Hogwarts: Harry Returns From The Witcher

According to Luna's letter to Hermione, it was the first time she had seen her father so happy that she dislocated her jaw from laughing, and several spells failed to heal it.

That issue of The Quibbler sold five hundred copies that day--only that, because Lovegood was only printing five hundred copies.

Orders came in a cascade.

Lovegood sleeps with his magic printing press in his arms every day.

Rita Skeeter just throws out a short story of less than four hundred words.

"Who's Lying?" Potter, who is full of lies, or Fudge, who is honest and honest? "

In this article, Rita objectively described the "fair" treatment she received in the "Daily Prophet", and finally had to resign. No magazine in the entire wizarding world dared to take her in, except for this stupid and crazy magazine.

And the most crucial sentence: "The author always felt that the Ministry of Magic was hiding something. They condemned Mr. Potter's murder, but they never sent Aurors to arrest Potter. They just made some pointless condemnations."

"If Mr. Potter is really a murderer, can the Ministry of Magic allow the murderer to escape, can it really protect us ordinary people as they promised?"

"Of course, let's put aside the misguided thinking of the "Daily Prophet" and rethink this matter. The author combined the evidence given to me by some friends and came up with a very scary and frightening thought."

"During the period of being expelled, the author has been trembling with fear. That thought once made me give up continuing to be a reporter and find a job, even if I went to Hogwarts as a castle administrator to spend my life safely. "

"But the morality of being a reporter has always tormented me who wanted to give up. In the end, with the encouragement of my friends, I stood up again."

The article stops here.

Rita didn't say anything about that conjecture, about those facts, just released a few pictures.

In the photos of some corpses, they all have one thing in common, that is, on the left arm, they all have an extremely obvious tattoo - an extremely clear and complete Dark Mark.

Twelve chapters of photos occupy two pages.

Rita said nothing.

But said nothing.

The Daily Prophet once clearly reported that twelve people were brutally murdered in Little Hangleton on a rainy night.

And now twelve different arms with twelve Dark Marks on them.

mean what?

The Ministry of Magic knew everything, why didn't they arrest Harry? It was because they knew very well that Mr. Potter was not guilty. What would happen to the savior who survived the catastrophe under the hands of the mysterious man and the Death Eater with the Dark Mark tattooed on it?

Especially that night, he was still forced to be teleported there by the Portkey.

Death Eaters and Mr. Potter.

There is no doubt that Mr. Potter must be the innocent one.

So what does this mean?

The Ministry of Magic trying to hide the identities of those Death Eaters?

In Black's old house, Hermione put down the magazine in her hand and glanced at Rita: "Miss Skeeter is really amazing."

Rita pursed her lips and smiled proudly: "Of course, Miss Granger, I am a professional in this regard."

"Readers want information, but they don't need complete information."

"They all think that they are smart people with a sound mind, but not everyone is really smart like you and Mr. Potter—just give them limited clues and let them "think" by themselves. A result."

"They will firmly believe that the results they come up with must be true."

Rita emphasized the word "thinking."

She solemnly picked up the cup and took a sip: "If the facts they think happen to be consistent with the real facts, they will be unscrupulous and hate those who have fooled them and led them to another result."

"Those who cheat will always get backlash."

Harry glanced at her.

Rita's face immediately became sincere: "Just like me, I wanted to cheat, but was caught by Mr. Potter. Fortunately, he and the great Professor Dumbledore influenced me, so that I would not continue to make mistakes step by step."

Hermione gave a cold, heartless laugh.

"How's the second story going to be written?" Harry asked.

Rita was not in a hurry to answer, and tentatively asked, "Mr. Potter, when are you planning to go to the Ministry of Magic?"

"Dumbledore said it was the day before school started," Harry answered her.

Rita proudly raised her chest: "Then Mr. Potter, let's look forward to the report that day."

Harry made no comment.

He may also ask about other matters, but when it comes to news reports, Rita has the highest right to speak.

"By the way, how are the traces of Legnac and Fenrir Greyback going?" He put down his fork and asked.

Rita froze.

"Didn't you check?" Harry said calmly.

"Mr. Potter, I've been busy looking for a new house recently." Rita explained stammeringly, "Some former readers refused to accept my articles and often sent some dangerous things to my home."

"Some time ago, someone broke into my house. Fortunately, I became an Animagus in advance, so I escaped."

