The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 413
After Christmas, it was New Years. After the students said a few words to each other, Hogwarts resumed classes.February 24 suddenly seemed much closer.

The grounds were still covered with thick snow, and the windows of the castle were beaded with fine condensation, and in weather like this, everyone wanted to stay indoors in the warmth.

In the twilight cabin, Ada sat by the fireplace, holding today's "Daily Prophet" in her hand.There was an article on it, accompanied by a picture of Hagrid looking furtive.

Rita Skeeter's scoop again, in which Rita Skeeter describes Dumbledore as a befuddled old madman who hired the sinister Alastor Moody and Hired half-giant Rubeus Hagrid.

Exaggeration and lies are the characteristics of Rita Skeeter, although she can always know many unknown secrets, such as the fact that Hagrid is a half-blood giant.

The crazy woman described Hagrid as a cruel and violent man who abused his power, causing many students to be injured and disabled.

This is pure fiction!
Although Hagrid's Care of Fantastic Beasts class often has some "scary" animals, since he was the professor of this course, only Draco Malfoy has been injured, and Malfoy asked for it.

But no one with a brain should believe it. If the truth is what Rita Skeeter said, there are several students who are left with disabilities, this matter will have turned upside down long ago, and it is impossible to cover it up.

If it is normal for Rita Skeeter to know that some students have been injured, and she made it up through interviews with students, then she knows that Hagrid is a half-blood giant. up.

Among the students at Hogwarts, the only ones who knew that Hagrid was a half-blood giant were Ada, Fred, and George, and the three also guessed based on Hagrid's figure, without any real hammer.

But Rita Skeeter said that Hagrid personally admitted this incident, and even accurately named Hagrid's giant mother-Friedwafa.

Knock on the blackboard, highlight, how could Hagrid tell Rita Skeeter that he is a half-giant, he didn't even tell Harry.So, how did this woman, Rita Skeeter, know?
Also, Dumbledore banned Rita Skeeter from Hogwarts after first reporting on the Triwizard Tournament. How did these so-called interviews come about?

Seeing that Rita Skeeter has no professional ethics, and even has no bottom line in life, Ada feels that the revenge action she is about to launch may be a bit too light.

In the school, there was a lot of discussion about the "Daily Prophet" article. Many people knew that the content was not true, but few people spoke out.It's nothing to do with yourself, and there's nothing wrong with it.

Graplan temporarily returned to Hogwarts to teach Care of Fantastic Beasts instead of Hagrid.Hagrid needed to hide from the limelight, and he was really not in the mood to teach students right now.

Outside the school, a group of idiots really took Rita Skeeter's report as truth, and clamored to punish Hagrid severely, and even shouted to tell Dumbledore to get out of Hogwarts.

I have to say that this big brother is really courageous, and Ada guesses that this person may have been instigated by Fudge.

This matter occupied the heat of the first week of school, and no one saw Hagrid for a whole week.He was not seen at the staff table at meals, nor was he seen performing gamekeeper duties on the grounds.

Hagrid just kept himself bored in his hut, silently bearing the injustice the world brought to him.

The incident was almost fermented, and groups of fools regarded Rita Skeeter as a messenger of justice and a person who spoke up for justice.

At this time, a serial article suddenly appeared in major magazines and newspapers, titled "Those Years I Was a Journalist".

As the name suggests, this article will be about a reporter's career, and the story will be told using the No.1 name, without revealing who "this reporter" is from the beginning to the end.

The article begins with a young reporter who has just entered the industry and works hard.This young reporter was rejected for an interview, the report was not taken seriously, and no one even wanted to read the real content he wrote.

The mentality of the little reporter who can't make ends meet has begun to change. He no longer speaks out for justice, and no longer reports the real content.As a result, the fake news made him famous and loyal readers, which made him taste the sweetness.

The first article came to an abrupt end here, and readers still have more to say.Soon, the second article appeared in the public view, still did not say the reporter's real name.

The transformed reporter has gained both fame and fortune. From being ignored and ignored at the beginning, he has become very popular and has become a special reporter for the best-selling newspaper.

