Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 893: Gossip

On the south side of Diagon Alley, at the Defense Guide office, editor-in-chief Remus Lupin is frowning at the parchment in his hand, scrutinizing the manuscript for next month's magazine publication.

"Sirius, are we really going to do this?"

Lupin put down his column on the Triwizard Tournament and looked up at Sirius, who was flipping through the Daily Prophet.

"Why not?" Sirius asked rhetorically. "We're telling the truth."

"Dumbledore's going to be upset, you know, and that's going to tarnish the Triwizard Tournament." Lupin knew very well that once the news that Karkaroff was a Death Eater leaked Going out, what kind of turmoil will it cause in the UK.

"Stain? This game has long been full of smudges." Sirius sneered: "Since the fourth warrior appeared in the Triwizard Tournament, and since Karkaroff was kicked off the referee's bench by the audience, the entire three Do you still need to worry about being told by others in the Strong Tournament?"

Lupin was silent because it was the truth, and the truth is sometimes more cruel than the lie.

"Dumbledore invited Mad-Eye to teach at school. I suspect it was to guard against Karkaroff." Sirius made no secret of his disgust for Karkaroff. It should be said that he hated all Death Eaters. "We all know that Karkaroff is very good at acting. He successfully persuaded the Ministry of Magic to release him, and then inexplicably became Durmstrang's headmaster. Don't you think that guy is suspicious?"

"So, you're going to use this to keep everyone's attention on Karkaroff and avoid him privately..." Before Lupin could finish speaking, Sirius interrupted him.

"What you said is only one of the reasons." Sirius dropped the "Daily Prophet" and said to his old friend: "This is the opportunity for the "Defense Guide" to take off."

Lupin was stunned, not understanding what Sirius meant for a while.

"Remus, you have to understand that if the "Defense Guide" is to be widely valued in the magical world, we need to find another way, and we need to make everyone understand that the knowledge taught in the "Defense Guide" is useful, tell them The news is also true, no one wants to be deceived, the audience needs the truth, even if the truth is very cruel." Sirius recalled Albert's words.

One day, you need the Defense Guide to speak for yourself, and until then, get as many people as possible to accept it, identify with it, and believe it.

As for making money, don't worry, when the time comes, you will naturally not be afraid of not making money.

Although Sirius doesn't understand Albert's words, he believes in Albert and is willing to trust the guy who can predict the future.

"In fact, a lot of the content on the Daily Prophet is made up at random. It's good to have three points of truth." Sirius said, "Everyone needs the truth."

"Oh, okay! Now that you've decided." Lupin's eyes fell back on the parchment in his hand, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Anderson asked you to do this?"

Before Sirius could answer, Lupin continued, "I always feel like he's planning something."

"Accurately speaking, he should be preparing for the future." Sirius said his judgment, "He probably predicted some bad future."

"A bad future?" Lupin asked, raising his eyebrows. "Did he tell you anything?"

"He didn't reveal too much, but I think that's what he meant." Sirius, carefully sorting through the information he had received from Albert, said in a playful tone, "Maybe, Anderson wanted to tell us that Voldemort Will make a comeback."

"It's not funny at all," Lupin said suddenly.

"If it was before, I definitely wouldn't believe it." Sirius didn't finish what he said, but the meaning was already obvious.

"Does Dumbledore know?" Lupin asked again.

"I think he must know." Sirius said, "Dumbledore is more perceptive than us. After learning that Albert can predict, do you think he really won't go to Albert to predict?"

"That's right."

Silence fell again in the Defense Guide offices.

Actually, before the release of "Defense Guide" next month, Hogwarts Castle has already been fried, and I don't know who, quietly provoked the topic of why Karkaroff gave Albert 1 point , all sorts of startling rumors have sprung up at Hogwarts Castle, and they all sound plausible.

