The accompanying picture was a photo of Umbridge standing very close to a foreign Minister of Magic, which looked very ambiguous, and Umbridge, wearing a pink cardigan, gave Minister Fudge a fawning smile.
Vader looked at the woman with a bright fake smile in the black and white photo and couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.
No one knew how Umbridge had offended Rita Skeeter on the ship, but this reporter was simply seeking revenge with all her might.
Wade could even be sure that, apart from the descriptive and inflammatory texts, at least 80% of the events mentioned in Rita's article were credible.
After reading the newspaper, Ferdinand was silent for a long time before he said to his son:
"Weid, I know you are now somewhat famous, and I often see your name in newspapers..."
“Yeah—” Fiona nodded repeatedly and said proudly, “The Alchemist’s rising star!”
— This is how the media sometimes refers to Vader.
Ferdinand smiled, then said seriously: "But Wade, you have to remember, no matter how nice the compliments those reporters say to you, don't believe them, and don't tell anyone about them."
Fiona retorted first: "Wade won't do that!"
Then she blinked and asked curiously, "But this is different, isn't it? This Ms. Umbridge is full of negative information. If we, Wade, were written about in the newspaper, the biggest question of the readers would definitely be - why is such a perfect child someone else's?"
"Fiona, words can always be misunderstood or twisted. Besides, would you like to see Wade being judged by someone he doesn't even know? He might be envied and slandered, and he might get into unnecessary trouble."
Fiona shook her head vigorously.
Ferdinand looked at Wade and said, "I know you have never been ostentatious, but from now on, you should focus more on yourself and not be disturbed by the noise from the outside world."
"Got it, Dad." Wade nodded.
He looked down at Skeeter's name on the paper, then after a moment, folded it and put it away.
……
Skeeter was transformed into a beetle, squatting on the roof, watching Umbridge rushing into the headquarters of the Daily Prophet with a group of people in a menacing manner.
Soon, her fellow journalists rushed out of the building with their heads in their hands, looking angry but unable to speak out.
Umbridge naturally couldn't find Skeeter, so she turned her anger on the Daily Prophet and announced that she would use stricter regulations to strengthen the control of the newspaper.
The newspaper manager nodded and smiled apologetically, while vaguely answering Umbridge -
"Well... journalists can decide what they want to report..."
"If you think Skeeter is talking nonsense, please point it out and we will change it... Which part is false..."
"Ah, well... if it's reported as a fact, it shouldn't be considered slander... unless you think... hahahaha..."
The editor laughed dryly, wiping the sweat off his face humbly, while making Umbridge so angry that her face turned pale.
While he was speaking, the staff in the newspaper office were working overtime like crazy, because there were so many people who wanted to buy the newspaper on the spur of the moment, so they were printing it overtime.
The editor-in-chief gestured to everyone to work faster while smiling apologetically.
Two owls suddenly flew in from the window and threw the red howling letter at Umbridge's head. A huge roar immediately exploded -
"You ugly and hateful woman! Your behavior is simply outrageous! I feel sick just breathing the same air as you..."
Umbridge screamed, and a spell hit the Howler, causing it to suddenly explode, spraying a large ball of smelly water onto Umbridge.
Umbridge screamed and jumped up.
Skeeter squatted on the roof, laughing "hahaha" with joy, and couldn't help flapping his two front paws hard.
Suddenly, she felt a darkness above her head, and a large group of owls flew towards her, carrying all kinds of letters that were about to explode.
"Bang bang bang-"
A series of howling letters roared, shaking the glass of the newspaper office and making a trembling whine.
Rita Skeeter jumped to the ground and returned to her original form, picked up the camera, and quickly took a precious photo.
In the photo, Umbridge raised her head and looked at the countless screaming letters rushing towards her with a look of extreme horror.
Chapter 323 Crimson Train
The next day was the first day of school, and when Wade got dressed and went downstairs, he saw their neighbors sitting in the living room.
One-eyed Alastor Moody was prodding a piece of sausage with his fork, examining it carefully.
After hearing the footsteps, his blue magic eye rolled around and looked directly at Wade through the back of his head.
"No need to get up so early, kid," Moody said gruffly. "Don't worry about the traffic, because I'll take you to the station."
Wade said in surprise, "Mr. Moody?"
"Hmm." Moody responded sullenly, and said, "Dumbledore told me his plan. He thought it through very carefully, but not carefully enough. A place like the station where there are so many people is the best place to observe others."
"So thank Alastor, he's really thoughtful."
Fiona happily put a browned piece of bread on Moody's plate and said, "Buttered bread, toasted just right."
Moody sniffed and took a closer look before saying, "It smells delicious. You're such a great cook, Mrs. Grey."
