Chapter 424 Annoying Rita Skeeter
·
Nian Gao Pei Ma Tuan
After some guidance from Glenn and others, Harry finally reconciled with Ron.
The two of them are just children who are angry at each other. As long as one of them gives a step, the other will soon put the conflict behind them.
Under Hermione's persuasion, Ron finally accepted the fake Moody's statement and began to believe that someone deliberately made Harry a warrior to achieve some special purpose.
Regaining Ron's trust obviously made Harry's life much easier.
Except for Gryffindor, the other houses didn't treat him very well.Needless to say, Slytherin had always been at war with Gryffindor, and now they were even more taunting.Fortunately, Master Draco was also disliked by them, so the classic "Potter stinks" badge did not appear.
Hufflepuff's attitude is also obvious. They once had high hopes for Cedric, hoping that he would be selected to become the Champion of Hogwarts.Although they were not willing to lose to Qiu in the competition, they could still accept it.However, Harry, who had obtained an extra quota through some unknown means, was not so easily understood by them.
As for Ravenclaw, due to the mediation of Glenn and Qiu, they were not too disgusted with Harry.Of course, they still insist that Qiu is the warrior who truly represents Hogwarts.
Two weeks before the first competition day, Qiu left the Charms classroom an hour early to attend the wand testing ceremony.
Soon after, Rita Skeeter's article about the Triwizard Tournament was published.
According to her habit, the article was naturally without any surprises. Rather than reporting on the tournament, it was more of an exaggerated description of Harry's personal life.
A large portion of the front page of the Daily Prophet was taken up by a picture of Harry. The entire article was about Harry, and even took up several other pages.
Fleur and Krum's names were squeezed into the last line of the article, and there were even spelling errors. As for Qiu, there was no mention at all, as if Harry was the only warrior in Hogwarts.
Obviously, Skeeter knows the secret of traffic, and she knows how to write an article to trigger a wider discussion, so that as soon as this article was published, the sales volume of the "Daily Prophet" skyrocketed by 50.00%.
But for Harry, this was not a good thing.
"Potter! If your parents could see you now, would they be proud of your cheating?"
"I heard that you still shed tears secretly at night, Potter?"
"Pray, Potter! I hope your parents can protect you from dying in the first competition event, haha..."
Soon, the Slytherins found new ways to taunt Harry. Every time he appeared, they quoted words from the article and yelled out in a sinister manner.Even if Draco, who is best at this aspect, has been cleared, it will not affect the feud between Slytherin and Gryffindor.
Not only Harry himself, but also Hermione and Ron were greatly affected.
Both of them were also mentioned in the article, with Hermione being described as Harry's first love, and Ron as a follower-like identity. .... Fortunately, the two boys have reconciled as before, otherwise the gap between the two will only become deeper and deeper based on this writing.
The last Saturday before the start of the first project was Hogsmeade weekend. Glenn and Qiu went to Fusco's ice cream shop as usual. Even in the cold late autumn, business was still booming.
"Have you read the report about Harry Potter in the Daily Prophet?" Fusco said while serving two PLUS ice creams that were obviously a bit larger than others, "Then The child is so pitiful..."
Glenn couldn't help but roll his eyes: "It's not as exaggerated as you think. Most of the content in that article was made up by the reporter named Rita Skeeter."
"Is that so..." Fusco scratched his head, "I heard that she is at the Three Broomsticks right now, interviewing people who know Harry Potter. I originally wanted to talk to her about the child. Woolen cloth."
"It's best not to..." Qiu shook his head, "otherwise you have no idea how your words will be distorted."
"Is that so...Okay." Fusco frowned and continued to go back to his business.
Glenn glanced at his back and whispered: "We'd better not go to the Three Broomsticks. I don't want to deal with that woman..."
"Agree." Qiu nodded without hesitation.
She had dealt with Skeeter on the day of the wand test, and it could be said that she didn't have a good impression at all.
The two made up their minds to change places after eating the ice cream, as far away from the Three Broomsticks as possible.
However, contrary to expectations, they were only halfway through eating when they saw Skeeter walking out of the tavern with his cameraman and looking around.
Her eyes quickly locked onto her, and the small eyes behind her jewelry glasses suddenly lit up.
"Glenn Ollivander and Qiu Zhang!" She hurried over in three steps and sat down on the empty seat opposite them. "What a coincidence, you two, are you willing to accept one A short interview?”
"I don't want to." Glenn said immediately.
He made his rejection clear, but Skeeter didn't seem to hear him.
"Great!" she said happily, "Then let's start now!"
As she spoke, she took out the parchment and shorthand quill from the crocodile leather bag she carried with her and placed them on the table.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Skeeter, I think Glenn has made it clear that he refuses, and so do I." Autumn said softly, with a well-educated expression of refusal on her face.
Skeeter's face turned slightly, and then quickly returned to its original state, full of fake smiles.
"I understand what you mean, Miss Qiu Zhang. I'm sorry that I didn't describe you very well in my last report." She showed an "I understand you" expression and said shyly, "Don't worry, I promise, your name will appear on the front page this time!”
Autumn:? ? ?
Just when she was incomprehensible because of Skeeter's shamelessness, Glenn stood up directly and said coldly: "I'm sorry for causing you to misunderstand, Ms. Skeeter, we really don't intend to accept an interview with you. Not what you think."
As he spoke, he no longer cared about the half-eaten ice cream on the table, took Qiu's hand, and turned around to leave without hesitation.
"You..." The photographer was about to reach out to stop him, but was stopped by Skeeter.
She looked at the two people's retreating figures with a smile on her lips, as if she had already thought about what kind of report she should compile next.
