Harry Potter and the Burnt Badger

Bernard didn't say the answer directly, but it was obvious that he and Moon thought exactly the same - and it is estimated that no one would have any other different ideas.

What Lockhart faces will inevitably be to stay in Azkaban until he dies of old age.

However, another thing Bernard said caught Moon's special attention.

If Aragog wants to be sent to a safer place...is that okay...

He kept this in mind and briefly chatted with Bernard for a few more words until he reached the edge of the Forbidden Forest before returning to Harry and the others.

…………

When they walked out of the Forbidden Forest, the moonlight was just right outside. Moon and others immediately saw Lockhart, who was still sitting in the wheelchair and covering his face with both hands. He must have looked like he was surrounded by those who were already watching him. The reporters who came over did it. After all, Lockhart came out earlier, and there were only two Ministry of Magic officials accompanying him. It was simply impossible for these reporters who had been "hungry" all night to take pictures of him. .

This was probably the first time in his life that Lockhart hated the camera lens so much.

Before the reporters gathered around him, he glanced at Lockhart again, and was suddenly surprised to find that the moonlight in the sky reflected the interlaced shadows of the trees on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. The shadows reflected by those branches were strangely reflected in Lockhart. Hart's feet formed a cross, and Lockhart happened to be facing Moon at this moment - the cross was long and short horizontally, and with Lockhart's hands protecting his face, he was actually facing Moon again at this moment. Once formed the image of "The Hanged Man" in Tarot cards.

However, last time in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Lockhart was still the Hanged Man in the upright position, but this time, he and the shadow on the ground formed the reverse Hanged Man.

what is this?Is it some kind of revelation about the decline of prosperity?

Mu En laughed dumbfounded.

However, this reversed Hanged Man also appears very reasonably: a willful evader, an egoist, justice and facts reversed, receiving the punishment he deserves...

A perfect match for Gilderoy Lockhart.

Of course, even if it were changed to the upright position, it would still be justifiable.Sacrifice, if Lockhart hadn't had the courage to "sacrifice" himself, where would Moon have had the opportunity to let Voldemort make a grand appearance in front of everyone?

If it weren't for the reporters raising their cameras and asking questions one after another, Moon would actually want to see Lockhart again. After all, Lockhart was about to be taken away. He wanted to see Lockhart next time. With such a handsome face that deserves a beating, I'm afraid it will only get a chance if it is in the newspaper.

Unfortunately, the reporters obviously did not intend for him to continue to "appreciate" Lockhart's heroic appearance covering his face.

Moon sighed, shook his head, did not answer any of the reporters' questions, and said loudly: "I can cooperate with you in interviews, but - my exclusive interview report must be published with "Huo Huo" next Monday. The Gwarts School Newspaper will be published at the same time. Of course, you don’t have to feel that you are at a disadvantage. You wouldn’t have been able to get the detailed information about all the trials tonight in the past two days.”

"If you don't believe it, you can ask the colleagues from the Daily Prophet next to you, or ask Ms. Bones. There seem to be two reporters from the Daily Prophet surrounding her. .”

Just kidding, even if these reporters really don't believe it, no one would be stupid enough to question their interviewees at this time.What's more, just the glimpse of the faces of the reporters from major newspapers was enough to prove that what Moon said was true.

Therefore, most reporters readily agreed to Moon's request - of course, there were also two small newspapers that were not well-known and simply chose to withdraw directly.

Almost all the reporters who stayed behind were mocking the reporters of the two tabloids for not having any brains and probably not having proper news channels. The two of them seemed completely unaware of why there were so many more people around than around Albus Dun. There were more people around Blido and the Minister of Magic.

In fact, despite the restraint of Ms. Bones, no one leaked out the heroic appearance of Moon roasting Voldemort's soul that night.However, communication between reporters often does not need to be so straightforward, or even...

All they have to say is "We have big news."

Soon, Moon fully lived up to expectations and started his performance amidst the reporters' questions.

Moon Fox Interview Guidelines [February 2th Edition]:

1. He kept silent about the specific process and results of the trial, and had no comment if asked;

2, no 2.

Or to put it more bluntly - just ask him anything, as long as he doesn't ask about what happened in the Forbidden Forest tonight, he will tell you everything he knows.

