Chapter 24: Rita Skeeter

"Perfect!"

Rita Skeeter clapped her hands, her face was full of smiles, and the greed in her eyes couldn't stop scanning the restless warriors. Seeing that they were about to leave, she quickly stopped, "Don't leave, don't leave!" There is a personal interview!"

"Ms. Skeeter, the students still have classes to attend." Dumbledore politely refused.

"Oh, Professor Dumbledore, didn't we agree before we came that the "Daily Prophet" would exclusively interview and report on the Triwizard Tournament? How could we write what the readers want to know without actually conducting an interview? What about the news?"

"Before I saw you, I thought it was Mr. Barnabas Guffey coming to Hogwarts. Also, as far as I know, Ms. Skeeter's usual direction is 'Fantastic Anecdotes'?" Dumbledore still said gently. (Barnabas Guffey, Editor, Daily Prophet)

"Oh, oh, you've wronged me, Dumbledore! Didn't you read the article I reported on you and the International Federation of Wizards in the summer? Since then, I have completely switched to front-line news The reporter—" Rita Skeeter said triumphantly, while using her own body to block the classroom door where the warriors wanted to go out.

"Oh, you mean the one where you wrote me as a 'foolish old lunatic'?" Dumbledore was very calm when facing the female reporter who spent an entire page of the newspaper this summer scolding him with fancy curses. Calm down, as if the report was not written by the reporter in front of him. "I especially enjoyed reading this passage."

"You know, in fact, I just said that some of your ideas are too outdated and too rigid-this is not a good thing in the wizarding world if you don't know how to be flexible." Rita Skeeter's face may have been strengthened with dragon skin Yes, she didn't feel shy in the face of the respected old wizard she slandered, she still opened her big red lips. "Okay, then change the interview to a group interview? I promise it won't be long, otherwise the audience won't know anything except the name of the warrior—"

"Dumbledore, let this lady do the interview." Mrs. Maxime's sensitive nerves were poked by her sentence "I don't know anything except the name", and she deliberately lowered her voice in Dumbledore's ear Said—of course, given her physique, which is currently firmly seated at the top of the entire Hogwarts, her "lowering her voice" is equivalent to sending a message from one end of the classroom to the other.

"Thank you very much, Mrs. Maxime! I believe that Beauxbaton, with such an elegant lady as the headmaster, must be an excellent school with outstanding personalities! We British wizards lack such an opportunity to get to know the beautiful France. When Rita Skeeter saw the headmaster of Beauxbatons talking to her, she quickly complimented her. She turned her eyes to the headmaster of Durmstrang, Igor Karkaroff, who was pretending to be reserved. Immediately hit the snake with the stick, and said with a friendly smile: "Presumably Principal Karkaroff doesn't mind letting the majority of British wizards really know Durmstrang, who has been trapped by rumors?"

Wearing a silver-white fur cloak, Karkaroff still looked at the vulgar witch in front of him with a smirk. He didn't really believe that this Skeeter could write any amazing articles, but everything could He was willing to add fire to things that made Dumbledore angry: "Of course, this is Durmstrang's honor."

Dumbledore was convinced that if the two headmasters, who wanted to create some influence in Great Britain, knew what kind of reporter this Ms. Skeeter was, they might not know who was blocking the other.But the matter has come to this point, the other two principals have agreed, and he can't justify not agreeing. "Then, you have half an hour to interview ten warriors."

As for the warriors, after witnessing the whole process of the reporter and Dumbledore talking happily about the embarrassing issue of "old lunatic", they couldn't help feeling like they were in a wolf's den-they could refuse

Triton poked Victor, the German school student who was closest to him, and asked curiously (ba) (gua): "Trapped by rumors"? Doesn't Durmstrang actually teach black magic?"

Victor responded frankly: "Of course, professor. We don't have defense, only black magic. Yes, use violence to control violence."

"What is that rumor?" Triton asked.

Now, before Victor, who was still racking his brains thinking about how to form English words into sentences, answered, he overcame the burden in a rather happy mood: "Of course it is the 'Black Magic Factory'. Gellert Does Grindelwald know?"

The evil deeds of this black wizard are simply too numerous to describe. Leaving aside the books on the history of magic, even in the field of charms, there are many classics that will introduce the "great achievements" of this German wizard as a negative teaching material.If the most powerful white wizard of this century is Albus Dumbledore, then the black wizard who is as famous as him should be Gellert Grindelwald.

