Mixed With Marvel's Hogwarts Professor

Chapter 273 Instigating Voldemort's Horcrux (Two in One)

Office of the Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Prophet newspaper.

Editor-in-Chief Cotton sat at his desk, quietly listening to his subordinate Berlin constantly complaining, or expressing his loyalty.

"Editor-in-Chief, you have worked hard for twenty or thirty years to achieve this position."

"As a result, Rita Skeeter, a reporter who only knows about distorted reports, became the deputy editor because she relied on a pure-blood family."

"Is this fair? Such a person can become an associate editor. We editors and reporters are absolutely not convinced."

"Editor-in-chief, tell me, what should we do?"

"As long as you tell me, no one in the entire newspaper office will pay attention to this woman who came by prostitution."

"."

Ke Dun squinted his eyes and listened quietly to Bolin's angry complaints. With his rich experience, how could he fail to hear the envy hidden in Bolin's complaining tone.

Rita Skeeter, this stupid, superficial reporter who only knows how to show off her writing skills, unexpectedly had the opportunity to rely on a pure-blood family, and even got the position second only to herself as an associate editor.

This was beyond his expectation.

Generally speaking, there are 100 ways for Cotton to make her stay in the Daily Prophet difficult for this kind of airborne person.

However, there were quite a few pure-blood families who pushed her up this time, which even made him feel very difficult.

If he shot directly, I'm afraid it would cause even more trouble.

Therefore, he should put more focus on this woman

I hope this woman won't show off his stupid scheming in the newspaper office, otherwise don't blame him for being cruel.

As his thoughts turned, Coton reached out his hand to interrupt Bolin's complaints, and said, "Bolin, I know everyone's mentality."

"Don't worry, everything is under control. Go back first and let everyone continue to work. I will call you when needed."

"Something will call you."

I was interrupted in Berlin just now, and when I heard what the editor-in-chief said, I opened my mouth, and with some hesitation, I nodded and said, "Okay, editor-in-chief, I'll go back first."

Then, he turned and left.

And Ke Dun watched Bolin's leaving figure, tapped his table with his fingertips lightly, lost in thought.

Why does Rita Skeeter have the support of so many pure-blood families?

There must be a reason.

Only by finding the root cause can we drive this shallow woman out of my territory without hidden dangers.

The next day, the meeting room of the Daily Prophet.

The editor-in-chief Ke Dun sat on the main seat, looking at the editors sitting on both sides of the long table with solemn faces and not whispering to each other, there was a hint of approval in their eyes, and then he looked at the first empty chair in his left hand .

A trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, disdain, and he continued to wait silently.

After a while.

Click! Click! Click!

With the sound of the door opening, a woman wearing glasses inlaid with gemstones and wearing an emerald green dress came in.

It was Rita Skeeter.

Rita looked around, seeing everyone staring at her, and only her deputy editor's seat left.

There was an unknown fire and anger in his heart, but he didn't know that this was a blow to himself.

However, when he thought of his master's order.

Rita walked to her seat expressionlessly and sat down.

When Ke Dun saw Rita's expression, he was a little surprised, because the other party's performance was somewhat beyond his expectation.

However, without thinking about it, he clapped his hands and said, "Welcome our new colleague, Ms. Rita Skeeter."

Immediately, all the editors applauded.

And Rita Skeeter, who just sat down, immediately stood up again, just about to say thank you to everyone.

result

"Lita, deputy editor-in-chief, please sit down, I will announce your appointment first."

Interrupted by Editor-in-Chief Cotton, Rita felt a little aggrieved, and was ready to scold directly.

But when he thought of the task assigned by the master and the instructions of Ms. Carter in the magic brand, he could only sit down expressionlessly.

When Ke Dun saw this, he looked even more surprised. Could Rita be so calm?

How is it different from what he knew before?

He was also planning to let Rita lose face when she entered the newspaper office for the first time.

Now it seems that it's not that I underestimated this Rita Skeeter.

After thinking about it, Coton stood up, took out a piece of parchment, and read: "After the decision of the board of directors of the Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter has been appointed as the deputy editor of the Daily Prophet."

After briefly reading the appointment, Cotton applauded again and said, "Welcome Deputy Editor-in-Chief Rita to join the Daily Prophet."

The editors below also applauded in due course.

But when Cotton stopped clapping, all the editors stopped clapping too.

