Rita Skeeter, holding a crocodile leather handbag, stepped into the headquarters of the Daily Prophet and greeted the short man sitting at the table drinking coffee.
"Any news today?"
"Someone revealed to us that dementors broke into Hogwarts without the permission of the Ministry of Magic. Dumbledore seemed very angry." Bozzo took out a piece of parchment from the pile of documents next to him and read out the words on it.
Content, "However, the Ministry of Magic has temporarily blocked the information, and the specific situation is unknown."
"anything else?"
Rita Skeeter took the coffee from her colleague, said thank you, and listened carefully to Bozo's story that was worthy of her further exploration.
"There is news about Black again. Someone saw Black outside London again. However, Black had already escaped before the people from the Ministry of Magic rushed over." Bozo continued, "Hogwarts Hippogriff has wings.
Mr. Lucius Malfoy plans to make a formal complaint about the incident of beast attacking students, and hopes that the matter will be handed over to the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures. We can go and interview Mr. Malfoy."
"What's the news about Albert Anderson?" Rita Skeeter asked after drinking the cup of coffee in her hand. "The Wizengamot doesn't intend to grant him the title of 'Wizengamot British Youth Representative'
?”
Rita Skeeter believes that Albert Anderson, who has won two international awards, is fully qualified for this. If he is not qualified, then no one really is.
"It seems that there is such a thing." Bozo's eyes fell behind the parchment and he said softly: "However, many people don't want everyone to know about this matter."
"This is your share."
With that said, Bozo took out an envelope from the drawer and silently handed it to Rita Skeeter.
"It's really rare. I haven't received this for a long time. The quantity is more than I thought." Rita Skeeter stuffed the envelope into her crocodile leather handbag and asked curiously, "What's the reason?"
"That genius seems to be a Muggle wizard." Bozo lowered his voice for fear that others would hear.
"What the hell."
Rita Skeeter looked like you were kidding me.
"Are you really sure that guy is a Muggle wizard?"
"Isn't it?" Bozo asked confused.
Intuition told Rita Skeeter that there must be something wrong with Albert Anderson, and he was definitely not a so-called Muggle wizard.
A Muggle-born wizard couldn't reach such a high level, but she didn't dare to dig out that guy's identity. She felt that if she really dug it out, she might be dead.
He is a ruthless character, the kind who should not be provoked if possible.
Look, the unlucky President Bernard is not having an easy time now. Since the cheating was revealed, the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists has been unable to suppress the doubts about him.
"The other person is very generous," Bozo reminded kindly, "don't discuss this matter anymore."
"I understand the rules, you continue."
Rita Skeeter didn't intend to get involved. This was probably a fight between two factions, and getting involved would not end well.
"Exclusive interview with the Irish team. Their newly launched Firebolts are the favorites to win the Quidditch World Cup next year."
"Thunderbolt Company has launched a flying broomstick that it claims can compete with the Firebolt series, but it seems to have encountered some trouble during testing, and there is no suitable finished product yet."
"anything else?"
"Do you think you have received a few more letters without addressees?" Bozo asked with a smile: "What do you plan to start with?"
"We can go interview Mr. Lucius Malfoy." Rita Skeeter said without thinking, "I think the other party will definitely welcome us."
After saying that, Rita Skeeter returned to her desk and wrote to Lucius Malfoy to make an appointment for an interview in the afternoon.
Her eyes swept over the letters on the table, picking out those without senders.
Well, even if there was a sender, Rita Skeeter would be particularly careful when opening a letter.
no way.
Rita Skeeter often receives some malicious letters, most of which contain curses or envelopes with malicious intent against her. The best option is to burn these things directly.
However, one of the letters attracted Rita Skeeter's attention, because the envelope said: Dementors rioted, the savior almost fell to death, and there were photos inside.
All right!
After seeing the letter and the news she just heard, Rita Skeeter guessed who might have sent the letter. She took out an honesty detector and checked the letter to make sure there was no spell on it before giving it to herself.
Put on dragon skin gloves, open the envelope with a letter opener, and take out the letter and photo inside.
The content on the letter was very short. It simply introduced the cause, process and results of the incident. However, this information was enough for Rita Skeeter, especially the few photos, which were solid evidence.
.
As for the reputation of the Ministry of Magic, who cares?
At least, Rita Skeeter didn't care, it wasn't the first time she had done this, and people had a right to know what was going on.
What's more, Rita Skeeter couldn't resist such big news.
What a dangerous guy!
Rita Skeeter couldn't help but sigh, and began to immerse herself in writing this matter, while questioning the authority of the Ministry of Magic.
These things came easily to Rita Skeeter; a quarter of them were true and the remaining three-quarters were pure fabrications.
It only took an hour to complete the preliminary draft of the manuscript.
"Bozo, please bring these two photos and this manuscript to the editor-in-chief. I think this bombshell news is more suitable to become today's headline news. We have to get this matter settled before the Ministry of Magic comes to their senses, lest they
The Daily Prophet is prohibited from publishing this report."
"Where did you get the news?"
Bozzo was very shocked by the content of the report. Although he also knew that most of what Rita Skeeter wrote was false, the two photos attached were still very convincing.
Although the photo is a bit blurry, it can still be seen that it is Hogwarts School.
"I don't know either, but the person who sent me the letter obviously didn't need to lie. After all, he even prepared photos." Rita Skeeter didn't think Albert would deliberately tease her.
"Now, Fudge is probably going to be in big trouble." Bozo muttered.
"No, he won't."
Rita Skeeter knew Fudge well. After being the Minister of Magic for several years, the guy was already very familiar with dealing with these things.
The editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, Barnabas Guffey, seized the opportunity very well. While everyone was flipping through the newspaper, he suddenly changed the headlines of the Daily Prophet. This caught the Ministry of Magic off guard.
Before anyone could react, everyone knew that the dementors broke into Hogwarts out of control and attacked Harry.
Fudge knew about this, but someone still sent a letter scolding him for causing Harry's death.
In Rita Skeeter's writing, Harry, the savior, seems to have fallen to his death.
After Fudge read it, he was so angry that he locked himself in his office and smashed things. No matter how you looked at it, this was a dereliction of duty on his part.
Of course, Fudge wouldn't admit that this was his problem, not to mention that Harry Potter wasn't dead at all.
Fudge is very experienced in how to deal with this matter.
He was the Minister of Magic, so he just had to ignore it gently and ensure that dementors would not appear in Hogwarts again, and that was the end of the matter.
He would receive some criticism, but Fudge didn't mind. He had long been used to it.
However, Fudge didn't know that all of this was actually what Albert had expected. The other party also dug a hole for him and prepared to kick him into it.
