Chapter 92 Top Journal

Ron was moved, and he wanted to borrow the flying broom in the warehouse.

At this time, Draco flipped and fell from the sky, and stopped suddenly when he was only 0.5 meters away from the ground.

He wore transparent goggles and gray earmuffs, and his face was very pale, far from being as relaxed as Lin Xia when she fell.

Lin Xia didn't look uncomfortable at all!

Draco held the flying broom tightly, his body stiffened, and he took a deep breath for a long time before leaving the broom.

As soon as he landed, he fell softly on the grass and knelt on the spot.

Ron felt the same, and his face turned ugly.

"Draco, are you okay? You look very bad."

Harry walked to his side and patted his shoulder gently.

These days, everyone stayed together on the Quidditch field. In addition to doing anti-sickness training, Draco also helped Harry with auxiliary training. The relationship between the two has made a leap forward.

Harry no longer thought that Draco was an arrogant child. The scene he saw in the window before seemed to be just his illusion.

Ron also walked over, "Draco, how come Lin Xia was fine after taking the anti-stun test, but you..."

Before Ron finished speaking, Draco couldn't help but vomited on the spot.

Ron's face changed after seeing it, and he swallowed a few times, feeling like vomiting.

"Clean it up!"

Lin Xia cast a spell, and the filth was sorted into a ball and automatically fell into the trash can in the distance.

"Fragrant!"

She cast another spell, and a faint and fresh lemon smell floated around.

Draco smelled this smell, his expression relaxed, and his body felt a little better.

He answered Ron: "It was my mistake. I ate a little too much before training, and my body couldn't bear it."

"As for Lin Xia," Draco said a little depressed: "She has been in better physical condition than me since she was a child, so she didn't react as much as I did."

Recently, he has been practicing the exercises smoothly. He broke through from the first level of the bait realm to the second level, and felt that his body has become much stronger.

But compared with Lin Xia, the gap is still very large.

This made him want to break through the second level quickly and reach the third level. Lin Xia said that she is now in the third level of the bait realm.

If Lin Xia hadn't told him to lay a good foundation and not to rush for success, otherwise Draco would have wanted to drink tonic wine and tonic medicine every day to assist in his practice.

The three of them talked here, and Hermione found Harry alone, looking a little excited.

Harry was also very excited after listening, and quickly called Ron over.

Ron wanted to pull Draco and Lin Xia over together. Lin Xia noticed that at the edge of the Quidditch field, Mikel was looking at Harry and others.

So she thought for a while and refused.

"Ron, you guys can play slowly on the court. Draco and I are going to the professor's office."

Ron nodded: "Oh, OK! Lin Xia, Draco, let's play Quidditch together next time when we are free!"

Draco said: "Next time I will definitely let you experience anti-vertigo training in person, and see if you still laugh at me."

Ron made a face at him, "I don't play this, my physical fitness is not as good as yours, if I vomit like you, it would be too embarrassing."

Draco was speechless.

He also felt very embarrassed, but he couldn't help it!

When Lin Xia and Draco left, Hermione's excited voice floated faintly, "That is definitely a three-headed dog, with three heads and a tail like a snake..."

The two came to the basement.

Draco then spoke slowly: "What Hermione just said was the three-headed dog Cerberus, right? It can always be seen in myths. It is a creature responsible for guarding the gate of the underworld. It has three heads and a tail similar to a snake or dragon on its butt."

"But does this creature really exist in the real world?" he asked.

Lin Xia said indifferently: "I don't know, maybe they really have seen it. The wizarding world is so big, there are so many magical creatures, and some species can be artificially created.

Let alone the appearance of Cerberus, even if the legendary basilisk, the two-headed dog Ortus, and the nine-headed snake Hydra appear, it's not strange."

Seeing Lin Xia's indifferent look, Draco suddenly felt that his doubts were stupid.

The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. There is really nothing strange.

The two came to Snape's office together.

"Knock knock!"

"Come in!"

Lin Xia and Draco walked in, and Snape was refining potions.

The familiar smell of the potion came out, and Lin Xia's eyes flickered slightly. Professor Snape was refining the Polyjuice Potion again.

This kind of high-level potion is not so easy to refine.

Although high-level potions have always been in short supply, it is a bit unusual for Snape to refine all of them.

Is he a special supplier of Polyjuice Potion for a certain institution?

Snape didn't even look at them. He waved his wand lightly at the documents on the table. Two documents floated up and fell into the arms of Lin Xia and Draco.

"I have revised your papers. Next, as long as the experimental data comes, you can start publishing. Let me know after sending it out."

Lin Xia's document was much thinner than Draco's.

Professor Snape had some opinions about her at first, but after Lin Xia brought up Dean Sprout, he had nothing to say.

After that, he neither targeted Lin Xia nor took special care of her. He just helped to correct some common sense errors that he couldn't stand.

