[HP] The Seven Deadly Sins

Harry knew that his unexplained limelight was bound to upset many, but he felt that as long as his friends believed him, he didn't mind what others thought.

Most of his friends did believe him. Draco and Hermione were more worried about Harry's safety than how he was chosen. After all, the Triwizard Tournament is not a child's play, and the death toll over the years is there ,shocking.

Mary also believed Harry's words, because they were facing the same situation: Mary was also "enrolled" and selected without knowing it.

But what Harry didn't expect was that his best friend Ron didn't want to believe him.But Mary had clearly anticipated this situation.

"Ron thinks we betrayed him. He must still think it's a great thing to be able to participate in this stupid game." Mary sneered, "It's okay, wait, Harry. After watching the first game It won’t feel that way anymore.”

I hope so, Harry thought.On the one hand, he was exasperated at Ron's distrust, and on the other hand, he was a little bit villy delighted that Mary had been drawn into such a situation with him.

As with the Hogsmeade incident last term, no matter how bad it is, it's less unbearable when you have someone to take it on with you - especially if that person is special.

As for Mary going to fight for Beauxbatons—

"Your safety is the most important thing, other things don't matter." Hermione said so.

During a Potions class, a Gryffindor named Colin Creevey came and told Harry and Mary to go find Ludo Bagman, but Snape snorted and let them go anyway.

"What does Mr. Bagman want us to do?" Harry asked Colin while the atmosphere was quiet and awkward along the way, rubbing his nose.

"I think it's for taking pictures or something? So that it can be published in the Daily Prophet." Colin didn't know very well, he kept looking at Harry with adoring eyes, "How amazing, Harry, you have become Warrior!" Eagerly, as if there was no one like Mary nearby.

"Uh, yes." Harry replied heavily, glancing at Mary, but Mary ignored them at all.

"Good luck!" Finally, Colin said excitedly as he sent them to the room.

All the other warriors except Harry and Mary had arrived, along with Ludo Bagman, a woman with lace glasses, and a man with a video camera.

"Very well, all here!" Ludo Bagman said briskly, "Nothing to be nervous about, folks, it's just a wand-testing ceremony."

"Detecting the wand?" Harry was a little uneasy.

"We have to make sure that your wands are fully functional and perform well," Ludo Bagman explained. "By the way, this is Rita Skeeter. She is writing an article for the Daily Prophet. Small article..."

"Maybe it's not a small article." Rita Skeeter interrupted him, looking at Harry. "I wonder if I could have a few words with Harry before the wand test? You know, in order to add to the article." Some color... After all, he is the youngest warrior."

It's not fair!Harry thought a little annoyed that he was indeed the youngest of the warriors, but Mary was only less than two months older than himself.

"Of course, as long as Harry agrees," said Ludo Bagman. "Harry, do you agree?"

"Um--"

"Great!" Rita Skeeter decisively dragged Harry away.Harry looked at Mary beggingly for help, but Mary, who was chatting with Hirschman, didn't seem to notice this.

Merlin's smelly socks!Harry cursed hard in his heart.

"Okay, Harry, let me think about it..." Rita Skeeter sat down and changed a comfortable position, "So, what made you decide to sign up for the Triwizard Tournament?"

"I didn't—" Harry's attention was drawn to Rita Skeeter's automatic quill.Although he had only spoken three words, the quill had already written a long paragraph in full swing.

"An ugly scar, a memento of a tragic past, marring Harry Potter's otherwise handsome and charming face, his eyes—"

"..." Harry raised his eyebrows.

"Leave that pen alone!" Rita Skeeter said firmly. "So, how do you feel about the first project?"

"I'm probably a little nervous, I—"

Rita didn't seem to care what Harry answered, throwing her own questions one after another: "Have you ever considered the fact that so many warriors have died in the Triwizard Tournament before? Oh, sure, you have. Has the many recent deaths affected you in any way? Do you think that trauma from your past has made you eager to prove yourself?  …”

"Hmm..." Harry stammered.

"Do you remember your parents?" Rita Skeeter asked domineeringly. "How do you think they felt when they found out you were in the Triwizard Tournament?"

"..." How could I know this?Harry was starting to get really annoyed.

"You have not only Gryffindor among your friends, but also two from Slytherin. Do you think it's appropriate for the savior of the wizarding world to do this?"

"I don't see where it's inappropriate!" said Harry angrily.

"Then, did you make friends with Mr. Malfoy because of the status of the Malfoy family in the wizarding world?"

"Bullshit!"

"Last question." Rita Skeeter ignored Harry's excitement. "As far as I know, you have two female friends by your side. Which one do you like better?"

"What? They are all good friends of mine. There is no one I like more."

"Oh, you know what I mean." Rita Skeeter waved her hand impatiently. "As a boy, which one do you prefer?"

"...Hermione has a boyfriend," Harry said dryly.

"Really, but I heard that Ms. Flamel also has a boyfriend, Mr. Einzbern, who is also a warrior." A light flashed in Rita Skeeter's eyes, "You don't know about it yet Is it? Or are you unwilling to admit—"

The door was suddenly pushed open vigorously, and Dumbledore stepped in, ending this definitely not a pleasant interview.

