Chapter 431 Rita Skeeter’s Revenge (the title of the previous chapter was wrong)
·
Nian Gao Pei Ma Tuan
The business of the Weasley twins has been going very well recently. The effect of instant skipping candy has gradually spread throughout Hogwarts, including the History of Magic and Divination classes in every grade, and of course, the protective magic of dealing with Blast-Ended Skrewts. In biology class, there will always be a few students who take time off due to nosebleeds or vomiting.
The two of them are also considered to have good financial acumen, and they also came up with a good way to give out free gifts for trial use.
When Michael Korner shed his feathers and returned to his original appearance, many people decided to buy a few pieces and keep them to trick their friends.
The party lasted until midnight, and then finally dispersed, and Qiu was finally able to return to her dormitory with her golden eggs and a small Swedish Brachysaurus statue.
Next day, breakfast time.
There was something wrong with the atmosphere in the auditorium. As soon as Glenn entered the door, the buzzing discussion suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on him and Qiu.
"What's going on?" He frowned and sat down, looking at Eddie and asked.
Eddie sighed and handed him a copy of today's latest Wizarding Weekly. The cover showed Rita Skeeter's big face.
"What do you mean?" Glenn glanced at it and asked.
"You'd better take a look for yourself, page 7," Eddie said helplessly, "Rita Skeeter...that woman's ability to spread rumors is really great..."
Spread rumors?
Glenn opened the magazine blankly and came across Skeeter's special article.
"Emotional Entanglements - The Untold Hogwarts Warriors Secret"
When he saw the title, he immediately frowned.Unexpectedly, the woman had such a strong sense of revenge. After being frustrated, she actually turned the blame on herself and Qiu.
The article is not long, but the writing style is a favorite tactic used by marketing accounts——
As we all know, in this Triwizard Tournament, Hogwarts has two warriors, one of whom is the famous boy Harry Potter, and the other——
Miss Qiu Zhang, a Chinese girl who comes from a family of middle-level employees of the Ministry of Magic, has a delicate appearance and extraordinary appearance.But aside from his outward appearance, the Warrior seems lackluster in other aspects.It is worth mentioning that Miss Qiu Zhang has a male friend who is almost inseparable-Glenn Ollivander.
Since young Mr. Ollivander entered Hogwarts, he quickly became a man of the hour. Two years ago, he helped capture the super criminal Peter Pettigrew who had been on the run for more than ten years, and thus became a famous figure. The youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin.
It is reported that before the Warrior candidates were announced, more than 90% of Hogwarts students believed that Mr. Glenn Ollivander was the "only" and "best" candidate for this spot.But obviously, the result was beyond everyone's expectations. Miss Qiu Zhang, who was previously unknown, became one of the warriors of Hogwarts, but Mr. Ollivander was not selected.
The reason for this situation is not yet clear, but we have reason to believe that the reason is not simple. It may be due to some special emotional entanglements, or there may be some kind of transaction behavior that is not humane to outsiders...
...
Skeeter is really good at finding news to attract traffic, and he can actually come up with such a weird angle to discredit it.
There was no need to continue reading. Glenn had already guessed what was coming next. He closed the magazine with a snap and threw it back to Eddie.
At this time, due to word of mouth among many students, most people already knew the contents of the magazine. Even if someone came late, they soon heard the news from others.
Fortunately, Qiu has always been very popular, and with Glenn's presence, although everyone couldn't hold back the spirit of gossip, they were too embarrassed to come over and ask questions in person.
"What the hell is this woman talking about!" Marietta slammed the magazine on the table, "Qiu's performance in the first project is obvious to all! That was No. 1! Does she need to make any deals? "
She deliberately raised her voice, just to let those who had doubts hear her and use their brains to think about it.
Despite this, there were still a few blind girls who couldn't help but talk about it.
"Could it be a love potion? I heard..." Several junior Hufflepuff girls passed by the Ravenclaw table, still chatting about this matter.
As luck would have it, Glenn heard these words clearly.
"Ahem..." He cleared his throat and interrupted, "Listen to me, kids, if you are addicted to a love drug, I can feel it myself..."
Several girls were startled when they realized that their discussion had been overheard by the person involved. They screamed and fled in a hurry with red faces.
"Don't pay attention to them, Qiu." Marcos comforted, "That woman Skeeter always lies without drafting. This kind of news will be silenced in a few days."
Qiu smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was fine. Her condition was better than expected, at least her mood was quite stable.
"In that case," she said seriously, "shouldn't I be the one to win the championship?"
"That's right!" Several people around him echoed in unison.
Only Glenn felt nervous, he didn't want to win this championship trophy...
After a leisurely breakfast, Cho returned to the common room to continue researching the secret of the golden egg.Although there are still more than two months until the second project, Qiu, who is holding back his breath and wants to prove himself, is not willing to delay for a moment.
Glenn originally wanted to help her figure out a solution and find an opportunity to reveal the answer to her, but he was rarely rejected.It can be seen that this report is not without effect on her.
In desperation, he had to leave Qiu to research alone and find a way to find Rita Skeeter who had turned into a beetle.
In the next few weeks, Qiu spent time in the library whenever he had time, with only Morgana and Marietta taking turns to accompany him. Glenn tried to find opportunities to remind her several times, but was sternly rejected.
It wasn't until Christmas was approaching that the tense atmosphere finally relaxed a little.
In the Charms class the week before the ball, Professor Flitwick ended the teaching early and left them to have a small meeting.
"As your Head of House, I have something to inform you..." he said with a smile, "About a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament - the Yule Ball. This is a great opportunity for us to interact with foreign guests. You can invite the person you like, form a dance partner, and participate in the Christmas Eve dance event."
The students in the classroom all showed a bit of excitement. As a time traveler, Glenn naturally knew the Christmas dance as a repertoire and had made preparations early.
Even before the start of school, he had asked Liu Tao to send a fitting light blue cheongsam from China as a Christmas gift to Qiu, his favorite dance partner.
The two of them are also considered to have good financial acumen, and they also came up with a good way to give out free gifts for trial use.
When Michael Korner shed his feathers and returned to his original appearance, many people decided to buy a few pieces and keep them to trick their friends.