Triton nodded puzzled.

Guy's tone was a little low, "Gellert Grindelwald, and the saints under his command, all came from Durmstrang. They set off a bloody storm in Europe, and ruined the reputation of their alma mater."

Victor clenched his fists and said nothing when he heard this part of the past. It was Triton who thought he was also feeling sorry for this part of history, and patted him to comfort him. This big man who has always been not good at words Cai said in a deep voice: "Gellert Grindelwald killed my grandfather, and Krum will never forget the blood vendetta."

"Grindelwald has been in Newgarmond for almost half a century, and he may be using this method to atone for his sins." Triton said with some uncertainty, this wizard not only launched a war in the European wizarding world, He didn't let go of even the Muggle world.It's hard to say what Europe would be like today if the Nazis hadn't fallen and Grindelwald himself hadn't accepted the duel with Dumbledore's wizard.

Guy, who was actually feeling sorry for his pig teammate, thought about it silently, and determined that he couldn't find any "Krum" other than "Victor Krum" from his memory.He glanced at Georg Scheidemann, who had been indifferent all this time, shrugged his shoulders and put the matter behind him.Not everyone who claims to have been killed by Grindelwald was killed by him.

Triton watched Durmstrang's trio of warriors go to the interview stand that Rita Skeeter made temporarily, and waved to the brother who had just come out: "Brother, what does she want to ask?"

"It's nothing, she didn't ask what Beauxbaton looks like." Kilpo Yang, who was wearing the sky blue wizard robe of Beauxbaton's winter school uniform, came over, and behind him were Fleur Delacour and Susan Na Byton frowned and went to Madame Maxime to say something to her.

"Dumbledore, why on earth did you not let that witch interview the warriors?"

Triton, who was eavesdropping unkindly, twitched his eyebrows, well, after a chattering French exchange, he directly changed from "that lady" to "that witch".Rubbing his ears innocently, Triton didn't eavesdrop on purpose, who made that oversized headmaster have such a loud voice?

As for Dumbledore's explanation, Triton didn't hear it, because they had already taken over from Durmstrang and were walking towards the curly-haired witch with bright red lips like Granny Wolf.

"Why did they come out so soon? Didn't they say 10 minutes per school?" The simple boy Cedric asked, looking at his teammates with some concern, "Maybe we will be soon too?"

"It's me and you will be soon." Draco said sharply.

For the so-called group interview, Beauxbaton took a total of three minutes and 40 seconds, and Durmstrang took a total of five minutes and 55 seconds, of which Rita Skeeter used four minutes and 55 seconds to question the world-famous football star Victor Klum's private life.It took Skeeter a minute to get rid of Georrig and Guy, and he asked whether it was true that a certain lady, a certain actress and even a certain coach claimed to have a good night with Krum, like a cannonball. After Klum sternly denied that it was all speculation, the lady began to ask a series of questions that had already been asked by Yuji.

Victor, the world superstar, and the current student, Krum's face was all black when he came out, and his two teammates followed behind him sympathetically.

Triton looked at Cedric and Draco who had successfully escaped from the sea of ​​misery (Cedric took 30 seconds, and Draco took a minute and a half), and looked at Zheng Yong with a bitter face. Rita Skeeter, who was looking at Harry with loving eyes that really wanted to eat blood and suck bones, and her weird bright green shorthand quill.

"Oh, Harry, so what motivated you to sign up for such a dangerous race?"

"This, maybe I want to prove my ability—"

Look, it's this seemingly normal conversation, let's see how that damn quill writes——

"When we talked about why Harry Potter, the famous Boy Who Lived, signed up for such an extremely dangerous event with a high death rate, the other party's startling green eyes shone with ambition The brilliance of talent: It is this kind of game that is dangerous enough to be qualified as a stepping stone for me.I beat the whole of Hogwarts to be in the top four, just to let my long-dead parents be proud of my success and hard work by Merlin's side. 』

Triton: "..."

Harry: "..."

"Ah, haha, never mind it, Harry, let's continue." Rita Skeeter smiled coquettishly and waved her manly hand, "So, how do you treat your teammates and opponents?" What do you see?"

