Chapter 536 Bagman and Krum

In addition to the latest article in the Daily Prophet, Sirius also took out a thick stack of letters... all of which Dumbledore asked him to bring.

To a certain extent, Rita Skeeter's report was not a problem, because there were indeed many graduated students who believed that Dumbledore could not expel Hagrid and sent letters.

What Sirius brought this time was part of it. Dumbledore had more, but he hadn't had time to read them all.

The article and the letter finally allowed Hagrid to regain his confidence.

"Thank you... thank you."

He patted Sirius' shoulder gratefully and said, "I think I have to go back quickly. The first period in the afternoon is the fourth grade Care of Magical Creatures class, and I haven't prepared anything yet."

"Aren't you going to finish your lunch here?" Kyle asked.

"No, there's not enough time..."

With that, Hagrid strode out of the hall in a hurry.

"Hagrid should really realize how strong he is." Sirius rubbed his shoulders and whispered beside him.

The blow just now didn't break his arm, and he could hear the crisp sound of the bones.

"How are you..." Kyle looked at him amusedly, "Do you want to go to the school hospital?"

"No need, I'm not that fragile yet." Sirius waved his hand, "By the way, how are you preparing for your second project.

"Professor Dumbledore has been so busy these days that no one can be seen. He is probably preparing the venue for the competition."

"Hmm... not bad." Kyle shrugged.

"That's good." Sirius also patted Kyle on the shoulder, "I believe you can defeat them, especially Durmstrang. I really want to see what Karkaroff's expression will be then."

With that, Sirius also left the hall.

Kyle and Connor walked into the auditorium together.

"That Rita Skeeter actually spoke for Hagrid." Connor sat on the chair, "Your guess is absolutely correct."

"Of course," Kyle said, ladling the stew into a bowl. "As I said, Rita Skeeter is a smart person. She can guess what we want her to do."

"Then will you send the photo to the Ministry of Magic?" Connor asked.

"Why do you think so." Kyle looked at her in surprise.

"After all, you didn't promise her, right?" Kangna blinked, "I remember clearly that you just said you were in a good mood so you wouldn't publish the photos, instead of putting in a good word for Hagrid."

"Well... although what you said makes sense, after I thought about it carefully, I still think it's better to keep the photo for now. After all, I am a warrior now and represent Hogwarts. I can't do anything without conscience. right."

Kangna raised an eyebrow.

If it was three or four years ago, she might have really believed what Kyle said, but it was different now... She didn't believe a word of it.

"What are you planning again?"

"Not really, I promise." Kyle said, and then quickly added, "At least not yet."

"So, that won't be the case in the future?" said Connor. Somehow, she began to sympathize with Rita Skeeter.

Who was the last person Kyle was obsessed with...oh, by the way, the mouse named Peter Pettigrew.

If he hadn't tried to exonerate Sirius, he would have almost never changed again.

"But speaking of this, you also reminded me." Kyle patted his forehead, took out a piece of parchment from his pocket, and turned it into an envelope.

Kyle wrote Rita Skeeter's name on the envelope and stuffed ten galleons inside.

Then Kyle whistled and Raton flew in from the outside.

"Can you take it to the newspaper office for me?"

Laton nodded, grabbed the envelope and flew out of the small window under the ceiling.

Looking at Kyle's movements, Kangna asked with confusion on her face: "What are you doing for Rita Skeeter Kingalon?"

"Of course it's the reward this time." Kyle said, "Photos are only one aspect. If you want to establish a better cooperative relationship, appropriate benefits are also essential.

Only in this way, she will be more attentive when writing articles. Anyway, it is only ten galleons, not much. "

"Are you going to ask her to write an article for the Daily Prophet again?" Kangna asked.

"Otherwise." Kyle took a bite of Yorkshire pudding. "Aside from the large audience for the article, does she have any other use?"

Kang Na was a little speechless. Just now Kyle said that he had no other plans, but the result changed in the blink of an eye.

"There is no conflict." Kyle saw her thoughts and explained: "It's always right to prepare it first. Who knows when it will be used."

…

Mid-January is the first Hogsmeade week after school starts.

Kyle did not go to Zuko with Fred and George, but went straight to Devis Bans. He wanted to see if this store had any novel magic items.

But unfortunately, the shop owner seemed to have never been out again. Kyle spent a long time shopping and only bought a few exploding beans.

Although the power of this thing is somewhat small, it can still be used to scare people.

Kyle later found the others, and Cedric offered to go sit with the Three Broomsticks.

The tavern was as crowded as usual. Hagrid was sitting on the bar, drinking with Sirius. There were several empty bottles in front of him, and he had obviously been drinking for a while.

Sirius opposite him must have drunk too much, and his body was swaying, as if he might pass out drunk at any time.

"Oh, why is he here too..." Fred suddenly pointed to the mirror behind the bar, "There is no event for the Triwizard Tournament now, so there shouldn't be a need for a referee."

Kyle looked up and saw Ludo Bagman's figure reflected in the mirror. He was saying something in a low voice, and opposite him sat several goblins with their arms crossed and looking menacing.

"What do you think they are talking about?" George asked.

"I don't know, but his current situation should not be good. The goblin seems to be quite angry." Fred said.

"Tell me, should we get back Dad's Galleons?" George suddenly became angry. "That liar... Fortunately we didn't place a bet at that time. He didn't even pay Dad's Galleons, and he certainly wouldn't pay. Give us a bet..."

Just as the two were talking, the door of the tavern was opened again, and Harry, Hermione, and Ron walked in from the outside.

Not long after, Krum of Durmstrang also arrived.

At this time, Bagman suddenly abandoned the goblin opposite him and ran over in a hurry.

"Oh, Victor, I'm so glad to meet you here. I wonder if I can have a few words with you alone... Don't worry, I won't take you too long."

Before Krum could say anything, he was pulled to the other side of the bar by Bagman.

The goblins were still staring over there warily, as if they were afraid that he would run away.