“And writing new reports is tiring”

"Only three hundred and twenty-eight words," interrupted Hermione.

Rita quibbles: "Miss Granger, the thoughts you use to write an article can't be counted by the number of words. It is short but effective. Some reporters spit out thousands of words, which is far less than my hundreds of words, tens of thousands of words. A few photos came out well."

Harry nodded: "You've worked hard, Miss Skeeter."

"But Legnac is as important as Fenrir Greyback."

Rita shrank her head: "Yes, I know, Mr. Potter, I will work hard."

Werewolf tracks are always easy to catch.

Especially Fenrir Greyback.

He usually doesn't have much brains, and when the moon is full, he will leave everything behind and try his best to attack the wizard cubs—although people have become more and more defensive against him over the years, he still Don't give up, try hard to try as much as possible.

Half a year ago, Rita could still hear rumors every month that Greyback had reappeared somewhere in Great Britain, causing a bloodbath.

but now.

She could find few traces of the werewolf, and Greyback, who had been quiet for months, had suddenly disappeared, as if dead.

Not in Knockturn Alley.

The most notorious werewolf gathering places did not exist either.

This made the members of the Order of the Phoenix a little uneasy. The disappearance of the black magic creatures and rebel fairies always made them feel that there was some bloody storm brewing in this peaceful and peaceful place.

The last day of August.

It's been a long time since Dumbledore showed up in the Order of the Phoenix.

"Harry, let's go." Standing in the foyer with a magazine in his hand, Dumbledore greeted Harry.

Harry walked over and took the magazine: "New report from Rita?"

Dumbledore nodded with a smile: "I used to hate her very much, but now I like her a little bit."

"Miss Skeeter will be pleasantly surprised to hear that." Harry walked out the door with a blank expression on his face.

Dumbledore shook his head: "I'm glad she's back on track again."

Harry flipped through the magazine.

Front page is Rita's new article: "Interview with Walton McNeil - Life of an Executioner"

This article is very long.

But the last sentence caught the hearts of almost all viewers: "Walton McNeill, an executioner in the Department of Magical Beast Management and Control of the Ministry of Magic, and the Committee for Handling Dangerous Animals, is ordinary, but he is also a small A dead person on that rainy night at Hangleton."

The rest of the long talk will be about his life in the Ministry of Magic—when did he enter the Ministry of Magic, what role did he play when the mysterious man first ravaged, why he escaped trial, and why he stayed in the Ministry of Magic all the time. Work in the Ministry of Magic.

Rita said nothing.

She didn't sue the Ministry of Magic, or Walton McNeil, she just objectively reported what happened to Walton McNeil.

But that's the best indictment.

The minds of wizards who have read this report are filled with several questions.

Why do people like this stay in the Ministry of Magic?

Is it because the Ministry of Magic is covering up the identities of these people because there are more Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic?

even

Is the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, the culprit of manipulation, also their accomplice?

The news has just been published and has not yet fermented, but according to the news from Rita, more than 600 copies of this issue of the magazine have been sold, and orders are coming in one after another.

foreseeable.

The "approval rate" that Fudge is most concerned about is about to usher in a cliff-like decline.

Wait until Harry reads the report.

Dumbledore grabbed his wrist, waved his wand, Apparated, and with a snap, they appeared on a bleak path surrounded by dilapidated buildings - it was hard to imagine seeing Big Ben in the distance, There are still such abandoned places in this city.

"Can't Apparate in the Ministry?" Harry asked.

Dumbledore shook his head: "Of course, but as the first visit, I think it is necessary to take you through the process, and it will be more formal."

"Respect to those people?" Harry sneered.

Dumbledore shook his head again: "It's to show respect for myself, Harry."

He led Harry to a dilapidated red phone booth with peeling paint and opened the door.

Harry went in, Dumbledore followed, and closed the door.

Dumbledore picked up the phone, frowned and thought: "Let me think about it, what number do you want to dial?"

"62442?"

Harry raised his eyebrows. Three letters form a group, and this string of numbers can just spell the word "magic".

The dial whimpered and turned back.

An ethereal female voice sounded from all directions in the phone booth, similar to Luna's voice, but more indifferent: "Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, please tell me your name and what you are here to do."

Dumbledore said softly into the microphone: "Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, led Harry Potter, a student of Hogwarts Gryffindor College, for June 24 Late events come."

Harry added: "Also, Harry Potter, come and collect the debt."