Harry looked at the nonsense shorthand quill angrily: "I didn't say those words at all, if you continue to write scribbles with your quill against my wishes, I will not cooperate with any of your interviews, and you Don't even try to bring those 'nonsense' out of this room."

Draco originally wanted to remind his stupid teammate Potter that offending a well-known reporter in the "Daily Prophet" was not something that a Hogwarts student like him with the title of "Savior" could bear the consequences. It's just that when he thought about it, Dumbledore would support Potter no matter what, so he continued to sit there peacefully and watch the show.

As for Triton, he scratched his head, feeling that these words seemed familiar. (Of course, the part about your confrontation with Moody has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially the cubs with a sense of justice have spread all over the world-wait, it seems that Moody is from Gryffindor?)

Rita Skeeter smiled as usual, and she even put away her shorthand quill cooperatively, leaving only the parchment in front of her. "Ah, ah, you really deserve to be the savior, you are so imposing at such a young age——"

Triton listened to her and asked a few more questions, but what always made him feel a little bit out of place was...why there was the rustling sound of two nibs scratching across the parchment?

"Finally here you are, Mr. Winter! I have admired your name for a long time—" Rita Skeeter stared intently at this rare creature that hadn't appeared in hundreds of years, and the opportunity now is so good Yes, there is a magic barrier here, and the potions professor who was sitting outside and staring at this place couldn't hear what happened here—she changed a blank parchment, and started to ask in a hot tone: "Mr. Knowing that you first went to school for wizards in the far east, what made you decide to come to England after receiving the letter from Hogwarts? Did Headmaster Dumbledore say something to you?"

Triton heard the rustle of double quills again, he raised his eyebrows, and said meekly under Skeeter's eager gaze: "Oh, my admission, actually, I don't know why I accepted it. Admission letter to Hogwarts (because of course he changed his Lebanese nationality)—”

"You mean that Dumbledore used some unknown means to probe your address and force you to enroll?" Rita Skeeter asked excitedly.

"Oh... well, this is what you said, I didn't say anything, I didn't say that Professor Dumbledore came to my door (third grade, um)—" Triton's face was just right. Very flustered and successfully made Rita Skeeter go crazy like a fly staring at the seam, trembling all over, being led away by Triton——

Then the two of them chatted for 10 minutes about all kinds of gossip about the greatest white wizard of this century, the current headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, under the dull eyes of the other three. Tet even forgot to ask about Triton's family situation like anyone else.

Of course, when Dumbledore came to remind him that the interview time had come, Triton hadn't forgotten to apologize to Dumbledore sincerely.

Now, Rita Skeeter looked at Dumbledore even more undisguisedly proud.

Note, Maxime = Maxime = puff ha ha ha ha is Max + oversized!The Maximes of other people's homes are all Maksimes, and I knew that Rowling had a dark belly——

Note, words such as rigid old lunatic, shy, and green are taken from Kazakhstan 4.

Triton: Stupid author, why are you so smart?

F: ...Because I have four wisdom teeth?100% IQ bonus...

Triton: Since you're so smart, why don't you hook up with the editor?

F: ...Because I'm saving 1000 articles...and hooked up with an editor, can ta collect it for me?

Triton: (with a look of doubt) Then why do you need so many articles—you want to open V?Are you going to sell your brains?

F: ...Of course I don't want V... You don't know, there is a saying... Whether you want V is one thing, but whether you can get V is another thing... So, 1000 articles are just for trying Are you capable enough?

Triton: Then will you be V in the future?

F: Hey, hey, don't you think it will be too soon to talk about the future if you don't get 1000?Moreover, even if there is a red poke in the heart after a date of five years, it will be hairy.

Triton: I made it, so you are so smart, it is because your wisdom teeth are overgrown, so you have inflammation (water in your brain).

F: That’s right, as long as I can pass this hurdle, I can tell all the hideous people who ask me “ah, you are writing articles, how much do you earn” with peace of mind: I am a pure hobby.

Triton: Now it's 455, let's work hard and see if you can reach the 1000 you have dreamed of for a long time.

Cui Dun: ... (This customer service has been offline, and the online time is uncertain, dear!)

F: Alright dear, I’ll mess with coding...because even if I don’t get 1000, I still have 【Lovely Reader】in my bag... So, where are you going to mess with Mianmian?
