All things are three at Hogwarts

Faced with Allen's unexpected invitation, Rita Skeeter immediately smiled and said, "That's great, Principal Harris, it's my honor."

"This is not a good place to talk..." Alan looked at the reporters around him and then raised his head in the direction of the Ministry of Magic to signal Rita, "Let's go to the Ministry to discuss the details."

Skeeter was wearing a banana-yellow robe today. She quickly said a few words to the fat photographer next to her, and then walked towards Allen. Penello standing aside noticed this, and she He immediately stared at it, and immediately followed and walked up to get closer to Allen.

Allen looked at Penello's serious and alert look and laughed secretly in his heart. However, when Allen's eyes fell on Rita, who was dressed like a butterfly in flowers and looked particularly awkward, he had no choice but to look at Penello like this. Doubtful behavior sighs secretly...

Skeeter didn't notice this. She quickly approached Ellen and giggled charmingly. Her big chin kept shaking. But then she felt Penello's cold gaze and saw this proud man. The famous female devil in Luo's office, Skeeter felt a chill in her heart. Thinking of what she heard about the relationship between this female Auror and Ellen Harris, she immediately understood what Penello was thinking and stayed away from Ellen with some fear. After a few steps, he put away his flattering smile, his body stopped shaking, and his behavior became more dignified and steady.

"Rita, don't worry, Penelo is my escort, and I also have something to discuss with her later." Seeing that the atmosphere had become a little awkward, Allen found a reason for Penelo to give her enough time. Reasons to follow.

"I have heard of Miss Crevat for a long time, and I think it would be perfect to have her accompany Principal Harris." After pleasing Penello on the way forward, Skeeter couldn't wait to express his position, "When I first met you , I knew you would achieve great success. I didn’t expect this day to come so quickly. You once again defeated the mysterious man. You are truly the strongest wizard... Principal Harris, is there anything you need me to write for you? Just ask and the Daily Prophet will be happy to oblige Harris."

"The Daily Prophet, as an official media that cooperates with the Ministry of Magic, should maintain its relative impartiality and maintain its detached status." Seeing that Rita would misunderstand, Allen simply explained, "I am inviting you this time for a reason. For more personal purposes, it has nothing to do with the Daily Prophet."

Skeeter was very discerning and did not ask any further. After all, the Daily Prophet is not the private property of the Harris family, and now the other party is at the forefront of the storm due to some actions. It seems that Harris wants to create a brand that truly belongs to the Harris family. Rita from the paper media believed that the other party was probably interested in her ability to talk nonsense...and be eloquent.

The three of them sat down in a reception room of the Ministry of Magic. Penello, who was in a good mood, skillfully directed the teapots and teacups to fly over and poured steaming black tea into each bone china teacup.

After sitting down, Allen asked directly without too much detour: "Rita, I remember that you own a green shorthand quill. In addition to writing press releases, can this pen be used to write novels?"

Skeeter heard the meaning of Allen's words clearly, and did not expect that the other party really wanted her to write a novel. Rita's eyes behind her jeweled glasses suddenly widened: "Minister Harris? Uh, I am With all due respect, what kind of novel do you want to ghostwrite?"

"This is a series of long stories. I first estimated that I would write seven...but the first one only has about 20 words." Allen leaned on the sofa and consulted Skeeter, "I will give it to you later. How long will it take to compile an outline and some intelligence content to be written?"

"Please give me three days. In fact, my pen and I should be faster, but this is Principal Harris's matter. I will definitely check and polish it more..." Skeeter raised his thick eyebrows. Her tone was more confident than before, "I'm not one of those third-rate female novelists who serializes novels in some Qidian magazine. I've been getting less and less comments and feedback for thousands of years...I have to stay up until two o'clock to write two thousand words every day...it makes it so It’s like going to the toilet like Mr. Amos Diggory…”

"Very good... I think our cooperation will be very pleasant... and the rewards it will bring you are beyond your imagination." Allen took a sip of tea and did not understand the complaints of these writers. He leaned against On the sofa, "Do I need to give you a summary of the story first?"

