"I finally found you, but you actually came to hide in this place!"

"Barbara is quiet, this is the library." Zhao Mai put his fingers up in front of his lips and signaled her to sit down first.

"Hmph, you are so leisurely, taking the dog and maid here to hide in peace." Barbara lowered her voice and sat down obediently. The reserved grains were climbing up from Zhao Mai's feet, rubbing itchy on her legs, and Barbara took the opportunity to scratch its ears.

"This is the * area, how did you come in?" Zhao Mai looked at Barbara with some surprise.

"I searched all over Hogwarts. To be honest, if there was no place here, I would have to go to the Forbidden Forest to see." Barbara waved his hand at magnificently, pointed to the surroundings and said, "I could have come here. Don't forget that our family is alchemy. Many things are * in Hogwarts. I have also written one of them myself. On the contrary, why didn't you do what you promised?"

"What promised you? Are you talking about winning the championship?" Zhao Mai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reached out and placed it on Barbara's forehead, used his spiritual power to investigate and said, "Strange, no one has ever touched it!"

"It's you who touched your feet!" Barbara moved her head away and hit Zhao Mai's wrist, but her palm hurt so much. "Oh! Are there iron wrist guards hidden in your sleeves? Why are they so hard?!"

"Yes, don't hit me randomly, you may be the one who was injured." Zhao Mai smiled, and then suddenly realized: "Oh... you made me win the championship. I thought you just asked me to help ensure that Hogwarts win the championship!"

"Idiot, who thought you would let Jeffon win the championship instead of taking action by yourself!" Barbara rubbed her swollen wrist and said, "Jevob is from Gryffindor. I guess their academy will be the academy champion this year..."

"Do you value the Academy Cup so much? That's nothing good, it's just that the flags and clothes are more beautiful, and the facilities of the Academy can be given priority. The competition for potions classrooms is the most intense, but your family has never lacked opportunities to practice potions, right?"

"You have never been a college cup, why do you say that the college cup is not good? This is wrong! In short, you have lost my chance to win the championship and you have to pay for it!" Barbara sat opposite Zhao Mai with her cheeks, her big eyes flashing and blinking, and she looked like "You can do it."

"What you said makes sense. I have a saying that means this. If you can't eat grapes, it means that grapes are sour." Zhao Mai nodded and said, "But I can't do anything now. Professor Dumbledore asked me to keep a low profile, so I'll come here to read. Do you have any good ideas?"

"Oh... I have also heard some rumors from my family that the trouble you caused this time is quite big, and even my grandfather said it was difficult to deal with. He also asked me to bring you a word to be careful of Atlantis's affairs. But what you did is within the rules. How can the Ministry of Magic do you? Even if Hogwarts doesn't want you, you can go to our house! In the magic world, our house doesn't have to be bad at all." Barbara said with a slightly red face, puffing her cheeks.

"Barbara, do you know how old I am? You should find someone who is of the same age to get along with me, not me... Uh, Dogian, how old am I?"

"According to the years there, you should be nine thousand and nine hundred years old." Dogian said with a serious expression.

Zhao Mai narrowed his eyes and knew that Dogian was teasing himself. Her neural assistive network includes various books such as "Five Thousand Years of Up and Down". Basically, she was reading when she sat still, and no one knew what books she had read and how many books she had read.

"I am not surnamed Wei, and I am not as exaggerated as 9900 years old, but I am not young anymore." Zhao Mai said to Barbara: "Don't you think I'm so angry? Why don't you go to find other classmates and friends, but..."

"No, I know what you are covering up, I can feel it." Barbara pointed to her nose: "I can smell the secret you are hiding. You are not dull. You are obviously a hidden volcano, and once it erupts, it will be very spectacular. Even the matter in Atlantis this time is just a small bolt. Don't you know that girls like mysterious things?"

Zhao Mai looked at Barbara, feeling speechless, not knowing what to say to her for a moment. Do you still scold her and make her feel completely sad and painful? "Some things you should listen to the elderly. Even if you don't want to listen to me, ask your grandfather more. I think he is still very knowledgeable."

"Ah, when it comes to Grandpa, I forgot to say something. I heard the news that the Ministry of Magic wants to reward those who participate in the Youth Wizard Championship. Jeff Bell definitely wants a grand prize, but you include it. But this time the Ministry of Magic will ask you two to come over and hold a magic council to decide. Unfortunately, the meeting will be closed, and there will be no award ceremony, celebration or something like that. As you said, this championship is destined to be handled in a low-key manner."

"Hey, you always hear about this, and that...how can you hear about so many things?"

Barbara blushed, laughed twice, then lowered her voice and said, "Our family owns a Muggle newspaper, and it has shares in major newspapers and magazines in various magic countries, such as the Prophet Daily, so I am well-informed. I am not the kind of spy who likes to ask for information everywhere, don't get me wrong."

Newspaper? An idea appeared in Zhao Mai's mind. After the 21st century, it was undoubtedly the era of the Internet. Various client media and self-media became the largest news distribution centers, and even the Curse of Forgetfulness exploded through this method. However, all of this was predecessors of paper media, and in 1919 it was newspapers and radios, and now it has not even invented TV.

Influence... Isn't this a ready-made method? Who can know better than Zhao Mai or Dogian what will happen next? If you build a newspaper and go on the road of media, will influence be slowly established? Considering the different ways of controlling media in various countries, Zhao Mai may need to control it secretly, but this is also the same as his low-key policy. Doing so will definitely be more expensive, but then again, on the earth where the gold and silver standard is implemented, Zhao Mai has too many means to create wealth.

"Barbara, your current pocket money is not given to your family right?"

"Yes, but what do you want to do? I won't do anything for money!" Barbara said hurriedly.

"I suddenly had an idea," Zhao Mai said with a smile: "Are you interested in a magic experiment used to practice and verify prophetic spells?"
