The next morning at 9:30 a.m., No. 126a, Diagon Alley.

At the door of a low white building, Felix smiled and shook hands with a woman in a long purple dress.

"No more, ma'am. It's an honor to continue working with you."

"Oh ~ Mr. Haip, you are so humble, your books are always so inspiring."

Felix walked down the dark brown wooden steps and blended into the crowd. At this moment, he felt relieved, 'The first book is finished, and it took almost no effort. ’

'But what comes next is the main event. ’

He walked all the way along Diagon Alley, turned a corner in front of Gringotts Bank, turned to another fork, and counted the house numbers all the way.

"13a, 14b, 15a on the south side of Diagon Alley...so, the shop at No. 15b should be opposite." Felix turned around and saw a seven-story building.

The building is dirty and in disrepair, and the letters are peeling off. He could barely make out an L letter, which cast a shadow over his subsequent collaborations.

In the gap between the building and the house next to it, there is a row of huge trash cans, which also have traces of the letter .A on them.

He went down the dark stairs to the second floor, pushed open a scratched oak door, and a noisy, noisy and small sound broke into his ears.

He seems to have come to another world. The walls are covered with colorful comic strips, and these drawings completely cover the walls themselves.

Most of the protagonists of the drawings are a little boy wearing a beret and a striped shirt. He is active in different scenes: being chased by a group of Bowtruckles; holding a small wooden stick in his hand and constantly waving; Riding a one-horned rhinoceros, he excitedly turned his head to greet his companions; wearing a wizard cloak and standing on the roof of a farmhouse...

But Felix could also tell that these paintings were old, some of the drawings had faded in color, and a few in the corners were covered with purple mildew.

All this shows that this publishing house was once brilliant, but now it is a little bit down.

"Is anyone there? Mr. Andis?" Felix called.

After a long time, a door was pushed open from beside him. The door was hidden in layers of drawings, and Felix didn't notice it for a moment.

A thin, middle-aged wizard with an unshaven beard stared at him, and he asked in a heavily nasal voice: "Felix Hemp?"

"It's me, I think you are Mr. Andis? We have an appointment."

The wizard let go of the doorknob, "Come in, it's a bit messy inside." He backed away self-consciously.

Felix frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything. He followed the wizard into the room. There was an unpleasant smell inside, and all kinds of sundries were piled up randomly. He also saw a few plates in the corner. leftovers.

This made his scalp tingle, and he subconsciously wanted to Apparate out of here.

The only thing that gave him some relief was that he saw fresh paint and canvas in this place that could barely be regarded as a studio, and half of the drawings on it were very good.

He decided to take a closer look, but only if the room fit his aesthetics.

"Clean up! Clean up! Whirlwind!"

Felix waved his wand again and again to clean up all kinds of **** in the house. A sudden gust of wind raged repeatedly in the small room. , but the dust and grime on it were quickly stripped off, swept into the strong wind, and finally formed a turbid air mass.

He pushed open the window, and a silver swift flew out from the tip of his wand, "Do me a favor, I remember seeing a trash can when I came in." The swift nodded at him, flapped its wings and flew out of the window, behind Follow a long gray dragon.

"You, you..." The wizard named Andis stared at Felix dumbfounded, his tongue tied for a moment.

"Please sit down, Mr. Andis." Felix waved his wand and pushed the cleaned chair in front of him.

Andis sat down with a blank expression. He looked around, and it took him a while to realize, "This seems to be my home?"

Felix sat across from him, and said calmly: "Mr. Andis, let's make a long story short. Since you agreed to this visit, let me think that you have a demand for contributions from the outside world."

"As your potential partner, at least I have the right to ask you before you explicitly refuse."

"You..."

Felix tapped the ring with his wand, and a stack of sketches flew out from it, "This is my manuscript, "The Adventures of Little Wizard Mick", I mentioned it in my letter. You can read it first, and then It's up to you to decide whether we continue the dialogue. I don't want to waste the time of both parties."

The wizard on the opposite side held the drawing and looked at him with puzzled eyes.

"What are you waiting for?"

The wizard swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with a dry smile, "No, nothing."

