Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry.

"Next, Mr. Potter."

Ollivander turned his gaze to Harry again, his light-colored eyes flashed with excitement: "Everything seems to have happened yesterday, I remember it clearly... Quick, let me see how it is now. "

Harry handed over the wand hidden in his cuff, and the wand was shiny and shiny in the light, reflecting a different kind of brilliance.

"Extremely well maintained, oh, like new."

Ollivander carefully stroked Harry's wand as if stroking his own wife's body, and even put the wand under his nose and took a deep breath.

In the eyes of outsiders, there is a little abnormality.

"It seems that you often maintain it. Did you oil it yesterday?"

"Ah, um." Harry was a little confused by Ollivander's question, and replied reflexively.

He often does maintenance on the wand, but yesterday it didn't have any oil.

In fact, the oil is right, it's just human oil. In other words, Harry made the wand shine.

Ollivander returned his wand to Harry, who seemed in a very good mood to find a good owner for his work.

"Mr. Dursley at last."

Ollivander paused and looked at the last warrior.

"If I remember correctly, your wand should be iron birch, thestral tail feathers, nine inches."

Of course, his memory is still fresh. The wand he sold to Dudley was the work he was most dissatisfied with, but now that Dudley has actually become a Hogwarts warrior with it, he naturally feels more about that wand. Curious.

Dudley was also unambiguous, and handed the wand to Ollivander.

"Have you transformed it?" Ollivander stared blankly at the wand in his hand that had changed drastically. If he hadn't been sure that it was the one he gave Dudley back then, he would have suspected that this wand was He didn't make it anymore.

"Oh, what a genius idea"

After all, Ollivander is a famous wand master throughout Europe. Even though the crafting techniques used are different, he still sees some tricks.

"It's also interesting to talk about how it was made. A lot of things you know come from an epiphany. And it came from an epiphany of mine."

Ollivander usually would not use iron birch, a very hard wood, as the trunk of the wand, because it is very poor in flexibility and ductility, and he would not use the tail feathers of thestrals as the core of the wand. It is a very unstable material.

So far, the only well-known wand using thestral tail feathers as the core is the Elder Wand, one of the Three Hallows of the Death.

Under normal circumstances, Ollivander would not even take a look at these two completely incompatible materials.

Suddenly one day he had a convulsion, so he made one out of these two kinds of materials.

"I thought it was the worst failure of all my work."

"I didn't expect it to be a half-finished product, waiting, waiting for someone who can take it away."

Ollivander handed back the wand to Dudley: "And you finished it"

"Though I personally don't like wands modified like this."

He was referring to the practice of embedding magic crystals on wands.

"But it's happy, and I'm happy too."

Ollivander's attitude towards wands is actually the same as that of children. It is not the wizard who chooses the wand, but the wand chooses the wizard. This is Ollivander's favorite saying.

"I wish you good luck in the competition."

Chapter 281 279 Daily Prophet: The Hogwarts Warriors cannot be told

Seeing that Ollivander finished his work, Bagman cleared his throat with excitement on his face: "Now that the wand has been inspected, the last task of the day is going to be done, and of course the most important one."

His pitch was raised a few cents.

"group photo!"

"Where's Ms. Rita? Ask her to come up and take our picture."

Bagman said to the staff of the Ministry of Magic next to him: "The referee and the warriors took a group photo. I think this is a good publicity highlight."

"Mr. Bagman, Ms. Rita is gone."

"what?"

Everyone else, including the two principals, was taken aback, only Dumbledore and Lucius were not surprised by this.

"I don't think the Daily Prophet reports truthfully about the Triwizard because Ms. Rita always likes to add some... um... her own fiction to her articles."

Dudley said and glanced at Dumbledore: "I think Professor Dumbledore has a deep feeling for this, such as the article about the International Federation of Wizards Conference."

"That article is really great." Dumbledore maintained his usual smile: "I especially loved reading the part about me being described as an old lunatic with a rigid mind."

"."

Hearing what Dumbledore said, Bagman can't let someone invite Rita Skeeter back, that would offend Dumbledore.

He said he loves to read, can you really think he loves to read?

And there is more than one offender.

As the director, Bagman knows more than others. Mr. Dursley, another Hogwarts warrior, is the youngest member of the Wizengamot. Not many people inside and outside know about it, and there is no hype.

In a sense he and Dudley were colleagues.

"But we need people to take pictures."

Dudley continued, as expected, "I've made an appointment with a quack reporter to make an announcement."

The naysayer is much more popular than the Daily Prophet in terms of audience level alone, and the effect of finding them for publicity must be better than the Daily Prophet.

The Daily Prophet often criticizes naysayers as lunatics, but in fact, why not themselves?

Rita Skeeter's kind of bullshit can be the number one reporter.

Excluding some fools who have no brains and blindly believe in the content of the Daily Prophet, many people know that her articles are very watery, but they feel that the relatives and friends around them think that the Daily Prophet is true, and it is not easy to publish other opinions if they have different opinions.

"If Mr. Bagman is not satisfied with this, the Daily Poison and Antidote is also happy to help you. How about an exclusive interview with the Ministry of Magic for you?"

"Poisons and Cure Daily?"

"Under Witches and Poisons."

Bagman was immediately attracted by Dudley's words. If you want to say what is most sought after by young people in the entire European magic world, it is not the wizard cards and novels published by Witch and Poison Publishing House.

"Are they planning to publish their own newspaper?"

