Now Ron picked up a book, its cover inscribed in gilded cursive script:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilderoy Lockhart Teaches You to Eliminate Household Pests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the title was a large photograph of a handsome wizard with wavy golden hair and bright blue eyes. Photos in the Wizarding World were animated—the wizard in the picture was winking at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that the Alchemist who might be at Hogwarts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry asked, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“More than just ‘might’! I mean, it’s very likely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron’s face turned beet red, and he finally managed to squeeze out a few words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry gave him a strange look just as an owl delivered the Daily Prophet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they opened the envelope, Ron whispered to Harry:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you still planning to go back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His meaning was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have to go back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry paused for a moment, then said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll help you, remember? Jia Jia Siting wrote—he’s investigating those bastards… your aunt and uncle’s family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron reassured him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he said “we’ll help,” Harry’s eyes quietly welled up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron realized he had said too much and quickly snatched the Daily Prophet from the owl’s claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at the paper—maybe they’ll invite you too…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newspaper showed the same shop, the same tall, slender back of the young wizard at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time Ron saw it, he felt a strange thrill—he was one of the few who knew the secret most wizards didn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only regret was that he still hadn’t collected the Chocolate Frog card—it appeared less frequently than the “King Arthur” card in the bizarre Wizard’s Chess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the photograph on the newspaper was a bold headline:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Never-Before-Seen Invitation System! Hype or Real?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This snapped Harry out of his daze, and he looked curiously—expecting criticism of the shop’s unique sales method—but instead found nothing but praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita, the witch with voluminous wavy hair, had praised the system to the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her words, receiving an invitation from this shop proved you had real power and status in the Wizarding World; without it, you were merely pretending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such grand claims stunned a large crowd of wizards. But when Rita named those who had received invitations, the wizards fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albus Dumbledore, Nicolas Flamel…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, neither of these two wizards had refused—they had accepted the invitations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew this was an implicit endorsement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the wizards’ already excited emotions burn even hotter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the shop extended invitations only via paper airplanes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It gave no opportunity to buy entry with Jin Jin Jialong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, as the article suggested, only wizards of sufficient status could obtain one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cobblestone pavement shimmered with warm light; the shop’s brick walls were hot from the sun. Outside Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour, several empty tables and chairs stood, with only one parasol gently dozing in the breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from Florean Fortescue’s, a group of distinguished wizards had gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Weasley twins watched this modest crowd from the Joke Shop and suddenly understood what Wizard Sean meant by “no disruption.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean had arrived at the shop long ago—it had been completely renovated, transformed anew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A door carved from a single block of ebony stood quietly; its brass handle was a coiled ouroboros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glass display cases, once lying flat, had been raised upright; behind each was a lifelike magical creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean waited for Professor Professor Tela’s arrival when the Daily Prophet arrived—he glanced at it casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Never-Before-Seen Invitation System! Hype or Real?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He read on silently, puzzled when he reached the part about status and prestige.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invitation system was not nearly so complicated—it simply existed because Fairy Cookies were produced in extremely limited quantities and were always pre-ordered by Alchemists and the Ministry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, seventy invitations were issued, but in truth, no one knew how many invitations were actually sent via paper airplanes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving Wizard Sean flexible production time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the true goal.\u003C\u002Fp>",1068,"2026-06-19T10:00:41.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fb3f1fbfdd9628da5c30868c2d3b081f506826b1daa6e80d9bb00e385d614ff0","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-263","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-261",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
