All Heavens: Transfer Students at Hogwarts

Chapter 70 Are you done?

The angry little lions gathered around the Gryffindor table. They clutched the Daily Prophet and denounced Rita Skeeter's remarks as confusing right and wrong.

"You little man who plays with words! Damn you!" the little witches screamed.

"She has to be taught a lesson."

"Let her bleed. It hurts two bones." Several senior boys squeezed their fists and put on a tough posture.

"That's right, if it's just a prank, it won't frighten her, it must see blood."

Rita Skeeter was as slanderous as she could be in her journalism, citing vague evidence that Lind was a liar. This evidence includes: he once served as a teaching assistant in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class and made some ridiculous remarks; several conversation records of students on campus mentioned that transfer students secretly organized secret societies and recruited a group of witches as supporters. Alas; his attendance sheet showed that the truancy problem was extremely serious. Not only did he frequently skip classes, he never attended some classes and engaged in unknown activities outside school for a long time.

All these are enough to prove that De Linzhi is uneducated and has a strong "desire for power" and "desire for control." It is hinted that he may be an admirer and follower of You-Know-Who, a small Death Eater who infiltrated the school and was interested in becoming the next Dark Lord.

To explain why Linde was able to write a professional treatise on transfiguration. Later in the article, by describing Professor McGonagall's special attention to him, Rita implies that the real author of the Transfiguration paper was Minerva McGonagall, and that Lind merely plagiarized the paper from her through rhetoric. A villain who commits academic fraud.

What's more, Rita declared that—in fact, Lindh was a white glove of Professor McGonagall, a scapegoat, specially used to publish the controversial paper, so as not to attract abuse from the academic circle and damage her reputation .

The author concluded at the end of the article: There is no such thing as a genius boy in the world, everything is a show used by the prestigious school Hogwarts to promote itself. And the transfer student De Lin is even more evil and greedy for position and wealth.

This press release is flamboyant and sharp in writing, criticizing the dark and ugly from the moral high ground, and the lines are full of awe-inspiring momentum without fear of authority.Although the article itself is full of logical loopholes and self-contradictions, and the source of the testimony is also very suspicious, it is enough to make spectators in the magic world treat it as exciting talk.

Everyone can sit in an armchair, drink coffee, tea, eat two scones, and experience emotional ups and downs while reading this news. , and then looked left and right, "I knew that the transfer student was a fake." "Professor McGonagall is just a hypocritical politician." "Hogwarts has fallen under the hands of Dumbledore."

When it comes to the school's reputation, even students who don't like Lind are angry. What's more, Linde still has a group of loyal fans in school. Spanning four colleges, witches are the majority. Even though they are just students, there are quite a few children from pure-blood families.

The students of Gryffindor are loyal and willing to stand up for the gentle big brother De Lin. The kitty of Ravenclaw respects the wise, so they stand up to defend the young talented transfer students. The honor of Lita is regarded as a treasure, so he also joined the condemnation of Rita.

The strange thing is Slytherin. It is said that they all hate Gryffindor, and their temperament is relatively indifferent and selfish, but they generally have great enthusiasm and attachment to the strong. They have seen De Lin's magic, and they are spontaneously loyal The students with the most followers are the students of this academy.

Therefore, "The Daily Prophet" immediately angered 30% to 40% of the students in the school. The witches of the Thirty-Year Fever Dream Sisterhood begged parents to write a letter to the Ministry of Magic to complain about Rita Skeeter, and also actively mobilized other students to join in. The wizards, represented by the Weasley brothers, inquired about Rita's address and daily activity route, and prepared to meet offline to have a chat.

This incident also had repercussions within the teaching community. Professor Quirrell asked Snape for Veritaserum that day, and decided to seize Rita's tongue full of lies. Professor McGonagall directly wrote to the newspaper, asking them to retract the article. , causing the writer to issue a public apology. After learning about it, Dumbledore visited the Ministry of Magic and asked the current Minister Cornelius Fudge to launch an illegal review of Rita Skeeter.

Fudge's desk was almost inundated with complaints from the Ministry of Magic in one day. Some are from parents of students, some are from Hogwarts alumni and graduates.

"De Lin, De Lin, it's this De Lin again. What's his background?" Fudge was in a state of distress.

