"Then let's name it after the four of us: you, me, Luna, and Hermione."
Qiu Zhang’s proposal is obviously constructive, but the question is how to name it after four girls?
In the end, it was Qiu Zhang who came up with an idea.
"Let's just call it four colors."
Dolly and Qiu Zhang also guessed her intention, which was to incorporate the representative colors of the four Hogwarts colleges into the newspaper, so that everyone would realize that this newspaper was endorsed by Hogwarts, and at the same time enhance everyone's familiarity with it.
After all, theoretically all wizards in the UK graduated from Hogwarts, and everyone would definitely be interested in seeing a newspaper from Hogwarts after leaving school.
"We can even collect articles from Hogwarts and record some interesting things about Hogwarts, so that everyone can be more interested."
Then Luna suggested: "Four colors are a bit too direct, how about four collars?"
"Or for the collar?"
Originally, she didn't think her proposal would be accepted because it seemed a bit strange.
But Dolly's eyes lit up and she said, "Great, now we have a logo."
Dolly then drew the collar of a person. Because he was wearing two different pieces of clothing, a suit and a shirt, there were several collar corners. Then she painted the four collar corners in the same colors as the four colleges.
At first Qiu Zhang and Luna didn't understand what this meant, but they understood the moment they saw it.
Such formal attire means that this newspaper is mainly read by adults, and the adult wizards in suits and ties still cannot forget their years at Hogwarts. This is the connection between this newspaper and Hogwarts.
"Perfect!"
"It couldn't be better!"
Dolly looked at her work proudly. The most important thing was that she also used a pun.
This kind of pun will definitely be very helpful when it is first spread, increasing people's memory points.
People may find the four colors baffling, but the four collars are impressive.
Dolly then mailed the printed copy out, and all that was left was to wait for the first issue of the newspaper to be officially released.
As for Malfoy, as Dolly expected, Malfoy and his three followers were all wrapped in bandages, looking as if they were all seriously injured.
It was obvious that the Malfoy family wanted to get back at the situation.
Back in the second year, the Malfoy family was brought into disgrace by Dolly and Lucius even lost his position as school director.
Now that there was an opportunity to cause trouble for Hogwarts, Lucius had no reason not to do it.
Seeing that the other party had taken action, Dolly naturally would not be polite.
She simply wrote a short essay, vividly describing how the three Malfoy brothers provoked magical creatures and were attacked, as her first Hogwarts campus submission to the Four-Color Collar Newspaper.
Of course, Dolly concealed the names of the three people.
But Dolly knew that the Daily Prophet would publicize the fact that Malfoy was injured with the support of the Malfoy family, and then everyone would naturally know who the idiot Dolly described in the newspaper was.
This is not Dolly's leak. The Malfoys can't find any trouble with Dolly even if they want to.
What's more, Dolly is no longer afraid of the Malfoy family. As long as Dobby is still at Dolly's house, the Malfoy family will not be able to make any waves here.
Soon, a few days passed.
As Dolly had expected, the Daily Prophet published the story of Malfoy being attacked by the stupid half-giant Professor Hagrid and the dangerous magical creatures he raised in the Care of Magical Creatures class.
However, when Malfoy excitedly received the Daily Prophet, he was surprised to see that his classmates had all received a brand new newspaper.
245
Chapter 245: Prophet Day reports on the ambush.
Students naturally get bored with the old and love the new.
Even though the Daily Prophet records very novel news, students are still happy to experience this new fun when faced with a newspaper with completely novel content.
What's more, Dolly would provide Hogwarts with a full 100 free newspapers and magazines for students to read every issue. A newsstand had been built at the door, and anyone could just put the newspapers back after reading them.
For Dolly at the moment, this is just a drop in the bucket of investment, and Dolly can even make the decision herself.
But the impact is huge.
Normally, when Hogwarts students look at Dolly, half of the time it's because of her beautiful face, and the other half is because it's pleasing to the eye to see Dolly interacting with several beautiful girls.
But now, there was obviously more admiration in their eyes when they looked at Dolly, because they knew that these works from the Muggle world were translated by Dolly and others.
Although it was just an English-to-English translation, changing some words that were incomprehensible in the wizarding world into meanings that could be understood here, it was obviously an extremely huge achievement for several young wizards from grades one, two, and three.
