Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 179 Xenophiliuslovgood

Sirius Black escaped from prison.

Before Sirius Black escaped from prison, Tierra listened to his howls all night long. Even in the movies of her past life, Tierra had never heard such desperate howls.

It was a roar of anger, pain, regret, and despair—

That was Sirius Black's last, desperate cry, his sanity hanging by a thread—

The deaths of James Porter and Lily Porter did not erode his rationality, nor did more than a decade of imprisonment.

But Tierra's simple words became the final straw that broke Black's back—

That night, after venting his emotions through shouting, Sirius Black escaped Azkaban before dawn.

And just as Tierra had predicted, Sirius took the photo album with him—

It's easy to imagine that, given Sirius Black's personality, he would never give up this photo album filled with every moment of Harry Potter's growth.

This was more precious to him than the Black family's vast fortune—

This also allows Tierra to locate Black's position anytime, anywhere using this photo album. Furthermore, if Sirius Black keeps that photo album close to his body—

Just like now, Sirius is carrying Tierra's photo album with him in a way that's even more intimate than physical intimacy—

Sirius Black is currently pawing his way from Azkaban to the shore in the form of a dog, and the photo album has become one with his black dog form thanks to Sirius's Animagus magic.

So now Tiera can not only read Sirius's thoughts, but even, to some extent—

Tierra can affect Sirius Black's physical body.

However, Tierra did not do that.

Tiera already controls an alias of "Gidro Lockhart," and controlling another puppet, "Sirius Black," would be too much of a mental burden for him.

This would prevent him from concentrating on a lot of magical research and ritual analysis.

Moreover...Tiera believed that, given Sirius Black's pure Gryffindor talent for causing trouble, letting him roam freely was far better than turning him into a puppet.

Three days after Sirius Black's escape, while Sirius was still digging for field mice to eat in the moors of northern England, Tyrell had already had Dobby prepare a sumptuous lunch—

Today is the day he and Xenophiliuslovgood have arranged to meet and discuss the magazine collaboration.

The location was his house, and the time was lunchtime.

"Ding-dong-"

“Let me do it!” Just as Dobby was about to open the door, Tiera stopped him.

“They may become our allies; there’s no need to hide it,” Tierra said.

“Yes, sir,” Dobby said.

Today, Dobby wore a suit, a doll-like outfit that Tyella specially ordered from a Muggle clothing store, and it fit Dobby perfectly.

There are five seats at the dining table.

In his reply, Xenophiliuslovgood said that he would bring Lunalovgood to visit him.

Lovegood and his daughter each have two seats, Lockhart and his son each have two seats, and there's one more seat, which is obviously reserved for Dobby.

Yes, Tierra is planning to have Dobby dine at the table with the guests today. She even had a suit specially made for this occasion.

This might be considered an insult or provocation by other wizards, but Tiera believed that Xenophilius Lofgood would certainly not see it that way.

Tyella, of course, wouldn't cooperate with Xenophilius Lofgood unprepared. In the three days since returning from the Ministry of Magic, Tyella had already used her reputation as "Giddy Lohart" to inquire about Xenophilius Lofgood's character at newspapers, bookstores, and other older wizards in Diagon Alley.

The result was quite surprising.

Xenophilius L. Goode graduated two years earlier than Sirius Black, just as Voldemort's rise to power was beginning.

However, Xenophilius's talent for magic was not particularly strong, and his grades were mediocre, so he did not join the Ministry of Magic after graduation. Fortunately, he was very knowledgeable during his school years, read a lot of books, and had a good writing style.

Therefore, Xenophilius was hired by the Daily Prophet immediately after graduation, and was hailed as a "rising star" by the Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet for his sharp critical articles written during Voldemort's reign.

She enjoyed immense fame and fell in love with Pandora Hephaestus, then head of the Department of Magical Creatures at the Ministry of Magic.

However, as the Ministry of Magic's post-war reconstruction efforts and the trials of Death Eaters gradually came to a close, Xenophilius Lovegood became dissatisfied with the Ministry's lenient sentences for Death Eaters like Lucius Malfoy. He then publicly wrote an article in the Daily Prophet accusing the Ministry's officials of being a bunch of scoundrels.

"A miser who can't distinguish right from wrong."

After that, Xenophilius Lovegood gradually distanced himself from the mainstream voice of the Ministry of Magic and the wizarding world, and subsequently published—

Several articles, including "On the Protection and Rights of Werewolf Wizards", "How to Protect the Rights of Centaurs Due to Habitat Destruction", and "The Current Situation of Discrimination Against Hybrid Wizards in Modern Society".

And ultimately, Xenophilius ignited the entire wizarding world with his essay, "On Voldemort's Manifestation in the Enslavement of House-Elves."

In the article, he likened the wizards' enslavement of house-elves to Voldemort's rule over the Ministry of Magic, and righteously condemned this as an immoral and inhumane act.

The publication of this article caused a huge uproar in the magical world, and countless threatening and cursing letters were poured into the Lovegood family's mailbox.

The ancient families of the wizarding world expelled Xenophilius from the Daily Prophet, revoked his "Rising Star" medal, and blocked his voice.

At this point, Xenophilius broke completely with the mainstream voice of the wizarding world and, with the support of his wife, founded the magazine "The Quibbler".

Besides publishing eyewitness reports of creatures that supposedly don't exist in the world and other unconventional news, "The Quibbler" also publishes articles criticizing the Ministry of Magic's current affairs.

Therefore, the primary audience of *The Quibbler* magazine was lower-class wizards who were unacceptable to the Ministry of Magic.

These include werewolves discriminated against by mainstream wizarding society, vampires hiding in hiding, half-blood wizards, people trying to integrate into wizarding society, goblin goblins expelled from Gringotts, dark wizards who genuinely want to reform, and righteous wizards who are framed as Death Eaters by their political opponents during the struggle for power in the Ministry of Magic and have to hide in Knockturn Alley.

Upon learning of this situation, Tyella immediately changed her strategy—

Originally, Tierra only wanted to support The Quibbler to gain a voice for herself, but now that she has learned that The Quibbler has such a large following, Tierra finds that she may also be able to use this magazine aimed at lower-class wizards to gather a considerable force in the wizarding world to oppose the Ministry of Magic.

even--

If he operates properly, he could even split off a second Ministry of Magic from Britain when the Ministry's credibility declines in the fifth year.

Cultivating her own power in the magical world might not be so necessary for Tiera, but having enough power would certainly save her a lot of trouble.

For example, finding materials, capturing test subjects, and obtaining information.

Just like this exploration of the Dream Realm.

If Tyra had a group of capable assistants in the wizarding world, he would have no need to spend 50,000 dollars in the Muggle world.