"Hey, Harry, where were you just now?" Mary hurried over, "I just turned around and said something to Hirschman, and you disappeared."

"..." Harry was still in a trance.

"Are you all right?" Mary asked, worried in her tone.

"What? Oh, of course it's nothing, just accepted an interview." Harry comforted, "Okay, the wand testing ceremony is about to begin."

Mary looked at him again before returning to sit down beside Hirschman.

Soon, it was Mary's turn.

"Nice to see you again at Hogwarts, Miss Flamel." Mr. Ollivander said to Mary with his big, scary light-colored eyes open.

"Where else? Azkaban?" Mary said.

"..." Ollivander shifted his gaze to Mary's wand, "I remember very well, yew wood and dragon's heart tendon, twelve inches long, extremely powerful..." He pointed at Mary's wand It took a long time, almost as long as it took to examine Harry's wand, and finally let it burst into flames and concluded, "Perfect, no problems, Miss Flamel."

Next came the group photo of the warriors. The photographer really wanted Mary and Fleur to stand in front, but Rita Skeeter insisted that Harry and Hessman stand on both sides of Mary, which made Mary a little embarrassed and I don't know why, and Harry and Hessman's faces are not very good.

Rita Skeeter's report was soon published in the Daily Prophet, and Harry swore it was the greatest shame he'd ever seen, and the look on Mary's face when he read it made him want to find a place to sew Get in.

"I think my parents gave me strength. I know they would be so proud of me if they could see me now... Oh, Harry!" Mary looked up. "Why do you say that? It's as if you signed up for the Triwizard Tournament yourself."

"I've never said anything like that! It's all made up by that woman, Rita Skeeter!" Harry replied through gritted teeth, his face flushed.

"Harry is right, that woman from Skeeter has never been reliable," Draco said.

"That's right." Still, Mary continued to watch, "Yes, I still cry for them sometimes at night, and I don't feel ashamed to admit it, I know nothing in the game can hurt me , because they are guarding me in the dark...I now believe that this is definitely not what you said, Harry, you have never been so literary."

"..." Harry didn't know how to answer.Fortunately, Mary only took this report as a joke.

"Harry Potter finally found his first love at Hogwarts...how did I not know?!" Mary stared at Harry without a trace of a smile on her face, she was extremely serious.

"Mary, you know it's all made up." Hermione sneered, "Who is it in the newspaper?"

"Oh, come on, Hermione!" Harry protested softly.

"The taste of first love should be sweet, but for Harry Potter, it is a bit more bitter. As the savior of the wizarding world, the righteous Gryffindor fell in love with a..."

"Stop reading, Mary!" Harry suddenly realized what was going to be written later, and stood up to grab Mary's newspaper, but Mary quickly dodged it.

Mary gave Harry a hard look, flipped quickly to the back of the paper, and read: "...fell in love with a Slytherin—Miss Marie Flamel—"

She suddenly got stuck, opened her eyes and looked at the newspaper for a while, then looked at Harry again: "...you have a crush on me?"

"No... this... how to put it..." Harry stammered, rationally telling him that he should lightly tell Mary that it was another thing made up by that woman Rita Skeeter, but what is the tongue I can't straighten it either.It took him a while to realize that there seemed to be a hint of a smile in Mary's voice.

"Pfft ha ha ha ha!" For Mary, such a hearty laugh is rare, enough to see how ridiculous she thinks it is, "Harry you are so cute, whoops." She wiped Tears of laughter, "Sure enough, there is not a single fact in this reporter's article."

"…" No, that was probably the only real thing in the report, and Draco and Hermione looked at Harry with some sympathy.

"The youthful crush made Harry Potter extremely painful. At this time, another female companion by his side, Miss Hermione Granger, would always comfort him patiently..." Mary continued to read, raising her head high. eyebrows, "Why did she drag Hermione again."

"My dear Potter, that's not a very funny joke." Draco's eyes go out to Harry.

"Draco, you know I don't mean that to Hermione at all." Harry quickly defended.

"Of course." Draco smiled slightly, "Your thoughts are all about a Miss Slytherin, aren't you?"

"Stop it!" Harry gave Mary a nervous look. "Stop it," he begged in a low voice.

"Thinking about it, at least Skeeter didn't include Draco in the whole article." Mary continued to read the article, as if she didn't notice the commotion here.

The rest of that article is all about the "love triangle" between Harry, Mary and Hermione, and Rita Skeeter described an extremely vulgar campus romance in less than a thousand words ——

The savior Harry has a crush on Mary, the highland flower of the school, but he can't ask for it because of the hostile relationship between the colleges. At this time, the gentle and considerate Hermione appeared to enlighten him carefully, and Harry's heart slowly moved closer to her. But still miss Mary...

I have to say that Rita Skeeter's writing - or her quill's writing - is not bad, and even if it is written like this, it doesn't make people feel that Harry is a scumbag or that Hermione has a third party. The feeling of meddling or Mary's arrogance is annoying.

But few people here are obviously not very satisfied with this article.

"It's getting cold," Mary glanced out the window wistfully. "Let the Daily Prophet go bankrupt."

"Agreed." Draco and Harry said vaguely between bites of bread.

These three local tyrants!Hermione suddenly understood Ron very well.