"It's actually all thanks to Coco and the others at home!" Fiona asked, "Would you like some egg custard, Alastor?"
"alright, thank you very much."
Moody has always been polite to Fiona. I don't know if it's because he is grateful to the person he met or because he is a gentleman.
Ferdinand asked Wade: "Is everything packed?"
"Yeah, that's right." Wade said, "It's just that Ava doesn't want to go into the cage. Just let her fly to me tonight."
"It's better this way, so there won't be a mess in the car," said Ferdinand.
Before leaving, Wade hugged his parents separately. When Fiona's eyes became moist, he smiled and winked, saying, "Don't worry, Mom. If you miss me so much, I can come back tonight."
Fiona knew he meant "fly back" and burst into laughter, but shook her head and said, "You must obey the school rules, Wade. Otherwise, the teacher will catch you and expel you!"
She hugged him tightly for a long time before finally letting go.
Recently, the tense atmosphere has made Fiona, who has always been carefree, feel the pressure, and separation has become particularly worrying and reluctant.
Ferdinand's warning was the same as always: "Be safe, Wade."
Vader nodded, grabbed Moody's arm, and with a thud, the two of them disappeared from where they were.
Probably no matter how much time passes, the stomach-churning feeling of Apparition will never change.
Wade leaned against the wall and took a while to relax before he felt much better.
Looking up, they were already at Platform Nine and Three Quarters.
A crimson steam train was parked at the platform, with smoke spewing from its roof. The platform was filled with students and parents who were seeing them off. Various animals were making noises in their cages, and the whole place was in chaos.
Moody looked at it for a while, then snorted coldly, "More and more people are raising rats... Dumbledore should add another school rule to prohibit the raising of rodents in school!"
Wade looked around and saw many girls or first-year students carrying hamster cages filled with chubby pets, some of whom were asleep.
It seemed as if they had all forgotten the disgust that Peter Petillo brought to everyone.
However, this scene also reminded Wade of Miss Millyne, the cat that Fiona had raised before.
Although Wade didn't like this kind of pet, he had to admit that it brought Fiona a lot of happiness.
"It should be a puppet pet." After observing carefully for a moment, Wade said, "I have seen several identical white hamsters."
"Puppet puppet?" Moody was silent for a moment, then asked curiously, "Does this thing need to be put in a cage?"
Wade thought for a moment: "... a personal hobby, right?"
Moody shook his head in confusion: "...Let's find a carriage."
Wade came earlier this time, and Michael and the others had not arrived yet. Wade found an empty carriage at random, and Moody got in and took a look around. After confirming that it was safe, he let Wade in.
"Stay alert, boy!"
Before retiring, the Auror gave one last warning, and after seeing that Wade was seated properly, he disappeared from the spot with a "bang".
Wade took the book out of his pocket and put it on the table. Just after reading for a while, he felt an extremely strong gaze staring at him.
He turned his head and saw Harry's flattened face through the glass, staring at him sadly.
"..."
Wade was speechless for a moment before he opened the window: "...Harry? What are you doing?"
"Wait!"
Harry ran around to the door and entered the carriage, then slapped a crumpled piece of paper he had been holding in his hand on the table in front of Wade, then stretched it hard, pulled it open, and slapped it on the table again.
The newspaper was still wrinkled, and a distorted face came into view.
Harry's voice sounded faintly: "Wade, is this the noble, elegant, and kind Ms. Umbridge?"
God knows! How shocked he was when he saw the newspaper!
He couldn't imagine what kind of mentality Wade had to praise such a person to such an extent.
Wade cleared his throat and asked in dissatisfaction, "Harry, how can you judge people by appearance? Does it mean that being ugly does not even qualify you to be elegant?"
Harry, who had a stern face, froze for a moment, and was stunned. He even felt that he really didn't make any sense.
He sat next to her, racking his brains for a while, but still couldn't figure out how to answer.
Wade chuckled, opened the book, and continued to study the "Handbook of Magical Creature Studies".
The blood and wolf hair given by Claire cannot be wasted, but if we want to analyze more specifically, we must first establish a more solid theoretical framework.
The silence in the carriage continued until it was almost time for departure, when Harry heard the noisy voices of the Weasley family outside.
Harry ran out like the wind, and then Wade heard him greeting the Weasleys.
This young wizard, who often seemed a little shy in the original work, now appears much more lively and confident. He is no longer the little boy who longs for love but often avoids love in the plot.
After a while, Michael, Theo and Ryan also found the box, said hello, and their luggage quickly filled the luggage rack.
A long whistle sounded and the conductor began to close the doors one by one.
Hermione also came by at this time to give everyone the gifts she brought back from her trip to France -
A small iron tower that can spit fire. The flame is slightly warm and not hot.
