HP: I just wanted to drop out of school, but I saved the world
Chapter 150: Counterattack Horn
However, it was not the students and professors of Hogwarts who first sounded the clarion call for a counterattack, but Sirius Black.
Perhaps because the love-hate drama really helps to boost sales, the Daily Prophet devoted almost an entire page to his verbal attack on the criminal Peter Pettigrew.
Editor-in-chief Barnabas Guffey even changed the name of the column to "The Breakup of Former Friends - The Blood and Tears of Sirius and Pettigrew."
It has to be said that Sirius Gryffindor's heroic spirit was fully demonstrated in the war of words.
This made the majority of wizards very happy.
The secrets of the Black family, the friendship and betrayal between Pettigrew and the Marauder, the love and hatred between Gryffindor and Slytherin... these made them linger.
But while enjoying the show, they also became more and more curious about what kind of magical device the game console that Sirius mentioned that could heal Dementor damage was.
Their doubts were soon answered.
A seventh-year Hogwarts student named Gemma Farley published her article in the Daily Prophet.
[To cast the Patronus spell, you only need this item]
The article points out that game consoles, as the greatest invention in a century, can bring people incomparable enjoyment.
It is not the black magic as rumored, but a prop that helps wizards evoke pleasant emotions and memories, and assists in the training of the Patronus spell.
The rising stars of Hogwarts are eager to learn and have already purchased game consoles to improve their spell-casting skills.
Statistics show that after using game consoles, the success rate of casting the Patronus Charm among students has greatly increased.
At the same time, Gemma appealed, hoping that Hogwarts could offer elective courses on the Patronus Charm as soon as possible, and use game consoles to assist classroom teaching.
Her mentor Slughorn highly agreed and called on the community to donate funds to Hogwarts for the purchase of game consoles.
As soon as the report came out, it immediately attracted the great attention of wizards.
"The Patronus Charm is a difficult spell. How can a tool increase its success rate?"
"Gemma Farley... I've heard a little bit about the Farley family, but she's just a student. Can you really trust her?"
The wizards were skeptical, after all, the writer was not very famous.
"But her tutor is Slughorn, who used to be my Potions professor!"
Slughorn, who has many students all over the world, is well-known among middle-aged wizards in Britain, which has dispelled the doubts of many wizard parents.
"I guess the game console is not a dark magic prop. You know, dark wizards can't cast the Patronus Charm!"
"Since Dumbledore and Slughorn have both vouched for this, it should have nothing to do with the Dark Magic curse."
This article did alleviate a lot of their fears about their children being exposed to the dark arts in school.
In the following days, The Daily Prophet frequently published contributions from Hogwarts teachers and students.
These popular science articles are designed to help wizards understand what a game console is, with the main goal of being simple and easy to understand.
One of the articles, "An invention ahead of its time: On the multiple benefits of video game consoles," was even signed by thirty or forty students and professors, and listed hundreds of benefits of playing video game consoles.
The article portrays the game console as a panacea that can cure serious illnesses; as long as you own this artifact, you can become the most powerful wizard.
Rather than clearing Jian Yu's name, this looks more like an overwhelming amount of whitewashing and promotional articles for gaming consoles.
"Where can I buy this magic item for game consoles? What are the prices for different models?"
“Can it be mass-produced? When will it be launched? Where is the store?”
Curious wizards have already written to newspapers, asking for various information about the game console.
A few days later, Penelope Clearwater and Professor Flitwick jointly published an article titled "On the Dual Role of Game Consoles in Enhancing and Controlling Magic Power," which directly caused a hot search explosion and the newspaper was sold out for five consecutive times.
The paper points out that because the game console has a special operating mechanism that requires users to continuously and stably output magic power, it is of great benefit to magic power improvement and magic power control.
The researchers selected students from grades one to seven who had never touched a game console and conducted a two-week experiment, and set up an experimental group and a control group.
Preliminary data shows that the younger the age of people who use game consoles, the more obvious the effects of increasing and stabilizing magic power are;
As the average daily usage time increases, the magic growth benefits will also increase.
Perhaps not every wizard is interested in having fun and practicing the Patronus Charm -
But no wizard would ignore the improvement of magic power that affects his own interests.
The popularity of the game console has completely overshadowed Rita Skeeter's report.
"If the conclusions of this article are proven to be true, it will be like a revolution in the wizarding world!"
In the Leaky Cauldron, a witch banged on the bar excitedly, spilling the beer in front of her.
But where there are supporters, there are also those who question and oppose. Another short and fat wizard frowned:
"So the truth is to continuously and steadily output magic power. This item is not necessarily necessary."
He was immediately refuted by his supporters:
"But casting spells at a large open space all the time is boring and uninteresting. People will just think you're a fool."
"The game console can bring me happiness and exercise my magic power. If it can be sold, I will definitely buy one!"
Letters seeking to buy the product flew into the Daily Prophet's office and the headmaster's office at Hogwarts like snowflakes.
Now the voices questioning Jian Yu and the game console were almost inaudible, replaced by praise and amazement from parents:
"Such a great invention must protect its creator!"
"I will drink a glass of wine to punish myself for my recklessness and credulity. Headmaster Dumbledore must not expel Miss Jane!"
"Hogwarts is blessed to have such a talented student!"
The professors and students were very satisfied with this.
Professor Flitwick and Professor Slughorn shook hands happily and took off their hats to greet each other. Gemma and Penelope hugged each other tightly to celebrate the temporary victory in the battle to defend Jane Jade.
They spoke highly of each other's manuscripts and praised each other for their constructive role in the incident.
"Everything is for fairness and justice. Protect our Hogwarts students!"
Club members are gathering together to celebrate their achievements.
"This time Yu won't be fired!"
“And the gaming consoles are proving beneficial!”
"Thank you Professor Slughorn for helping us contact the Daily Prophet!"
Although the purpose of clearing Jian Yu's name has been achieved -
But the club members didn't stop there, after all, the annoying Rita Skeeter had not paid the price for her slander.
They decided not to waste Luna's resources and opened up a second front on The Quibbler.
And intends to defeat magic with magic.
Defeat nonsense with nonsense.
