As the editor-in-chief of the bedtime news, Harry was completely unaware of the appearance of the house elf. He just got up as usual, and then saw the piles of house elves on the table in the common room.
"Merlin, have you really done that?" Ron knew that Harry was working on running a newspaper with Luna Lovegood recently, and he also helped Harry with some chores.
He submitted an article! But when the newspaper actually appeared in front of him, he still felt a strong sense of unreality in his heart.
Because this newspaper really looks too much like a newspaper, too serious!
Ron originally thought that what he got would be a "newspaper" like a test paper, but what Harry made actually looked similar to the one he made! This was very shocking.
"Let me see where my article is..." After a brief moment of surprise, Ron excitedly flipped through the school newspaper founded by Harry. He had submitted an article to it!
"Found it - the glory never ends, the great Chudley Artillery Corps! The position given is quite good!" Ron saw his article occupying a whole page after turning a few pages, and couldn't help but be very happy.
The other side of deep space is updated in seconds. Masters can remember in one second: m .j h s s d . c o m!
After his article is Harry's current political commentary.
"Is it necessary to supervise the media? Good guy, you are pointing the finger directly at Rita Skeeter..." Ron immediately saw the hidden meaning of Harry's article.
"We believe that this kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable, and I will not name the person who made these remarks, even though it was a special correspondent for the Daily Prophet." He pointed to one of the sentences and said: "
This is so much fun! It will become a famous quote for you.”
After reading it, Ron was a little worried: "But aren't you afraid that Rita will cause trouble for you?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of," Harry shook his head. "Controversy is where the heat comes from. More importantly, the people I care about will not change their views on me just because of a few words in the Daily Prophet."
Ron smacked his lips and was noncommittal. He felt that in a few days, a debate would break out between the Daily Prophet, the Bedtime News, Rita Skeeter and Harry Potter.
But so what?
Ron felt that Harry was right. No matter how great Rita's influence was, it was only limited to newspapers, and the people Harry cherished most - such as himself, would not be influenced by what was said in newspapers.??
What's more, Rita Skeeter's unscrupulous speech over the years has offended too many people. Do you really think they have no grievances? They just don't have a channel to resolve it.
The first bedtime message
The content wasn't too much, so Ron quickly turned to the end. He looked at Filch's article and muttered, "Harry, you are so considerate, you were worried that we wouldn't have enough toilet paper."
Harry laughed, and Ron turned to the end, looking at the various products from Wes's Wizarding Wheezes with great interest.
"Oh, right!" Harry slapped his forehead. When he saw the advertisement, he remembered that he had forgotten to pay the authors of the article royalties. He took out two Sickles from his wallet and stuffed them into Ron's hand.
"This is your royalties." Harry said with some embarrassment.
Ron:?
He looked at the two coins in his palm with some disbelief.
"What the hell?"
"If you publish an article on Bedtime News, you will get a share of the royalties from the advertising fee. Of course, it is a bit small now, but I believe-"
"That's not what I meant." Seeing that Harry seemed to have misunderstood something, Ron quickly clarified: "I just didn't expect that writing can actually make money."
"Creative incentives!" Harry spread his hands: "Without enough incentives, how can anyone be motivated to submit a manuscript?"
Ron held the two Sickles he had earned and smiled happily.
"In this case, I will write more."
…
The bedtime news gradually spread in Hogwarts. The young wizards flipped through this brand-new publication, and many of them became very interested in the contents.
However, even if they are interested in Bedtime News, it does not change the fact that Bedtime News is only a newspaper whose influence is limited to Hogwarts.
But an accident made it popular and became known to everyone in the magic world.
The accident was Rita Skeeter.
The wizarding world is a small circle, and Harry's article was finally seen by her, and she became extremely angry.
She had criticized many people in her life, but almost no one dared to talk back, let alone write an article in the newspaper to fight back. The reporter from the Daily Prophet felt that she should teach Harry a small lesson and let him understand a truth.
That is, after being scolded by her, Rita Skeeter, the only thing that should be done is to reflect on it.
So, the day after seeing that report, a very bitter response appeared in the Daily Prophet. In this report, Rita Skeeter described Harry's work at Hogwarts.
She revealed that she had published a newspaper and said it was the most ridiculous publication she had ever seen. The second most ridiculous thing was that Dumbledore was really stupid to do such a solemn and sacred work.
Leave it to a little boy to do it. Then she said that supervision of the media is a blasphemy to freedom. This is an atrocity that no mysterious person has ever done.
I have to say that Rita is indeed a person who is good at playing with pens. She wrote an astonishing sentence at the end of the article: A stone is thrown into a group of dogs. If a dog barks, it must have been hit.
Rita's counterattack was sharp and sharp, but it also had an objective consequence: she let more people know that Hogwarts runs a newspaper called Bedtime News.
Many adult wizards have sent letters to their nephews and nephews at Hogwarts, hoping that they will send back the Hogwarts school newspaper for them to read. They
I am very curious about how the "dog" that was hit by the stone "barked".
All of a sudden, Harry's business became a hot commodity. At the same time, many people who had been slandered by Rita Skeeter also wrote letters to the editorial board of Bedtime News to express their support for them.
