Hogwarts professor in Marvel

Moreover, it can be expected that as long as the operation is done properly, there will be opportunities to obtain more secrets about meditation methods in the future.

By then, a mere Lockhart...

When he thought of this, a hint of eagerness flashed in his eyes towards Ms. Rita Skeeter in front of him.

Although the other party is a half-blood wizard, interests are paramount and it is worth their efforts to win him over.

"Come on, Ms. Skeeter." Cain Parkinson stood up and raised his glass to Rita Skeeter, saying, "We will need more cooperation in the future."

“The Parkinson family will never let down any of their friends.”

After hearing what Cain said, Rita's face was full of smiles. She quickly raised her glass and said, "It is my honor to cooperate with the Parkinson Family."

At the same time, other members of the family also toasted one after another, expressing their support for Rita Skye.

The other party's unique Animagus alone is enough to make them look at him differently.

And now, the other party is the core figure of the entire meditation method stealing plan. Anyone who does not win him over is a fool.

Face is something that is completely insignificant in the face of sufficient benefits.

Lucius, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at the pure-blood families below who were trying to win over the people he brought with them. A gloomy look flashed across his eyes, but it turned into calmness in an instant.

After a while...

cough!

Lucius Malfoy coughed lightly, and immediately, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Seeing this, Lucius slowly said: "Everyone, thanks to Ms. Rita Skeeter, we have achieved some results."

"But don't forget that Lockhart and Dumbledore have joined forces. Ordinary methods will hardly work on them."

Having said that, Lucius paused and his voice became a little gloomy.

"Don't forget, just the day before yesterday, Dumbledore forcefully approved Lockhart's honorary membership of the school board at the school board meeting."

After hearing what Lucius said, everyone fell silent.

As a group of people, they are all members of the school board, so they naturally know what Dumbledore has done.

They instinctively opposed the proposal, but there was nothing they could do as the other party was the principal, his reasons were very convincing and his attitude was very tough.

Finally, only this proposal could be passed.

And since Lockhart had the status of an honorary board member, in many cases it was difficult for them to put pressure on him through Hogwarts.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Lucius also said: "However, I have an idea that is very good."

“I wonder if you’re interested in listening to it.”

After hearing what Lucius said, everyone nodded and said, "Lucius, just say it."

"Yes, if it's appropriate, I will definitely support it."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Lucius nodded slightly and said, "Under the current circumstances, with Dumbledore here, we can't take action against Lockhart through Hogwarts."

"But don't forget that Professor Lockhart submitted a paper on meditation to a European magic journal."

"..."

As Lucius continued to explain his plan, everyone looked at him with different eyes.

Wow, he is worthy of being from the Malfoy family, so cruel and shameless.

When Rita Skeeter heard this, a strange look flashed in her eyes.

A moment later...

"What do you think of my method?" Lucius asked everyone with a smile, "If possible, we have to work together and even involve some families."

Everyone was silent for a moment regarding Lucius's plan, as if they were considering the trade-offs involved.

This plan sounds good, but it costs a lot of resources, and if you are not careful, the backlash will be huge.

As if seeing everyone's hesitation, Lucius said temptingly: "Everyone, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child."

"When we monopolize this meditation method in the future, the pure-blood families will be able to return to their peak."

"and....."

"Purebloods will always be purebloods!"

Lucius's tempting words added a heavy weight to the scales in their hearts.

"Okay, Lucius, I support you." Cain Parkinson said from the side.

Afterwards, other pure-blood families also responded.

Seeing this, Lucius' face was full of smiles. He seized this opportunity. The Malfoy family will usher in a new peak in his hands.

After the atmosphere calmed down a little, Lucius smiled at Lita Skeeter and spoke again: "Same, make sure the plan goes smoothly."

"I think that Ms. Rita Skeeter is very suitable for the position of deputy editor of the Daily Prophet."

"What do you think?"

After a brief silence, everyone said, "Of course, Ms. Skeeter is very suitable for this position."

"Yes, with Ms. Skeeter's expertise, she is the perfect fit."

“…”

After hearing everyone's reactions, Rita's face flashed with joy, and she quickly thanked them, "Thank you, Lord Lucius, and thank you for your recognition."

"I will definitely not let you down."

After hearing this, everyone looked at Rita Skeeter with approval.

But I don’t know what he is thinking.

This was simply Lucius using their power to do Rita Skeeter a favor.

Rita Skeeter had made such a great contribution before, could they refuse?

They all have shares in the Daily Prophet, and they can still push for the position of deputy editor, but not editor-in-chief.

However, it is clear that Rita Skeeter absolutely has to do Lucius a favor.

It is even possible that this was something the two of them had discussed in advance.