According to someone's accurate information, cheating is the norm in school-to-school competitions. Karkaroff's shameless practice of unscrupulousness in order to win is actually very common in inter-school competitions, but he did not expect to do it too much.

It was also said that Durmstrang's headmaster Karkaroff was extremely despised by Muggle wizards and did not want Muggle wizards to get high marks in the Triwizard Tournament, so he arrogantly gave Albert 1 point .

This statement is far more marketable than the previous ones.

Durmstrong does not admit Muggle wizards, and it's widely accepted that they look down on Muggle wizards.

After all, wouldn't it be normal for a guy to hang out with a Slytherin student?

It has also been suggested that the combination of these factors led Karkaroff to give Albert 1 point.

Sooner news broke out at the school that Karkaroff was actually a Death Eater.

This explosive news spread like wildfire. As the minions of the mysterious man, it is a matter of course to hate and hate Muggle wizards.

Then it was rumored that Harry Potter had somehow become a warrior at Hogwarts, but it was Karkaroff who used a powerful Confusion Charm to deceive the Goblet of Fire and put Harry Potter on the map. Special turned into a warrior, intending to use the game to murder Harry Potter's life. "

Before everyone could relax, someone else claimed that they saw Karkaroff surreptitiously approaching the Goblet of Fire during the night during the Warriors registration period, and directly confirmed that he had signed up for Harry.

These rumors are like fireworks exploding in the sky. More and more hot news exploded one after another, becoming the topic of chat among the students after dinner.

For example, the Dark Mark at the last Quidditch World Cup was actually made by Karkaroff, who was hiding among the masked evil Death Eaters.

These rumors spread so quickly that even the professors at the school heard similar rumors and got together to discuss the matter. After all, they weren't students who didn't know anything, and it was clear that Karkaroff was once a Death Eater, especially since there was a former Auror Mad-Eye among them who had captured Karkaroff.

Dumbledore didn't want this to affect Hogwarts' friendship with Durmstrang, so the professors never revealed to the students that Karkaroff was a Death Eater, luckily Karkaroff has not been seen at Hogwarts since his last dismissal from the referee's bench, and the turmoil should soon subside.

However, it never occurred to them that the Karkaroff incident was actually caused by someone to distract everyone.

"I really don't need to spread the news about Krum?" Lee Jordan has been very excited about the Karkaroff incident recently and has been trying to sneak another big news.

"No, this turmoil will continue for a long time." Albert vetoed Lee Jordan's sexual act. This guy intends to use the Flying Spell secretly to attract Krum's underwear in the dead of night, completely destroy it with magic, and then spread the news that Krum's underwear has been stolen.

"You're sure, people don't seem to be paying attention to this now," said Lee Jordan regretfully. "They're more concerned about the Christmas ball now."

George said, imitating Professor McGonagall, "The Christmas ball definitely gives us a chance to relax."

"Everyone is saying now that Dumbledore bought 800 barrels of mead from Mrs. Rosemerta with Three Broomsticks?" Fred couldn't help but complain, "Damn, Mrs. Rosemerta is going from Where can I get eight hundred barrels of flavored mead?"

"I think it's possible that he ordered the Weird Sisters to be true," Lee Jordan speculates. "It's not the first time this has happened."

To be honest, Albert wasn't interested in the Wacky Sisters songs, and thought it would be more plausible to have Beauxbatons' Yanila on stage.

"I asked Professor McGonagall for you and she said you could invite Isobel to the dance, but she thought it was a great opportunity for us to meet foreign guests."

The three are very aware of Albert's formal style, and 80% will not invite anyone other than his girlfriend to be their dance partner.

"Actually, you can invite Beauxbatons' warriors, and I don't think she will reject you." Fred said without hesitation.

"If you let the other girls hear this, they'll probably beat you into a pig's head," George reminded.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Lee Jordan suddenly said, "The Wizards Card Club finals will be played early next month."

"Who do you think has the best chance of winning the Wizards card this time?" Albert asked.

