This man would never refuse the opportunity to make his daughter's life better, right?
The facts turned out to be just as Dolly expected.
Lovegood agreed to Dolly's request without much hesitation.
This even scared Luna, as she thought discovering these mysterious animals was her father's long-cherished wish.
At this time, Dolly, an outsider, could see it most clearly.
Perhaps when Lovegood was young he really wanted to study these mysterious animals that had not yet been discovered.
But 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.
It’s just that Luna is still young and doesn’t quite understand these things.
A few days later, Lovegood personally visited Dolly.
This also allowed the Dursleys to get close to real wizards.
Unfortunately, the meeting was not a very pleasant one, although Lovegood did not speak as rudely as Harry's father did, and in a sense, Harry's father did not mean it.
But even though Lovegood tried to restrain himself as much as possible, he and Vernon still couldn't get along.
However, no conflicts broke out among everyone.
Instead, it was Dolly's words that greatly changed Vernon's attitude towards Lovegood.
"Dad, that's exactly what we're going to do."
"To help them understand the changes in the world, what could be more appropriate than founding a newspaper and introducing them to the new things in the world?"
Now Vernon even felt a sense of mission.
So during the three people's discussions over many days, the prototype of this newspaper gradually took shape.
The first is that Lovegood Studios originally released it as a dissenter.
Lovegood himself proposed to suspend the publication, but Dolly refused.
Because Luna really likes and believes in the existence of these mysterious animals. In the original book, after graduation, she became a magical animal protection scholar like Newt.
He also traveled around the world in search of these mysterious animals.
Of course, she was disappointed that she didn't see any of the mysterious animals her father had described so vividly, as if they were in bedtime stories.
But she also discovered many magical animals and became a true expert in the field of magical animal protection.
Dolly didn't intend to let Luna's dream be shattered just yet, even if it meant leading Luna down the path of protecting magical creatures.
In other words, Dolly will not stop her friends from taking any path in life.
As long as it is what they want to do, Dolly will even support them with all her strength.
Luna was just the first.
The final conclusion is to sing the opposite tune and continue with the work.
Lovegood Studios expanded its staff and introduced a new printing line from the Muggle side to produce a new comprehensive newspaper.
Unlike prophets, whose main content is news and current affairs.
Dolly founded a newspaper, and she initially planned to focus on serial novels and literary creations.
Because in order to obtain news and edit it into reports, you need an entire system of reporters and editors.
This system is undoubtedly monopolized by the Daily Prophet. If we compete with them now, not only will we fail, but we may even arouse the resentment of the Ministry of Magic.
But if the main content is literary serial creation, it is different.
There is no doubt that this is the shortcoming of the Daily Prophet, but it will also have a large audience market.
The most vivid example is Lockhart.
Although Lockhart has been sent to Azkaban, his ecological niche will not disappear.
Dolly could easily produce one or more Lockharts to occupy the position of literary and artistic leader in the British wizarding world.
Novels, music, poetry, prose, and even quite advanced fields such as magic research, to put it bluntly, are all about establishing a persona and building a fan club.
It is this way of operating that has enabled Lockhart to achieve success.
This way of operating is quite fashionable not only in the wizarding world but also in the Muggle world.
So there's no reason Dolly wouldn't be successful.
The only problem was where to find so many professionals, and how to get literary and artistic works from the Muggle world into the magical world without violating the Statute of Wizarding Secrecy.
The previous question is actually not complicated, as long as you have money.
At worst, Dolly can recruit talents from the United States and Europe. With Dolly's family's current financial resources, it is not a problem to support a team of dozens of people.
What's more, if it can really establish an image like Lockhart's, this process may not necessarily lose money.
Although Dolly didn't expect it to make money.
As for the latter, it is a bit troublesome.
Although the Statute of Wizarding Secrecy 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 will not be completely ignorant of Muggles.
Although the textbook for this course has not been updated for decades.
But this approach is not in line with the idea of complete isolation between wizards and Muggles, and Dolly is worried that it will lead to resistance.
Finally Dolly wrote a letter to Dumbledore.
If anyone could explain this problem more accurately, it would be Dumbledore, the President of the International Confederation of Wizards.
Dolly asked Dumbledore for his opinion and shared her experiences in France.
Of course, this is all nonsense.
Although Dumbledore looks like a rustic old man, when he was young, he was an English gentleman in a suit who traveled around the world.
Although he is gay.
Because Dumbledore knew best that the wizarding world in the past would not be so backward and old-fashioned.
He also understands very well why these things happened.
Especially the UK today, its level of backwardness is far greater than that of France and the UK.
This is obviously an abnormal situation.
Therefore, contrary to Dolly's expectations, Dumbledore gave Dolly a positive answer.