So much so that all the professors who entered the restaurant today, except Snape, took the initiative to greet Dolly and the others and praised their work.
Of course, not everyone realizes how much financial resources and capabilities Dolly has behind her to be able to establish this newspaper. After all, this is not an angle that the little wizards can focus on.
But when they saw the embarrassing things that the unnamed Malfoy trio did in the Magical Beasts class, even the young wizards who had no social experience realized that Malfoy might be furious.
The same is true.
Malfoy looked at the words above and his nose was almost crooked with anger.
His arm was still bandaged and he was about to tell others how serious his injury was and how even magic couldn't heal it.
As a result, he slammed his hand on the table in anger. When everyone looked at his injured arm, Malfoy finally reacted and screamed exaggeratedly, pretending that he was still injured.
"Dolly, I think he needs your healing."
Qiu Zhang complained in Dolly's ear, and Dolly smiled and said, "No, he needs to be hit on the head a few times before he can return to normal."
Malfoy obviously intended to continue making trouble. He and the Malfoy family really didn't dare to attack Dolly directly now, but there was no doubt that they still had the courage to attack a magical creature.
Or perhaps this matter essentially had nothing to do with Dolly, and the Malfoy family probably carried out this plan out of disgust for Dumbledore.
It was a pity that Dolly and Buckbeak were already friends, and she naturally couldn't bear to see such a spiritual animal being killed by the Malfoy family's conspiracy.
Next, Malfoy began to loudly refute Dolly's newspaper, intending to make the Slytherin students think that it was all a bunch of shit. As a result, someone quickly reminded him that the person who translated the article was Dolly and her friends.
So Malfoy changed the subject and began to criticize the person who wrote the news as a fool. It would have been fine if he had just spread rumors, but he actually dared to slander his Malfoy family?
After hearing Malfoy's words, Qiu Zhang and Luna looked at Dolly in fear, because it was Dolly who wrote the news.
Dolly naturally concealed her name. After all, she had appeared in many appearances, and there was no need for her to become a thorn in the side of the Malfoy family.
But now that the Malfoys have come forward, she won't be polite.
He raised his wand directly at Malfoy and hit him as he screamed.
Snape, who was eating, stood up in surprise, but then sat back down steadily.
Because Malfoy was running around the table, dancing and flailing, and he didn't look hurt at all.
The Slytherin students also glared at Dolly at first, but after Dolly "cured" Malfoy and his followers with three consecutive healing spells, the Slytherin students no longer dared to look at Dolly.
Especially when they looked at the two generals, Heng and Ha, who were screaming along with Malfoy, even though they respected Malfoy's bloodline very much, they couldn't help but frown and turn their heads away in pain.
It's because Malfoy and the others are so ugly.
It's true that Slytherin is extremely xenophobic, but many people still can't get over the dignity of asking them to defend the clown.
"Nice healing spell, Miss Dursley."
Professor Sprout couldn't help but speak up when he saw this and gave Dolly an extra five points.
In fact, after Dolly's newspaper came out, the public pressure created by Malfoy in Hogwarts was offset by the professor because of Dolly's own credibility.
Naturally, they also couldn't stand the appearance of a clown like Malfoy, but as professors, it was not convenient for them to step forward because they had to consider Snape's face.
But now that Dolly has taken action, naturally there are people who are willing to make Slytherin even more uncomfortable.
Sure enough, the next second Snape said coldly with a dark face: "Mr. Malfoy, if your injury was half as bad as your voice, you would be rolling on the ground with blood all over your body."
"If I were you, I'd go thank Miss Dursley and then go back to your stupid den with a strawberry pie as muddled as your brains, and be grounded for a week starting today."
Malfoy was naturally dumbfounded by Snape's scolding.
At the same time, I also realized that I was being stupid.
The wound that had already been healed by the school doctor was now warm and even stronger than the uninjured hand. How could he continue to pretend?
He could only leave the restaurant with his head down, leaving behind the laughter of the other three houses and the dissatisfied looks of the students of Slytherin.
"You're welcome, Professor Snape."
Dolly waved to Snape from a distance and mouthed a message.
Snape snorted coldly, rolled his eyes at Dolly, and continued to eat with his head down.
He really didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. It had nothing to do with whether Dolly was involved or not. It was just that Malfoy was being too stupid.
