MTL - The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts-v4 Chapter 164 Big Win (2 in 1)
, the fastest update to the latest chapter on the day of the Hogwarts draw!
In the face of Rita's attack, Harry didn't panic, which was what he had expected. He just calmly compiled the letters from supporters or victims of Rita Skeeter from all over the world, and then replied to them one by one to collect evidence.
Regardless of Rita Skeeter's clamour, Harry huddled in the editorial office to write. But he didn't say nothing, he just released news and would respond to Ms. Skeeter on the second bedtime message.
Although Harry only shared the news with his classmates around him, what was Hogwarts? It was the only wizarding school in the British wizarding world. Announcing a news here is equivalent to opening a press conference. In less than a day, word spread throughout the wizarding world that Harry was going to face Hall Skeeter head-on in the next bedtime news.
One is the boy who survived the catastrophe, and the other is the poisonous rose of the Daily Prophet. The confrontation between the two can definitely be called Mars hitting the earth. This time, the entire magic world was a sensation.
Originally, Voldemort shrank his forces, the Death Eaters ceased activities, and the Triwizard Tournament was in the off-season of the first and second events, and the wizarding world as a whole was in a calm state. As a result, now Harry and Rita have come up with such a big drama, which has brought a lot of fun to a quiet life. So everyone turned their attention to the online matchup of these two, eating melons collectively.
On the weekends, when the second bedtime news came out, it was almost instantly snapped up by the students waiting outside the press room.
Although the editors in the editorial department were prepared and doubled the amount of printing, there were still many little wizards in the back who did not receive it.
The reason for this is simple: some students at the top of the line received more than one copy. They have to read a copy for themselves and send a copy back to the family. This is a double copy. If there are many relatives, they will have to take more.
This situation really aroused the dissatisfaction of the little wizards who did not receive the newspaper.
"Hey, why do you guys take so much by yourself?" A senior Slytherin grabbed a third-year Gryffindor by the collar and dragged him over.
He snatched the newspaper from his hand and counted it carefully, there were actually four copies, which made him even more angry when he was empty-handed.
"This... I have a lot of people in my family..." The Gryffindor student knew he was wrong, and lowered his head and didn't dare to talk to his senior.
"But I didn't get any of it!" The catcher was Lucian Pohl, a batsman for the Slytherin Quidditch team. Out of anger, the already big man appeared taller, standing there like a gorilla with muscle bulges in his chest and arms.
"It's because of people like you that I stand in line here for nothing!" Lucien clenched his fists.
The Gryffindor student who was stopped was already frightened, and he said quickly: "Then take these copies—"
"Of course!" Lucian glared at him, kept two copies for himself, and then shoved the remaining two copies to his friend Perry King Derek.
"Wait a minute, I-" The student wanted to say something, but he shut his mouth after Lucian glared at him.
"What are you, what are you, what are I, there's so much nonsense!" Lucien pushed the little boy and was about to leave with the newspaper.
Angelina on the side couldn't stand it anymore, she stood up and stopped the two of Lucien.
"You are going too far!" Angelina was indignant. "It's a little wrong for him to take so many copies, but you should at least keep one for him!"
Angelina is an old acquaintance of Lucian and Perry King, as Slytherin Quidditch players and Angelina of the Gryffindor team also have deep grievances. So they naturally said unceremoniously that this was a small lesson, and wanted them to return a copy? There are no doors!
"Then what do you mean? You say that you won't let others take more, but you have two for yourself?" Angelina pointed to the newspaper in their hands and said loudly.
The quarrel of several people attracted the attention of the onlookers. They pointed and pointed not far away, explaining what happened to the people who did not know the truth.
Soon, the little wizards who were watching were divided into two factions. One faction thinks that the people of Slytherin are really domineering, and they will find the weak to vent their anger if they don't get it.
Interestingly, the former mostly received newspapers, while the latter mostly did not have newspapers.
