, the professor's brows slowly began to tighten together.
The emotions that were about to come out overflowed through the words.
Even Professor McGonagall, who had always been strong, had red eyes.
---
"Ahem! Have you seen that something is not right with Professor McGonagall?" The little wizards sitting underground naturally discovered the professor's anomaly.
"Hey, I don't know!" Fred said in a low voice as if everyone was drunk and I was alone.
"I have read that book a long time ago. When it was still a manuscript, it was very touching. I guess Professor McGonagall was moved by it!"
"Is that "Magical Legends: Dumbledore"?" On the side, another senior Gryffindor student said in surprise. Of course he had heard of this book, and he also knew that it was a sophomore in their college. It was written by a junior wizard!
"No way! What can a little wizard write?"
"Hey! Felipe, what do you mean?" George became a little unhappy when he heard this.
“Just because you can’t write it yourself doesn’t mean others can’t.”
"Second grade!" Felipe continued to yell.
"What's wrong with the second grade? Have you seen it? If you haven't seen it, you dare to slander Professor McGonagall without seeing it. What's wrong? Do you think you are better than Professor McGonagall?" Fred also said Then he opened his mouth and said sarcastically.
"I..." At this moment, Felipe was really speechless. After all, the ironclad facts were right in front of him. They had been muttering in low voices for so long. If Professor McGonagall hadn't been fascinated, he would have started scolding them by now.
"Humph!" Seeing that the guy didn't speak, Gemini looked at him disdainfully.Then he began to whisper towards the other little wizards, Crazy Amway's book.
Professor McGonagall on the desk has already read the end of the novel.
She read the novel worth about 20 yuan very quickly. After all, she had been a professor for decades and revised the little wizard's papers every day. Of course, she could read things very quickly.
After she read the last word, the professor slowly closed the book and exhaled.
As a person who has experienced this and as a former participant, Professor McGonagall is stronger than ordinary people. Although she is also uncomfortable, she has not yet burst into tears.
I just felt a little melancholy for no reason.
She saw herself in Dumbledore.
Her mother is a wizard and her father is a Muggle. Her parents eloped together. After her father learned about his mother's wizard identity, the love between the two continued, but the trust collapsed.
She witnessed the pain her father endured because of the peculiarities of their family.You can also feel the physical and mental exhaustion her mother felt trying to adapt to life in a village full of Muggles.
When she was 11 years old, she came to Hogwarts. For Professor McGonagall, this was a relief, a freedom she could never find, and the pressure of her family disappeared here.
She is the best student in the school, first in the Owls and Newls years, prefect, head girl, and winner of the Contemporary Transfiguration's Most Promising Newcomer Award.
After graduation, she originally had a bright future, but she lost her mind for the first and only time because like her mother, she fell in love with a Muggle.
It was also a summer. Although the land there was not full of roses, it contained the sweet love between the two.But - behind all this there is terrible pressure.
Think about your mother, think about your home.Thinking that she would have to live a life of lies in the future, she changed her mind and fled to London, exhausted both physically and mentally.
She didn't run away because she didn't love him, it was because she loved him that she chose to leave him.
This is very similar to Dumbledore's choice at that time.
It turns out that even though they are both wizards, they fall in love but cannot be together.
Professor McGonagall announced with laughter and tears that the punishment of the little wizards was over, and they should all go back.
Then the candles on the table were extinguished one by one. Finally, there was only the only candle left on the desk in the darkness, which was still lit...
Likewise, Professor McGonagall is not the only one who is autistic tonight, but also those curious little wizards.
The little wizards don't feel the same way as the professor does.Moreover, they, a group of children born in the 80s, have long been far away from the era of Grindelwald. The little wizard can't feel the slightest bit of his terror.
There are quite a few young wizards who are impressed by his charisma.
This kind of arrogance and self-confidence, elegance and nobility have attracted many young girls - well - boys.
They thought it was a story, so the feeling of not being able to love it was even stronger.
I don’t know how many beds were wet tonight and how many people were kept awake all night.
----
Early the next morning.
The breeze blew in from the open window next to Anthony's bed, and a faint fragrance of grass filled the entire dormitory.
