Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts
Chapter 225: Talking and laughing with western reporters
The supper ended in a burst of laughter.
When the clouds of Voldemort hovered over the British magical society, it was difficult for the people of the Order of the Phoenix to enjoy such a happy laugh.
After eating dessert, Zhang Xu and Scarlett left in a hurry.
Except for Harry, who just arrived today, everyone else has become accustomed to Zhang Xu's fast-paced life.
Less than five minutes after Zhang Xu left, a quarrel broke out in the restaurant at No. 12 Grimmauld Place. Several people had conflicts about whether Harry should have the right to know.
But all this has nothing to do with Zhang Xu.
The lights on the Thames River are brilliant, from Tower Bridge to Big Ben, ancient buildings and modern lights echo each other, making people feel like being in two time and space at the same time.
"The Thames river flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes."
Sitting on an open-air seat in a cafe by the river, Zhang Xu whispered in a low voice the lyrics that he had changed into nondescript.
Scarlett, who was sitting on another table next to him, didn't want to talk to Zhang Xu, and rolled his eyes at him.
Zhang Xu made an appointment to meet in this cafe tonight. Before the guests arrived, he was enjoying a rare leisure time in the cool river breeze.
Not long after, a middle-aged woman wearing delicate clothes, holding a crocodile leather handbag and combing her curly hair sat on the chair opposite Zhang Xu.
If Hermione saw this scene at this time, she might immediately pull out her wand and challenge Zhang Xu.
The person Zhang Xu met tonight is Hermione's lifelong enemy-Rita Skeeter.
Ever since you, Rita Skeeter, published a special article about Hagrid in the Daily Prophet, the Harry trio has been on the bar with her.
Then Hermione wrote an article in "Youth Magazine" and fought back for a long time.
Today Zhang Xu chose to meet Rita Skeeter at the Muggle site, so it was natural to make trouble.
After the two exchanged greetings, they quickly moved on to the topic.
"Sorry, Mr. Zhang." Rita Skeeter said, "Minister of Magic Fudge asked me to write an article to attack you. I can't refuse their request."
At the school leaving banquet last time, Dumbledore, while announcing the return of Voldemort to the students, incidentally pulled Zhang Xu out and fired.
Later, Fudge began to fight back in public opinion, and when he discredited Dumbledore and Harry Potter, he also drew on Zhang Xu.
"It's okay, Ms. Skeeter." Zhang Xu said, "I understand your difficulty. Your report is full of hints that Dumbledore is forcing me to help him lie. I believe readers will see it."
Rita Skeeter was also relieved to see Zhang Xu didn't pursue it.
Zhang Xu caught her being illegal Animagus. Not to mention, as a reporter, she was familiar with all aspects of the news, so she could see that if Zhang Xu wanted to clean up her, someone would naturally be able to help.
Before that, she was worried that Zhang Xu invited her to the Muggle site because he was dissatisfied with his report and wanted to sink her into the Thames.
"Is the mysterious man really back?" Rita Skeeter asked cautiously.
"Yes." Zhang Xu replied, "Professor Dumbledore's words are true. I was there at the time. The person in that video was not Professor Dumbledore who asked someone to pretend."
After hearing Zhang Xu's answer, Rita Skeeter's face was full of panic.
"What is terrible to you when the mysterious man is back?" Zhang Xu smiled and said, "You are a pure-blood wizard, and you have been against Professor Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic. The mysterious man has no reason to hurt you."
"But I targeted the Ministry and Dumbledore, just for the money." Rita Skeeter said.
"Do you think the mysterious person cares about this?" Zhang Xu said, "He only cares about the result, not about your motives of a small person."
"But...I don't dare to write articles attacking mysterious people and Death Eaters." Rita Skeeter said, "This will cost my life."
"It seems that when we face the mysterious person, our position is the same." Zhang Xu said, "If the mysterious person is in power, you won't have a good life."
After struggling in her mind for a while, Rita Ski nodded and agreed with Zhang Xu.
"Actually, you can also play a very important role in the fight against mysterious people." Zhang Xu continued.
"Can I play a role too?" Rita Skeeter asked curiously. "I am not a powerful wizard like Dumbledore."
