The Rise of the Muggles at Hogwarts

Anthony, who was coming down the spiral staircase, happened to see this scene. He was familiar with it at the time. Why did these words sound so like the comments of a certain blogger?

And...when did Grindelwald become so popular?

Are all the little wizards at Hogwarts so aware?

Full of doubts, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind!

"Anthony? Are you finally willing to walk out of the dormitory?"

He turned around and looked, and it turned out to be Hermione. The little witch was panting and holding a stack of books. From the look on her face, it was obvious that she had just come back from the library.

"When you finish writing, it will come out naturally!" After that, he walked over and took the book from Hermione's hand.

"Alas!" Hermione looked excited, then whispered: "I'll take a look first, okay?"

"No problem. Anyway, I want to hold a book club for everyone to read together. This is just the first edition. You can give me your comments so I can revise it."

"Really?" The excitement on the little witch's face suddenly dropped a bit, but it was not obvious, at least Anthony did not notice it, and then continued: "Your book will definitely be very successful, and now the entire Hogwart All the little wizards here are talking about your Correspondence."

"By the way, I still want to ask, where did they know about Grindelwald?" He and Hermione walked into the auditorium. After sitting down, Anthony asked in a low voice while placing the book in front of the table. .

"Uh - that - I - I only told Ginny." The little witch hesitated for a moment, and then said cautiously. After finishing speaking, she stared at Anthony anxiously.

"The others..."

"Ginny told Luna, and Neville and Seamus also found out from Ginny."

"Okay! I understand." Anthony waved his hand and said seemingly indifferently.

There was a sigh in my heart. This is equivalent to people reading the movie commentary first and then watching the original film. Readers who have already been exposed to spoilers will have a greatly reduced viewing experience.

However, there are always two sides to everything. Anthony looked back at the entire auditorium, and most of the conversations centered around the principal. Maybe this was not a movie commentary, but a movie trailer?

Who knows?

As he spoke, he took out his new book from his pocket, which was already bound.

'Magical Legends: Dumbledore'

The cover shows roses flying in Godric's Hollow.

On the back is an oil painting of two young boys leaning together, naturally inspired by the silhouettes of photos sent by Mr. Newt.

Then he handed the book to Hermione.

"Wow! So beautiful!" Hermione, who took the new book from Anthony, was immediately attracted by the flying petals. Most of the covers of books in the wizarding world are plain, or they are directly the author's self-portrait, such as Lockhart.

There are only a few people like Anthony who use a painting directly.

The little witch couldn't wait to open the title page.

I saw a white page with a line of small words in the center: 'The summer roses in Godric's Hollow bloomed only once, but in this book, they will always be as high-spirited as they are' - dedicated to this book Two of the greatest legendary wizards of the century: ggad.

"It's so well written." Hermione sighed, feeling waves in her heart for no reason.

Then, she turned to the first page!

-

Preface: Merlin - as the beginning of the history of modern magic, he is No. 1, great and supreme, but what is the use of it.He can't even save himself!

-

The book begins with Merlin, and that heavy sense of history immediately hits her face, transporting Hermione to thousands of years ago.

After describing the most classic monarch and mentor in the history of magic in extremely concise words, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye it was already a thousand years later.

-

Albus Dumbledore was born in Godric's Hollow, England, in July 1881. He grew up in a legendary wizarding family, the Dumbledore family.

But unlike Malfoy and other pure-blood wizards, his life did not start with excellence. On the contrary, Dumbledore's family had many tragedies. His father Percival and mother Kandra were both wizards.He has an eccentric brother Aberforth, and a sister Ariana who is in poor health.

In 1892, when six-year-old Ariana accidentally performed magic in front of three ordinary boys, she was abused and uncontrolled magic invaded her brain.Therefore, the parasite was derived - the dark magical power Obscurus.

Ariana became an Obscurial at the age of six.

Her father, Percival, killed those boys in order to avenge his daughter, was sentenced to prison, and eventually died in Azkaban.

Afterwards, the Dumbledore family moved to Godric's Hollow and severed all ties with their old friends.

The Dumbledore brothers had to use their mother's lies to cover up their sister, because if Ariana's condition was discovered, she would be locked up in St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry for life.

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.

The young Dumbledore seemed to lack concern for his family. Every summer vacation, he would lock himself in the attic, count his awards, and correspond with the most famous magic masters in the world.

In 1892, Albus Dumbledore entered Hogwarts-Gryffindor College to study. He showed his excellence while studying in the college.Especially in the art of transfiguration and defense against dark arts, he has shown extremely high talents.

'When Dumbledore took the Newt exam, I personally tested his Transfiguration and Charms... The tricks he used his wand to conjure were something I had never seen before - Newt examiner Ms. Marchbane. '

-

In 1899, after successfully graduating, Dumbledore planned to travel around the world, but suddenly news came that his mother Kandra had died due to the magical riot of his sister Ariana. This accident forced him to give up his plan to travel around the world, and he returned to Godry. After simply holding a funeral for his mother in Kegu Valley's home, he began to take on the responsibility of taking care of his younger sister.