Want to know if Voldemort's soul really appears?no problem;

Want to know if he is really angry?no problem;

Want to know why he came across Voldemort's soul?I will just pull out the diary for you, and tell them that it contains Voldemort's curse, and that it was most likely the scumbag Lucius Malfoy who left it at the Bones house;

Want to know why he was able to kill a basilisk by himself?Talk about it, the main thing is sincerity, even the teeth of the basilisk are explained clearly to you;

Want to know what he, as an opponent, thinks of the Crow Party?Good guy, he has been waiting for this question for a long time - it is immediately a crazy whipping of the Crow Party, focusing on how ruthless one must be, making Lucius Malfoy an appetizer.

I want to know if he is in a relationship or has a girlfriend?Didn’t ask t…

Moon raised his head and looked at the reporter with a serious face, once again returning the answer to the original starting point.

"Sorry, no comment."

Chapter 93 Advantages and Disadvantages

As mentioned at the beginning - on this special day, the number of reporters surrounding Moon for interviews was the largest in the audience.

Not to mention Ms. Bones, even Professor Dumbledore was suppressed.

Of course, for Professor Dumbledore, this couldn't be better.Moreover, seeing how Moon was answering fluently and almost mastering the rhythm of the entire interview, Professor Dumbledore even began to unscrupulously ponder whether Moon could be trained to be the spokesperson of Hogwarts in the future.

Well, the official kind.

This way, if anything happens in the future, Munn can take care of everything, which is perfect.

Of course, he just wanted to have fun. At best, it could only be regarded as a little reverie of an old man - after all, Moon was only in the fourth grade.

We have to wait until he graduates to do this.

In fact, at the same time, Moon was also filled with emotions.

He was really glad that the current Minister of Magic was Ms. Bones. If the Minister was still Fudge, and he was being upstaged by him like this, according to Fudge's temperament, he would probably start to be suspicious when he looked back and think that this was some new conspiracy to seize power.

Is this an outrageous idea?

It is indeed outrageous, but who knows that Cornelius Fudge is an outrageous person.

Professor Dumbledore, who was the first to deal with the reporters, was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he watched with interest as Moon frantically outputted "important information."

At this moment, Hermione sneakily ran to the old man's side.

"Professor...I'm sorry, I failed to live up to your expectations in the end..." When she said this, Hermione's face turned slightly red, and she was obviously really embarrassed.

Professor Dumbledore turned his head to look at her, and then said with a smile: "There is no need to apologize, Miss Granger. Don't forget, this is only the first time, and you have already done a good job."

"But I just arranged for everyone to be imprisoned by Lockhart on purpose. What happened next was completely out of my...expectations." Hermione bit her lip and lowered her head slightly. "He directly arranged the Forbidden Forest." Things happened, and then everything developed inexplicably..."

"That's how it will be, Miss Granger. You summed it up very well." The old man smiled and spread his hands. "Plans can never keep up with changes. After all, we can't control our opponents. The best we can do is guess at them." What you will do. That’s why we often say that people must learn to be flexible to better achieve their goals. Moreover, you still ignore that you have achieved your first step perfectly. "

"It's just that Lockhart made a ridiculously wrong decision before he could."

Hermione blinked and sighed, "You're right. At least I've done the first step. Maybe I won't fail next time."

"It will definitely happen." The old man nodded towards Hermione, "Because you have already thought about your mistake, haven't you?"

This time, Hermione nodded again, but compared to the time just now, it was obvious that she was much more serious now.

Hermione's arrival also reminded Professor Dumbledore of something - Moon was still being interviewed, but Harry, Hermione and Garr were not, so there was no need to let them stand here stupidly.After realizing this, the old man immediately asked Hagrid to send the three people back to the castle.

At first, Gal didn't really want to leave, and was thinking about going back to the common room with Moon later.But when he thought of Hagrid's previous expression of bursting into tears, he quickly rejected his idea and followed Hagrid to the direction of the castle.

As soon as the little wizards left, Ms. Bones ended her interview.