On the cabinet next to his bed, there is a parchment letter. If you look closely, you will find that it is a financial list.
It came from Mr. Miller last night, giving details of sales during this period.
It has been two weeks since the new book was released.
A total of 26 copies were sold, including 14 copies of "Magical Legends: Dumbledore" and 12 copies of "Magical Legends: Merlin".
In the United States alone, 20 copies of the book were purchased, [-] copies of each of the two books.
Take the average of a single book and calculate it by five galleons.
In two weeks, Anthony earned a total of 150 million galleons.Of course, there are various costs involved, but they are at least 40 million.
100 million 40 thousand gold galleons...
Um...how much government funding does Hogwarts have?
180 million, right?Zhenzhen!That’s all!Not enough to show off!
Cough cough--
Of course, Anthony can't keep so much money in his hands. After paying off the debt, it will be good to have 80 million left.After all, he had heard that the company building and even the tables had been bought by the previous evil boss.
But apart from these, this is still a windfall, and the popularity of the two books has not dropped yet. With the opening of markets in Europe, the Far East, and Africa, it should be no problem to hit sales of 30!
Anthony thought so, and only hoped that things would develop like this.
----
Early in the morning, Anthony and his friends in the dormitory rushed to the auditorium for dinner.
Since the Hogwarts menu was updated, more people eat on time every day.
Sitting on the Gryffindor bench, drinking fresh milk, the quartet suddenly became acutely aware that the little wizards around them all looked sickly.
"Influenza again?" Anthony couldn't help but think back to that winter last year, when the whole castle smelled of refreshing scent.
"It doesn't look like it - it looks like he stayed up late." Hermione, who had extensive experience in staying up late, could tell at a glance that the way those people were breathing was definitely not a cold.
"Stay up late? So many people stay up late together?" Ron looked around curiously, "What activities were there last night? We went to bed too early and didn't participate?"
"No activity!" At this time, the Weasley twins came over and sat around them. "It's Anthony's book. Hogsmeade also started buying it yesterday. They all stayed up late reading it last night."
"There are so many people staying up late reading?" Does Ron know the price of a single copy of Anthony's book? Although he hasn't spent all the Galleons he earned from buying Acromantula Venom last time, he still doesn't want to spend money to buy a six-plus book. Long's novel.
too expensive.
It’s better to wait for a while and buy a second-hand copy!
"Hogsmeade Village has actually started selling books? Doesn't that mean there is no bookstore?" Anthony asked curiously.
"I don't know, Mrs. Rosmerta got a batch from somewhere." George picked up an apple on the table and took a bite.
"Hi! I also specially got a batch of goods from the publishing house and planned to sell them in Hogwarts. It's good now." Anthony said with some regret. He did get about a hundred goods from the publishing house. This new book was intended to be sold at Hogwarts, but Madam Rosmerta appeared halfway through.
"Selling books?" When they heard about the money-making business, George and Fred's eyes turned cold. "Haha, leave it to us, we guarantee that all of them will be sold."
The two patted their chests and promised.
"Well, the book is in my dormitory. You can go there at noon and get a Galleons for every book sold. How about that?" Anthony said lightly.
Overnight he has become a rich man, earning dozens or hundreds of galleons. It's a joke. Now I don't pick up any silver coins dropped on the ground. I, the prince, can earn a galleung just by bending down...
The already swollen Anthony spoke with wealth and wealth.I just want it to show on my face that I am rich.
"Uh - too many, one Sickle!" The Weasley twins, who had always been greedy for money, suddenly became hesitant and said slowly.
"Okay, I can't even seize the opportunity to make money for you, don't regret it!" Anthony said with a smile. The children of the Weasley family are all like this. Although they were born poor and like to make money, they are extremely principled.You won’t take the share that doesn’t belong to you.
Ron was like that, and so were George and Fred!
In disguise, Molly, Mrs. Weasley's education is really good.
The seven children in the family all have upright views. Even Percy, the only one who has taken the wrong path, finally wakes up and returns to the family.
"Haha, no regrets, no regrets at all." George and Fred looked at him, both of them smiling.
