MTL - The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts-v4 Chapter 162 Forward and reverse

"Bedtime news? That name doesn't sound like a newspaper." Harry was a little confused.

In his impression, the name of the newspaper should be "xx people, "xx newspaper, bedtime news, it doesn't sound like it has anything to do with the newspaper.

"It's not like the newspaper." Tom nodded with a smile. He looked at the people in the room and sent out a soul torture: "When will you read the newspaper?"

Krum scratched his head: "Before and after Quidditch games, right? I like to read the reports of the team in the newspapers, the analysis and the comments after the game."

Harry was a little embarrassed, because he didn't read the newspapers much, and only occasionally watched the breaking news with his friends.

Unlike the boys, Hermione and Luna read the newspapers at breakfast, when the Daily Prophet delivered them, and at a more leisurely time of day.

"So," Tom waved his hand, "even if it's the school newspaper, you're unlikely to read it, right?"

The four people in front of Tom bowed their heads embarrassedly - they thought about it and realized that they really didn't know how to read the Hogwarts school newspaper.

This is natural. Students are used to reading the Daily Prophet to see what's going on out there, and it would be unwise to compete directly with it in the news business. It has been leading this track for a long time, and the latecomers have little chance of overtaking.

So how to do it? Switch tracks. It's like a 1,000-meter race. The Daily Prophet has already run 900 meters. At this time, Tom jumped out and shouted: Stop! I jumped farther than you! This will bring the leading opponent back to the same starting line.

"I want to start a newspaper that is not so serious, which is easier to accept. It is best for every student to read it for a while before going to bed, just like an entertainment magazine." Tom slowly expressed his thoughts.

Human energy is limited, so the total amount of information a person receives every day is also limited. Young wizards have to attend classes during the day and complete their homework at night. How can they spend a lot of time reading newspapers like the semi-retired elders? Check it out at breakfast time. As for other times, isn't wizard chess good? Isn't crackling and exploding cards fun? Why bother to read the newspapers for entertainment time?

The time for reading the newspapers for breakfast was already occupied by the Daily Prophet. Harry and their papers wanted to compete and had to find another time slot.

Before going to bed is a great time.

At Hogwarts without a mobile phone, the time before going to bed is very "empty". At most, it is to chat with roommates. Tom aims at this time period.

It's just that since it's something to watch before going to bed, it must not be very serious, and it's better to have some entertainment attributes. This is also the main theme of "Bedtime News" - relaxed and witty.

"Oh!" Everyone said in unison, thinking that what Tom said was quite reasonable.

"Okay, then our newspaper will be called "Bedtime News!" Harry agreed with Tom's idea.

After a few discussions, they decided to update the school newspaper once a week and put it in the common room of each college for students to take. As for the content of the newspaper, it consists of five sections: school announcements, school news, current affairs comments, free contributions and advertisements - yes, they decided to print some advertisements on the last page of the newspaper.

The first two sections are to fulfill the duties of the school newspaper. In these two sections, the editorial department will publish notices from schools, colleges and even teachers and staff. School professors can also post personal praise and criticism here for public execution.

Free Contribution is a section for the little wizards of Hogwarts to submit manuscripts. Tom believes that many people must have something to say before and after the Quidditch game. Involving these people will not only enrich the page, but also strengthen the sense of substitution and attract more students to watch the bedtime news. The advertising fee brought by the advertising panel will become the contributor's remuneration, further encouraging them to publish more articles.

Current Affairs Comments is where Tom leaves Harley with his private goods. For example, in order to change Hagrid's impression in everyone's mind, Harry could publish an article such as "Half-blood giants must be cruel? Where does the saying come from" or "Love big guys? Pets start with three-headed dogs". To reverse everyone's stereotypes.

After reaching a consensus, the first bedtime news began to be intensively prepared. With Luna's help, the preparation of the newspaper went smoothly, and generally nothing went wrong. What's even more surprising is that Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout also expressed their support in their own way: Professor McGonagall told Harry the next opening time of Hogsmeade Village in advance, so that his on-campus notification panel was somewhat dry goods. Professor Sprout has written a popular science article to teach students how to identify the poisonous mushroom. Professor Flitwick, who heard about this incident by chance, also wrote a short article about the magical effect of the Exorcism Charm and the experience of casting the spell.

The castle keeper Filch was even more happy when he heard the news. He wrote a long article of several thousand words ~www.novelbuddy.com~ about the terrible consequences of violating the school rules, and also gave an extremely long article. List of prohibited items, hopefully Harry can put it in his newspaper. After seeing this stinky and long submission, Harry resolutely moved Filch's submission section to the very end of the paper - and then there was the advertisement on the back cover.

As for the ads, Fred and George became the exclusive sponsors of the bedtime news, and Wesleyan's Witchcraft and Wizardry merchandise took up the entire back cover. However, these two have a small request, that is, these advertisements need to be deleted from the version for teachers.

Harry readily agreed.

Hogwarts' school newspaper, The Bedtime News, is gradually on track, and now you only need to wait until the weekend to know the reaction.

But maybe Harry had used all his luck in the preparation of the school newspaper, and his Occlumency training with Snape was terrible.

After the two-hour training session, the only thing Harry and Snape could agree on was that the other was an idiot and the class was pointless.

"You are the least talented student I have ever seen. If it wasn't for Dumbledore's order, I would never have let you step in here." Snape pointed to the door of his office and said, "You can go. I hope that next time you come over, you can make even the slightest improvement in your level - although I doubt it."

Tom's face was ashen. He felt that Snape was definitely the worst teacher, and even a troll would be more reliable than him. During these two hours, Harry's brain was repeatedly invaded by Snape's consciousness, which made him suspect that it was Snape's public revenge.

He didn't feel like he'd made any progress anyway -- that's what he and Snape seemed to agree on.