"You have discovered a good talent." As soon as they got together, Professor Dumbledore gestured towards Bernard Paxton, who was still standing seriously. "Bernard, I I remember that when he was in school, his grades in Transfiguration and Herbalism were very good, and he was also well-behaved and well-disciplined. During the two years when he was a prefect, he handled things very well. Unfortunately, since he graduated and joined the Magic Since joining the Ministry, he has not been reused."

"Some pearls have to be covered with dust," Ms. Bones said softly. "But at least he was discovered."

The two looked at each other and smiled, then no one continued talking, but waited quietly.

After about three to five minutes, the reporters gathered around Moon finally dispersed willingly - bringing with them all the breaking news they had obtained from Moon. To exaggerate, it was almost as fast as Enough for each of their newspapers to write an article with different news.

What's even more impressive is that Moon treats everyone equally, and the information he gives includes not only big news about "fidelity and quality assurance", but also some "hearsay" tidbits.

It's perfect. Some formal newspapers write it, and some small newspapers that like to have fun are also written.

But what they didn't know was that all of Moon's "hearsay" information was actually true, but the source was inconvenient to explain.For example, "Lucius Malfoy wants to kill the Bones family", or "Voldemort is probably an illegitimate child"...

The reason for doing this is also very simple. It is nothing more than wanting to shock Voldemort, Lucius Malfoy and others with a little gossip.

What the Crow Party has enjoyed, they cannot be left behind.

…………

"So you really think so?" After everything had settled, Professor Dumbledore, who was walking towards the castle, looked at Moon with a dumbfounded look. "What's the reason for this?"

"Of course not..." Moon rubbed his hair, then took out two pieces of chocolate from his pocket, and gave one piece to the old man next to him. "In fact, you have already guessed most of the reasons before. Keep going. Momentum, as long as I get to the top, the Crow Party will continue to enjoy everyone's attention and eyes with me; reveal the existence of Voldemort in advance, as long as you don't shake out the Horcrux in a big way, revealing Voldemort's appearance will only benefit us .”

"For example, according to what you said, Voldemort's personality has changed drastically now, and he has become a man only tyrannical and indifferent. Then when he found out that he was published in the newspaper and saw that the diary was destroyed, was he still killed by an ordinary person? The little wizard destroyed it, and even found out Lucius Malfoy..."

"What would you do if you were Voldemort?"

Moon bit off a large piece of chocolate with a "click" sound, and while chewing, he said vaguely: "The anger is certain, and maybe he will impulsively find a way to find Lucius Malfoy and punish him. . If he does this, it will be easier for us to find him, and we can catch old Malfoy by the way; if he does not do this, it is good to be angry with him, and if he is really angry to death, we can also Less trouble."

"And here, my identity can make Voldemort look down upon and make Voldemort even more angry. If it were you... maybe Voldemort wouldn't be angry at all. It's not a big deal to lose to you anyway."

Professor Dumbledore nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Is there anything else?"

Moon tilted his head and looked at the old man for two seconds, then swallowed the chocolate in his mouth, smiled and said, "Looking at your expression, you will definitely not be able to guess my last purpose."

The old man was so stunned that he didn't even bother to bite the half-opened chocolate in his hand. He immediately asked curiously: "Oh? What is it?"

Moon pointed to his head, and then gave the answer directly without any further explanation: "According to the Slughorn you described earlier, he still keeps the secret until now. The main reason is probably Just three.”

"First, until now, not many people know that Voldemort is Tom Riddle, especially most ordinary wizards, who have no idea about it at all. So he wants to keep his secret as much as possible, because he wants to avoid getting involved with Voldemort. On the relationship.”

"Secondly, he felt very guilty for revealing the Horcrux."

"Third, Voldemort has fallen, and may even be dead. His secrets are no longer relevant to him."

As soon as Professor Dumbledore heard the name 'Slughorn', he immediately understood what Moon meant.Therefore, after Munn finished explaining, he looked directly at Munn with admiration——

If he hadn't been chewing the piece of chocolate in his mouth, maybe this scene would have made Moon feel a little more praised by the old man.Although he did not bite the whole piece like Munn, but chose to eat it in pieces, but to be honest, the difference is that the movements are a little more elegant - nothing more.