Rita once again felt the power from Coton, and she wished to beat the editor-in-chief Coton severely.

But still with a smile on his face, he politely said to all the editors: "Thank you everyone, I still need everyone's support in the future."

This time, editor-in-chief Cotton did not interrupt Rita Skeeter, but let her finish her thank you smoothly.

The simple test just now found that Rita's character is somewhat different from what I imagined, and it hardly has any practical effect.

Therefore, such small means were abandoned.

After all, this kind of heresy is okay with occasional temptations, but you have to use some upright methods later.

Soon enough, when Rita Skeeter said it was almost done.

Editor-in-Chief Cotton applauded lightly, and Rita Skeeter sat back in her seat.

"The speech of deputy editor-in-chief Rita is very reasonable. Everyone should work together to make the Daily Prophet stronger." Editor-in-Chief Cotton said.

Immediately, he said to Rita in a tone that seemed to be discussing, but in fact there was no doubt: "Deputy Editor-in-Chief Rita, you just came here, first come and manage the photography department. If you feel that your energy allows, you can also take care of the logistics."

"what do you think?"

Rita's face darkened when she heard what Coton said.

She had worked as a reporter for the Daily Prophet before, so how could she not know the tricks of each of the agencies.

The photography department basically doesn't have much status, and the logistics department is more like a miscellaneous department. You can find logistics for any chores. Not only are things complicated, but they don't make much sense.

For these two non-core departments, she instinctively wanted to refuse. As the deputy editor-in-chief, she did not want to be able to manage the entire Daily Prophet.

At least one core department must be in charge.

Otherwise, wouldn't she be the deputy editor-in-chief, with no right to speak at all?

However, Peggy Carter, who observed this situation through the contract, seemed to sense Rita's thoughts, and said hastily.

"Rita, promise to come down, these two parts will be very helpful for our future plans."

Sensing the message from the golden dragon's magic imprint, Rita was slightly silent, and nodded slightly to Editor-in-Chief Coton.

However, he still said, "Editor Cotton, I can take care of these two departments."

"However, it was mentioned at the board meeting before."

"The Daily Prophet will establish a new department under my charge, which will be responsible for interviewing famous people in the world of necromancer."

"For example, Dumbledore, the headmaster of our Hogwarts, and Lockhart, the founder of the meditation method, etc."

"Editor Cotton, I want to recruit some editors and reporters to join our department, do you think there is no problem?"

Hearing Rita's request, Editor-in-Chief Cotton had a headache.

This department was created at the request of the pure-blood family behind the Daily Prophet, and Rita was in charge of the direct roll call.

He is not stupid, and combined with what happened some time ago, he knows with his feet that this is definitely aimed at meditation.

It seems that the pure-blood family is still not giving up.

He is very repulsed by such behavior, which is simply a joke about the future of the Daily Prophet.

For a newspaper, fairness and objectivity are the core elements.

Even if Rita Skeeter distorted the report in the newspaper before, it only represents her personal opinion and has nothing to do with the Daily Prophet.

And in order to reduce potential risks, Cotton did not deliberately suppress reporters' positive reports on Lockhart and the meditation method.

So during that time, there were some boasting and some scolding, and there was quite a lot of commotion.

But there was almost no loss to the Daily Prophet, and even the reputation and benefits increased a lot.

But if Rita Skeeter is in charge of this column, he can imagine, with the other party's ability to distort reports.

This column will definitely affect the future and reputation of the Daily Prophet.

But there is no way, the board of directors behind it passed this decision, and he has no way to obstruct it, he can only reduce its impact from the side.

So this meeting, he didn't even mention it, and he planned to suppress it later.

But now, Rita Skeeter said it directly, and it was impossible for him to refuse directly.

After a moment of silence, Editor-in-Chief Cotton said coldly, "Okay, Ms. Rita Skeeter."

"Later, you can recruit some voluntary editors to enter the department you are in charge of."

After Rita heard it, a faint smile floated on her face, and the words the master said could not help appearing in her mind.

"Rita, the pure-blood family affects every aspect of the necromancer world, among which public opinion is a crucial link."

"And the Daily Prophet can be said to be the mouthpiece of the pure-blood family. You used the power of the pure-blood family to control it in the past."

"At critical moments, huge amounts of effects will be played."

Hogwarts, black magic defense office.

