HP: Becoming a Maiden Heartthrob

79

Nalilian found it funny to see Pansy's favorability value.

Pansy had just been jealous of her relationship with Hermione.

And she was given so much favorability just because of a simple lie she told.

Narilean turned off the panel and returned to the Gryffindor common room.

Hermione didn't come back, but Narilean saw Neville in the corner and went over first.

"Would you like to read together, Neville?" Narellean asked, placing her bag on the table in front of him. "I'm waiting for Hermione too."

"All right, Narilean," Neville replied, putting away his toad.

Nalilian noticed his actions and felt warm in her heart.

She didn't like slippery little animals very much and always kept her distance from them. Even in Potions class, she was in the same group with Hermione and it was Hermione who dealt with bugs, frogs and the like.

Although Neville was always in a daze, he would put his pet away after seeing her avoid his pet a few times.

As a mother, no, friend who took care of him together with Hermione, Narilian felt very relieved to see that he had made some progress.

Especially seeing that his grades in herbal medicine class had improved, it was as if he had become a talented person.

However, if he wants to get rid of Malfoy's bullying, he still has to rely on himself.

"Lillian!"

Hermione soon came back from outside the common room, holding a newspaper and looking surprised.

"They went crazy with this story," she spread the newspaper on the table, "and you never told me!"

She felt a little aggrieved.

Nallylian picked up the newspaper and read it. It was the Daily Prophet. In the center of the newspaper was a photo of Harry holding the manuscript, and right above it was a large headline: "My Merlin! This is how the Savior plays Quidditch."

She was stunned.

Really gave it this title?

"What a strange title," Hermione said, finding it difficult to comment.

"Yes," Nalilian nodded, not mentioning that this was her suggestion, and looked at the report.

The first paragraph of the report introduced the newly published book about Quidditch, "The Advanced Practical Interpretation Guide to Quidditch", which was written by two Hogwarts students, Keston and Cedric.

The focus was on their experience of joining the Quidditch team at school and their brilliant achievements.

What follows is an interview with Harry, who wrote the introduction to the book, about his views on the book.

It was nothing more than Harry copying his own introduction.

If Harry had said, "If you read this book, you'll have the courage to stand up to that man," with a smile of shining white teeth, he would have been an unbeatable salesperson.

But Harry looked very serious in the magic photo, and with this ridiculous title... I'm sorry.

Nalilian silently apologized to him in her heart.

The report also mentioned an interview with Harry about what attracted him most to the book, and Harry responded like this:

"I think what attracted me to the book in the beginning was the illustrations. I never thought they would be so lively and creative, and I could recognize the parts of the human body at a glance."

Nalilian covered her face.

Stop praising her. If you keep praising her, she will buy a standing ticket and leave Hogwarts on the express train overnight.

"By the way, Lillian, did you draw this illustration in this book?" Hermione asked.

"That's not true," Narilla shook her head quickly. Seeing Hermione's doubtful expression, she added, "It was painted by Kerston. He is very talented in painting."

"I never realized your brother was such a good painter," said Hermione.

Yes, before she said this, Kerston, who couldn't even draw a circle, didn't know that he was good at drawing.

Nalilian thought to herself.

"I'm going to order a copy by mail as soon as possible because the publisher is actually limiting the sale," Hermione complained again.

This book is priced at 5 gold galleons and is limited to 100 copies for the initial release.

"I can show you the manuscript, Hermione," said Narellean.

"No, I want to buy one and read it. I just happened to have some money saved up, but Lillian, can you tell me what's so creative about this book?" Hermione asked expectantly.

She didn't believe that the book her brother had written and asked Harry to promote was just a summary and analysis of Quidditch information that was nothing new.

Narilla understood what she meant and said, "Kerston combines Muggle sports events with Quidditch, such as formation, diet regulation, and physical training."

Hermione's eyes lit up, "That sounds great."

To be honest, she had never thought about combining the knowledge of the Muggle world with the wizarding world.

"But it should be difficult to prove it," she quickly realized the problem.

And it’s difficult to promote.

It is difficult for the wizarding world to accept knowledge from the Muggle world, such as the current dismal Muggle Studies course.

"That's why Kerston wants to use Harry's name as a gimmick," Nalilian said helplessly.

He and Cedric were both very famous at Hogwarts, but they meant nothing in the wizarding world.

But Harry is different. His reputation of defeating Voldemort is known throughout the wizarding world.

"Na Lilian," Harry hurried in from the lounge at this time, frowning, "Can you persuade Senior Ende to stop?"

"What's wrong?" Nalilian asked quickly.

Did Kxton do anything?

"He gave me £10," Harry said.

"He told me it was a down payment for the interview and that I could send the money to my aunt's family so that I could get better treatment or have some spare money when I leave that family in the future."

The original words were to let him stand up straight and behave himself.

Nalilian was stunned for a moment, then said, "You deserve it, Harry."

Now she knew that Kston must have made a lot of money from stock trading, as he could come up with so much money in one go.

When Hermione heard Harry say this, her eyes widened in surprise and she said, "Harry, you've made a lot of money!"

That's about her parents' annual salary.

Ron, who had followed Harry, asked in confusion, "Is this pound valuable?"

He was not familiar with the currency of the Muggle world.

"The exchange rate is 5:1 with Galleons," Hermione replied immediately, "but there's a limit. Only 100 Galleons can be exchanged per year."

"That's pretty rich," Ron said enviously.

The guaranteed minimum is also 100 gold galleons per year.

"It's okay, Ron," Narilla said, "When you become famous, I'll ask you to write the introduction and pay you a lot of money."

"I wouldn't be that famous," Ron shook his head.

Nalilian smiled.

If he becomes Hermione's husband in the future, and Hermione becomes a female minister, he will make a fortune by writing a book called "A Few Things the Merry Minister and Her Little Husband Must Say".

Soon the other young Gryffindor wizards who had returned to the common room gathered around to ask Nariel and Harry about the publication of the book.

Mainly asked Harry, because Nalilian's name was not in the report, and the most she asked was about Kerston.

This report seemed to bring Kerston, who had faded out of the young wizard's sight due to his withdrawal from the Quidditch team, back into the spotlight.
