Chapter 9: A Small Attempt to Earn Galleons

"Legendary wizard... I think it's feasible."

"Magic Legend... You can try to submit this..."

"Fashion Wizard? It's not suitable even if it sells a lot... Why would a second-hand bookstore buy such a magazine?"

"Wizard Monthly... you can try..."

“Singing a different tune? The sales aren’t good… But judging by the content, I think it’s worth submitting, so I’ll give it a try…”

"Magic reader?... This chicken soup is really pure... You can consider going up there and drink some. I think I can..."

Inside the Leaky Cauldron, Andrew was flipping through today's spoils while choosing with his owl where it would fly. The poor worker didn't know that every time he nodded he would have to fly one more time, and was still foolishly cooing in agreement.

"I have an inspiration. Let me try the magic reader first." Andrew became interested. He spread out the parchment and started writing quickly with the feather pen in an unskilled manner. Soon, a fresh manuscript came out.

"There are still some grammatical issues, but it's almost there..."

After quickly making up a new pen name for himself, Andrew tied the letter to an owl and asked it to deliver the manuscript.

"I'll probably get a reply tomorrow when I return to the orphanage. It shouldn't be a problem to submit the manuscript."

He patted his owl's head and tied the impromptu manuscript to it - considering that writing about the surrounding magical world would easily lead to attacks, he changed it to praise the ancient magical world and reflect on the current magical world.

To his surprise, when he was about to go to bed in the evening, his owl came back with eight Sickles, and inside was a warm reply inviting him to submit an article, indicating that his article would be published in the next issue of Magic Reader, and hinting that if he was willing to write another excellent article on the education of pure-blood and Muggle wizards, then the royalties could be doubled based on the number of words.

"Forget it. I don't want to be found and cursed..."

Although he earned enough for a day's rent and food, Andrew still didn't plan to continue posting there - there really is a curse here, and if the intention is too obvious, it would be really miserable...

He even used a spell to cancel the connection between himself and the temporary pseudonym - this was a spell that facilitated the owl's location, and it was at the entry-level level, and even the content related to the submission in the magazine taught it. (Because it was too simple, there was not even a special course to teach it. After Sirius escaped, he even blocked the connection between himself and the name without a wand)
"Okay, this money is not easy to make, but at least we are off to a good start."

Andrew held up his owl and rubbed his head with the thumbs of both hands. "Next, we have to open the situation from Lockhart's legendary book."

Because it was so expensive, Andrew only published the two best-selling books in the series, and even that almost exceeded his budget.

"I always feel that I am not doing my job properly," he spread out the book, "but there is no way. If the things in Hogwarts Legacy are true, then I must try to master ancient magic. Although blood is required in the setting, there are also ways to steal. Taking a step back, ancient magic runes, transfiguration experiments, alchemy experiments, all magic experiments cannot avoid start-up funds. Do you understand, buddy?"

"Getting some Galleons is like sharpening the knife before chopping wood. Once I get the initial capital, I will get something to help sort out my memory, so that I don't have to be distracted by these things in the future, man." He tapped the owl's forehead and began to read Lockhart's story.

It's a very good story - but it's a pity that Andrew didn't have time to savor it and almost ruined it by flipping through it.

"It has a very realistic background, very good presentation, very good character design, and good grammar," he praised. "If it weren't for the novelty of the story, I wouldn't dare to imitate it."

"Levitation spell, three stages."

Gryffindor looked at the flying height of the magic stone with a blank expression and a hint of self-mockery on the corner of his lips. He held the magic wand tightly with such force that his nails pierced his palm, causing a piercing pain.

……

The way pure-blood families test wizards under the age of eleven is different from other places. They use the levitation spell to make a piece of magic-repelling stone made of special materials float up. The higher the height, the stronger the magic power, and the higher the upper limit of future growth. …

"The magic power I have worked so hard to develop has been completely devoured by this wand I chose from Ollivanders... Is it really suitable for me?"

……

"The Helbo family, thirty years west of the Thames, thirty years east of the Thames, don't despise the young and poor!"

……

"So this is the old wand from ancient legends?"

……

Ravenclaw frowned and retreated behind the crowd (Andrew thought about the crossed-out plot at the time... As I said, it is better not to write about something that is not a glorious image. And a group portrait is not as good as a single main character.)
A week after Andrew returned to the orphanage, such manuscripts were placed on the desks of the editors-in-chief of magazines selected by Andrew.

Although it is only the first draft of the front part, some classic scenes and inappropriate characters have been deleted, and a series of settings such as the elder wand, ancient potion formulas, ancient spells, etc. have been introduced, and a large number of chapters have been deleted and modified to shorten the length, resulting in deviations in the work, but considering the issues of the times, it is still tempting enough.

So Andrew got a reply quickly.

The only rejection came from the naysayer - it said that the manuscript was too serious, and if it was willing to join the goblin rebellion and integrate the army and other reasonable speculations, it could be used as a good manuscript...

The rest of the offers had different price tags. After careful selection, Andrew chose Magic Legend - the other party claimed that only the editor was needed to do some polishing, and promised not to reveal the author's name, and the fee was the second highest.

If there is any flaw, it is that the other party has to bear the title of second author - this is a necessary condition for partial modification rights and concealing the author.

The price was quite reasonable, and Andrew agreed to sign the contract after a little thought.

-

"Okay, done!"

“Although the writing style and market research are a bit lacking, the story is legendary enough!”

"Editor-in-Chief, are we really going to do that?"

"Why not? We have authorization to interview you—and our changes are harmless compared to that idiot Rita."

"That's right, it's okay for Rita to say that, we even did an interview with her."

In the editorial department of Magic Legend, something Andrew didn't expect happened - because of the existence of a person who broke the bottom line in the industry, his editor, for the sake of the rationality of the story and the sales of the magazine, made a big move and began to make subversive changes to the story.

"Gryffindor's story is too far away and has no selling points. How can it be compared with Lockhart?"

"If the protagonist is changed to Dumbledore, then it can be said that our interview transcript was legally adapted!!!"

"The name of the story is, Dumbledore, a Legend!"
