The Admiral of Hogwarts
#361 - Rumors and traces
For quite some time after the second task, countless people came to ask Venetia and Harry about their entire experience during the competition, especially what they encountered below the lake surface, which was the focus of everyone's repeated inquiries.
Unlike the dragon challenge before, everyone could only brave the cold February wind on the stands to admire the beautiful lake scenery of the Scottish Highlands.
Except for a few contestants going into the water and running out of the water either with hostages or alone, they didn't see any of the competition process.
Venetia was a bit better off, as she spent most of her time with Hugo and the others in the library, perfectly avoiding those curious classmates. After all, Mrs. Pince's feather duster didn't care about competitions or anything else.
But Harry couldn't avoid some trouble. For several days in a row, Hugo saw people constantly pulling Harry aside to ask him questions.
What's even more interesting is that Ginny and Ron had a little friction during these few days because Ron felt that Ginny, who was chosen as a hostage, represented his years of friendship with Harry, which couldn't compare to Ginny's half-year acquaintance.
So, when he was resting in the common room one time, he casually complained that Harry valued girls over friends, which Ginny happened to hear and directly retorted.
Faced with his furious sister, Ron could only repeatedly apologize for his rash words.
"I really don't know what I did wrong. I just complained a bit, and she said that to me," Ron said to the twins during dinner.
Fortunately, although the Weasley twins hadn't found girlfriends yet, their understanding of women was far better than their younger brother's. So, they took the opportunity during breakfast to give their brother a lesson.
However, for Ron, this wasn't the worst thing happening right now. In the new issue of 'Witch Weekly,' Rita Skeeter once again displayed her fabrication skills, making up Harry's love life.
"It seems Rita Skeeter is spreading rumors again." On the third morning after the competition, Hugo noticed many people holding a booklet and muttering something. After borrowing it to take a look, he found that it was another fabricated fake news story.
Harry Potter's Love History: He may be an extraordinary boy—but he is also experiencing everything that a young boy in his youth experiences. Such as love problems—
On the first day of entering Hogwarts. Hogwarts encountered the love of his life—Ron Weasley. Ron Weasley had eaten, slept, and stayed inseparable with Harry Potter for three years, establishing a deep relationship.
But this relationship couldn't satisfy Harry's appetite. After the Yule Ball, Harry had another companion, Ginny Weasley, the sister of his former partner, Ron Weasley.
Because of Harry's fickleness, Ron said that his sister had a fierce quarrel. However, as Harry's new love, Miss Weasley obviously has an overwhelming advantage over her brother, Harry's old flame.
Although Harry has many titles, it is not easy to win the favor of both Weasley siblings, especially since Harry doesn't have much to commend him besides his titles.
"Harry has always had a habit of breaking rules," a student who wished to remain anonymous revealed. "So he may have used some kind of rule-breaking method to achieve what he has now."
At Hogwarts, illegal potions such as love potions are naturally prohibited, and Albus Dumbledore undoubtedly needs to investigate this matter carefully.
At the same time, people who have good wishes for Harry Potter hope that next time he looks for a partner, he should use more legal methods.
"How did Harry offend Rita Skeeter?" Hugo asked the Weasley twins during lunch break that day. "Why does Rita describe him as a criminal, even a pervert?"
"I know this," Fred said. "Last time I remember when we went to Hogsmeade, Harry seemed to have had a fight with Rita. I guess Rita is using this to retaliate against Harry now."
"And I think this might be because Rita thinks that everyone is tired of portraying Harry as a tragic hero all the time," George said thoughtfully as he put down the potion bottle in his hand.
"So, portraying Harry as a villain like now is obviously more attractive to readers than those old styles."
"Although under normal circumstances, any journalist with a bit of moral bottom line wouldn't do this, but Rita Skeeter's record in this regard makes it hard to believe that she has a moral bottom line."
"That's right," Fred added. "Last year, she did an issue about the Ministry of Magic, and she actually said that my father's department was slow to react and accused my father of being a salary thief."
"This is indeed something that anyone with a mouth can make up," Hugo sighed. Theoretically, Mr. Weasley's department should have three people, but now there are only two, not to mention that one of them is an old man who is obviously lacking in energy.
In this case, it is normal for Mr. Weasley's office to be inefficient. In fact, it is already remarkable that Mr. Weasley can finish the work when one person is doing the work of three.
This article spread like wildfire in the school. Hugo even heard that Professor Snape specifically took out this article to mock Harry during his Potions class.
However, the only good thing is that because this story is so fake, most of the students in Hogwarts don't think that what Rita Skeeter said is true.
Even the Slytherins, who took every opportunity to provoke Harry with the content in the books, could have it seen on their faces that they did not trust every word Rita Skeeter said.
"Something interesting is happening here." Hugo received a notification from Firefly through the Admiral Network just as the last class ended that day. "Karkaroff came to Snape in class today."
"Obviously, our raid in Albania did not affect that noseless guy's actions. He is now likely to have obtained a body through Peter and is pushing forward his plan for rebirth."
"Then have our old Riddle's old observation equipment found anything unusual?" Hugo asked seriously. "For example, is that guy hiding inside?"
"It can be confirmed that there is nothing. Whether it is the Riddle house or the cemetery there, no unexpected situation has been found," Seimei's voice came from the Admiral Network.
"However, we can confirm through some clues that the noseless guy is indeed trying to resurrect, but because almost all of our main force is now focused on the voyage adventure currently known as the Starry Sky Project, we can't spare manpower to track him."
"For the time being, there is no need to allocate more resources to track him. Compared to the Starry Sky Project, that noseless guy is not a very important issue."
Hugo knew that for the ship girls, they could analyze all kinds of things by collecting and sorting out various information, but this work would require a huge amount of calculation.
So, given that there are more important things now, Hugo doesn't plan to let the ship girls spend too much time tracking Voldemort.
