The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

231

Chapter 231 Summer vacation ends.

Of course, not all Muggle literature and art works will suit the tastes of wizards.

This incident could even provoke a barrage of criticism from pure-blood families.

but it does not matter.

Lucius is now the greatest leader of the pure-blood families; the rest are no longer a threat.

Lucius dares to challenge Dolly head-on?

So Dolly had no choice but to have Dobby recount the anecdotes and historical stories that Lucius had deliberately concealed in the new newspapers.

This was also the main reason why Dolly started her own newspaper.

Since the Ministry of Magic is unreliable, Solly should at least have her own weapon.

Public opinion is undoubtedly one of the most powerful weapons.

Because although the magical world is small, the Minister of Magic is actually elected.

If Fudge can stand firm against Voldemort, that would be fine. But if Fudge chooses to surrender to Voldemort again, or if those officials who support Voldemort are replaced, that would be a different story.

Dolly could at least put up a fight.

Of course, that's thinking too far ahead.

For Dolly, her immediate goal is still to support Luna's family business.

Luna is actually a very proud person and is unwilling to accept charity from others.

Even when Dolly and the others give Luna gifts, they have to consider whether they can persuade Luna to accept them.

While Luna herself doesn't seem to care about some aspects of her life, Dolly is heartbroken and wants to make things better for Luna.

Then the only option is to start with Luna's father, Mr. Lovegood.

Surely this man wouldn't refuse an opportunity to give his daughter a better life?

And just as Dolly had predicted, things turned out exactly as she had.

Lovegood granted Dolly's request with almost no hesitation.

This even startled Luna, who had thought that discovering these mysterious animals was her father's long-held wish.

At this point, Dolly, an outsider, saw things most clearly.

Perhaps Lovegood did want to study these mysterious animals that had not yet been discovered when he was young.

However, after Luna's father died, Lovegood had to shoulder all the family responsibilities alone, and he had long since placed ideals in a less important position.

Because now he has a more important ideal and treasure, which is Luna herself.

Luna is just too young to understand these things.

A few days later, Lovegood personally visited Dolly.

This allowed the Dursleys to get up close and personal with real wizards.

Unfortunately, the meeting was not very pleasant, although Lovegood did not speak rudely like Harry's father had back then, although in a sense Harry's father did not do it on purpose.

Even though Lovegood tried his best to restrain himself, he and Vernon still couldn't connect.

However, no conflict broke out among them.

It was Dolly's words that greatly changed Vernon's attitude towards Lovegood.

“Dad, this is exactly what we need to do.”

"What could be more appropriate than starting a newspaper to introduce them to the new things in the world and help them understand how the world has changed?"

Now Vernon even felt a sense of mission.

So, after many days of discussion among the three, the prototype of this newspaper gradually took shape.

First, Lovegood Studios originally released a song that contradicted the original.

Lovegood himself suggested suspending the publication, but Dolly refused.

Because Luna truly loves and believes in the existence of these magical creatures, and in the original story, after graduating, she even became a magical creature conservationist like Newt.

They also traveled around the world in search of these mysterious animals.

Of course, to her disappointment, she did not find the mysterious creatures that her father had so vividly described, which seemed like they came from a bedtime story.

But she also discovered many amazing creatures, becoming a true expert in the field of magical creature conservation.

Dolly doesn't intend to shatter Luna's dream right now, even if it leads Luna down the path of magical creature conservation.

Or rather, Dolly wouldn't stop her friends from taking any particular path in life.

Dolly would go to great lengths to support them in whatever they wanted to do.

Luna was just the first one.

The final conclusion was that we should continue to run the event while still having a dissenting voice.

Meanwhile, Lovegood Studio expanded its staff and brought in a brand-new printing line from Muggles to produce a new comprehensive newspaper.

Unlike prophets who primarily focus on news and current affairs.

Dolly founded a newspaper, which she initially planned to focus on serialized novels and literary works.

