The Heavens: Hogwarts Transfer Students

Gryffindor's long table gathered furious lion cubs. Clutching the Daily Prophet, they denounced Rita Skeeter as misleading.

"Little man playing with words! Damn it!" 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 vilifying as she could be in her journalism, citing much vague evidence that Lindh was a ostentatious liar. These evidences include: he once served as a teaching assistant in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and made some absurd remarks; several conversation records of students in the school mentioned that the transfer students organized secret associations in private, and even recruited a group of witches as supporters. His attendance sheet shows that the problem of absenteeism is extremely serious. Not only are he frequently absent from class, he has never participated in some courses, and he has been engaged in unidentified activities outside the school for a long time.

All these are enough to prove that De Lin is ignorant, and is extremely rich in "desire for power" and "desire for control". It is implied that he may be an admirer and follower of the mysterious person, a small Death Eater who sneaked into the school, and intends to become the next Dark Lord.

To explain why Lindh was able to write a professional transfiguration treatise. In the second half of the article, by depicting Professor McGonagall's special attention to him, Rita implied that the real author of the transfiguration paper was Minerva McGonagall, and Linde just plagiarized the paper from her through rhetoric, A villain who engages in academic dishonesty.

What's more, Rita claimed 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 writer concluded at the end of the article: there are no talented youngsters in the world, and everything is just a show for the prestigious school of Hogwarts to advertise itself. And the transfer student De Lin is even more of a bad guy with bad intentions and greed for position.

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 the students who don't like Linde are very angry. What's more, Linde still has a group of loyal fans in the school. Across the four academies, especially witches accounted for the majority, although they were all just students, there were 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.

So the "Daily Prophet" immediately annoyed 30 to 40 percent of the students in the school. The witches of the Three Year Hot Dream Sisterhood implored their parents to write to the Ministry of Magic to complain about Rita Skeeter, and actively mobilized other students to join them. The wizards, represented by the Weasley brothers, inquired about Rita's address and daily activities, and planned to meet offline and have a good chat.

This incident also had repercussions among the teachers. Professor Quirrell asked Snape for the Veritaserum on the same day, and decided to grab Rita's tongue full of lies. Professor McGonagall directly sent a letter to the newspaper, asking them to withdraw the manuscript. , Let the writer issue a public apology statement, Dumbledore visited the Ministry of Magic after learning about it, and asked the current Minister Cornelius Fudge to initiate an illegal review of Rita Skeeter.

Fudge's desk was almost flooded with letters of complaint received by the Ministry in a single day. Some are from parents of students, others 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 traces on him?"

"The registered wand was in July last year, cypress, and dragon heartstring. Zongsi was imposed uniformly in October, and it has been in Hogwarts Castle. 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."

Fake news incidents were brewing, and a few days later, many other newspapers and media successively published articles criticizing the substandard draft of the "Daily Prophet". The "Daily Prophet" launched a counterattack, and the two sides fought back and forth.

The boring British wizarding world is much more lively because of an article by Rita Skeeter, and the circulation of the newspaper is greatly increased.

However, Lin De, the protagonist in the article, doesn't know about this and doesn't care. Others wanted to find him, but there was no news. As if he was just an outsider in this 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 brimming 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 missed class again!" He spread his hands and did not answer. He went to sit down at the long table in Gryffindor, 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 we do? Everyone is fighting against the evil reporter Rita Skeeter in order to defend your reputation!" The students clamored to explain.

Linde didn't eat two mouthfuls of this meal, and he was surrounded by people who condoled him. Everyone thought that he couldn't accept the slander in the newspaper, and secretly hid himself to be sad.

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

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

Indeed, Rita paid the price for her fascination. She was forced by pressure from all sides, and she was very stubborn at the beginning. She knew that the Ministry of Magic would not be able to prosecute the crime. At most, she asked the newspaper to withdraw the article, so Rita Just adding fuel to what happened to me these days, and treating it as evidence of being suppressed, it really made a splash.

With the flood of anonymous threatening letters from Hogwarts students, she also began to feel uneasy. Until two days ago, a group of strange wizards with scary appearances blocked Rita on the way home, threatening to let her withdraw the 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 arranged to be held in Diagon Alley. Linde asked for leave that day, and Professor McGonagall took him to the conference.

The magic flashlights of various newspapers have long been impatient, and Rita's forced smirk was recorded, and beside her was the calm-faced transfer student De Lin.

"...In view of the fact 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."

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

"Finish?" He didn't use the Amplifying Charm, but just asked in such a soft voice, no more than four people heard this sentence.

With exaggerated makeup on her face and long manicure on her hands, Rita looked like a costumed anteater, and she exclaimed with feigned joy: "It seems that Mr. de Lin has forgiven me , he is a true gentleman, regardless of the past, with a tolerant kindness to 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?"
