NOVEL NEXT Vol 3 Chapter 508: keep cool
"Please stay calm, Miss Skeeter!" In Jon Hart's calm voice, there was a faint anger, which made it more aggressive: "Otherwise, there will be no normal dialogue between us. It's..."
Rita Skeeter struggled desperately and let out a few whimpers, and when she realized that she couldn't be an enemy of the man and woman in front of her, she nodded her head as if she accepted her fate.
Jon waved his hand again, and the tape was automatically torn from the female reporter's mouth in an instant, allowing her to breathe.
"I think we can talk peacefully now!" Jon's voice returned to the usual gentleness:
"Miss Skeeter, you read the report you gave me in the Daily Prophet a few days ago... I have to say, very interesting news, especially the adjectives used to me..."
"Those are what the Ministry asked me to write like that!" Rita Skeeter quickly argued with no professional ethics: "They spend money and let me discredit you..."
Hermione Granger on the side opened her mouth slightly in surprise; but the expression on Jon's face remained unchanged.
"Understandable... Maybe, they gave you too much, right?" Jon smiled and nodded: "So you boldly transformed into a beetle, sneaked into Hogwarts, and prepared to dig me more secret……"
"Then I was caught by Miss Perfect!" Rita Skeeter murmured, staring at Hermione fiercely for a while, then lowered her head and said without emotion.
"How shocking!" Jon continued, although there was no surprise in his voice at all: "The true identity of the famous journalist Rita Skeeter is actually an illegal and non-magical identity. The Ministry prohibits abusing the Animagus registered in the Magic Office. If this news is exposed, I am afraid it will cause a big sensation..."
"...Of course, in a few months, the Daily Prophet may pay a lot of money. Would you please write about the life of Azkaban from the inside?" Jon sneered.
"Principal Hart... let's talk about the special correspondent of the Order of the Phoenix..." Rita Skeeter said dejectedly.
But in the frustration, she was also a little excited...
After all, the Order of the Phoenix organization has always been extremely mysterious in the wizarding world, even "more" than the Death Eaters... Being able to get close to the truth of this mysterious organization is undoubtedly very attractive to her.
...
Ten minutes later--
"Do you want to make all of these people's deeds... all public?" Rita Skeeter exclaimed hysterically.
"Yes." Jon nodded without hesitation: "You have no problem with your ears, Miss Skeeter."
"Horace Slughorn...and Alastor Moody...and Remus Lupin...and Arthur Weasley's family..." he cocked his hands and pointed. Shaking his head frantically: "Merlin's beard, what a long press release is necessary... Are you sure you are not crazy?"
"In fact, you can do a series of interviews." Jon responded: "Then it took a while to make their deeds public one by one..."
"But your behavior is absolutely against the Ministry of Magic!" Rita Skeeter couldn't help but mention the tone: "Rufus Scrimgeour dislikes the Order of the Phoenix very much and hates Hogwarts... …He would never let the "Daily Prophet" publish such content, the Ministry of Magic still has a great influence in the editorial department of the newspaper!"
"Unfortunately, Mr. Barnabas-Gufei, the editor-in-chief of the "Daily Prophet", and I have a little bit of overlap, so you don't need to worry about this matter." Jon shook his head.
"The interview like that will last for one or two issues at most..." Rita Skeeter continued to argue: "Scrimgeour will definitely put pressure on the Daily Prophet. He is not a person without means. !"
"If the wizarding world really started to know these news, why would Scrimgeour suppress them?" Jon answered calmly: "Wizards and wizards love to hear, Scrimgeour does not like it, what is he?"
Rita Skeeter raised her head and glanced at Jon with a strange look.
After a long time, she slowly said, "Principal Hart, you are very different from Albus Dumbledore."
"That's natural, and I am not a copy of Professor Dumbledore." Jon joked.
"You have to pay my high remuneration... for every thousand words, at least five gallons!"
"No problem, if you write great, the price will rise sharply!"
"Since when?" Rita Skeeter stood up and patted the dust on her body, looking eager to try.
"Start as soon as possible...but the interview in the principal's office seems inappropriate...after all, you are forbidden to enter Hogwarts, right?" Jon said, looking around: "So please go now. Pig's Head Bar, Miss Skeeter...I will take Mr. Slughorn to find you there...by the way, I will be interviewed."
"...Of course, please don't play tricks, otherwise there will be no good results."
"I see..." Rita-Ski nodded characteristically: "I will go to the pig's head bar to find you now..."
After all, she became the original chubby beetle, and then flew out of the principal's office window.
"Fox...follow her." Jon patted the Phoenix Perch and exhorted.
Then only a golden light flashed, and the phoenix disappeared.
...
Astoria Greengrass arrived at the school at 11:30 noon.
She and her sister are also the last Hogwarts students to return to school after the Easter holiday.
Astoria is in a good mood~www.NovelMTL.com~ In fact, this Easter holiday just past is almost the most pleasant holiday she has spent in recent years...
After returning to the Hogwarts campus and having the first lunch back here, Astoria opened up a few friends and then sneaked to the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle...
Going to the principal's office, she is already familiar with the road.
"Hello, Mr. Stone." Looking at the guarding stone monster, Astoria smiled and greeted it.
Stone bowed her pretentiously, although the actual action was quite awkward...At the same time it also gave way.
Astoria walked around the stone monster and climbed the spiral staircase until she reached the oak gate.
Suddenly, she heard a vague voice of dialogue in the office——
Astoria Greengrass' breathing became a little quick.