Lin Xia asked: "Professor, should we still choose to publish our paper in Magical Inventions?"

Professor Snape slightly raised his eyelids from the pile of potions, glanced at the two of them benevolently, and said with great arrogance:

"Lin Xia, have you been studying potions for too long and your brain is a little rusty?

"Magical Inventions" mainly reviews magical artifacts. Your magnetic wand is an item, so it can be published there.

But the potions and facial soaps developed by you and Draco are more related to potions and can be published in the journal "Potions Invention and Research". "

The journals of the British wizarding world say too much and say too little.

There used to be very few, but after Dumbledore became Minister of Magic, he made many reforms, including the introduction of many regulations to vigorously promote magical research and creation.

With policy support, many journals in the British wizarding world have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain in the past ten years.

But this did not affect the journal, which was already very old.

On the contrary, under the background of many emerging journals, old journals have become more and more valuable. They receive a lot of manuscripts every month and can only publish the best ones.

Although "Magic and Wonderful Inventions" is a new journal, it has good momentum. There are many wizards who subscribe and are willing to promote the magnetic wand cover recommendation.

If you submit your Magnetic Wand article to an old journal, although the impact factor will be greater, you may not necessarily get the treatment of a cover issue.

It may not even appear in the mid-term issue, and you have to turn back to find it.

So from a publicity point of view, the magnetic wand was published in "Magical Inventions", a win-win situation for both.

But "Poison Invention and Research" is different from other emerging journals. This is an orthodox and ancient top journal.

What can be published on it is all professional potion research content.

In terms of status, it is almost the same as "Transfiguration Today" that Professor McGonagall highly recommends.

When Lin Xia published his paper, he understood the current status of major journals and knew the influence of "Invention and Research of Potion" in the British wizarding world.

She said: "Thank you for the professor's affirmation, but the scabies potion and youth facial soap developed by Draco and I may not pass the "Invention and Research of Potions". If they fail, they will have to wait another month, which is a bit long. "

Professor Snape said calmly: "If you don't pass, keep voting. It's great that the little wizard can achieve your level of achievement. Do you still want to fly into the sky on a rocket?"

Lin Xia smiled softly: "Professor, Draco and I have absolutely no such thoughts. It's just that Draco wants to get an outstanding student in Hogwarts as soon as possible, and I want to increase my authority level as soon as possible.

If there can be a stable passage, then why should we wait another month, don't you think, Professor Snape? "

Snape stared gloomily at Lin Xia's amber eyes. There was a person in his memory whose eyes were as sparkling as hers.

Damn, why doesn't she have green eyes?

The emerald he wanted was embedded in the body of an extremely annoying kid!

Snape looked away and said in a cold voice: "Just publish "The Invention and Research of Potions". If your two papers are not good, I have to wonder if this journal is not worthy of its name. It is really full of rubbish." Contribute on it!”

Lin Xia understood: "Okay, thank you, Professor."

Draco thanked him politely.

The two left the office and returned to the Hufflepuff common room.

After entering the lounge, Draco said belatedly: "Lin Xia, did Professor Snape just promise that we would pass?"

"It's not so straightforward, but at least it gives us some protection. He asked us to publish "Invention and Research of Magic Potions". Either he is qualified to recommend in this journal, or even bolder, maybe he is the editor of this journal. regular reviewer.

The reviewers of journals are not that simple, they need to verify the ideas of the contributors.

In other words, every newly invented potion must be verified by reviewers before the paper can be published.

Because these reviewers need to verify the authenticity of potions, they must have advanced knowledge of potions.

It is usually held by elites, leaders and famous masters in the industry.

Draco clicked his tongue, "Cool, you actually dare to make conditions with the professor!"

Lin Xia said without blushing and out of breath: "I clearly had a reasonable discussion with the professor. Besides, Dean Sprout asked him personally and gave him an unknown amount of discount. I just asked him to provide a reasonable amount." force."

Draco also felt that it made sense, "That's right. I don't know what my father gave Professor Snape. I can't be so afraid of him next time. I have to be brave enough to make my request. This is called a fair deal."

Time flew by and it was November 20th.

There is a Quidditch match tomorrow.

This game is Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. If Gryffindor wins, the ranking of the House Cup Championship will rise to second place, and Slytherin will drop to third place.

As for the first place, it is firmly controlled by Hufflepuff.

There was no way, Draco and Lin Xia had too many extra points in class.

Even though Gryffindor has Hermione, Hermione can only ask the professor to add normal marks, while those two people can make the professor add abnormal marks.

At noon, Lin Xia had dinner in the auditorium and met three owls delivering envelopes, and Draco had five.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of excitement in their eyes.

With so many thick documents, has the human test they wanted been released?

Some young wizards took a curious look and immediately felt dizzy.

So many strings of numbers that they couldn't understand!

It was unbelievable. How could Draco and Lin Xia be so interested in looking at a pile of data? Was there any decryption method in it?
