The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

"Why are you wearing this?" Erwin asked, pointing to the brooch.

It's too strange that a little girl's carry-on item is actually a detection function.

"My dad gave it to me."

"Who is your father?"

"Xenophilius Lovegood, editor of The Quibbler."

Editor in Chief?It is normal for magic items with such intelligence functions. Newspaper practitioners in the wizarding world occasionally need some disgraceful means to obtain exclusive information.

"The Quibbler?" Melanie suddenly regained her spirits. "I recently wrote a novel. Can it be published in your magazine?" She asked eagerly.

The corner of Erwin's mouth twitched. The female vampire was so bored that she not only read entertainment tabloids, but even wrote them herself.

"The Quibbler" is the highest-selling publication in the British wizarding world. Yes, it is better than the official newspaper "The Daily Prophet", which shows the preference of the general public.But from Erwin's point of view, it was a combination of quirky talk and story clubs and women's magazines, which was really unrefined.

"That, I will suggest to my father, but I can't guarantee whether I can accept it." Under the eager eyes of the other party, Luna responded with some reluctance.

"Thank you then." Melanie smiled sweetly.

"Stop." Erwin said ruthlessly and even coldly: "You are not allowed to publish your works."

If this female vampire mixes some code words in the publicly published text, then it can transmit information to the outside world, which is an obvious security risk.

Melanie immediately changed her face, and now she has the look of a pitiful little animal, which will soften even the hardest heart.

But Erwin is completely unmoved, he's used to it.

Luna, who was sitting on the chair in the middle, looked at the two of them back and forth, feeling that their relationship was strange.

"Okay, Miss Luna Lovegood, please relax." Erwin pointed his wand at her again, "The Oblivion Curse is harmless in nature, as long as you don't resist, I can precisely remove only a few of these spells." Minutes of memory, but if you don't cooperate, I can't guarantee absolute safety."

"Please don't use the Oblivion Curse on me." Luna looked directly at Erwin with her blue-gray eyes, there was no fear or panic, only calm, "I will keep the secret."

"Just a verbal guarantee doesn't convince me."

"I have no friends. The other Ravenclaw students call me a crazy girl. Even if I say it, no one will believe me."

"That's not enough. The fact remains that I won't have any risk after using the Oblivion Curse on you." Erwin said playfully.

He actually meant that he could continue the conversation. If he was determined to erase the memory of the other party, he would have done it directly, just like he did to Brother Yan.

Luna seemed to understand. She glanced at Brother Yan, who was still in a coma, "I only heard someone shouting for freedom, and then you were talking about house elves. Judging from the current situation, you Should there be a big quarrel with the Malfoy family?"

She was calm throughout and didn't yell, which is rare for a 12-year-old girl.

She also seems to have a heart beyond her years.

"You can say that." Erwin didn't deny it.

"My father also hates those pure-blood families who think they are superior. He has some black information about the Malfoy family. I can let him share it with you."

Erwin seems to be a little moved, but how credible is a little girl's words?Can she really convince her father?In fact, this question can be ignored, because after Erwin knew that Luna's father was the editor-in-chief of "The Quibbler", he had the idea of ​​not erasing Luna's memory.

The reason is simple. If he wants to achieve some kind of ambition in the magical world, public opinion channels must be taken into consideration, and he must start to think of ways to start from now on. It is fine to run a newspaper by himself. The investment is very low and the return is very low, or it will definitely continue to lose money. After all, even the "Daily Prophet" is a loss-making business that the Ministry of Magic has been paying for.

Even if "The Quibbler" is only at the level of a street stall magazine, it is a fact that its sales volume exceeds that of the "Daily Prophet", and its influence cannot be ignored.

Worth dating.

He had already determined his policy in the magical society before, that is to make more friends, and there is no limit to the means of making friends.

The most effective way to gain a foothold is to form your own interest groups.

"Why are you unwilling to accept the Oblivion Curse?" Erwin asked.

"Because I don't want my soul to be affected," Luna replied without thinking, and she continued to look at Erwin. "And I don't want to forget this experience. I hate the feeling of being manipulated by others."

"But you are being manipulated by me now." Erwin pointed out bluntly.

"Yes, that's why I'm very unhappy." Luna looked serious, "If my memory is erased, then I can't accept it, not to mention that it may affect my soul."

"You actually know that there is a relationship between memory and soul?" Erwin found it quite miraculous. That's right, the extension of knowledge related to the Forgetting Curse is the direction of the Imperius Curse.

Many adult wizards don't know this.

Erwin suddenly felt that the little blond girl resembled him a little bit, of course only a little bit.

He changed the subject, "Although I have said so much, you still lack a strong guarantee in essence. I can't give you complete trust when I only know each other for a few minutes, so I'm sorry..."

"I can give you a strong guarantee."

Luna hesitated for a while, and took off the necklace on her slender neck. There was a locket on it. She was still fixed on the chair and could not move, so she reached out her hand and motioned for Erwin to take it.

The locket that still had the girl's body temperature was lifted by an invisible force and flew towards Erwin. He opened it, and there was a photo inside.

On it is a witch with a face quite similar to Luna, smiling playfully.

"Your mother?" Erwin closed the locket.

Luna nodded, "She died when I was nine years old."

Being able to be worn next to the girl's body is enough to show the importance of this locket to her, and it is indeed a strong enough guarantee.

"I'll keep it for you temporarily." Erwin didn't feel embarrassed at taking advantage of the other party's mother-daughter relationship, "You can exchange it back with something of the same value at any time, but if I find out that you have leaked the secret, Or if there are related rumors, then I can only say sorry."