It's hard to believe that a young man with extraordinary talent might be imprisoned in that valley for the rest of his life. What would he think?

But things took a turn for the better in this inadvertent place.

In the same year, the young dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald came to Godric's Hollow, England, to look for his great-aunt, the famous wizard historian Bathilda Bagshot.

As fate would have it, the two talented teenagers met like this.

-

They were "together like fire and pot" - Bathilda Bagshot.

-

Two months of emotional confusion, a century of indescribable feelings.

In the summer of 1899, the roses in Godric's Hollow only bloomed for two months.

The love and hate of young people turned into regrets spreading throughout the valley in a blink of an eye.

However, even if the rose has a different name, it still has the same fragrance.

The brilliant petals finally covered the whole of Europe, and darkness ushered in the earth!

-

No matter how long the night is, day will always come.

-

In the ups and downs of fate, it is easy to see a person's integrity, and it is never too late to correct mistakes.Awakening is like a phoenix bathing in fire.Dumbledore returns.

-

He is his most distant lover and his most enduring enemy.

After seven years of war and a traditional wizard duel, everything has settled.

One is forever imprisoned in his own prison, and the other is forever imprisoned in his own "cage".

They all lost.

The only person in the world who can understand each other, it is really impossible to meet each other again from now on, and there will be no more news about him in the newspapers.

And since Grindelwald was imprisoned in the Nurmengard prison he built himself, he and his former lover have never seen each other again.

It seemed that everything was over, but from now on, life like this would be worse than death for the two of them.

Dumbledore~

Who else will love you besides me?

-

By the time Hermione turned the last page, it was already a week later.

She read it very carefully, almost word for word. Different from the feeling given by the previous "Correspondence Collection", the biggest feeling given by the end of this book is melancholy!

Endless melancholy at a glance!

Anthony used a huge amount of pen and ink to focus on describing Grindelwald's plan for power. The immersive feeling and Dumbledore's counterattack made people's blood swell.

The collision between the two greatest wizards in the world is the most brilliant part of this book.Of course, the ending is also disappointing. The old Dumbledore holds regrets. He is not sure whether Grindelwald really loves him, and Grindelwald also dies in guilt and pleading to Dumbledore.

That sentence: Don't leave me here.It directly brought tears to her eyes.

Plus a final reply and the letter was returned.Recipient: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, deceased.

Condolences.Department of Owl Management, Ministry of Magic.

The story ends abruptly, leaving a bitter taste in the mouth.The emotion that was pouring out was suddenly blocked, and the sadness in the belly had nowhere to vent. It was simply a kind of torture.

It took her several days to find Anthony again.

The first words he spoke: "I have never seen such a cruel person, Anthony, you are so hateful!"

"What's wrong?" Anthony, who was in the auditorium, reading about a disgraced thief in the Daily Prophet, slowly put down the newspaper in his hand, raised his head and said with innocent eyes.

"Can't you write a good ending? Why do you want a tragic ending?" Seeing his expression, Hermione became even more angry and slammed the book in her hand onto the newspaper in front of Anthony.shouted angrily.

"The greatest art of mankind must be the art of tragedy."

"Who said that? What does this mean?" Hermione frowned angrily and said dissatisfiedly.

"Aristotle!"

"Ya——" The little witch was speechless for a while, and then she reacted after a moment and said: "I don't care, this is the suggestion made by me, Ginny, and a few girls."

As she spoke, she thrust a piece of parchment into his hand.

"The ending must be changed!"

"Let me take a look first." Anthony did not refuse but opened the parchment in his hand as if to change the subject.Um!They are all minor suggestions for changes, and most of them call for changing the ending, hum!Change the ending?That is impossible!

It seems that if I refine it further, I can publish it.

Speaking of publishing...

Anthony had a headache. Originally, he planned to find a Muggle publishing company, but considering the impact of spells on books, he decided to find a magical publishing company.

Don't underestimate these magic publishing companies. Every book they produce is cast with various protection spells, such as being invulnerable to water and fire, unable to be copied, etc.Otherwise, who would buy a new book if the wizard could just copy it?

Looking at the British wizarding world, there are quite a lot of publishing houses.

For example: Bathilda Bagshot's "A History of Magic" was published by a company called 'Little Red Books' (littleredbooks).

Newt's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is published by Obscurus Books.

The book Ron bought, The Wonder of Quidditch, was published by whizzhardbooks.

Then there were three or four publishing houses.

Considering that my book is a biography, it is actually more suitable for the Daily Prophet Press to be backed by the largest newspaper in the UK. It can not only increase the number of users, but also increase the authority. Written by Rita Skeeter "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore" was published by this company.

However, Anthony would definitely not consider this company. After all, the relationship between the Daily Prophet and the Ministry of Magic is too ambiguous. It is said that its subordinate agencies are almost the same.

