Hogwarts Wandering Wizard

Because of George's return, the first-year students reunited in Eric's dormitory to continue the carnival after turning off the lights in the common room, listening to Fred and George's embellished description of their treatment at St. Mungo's, and A vision that George saw after he fell into a coma.

As children, they are still full of novelties about the world, especially the journey through hell, which may seem thrilling to others, but to them it is an enviable source of conversation.

What's more, George's mood is always optimistic. In the original work, one of his ears is missing, and he can still joke with Fred when he is extremely weak, which shows how big his heart is.

Eric and Fred also brought back a lot of food from the kitchen, allowing the party to continue until 11 o'clock at night, before the remaining five boys returned to their rooms with yawns.

When the students appeared in the auditorium for breakfast with sleepy eyes the next day, the owls finally passed through the rain curtain outside and brought today's Daily Prophet.

Lee Jordan also heard about Rita Skeeter's interview with the Weasley brothers last night. While opening Eric's newspaper, he was mumbling about the report written by this woman. He didn't know how exaggerated it was. degree……

But when he opened the newspaper and saw the headlines, just like the other students in the auditorium, he looked dull.

"Shock!Take a quick look!The Ministry of Magic neglected its duties, and students were framed and blamed"

The large and bold word 'shocked' combined with photos of the Weasley brothers and Jordan took up nearly half of the headline, attracting readers' attention like a magnet.

Lee Jordan and George sitting next to him read the newspaper article carefully, with different expressions on their faces.

Li's face was shocked and excited, while George's face was dull and confused.

Although some of the words in this article were indeed spoken by him, they were not as explicit as what was said in the article.

"...After the incident in the Forbidden Forest last Monday, we heard Professor McGonagall on the way to class begging the Ministry of Magic to carefully inspect the Forbidden Forest, but Mr. Barty Crouch refused. He said that the Ministry of Magic is dealing with everything. , it is impossible to waste manpower and time in the woods of a school. If Professor McGonagall really insists, they will directly destroy the Forbidden Forest..."

The fork with the bread in George's hand fell on the plate with a clang. His face was so pale that he snatched the newspaper from Li's hand. He swallowed several mouthfuls, looked up at his brother in confusion, and asked in confusion: "Fred, did I tell the reporter Barty Crouch's name yesterday? How do I remember that I just said that officials from the Ministry of Magic rejected the matter?"

Fred raised his eyebrows, took the newspaper, glanced at the paragraph just now, and replied: "I don't remember either, I guess... She asked so many questions yesterday, and I can't remember exactly what we were. What did you say at that time?"

George opened his mouth with a thoughtful look on his face. After recalling it for a long time, he felt that he was not too sure, so he shook his head and continued to read.

Eric piled a sandwich on toast and hid the smile on his face while chewing.

When Fred took the newspaper just now, he also glanced at it twice. The report was not much different from one of the contents in the letter he wrote to Karl.

Yes, he provided the first draft of today's newspaper.

In Catherine's letter to him last night, she had already told him about the process of their contact with Rita Skeeter.

At first, Rita Skeeter sneered at Carl's desire to interfere with her reporting, and her attitude towards the couple was also quite disdainful.But when Catherine revealed that she was an unregistered animagus and had turned into a green beetle and flown to their house during the summer, Rita suddenly became more honest.

Although she couldn't believe that her secret had been discovered, Rita had no idea of ​​resisting or leaving the table when faced with the wealthy and powerful Welfare family.

After all, Carl Foley's brother, Taos Foley, is one of the five chief judges of the Wizengamot, and like Crouch, is the deputy director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic.

As for testifying against Barty Crouch, a popular official in the Ministry of Magic and one of the candidates for the next Minister of Magic, this is exactly what the Daily Prophet likes to do.Just like they scolded Cornelius Fudge for a week during the summer vacation, when the deputy editor of the Daily Prophet heard the news provided by Rita, he waved his hand and made the headlines for the next week directly to him. Rita Skeeter, let her write it.

Although Rita's methods of gathering news are a bit clumsy, she is still very good at writing reports and showing off her writing skills. After some modifications by her, Eric's first draft was very successful.

At least when he walked in the school and heard other students discussing this matter, they all tended to criticize the Ministry of Magic's inaction, which caused their classmates to be injured.Many students from other houses showed sympathy for him when they met him, thinking that he was a poor student who had been wronged by the Ministry of Magic.

During Monday’s herbal medicine class, Mike Jowett took advantage of Professor Sprout’s attention and came to Eric’s side, complaining in a low voice: “I thought this would only happen if the government of the Muggle world did something. It’s a mistake, I didn’t expect that the government of the wizarding world is the same.”

Eric looked at him in surprise. If he remembered correctly, didn't this guy's parents work in the London City Government?

Mike shrugged and said disdainfully: "My dad's boss has done this before. There was something wrong with the decision he signed, and in the end my dad took the blame."

……

Having already experienced the first week of class, in the following days, the Gryffindor students finally felt the pain of senior students...after-school homework.

Although the professors considered that the little wizards' magical power was still very weak, and they did not know enough about magic knowledge, and the homework assignments were not many, all the students still raised their eyebrows when they heard the news that there were after-school homework assignments. Wail.

At the end of Tuesday's Transfiguration class, Lee Jordan couldn't help but complain about it, but was severely scolded by Professor McGonagall: "I feel that homework after class is quite necessary for you. After two classes, , your matches still failed to turn into needles. Especially you, Mr. Jordan, in class last week, your performance was the best in Gryffindor, but a week later, your Transfiguration didn't work. A little progress… don’t look at Mr. Foley.”

Professor McGonagall knocked on the podium, attracting the eyes of the students again when they heard that Lee Jordan was the best performer. They turned to look at Eric: "If you had his level of magic, I wouldn't give him You have assigned homework."

"Spare me!" On the way back to the lounge, Lee Jordan lowered his head and wailed while hugging the book: "Why did I actually say what was in my mind? Now Professor McGonagall is eyeing me and said If I can’t turn a match into a needle in the next class, I will be asked to stand up in class from now on.”

Fred and George looked at each other, and they held Li's shoulders, one on the left and the other on the right, with evil smiles on their faces: "Be content, Professor McGonagall treated you as a student of this college before, now look at Ai Rick was kicked out of Gryffindor simply because he ignored him."

Eric stuffed the intermediate Transformation Technique in his hand into his school bag. During the class just now, he had been reading this book. With the blessing of the passive skill 'Magic Theory', his Transformation Technique progress increased by more than ten points again. point.

Hearing the chat between the three of them, he curled his lips and reminded: "I have told you a long time ago that when performing the transformation technique, you must concentrate on it and simulate the finished product you want to transform in your mind, so that you can succeed."

The four of them climbed the stairs talking and laughing, not noticing a figure standing behind the corner of the stairs on the fourth floor, watching their backs quietly.
