Chapter 150

What happened next was not what Scott expected.

Although Dumbledore announced Medea at Hogwarts, the Daily Prophet the next day dismissed him as a joke.

The headlines of the day read:

The Hogwarts tragedy - the Ministry of Magic urges wizards to wait for the results of the official investigation.

This report apparently came at the behest of the Ministry of Magic.

In the article, officials from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement claimed that the case was "still under investigation", but "something has already begun", and hoped that everyone would wait for the official news and "don't believe it lightly".

At the long table at breakfast time, Eddie put the finished newspaper on the table.

He pointed to the headline on the front page and said: "This report has no substantive content at all. The biggest effect is to negate the news announced by Dumbledore."

"They claimed that their investigation had already begun, but they didn't announce any progress of the investigation." Roger smiled sarcastically.

"They didn't investigate at all!" Eddie pouted, "None of us saw an Auror at Hogwarts!"

At this time, Scott was already flipping through the next page of the newspaper in his hand.

"The Daughter of Slytherin Reborn"?Count Dumbledore's lies over the years".

This article by ace reporter Rita Skeeter further criticized Dumbledore's "lying" behavior, and said that this "old fool" is "not the first time".

She also cites Dumbledore's other gibberish in the article.

She believes that Dumbledore's most outrageous lie is that after the mysterious man has disappeared for more than ten years, he is still reminding students to be alert to the threat of the mysterious man.

"Dumbledore is obviously still indulging in his past glory", Rita Skeeter commented, "He hopes that the students will worship him and still regard him as the spiritual leader against the mysterious man."

The second outrageous lie cited by the reporter was that Dumbledore called the murderer of the "Hogwarts tragedy" the daughter of Slytherin.

"He created a character that doesn't exist in modern times, and invented a legendary person to attract people's attention."

Bitter satire by Rita Skeeter.

"He hoped that such eye-popping news would distract attention from the Hogwarts problem, but no reasonable wizard would believe such an overly obvious lie."

As for the third outrageous lie Dumbledore told, he "has repeatedly praised the heap of cockroaches as the best candy".

Rita Skeeter does not approve of such nonsense, she believes that "everyone knows that Zizi honey candy is the most delicious".

"..."

Seeing this, Scott couldn't help laughing out loud.

He didn't continue to read, but flipped through the other pages of the newspaper, and found that today's newspaper was full of multi-angle evaluations of this matter——

"The Hogwarts Board of Trustees Held, Dumbledore's Headmaster May Be Dismissed".

"A Discussion on Why the Daughter of Slytherin Cannot Survive for Thousand Years from the Perspective of Magic Theory".

"Parents of Hogwarts Students Call on the School to Strengthen School Safety Management".

"Inside Information - A Hogwarts Student Thinks the Killer Is an Unknown Fantastic Beast".

"Tsk, what a big formation."

Scott sighed.

This situation is not very good, how can Dumbledore resolve it?
Now people in the school are panicking. If they can't take some tough measures in time, I'm afraid there will be more troubles in the future.

"My mother wrote to me and she said she was going to take me home."

"My dad said the same thing."

"Maybe I'll change schools. Beauxbatons in France is very good. My cousin goes to school there."

"I want to go to Durmstrang."

Scott heard the students around him talking, and some of them were even ready to leave the academy.

Just then, Professor Flitwick walked into the auditorium.

"Mr Trollope!"

He stood at the door of the auditorium and waved to Scott.

Scott quickly stood up and walked over under the gaze of everyone.

"The Minister of Magic has brought the Aurors to the school," Professor Flitwick whispered. "Come with me, you need to go to Minerva's office."

"Okay, Professor."

Scott responded and followed Professor Flitwick out of the auditorium.

Are the Aurors still here?
"Professor," he asked softly, "Why are the Aurors here today?"

"Ms. Slytherin broke into the Ministry of Magic yesterday!" Professor Flitwick also replied softly, "She was gone when Dumbledore rushed over."

"what?"

Scott didn't expect that his nonsense yesterday would come true, but Dumbledore didn't mention it last night.

"What did she do at the Ministry of Magic?" he asked curiously.

Professor Flitwick shook his head, "I don't know, the Ministry of Magic blocked the news."

"What about today's newspaper?"

Scott was a little speechless. He suspected that Auror's visit to school today was just a formality.

Professor Flitwick looked exasperated. "Oh, the papers are full of bullshit today! Damn that!"

"Why did they do that?" Scott couldn't figure it out. "In this situation, what good is it to offend Dumbledore?"

"They really think it's just a witch pretending to be a Slytherin daughter! And they know that it's not terrible to offend Dumbledore like this, and there is no price to pay!"

Professor Flitwick said through gritted teeth.

"If there is a crisis in the wizarding world, Dumbledore himself will still step up!"

Scott was speechless.

The operation of the Ministry of Magic is too shameless.

But he still had to ask clearly, "Are they planning to deny the existence of Medea? Then what shall I say later?"

Professor Flitwick looked up at him, "Just tell the truth."

"Ok."

Scott nodded.

The two soon came to the door of Professor McGonagall's office.

At this time, two Aurors who looked very young were guarding the door.

After seeing Professor Flitwick, they all smiled respectfully and helped open the door of the office.

Professor Flitwick nodded and walked into the office first.

Scott followed behind him and saw two acquaintances at a glance.

It was Shacklebolt and Williamson, the feuding Auror duo who turned to look at him at the same time.

On the sofa on the other side, Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore were talking to a middle-aged wizard with curly gray hair and a short, stout man.

Presumably that is the current Minister of Magic of England, Cornelius Fudge.

Professor McGonagall's face was serious at the moment, his lips were tightly pursed, and he looked very unhappy.

On the contrary, Dumbledore and Fudge seemed to be having a good time talking, and laughed from time to time.

It seemed that the slander and slander in the newspaper had nothing to do with him, and his mood was not affected at all.

Such a scene made Scott feel a little weird.

"Mr Trollope."

Professor McGonagall stood up immediately when he saw Scott.

She walked to the door and told Scott, "Scott, the Auror will ask you some questions later, you just have to tell the truth."
