"I hope you can produce... a paper that you feel comfortable with!" Dumbledore winked playfully. "Please remember..."

He lowered his voice slightly, as if sharing a secret, "Pay attention! This is a very important tip! Only by writing papers that make you feel comfortable will you be more likely to pass the profiling review!"

"I can give you a small example here..." he shared with a smile, "Of course... this example has already been implemented."

"I'm particularly dissatisfied with the taste of the Invigoration Potion and hope to improve Invigoration Potion to make it more palatable without affecting its original effects..."

"Then we can use this as the topic to try to improve the Invigoration Potion, and write a corresponding paper on this subject."

"This is the kind of paper that makes you feel comfortable, because it is based on your hobbies and interests, and you will take the initiative to complete it."

Upon hearing this example, the students realized that Dumbledore's "delicious Invigoration Potion" was indeed a tangible example, namely the popular Coolick on campus today.

Seeing the students' performance, Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction.

He wanted his students to develop Magical Understanding, but he pondered many ways to express it tactfully and avoid getting the point wrong.

He kept this issue in mind as he finalized the details of "The 《Hogwarts Voice》";

Ultimately, it's because they've been out of school for too long, leading to situations like "Blind Spot";

He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable word to convey this veiled hint.

It wasn't until today that he finally understood and settled on the word "comfortable".

After listening to Dumbledore's words, Lupin was lost in thought, recalling his experience in the carriage earlier.

He instinctively craned his neck to look at Wizet, who was sitting at the Ravenclaw Table —what Dumbledore had said was quite similar to what Wizet was conveying.

Not only Lupin thought so, but Hermione also realized this, and whispered to Harry and Ron, "Don't you think this looks familiar?"

"Familiar?" Harry and Ron were both taken aback, not quite understanding.

"It was in the carriage! Have you forgotten?" Hermione sighed softly, "The Seeker... Wizard's Chess..."

"Wizet!" Harry and Ron exclaimed, "Oh yeah! It does sound a lot like that!"

It wasn't just Harry and his friends who were discussing it; students from all three houses were also talking about it.

"So this is the type of question I can answer! I think I have an idea!"

"You'll get House Points after passing, fifty points all at once!"

"Although we can discuss and exchange opinions, and think about how to begin writing..."

Hufflepuff's focus was on "not being bound by form" and Dumbledore's later mention of "comfort," feeling that this would allow him to write papers on topics that interested him.

Gryffindor considering the issue of House Points. As a house that often loses points, being able to gain fifty House Points at once would prevent the house hourglass from looking too bad.

Ravenclaw value the use of exam paper for their essays and the requirement to write independently, as this ensures they are not influenced by the ideas of others while writing, which they consider an advantage.

"Please allow me to say a few more words..." Dumbledore clapped his hands again to quiet everyone down. "As I just said, the name of this magazine is ' The 《Hogwarts Voice》 '."

"We hope that through this magazine, your voices can be heard in the wizarding world... Therefore! This magazine will not stop at Hogwarts; it will be distributed outside of Hogwarts!"

"Once we have enough papers, we will conduct a new round of screening to select the best ones and share your ideas with the entire magical world!"

"As for the method of transmission... many people should be familiar with the second floor of Flourish and Blotts. The book clubs held there often attract outstanding wizards from all over the world..."

Upon hearing this, the Slytherin students sat up straighter and became more focused than before.

They did indeed investigate the second floor of Flourish and Blotts.

"That's right!" Dumbledore smiled slightly. "I've spoken with Mr. Klotar Baschat ... and he will be working with Hogwarts!"

"The selected papers will be annotated by members of the book club and, through Flourish and Blotts ' channels... truly reach the magical worlds of various countries and make your voices heard!"

Dumbledore speaking, the Slytherin students began to get restless.

After two years of hard work, Klotar Baschat's "Flourish and Blotts Book Club" has now made a name for itself.

Whether it's a wizard featured in The Witch Weekly or a wizard from various important organizations, they may appear on the second floor of Flourish and Blotts.

For Slytherin students, the allure of gaining the favor of Flourish and Blotts Book Club members and having their papers reach the world is immense!

The Slytherin students also began to discuss whether they should contact their families to see if there were any books in their collections that could be sent to the school for use as research material in their papers.

Dumbledore stood still, a slight smile playing on his lips, and let the students discuss for a while.

When the time was right, he announced loudly, "Details about ' The 《Hogwarts Voice》 '... will be posted on the bulletin boards in each common room tomorrow morning."

"Now that I've covered all the important points, I imagine everyone must be starving and exhausted. Let's enjoy the Start-of-Term Feast together!"

At his command, all sorts of food and drinks suddenly appeared from the various tableware on the long table;

They emitted steaming heat and fragrant aromas, hoping the students would notice their presence.

However, the students seemed somewhat distracted, merely glancing at the various delicacies, casually taking a little from their plates and placing it on the plates in front of them;

The students weren't very focused when cutting the food; some didn't even cut into the food, just scraping the plate with their knives, making a sharp "sizzling" sound.

Even with such noises, they didn't pay much attention and were enthusiastically discussing things related to "The 《Hogwarts Voice》".

Before we knew it, the dinner was coming to an end, and the remaining food disappeared from the plates, leaving them spotless once again.

Having experienced the Dementor going out of control and the Start-of-Term Feast, the students were all feeling deeply exhausted and wanted to get back to their dormitories as soon as possible to get a good night's sleep.

Wizet and Luna followed the main group back to Ravenclaw Tower.

The Bronze Ring beneath the Eagle Statue trembled slightly, and a melodious female voice asked, "Invisible and without shadow, yet capable of changing the world; Silencio, yet capable of stirring hearts?"
