The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 275 False reports (seeking subscription, seeking collection, seeking tickets)
Ryan saw the door of the broom closet and found a corner to stand there. After all, he didn't know anyone else in the room well.Fortunately, before waiting for a few minutes, Bagman called everyone to sit down.Dumbledore came down the stairs.

"Where's Harry?" Dumbledore, who came down from upstairs, glanced at the room, and then asked Ryan.

"I was dragged to interview by that female reporter." Ryan pointed to the door between the brooms and replied.

Dumbledore stepped forward and slammed the broom closet door open, then looked down at Rita Skeeter and Harry.

"Dumbledore!" Rita Skeeter immediately reflected, and then said loudly, with a look of joy—"how are you?" she said, standing up, holding out a man to Dumbledore With a big hand like that, "I wonder if you read my summer article on the International Federation of Wizards Conference?"

"It's wonderful," said Dumbledore, his eyes glowing. "I especially loved the part where you described me as a petrified old madman."

"Professor Dumbledore, you are really good at playing." Ryan glanced out of the window at this moment and thought silently.

However, Dumbledore's counterattack was of no use to a particularly thick-skinned person like Rita Skeeter. She said very naturally: "I just want to show that some of your views are a bit outdated, Dumbledore, and many people outside wizard-"

"I would love to hear your frank reasoning, Rita," said Dumbledore, with a slight smile and a courteous bow, "but I'm afraid we'll have to talk about that later. The wand-testing ceremony is about to begin." It's about to start, if we continue to dawdle, the ceremony will not be able to proceed."

Harry seemed to be bored with this reporter, so he quickly took the opportunity to sit on the chair next to Ryan,

After that, there is the wand inspection. Every warrior will go through a precise inspection after handing over the wand, and then Mr. Ollivander will tell the general state and function of it, and declare it to be in good condition, which is completely acceptable Next test.

In this inspection, Mr. Ollivander intentionally or unintentionally highlighted the advantages of his works, and expressed some opinions on the wands made by other craftsmen.Of course, these views, although seemingly neutral, are actually somewhat demeaning to others.After all, how could a competitor speak good words for the other party.

Of course, checking wands is a traditional item of the Triwizard Tournament, just like checking weapons before soldiers go to the battlefield.

When Professor Dumbledore announced that the inspection was over, Harry was the first to jump up and prepare to slip away.But he was stopped by the photographer.

"Take a photo, Dumbledore, take a photo!" Bagman shouted excitedly. "What do you think of the referee and the warriors taking a photo together, Rita?" Ministry of Magic officials.Bagman would very much like to be able to show his face more.

"Hmm - well, let's take a group photo first," Rita Skeeter, who had always wanted to make a big news, naturally would not miss this opportunity, and her eyes fell on Harry again, "Maybe I will take a few more pictures later Single."

Perhaps because there were too many contestants in this competition, Rita Skeeter only chose Harry, Krum, and Fleur as the main players for the single photo shoot after taking a group photo highlighting Harry, while Ryan and The other two contestants were kicked out after taking a hasty solo photo.

After the photo shoot, Rita Skeeter grabbed Harry and started a one-man interview.Seeing him looking at him begging for help, Ryan could only make a helpless expression and then quickly slipped away.When he was going out, he found that the warriors from the other two schools looked at Harry with envious eyes. It seemed that they really didn't know the dangers of society.

On the second day after the interview, Harry got up and just had a blunt exchange with Ron, and then went to the auditorium for breakfast.On the way, he found that many people looked at him with strange eyes.And this feeling reached its peak when he reached the Gryffindor table: everyone looked at him with a mixture of curiosity, disgust and admiration.

"What happened?" Harry finally couldn't bear the atmosphere and asked loudly.The classmates around looked at each other for a while, and then Neville handed him a copy of the "Daily Prophet".

Harry opened the paper to see that Rita Skeeter's article on the Triwizard Tournament had been published.The article was less an account of The Tournament than an embellished portrait of Harry's personal life.A large amount of space on the first page of the paper was taken up by a photograph of Harry, and the entire article (to be continued on the second, sixth and seventh pages) was about Harry, Fleur and Krum whose names were squeezed out. It's the last line of the article, and it's misspelled.Ryan and the other two contestants had no names at all, and were directly taken over by one of the other contestants.

The second, sixth and seventh pages of the newspaper were all about Harry's relationship problems.It's all about the relationship between Harry and Ron.Rita wrote disgusting tirades and asked what other people thought of him.

Harry finally found his first love at Hogwarts.His close friend Colin Creevey said Harry was inseparable from a schoolboy named Ron Weasley.

But this year, a cold war broke out between them due to Ron's concerns about Harry's participation in the sport.According to reliable sources, the two of them have not spoken a word for a long time.

Well, it seems that Harry can still be made up without Hermione.After this report was sent out, the relationship between Harry and Ron got worse, and even now the two of them try not to appear in the same occasion except for classes.

After two full weeks of preparation, Ryan felt that he was almost ready.On the Saturday just before the first project started, the school approved a trip to Hogsmeade for students from the third year onwards.Ryan also took this opportunity to relax.

"It's a good thing Rita Skeeter didn't stare at me that day, otherwise I would be miserable now." Ryan said to Hermione next to him while eating a piece of marshmallow floating in front of him like a cloud. "I heard from Neville that he switched beds with Ron, and now Ron sleeps in the bed furthest from Harry in the dormitory."

"But that reporter is completely making it up." Hermione said a little puzzled, "Why can such a stupid rumor spread in the school for two weeks?"

"No way, it's jealousy. After all, Harry doesn't directly show his strength and break through the age group like me. Many people think that Harry must have adopted some disgraceful means. They may think that they also have the opportunity to become such a high-profile person. Besides, the wizarding world is really boring. This kind of fabricated news can satisfy the empty hearts of some wizards." Ryan explained the reasons for the current situation to Hermione.

After shopping around a few shops, the two of them who felt a bit cold went to Three Broomsticks and drank a glass of warmed butter beer. After they felt their bodies warmed up, they had a fight with Ginny, who was sitting alone and looked a little strange. Hello.Then went back to school.

When they came to the grass in front of the castle, they suddenly heard a wolf howling from the Forbidden Forest.

"Wolf has something to do with me, I'll go and have a look first, you go to the library first." After hearing the wolf howl, Ryan greeted Hermione next to him, and then quickly ran towards the Forbidden Forest.