Lockhart sat in front of the desk, recalling the message from the golden dragon magic brand just now, the corners of his mouth curled up.

He had seen the power of public opinion in his previous life.

Black can be called white!

If you really don't start early, it will be too late.

Thinking about it, Lockhart fixed his eyes on the Black notebook on the desk.

Slightly closing his eyes, the Sling Ring on his right hand began to shine slightly, concentrating his energy, and his soul jumped up.

Magic - Soul Body Projection!

In an instant, Lockhart's soul jumped out of his body. After looking around the office for a week, he looked at the Black Notebook in front of him—Voldemort's Horcrux, and threw himself in.

The scene changed, and in an instant, Lockhart entered a spacious space.

And Tom stood in the center of the space, and a large piece of text, runes, and numbers appeared in front of him. As Tom slightly outlined with his fingers, new texts and runes were continuously added to enrich the content.

"Professor Lockhart, you are here." Tom, who had sensed a change in the space, turned around quickly and said to Lockhart who was coming.

"Yeah." Lockhart nodded indifferently, then looked at the words floating in the air.

After seeing it, Tom on the side quickly introduced: "Professor, this is the analysis of the Shattering Curse."

"Most of it has been analyzed so far, and I believe that it will be able to be cast in the way of Luen Fuen in the near future."

Lockhart nodded slightly, but did not reply, but kept his eyes on the text in front of him, quickly scanned it, and deduced it.

After a while, he opened his mouth and knocked: "Yes, Tom, keep working hard, I will not let anyone who pays down."

"Even if the other party is just a broken soul."

After Tom heard it, his heart skipped a beat, broken soul, he won't find any traces outside, right?

Before he could think deeply, Lockhart's voice came from next to his ear.

"By the way, Tom, how is your soul meditation practice?"

Tom thought for a while, and said in a joyful tone: "Professor, the effect of not thinking is very good."

"I can feel my soul slowly improving and becoming more stable."

"For the entire soul illusion space, the level of control has been enhanced, and deeper changes can be carried out."

Hearing Tom's reply, Lockhart nodded slightly and said, "If that's the case, then take a good rest."

The next moment, Lockhart seemed to think of something, and asked Tom meaningfully: "Tom, ask a question."

"I'm currently researching, how to perfectly resurrect myself?"

"You said, if after being resurrected, there are a bunch of other memories in your mind, are you sure you are the one who was resurrected?"

"Determine the will at that time is your own will now."

Hearing Professor Lockhart's question, Tom's heart skipped a beat. He was almost sure that the other party knew the identity of his real Horcrux.

Then, I heard Lockhart continue to say: "I think there is a good saying, I think, therefore I am."

"It doesn't matter if you have more memories, but you must make sure that your will and your way of thinking have not changed."

"If after the resurrection, the mind is distorted and the thinking changes, then the so-called resurrection is your resurrection or his resurrection."

"How do you agree with my thoughts?"

Lockhart's words seemed to awaken a deep thought in Tom's heart. After a long silence, he said in a hoarse voice, "Professor, I need to think about this question."

Seeing Tom's reaction, the corners of Lockhart's mouth curled up, as if hinting, he said, "Yes, this question is very interesting, and we should really think about it more."

"Otherwise, everything you do becomes someone else's wedding dress, which is not good."

"When you think of the answer, remember to tell me."

In response, Tom nodded silently, with a gloomy expression.

Seeing this, Lockhart had a faint smile on his face, then turned and left.

Tom watched Lockhart's leaving figure with thoughtful eyes.

At the same time, a voice came from afar.

"By the way, Tom, I remember you staying in this notebook 50 years ago."

"In the past 50 years, you may not be aware of the changes that have taken place in the necromancer world."

"I brought a book with me, which contains the big and small things over the years, so I can read it when I have nothing to do."

PS: Dear readers, recently, the order has been maintained at the level of 20 to 30 per day, and the drop is almost two to three hundred.

The mentality has already collapsed, and the data is a little afraid to look at.

I ask the big boss to support the genuine subscription. After the big guy who is still raising books sees it, it would be great if he could support it.

The humble author is asking for support online.

(For now, try the two-in-one chapter first, and see if you can reverse the trend of crazy decline in average subscription.)

I just discovered that this chapter was swallowed by the system, and it hasn't come out for several hours, and there is no reminder of the prohibition.

This luck suddenly feels that I urgently need a wave of milk from the readers.
