Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 314 Manipulated Media
Hogwarts.

Principal room.

"No, Headmaster Dumbledore, I think you are worrying too much."

Fudge smiled and picked up the newspaper on the table and said, "The Death Eaters escaped from prison, did you see that? The newspaper didn't overreport anything."

The Minister of Magic lived in Hogwarts in fear because of the mobilization of dementors yesterday.

He felt more emboldened by Dumbledore's side, as if living here meant that Dumbledore supported his views.

However, Dumbledore already disliked this minister very much, and he even had the idea of ​​changing a minister through this matter.

It's just that the minister, who was still timid last night, suddenly appeared in front of him this morning in good spirits.

Dumbledore, who was still in his pajamas, picked up the [Daily Prophet] that Fudge had slapped on the table:
The Azkaban Death Eaters rioted, and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic responded well!
This title was the first thing that caught his eye, and Dumbledore couldn't help but frown.

"Pure blood has bowed to me, Principal Dumbledore, I am leaving, I will be very busy today."

Fudge straightened his bright red tie, smiled, bowed and turned to leave.

Dumbledore looked away from the newspaper, looking through the half-moon glasses at the back of the other person as he walked up the stairs.

"boom."

He didn't look at the newspaper again until the stone beast outside jumped back to its original position.

After a cursory reading, he found the reason for Fudge's excitement.

This report briefly mentions the dementors' search of the school bus. If you don't read carefully, you may even miss the origin of it all.

[Daily Prophet] In doing so, it does seem to be helping Fudge control public opinion.

Dumbledore looked through the newspaper and found that there were no more records about this matter.

He took a closer look at the content about the school bus, and found that there were very few words related to it, and it was cloudy after reading it.

Just as he was about to put down the newspaper, Dumbledore suddenly remembered that he had seen Rita Skeeter in a quick glance yesterday.

As the head reporter of the [Daily Prophet], Dumbledore was puzzled that he hadn't seen her article.

"What is this doing?"

Dumbledore didn't think that things would be as simple as Fudge thought. He flipped through the newspaper repeatedly, and confirmed that there was indeed no article about Rita Skeeter in the newspaper.

"Tom, what is your purpose?"

He murmured, lost in thought, until there was a "boom" from the door of the principal's office.

Looking at the spiral staircase, he soon saw Mag who came in in a hurry.

"Today's [Quicker]." She said eagerly, "There is content criticizing [Daily Prophet]."

Dumbledore took the latest issue of [Quieter] handed over by McGonagall in surprise, and said puzzledly: "I remember that the contents of this book are very... bizarre."

"Yes, but they recently discussed the issue of pure blood. The starting point is still very extreme, but it has aroused some people's interest." Professor McGonagall said.

"Tom did it?"

Dumbledore asked, and looked at the unfolded pages:

Was it a riot by the prisoners, or a conspiracy by the Ministry of Magic?

Dementors are in action! ! !

The three bloody exclamation points in bold made Dumbledore's brows deeply frowned.

He touched his beard with some doubts, and looked at [Daily Prophet].

Vaguely, he felt that there was a problem, but he couldn't find the problem.

"Have you been following [The Quibbler] for a long time?"

Dumbledore looked up at McGonagall, who felt compelled to appeal to McGonagall's thoughts.

"Yes, I just liked it at first, but its recent changes make me feel unusual?" McGonagall said.

"How unusual?"

"The magazine doesn't usually discuss politics, but they've been publishing a lot lately, so..."

"You think it's Tom?"

"Luna is with him."

Dumbledore nodded, agreeing with McGonagall.

"Do you think there is any connection between the two?" he asked and then explained, "I mean the two copies point to completely different titles."

"There must be a problem, but I can't find the problem yet." Mag said distressedly.

Dumbledore bowed his head and began to read the article on The Quibbler.

After a cursory reading, he unexpectedly discovered that this article was actually a title party.

There's nothing specific about the riots, nor the conspiracy, nor the dementors in action.

The whole content of it is more like refuting the article on [Daily Prophet], exposing the false report of [Daily Prophet].

One of these passages is particularly obvious:
If you've read that article, it's not hard to see that it clearly states that Dementors appear on the Hogwarts Express.

The problem is, it doesn't explain why the dementors are there.

On the contrary, it uses extremely condensed text to sum up the relevant content in one stroke, which makes us doubt its professionalism.

But what is even more frightening is who is manipulating that newspaper. Behind this, there may be something unknown happening quietly...

This content is properly attracting attention.

Even Dumbledore, who knew something about what happened yesterday, couldn't help thinking about how many unsolved mysteries there are.

Like those parent and student door keys...

Like why the Death Eaters choose not to run away...

For example, was this incident planned by his student...

Too many questions bothered him, and a little thought made his headache worse.

"Do you need medicine to ease it?"

Mag, who was familiar with him, asked him after seeing him rubbing his temple in pain.

"No, McGonagall, give me the Pensieve." Dumbledore said painfully.

McGonagall nodded, quickly turned around and took the Pensieve, and put it on the desk.

When Dumbledore saw the Pensieve, he couldn't wait to pull out the silver thread from his temple and place it in the Pensieve.

This action was repeated three times before his headache was relieved.

"You need to rest, Headmaster."

Mag glanced at the photos on the desk outside the diary.

There are Gaunt's old house, Wu's Orphanage and other places related to the mysterious person.

She didn't know what the headmaster was doing, but she knew it was the headmaster's headache.

"He who determines the time of death needs no rest."

Dumbledore raised his right hand to show McGonagall, then blinked and said, "I really regret it now, I wasted time when I was young."

Professor McGonagall frowned slightly, and it was always difficult for her rationally to understand Dumbledore's joke-like ridicule.

"Help me pay attention to them, Mag, my energy is really limited now."

Dumbledore, relieved from his headache, waved the Elder Wand, and the Pensieve flew back to its original place.

"I will, Principal, but I can't be sure to find the problem." McGonagall frowned and looked at the two newspapers.

"It's okay, Meg."

Dumbledore put away the two magazines with a smile and said, "I'm going to focus on this first, you know, this matter is probably a smoke bomb he released to distract me."

"I understand." Mag nodded, "I will try my best to find his purpose for doing this."

Dumbledore nodded with a smile, then waved his hand to signal that the other party could leave.

After Mag left, he lowered his head again and began to write and draw in his notebook.
