Harry and Ron whispered to each other, while Evan and Hermione sat on the other side of the table.
"He's so handsome, isn't he?", whispered Hermione.
"What?" said Evan surprisingly, as he followed her gaze, he realized who she was talking about, her gaze was towards the teacher's table to be more precise Lockhart sitting at the table.
"Order of Merlin, Third Class; Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defence League; and five-time winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award, not everyone can receive these awards.", said, Hermione, while she took out a book called "Voyages with Vampires," "We have a defence against the dark art class this afternoon, it'll be his first class at Hogwarts."
"He's a great wizard, but it's a pity that the first grade has to wait until tomorrow to hear his lessons.", said Hermione
Evan was, in fact, happy he didn't have to go to Lockhart's lesson today.
He distinctly remembers what happens in Lockhart's first class, so he didn't want to be attacked by a group of Cornish Pixies. I hope this class teaches Lockhart a lesson, to not take out things he can't control.
Soon the four parted ways, Harry, Ron, and Hermione went to Lockhart's class, while Evan went back to Gryffindor's common room since the first years had no classes at that time.
In the Gryffindor common room Evan worked together with Fred and George to finalize the posters for the newspaper, slogans were written in bold text, with information on postings, requests, royalties, ordering methods, and prices.
To help grow the user base, Evan decided to give away the first issue of the Hogwarts' Magic free, as long as the content is good enough to attract buyers it will be well worth it.
After Fred and George left Colin invited Evan to play a game but he rejected his offer, afterward, he went to the library to look for information for Hogwarts History section of the Hogwarts' Magic.
He plans to divide the section into two parts, the first part shall be titled "Hogwarts a History" which will mainly focus on prominent historical events that have happened in the school's history.
The first story will be about the founders of Hogwarts.
It is written about in the book named "Hogwarts a History," but Evan believes that only a few wizards actually read it, at least Harry and Ron have never read the book.
He will also write about stuff not introduced in the book.
For the information not introduced in the book, he will talk to Professor Binns.
As for the second part of the "Hogwarts a History" section, I think I will call it "Forgotten Memories."
This part is mainly to introduce information about Hogwarts graduates, Evan has yet to decide who to write about.
He wanted to talk about Dumbledore, but he could not find anything related to the headmaster other than what was already wildly known.
As for another well-known figure, Evan found a ton of information related to Tom Riddle, but he doesn't want other people to think that they are propaganda for Voldemort.
"Who should I write about, they need to be famous enough, so other students know who they are, but they can't be a Dark wizard.
For the whole afternoon Evan sat in the library flipping through Hogwarts books, each book was very thick and stacked together in stack taller than himself.
Irma Pince, the librarian, looked at Evan trying to figure out what the student was doing. She had never seen a freshman like Evan, sitting in the library on the first day of school, reading these boring history books.
Around three o' clock in the afternoon, Ginny came to find Evan.
"I heard Colin say you be in the library." said Ginny, "I just received a letter from Hagrid inviting us to his cabin."
"OK, I'm ready to take a break anyway." Evan stood up while rubbing his eyes and returned the books he had on hand, but he still had not decided on who to write about.
When they finally walked out of the castle door and breathed in a breath of fresh air, Evan felt revived.
"Evan, I heard Hermione say you are going to start a newspaper."
"Yes, I am!" said Evan while nodding his head, "Since you reminded me about it, I can take this chance to tell Hagrid about the newspaper and try to make him join, I think he'll be happy to introduce the creatures of the forbidden forest."
"Yeah, Yeah!"
Ginny looked at Evan with a hint of admiration and said, "A newspaper is amazing, I've never heard of a student that started his own before."
"It's not impossible when you have people helping you, Hermione, Harry, and a few of your brothers are helping me."
"Since everyone is helping, can I help too, I mean if you don't mind," said Ginny shyly.
Evan looked at her and decided to tease her.
"Ginny, it's not easy to run a newspaper." said Evan deliberately in a serious tone, "You know, we only need the best wizards."
"I think I know what you mean, Evan!" said Ginny as she bowed her head and sulked a little.
"Ha!" After seeing her look Evan couldn't help but laugh a little, "Don't be silly, Ginny, I was going to invite you to help Hermione, so many manuscripts, she can't finish them alone."
"But you said you only need the best wizards!"
"Our dear Ginny is the best!"
While smiling Evan said, "Harry is in charge of the Quidditch section, and if you join there will be plenty of opportunities to meet him."
Ginny's blushed and nodded her head, Evan hadn't waited for her to stop blushing before he moved on to the topic of Tom Riddle's diary, but to no avail, soon the two of them came to Hagrid's cabin.
When Evan knocked on the door, he heard a muffled dogs bark and then came the sound of Hagrid's voice.
"Fang sit!"
Soon Hagrid opened the door slightly but all Evan saw was Hagrid's bearded face. In the next second, a gigantic black hound jumped out of the door.
Fang pushed Evan down and started licking his face. Ginny screamed in horror behind him.
"Don't worry, get off Fang!" Hagrid approached and dragged the hound off.
Evan stood up and wiped the saliva from his face.
Like Hagrid, The Hound is not as fierce as it looks.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Evan and Ginny followed Hagrid into the cabin, the cabin had hams and pheasants hanging from the ceiling, there is also a fireplace where a copper kettle is used to boil water, and in the corner stands a massive bed with a patchwork quilt over it.
