Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 145 Cedric's Interview

Cedric sat obediently on the sofa, and he didn't do that kind of peeking behavior, so he didn't know what Luna was writing.

What he didn't know was how to communicate with Luna. Judging from the way Luna was writing, she worked harder than Granger. Cedric even regretted that he didn't bring his notes. Answer the professor's questions or something.

【Mom, that boy suddenly looks very regretful. Is there really nothing wrong with him? 】

[It's okay, my dear, boys of this age are always full of weird ideas in their minds, your father was the same way back then, he was thinking about finding Ravenclaw's crown all day long, does he still think so now ? 】

[No, Mom, he made one himself. 】

At this time, Al sat on the flying carpet and flew in front of the two of them.

"ah?"

After getting along for so long, Cedric could roughly guess what Mr. Al wanted to say.

"Lemonade will be fine, sir," he said.

Luna also raised her head, and looked at Al with a weird face.

Then she lowered her head again and wrote in her notebook: "Mom, what would you like to drink?"

[Oh, my lovely little girl, mom is just a notebook now, and can't drink anything—but you can have a taste, black devil wine, can you?I have never drank it. 】

Luna raised her head again, she said politely: "Two glasses of black devil wine, thank you."

Al looked at the black notebook, then at Luna, it snapped its paws, and a glass of lemonade, a glass of black devil wine, and um, a glass of hot milk appeared on the table.

Cedric picked up the lemonade, watched Luna quietly while drinking it, and found that she was about to pour the cup of hot milk into the notebook, but Al stopped it in time.

Al pinched his waist with one hand, pointed at the hot milk with the other, and pointed at Luna herself, shouting angrily: "Ah!"

"Mr. Eyre should be reminding you that this cup of hot milk is for you." Cedric reminded aloud: "As for this cup of strong liquor—eh?"

Cedric watched as Luna put the hot milk back on the table, picked up the black devil wine and poured it on the notebook, all of which was absorbed by the notebook without a drop flowing out.

So what's wrong?
Is it a notebook that can drink?

Or was it the fact that the little girl had originally intended to drink that glass of spirits?

Just when Cedric was getting confused, Toby finally came over. He seemed to come to discuss matters with Mr. Al. He took out a few pieces of parchment and held it in front of Al, asking, "Take a good look at the selection. If none of them work, I’ll think about it—oh, you can also take a look.”

Cedric looked curiously and found that a pattern was drawn on each piece of parchment.

The first picture shows Mr. Al holding a small shovel in his right hand and a magic ball in his left, sitting on a throne made of black skulls.

The second picture shows Mr. Al holding a small shovel in his right hand and a black skull in his left hand.

In the third picture, there is no shovel left, only Mr. Al and the skull are left, and the skull is high above, as if looking down on everyone.

Luna looked away after only one glance, and began to write and draw in the notebook again.

Cedric asked hesitantly, "Professor, may I ask what this is?"

"The cover of the newspaper." Toby smiled: "It will also be the new logo of "The Quibbler". Oh, yes, I haven't told you yet, I bought "The Quibbler". The property of Miss Good's family, that is, the girl sitting next to you, Luna Lovegood."

Cedric finally knew the name of the other party, but before he recovered from the shock of Professor Haimer's transformation into a newspaper owner, he screamed involuntarily: "Cover?! Are you sure you want to use this pattern for For the cover? I mean, Mr. Al would be a good fit, but the skull is—"

Cedric suddenly felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet. He saw Professor Haimer's face downcast visible to the naked eye, and the long hair that was originally pulled back was drooping in front of his eyes, and his eyes were fixed on Cedric.

"Is there anything wrong with skulls, Mr Diggory?"

Cedric struggled for a while, and he finally said truthfully: "It looks very evil, professor, the skull is a symbol of evil in magic, and you can't just because you are a black devil—I didn't mean that, uh."

Al snickered quietly, looking smug.

Toby glared at Al and said, "That's no use for the Nifflers. Few wizards understand what evil creatures they really are."

Al turned around angrily, and yelled at Toby.

Just when Cedric didn't know what to do, Luna suddenly raised the notebook with both hands, unfolded it and showed it to Toby.

Cedric looked over subconsciously, and found that it was a sketch with a back figure drawn on it, but even so, he could tell that this person was Professor Haimer, and even his hair was as thick as it was pulled back.On his shoulders, there is a frontal portrait of Mr. Al, sitting on his shoulders.

Al stared at the portrait for a while, then looked up at Toby, a little undecided.

"There is no skull," Toby murmured, "Forget it, just use this one."

Cedric faintly felt that Luna seemed to have successfully used this portrait to transform Professor Highmore from a black devil into a professor of ancient magic at Hogwarts. He really hoped that this was just an illusion.

Toby shifted his gaze to Cedric.

"Mr. Diggory," he said, "it's time to get down to business. You're here today for an interview."

"Oh?" Cedric blinked suspiciously.

"The reporter is Miss Lovegood next to you."

"what?"

"Don't worry, her father was originally the editor-in-chief of "The Quibbler", so there shouldn't be any problems. I mainly interview you about the process of making the automatic casting wand. Remember to emphasize the role of ancient magic—not just the magic circle, but ancient magic. .”

Cedric didn't know where to find fault. This so-called interview was so random that it simply exceeded his imagination.

At the same time, Cedric saw Professor Haimer walk back to the previous "wall", pick up the magic ball, and gradually engrave the portrait that Luna showed on the wall.

"Are you planning to sell such a big magazine?" Cedric dared not answer, "Even if it is sold to giants, giants can't understand it."

"You mean this?"

Toby turned around, and the magic ball continued to engrave the logo pattern of the new version of "The Quibbler" - Toby with his back facing away, and Al on his shoulders facing forward.

"This is specially provided for Hogwarts. It is specially used to be placed in the common room of each college, and it is free for students to read. It can also replace the role of the bulletin board."

"But it's so heavy. The students can't open it."

"It's right to sink. It would be even better if you can sink until the headmaster can't move it."

"what?!"

Cedric found himself seeming to know something serious.

He turned his head, hoping to see the same shock on Luna's face, or to help persuade Professor Highmore.

But Luna had already picked up the notebook solemnly, and asked him calmly, "Mr. Cedric Diggory?"

"It was me, I said, did you hear what the professor was saying—"

"Are you a vampire?"

"What?! I'm not a vampire, and I don't have vampire blood—"

"Then have you ever thought about being a vampire?"

".what?"