He quickly looked down, and at the same time, he labeled Felix in his heart as a wizard with a strong personality.

The wizard decided to pick out a few shortcomings at random, and then quickly drive him away. If he is not satisfied, he will run to the street to ask for help...

As time passed, Andis became serious from being careless at the beginning. Various evaluations came out of his mouth from time to time.

"Not bad."

"It's interesting."

"What is this, a...wheel...isn't it magic?"

"My God, can two glasses of water turn red when poured together? I guess it's the effect of some kind of transparent potion."

I don't know when it started, he pulled the chair next to Felix and started discussing with him.

"I like this passage, I think it's very intelligent—"

Felix looked over, it was the scene of the little wizard Mick and his new Muggle friends going to the store to buy clothes:

"What should I say?" Looking at the dazzling array of clothes in the store, the little wizard Mick asked fearfully, "I don't understand at all. I'm a fool from the countryside."

"Don't worry, I don't understand either, but my mother told me a trick." His friend said.

The little wizard Mick looked at his companion and said confidently to the clerk: "My friend only has a budget of 15 pounds, but he needs a jacket, a pair of trousers, and a bow tie. You can do it." Ms.?"

The young clerk smiled and said, "Of course, little gentleman." She took a look at the figure of the little wizard Mick, and turned to get suitable clothes.

His companion smiled at the little wizard Mick, "How about it, isn't it difficult?"

…

After about half an hour, Felix asked him, "How do you feel?"

Andis' expression became shrewd. He quickly judged the value of this manuscript. After seven or eight minutes, he hesitated and said: "Frankly speaking, I'm not sure either."

He added: "Personally, this is a very interesting children's comic book, but I am not so confident in my vision. You can also see that this publishing house has indeed been brilliant, but since I After taking over, I failed more than a dozen times in a row. Finally, I had to release the 30th anniversary commemorative issue of the old book.”

"Mr. Andis, I haven't asked you yet, what do the three letters .A represent?" Felix asked.

"It's the abbreviation of the names of the three founders, the A of which is Andis, which was co-founded by my grandfather and his two good friends." The wizard said.

"Then your company's masterpiece "The Adventures of Martin Miggs"..."

"It was my grandfather's idea, and it can be regarded as his personal experience. When he was a child, he once hosted a Muggle boy who strayed into the wizarding world. They played happily for a week. Then it was discovered. The staff of the Ministry of Magic erased the boy's memory and sent him back to his home."

Felix nodded knowingly. He took out several parchments from the ring, which were filled with various forms and data. Parchment fluttered and stuck to the wall.

"Mr. Andis, I can't prove that this manuscript will definitely help your publishing house turn around, but we can analyze from the data that your company has published a total of 17 sets of comics since its establishment. The Adventures of Miggs is the most famous, and I got some data from my friend who is in charge of publications in the Ministry of Magic, and it is obvious that relatively novel content will be more popular..."

"At the same time, this manuscript, which is positioned as a children's publication, does not appear young and naive, and is also very friendly to adults. If you want, we can cooperate."

Andis actually doesn't have much choice, unless he wants to continue to eat the leftovers from thirty years ago.

So when Felix gave him a reasonable reason, he agreed naturally. Their original plan was very conservative, and they would publish a hundred books first to test the waters. Even if they failed, it would not hurt ~IndoMTL.com~ At best, it was just a waste of time for Andis, but the last thing he lacks now is time.

After the cooperation was finalized, Andis showed him his ancestral craftsmanship. He daubed and changed one of Felix's drawings, and tapped with a magic wand. Soon, the entire picture was filled With the addition of color, the drawing has become more refined.

In the picture, a little boy is standing on a huge Ferris wheel, stepping on the window and looking down. Beside him is a half-gnawed vanilla ice cream floating in the air.

Half an hour later, Felix walked out of Building A, feeling very happy.

He was going to return to the office by the communal fireplace in Diagon Alley, saving him from apparating to the edge of the Forbidden Forest and walking some distance. But at this moment——

"Professor Haipu?"

Felix turned his head and saw a familiar figure in the crowd. He said in surprise, "Potter?"
