Chapter 269 Magazine Relocation

Crouch became the busiest person in the school, second only to Hermione.

He now has to teach both his own defense class and Lily's potions class at the same time. When he finally has a break from class, he has to ride his broomstick and follow the direction of the Manifestation Charm to deliver supplies to Lily.

Or rather, he only came back to class in his spare time, spending most of his time protecting Lily.

Hermione's promise was too tempting. He was afraid that if he wasn't careful, something bad might happen to this Potions Master. Even if it was just a minor scrape, if this little devil got upset and went back on her word, he would have no one to reason with.

The fact that the spy was rarely seen at school made McGonagall much more relaxed. Unlike Hermione and Dumbledore, who had the big heart to let an elite Death Eater roam around the school, she worried that she would be unable to resist drawing her wand every time she saw this former top student.

"I'm not as good as Draco in this respect; that kid is really good at controlling his thoughts."

As the Head of Slytherin, Barty Jr. often saw his students, but Draco's increasingly skilled Occlumency technique ensured that he never made a mistake in front of this spy.

Hermione was even considering rewarding him for helping to uncover such a big traitor.

After gaining the Dragon's Blessing ability, this kid devoted almost all his energy to practicing transformation. Apart from classes and training, he spent the rest of his time thinking about how to stabilize his form and how to attack and defend like a fire dragon.

He can now reliably unleash a full breath of dragonfire, but the power of ordinary dragon flames is only passable and not enough to be considered a powerful weapon.

Hermione considered whether to teach him a dragon's breath with certain properties, so that he would have a powerful offensive weapon before he could fully transform into a dragon.

But before she could figure it out, something new came knocking.

This time it was Professor Flitwick who used his canary patron to inform Hermione about the "Post-War Curses Research."

A large group of reviewers came to visit, and they are currently in the school auditorium.

This time, the old scholars came out in full force. In addition to Miranda Goshark, whom we had met before, there was also Adbay Wolfling, the father of modern magic theory, who was much older than Dumbledore.

This person is the author of "Theory of Magic," and he was already an adult and had published numerous magical papers when Dumbledore was still "the smartest student in the history of Hogwarts."

Although his actual magical power may not be very strong, theoretically, he is someone even Dumbledore had to consult.

When Hermione hurried into the Great Hall, the White Wizard and Professors McGonagall, Flitwick, and others were with the old wizards, curiously studying the pyroxene crystal clusters that had come down from outside and whispering among themselves.

"Oh, isn't this our youngest writer?" Miranda teased Hermione as she saw her.

"It's a pity that I heard you don't have any plans to publish any more papers this year. That's really regrettable."

Hermione smiled sweetly at the old woman: "I'm out of ideas, or I'll have to pad my word count to earn more royalties."

"Don't try to fool me! I just borrowed the advanced level textbook on Radiant Stone Magic. You have a lot more to learn!" she laughed.

"I think that Hymo Cannonball is really powerful. It looks simple and brutal, but it actually uses very advanced magic techniques. It's impressive that you broke it down into a multi-person joint spellcasting mode."

Among them, Adebbe Wolflin looked like a skeleton that could break at any moment, his white beard longer than Dumbledore's, and even when sitting on a stool, he seemed to sway and needed someone to hold him up.

But his eyes were bright, and he was staring intently at Hermione.

"I have too much work this year, and I really don't have the energy to write a thesis," she said with an apologetic smile.

Flitwick chimed in, "Miss Granger has endless classes every day; she is both a student and a teacher now."

Dumbledore blinked. "Of course, if any of you would like to audit Miss Granger's Brightstone Spells class, I think Hogwarts would not refuse."

Hermione looked at the white wizard, wondering what he was up to.

Adbe Wolflin coughed before slowly speaking; his voice was like a rusty iron pipe, hoarse and deep.

"Even disregarding its role in controlling radiation, the magic of pyroxene is enough to be recorded in history as a new magical theory."

"You have created a completely new school of magic, entirely different from traditional spells."

"You flatter me," she said modestly.

The old wizard fiddled with the sapphire on the table: "These past two years, I've felt I should have died, but your novel magic has rekindled my curiosity. Wizards are creatures that control life with their will, and even if it's just to see more of your new magic, I have to live for another two years."

Hermione felt a little embarrassed by being flattered like this. She didn't know what these people were doing at the school, so she turned to her own headmaster for help.

McGonagall smiled and said, "Postwar Curses Research plans to move its headquarters to Hogwarts. They believe that the academic atmosphere here will be more conducive to the journal's growth."

Hermione immediately realized that this was likely due to internal strife within Malfoy Castle, and the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense.

Even these old wizards who are obsessed with academics can't stand it anymore. It seems that this time, all the non-pure-blooded reviewers have come to Hogwarts.

"It's just a matter of a few rooms. Hogwarts is very large and there's plenty of room." Dumbledore casually changed the subject, preventing Hermione from asking further questions in front of so many people.

"We will pay rent to Hogwarts, and this place will become the pinnacle of the world's spell research field," Miranda said with considerable pride.

This magazine does indeed have such influence. Although it is not well-known among ordinary people, leaders of all communities subscribe to at least one copy to ensure that their communities do not fall too far behind the world.

In the past, Malfoy Castle was the most developed city in the world, densely populated, wealthy and prosperous. Wizards and resources from all over the world gathered there, and magazines there could gain favor with nobles and have the best resources.

But now, to enjoy those resources, one must side with the nobles, becoming embroiled in endless infighting and strife, never finding peace.

Hogwarts, far removed from all of this, is inherently a school, and as a top academic publication, it would be very fitting for it to move into this prestigious, thousand-year-old institution.

"Besides, we reviewers who are still able to move will also help Hogwarts return to the Highlands!" Madam Goshak's casual remark brought smiles to everyone's faces at Hogwarts.

These old wizards have been studying magic for decades. Even if the battle is not just a simple exchange of spells, having them stand on the castle and cast spells downwards makes them like powerful artillery turrets.

With their addition, the school will be even stronger!