For a time, the corridor was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Seeing that he and his friends seemed to be on the cusp of being pushed into the limelight, Lucien turned his head and immediately shoved the two extra newspapers to other Slytherin Academy students.
"You have nothing to say now, right?" Lucien praised his wit and said triumphantly.
"Why don't you give the newspapers in the order of the team? You are giving all Slytherin students now, which is equivalent to them robbing other people's newspapers!" Angelina didn't want to let Lucian go. At this time, the number of Gryffindor boys attracted by the noise was also increasing, which gave her more confidence.
"Are you looking for trouble?" Lucian was angry, his hand was already on his wand, and the next thing was not a quarrel over his mouth, and Slytherin's students were also approaching him.
"Flying newspapers!" A female voice suddenly interrupted the accumulation of anger on both sides.
Hermione, who suddenly appeared, grabbed the newspaper with the Flying Charm.
"Granger, what are you going to do?" Lucian was furious, but he was afraid of Hermione and her boyfriend Tom Yodell, so he didn't dare to say anything too serious, for fear that his talk would be good today and he would be invited tomorrow. Del sent to the crematorium.
"Double copies!" Hermione tapped the newspaper in her hand with her wand, and the newspaper suddenly turned into two copies. "It will return to its original shape in a while, but it's enough for you to read."
Hermione shoved the copied newspaper into Lucian's hands.
"Please, we're wizards!" She rolled her eyes and left the scene of the conflict, when Harry and Luna also arrived with the urgently printed newspaper.
A conflict disappeared without a trace.
However, the students' conflicts are easy to resolve, and the conflict between Harry and Rita Skeeter cannot be solved by a copying spell.
Open the second issue of bedtime news, you can see that Harry wrote in bold characters: [dog bark]
This title is hard not to be reminiscent of Rita Skeeter's theory of "smashing the dog barking by stone", just by looking at the title, you can smell the strong smell of gunpowder.
Angelina, who got the newspaper, didn't care about quarreling with the Slytherin students, she hurriedly turned to the article Harry responded and read it.
[I don't know if Ms. Rita Skeeter thought seriously before writing that sentence, isn't she the one who is barking the loudest now? Then according to her theory, she must have been hit by a stone. 】
Looking at the opening sentence, Angelina laughed, and the group of Gryffindor students around her also seemed very happy.
The conflict between Harry and Rita just broke out, and Rita Skeeter had not had time to launch a public opinion offensive to brainwash passers-by, so the little wizards in Gryffindor subconsciously chose to support their classmate Harry Potter. After all, Rita was as false as her article, while Harry was real. His performance in the past four years is in everyone's eyes. Compared with the two, the students are naturally more inclined towards Harry.
After fighting back at the beginning, Harry began to output content.
[Aunt Skeeter's statement is actually not wrong. If a person is offended by a statement, it means that the statement refers to something that he cares about. If you don't care, how can you be angry?
But the problem we are facing now is: only a small group of people have the right to throw "stones", and even if they throw the wrong person, they will not be blamed, let alone held accountable. This part of "people" has the right to treat other people as "dogs", which I don't think is right. Before throwing stones, you should be cautious and cautious, if you accidentally hurt someone, you should also apologize or deprive it of the right to throw stones. 】
Harry's words aroused everyone's thinking.
"What a dog, a stone," Ron scratched his head. "Aren't you talking about that old witch Rita Skeeter?"
"Harry thinks there should be monitoring and review of the manuscripts sent by reporters like Rita." Angelina explained to Ron, "Harry also found several examples of Rita's interviews with others. Once wantonly fabricated facts to gain attention and cause trouble to others - these characters will be tracked and reported in the next few bedtime news!"
The second issue of bedtime news stirred up a thousand waves and caused extremely heated discussions in the wizarding world. From Hogwarts to Hogsmeade, from the Ministry of Magic to ordinary wizarding settlements, everyone was discussing whether to restrict reporters their power.