"A transfer student, sir."

"What about the specific files? Which county was he born in, his family situation, when was the wand registered, and are there any traces on him?"

"The registered wand was in July last year, cypress wood, dragon heartstring. The trace was applied uniformly in October and has been at Hogwarts Castle and has not moved. The birth information has not been registered. In addition, De Lin has also appeared in "Transfiguration Today" Published papers."

"Looks like he's a model student." Fudge nodded, with a hint of worry on his amiable face, "I'm very popular. It's even better than... oh, let's forget it. In short, this matter must be An explanation, at least let Dumbledore's mouth be gagged. Send a letter to Rita Skeeter, asking her to report to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement before three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and accept the review of abuse of reporter rights."

The fake news incident was brewing, and a few days later, many other newspapers and media published articles criticizing the Daily Prophet's press release for being substandard. The Daily Prophet launched a counterattack, and the two sides engaged in a spat.

The boring British wizarding world became a lot more lively because of an article written by Rita Skeeter, and the circulation of the newspaper increased significantly.

However, the protagonist Linde in the article did not know about this and did not care at all. Others tried to find him, but there was no news. It was as if he was just an outsider in the turmoil.

In fact, the Linde people are doing experiments in the border area, and they are so busy that their mobile phones are turned off.

When he showed up again, it was already mid-February. Linde's face was filled with joy and he seemed to be in a good mood. As soon as he appeared in the auditorium, everyone laughed, and someone shouted: "De Lin, you are absent from class again!" He spread his hands without answering, went to find a seat at the long Gryffindor table, and poured a glass of milk. Take two croissants.

"De Lin, where have you been these days? I can't find you anywhere." Percy frowned, seeming worried or dissatisfied.

"What's wrong?" Linde was surprised, "I'm busy doing experiments."

"What else can happen? Everyone is fighting against the evil reporter Rita Skeeter to protect your reputation!" The students explained in a hurry.

Linde didn't even take two bites of the meal before he was surrounded by people expressing condolences to him. Everyone thought that he couldn't accept the slander in the newspaper and was hiding secretly to feel sad.

The transfer student was amused and shook his head helplessly, "What's going on? How is the situation now?"

"Don't worry, we won a big victory!" The Weasley twins patted their chests, looking like they had returned victorious.

Indeed, Rita paid the price for her momentary anger. She was forced by pressure from all sides, and she was very tough at first. She knew that the Ministry of Magic could not convict, and at most she could ask the newspaper to withdraw the article, so Rita He exaggerated his experiences these days and regarded them as evidence of being suppressed, which made him very famous.

As anonymous threatening letters from Hogwarts students flew in, she began to feel uneasy. Until two days ago, a group of strange wizards in scary costumes blocked Rita on her way home and threatened her to withdraw her manuscript, otherwise she would disappear from the world.

Rita was terrified and panicked to report to the Aurors, but the Ministry of Magic tried every means to shirk her. She finally realized that the seriousness of the situation was beyond the controllable range.The witch immediately declared that she would hold a public press conference, invited Linde to attend, and apologized to him in person.

The press conference was scheduled to be held in Diagon Alley. Lind took leave that day, and Professor McGonagall took him to attend the conference.

The magic flashlights of various newspapers were impatient, and Rita's forced fake smile was recorded. Next to her was the calm-faced transfer student De Lin.

"...Given that my report may be slightly different from the real situation, I would like to express my sincere apologies for causing trouble to this Hogwarts classmate."

Lind sat in the center of the long table and looked around at the crowd. Diagon Alley was always lively. Professor McGonagall, representing Hogwarts, sat on his left. Several members of the Daily Prophet and Rita sat to his right.

"Are you done?" He did not use the amplifying spell, but asked softly. No more than four people heard this sentence.

With exaggerated makeup on her face and long manicure on her hands, Rita looked like a dressed-up anteater. She pretended to be happy and shouted: "It seems that Mr. De Lin has forgiven me." , he is a true gentleman, regardless of past grudges, and has a tolerant and kind heart towards beautiful ladies!”

"This is your last sentence as a wizard? Well, I thought you would speak more philosophically." Linde stood up gently and looked at Rita Skeeter beside him, "Now, please Just listen to me quietly, okay?"
