"I have no objections to publishing this book. After all, this is your work. However, I have to ask you, do you have any relevant connections?”The problem of the school's ethos was solved, and Professor McGonagall began to talk to Leon about personal matters.
After all, although she did not like young wizards reading such articles, she was still very interested in them. It was definitely a very pleasant thing to be able to hold such an interesting book to kill time in her spare time.
"Yes." Leon replied. He had thought a lot about it after he was ready to take it out. Rita Skeeter, whom he met last time, seemed to be a good tool.
Besides, she was a reporter from the Daily Prophet, and she was a practitioner in a related industry. It was quite comfortable to make use of the waste. Leon did not think that Rita had the right to refuse the help he needed.
"Oh? Looks like you know quite a lot of people.”Professor McGonagall was a little surprised to hear this unexpected answer, but she still expressed her understanding. Leon was too deep.
"However, if Professor is willing to provide a little help, I won't mind. In return, I will give you the first set of this book as a gift.”Although he could use Rita, Leon still planned to ask Professor McGonagall for help. Although he would owe her a favor, this was also a good opportunity to get closer to her.
"I don't have an afternoon, but you have a Defense Against the Dark Arts class this afternoon.”Professor McGonagall asked after a moment of thought.
If it was an ordinary young wizard, he would think that Professor McGonagall was rejecting him, but Leon was different. Professor McGonagall had already thought of the afternoon schedule, and it was obvious that she was more anxious than him.
"Do you think I need Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons? Besides, could Professor Quirrell really teach young wizards Defense Against the Dark Arts? As Vice-Headmaster, you should know better than anyone how terrible Professor Quirrell's Defense Against the Dark Arts is.”Leon didn't bother to hide his sarcasm.
"Yeah, but he's Professor Dumbledore's professor, so you'd better write a leave of absence and get Professor Snape to approve it.”Professor McGonagall didn't hesitate to agree with Leon's plan to skip class, which made Leon a little surprised.
It seemed that Professor Quirrell wasn't only unpopular among the students. In the eyes of the professors, he was just a temporary worker. Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful. A good person like him couldn't bear to see such a situation. He had to take good care of him in the future.
Leon made an appointment with Professor McGonagall to meet him after lunch. He went straight to the dean's office without even writing a request for leave. He just mentioned to Snape that he had to go out with Professor McGonagall to do something in the afternoon, and Snape nodded in agreement.
"As expected, it's better to have a good relationship with the professors.”Leon muttered in satisfaction when he saw that the leave was approved so smoothly. Then, he rushed to the auditorium for lunch and came to Professor McGonagall's office. The older cat girl was already waiting for Leon in the office.
"Let me do it." Professor McGonagall didn't take Leon out of the office. Instead, she let Leon into the room directly. He was a little confused at first, but when he saw the Floo powder on the fireplace in Professor McGonagall's office, Leon knew what Professor McGonagall meant.
" In Hogwarts, only my fireplace is connected to the Floo Network, and we can only go out, not in. So, when we come back, we need to go to Hogsmeade first. Now, stand here. Remember, you have to say the place you want to go, Diagon Alley. Be sure to enunciate clearly and correctly, or there will be errors.”
Professor McGonagall gave Leon a handful of Floo powder after giving him instructions. She took the lead and demonstrated a few things before she was swallowed by the flames in the fireplace and disappeared.
Leon shrugged and read, Diagon Alley!”
He felt a warm flame envelop him, and in the next second, he appeared in front of the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron. The Floo Network felt much more comfortable than the Shadow Shift. No wonder it was one of the main ways for wizards to travel.
"How do you feel?" Professor McGonagall asked as she stood beside Leon.
"Much more comfortable than Disapparating," Leon replied.
"Indeed." Professor McGonagall replied empathetically, then led Leon directly into Diagon Alley.
Even without the young wizards, Diagon Alley was still the most lively place in the British Magic World. As the main trading market for wizards, there were a large number of wizards wandering around almost every day.
Professor McGonagall didn't waste any time either. She led Leon to the south without stopping. Finally, the two of them came to a five-story building with a huge sign hanging on it. Mo Ran Book Company.
" This is the company that published Neet's 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.' I've worked with the person in charge of the company before. Although MT is better, and you might still be able to see the unpublished sample of the next issue of 'Transfiguration Today,' they have some prejudice against purebloods, so they might not be too friendly to you.”
Professor McGonagall introduced the book to Leon, and then led him into the company.
As soon as he entered, Leon saw a large number of wizards walking back and forth on the first floor. They had newspapers and books in their hands, and they looked very busy. However, Professor McGonagall did not care about this. She directly brought Leon to the elevator beside the main door, entered the elevator, and pressed the button to go to the third floor.
"Oh, Professor McGonagall! Why are you here?" At this moment, a man with a mustache and a tired expression walked into the elevator. Just as he was about to press the button, he saw Professor McGonagall and immediately shouted excitedly.
" Hans, long time no see." Professor McGonagall also greeted the bearded man warmly, and then said to Leon,""This was once my student, an excellent graduate of Gryffindor.”
"Oh, he's just a young Magus who seems to have just entered school. Why did you bring him to our company?”Hans also noticed Leon and asked enthusiastically,""I'm Domini Hans. What's your name, little wizard?”
"Leon Chris." Leon replied.
"Oh, good name." Hans replied politely. Leon did not think that there was anything good about this name. After all, when he first gave himself a name, Leon had combined the names of the two guys that left the deepest impression on him. These two were famous in their world.
"I brought this child here to publish his work.”Professor McGonagall answered Hans's question.
" Oh, the work of a young wizard who has just entered school, and you're even accompanying him personally. I'm suddenly interested. Professor McGonagall, let me reintroduce myself. Domini Hans, one of the chief editors of the Silent Books Company. If you want to publish Chris 'work, perhaps I can provide some help.”
