124 Book Storm

About a week after returning to London, on a clear morning, Hugo and Hermione received a yellow parchment envelope on the breakfast table, with Hugo's address and name written in green ink. In addition, there were fire-painted prints with the Hogwarts school badge.

After seeing the contents of the envelope of the letter, Hugo and Hermione quickly finished their breakfast with three and two. Then they said hello to their parents and then ran to the study with the letter, then took a knife and opened the envelope of the letter.

This letter is not much different from the letters Hogwarts sent to students in previous years. However, the list of books that need to be purchased this year is obviously half thicker than last year. When Hugo saw this list, he thought that Hogwarts asked to buy all the books for several years at once.

But after carefully looking at the content on the list, Hugo found that most of the professors' new books were not much different from previous years. Only Lockhart, who went to Hogwarts this year as a professor of black magic defense science, opened a lot of his works, and the books he listed were more than the textbooks needed by other professors.

"That flower peacock seems to be a professor in the school this time. He has to buy textbooks. After all, the textbooks must be bought." Hugo muttered in his heart while looking at the books on the list. "Lordhart, a graduate of Ravenclaw, should not be stupid, but now he has been completely confused by fame and fortune."

There are many reasons why humans make stupid decisions, and the most common one is that they only focus on certain interests, but end up forgetting or actively ignoring various dangers. For example, the curse in the position of Professor of Black Magic Defense of Hogwarts is not a secret, but obviously Lockhart didn't take it seriously.

But then again, the benefits here are indeed great. Books in the Western world are very expensive, and books in the British wizarding world are more expensive than books outside. Lockhart requires all students in the seventh grade to buy a set of his works to make a fortune.

"Damn it, why are all this liar's books? Is this year's teacher a fan of that liar?" Because she happened to meet Lockhart's victim during her summer vacation, Hermione, who knew some truth, naturally had a very bad view of him. So after seeing the book list, she cursed in a low voice, and even used a liar to refer to Lockhart.

"In fact, these books are still good. After all, Lockhart was asking about those stories in detail. So the things recorded in the books should be true," Hugo shrugged and said. "But if I remember correctly, the price of such a set of books is not cheap."

"We are not without money - are you worried about other people?" After hearing Hugo's words, Hermione quickly realized what his twin brother wanted to say. After all, not everyone in Hogwarts' students have money. It is no trivial for their families to pay such a one-time fee.

"Yes, so Fireflies and the others thought of a way to deal with this situation, but they only need your help-" Then Hugo said that he had told Hermione about his plan, which was actually discussed with the ship girls before.

Soon, Hugo and Hermione came to Hood's store, and then discussed the books about Lockhart. According to their ideas, although Lockhart asked everyone to buy his full set of books, it was obviously impossible to teach people from different grades and classes at the same time. Therefore, these textbooks are not used by people all the time.

Therefore, Hugo, who had seen too many sharing economies in his previous life, naturally considered developing the sharing economy at this time, turning these so-called textbooks that were very likely to only be used for one year as in the original text, turning them into shared goods, reducing everyone's economic burden as much as possible, and then refreshing everyone's favor.

After all, if you want to get destiny points, you need to change the original plot as much as possible. Let’s not talk about how many destiny points you can get in this change that has never been mentioned in the original novel. Just gaining reputation after establishing a good relationship with some students is conducive to making everyone lean towards their own opinions. This point of view is enough to make Hugo take action in this regard.

After everyone briefly discussed it, they also found that it was not difficult to achieve this goal. So all the Hogwarts students and parents present were asked to contact as many classmates and parents as possible and ask them about their opinions on the full set of novels entering the textbook.

The real core task is carried out by Fireflies. As a passionate and helpful image among Gryffindor's lower-level students last year, she will be the open initiator of the action. She is responsible for writing a petition to President Dumbledore and submitting it.

In addition, they will also find ways to contact the Prophet Daily for their reputation in Diagon Alley and ask the Prophet Daily to publish some articles through investment advertisements to build momentum in society.

In just three days, a large number of letters were sent to the backyard of Hood's store by owls or postmans. Obviously, both students and parents felt that these novels were incomprehensible to enter textbooks. After all, Hogwarts professors have formed a set of rules for so many years of use of textbooks, and these novels obviously do not comply with this rule.

Not to mention that this set of novels is really expensive, which is a considerable expense for most working-class families. Therefore, from the reply letter, we can see that many parents are obviously dissatisfied with these textbooks this year. So now when some people are willing to start to find a way to solve this problem, they are naturally willing to write a letter to express their support.

Unlike ordinary people's society, wizards in the magic world are more impulsive when they are storming things. For example, after the major accident in the Quidditch World Cup in the original text, a group of adults sent roar letters to the Ministry of Magic and even the Minister of the Ministry of Magic to criticize their incompetence, so soon Hood received hundreds of letters complaining about the textbook.

So at noon on the third day, Hugo and Hermione had just completed another fighting exercise on Hood's side and started to enjoy afternoon tea. A knock on the door came from the door. Soon, Hood, who went to open the door, walked in with an old man. When he saw the old man, Hugo, who was enjoying afternoon tea in the living room, and the first time he saw the old man, Hugo and the others stood up immediately.

"Good afternoon, Principal Dumbledore." Everyone stood up and greeted the principal, with a look of surprise on their faces. Although they had thought that after they had caused such a big momentum, they should send someone to negotiate, but they did not expect it would be Dumbledore.
