MTL - The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts-v4 Chapter 157 School Newspaper with Malfoy Requests
Harry followed Tom's gaze and saw a schoolgirl who looked a little weird. It wasn't because she had messy, waist-length dirty blond hair that she was weird, but because there was a palpable madness in her temperament. For some reason, she put her wand behind her ear and wore very odd jewelry: a necklace of butterbeer corks and a bizarre earring that looked like two orange radishes.
Even in the wizarding world, this is a very different kind of clothing. But considering the "art world people" he met in London, Luna's outfit seemed understandable. If you don't make fancy clothes for those who engage in art, is that still called engaging in art?
Harry hadn't seen The Quibbler, so he found a reasonable explanation for Luna's outfit.
It doesn't matter if art is not art, what matters is that she knows how to run a newspaper. At this time, Harry was full of energy and could not wait to print the Hogwarts school newspaper the next day.
Luna sensed the gaze and turned her head to see Tom and Harry looking at her. So she smiled back at them, and Harry waved back.
"It looks like the two of you should get along very well." Tom patted Harry on the shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.
"Yeah." Harry nodded with satisfaction, he was looking forward more and more to the newspaper he was about to start.
After lunch, while the students were leaving, Harry hurried to Luna's side, and then he realized that it would be too embarrassing for him to rush forward to chat up like this?
But it was too late, Luna heard his footsteps, she stopped and stared curiously at Harry's face.
"What's the matter?" Luna's voice was a little erratic, like raving in a dream.
"Uh..." At this point, Harry couldn't care less, he could only bite the bullet and ask: "I heard that your family runs magazines, so do you know how to run a newspaper? ?"
"Of course." Luna only talks to people on topics she is interested in, and The Quibbler, founded by her father, is one of the topics she is interested in.
"I often help my dad organize documents at home, and sometimes help him print..." Speaking of these specific operations, Luna's tone was a lot firmer, and it felt like she had woken up from a dream.
Hearing Luna say this, Harry was overjoyed: "Listen to me, I want to start a newspaper - Hogwarts' school newspaper, you see, we don't have our own newspaper, do we?"
Judging from Luna's expression, she was more interested in the topic at hand.
At this time, an uninvited guest joined the discussion between the two.
"What are you talking about?"
Harry turned his head to look, a large hooked nose and two thick black eyebrows appeared in his sight. Harry was stunned: why was Krum running up to talk to them? He doesn't know him well!
Then something even more surprising happened: Luna took over and chatted with Krum.
"Great idea." Krum complimented Harry's idea: "Durmstrong doesn't have a school newspaper either...if you get it right here, we can do one too."
Luna smiled happily: "The key is to find a suitable writer and a place to print—"
Harry, who was still a little nervous just now, suddenly felt confident. He felt confident that he could persuade Dumbledore to make a small room for him as a printing room for the school newspaper. Contributors were a problem though, and Harry didn't think he was good at writing.
The somewhat strange combination of Harry, Luna, and Krum left the auditorium while chatting together, not caring about the strange looks from others.
...
"Yordle, please wait!"
Tom was walking up the stairs when he heard his name being called. He turned around and found that the person who stopped him this time was very special and unexpected.
It was Malfoy who stopped Tom. Today, he threw off his two followers and stopped Tom in a place with few people.
Looking at Malfoy's haggard appearance, Tom understood his purpose after a little thought.
"Can you find a quiet place to chat?"
"Okay." Tom agreed to Malfoy's request, leading him into the nearby Magic History classroom. Now that lunch is over, no one will come here to interrupt their conversation.
Looking at Hermione who came in with them, Malfoy pursed his lips.
"Can you..."
"No." Tom interrupted Malfoy with a smile. Tom knew what he wanted to say without him having to finish it - he wanted to kick Hermione out.
"Either let her sit here, or we don't have to talk about it." The status of Malfoy and his son is not even as good as Hermione's high heels here in Tom, so Tom's attitude is self-evident.
Malfoy was silent for a moment, then showed a flexible moral line, accepting Tom's terms.
The three sat down together~www.novelbuddy.com~ and listened to Malfoy tell about his intentions.
After listening to Malfoy's statement, Tom's face was weird: "From what you said, your father really seems to have mixed up with the Death Eaters."
"We were forced - that person came to the door, and we couldn't bear to refuse." Malfoy looked aggrieved.
He didn't have a crush on Voldemort. In his view, Voldemort was one of the culprits who destroyed his happy life. Before Voldemort's resurrection, Draco Malfoy lived the life of a winner. Every day he only needs to take two younger brothers to run wild in school, with endless pocket money and unconditional support for his father and his mother who loves him. Thanks to his father, Professor Snape, the dean of Slytherin, also took good care of him.
Such days are happier than the Minister of Magic.
But after Voldemort's comeback, his quality of life fell off a cliff. His family's manor was taken and turned into the headquarters of the Death Eaters. His own father, inexplicably, became someone else's servant. Every day, he kept a low voice, lived like a house elf, and didn't even dare to speak loudly in his own home.
Draco Malfoy hated these days.
"A lot of the time, the argument doesn't care..." Tom's words made Malfoy's heart sink to the bottom.
Sure enough, he shouldn't have placed his hopes on Yodel, Malfoy thought. He had hoped that Tom could help him connect with Dumbledore, convey his plight and his thoughts of surrender, and save his father from the Ministry of Magic.
But now it looks like Yodell just wants to humiliate himself.
Then there is only one answer!
"...But it's not impossible to handle special cases."
Tom's next half sentence rekindled hope in the soon-to-be-blackened Malfoy.