Because obtaining news and editing it into reports requires an entire system of reporters and editors.

This system is undoubtedly monopolized by the Daily Prophet. Trying to compete with them now will not only be unsuccessful, but will also incur the ire of the Ministry of Magic.

However, if the main content is literary serialization, then it's a different story.

There is no doubt that this is a weakness of the Daily Prophet, but at the same time, this will also have a large audience.

The most vivid example is Lockhart.

Although Lockhart has entered Azkaban, his ecological niche will not disappear.

Dolly could easily promote one or even more Lockharts to occupy the position of literary and artistic leader in the British wizarding world.

Novels, music, poetry, essays, and even highly specialized fields like magic research—in short, it's all about creating a persona and building a fan base.

Lockhart's success is due to this very method of operation.

This way of operating is quite fashionable, not only in the wizarding world but also in the Muggle world.

Therefore, there is no reason why Dolly wouldn't succeed.

The only problem is where to find so many professionals, and how to bring Muggle-world literary and artistic works into the magical world without violating the Wizarding Secrecy Act.

The previous question wasn't actually complicated; all you need is money.

At worst, Dolly can recruit talent from the United States and Europe. With the Dolly family's current financial resources, supporting a team of dozens of people shouldn't be a problem.

Moreover, if they can truly establish an image like Lockhart's, this process might not necessarily lose money.

Although Dolly didn't expect it to make money.

The latter, however, is somewhat troublesome.

While the Wizarding Secrets Act theoretically prevents Muggles from seeing magic, it does not prohibit wizards from learning and understanding Muggle knowledge.

There are even special Muggle awareness classes at Hogwarts, so that wizards are not completely ignorant of Muggles.

Although the textbook for this course has not been updated for decades.

However, this approach ultimately clashes with the idea of ​​complete isolation between wizards and Muggles, and Dolly worries that it will attract resistance.

Finally, Dolly wrote a letter to Dumbledore.

If anyone could explain this more accurately, it would be Dumbledore, the Grand Master of the International Federation of Wizards.

Dolly asked Dumbledore for his opinion and shared her observations from her time in France.

Of course, that's all nonsense.

Although Dumbledore may look like a rustic old man, in his youth he was a world-traveling, well-dressed, and quintessential English gentleman.

Although he is gay.

Because Dumbledore knew best that the magical world of the past wasn't so backward and outdated.

He also understands very well why these things happened.

Especially in modern Britain, the level of backwardness far exceeds that of France and Britain.

This is clearly not a normal situation.

Therefore, to Dolly's surprise, Dumbledore gave her an affirmative answer.

He said he would have the professors from Hogwarts who were in charge of Muggle-related courses serve as advisors to Dolly's New News.

In other words, Hogwarts' reputation guarantees that the content produced by Dolly's Newspaper will be known to wizards.

This was an unexpected and straightforward act of help, but it was also a constraint.

This will make it difficult for Dolly to introduce outrageous content in the future, since the reputation of newspapers and Hogwarts is now tied together.

This was clearly also Dumbledore's own consideration.

Dolly agreed without much hesitation.

She knew Dumbledore's worries: that Dolly would turn the wizarding world upside down.

Kodory didn't have that idea. What she wanted to do was increase her own problem-solving abilities, instead of just relying on the Hogwarts professors.

Although the professors were reliable, Dumbledore's focus was not on Dolly, and although Snape would help Dolly, he was ultimately destined to be a spy.

Dolly was left to fend for herself.

Thus, the plans and direction for the new newspaper were determined.

The rest involves recruiting talent, importing equipment, and designing the inaugural issue.

These tasks are obviously very complex, and even if Dolly were to prepare them herself, it wouldn't be something she could do in a short time, especially now that she can't leave.

However, Dolly has enough Galleons and now has quite a few friends.

Dolly wrote to Fleur, asking her to help recruit talent in France.
