Chapter 554 "Harry Potter"

Bai Bai Le Kai Shui
Joanne was already used to Tver's ubiquitous schemes, and now whenever he smiled or cleared his throat, Joanne thought it meant something profound!
So, her mind has completely changed now.
In order to prevent Catherine from becoming too deep at a young age, Joanne began to pester Tver with questions.
Of course, the main reason was that she wanted to take the opportunity to let Tver answer her doubts.
"By the way, I heard that the sales of "The Adventures of Kidd and the Vampires" were not in line with your expectations?"
Joanne definitely cares most about her own work.
As far as she knows, this book has been translated into more than a dozen versions with extremely fast efficiency, and then spread to dozens of countries, all of which are rich or have large populations!
Although limited to the printing volume, it can only be sold in major cities in these countries, and the total sales volume is not as high as the momentum.
But Joanne couldn't be more satisfied!
In this era when technology is not particularly developed, it takes time for books to become famous and sell well, and only after the number of readers gradually increases, a popular atmosphere will be formed.
And now it is almost Tianhu's start, which is not what Joanne, a once-observant housewife and now a single mother, can imagine!
But what made her uneasy was that before picking up their mother and daughter, Bursted quietly revealed a piece of news - even though it was good, Tver was still dissatisfied with it.
"This is the best we can do in this era. How can I be dissatisfied with sales?" Tver shook his head.
"It's just that my expectations were too high and exceeded the limit."
To be precise, Tver probably overestimated the atmosphere that the propaganda methods of this era could create.
Although the magical world brought about by the book "Young Kidd" has attracted a lot of attention, it is still concentrated in traditional newspapers and TV programs.
Fewer people can see it, and even fewer can participate in the discussion.
In short, Tver is disappointed that the threshold of heat in this era is too low, purely objective factors.
But think about it, the original "Harry Potter" was slowly fermented in the UK, and only after it was released together with the series of movies did it gather a large group of fans around the world who yearn for the magical world.
Joanne looked at Tver's relieved look and asked a little cautiously: "Then my next book, which is the rewriting of "A Year with the Tibetan Snowman", does it still need to be done?"
The thing that prevents Catherine from having too much contact with Tver is life, but Tver is also her boss now, so it is normal for him to be a little reserved when talking about work!
Joanne comforted herself in her heart, after all, she couldn't live without Tver now——
salary!
"Of course I have to write..." Tver felt that the capitalist smile on his face alone was worthy of the most luxurious street lamp!
"It's not just this one I have to write. I have already arranged your next book. You don't think I asked you to come here just to gain Barty's favor, do you?"
Joanne suddenly realized that her restraint was wrong, and she should have taken the opportunity to ask for a salary increase!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Seeing that her daughter's attention was no longer here, she put her hands on her hips angrily.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"shop."
"?"
"To be precise, it is to understand firsthand the way of life in the magical world, in a more detailed way than before, and then..."
Tver pointed outside Duke Bee, with Hogwarts Castle in the distance looming in the afternoon sun.
"Adapt some of the stories that happened in that school over the past five years or so and write them down!"
"what story?"
Tver's solemnity made Joanne suddenly curious. When he assigned tasks several times before and even conveyed one revision after another, Tver expressed his attitude of letting her practice.
As a result, now, it seems that it is time to test the results of her practice?
When Tver was about to speak, Catherine suddenly came over with a bunch of candies.
"Mom, these are the delicious candies recommended by Grandpa Crouch. Please try this one called Bibi's multi-flavor beans. It's very interesting!"
Her face was full of excitement, but there was a hint of cunning when she raised the multi-flavored beans in her hand.
Apparently, she already knew that some of the beans didn't taste as good as she described them.
But Joanne's attention wasn't there.
"I remember it costs galleons here, right? How do you have the money to buy so many candies?"
"Consider this my gift to Catherine. Of course, madam, I will also make up for your gift."
Barty seemed to have regained his brilliance, and his whole person was full of positivity, no longer as ruthless as before for the sake of war.
Joanne looked at Catherine, who was starting to act pitiful, and felt a little embarrassed to refuse.
"It's considered your travel subsidy. Our company still has this kind of treatment." Tver grabbed the multi-flavor beans and put them in Joanne's hand.
"How about this? Catherine will leave it to Barty and Burst, let them go to Hogsmeade, and we can find a place to talk about the story?"
The boss had spoken, and Joanne had no choice but to nod.
After receiving her mother's permission, Catherine immediately happily pulled Barty and Burst away, not even saying goodbye to her mother.
Joanne pinched a multi-flavor bean and put it into her mouth, and asked curiously: "Then where are we going... Yue, what does this smell like? Why does it feel like boogers?!"
Tver suppressed a smile and said, "Go to the Three Broomsticks, that's a very nice bar."
But while she said she hated them, Joanne actually liked the weird flavors of multi-flavor beans.
By the time Tweel led her to the Three Broomsticks, only half of the bag of braised beans was left.
There were not many people in the bar, but Ms. Rosmerta seemed to be busy with something. There was only one waiter busy.
After two glasses of butterbeer were served, Tver felt that he could not wait any longer, otherwise Joanne would be fascinated by the magical foods in the wizarding world!
"I assume you also know about Hogwarts, the only wizarding school in the UK?"
"Uh-huh." Joanne sipped her butterbeer, but looked at the various drinks on other tables with bright eyes.
You wouldn’t know it until you try it, but the food in the magical world is so fun!
It's not that they were particularly good, but this weird novelty made her feel a wonderful surprise, as if each one was worth tasting once!
"..."
Tver was silent for a moment, and then recounted the story in his mind.
"Five years ago, a student named Harry Potter entered Hogwarts..."
Yes, Joanne's next job is to write the story of "Harry Potter"!
Of course, Tver would never allow his image to appear in a book, especially when the book is likely to be adapted for the big screen!
Therefore, what Tver wants to tell and what Joanne needs to complete will only be the original plot version of the story!
So, her mind has completely changed now.
In order to prevent Catherine from becoming too deep at a young age, Joanne began to pester Tver with questions.
