I'm playing a big knife at HP

Hermione shoved a newspaper in front of Ron and Harry.The newspaper had a big headline "I Have No Choice" written in thick black letters, and a subhead below it read "Auror Marciana LaRosa Tells Her Uncanny Story"

In the picture under the title, Marciana looks sadly at the camera, she looks much thinner than she is now, her big eyes seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and her short hair hangs casually beside her cheeks, making her look a little more weak and childish.

Harry and Ron finished the report head to head.After reading it, Harry gritted his teeth and said, "I...I can understand Professor Larosa. Rolle killed her family and made her an orphan. If it was me, I would also want revenge."

Ron thought about it, "If anyone hurt my parents, Ginny and the others..." He scratched his hair, "I think I will do the same thing. Besides," Ron added, "The report said she was acting in self-defense."

Hermione hesitated for a moment, and Harry pressed, "Don't you agree?" He said unconvinced, "Don't you think it's wrong for us to think so?"

"No." Hermione sighed. "Anyway, here's the outcome of her case."

Ron laughed triumphantly, "We all know the result. If she was found guilty, she wouldn't be a professor at Hogwarts now."

"Okay." Hermione glared at him, and flipped a sheet with the words "Acquitted!"British Wizards Say: She's a Hero, Not a Sinner" newspaper moved aside.Ron picked up the newspaper again and flipped through it, "Hey! Look here! Assistant reporter Rita Skeeter reports... Haha, Skeeter's cow turned out to be an assistant reporter six years ago, tsk tsk tsk, The article was published in the entertainment section..."

Hermione rolled her eyes, "Her articles are a waste of paper when they are printed." She stretched her neck and glanced at Skeeter's hand-sized article squeezed next to the news about the tragic death of the celebrity dog. The title was "Beautiful lie?The LaRosa and Flynn Barrister's Scam".

Hermione pushed the last newspaper in front of Harry and Ron, "This is the last report."

"Nova Retires!Exclusively decrypting her mental journey", under the title, Marciana was wearing a formal gown, and her hair was changed back to the short elf hair they had seen in earlier reports, standing in the crowd and reading a manuscript.

-----------------------------------------------

"Marciana LaRosa, who became famous for capturing the Death Eater Roel and is regarded as a new Auror star, announced her resignation as an Auror yesterday. LaRosa's decision surprised many people. According to Auror Luo's office disclosed that they are considering promoting this elite Auror who is favored by the public.

"We've had a lot of letters asking for her to be promoted to Director of the Auror Office or even Director of Magical Law Enforcement, which is of course nonsense," the secretary of the Auror Office admitted, "but in the latest round of special operations team leader We're really considering Marciana seriously for the selection. She has potential."

According to statistics, it usually takes ten to fifteen years of experience for an Auror to be promoted to the leader of a special operations team. Marciana LaRosa's promotion is not unpleasant.So, what made her make such a decision?There are rumors that she has been treated unfairly in the Auror Office, however this has been categorically denied by the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Head of the Auror Office.

"We have stood behind Martha from the beginning to the end," said Amelia Bones, head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. "We will never turn our backs on our colleagues, and the so-called unfair treatment is completely false."

This morning, LaRosa released a public statement explaining the reasons for her resignation. "

---------------------------------------------

"...It was a difficult decision, but I think it's the right, necessary step." Harry and Ron whispered together.

While the three of Harry were huddling in the library, Severus Snape was spreading Rita Skeeter's article from the Daily Prophet in front of him.

He waved his wand, and the article on Marciana fell neatly from the newspaper and floated into a calfskin-bound notebook.

Snape turned the notebook to the index beginning with the letter L, tapped his wand, and read out "Marciana La Rosa". The notebook, which was originally only a few thin pages, suddenly became as thick as two knuckles. A document containing newspaper clippings, meticulously annotated analysis, and even fragments of old student homework appeared in front of Snape.

He flipped to the tab "Cases," added Rita Skeeter's latest report, and marked it "follow-up."

Before this latest briefing is an old clipping of Marciana reading a speech in the spotlight.

He pulled out the report.

"...becoming an Auror has been my childhood dream, because Auror represents courage, justice, and determination to protect the safety and order of our wizarding society. To me, this profession is sacred and worth dedicating to. Life." In the old newspaper, Marciana's young face was illuminated by spotlights.

"The job of Aurors is special because the power in our hands, our powers as enforcers, is given to us by the wizards of England. You trust Aurors to give us the power to use offensive spells when necessary, and Believe that we will not abuse it. This power has always made me proud and frightened me. In recent events, I realized that I have abused your trust when I had to. My actions have made many people feel proud The meaning of Auror, the power of Aurors, and the norms of law enforcement have been questioned, and I am deeply ashamed. Although once again, British wizards have shown your generosity of kindness and compassion for a young man, not because I Convicted of my faults, I cannot forget the suspicion and harm I have brought to my colleagues and to the Auror group. Therefore..."