Skeeter's smile flashed slightly, and she guessed that Allen wanted to promote Hogwarts, or he wanted to write an autobiography for himself because of the recent momentum: "It would be best if I didn't delay you. "She opened her crocodile leather handbag, took out her shorthand pen, pulled a piece of parchment on the table, and wrote a note with a swipe back and forth on it.

"This novel, the story mainly takes Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as the main stage. It describes the protagonist, the young wizard student, Harry Potter, the boy-who-lived, studying life and adventures at Hogwarts... The first book The content is probably that Harry, with the help of his good friends, overcame many difficulties and protected the Sorcerer's Stone..." Allen briefly described the general plot, "So the specific title of the first story will be Harry Potter. Special and the Philosopher's Stone, as for the specific outline of the story, I will send my phoenix to you later...By the way, you don't need to feed it, it won't eat, and please don't try to pet it, it has a bad temper..."

Skeeter was surprised. She didn't expect that Allen would use the outdated legendary savior Harry Potter as the protagonist, and would completely eliminate his own existence from the story. "Principal Harris, this book If the novel is written like this... I'm afraid it won't sell well." Her shorthand pen hovered above the parchment and stopped scratching. "If I were to write an autobiography of yours, in its current form, it would definitely sell very well..."

"Alan, why did you choose Harry Potter as the protagonist?" Penello, who had been thinking about finding a heroine when he heard that Alan was going to write a book, also said with some disappointment after hearing this, "He What’s so good about those foolhardy adventure stories?”

"Miss Crevat is right. In fact, I think that if it is to write your autobiography of Principal Ellen Harris, Miss Crevat can also be written into the story... This is very interesting." Skeeter saw through it. Penello's intention was to give the other person a few compliments and hope that she could persuade Alan to change his mind and write a story of his own.

"Only the first book has this style. As the story progresses, the books in this series will become darker one by one. There is no need to worry..." Allen explained calmly. "As for your worry that it won't sell well, that's not a problem, because this book is not for wizards, but for Muggles... My own story is too smooth sailing. If it were Harry's situation, The words are more literary..."

"Principal Harris!" As the female reporter screamed, the green shorthand quill fell on the paper with a "snap", and Rita Skeeter grabbed her very delicately combed curly hair regardless of the image. , "Principal Harris! This story describes things in our magical world. If it is published in the Muggle world... I am afraid it will violate the law of confidentiality and cause the International Federation of Wizards to trouble us..."

"Who told you to speak to Allen like this?! Pay attention to your identity!" Penello next to her saw Rita disobeying Allen and forgot that they had just had a brief united front, and her voice became a little sharp. , "You'd better do what Allen wants me to do!"

Being scolded suddenly and loudly by the other party, Skeeter glanced at Penello in panic and then lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. The pair of jewel-encrusted glasses he was wearing slipped down from the bridge of his nose.

"There's no need to be like this Penello, Rita's worries are actually for our own good..." Allen stroked Penello's shoulder to calm her down, and then personally directed the teapot to refill Skeeter's tea. , "If the International Federation of Wizards pursues responsibility...I will take full responsibility for this matter. I don't think it is a big problem at all. There are more fantasy novels about Muggles than the exaggerated descriptions in the wizarding world...and you are not Have you ever wondered why I wrote it? I actually have a pretty good reason, and it will benefit the entire wizarding world."

Not only Skeeter, this also made Penelo seem a little confused. The two of them once again united and asked why.

"You all know that during the First Wizarding War, Tom took advantage of the fact that most of the people who dared to call him by that name were those who dared to resist him, and placed a curse on the name. Once the name was spoken, he and His subordinates will be able to know the content of the short conversation after the speaker pronounces the name and roughly know his location to take revenge... Just as ordinary wizards have always been worried about, he once again filled in his name after returning this time. With this spell..." Allen raised his little finger in a very British coquettish way, picked up his own bone china tea cup and took a sip of tea, "Just think about it, when this book becomes a Muggle After their best-selling book, when Muggles in every country around the world read it with their own unique accents, then the mysterious man and his men would either be harassed to the point of being unable to sleep until they die...or they would have to take the initiative to lift the spell themselves...so we write this This novel is an act of justice... and also to share the worries of the International Federation of Wizards..."
