The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 659 Reaction
Hermione was a little depressed after hearing what Ryan said, but she cheered up after a few minutes. After being exposed to so many things, she no longer sees the world in black and white. So, although she was a little surprised at first that everyone had selfish motives in this matter, she soon got relieved.

"Of course, this doesn't mean that they support us purely out of selfishness." Ryan comforted Hermione, "I believe that when facing the mysterious man and his army, they will bravely rush forward and fight to the death."

"You're right. Human nature can't be completely bright, but it's definitely not all dark." Hermione nodded seriously after listening to Ryan's words. "Anyway, our plan has finally taken a solid step. I hope that after the newspaper is published tomorrow, it will achieve the effect we expected."

"I think everything will go as smoothly as we imagined." Ryan said, stretching out his left hand and patting the two people's hands. "Don't worry, I think our readers should welcome these carefully selected news."

The next morning, Ryan and his friends ate a sandwich and headed to the Weasley Joke Shop in Hogsmeade. In the room behind the joke shop, a huge machine was spitting out newspapers at a fast speed. A wizard was waving his wand to operate the entire machine, while another wizard was sitting at the table next to it to do the final proofreading.

"Sir." After seeing Ryan and Hermione come in, the two wizards greeted Ryan and the others, but they did not stop the work in their hands.

They were two of the group of hemp-born wizards that Ryan had recruited before. Although recruiting and training so many hemp-born wizards had slightly increased the store's costs, forcing Ryan to develop a large number of high-profit products, after the outbreak of the war, with the rapid expansion of the business, these people soon came in handy.

As someone who knows the plot, Ryan had prepared for this war a long time ago. So when training these people, they were trained as organizers with a certain level, similar to the training method of the 10-man army of Weimar Germany. Therefore, even if they need to be released now to take charge, there is no problem at all.

"What's going on now?" Ryan asked. "Anything we need to solve?"

'Not yet, sir. The young wizard who was folding the printed newspapers said, "Everything is normal. According to the plan, we will print 2,000 newspapers today, 1,500 of which will be delivered to our controlled areas, and the other 500 will be delivered to the south as planned."

At this time, the witch who was proofreading beside him had also completed her task. After the young wizard finished his report, she continued to report. "We have signed a long-term cooperation agreement with the Owl Post Office in Hogsmeade. We will send these things to the post office after printing."

With the help of the machine, two thousand newspapers were printed quickly. Afterwards, Ryan and his two staff members delivered all these things to the owl post office in the town, and finally watched the owls take off with the newspapers.

When Ryan and his friends returned to Hogwarts Castle, it was just in time for breakfast. When they passed the entrance of the auditorium, they saw owls delivering various letters to the classmates, many of which were carrying the British Magical News.

"It seems that there are many people willing to buy our newspaper!" Hermione said to Ryan after seeing this scene. "I hope they can accept and like our newspaper."

"It's definitely okay," Ryan said. "You have to trust the content we carefully selected, especially the content you selected. I think it's much better than the old-fashioned content of the Daily Prophet. At least I think our newspaper has an advantage in attracting the attention of young people, even compared with the previous normal Daily Prophet."

Their thoughts were confirmed at noon. After lunch, Ryan and his friends went to Weasley's Joke Shop to check the sales of newspapers this morning. As a result, when they walked into the office, they saw a large group of owls crowded together and occupied the entire windowsill of their office. "Did our magazine order anything by mail before?" Hermione asked in surprise after seeing this situation. Because after seeing Ryan and his friends walk in, the group of owls rushed to the front, wanting to be the first to deliver the letter to them. "Isn't it a bit too much to buy? Now the whole room is full of owls."

"I don't think this is something we purchased." Ryan took a letter from an owl's foot and looked at it. "This should be a letter sent to us by readers. And judging from the content of the letter, at least the first issue of the newspaper is quite effective."

After saying that, he raised the letter in his hand and read it aloud happily. "The British Magical News is the newspaper and magazine that is most relevant to my life that I have ever read. Here I found what I urgently needed. For example, when I was cooking lunch today, I tried your cooking spell, and the apple pie I made was very good—"

"They all seem to be letters of this kind." Hermione also took a letter from an owl. "Let me take a look at this letter. Ah, it says that he is very happy to learn about the magic related to the war on the last page of the newspaper. He said that as a father of three children, he had always worried that he could not protect his children, but now he has the confidence to protect his wife and children in this war."

All the letters were like this, all full of praise. However, Ryan knew that this did not mean that his newspaper had surpassed the Daily Prophet, but because his newspaper did meet the needs and interests of those who read it.

Those pure-blood wizards whose interests were damaged by this newspaper either did not read it at all, or some dangerous emails sent by them would be intercepted by the inspection of Hogsmeade Town. In short, they would not be seen by Ryan and others now.

"Anyway, from the current situation it seems that our newspaper has established a firm foothold here. I think the next step is to maintain the quality of the newspaper and the current good situation." After reading all the mails and treating the large group of owls with a whole bag of owl food, Hermione said in a light tone. She seemed very satisfied with the current situation.

"You're right." Ryan nodded. "The next step is to hope that our daily newspapers can maintain this level. By the way, who will be the editor-in-chief of our newspaper?"

"Mr. Lovegood is Luna's father." Hermione explained after seeing Ryan's eyes widen. "We had no choice, because we really needed an experienced editor-in-chief, but there weren't many such people. Fortunately, the Weasley brothers finally convinced Mr. Lovegood."

"What about The Quibbler?" Ryan asked curiously. He knew how stubborn people like Xenophilius Lovegood were who published magazines out of love. It was impossible for ordinary people to convince him to give up his magazine and let others work for him.

"I don't know the details. After all, we handed it over to Penelope to handle before the exam." Hermione shook her head slightly. "But I seem to have heard from Penelope that the twins agreed to a condition from Mr. Lovegood."

After that, Hermione took out a letter from her space bag and started reading it, saying, "When I was in France, Penelope sent me a letter, saying a lot. Unfortunately, I was too busy at the time and didn't finish reading it. Oh, here it is. The twins promised Mr. Lovegood to open a column for readers' letters and special authors in the newspaper. They told Mr. Lovegood that this way more people would be able to see what he wrote."

"No matter what, it's a good thing to have professionals in charge." Ryan nodded. "I hope it will go as smoothly as today in the future."