"Reporters have too much power!"
"But if the speech is controlled, will it cause the failure of public opinion supervision?"
The debate between the pros and cons has intensified, and even the Ministry of Magic is discussing whether to establish a department to control the speech on the Daily Prophet.
Wizards at the Ministry of Magic are naturally welcome, and they feel that the more power they have in their hands, the better. The strength that can be supported is as great as the voice of opposition. The reason why many people object is simple: if journalists become the echoes of Ministry of Magic officials, only to sing praises, what should they do with the public opinion monitoring that should be carried out by them?
The two sides quarreled, and they were completely deadlocked, and things went to a deadlock.
But no matter the outcome, Hogwarts' school newspaper: Bedtime News was a complete hit. Emails have been pouring in from all over the UK asking Harry if he could order bedtime messages.
To this, Harry's response was of course, and gave a very low price, the price of each bedtime message was the same as that of the Daily Prophet, only one nut.
This amount of money is enough to buy some snacks for the owl postman. The main source of funding for bedtime messages is the ads at the end of the article.
At the same time that Bedtime News spread throughout the British wizarding world, Weasley's Witchcraft and Wizardry also spread throughout the wizarding world on the back page of the newspaper. Many people know that Hogwarts has a pair of Weasley children who run a joke shop.
This made Mrs. Weasley angrily half-dead, and she sacrificed her trump card: the roar letter, but this thing has a very limited effect on Fred and George. Years of scrambling and scrambling have made the two of them more cheeky than Hogg Watts' walls are still thick. So they swept up the ashes of the roaring letter on the table as if they were nothing, and then told their classmates that they had a 10% discount on all items recently.
The two of them are already at the point of breaking the pot, and their mother will not kill Hogwarts. What are they afraid of? Of course, you still have to be careful when trading, as many items are listed on the banned items list at Hogwarts.
In the days following the roaring letter, Filch kept a very close eye on the two of them. But it didn't help. Fred and George had a hundred secret deals, so Filch didn't stop the two from making a lot of money.
In view of the fierce reaction of their mother, Fred and George have made a decision...that they will not return to the Burrow this summer! It may be a good choice to contract a small shop or a small stall in Diagon Alley.
As for the start-up capital, Fred and George figured they could save enough by the end of the school year, and even better if they could get back Bagman's debt.
Due to the exposure brought by advertising delivery, Weasley's Magic Tricks Workshop made a lot of money, which also made more shops turn their attention to this nascent newspaper, Lichen Bookstore, Three Brooms, Honey Duke... The application for advertisements from various stores has come one after another, bringing a lot of income to "Bedtime News", and these income will be used for the distribution of manuscript fees and the daily operation of the newspaper.
A positive cycle is thus established, and Harry's newspaper is gradually on the right track.
While bedtime news has risen to fame, its stepping stone, Rita Skeeter, hasn't been so lucky.
A large number of wizards who had been slandered by her before appeared and liquidated her. The reckoning came to an end only when Rita was forced to publicly announce her temporary withdrawal from the press. But soon, Rita received a summons from the Ministry of Magic, and Hogwarts sued Rita Skeeter at Wizengamore, asking her to explain her article about Hagrid's life. Information Sources.
Hogwarts will not wrong a good person~www.novelbuddy.com~ and will not let a bad person go. Since Rita, you said that Hagrid is a half-blooded giant, then you can show the evidence! Even if she can hand over the evidence, there is still a hurdle waiting for her - Rita was barred from entering Hogwarts for news activities, so how did she get this evidence?
The lawsuit was enough to make Rita Skeeter feel so devastated that she didn't have time to talk about it in the Daily Prophet.
With Rita Skeeter's misfire, the magic world calmed down again, and the turmoil in Hogwarts gradually subsided.
The peaceful days passed by day by day, and when the calendar turned to February, the second event of the Triwizard Tournament also arrived as scheduled.