"Hmm... very good chocolate. Ah, indeed, the appearance of the diary can perfectly solve these three problems - even including the Horcrux. If Moon reveals to those reporters, Tom in the diary · Riddle claims to be Tom Riddle 50 years ago. With Slughorn's mind, it is definitely not difficult to guess that Voldemort made Horcruxes very early, and it probably has little to do with the information he revealed. .”

"Hey, Slughorn..." Professor Dumbledore said, shaking his head again. "Actually, I never thought that he was the culprit of Voldemort's creation of Horcruxes, but this old guy is really too overprotective. By ourselves. If he pries open his mouth this time, maybe we can get more help and further discover more of Voldemort's Horcruxes."

"That's right, so you see, let me directly deal with the diary. Being the person who shows up has almost all benefits, and many of them cannot be achieved without your presence." Moon laughed. right."

"What you said is very good - but there is one biggest problem." The old man raised his hand and rarely patted Moon on the shoulder. "I am really worried about your safety, not to mention that you have The hostility of the Crow Party is here..."

Chapter 94 The Lost Champion

"A lot of debt doesn't weigh you down." Moon held the chocolate in his mouth and said with a smile: "There is already a Crow Party, and there is also a Voldemort."

"As long as the positives outweigh the negatives, this kind of thing really doesn't matter. What's more, the most important thing is... even if I don't provoke Voldemort, I will stay away from such things and stand behind the scenes."

"Is it possible that Voldemort no longer poses any threat to me?"

Professor Dumbledore didn't say much, although Moon's words were quite suspicious of a stolen concept - there was no doubt between becoming a victim of Voldemort's rise and being targeted by Voldemort. It's a world of difference.

But he understood what Moon wanted to say, and he also knew that Moon was right.

Whether it is Munn's talent, identity, or personality factors, these things are intertwined, and it is actually destined that Munn is by no means, let alone a person who only knows how to sit. There, the poor little man quietly waited for the enemy to come.

If possible, this young man must take the initiative and kill everything that can be killed in the cradle.

Therefore, it is not wrong at all to say that Voldemort is something that Moon will face sooner or later.

The old man finally felt relieved. He dusted off the chocolate chips that fell on the edge of his beard and chose to give up the persuasion completely.

…………

The leisurely days always passed quickly. There was no Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, Lockhart was no longer in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and even Tom Riddle's diary was no longer in the buckle bag.To be honest, Moon was a little uncomfortable with suddenly entering such a life.

After all, this kind of life is really...

Thai pants are hot!

I just go to class hard, and after class I stay in the dormitory doing homework, reading my own books, messing around with my classmates, playing with cats, etc.

It just so happened that a certain old man who always liked to poke secrets and hide his secrets finally handed over the book he left behind. Moon simply wished that this was the only life he would have from now on.

However, it is obvious that most people are not like Munn, who likes peace for thousands of years. For young wizards, although a peaceful life is wonderful, it still needs some fun to spice it up. one time.

Moon is quite supportive of this.

No, on the weekend of the second week of February, the third game of the semifinals is coming.

It's still the same treasure hunt competition as in previous years, but because the format of the finals has been modified, some minor adjustments have been made to the third game.For example, the increase in cards, the increase in the number of teams passing the level, etc.

After several years of the Four-wizard Tournament, the young wizards at Hogwarts have long been accustomed to this event, and have gradually developed their own little fun——

In the first two games of the Four-wizard Tournament, the young wizards generally do not have a team that they support very much. This is because there are too many people participating in the first two games. Under the premise that most of the young wizards have chosen to participate, Everyone must give priority to supporting their own team to win.Until the end of the second Gobstone game, at this time, the number of teams left is relatively limited, and most of them have their own "real skills".

Therefore, just like when watching a Quidditch match, as soon as today's match started, many of the little wizards who were watching immediately began to cheer for the team they supported.

Among all the teams that entered the third game, it was almost visible to the naked eye that Penello's Qingshui team led the way in the number of supporters - at least a quarter of the little wizards in the game were theirs. fan.

This is not surprising, after all, they have won the previous two championships, and the captain is also a Ravenclaw prefect, a very popular one.Percy... Although he is also a prefect, he can only play a negative role in gaining fans.

There is no way, he is too strict.

Therefore, when Moon looked at the little wizards who were watching and found that someone was actually holding a sign that said "Go Percy Weasley", Moon was almost shocked.