Snape thought of Marciana he had met in fifth year career guidance.

At that time, the employment guidance of the Fourth Academy was still held together in the auditorium, and his seat was right next to Professor McGonagall's.When it was Marciana LaRosa's turn, he heard the Gryffindor prefect say firmly, "I want to be an Auror."

No maybe, maybe, or maybe, not even a little bit of interest.This girl has the unique firmness of a teenager, as if she is not stating her wish, but making a declaration.

No, she's not saying I'm going to be an Auror, she's saying "I'm going to be an Auror".

Snape remembered that Professor McGonagall took out the booklet and described to Marciana in detail how high the Auror's requirements were, requiring five certificates with good grades in all subjects.The girl nodded and listened with a smile, her face full of confidence.

why not?Snape thought, she's the first year, the prefect, the main Quidditch.What was more frightening than all this was her patience and perseverance, which are rare in teenagers.

He sometimes went to the Forbidden Forest to collect herbs in the early morning before the sun rose, and every time he saw this Gryffindor girl running around the Black Lake with a heavy load in the cold of the Scottish morning.He once saw her practicing extremely difficult flying skills alone in the rainstorm on the Quidditch field, and he also caught her practicing advanced spells in an empty classroom and experimenting with new formula potions (he deducted 10 points for Gryffindor) ).

He knew about the Auror training she was taking after school, and he figured she didn't sleep more than six hours a day.Madam Pomfrey had mentioned that she often had scars on her body, and she was the best at making potions for wounds.

If it's all for her ideal of being an Auror, then she does have the right to be confident.

"...so I decided to take the blame and resign, and I am willing to accept all investigations and punishments within the Ministry of Magic." Harry and Ron read.

Harry asked puzzledly, "I don't understand, that's not it. Why?" Hermione shook her head, with a rare puzzled look on her face.

"My mistake is my own and does not represent the attitude of the Auror Office or the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. My Auror colleagues all hold the most cautious attitude towards the power in their hands. I let my personal emotions overcome reason and Professional ethics, so I must apologize to my colleagues, superiors, and mentors."

"I, like my colleagues, have paid sweat, toil, tears, and even blood to join the Aurors." Snape's eyes paused for a moment on this sentence.

He thought of the short-haired girl in combat pants with a swollen face, and her eyes as calm as a black lake under the light.

Snape didn't know if it was worth six years of hard work for less than three years of professional life.He dropped his gaze on the last sentence of her statement.

"But now, the most necessary thing I can give to the profession of Auror is my Auror license."

On the day Marciana issued this statement, the Auror Office and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement announced that they would not conduct an internal investigation on her, and that punishment was unnecessary, but Director Burns accepted her resignation.

"Martha is undoubtedly an extremely capable Auror, but I want to emphasize that at our company, discipline and the code of conduct always comes first," she told the Daily Prophet.

Afterwards, this talented girl who was attracting attention at that time disappeared without a word.After a few weeks, even the English wizards who had debated her fiercely at the time had forgotten her.

Snape reckoned that no one other than Albus Dumbledore and Alastor Moody could be sure where she had gone.

He heard from Professor Sprout that Marciana left all her savings from working for several years to Moody, and took nothing but an old suitcase and a few clothes.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout sighed a lot for this-Marciana was very close to them when they were studying.However, about a week or so after she left, Snape received a very well-packed box with excellent freshness and space expansion spells cast on it.

Inside the box are several kinds of rare potion ingredients, all of which are fresh.In addition to marking the type, place of origin, year, and sealing date of the potion ingredients, there was only a note in the box, and two simple words were written on the note: Thank you.

The note was now in Snape's notebook.

His slender fingers touched the beautiful small characters, and suddenly flipped the information to the newspaper clipping.

He cut out the photo from Rita Skeeter's most recent story and put it in the file by itself, but he didn't put the article without the photo back under the "Marciana La Rosa" entry, but It was by flipping to the "Rita Skeeter" entry in the notebook and inserting the article.

He pulled out two more clippings titled "I Have No Choice" and "Acquitted," and put the two old papers under the heading "Richard Flynn."

Under the sad photo of Marciana, there is a line of slightly faded red italic ink dripping with ink: "She was never and never will be a fragile and confused little bird."

The author has something to say: The title of this chapter belongs to Churchill, a tribute to this superb orator.

Rita Skeeter is the only one who saw through the truth lol.

Unexpectedly, this little cold article has nearly 200 favorites.Double update today, the next chapter is fixed and released in the afternoon.
