Chapter 71 Interlude in the editorial department of "The Golden Crucible"

"Editor-in-Chief, someone has sent another paper."

"The papers are temporarily stored in the database. The new issue of the magazine will be formatted soon. There is no time to read new papers."

The editor-in-chief is a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a slightly plump figure, wearing a loose robe, with some sparse hair that spirals on the top of his head like an abstract painting, with a black pipe in his mouth. Whenever he speaks,

The pipe is bit by bit, emitting wisps of smoke.

"Editor-in-Chief, I think it would be better for you to read this paper."

Looking at the paper handed over by his subordinates, the editor-in-chief frowned and hesitated for a moment. He glanced at the editor under him. The editor-in-chief brought him up with his own hands. He knew that the editor was not a random person. If he insisted on letting himself read this paper, then

There must be some reason.

Taking the paper, the editor-in-chief opened it and read it. As he looked at it, the editor-in-chief's frown slightly relaxed and he said: "The formula and process of the forgetting potion have been changed, and the preparation time of the forgetting potion has been greatly shortened. It is a pretty good paper.

, it’s a pity that the only thing that has been changed is the potion of forgetfulness. If it were a commonly used potion that was widely popular, this paper should be on the front page.”

The quality of this paper is very good. It is fully qualified to be published in "The Golden Crucible". Of course, it is only published. Its quality is not enough to make "The Golden Crucible" look at it differently. It is just one of many qualified papers in the history of "Golden Crucible".

Just one article.

"Qualified papers should be deposited in the paper database. If there is a free space in the next issue, or the next issue, it can be included as one of the articles."

"Editor-in-Chief, take a look again."

"What are you looking at? What happened to you today?"

"Look at its address and signature."

Frowning, the editor flipped the paper to the front, looked at the address and signature on it, and read it out involuntarily.

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Slytherin House, Sean Burst!?" Raising his head, the editor-in-chief looked at the young editor and asked in disbelief: "A paper written by a student at Hogwarts?

Are you in sixth grade or seventh grade? You can write a paper and send it to "The Golden Crucible" before you graduate?"

Journals in the magical world are somewhat different from journals in the ordinary world.

For example, all journals in the wizarding world have signature magic, and there are no problems such as plagiarism or competition for the first signature. "The Golden Crucible" will take the initiative to present the real name and origin of the author of the paper on it.

Therefore, the editors of "Golden Crucible" are not worried at all that someone will do something small.

"Editor-in-Chief, look at his last name."

"Last name?" The editor-in-chief looked down and saw Sean's surname. He was stunned for a moment, and then took a breath of cold air, "Bosted? That Bosted? I remember there are only two in this generation of the Bosted family.

Children have entered Hogwarts, and they have just entered this year. So, this paper was written by a first-year child? How is this possible! "

"Editor-in-Chief, I did some research before and found that this Sean Bosted is the child of the Bosted family, and he is the child of the squib son of the Bosted family that was rumored a while ago."

"The Bosted family..."

After muttering to himself, the editor took off the pipe from his mouth, smoked it slightly, then put it back into his mouth and took a deep breath. The curls of white smoke floated out of the editor's nostrils and dispersed in the air.

After thinking for a while, the editor-in-chief looked at the young editor and said: "Use our snow sculpture to contact old Mr. Bosted and ask him if he needs us to take care of this Sean Bosted."

When the young editor heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Apparently he didn't understand why his editor-in-chief suddenly came to do this.

Seeing the expression on his subordinate's face, the editor-in-chief couldn't hold it back and kicked him in the leg, whispering: "You idiot, you don't know the truth behind the rumors.

I don't know either.

Old Bosted is one of the people with the strongest connections in the Wizengamotri. He usually seems to be inconspicuous. If he really wants to cause something, no one dares to say that he can suppress him.

It would be fine if he were his direct grandson. This grandson...

We need to ask clearly!"

"Editor-in-Chief, we are the "Golden Crucible", aren't we number one in academics?"

Seeing the serious look on the young editor's face, the editor-in-chief's mouth twitched slightly, wishing to kick him again, but after all, he was the one who brought him here. The editor-in-chief explained seriously: "Of course academics come first, but in academics

In addition, we must also consider how to make "The Golden Crucible" survive.

Without the support of the Wizengamot and the funds they allocate, do you think "The Golden Crucible" can survive? With the largest royalties in Europe, do you think these are all for nothing?

To take a step back, if this Sean Burst's paper is of the highest level and makes a significant contribution to the development of the magical world, we will publish it even if old Mr. Burst objects.

But his current paper, to put it bluntly, is just a paper that is qualified to be published in "The Golden Crucible". With or without it, it will not have much impact on the development of the magic world.

A paper like this certainly requires more consideration, do you understand?"

Nodding, the young editor said: "I understand, but I still insist that "The Golden Crucible" should be a purely academic journal, but I understand your choice."

"Don't talk nonsense to me, hurry up and do the work for me, and contact old Mr. Bosted as soon as possible!"

After receiving the order from his editor-in-chief, the young editor immediately wrote a respectful letter and sent it using a snow sculpture from "The Golden Crucible".

By coincidence, or simply on purpose, during the days when "The Golden Crucible" was being prepared for typesetting and printing, Gavin made a rare trip to the Wizengamot to have tea with an old friend, while Snow Sculpture was working in the editorial department of "The Golden Crucible" with the Wizengamot.

After flying around the Ministry of Magic for a while, he successfully found Gavin who was drinking tea here and gave him the letter.

Opening the letter and looking at the pile of words inside that looked like congratulations but were actually inquiries and tests, Gavin took out his pen and wrote a few words on it and said with a smile: "Just a little clever."

Gavin handed the letter back to the snow sculpture and took a sip from the tea cup, feeling relaxed and happy.

After receiving the reply, the young editor immediately handed the letter to the editor-in-chief.

Looking at the few words on the letter in his hand, the editor-in-chief showed a smile on his face, and then he immediately said seriously to the young editor: "Re-typesetting immediately. The re-typesetting must be completed before the printing time arrives. Put this article about improving the forgetful potion

The essay is added, ranked second, and emphasizes his identity as a first-year student at Hogwarts!"

"clear!"