Chapter 273: Inciting Voldemort's Horcruxes (Two in One)

The Daily Prophet, Editor-in-Chief's Office.

Editor-in-Chief Cotton sat at his desk, quietly listening to his subordinate Berlin's constant complaints, or rather... expressions of loyalty.

"Editor-in-chief, you have worked hard for 20 to 30 years to get to this position."

"As a result, Rita Skeeter, a reporter who only knows about distorted reports, became the deputy editor because she relied on a pure-blood family."

"Is this fair? If someone like this can become deputy editor-in-chief, we editors and reporters will never accept it."

"Editor-in-chief, tell me, what should we do?"

"As long as you say the word, no one in the entire newspaper will pay attention to this woman who sells her body."

“…”

Cotton squinted his eyes and listened quietly to the complaints in Bolin's voice. With his rich experience, how could he not hear the envy hidden in Bolin's complaining tone.

Rita Skeeter, this stupid, shallow reporter who only knows how to show off her writing skills, actually had the opportunity to rely on a pure-blood family and get a position second only to her own deputy editor-in-chief.

This was totally beyond his expectations.

Generally speaking, for someone like this who comes out of nowhere, Cotton has 100 ways to make her unable to stay at the Daily Prophet.

However, there were many pure-blood families pushing her up this time, which even made him feel very difficult.

If he takes direct action, there will probably be more trouble.

Therefore, he must pay more attention to this woman.

I hope this woman doesn't show off her stupid tricks in the newspaper office, otherwise don't blame him for being ruthless.

As his thoughts turned, Cotton reached out to interrupt Bolin's complaints and said, "Bolin, I know everyone's mentality."

"Don't worry, everything is under control. Let's go back and let everyone continue working. We will call you when we need you."

"I'll call you if something happens."

Berlin, who had just been interrupted, heard what the editor-in-chief said, opened his mouth, hesitated a little, then nodded and said, "Okay, editor-in-chief, I'll go back first."

Then, he turned around and left.

Cotton watched Bolin's departing figure, tapping his desk lightly with his fingertips, lost in thought.

Why does Rita Skeeter get the support of so many pure-blood families?

There must be a reason.

Only by finding the root cause can we drive this shallow woman out of our territory without any hidden dangers.

.............

The next day, in the Daily Prophet meeting room.

Editor-in-chief Cotton sat in the main seat, looking at the editors sitting on both sides of the long table with solemn faces and no whispering. There was a hint of approval in his eyes, and then he turned his gaze to the first empty chair on his left.

There was a flash of sneer and disdain in his eyes, and he continued to wait silently.

After a while...

Click!Click!Click!

With the sound of a door opening, a woman wearing jeweled glasses and emerald green clothes walked in.

It was Rita Skeeter.

Rita looked around, seeing everyone staring at her, and the only seat left was hers, that of deputy editor-in-chief.

There was a nameless anger in my heart, and I knew that this was a warning to myself.

However, when I thought of my master's instructions.

Rita walked to her seat expressionlessly and sat down.

When Cotton saw Rita's expression, he was a little surprised. Her behavior was somewhat beyond his expectations.

However, he didn't think about it and just clapped his hands: "Welcome our new colleague, Ms. Rita Skeeter."

Suddenly, all the editors applauded.

Rita Skeeter, who had just sat down, immediately stood up again and was about to express her gratitude to everyone.

result....

"Deputy Editor Rita, please sit down. I will read out your appointment first."

Rita felt aggrieved when she was interrupted by Editor-in-Chief Cotton and was ready to start cursing.

But when he thought of the task assigned by his master and the instructions of Ms. Carter in the magic mark, he could only sit down expressionlessly.

When Cotton saw this, he was even more surprised. How could Rita keep her composure?

Why is it different from what he knew before?

He was also planning to make Rita lose face the first time she entered the newspaper office.

Now it seems that I was not the one who underestimated Rita Skeeter.

Thinking about this, Cotton stood up, took out a piece of parchment, and read: "After research and decision by the board of directors of the Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter is appointed as the deputy editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet."

After briefly reading out the appointment, Cotton applauded again and said, "Welcome Deputy Editor Rita to join the Daily Prophet."

The editors below also applauded in response.

But when Cotton stopped clapping, all the editors stopped clapping too.

Rita once again felt the intimidation from Cotton and wanted to beat up the editor-in-chief Cotton.

But he still smiled and said politely to all the editors: "Thank you all, I will need your support in the future..."

This time, Editor-in-Chief Cotton did not interrupt Rita Skeeter, but allowed her to finish her words of thanks smoothly.

The simple test just now revealed that Rita's personality was somewhat different from what I had imagined, and it had almost no practical effect.
