Chapter 766 Gossip

Counting the little badgers present, Robert was surprised to find that in this commotion, the Hufflepuffs did not seem to have been much hurt, and they even seemed to be in good spirits.

After asking, I found out that the unlucky ones this time were actually the Slytherins and Gryffindors sitting at the top of the auditorium.

The two colleges disliked each other and insisted on competing. During the quarrel, they all ran to the highest point of the stands to watch. When Bunir flew over with the fire dragon, he rushed straight towards them and climbed up one by one. , using the slope of the entire stand, he threw the slightly slow fire dragon into a position near the back row.

Although the Venomous Tooth Dragon is considered a petite dragon among fire dragons, this adult dragon still reaches a height of nearly five meters. It was too anxious to chase and failed to control its position. After a head-on collision with the little wizards, it felt like He was humiliated by the wizard and lost his temper in the stands.

Thousands of flames shot out like they were worthless, causing the students of the two colleges to run away with their heads in their hands.

The little badgers felt something was wrong when they saw each other taking the dragon out of the Forbidden Forest. They reminded each other and ran out of the stands. Except for the senior students who were behind to maintain order, the prefects had already lowered their guard and wanted to watch the fun. All the senior students were captured.

The only ones who were really injured were the seniors, but they still ran faster than the others. Apart from some scratches and burns, they were basically fine.

And for this kind of minor injury, you don't even need to go to the school hospital. The little badgers, who are never short of medicinal materials, have long come back and taken out their cauldrons to boil medicine for the seniors to heal their injuries.

After a chaotic night, Hogwarts was exhausted from top to bottom, but things did not calm down so quickly.

There were a large number of casualties among dragon trainers, and later some viewers were seriously injured and hospitalized. Basically everyone was talking about it. Does this mean that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is no longer safe?

Early the next morning, the Daily Prophet was full of news.

Principal Dumbledore is dying due to serious injuries, and it is accompanied by photos of his treatment at St. Mungo's, and quotes from therapists and caregivers - "We are helpless about your injuries."

The deputy principal of Hogwarts disappeared mysteriously, and the testimony of many young wizards was attached to prove that Professor McGonagall had not appeared in front of everyone for a long time.

The management of Hogwarts is in disarray, but I didn’t dare to mention Professor Sprout. It’s probably because the editor-in-chief didn’t dare to offend the largest supplier of herbal medicines in the country.

Why was Hogwarts slow to respond and unable to provide rescue, leading to the tragedy that no one even cared about the lives of those poor spectators?

I looked at the contributor, and as expected, it was Rita Skeeter.

This guy has made a bad name for Fudge. The former minister has still not been cleared of charges such as conducting research on black magic at home and killing fellow wizards. He is under the murderous gaze of Mrs. Fudge almost every day. He lives a very "enjoyable" life. ".

Probably because of her previous unpleasant experience at Hogwarts Castle, Rita had the idea of ​​revenge, and then she started writing and desperately trying to cause trouble for Hogwarts.

As for the unpleasant experience...

In fact, it was nothing. She was interviewing Harry before the game to get some hard information from him. She originally planned to find a place to talk alone, but she unexpectedly found her way into the broom storage room in Hogwarts.

It was a cramped and dark room. The moment the light of the wand was lit, Rita thought of her previous terrible experience. She ran out of the room screaming, almost on her hands and knees.

Since then, Rita has never dared to set foot in Hogwarts again, and she has become much more honest. However, her disgust towards Hogwarts has skyrocketed. To do something like this to add insult to injury is totally unacceptable. No surprises.

"It's full of nonsense!" Hermione slammed the newspaper on the table.

Of course she was angry.

Rita, that bastard, went so far as to spread the tidbits about Harry in the newspapers - every beautiful girl in Hogwarts was his vassal.

He also took it out of context and took a picture of Hermione hugging Robert and Harry, saying that she "got along freely and happily between two men" and that her conduct was too bad and she was really not worthy of being the assistant of the warrior.

Moreover, Rita also pointed out that Harry's assistant was originally Ron, but during the competition it was Hermione. It must be because of her fame that she forced out poor Mr. Weasley and became Harry's partner.

I have to say that this woman is really good at making up stories.

The temporary change of assistants before the game was very strange in itself, and it was inevitable that Hermione would be misunderstood. Reporters with some ethics would just brush it off. After all, she was a representative of her country.

But Rita has been guiding Hermione towards the "bad girl" side, and it seems that she will not give up until she makes a bad reputation.

This is very puzzling.

What grudge does she have with Hermione? !

And something even more painful happened - most wizards believed her lies, including many people who knew the inside story.

They now suspected that the "inside story" they knew was only part of what they saw. The underlying reason was that Hermione wanted to be an assistant and used unfair means to squeeze Ron away.

And Ron obviously won't testify for Hermione. Wouldn't that tell others that he is a coward who ran away from the battlefield?

Although Robert and Cedric thought of many ways to change the opinions of other young wizards, the reason why the rumors were believed was not because people really believed the made-up stories, but because of jealousy and idle pain.

Later, this group of brainless fools actually said in front of hundreds of seriously injured people in the school hospital that the fire dragon was not a scary thing, and that Hermione was just lucky enough to become the warrior's assistant.

It's almost obvious that these patients are idiots, otherwise they wouldn't be hurt.

Pansy even brazenly said loudly at dinner, "If I were an assistant, I would definitely be able to help Harry get the golden egg earlier than Cedric."

This made the little badgers very dissatisfied, but Cedric and Robert had explained the stakes to them in advance. The little badgers did not show dissatisfaction with the cooperation with Gryffindor. Whoever gets the golden egg first They don't really care. Anyway, that's not what the game scores are about.

But at this time, Slytherin, a group of guys without warriors, jumped out to deliberately sow discord between the two houses, which made them very unhappy.

Everyone glared.

Hermione was also so angry with her that she almost jumped over and strangled her to death.

At this time, Harry stood up. He held his golden egg and threw it directly in front of Pansy. "If you think you can do better than Hermione, then help me solve this puzzle! If you solve Open it and I'll tell Mr. Bagman that you are my new assistant! I can even give up the Warrior position to Malfoy!"

He spoke very loudly, even the teachers could hear him clearly.

However, as referees, they did not point out the inappropriateness in Harry's words, but instead watched with interest.
