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, "Did you see the Death Eaters escaping from prison? The newspaper didn't overly report anything."

The Minister of Magic lived in Hogwarts in fear because of yesterday's transfer of dementors.

He felt more confident around Dumbledore, as if living here meant that Dumbledore supported his views.

However, Dumbledore already disliked this minister very much, and he even considered using this incident to change his mind to another minister.

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

Dumbledore, still in his pajamas, picked up the [Daily Prophet] that Fudge had slapped on the table:

The Death Eaters riot in Azkaban, and the Ministry of Magic's Aurors have a well-founded response!

The title was the first thing that caught his eye, and Dumbledore couldn't help but frown.

"The pure blood bows to me, Headmaster Dumbledore. I have to take my leave. I will be very busy today."

Fudge straightened his bright red tie, bowed with a smile and turned to leave.

Dumbledore looked away from the newspaper and looked at the other person's back walking up the stairs through his half-moon glasses.

"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 it carefully, you may even miss the origin of it all.

By doing this, [Daily Prophet] does seem to be helping Fudge control public opinion.

Dumbledore looked through the newspaper and found that there was no more record about this incident.

He looked carefully at the content about school buses and found that there was very little text related to it, and it was confusing even 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 had not seen her article.

"What are you doing?"

Dumbledore didn't think things would be as simple as Fudge thought. He looked 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 principal's office door.

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

"Today's [The Quibbler]," she said eagerly, "has content criticizing the [Daily Prophet]."

Dumbledore was surprised when he took the latest issue of [The Quibbler] handed over by McGonagall, and said doubtfully: "I remember that the contents of this book are very...bizarre."

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

"Tom did it?"

Dumbledore asked, looking at the unfolded pages:

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

Dementors on the move! ! !

The three bold red exclamation marks made Dumbledore frown deeply.

He touched his beard with some confusion and looked at the [Daily Prophet].

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

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

Dumbledore looked up at McGonagall, feeling the need to appeal to McGonagall's ideas.

"Yes, I just liked it originally, but its recent changes make me feel unusual?" Mag said.

"How unusual?"

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

"You think it's Tom?"

"Luna's at his place."

Dumbledore nodded, agreeing with McGonagall's statement.

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

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

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

After a cursory reading, he unexpectedly discovered that this article was a headline-grabber.

There is no specific description of the riots, no conspiracy, and no description of how the Dementors are acting.

Its entire content is more like a refutation of the article in the Daily Prophet and an expose of the untrue reports in the Daily Prophet.

One of these passages is particularly clear:

If you have read that article, it is not difficult to find that it clearly states that dementors appeared on the Hogwarts Express.

But the thing is, it doesn't explain why the Dementors are there.

On the contrary, it uses extremely concise text to cover the relevant content in one stroke, which has to make us doubt its professionalism.

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

This content is definitely attracting attention.

Even though Dumbledore knew something about yesterday's events, he couldn't help but think about how many unsolved mysteries there were.

For example, those door keys for parents and students...

Like why the Death Eaters chose not to escape...

For example, was his student planning the whole thing...

Too many questions bothered him, and even thinking about them made his headache worse.

"Do you need some medicine to calm it down?"

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

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

Mag nodded and quickly turned around to get the pensieve and put it on the desk.

When Dumbledore saw the Pensieve, he couldn't wait to pull out the silver wire from his temple and placed 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 placed on the desk outside the diary.

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

She didn't know what the principal was doing, but she knew it was a headache for him.

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

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

Professor McGonagall frowned slightly. Being rational, she had always found it difficult to understand Dumbledore's jokes.

"Pay attention to them for me, Mag. My energy is really limited right now."

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

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

"It's okay, McGonagall."

Dumbledore smiled and put away the two magazines and said, "I have to concentrate here first. You know, this matter is probably a smoke bomb he put out to distract me."

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

Dumbledore smiled and nodded, then waved his hand to indicate that the other party could leave.

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