This reporter even used his unique interview method to get a lot of first-hand information that no one knew about.These contents have not been seen before, so there is no way to distinguish the authenticity.

In order to make his report more popular, this reporter can be said to do everything possible, including fabricating things out of nothing, exaggerating, spreading rumors, and doing everything possible.

All previous experiences told this reporter that readers don’t care whether the report is true or not, as long as the content is good enough, it is a good report, and I am a good reporter.

In the second article in the series, the reporter described some of the content he had reported, and analyzed what methods he used to make his reports sell well.

It can be called a teaching book for unscrupulous journalists.

Readers who finished reading these two reports began to wonder who this reporter was.At the same time, readers also want to know what kind of interview method this reporter used to obtain so many unknown "truths".

But sadly, none of these readers realized what was wrong with them.It is precisely because of these readers that this unprofessional and unprofessional reporter became popular.

Dig out the dark side deep in the hearts of readers, and show them the content they like.It has nothing to do with reality, as long as it is strong enough, even if it is fake or fictional.

This is the hateful side of human beings, I hope your life is not as good as mine.The reporter's fire showed the ugliness of human nature to the fullest.

The third and last article in the series also did not mention the reporter's name, but mentioned the reporter's interview method - Animagus.

The reporter was an Animagus, an illegal Animagus not registered with the Ministry of Magic.He can transform into a very small flying insect, and even if he is seen, he will not attract attention.

In this way of eavesdropping, the unknown truths are recorded for reporting.However, I am afraid that few people want to know these truths, and they will not attract too much attention, so what should we do?
Exaggerating the facts, it is obvious that only one student was slightly injured due to an accident, so it is said that the teacher intentionally injured the student; if only one student was injured not seriously enough, then it is replaced by several students, and the minor injury is said to be disabled.

When the conflict comes, the explosive point comes, and the readers will naturally come.

At this point, these three serialized articles have ended hastily, just like life, it always ends hastily.

But readers understand who the "reporter" in the article is, isn't this Rita Skeeter!
She had just reported on the half-blood giant professor at Hogwarts, saying that the professor was ferocious and brutal, leaving several students disabled.

However, you must know that when God spreads wisdom to the world, some people hold up umbrellas.Some people denounced Rita Skeeter and hoped that she would come forward to give an explanation, while others defended Rita Skeeter and firmly supported her.

What was Rita Skeeter doing at this moment?
Lita skeeter sat in the dock, and many people she had "interviewed" joined forces to sue her to the Ministry of Magic.

Illegal Animagus, defamation, malicious rumors to slander others, false reports, etc.At the same time, she also faces huge claims, mental damages, reputation damages and so on.

The current Rita Skeeter simply doesn't care about the opinions of the people in the magic world. She must first avoid being sent to Azkaban.

Use Rita Skeeter's most familiar way to release her black material, and then join Rita Skeeter's victims to sue her to the Ministry of Magic, and use her own way to punish her.

At this time, Rita Skeeter has no regrets, and she doesn't even feel that she has done anything wrong.She just wants to make money and expose the "truth" by the way. Where is she wrong, she is right!

Rather than repenting and pleading guilty, Rita Skeeter wanted to know who she had offended, to be punished like this!

This person is of course Ada, Ada who must take revenge.As soon as the report about the Triwizard Tournament came out, Ada contacted Danielle and Sergey, and asked the two to lead people to dig out Rita Skeeter's black material.

Heaven pays off. Several months of visits and investigations allowed Daniel and Sergey to collect a lot of black material and find many victims.

Professional things are left to professional people. Collecting intelligence Daniel and Sergey are professional, but playing with pens is not enough.Fortunately, colleagues are enemies, so it is very easy to find someone who is willing to write and break the news.

After negotiating the price, three articles were released.At the same time, Danielle brought these victims to the lawsuit, doing both.

At Hogwarts at this time, the focus of the students naturally shifted from the half-blood giant Hagrid to the unscrupulous reporter Rita Skeeter, denouncing his various misdeeds.

But just some time ago, many students were still fond of Rita Skeeter's articles!