He said he would have the professors in charge of Muggle-related courses at Hogwarts serve as consultants for Dolly's new newspaper.
In other words, the reputation of Hogwarts is used to guarantee that the content produced by Dolly's newspapers can be known by wizards.
This was an unexpected and direct help, but also a constraint.
This would make it difficult for Dolly to introduce outrageous content in the future, as the reputation of the newspaper and Hogwarts were tied together.
This was obviously also Dumbledore's own consideration.
Dolly agreed without much thought.
She knew Dumbledore's concerns, that Dolly would turn the wizarding world upside down.
But Dolly didn't have this idea. What she needed to do was to increase her ability to solve problems instead of just relying on the professors at Hogwarts.
Although the professors are reliable, Dumbledore's focus is not on Dolly after all. Although Snape will help Dolly, he will eventually become a spy.
Dolly is left to rely on herself.
In this way, the plans and direction of the new newspaper were determined.
All that remains is to recruit talent, introduce equipment, and design the first issue.
Obviously, each of these tasks is very complicated, and even if Dolly prepares them herself, it will not be completed in a short time, especially now that Dolly cannot leave.
But Dolly has enough gold galleons and now has many friends.
Dolly wrote to Fleur, asking her to help recruit talent in France.
As for the British side, it was enough for Lovegood to handle it himself.
Vernon would order the imported equipment, and then store it in the factory warehouse designated by Vernon. Lovegood would then use magic to move it away.
The person who provided the Seamless Extension Spell suitcase was naturally Dolly, so Dolly could increase the level of the Seamless Extension Spell at that time.
And so, Dolly's summer vacation had another important task.
That was designing the first issue and selecting novels that might appeal to the Muggle tastes of the wizarding world.
This question is actually not difficult.
Just refer to Lockhart's bestseller.
Although Lockhart's best-selling books are to some extent the product of fan circle economy, it is enough to show that Western fantasy adventure is the most acceptable type of novel for wizards.
So Dolly collected relevant novels in the Muggle world, such as the most typical one.
The Lord of the Rings series is a long fantasy novel written by John Ronald Reagan, a professor at Oxford University and a British writer.
This book is the sequel to "The Hobbit" and is recognized as the originator of modern Western fantasy literature.
After twelve years of writing and four years of revision, The Lord of the Rings was published between 1954 and 1955.
The book is divided into three parts: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King.
If this series of books can be accepted by the wizarding world, then Dolly won't have to worry about newspaper sales for years to come.
Of course, apart from similar fantasy novel masterpieces.
Dolly also stuffed in some best-selling books from the Muggle world.
For example, it includes the UK's best-selling series of novels, "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", and even throws in a few Cthulhu novels.
In addition, Dolly also published various poems, short essays, etc.
Of course, this process naturally does not directly pay royalties to the Muggle world authors and their heirs.
It’s not that Dolly doesn’t want to give it, but Dolly is still under house arrest.
How to give and how much to give is a question that is more complicated than imagined, because there is no precedent or law to refer to.
When Dolly gives it to them, what reason will she give them to accept it? You have to know that this money has to be taxed for the authors and their descendants living in the Muggle world.
So Dolly simply put this problem aside for the time being, and it would not be too late to solve it once she had figured out a solution.
In addition, there are actually more detailed issues.
That is, there are some concepts that Dolly needs to explain.
The Lord of the Rings series is fine, as a fantasy novel the magical world doesn't seem to have much of a barrier to entry.
But for other novels with realistic backgrounds, Dolly has to explain some of the technical terms.
But this is not a big problem.
Because Dolly's selections were all novels set in Britain in the past, unless there were things unique to the Muggle world, it wouldn't be difficult for wizards to at least have an idea of what they were about.
Dolly devoted almost the entire summer to this matter.
After Hermione and Qiu Zhang returned from their trip, they simply joined in to help.
The two people are really interested in this.
There was no need to say much about Hermione, as she had read countless books, including the novel chosen by Dolly.
Distributing these books and periodicals to wizards is essentially a recommendation process by fellow enthusiasts. Hermione has always subconsciously wanted to do this, but she just hasn't had the chance.
Qiu Zhang was simply interested in this matter.
Especially when it comes to the stage of translating terms from the Muggle world and the wizarding world, this is like a test question for Qiu Zhang, and she also seems very experienced.
Dolly felt that this might be related to Qiu Zhang's own identity.
As a person who was born in a big oriental country, he was born and raised in England, and then learned magic in the magical world.
In other words, Qiu Zhang, who seems to be only one year older than Dolly, actually spans three different cultural systems.
Although this is theoretically true for Dolly as a time traveler, in reality Dolly inherited the memory of her predecessor. Otherwise, the language and living habits issues alone would be enough to cause Dolly countless troubles.