However, in reality, if Dolly had not founded the newspaper to offset Malfoy's attempt to create public opinion, Malfoy would have succeeded even if everyone knew that Malfoy's injury was fake.
The Hippogriff was not poisonous; the damage it caused was merely ordinary skin wounds, which would take more than a night to heal with magic.
Even at this point, Malfoy had no intention of giving up.
Because in the final analysis, as long as the Daily Prophet continues to exaggerate this matter and the Ministry of Magic continues to send people to execute Buckbeak, then Malfoy wins.
As for the turmoil Dolly stirred up in the school, no matter how capable she was, could she defeat the Daily Prophet?
In fact, most people thought so too. No one thought that a newly established publication could compete with the Daily Prophet, which was a copy of every member of the wizarding world.
But the Daily Prophet itself doesn't think so.
On the first day of discovering this newspaper, the reporters of the Daily Prophet went into action, trying to dig up negative information about it, and even complained directly to the Ministry of Magic in an attempt to shut down the Four Color Collar Weekly.
Obviously, the Daily Prophet does not want its monopoly position to be challenged in any way.
The reason why the previous "Singing the Opponent" was able to exist was that its content was too unorthodox to be taken seriously by people who did not respect this publication founded by an individual.
But the four-color collar is different now. Although its main content is the serialization of various literary works, that one small story has already delayed the Prophet's profit.
In order to achieve Malfoy's desired goal, Lucius gave the Daily Prophet 500 gold Galleons.
Although 500 gold Galleons was not an income that the Daily Prophet could not afford to lose, this trend of having its business easily ruined was definitely not what the Daily Prophet wanted to see.
Minister of Magic Fudge was also very angry about the appearance of the four-color collar weekly newspaper.
He had a special ability to regard all news about Dumbledore as a provocation to his status.
Of course, this is just a joke.
Essentially, he cared too much about and feared Dumbledore, feeling that Dumbledore could take his place at any time, leaving him with no sense of security.
He also regarded the appearance of the four-color collar as part of this trend.
He immediately saw through the close relationship between the newspaper and Hogwarts, and did not think that Dolly and a few others could support the entire newspaper. He felt that this was a sign that Dumbledore was beginning to try to establish his own public opinion system.
So he directly ordered the Ministry of Magic to investigate the possible problems of the Four-Color Collar Newspaper Company and consider whether to ban it completely.
After receiving inside information from the Ministry of Magic, the Daily Prophet launched an all-out criticism of the Four Collar Weekly the next day, even claiming that the serialized Muggle literature in the newspaper was suspected of violating the Statute of Wizarding Secrecy.
Because this will make wizards yearn for the Muggle world, and then make wizards try to contact Muggles, which will eventually lead to the leakage of magical secrets. All the operators and creators of newspapers should be thrown into Azkaban.
Naturally, this momentum quickly caused the young wizards in Hogwarts to start talking about it.
They had originally liked the Four-Color Collar Weekly because it showed a close relationship with Hogwarts and also carried fresh and interesting content. For example, the Daily Prophet's stories about the wizarding world and the new laws announced by the Ministry of Magic were much more interesting.
As a result, the entire Four-Color Collar Weekly is about to collapse after only the first issue was published?
Luna and Qiu Zhang also pulled Dolly aside to discuss this matter anxiously, but Dolly was very calm and even thought it was a good thing.
"Your father just sent me a message saying that all 500 copies of our first week's print run have sold out."
"The Daily Prophet advertised us, and many people wanted to see what the competitor who made the Daily Prophet's front page so angry looked like."
Dolly printed a total of 600 copies of the first issue of the newspaper, 100 of which were taken to Hogwarts and 500 were sold.
Of course, Dolly also sent some to some familiar people or friends, but this sporadic number can be ignored.
"Dolly, now we are discussing whether the Ministry of Magic will directly ban our newspaper!"
Qiu Zhang said helplessly: "If we are banned, what's the point of having good sales?"
Dolly said calmly, "Isn't the Ministry of Magic looking for loopholes in our laws? That means they don't dare to use force alone."
"Since we have to go through the legal process, let's go through it slowly with him. We have our own professional lawyers and can even get Dumbledore to intervene."
Qiu Zhang and Luna looked at Dolly in disbelief. Luna couldn't help asking, "Will the principal help us?"
"Of course, I have an offer he can't refuse."
Soon, Dolly met Dumbledore and explained his reasons.