And he's almost on the Ministry of Magic's blacklist, and you can guess with your toes that they will make things difficult for you if he publishes it.

In this case, the most suitable company is Lumihart Books, which published Gilderoy Lockhart's two best-selling books, "A Year with the Snowman" and "Walking with Trolls."

As he spoke, Anthony suddenly raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his eyes fell on the newspaper in front of him. The photo half covered by Hermione's book was the photo of Lockhart imprisoned.

In the photo, he was restrained by several Aurors, various flashlights lit up his face, and he had panic written all over his face.

Hoho!It seems that Rumihat Books has definitely been having a tough time lately!

After getting rid of Hermione, Anthony actually held a brief book party in the Gryffindor common room that afternoon.Many little wizards were sincerely invited, including Harry, Ron, the Weasley twins, Percy, Seamus, Neville, and the newly returned Sirius, etc.

He made a few copies of the revised manuscript and gave it to them.

Hearing this, everyone was in high spirits, especially Sirius, who had just returned. Although he didn't say a word about where he had gone, there were no wounds on his body, and his spirit was normal. Instead, he felt radiant, so Harry didn't ask in detail.

In fact, the small party held in the lounge was to give Sirius a clean slate, and Anthony's manuscript was just a matter of convenience.

Everyone has been suffering from Snape for a long time, and now it is finally clearing up after the snow, and we can see the sun.

The Weasley twins were so excited that they specially brought out the fireworks they invented. The lively sounds in the entire lounge lasted until ten o'clock. Finally, at Sirius's request, everyone reluctantly left. , after all, there is still class tomorrow, and he also has to prepare for the next class!

There's no time to play around with little wizards.

Taking this opportunity, Anthony quickly distributed the manuscript.Even though everyone was so relieved, they didn't refuse, and Sirius even encouraged him.

He believes that such a young child can actually write a book. Regardless of the quality of the work, this spirit of daring to try can only be affirmed.

Anthony just smiled and said nothing.

Next, everyone dispersed.

He also returned to his dormitory and began writing letters to Robert Miller, his editor at Rumihart Books.

In fact, it was nothing. He didn't know the other person, so he didn't have many polite words to say. He just asked the other person to read his new book or something like that.As for whether the other party would care about his letter, Anthony had no doubt that he would definitely read it.

Rumihart Book Company has just had such a big scandal. It is not only Lockhart who is unlucky, but also the entire publishing company. They have to compensate the original author for related expenses.The wizarding world is not the Muggle world. Every year, countless authors beg to publish their works.There are very few authors publishing books in the wizarding world, and only a few in a year.

For example, established publishing houses can get a piece of the textbook publishing pie.

For example, "Advanced Potion-Making" (the book of Half-Blood Prince) written by Liba Xiu Pollachi of Merge Books and "Standard Spells" written by Miranda Gorshak are both from This company.Holding a textbook is like holding a money tree, with a fixed income coming in every year.

But Rumihat Book Company is different. Although it has been established for a long time, the only piece of cake it shares is the Hogwarts divination course textbook "Looking Through the Fog and Seeing the Future," which is an elective course.This basically doesn't make much money, and you can't sell more than a dozen copies a year.

That's why they try to publish novels, adventure stories and other books to increase their income.

Originally, they had made a fortune over the years, and Lockhart's works were very popular, but the publishing house tied him accordingly. Now that this liar and thief has been exposed, Rumihart Book Company But that's bad luck.

Bankruptcy is considered a good thing, but if you are afraid of being insolvent, several directors will directly turn from upper class people to beggars on the roadside!

Moreover, the reputation of the publishing house was directly ruined by Lockhart, and no author would ask them to publish again in the future. The magical world is only so big!Reputation is very important to wizards.

Based on the above reasons, Anthony really couldn't figure out how Robert Mueller could refuse.Even if he doesn't like his work, he will reply politely and express his welcome to contribute again next time.

Of course, Anthony doesn't believe this. No one can refuse to dig into Dumbledore's past.

In the Muggle world, this would be like someone publishing a book on the Queen's private life. For such a gimmick, Charles would have to buy a copy.

So Anthony believed that Robert Miller would reply to him soon.

After writing the letter, he was not in a hurry to send it out. After all, it was already midnight, and his owl Humphrey also needed to rest. He was not a capitalist who sucked human blood.

Take a shower, turn off the lights and get ready for bed!

10 minutes later...

"Hey!!! Aren't you going to sleep?" Anthony, who was blinded by the light, stretched his neck and looked at the beds of Harry, Ron, Neville and Seamus.

The lights are brightly lit, and if he can fall asleep, there will be ghosts.

"Wait! Wait until I finish reading this paragraph." Harry said this, but unfortunately his eyes did not leave the manuscript in his hand for a second.

"If you were looking at me when you spoke, maybe I would believe it!" Anthony complained. Although he got up and pulled up the curtains beside his bed, he couldn't see a trace of light. Only then did he end up, safe and sound. Go to sleep.
