Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 316 This is part of the war, Dean!
Stubborn people are hard to persuade, and so are rational people.

But both have the benefit of being converted from the heart once persuaded.

Professor McGonagall really wanted to change, but Hermione shrewdly avoided the few good opportunities to speak up.

The little girl seemed to see Mag's thoughts, and after Mag stared at her with deep eyes for the first time, she began to avoid her intentionally.

This forced her to carry out other plans first, such as going to Hogsmeade village and consulting the students' parents there about the details of the day.

But this is not a pleasant home visit, the other party is obviously hiding something.

She even made her words very explicit, but the other party still chose to hide it.

And on the second day after her home visit, the content on [Daily Prophet] finally reversed:

Justice under the might of the Ministry of Magic: Rita Skeeter! ! !
This article with a very eye-catching title was written by Barnabas Guffey, editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet.

With grief and indignation, he wrote about the recent turmoil in the [Daily Prophet].

He accused the Ministry of Magic of putting pressure on the daily newspaper, which made the paper's chief reporter Rita Skeeter's articles repeatedly frustrated and unable to be published.

For this reason, the editor-in-chief mobilized his own contacts, sought help from colleagues, and asked the [Quicker] magazine for help, trying to defeat this ugly suppression with external force.

But he failed.

As a last resort, he skipped the surveillance of the newspaper by the Ministry of Magic, and temporarily replaced this weeping blood article before publishing today's newspaper.

In the tearful text, Rita Skeeter was described as a freedom fighter.

She experienced the whole incident and saw all the truth, but was unable to tell the truth due to the suppression of the Ministry of Magic.

For this reason, the freedom fighter was even slightly depressed, and his mental state was not very good.

"If messengers of justice and freedom fighters like this can't speak out, then the sky of the wizarding world must be covered by dark clouds, and it must be black."

At the end of the article, he reprimanded the Ministry of Magic very harshly.

But if you read the article carefully, it is easy to find that there is nothing substantive in it.

There was no roll call, no surname, and even the process of the suppression was not explained in detail.

"Grief and indignation, but there is no substantive content, but it arouses more people's curiosity."

McGonagall put the newspaper on the desk, looked at Hermione in front of him and asked, "What do you think they are doing, Hermione?"

Hermione's eyes were lowered, and she seemed to be sitting there obediently, but her eyes were spinning around.

Obviously, this little girl is not as honest as she appears.

"Explain the facts, Professor McGonagall, you know what happened that day, the dementors attacked the train, and then we fought back, that's it." Hermione whispered.

"But the newspaper didn't report this, and there's no explanation about how you got there." Mag frowned.

"Yes, Professor McGonagall, but this is a request from the Ministry of Magic. They don't allow us to say this to the outside world, saying that it is to avoid panic in the magic world." Hermione said.

McGonagall rolled her eyes, pushed the newspaper forward, and said, "Now everything has been pushed to the forefront, Hermione, I think even people who didn't pay attention to these things are full of curiosity about it."

Hermione looked up at the newspaper, then looked down again.

"It's that person's method, right?" Mag asked straightforwardly.

Hermione remained silent and didn't look up, she obviously didn't want to comment on this.

"What I can imagine is that the next person will report the whole story of this incident, increasing wizards' dislike for the Ministry of Magic, and the specific person is Fudge."

McGonagall frowned and thought about it, "But what is his purpose for doing this? It's not just for one Fudge, right?"

Hermione finally raised her head. She glanced at the dean of her own college, thinking about the gap between the two.

This gap seems a bit big to her.

The opponent has already made a move, but this side can't even understand what's going on.

"I need your help, Hermione, we shouldn't let what happened ten years ago happen again, and you might be able to change everything." McGonagall said, staring at Hermione.

"I can't change anything, Dean."

Hermione chose a job title, which is a sign of alienation, "In fact, if you look at it transparently, the outcome of the matter is already doomed."

McGonagall's frown deepened, and Hermione's words made her feel bad.

"What do you mean?" McGonagall asked.

"The [Daily Prophet], the Dean, and the [Quicker] are not in your hands, nor are they in the hands of the Ministry of Magic, so..."

Hermione paused, and after organizing her words, said, "This is part of the war, Dean."

"war?"

McGonagall's eyes widened in surprise, she was surprised by the vocabulary Hermione used.

"Yes, Dean, this is a public opinion war."

Hermione's words did not surprise McGonagall.

Of course she knew about the public opinion war, she just didn't know the meaning of that person's doing so.

To be more precise, in this matter, she couldn't see any benefit for that person.

"Can you be more specific, Hermione?" McGonagall asked.

"I don't think I can, Dean." Hermione refused without hesitation. "The Burner I represent is currently holding a wait-and-see attitude in this matter."

"Wait and see?" McGonagall asked in surprise, "Don't you stand on the opposite side of bloodism?"

"In terms of standpoint, we are of course on the opposite side, Dean." Hermione said after thinking, "But between seeking peace and fighting, we always have to choose, and this is not the time to choose."

"When is it?"

McGonagall finally stopped being surprised. Instead, she looked curiously at the student she once admired very much.

"Before the policy comes out, Dean, I can't make a decision out of thin air."

Hermione's answer was almost without any hesitation. It could be seen that she had indeed thought deeply about this question.

"Mysterious Man's attitude towards Muggle wizards is obvious to all, I think of that time..."

McGonagall shook her head, telling her opinion, but was soon interrupted by Hermione's fast and urgent words.

"I don't think that's the case, Dean, the world will change, and people will change."

Hermione also shook her head, and said rationally with a straight face.

This made Mag see her own shadow from her.

"If he can't take advantage of the situation, he will definitely be abandoned by the wizarding world, and we can still start all over again."

Before McGonagall could speak, Hermione said first, "As for his hatred for Muggle wizards...it's not so much hatred as it is a failed guidance."

"Dean, that person is just habitually looking for the group that is most beneficial to him, but that failure gave him enough changes, I think he will change."

Hermione's words made her no longer look like a child in McGonagall's eyes.

She thought for a moment and said, "You won't tell me what his purpose is, will you?"

"No, Dean, it's not that I don't want to tell you." Hermione said frankly with her eyes full, "It's just that I don't know what he's going to do."

"As I said, Dean, this is part of the war."