"A person's article can sometimes become a dagger and a gun thrown at the enemy's heart." Zhang Xu said, "Everyone has his best field. In your field, you are as powerful as Professor Dumbledore. "
Rita Skeeter looked at Zhang Xu dumbfounded. This was the first time she heard such a statement.
After Rita Skeeter recovered, she was thinking about something while staring at the half-drinked coffee on the table.
A reporter like Rita Skeeter knows best who can provoke and who should never be touched.
For targets like the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore, Rita Skeeter was sure that they would not use unconventional means to deal with herself, so she dared to write articles against them unscrupulously.
As for people like Lucius Malfoy, if she dared to write an article to attack them, then a whole body would be regarded as merciful.
If the mysterious person is in power in the end, she will be a ghost, and she will switch to writing romance novels.
"What should I do?" Rita Skeeter raised her head and asked Zhang Xu.
"Just do what you like best." Zhang Xu replied.
"Didn't Fudge tell you to discredit Professor Dumbledore and Harry, and you continue to discredit them."
"You can describe Dumbledore as an old liar full of lies. In fact, the'Savior' Harry Potter is a complete scam. How could a mysterious person be defeated by a baby? There must be a hidden secret behind this, whatever you want. Edit. The current Harry Potter is actually a boy of the same age named Daniel Radcliffe that Dumbledore found and pretended to be."
"In the article, you try to mention Fudge as much as possible, implying that our Minister of Magic has long seen through Dumbledore's conspiracy."
"If readers have been watching news that discredited Dumbledore and Harry, they will definitely get bored over time. You can use a pseudonym—for example, Miranda Richardson—to write articles in support of Dumbledore. Refute the content of the article written by your real name."
"Then you can use two names to write articles to attack each other."
"If there is a war in the newspaper, everyone will care more about your report in the newspaper."
"Of course, you must take security measures."
"It's really a pity that you don't become a reporter, Mr. Zhang." Rita Skeeter said to Zhang Xu sincerely.
Although she didn't know why Zhang Xu suggested that she continue to discredit Dumbledore and Harry Potter, the method of "spreading rumors first with the left hand and then refuting the rumors with the right hand" he said later gave her a lot of inspiration.
"Why continue to target Dumbledore and Harry Potter?" Rita Skeeter asked.
"Do you want to make a Minister of Magic resign based on your report?" Zhang Xu asked.
"Can it be done?" Rita Skeeter's eyes lit up, and she was very interested in such things.
"Fudge obviously wants to cover up the news of the mysterious man's return." Zhang Xu said, "then you will help him with all your strength so that the public can see his efforts~www.readwn.com~ When the mysterious man makes his public appearance, you only It takes an article to get the minister who deceived the public to step down."
Rita Skeeter heard Zhang Xu's meaning all at once, and said, "This is a very good method. I need to make a good plan."
"Can you do me a small favor?" Zhang Xu said.
"What do I need to do?" Rita Skeeter asked.
Zhang Xu took out a piece of parchment, wrote a string of family names on it, and gave it to Rita Skeeter.
"If you want to use Miranda Richardson's name to write an article supporting Professor Dumbledore, please imply in the article that these families are all secretly supporting Dumbledore." Zhang Xu said.
Rita Skeeter read the family name on the note, and she understood what Zhang Xu meant.
This is all offending Zhang Xu's family. They were the families that attempted to let the werewolves assassinate him after a surprise attack on Hogsmeade and after the Triwizard Tournament attempted to assassinate him with the fire dragon.
Although Dumbledore and the others let these families take off a layer of skin, Zhang Xu still wanted to give them a bit of cruelty by himself.
As long as Rita Skeeter described them as **** supporters of Dumbledore in the article, Fudge and Voldemort will naturally help Zhang Xu to clean them up.
Rita Skeeter accepted the parchment and agreed to help Zhang Xu.
As long as Rita Skeeter goes back and uses her magic wand to remove the family names written on that piece of paper, she can go to Gringotts to collect a bag of gold coins based on the contents of the other side of the parchment.
Moreover, the fairies of Gringotts will destroy this parchment after completing the payment procedures, so that no one will know the transaction between the two of them.
Everyone is smart and knows what to do in the future.