Hagrid poured a cup of tea for them and took out a large basin of rock cakes from the fireplace. Evan picked up one out of curiosity and tried it while almost breaking his teeth, Ginny just smiled, she apparently knew what these things where.
The two had a delightful time while Hagrid told the two of his impressions of every Weasley, he thought Fred and George was a pain in the rear, but he also praised Charlie Weasley.
Then the three talked about Harry.
Once again Hagrid thanked Evan for saving Harry from the Dursleys.
"Poor Harry, those odious Muggles dared to do that to him." said Hagrid while wiping his eyes with a big handkerchief, "He was just a little baby when I took him out of the remains of the house."
"Remains of the house," said, Evan, when he thought of a brilliant idea.
"Yeah, it was his home, in Godric's Hollow where Lily and James was killed by the one who should not be named," said Hagrid with his eyes filling with tears.
Evan and Ginny took turns to hug Hagrid, who had a rich mixture of emotions and kindness compared to other hybrid giants.
Thanks to Hagrid Evan finally found out who to write about, and it will be Harry's mother, Lily, about her life before she died.
She is well documented and was part of the most famous magical event of modern times.
As one of the key figures, there should be plenty of people who wish to know more about here. Evan also knows that Snape had feelings for Lily, so if he plays it right it could help get people from Slytherin to read the newspaper.
After Hagrid calmed down enough a few minutes later, Evan told him about the Hogwarts' Magic and invited him to join and write about the magical creatures of the forbidden forest.
"I don't know, Evan!" said Hagrid, "I don't know if I can handle the job."
"Rest assured, Hagrid, no one can compare to you when it comes to taking care of magical creatures," said Evan, "And no one in Hogwarts knows more about them than you either."
In fact, no one needed this job more than Hagrid.
After so many years of working with magical creatures, Hagrid desperately wanted to convey his experiences he had, and Evan's newspaper provided a way.
Given that Hagrid's sense of cuteness is not the same as ordinary people, Evan advised him to start with unicorns as the first creature. Otherwise, Hagrid would probably start with a three-headed giant dog, a giant spider or something worse.
The next thing was a lot easier; it was to find the magical creature.
So, Hagrid was in charge of finding the unicorns, and later Evan will take people to take pictures of it later and write about Hagrid's experience with the creature.
When Evan and Ginny returned to the castle, they saw people talking about the announcement of the newspaper. Fred and George had already posted posters on the school's bulletin boards.
Everyone was talking about things related to the Hogwarts' Magic newspaper.
"This is awesome, Evan, a newspaper that belongs to Hogwarts students!" said a third year, Hufflepuff while patting Evan on the shoulder.
From the gate to the Great Hall some people constantly came up to greet him, most of whom Evan had never seen before, but they seem to know him.
At Gryffindor's table, Fred and George were together with a gigantic grin on their faces.
"The response and effect are excellent," said Fred
"We've already begun to receive orders," said George.
In fact, the success of the poster, made several people feel happy but also a little pressured.
At night, in Gryffindor's common room, all the students of the Hogwarts' Magic newspaper held their first meeting, chaired by Hermione.
"So far, we have received a total of 168 orders, most of them are from Gryffindor," said Hermione while looking at a piece of parchment, "but no one is contributing any manuscripts."
"Relax, Hermione!" said Evan while comforting her, "We still have time."
"But there are only five days left, and a few of you haven't given me your articles you're responsible for." said Hermione, "Besides the manuscripts, we lack the photos, and I wonder if we can get everything done by next week."
Once Hermione said something about photos it made Colin shrink back.
He was responsible for the preparation of photos, but he spent the afternoon in the lounge with his roommate playing chess.
While Hermione continual nagged them Evan remained silent, and when he looked over to Harry and Ron sitting opposite of him, Harry winked at him, and Ron nodded telling him that it was the right choice to remain silent.
When Hermione shows interest in something, try to pay attention, and if you have a different opinion, it is best to be silent.
In this way, everyone remained silent except for Hermione, and a while later the meeting ended.
Harry and Ron were taken away to interview Gryffindor's Quidditch captain and write an article about the Quidditch team.
"She's terrible just like our mother!" said Fred.
"We have to make a good article," said George.
"Or she will kill us." said the twins in unison.
Then they pulled their little sister Ginny to a corner of the Common room to help them write something about the Grand Staircase of Hogwarts.
Colin went to mail an order for developer's potion while Evan sat in front of the fireplace and began to write a letter to Bathilda Bagshot, a famous historian, and Dumbledore's friend, who lived in Godric's Hollow, and a neighbour to the potters.
She was there until the night when Lord Voldemort attacked, so she knew a lot of details.
Half an hour later Evan finished the letter.
He is satisfied with what he wrote. In the letter, he gave his purpose of wanting to know the information in a tone of admiration from the younger generation, hoping to get her help so wizards could know more about Lily and sincerely invite her to become the Hogwarts' Magic newspaper History consultant.
He went to Owlery and sent the letter, he watched the owl fade into the night with a smile on his lips and believed that it would not be long before Professor Dumbledore, know about this from his old friend.
Evan was confident that, with Dumbledore's help, Mrs. Bagshot would be happy to tell him everything that happened.