"Digory, Granger, Lovegood and Shanna are in the running for the championship." Lee Jordan said without hesitation, "Granger and Lovegood are the next two, but I think Granger The enthusiasm for wizard cards is not high, 80% will not put too much thought into wizard cards, she will definitely become a prefect, and she has a "vomit" club."

"As for Lovegood, she has enough enthusiasm for the wizarding card, but I'm a little worried about her organizational skills." Lee Jordan continued, "I heard she was called a crazy girl and got along with others. Not good."

"Anyone else?" Albert asked again.

"Although we have a large number of clubs, it is not easy to choose the right one."

"Let's wait until the wizarding card game is over." Albert thought for a moment and said, "If Luna wins, I'm afraid you'll have to invite her to the dance."

Fred and George both turned to look at Lee Jordan.

"Anyway, you haven't found a dance partner yet. If she wins, tell her clearly, she shouldn't refuse." Albert reached out and patted Lee Jordan on the shoulder with an expression of "please" .

"Fred and George haven't found a dance partner yet, and maybe she doesn't want to dance with Albert?" Lee Jordan made a last-ditch effort, "Well, if she really wins , whoever has not found a dance partner will invite her."

"No problem, we will definitely find a dance partner before you." Fred and George were confident in themselves.

As soon as the four entered the common room, they heard the girls talking about the Christmas ball.

Fred and George looked at each other and walked towards the girls, who returned after a while.

"It's done, now you're out of a dance partner." Fred said, patting Lee Jordan on the shoulder.

"Who did you invite, Angelina?"

"Yes," Fred said without hesitation. "She said yes."

"What about you?" Albert asked George, "Alia?"

"After all, being a Quidditch teammate for so many years has always had some advantages in that regard," said George with a smile.

"Of course, it could also be that we are handsome enough." Fred stroked his chin and said narcissistically, "Girls like handsome guys, just like boys like pretty girls."

The girls over there couldn't help but burst out laughing, apparently amused by Fred's words.

"These two **** are so quick," Lee Jordan said through gritted teeth, "No, I really want to hit people right now. I really want to do something big."

"No hurry, in two days, when the "Defense Guide" comes out, there will be major events." Albert said meaningfully.

"Damn, you didn't take me with you."

The release of the "Defense Guide" poured gasoline into the dying Death Eater storm, which completely detonated the Karkaroff incident that was about to be forgotten by the students.

The Defense Guide mentions Mr. "1 Point" in the Triwizard Tournament column.

Yes, Lupin didn't directly identify Karkaroff, but everyone knew who Mr. 1 Point was and explained why Mr. 1 Point gave 1 point, for the sake of Durmstrang's Victory's unscrupulousness and contempt for Muggle wizards were pinned on his head, and it was revealed why: Karkaroff had been a Death Eater.

Karkaroff was caught by Mad-Eye ~IndoMTL.com~ and was pardoned by the Ministry of Magic for betraying a large number of his companions.

That's it, just explode on the spot!

The news that Durmstrang's headmaster was actually a Death Eater quickly spread in the British wizarding world, and the sales of "Defense Guide" continued to rise. Many wizards suddenly realized that there were such people around them. Magazine, they'd love to buy a Defense Guide to see what the Triwizard Tournament was all about?

Because the Defense Guide provides a fair and detailed analysis of the entire game and the magic the warriors use.

Of course, this is not over yet. Many people send letters, curses, and even shout letters to Karkaroff. Recently, many students have always said that they can often hear around Durmstrang's ship. The voice of the roaring letter.

Dumbledore followed suit. Parents believed that the presence of a Death Eater at Hogwarts might threaten the lives of students, and they unanimously demanded that Karkaroff be removed from the school.

In fact, after this incident came to light, Karkaroff couldn't stay in the UK any longer. In the UK, which was persecuted by Voldemort, no one would welcome a Death Eater.