"Yes, in addition to some news, there is also a new novel section, which contains the serial content of the second part of the Dragonlance Chronicle, and of course there are wizard card skills and detailed explanations of card characters. By the way, you like wizard cards Is it?"

"Who isn't! Everyone loves wizard cards."

Bagman has now put the Daily Prophet behind him and is preoccupied with the interview.

"I don't care about it after all, what does Mr. Lucius think?"

As an old fritter, Bagman decisively threw the problem to others.

Lucius spoke slowly with his unique accent, and looked at Dudley with deep meaning: "Supporting emerging industries is what the Ministry of Magic should do, and I am happy to hand over the contents of the Triwizard Tournament to the Daily Poison and Cure take full charge of."

Dudley also responded to his meaningful sentence.

"It couldn't be better, Mr. Lucius, I would like to say hello to you on behalf of Mr. Carlo, and we have a pleasant cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

----

Hogwarts, breakfast time.

"It's too much, it's too much!!!"

There was a roar full of anger, and the little wizards were so frightened that they almost lost their grip on the spoons. Hermione walked over aggressively holding today's Daily Prophet. Frightened by the imposing manner, very consciously get out of the way.

"Snapped!"

Hermione walked up to everyone in the disciplinary team, threw the newspaper on the table angrily, her chest was heaving up and down, she had never hated anyone so much before.

"How can she fabricate these false contents out of thin air?"

"How can she talk nonsense! Doesn't she know that she is responsible for what she writes?"

"I'm furious!!!"

On the largest page of the Daily Prophet, three headlines were displayed in bold and enlarged fonts.

"Rude vulgar boy."

"Shocking, love triangle between Warriors."

"The Untold Secret of Hogwarts Warriors."

The content of the second title is more bloody. It says that Dursley and Potter finally met their first love at Hogwarts. They are inseparable from a girl named Hermione Granger. Yes, the two The brothers fell in love with the amazingly beautiful Miss Granger at the same time. In one sentence, it is a love triangle mixed with a lot of gore.

As for the content of the third title, it is quite outrageous. It is said that the crazy old lunatic Dumbledore was bewitched by the conspirator Dursley to set up many strange organizations in Hogwarts, messing up the whole school. Future Dursley Li also planned a bigger conspiracy.

Well, it's outrageous. There's a problem with the details of the process, but maybe she's right.

Although the newspaper quoted about holding the Triwizard Tournament, there was no mention of what the Triwizard Tournament was, and in fact, it only mentioned two Hogwarts warriors - Dudley and Harry. , with a particular focus on Dudley, while Beauxbatons and Durmstrang are just passing by.

If you're a reader, you don't even know who the warriors of these two schools are.

The content of the newspaper is mixed with many ambiguous words in the subjective sense such as possible, perhaps, etc., and there are few definite words. A collection can be said to be a name at the beginning, and the content depends entirely on editing.

Rita Skeeter has always done this before, and even if she publicly DISS Fudge, the Ministry of Magic has nothing to do with her.

You can't keep others from making normal guesses.

Do you have ghosts in your heart?

No ghost, why are you so anxious to cover everyone's mouths?

That's how Rita Skeeter's fame grew.

Chapter 282 Chapter 280 The Summons of the Wizengamot

Regarding the content of the Daily Prophet, Beauxbatons was happy to see the results, especially Fu Rong, who looked over with a gloating face. She didn't like Dudley, a man who talked nonsense when the list of warriors came out. She likes Harry, even if he is the legendary "Boy Who Lived", she doesn't think it's a big deal.

Durmstrang's students were very angry, but Karkaroff, who was the headmaster, had a look of gloating. Viktor couldn't see any expression on his face. In fact, he was still very fond of Dudley and Harry. Favorable.

"Well written."

Compared to the indignant Hogwarts crowd, Dudley's expression was much calmer. He slowly finished reading the newspaper and flicked it lightly with his fingers.

"The ability to write stories can barely be regarded as a third-rate novelist."

"How can you sit still? Dudley!"

Hermione interrupted Dudley loudly, pouted and looked angry. The woman not only programmed her, but also said a lot of bad things about Dudley, many of which were inexplicable.

"You're going to be angry, don't you just let that woman succeed?"

Gently pinching Hermione's bulging face, the opposite party instantly broke the defense, blushing and slapped Dudley hard.

It's not painful, it's even a little comfortable.

The little wizards around were amazed, and only Mr. Dursley dared to do this to the "angry lioness of Gryffindor", and everyone else would have three legs at a discount.

"Is that how you endure it?"

"When did you see me endure? I warned her, and I warned the Daily Prophet."

If this woman isn't going to die, why is there any reason to clean up the Daily Prophet?

"I, Dudley Dursley, always pay my debts."

Dudley showed a 'bright' smile, revealing two rows of white teeth of the same style as the hydraulic machine. The little wizards around him felt faint, especially the Slytherins who had suffered a lot, all shuddered in unison. .

The sharp-eyed Slytherin students even noticed that Harry, who was sitting by the side, raised his glasses silently.

It's over, Daily Prophet. Dead!

This newspaper, which contains false information about Dudley and Harry, is unsurprisingly sold out, even wizards are not exempt from it. Gossip is a common characteristic of human beings. Everyone is curious about what the "Boy Who Lived" is As for Dudley, the only impression people have of him is the inventor of the wizard card, and only a few wizards know that he is not only the famous Mr. Jerry, but also the winner of the Order of Merlin, first class, and even the Wizengamot. Youngest member.

After reading it, I was shocked. Is the student circle so chaotic?
