Then his Malfoy family is an important force...

During this process, it was normal for Dolly, as Harry Potter's sister, to come forward. It was impossible to let the savior Harry or the professors of Hogwarts come forward.

Got it, got it all.

After thinking everything through, Lucius breathed a sigh of relief.

The most terrifying thing is unknown danger, but as long as you know the level of danger, the fear will largely dissipate.

Since Dumbledore's goal was not to bring disgrace to the Malfoy family, the most he would do was to offend some people and pay some price in this matter. For Lucius, who was well versed in the art of survival, there was nothing unacceptable about this.

As for the fact that Dobby was still at Dolly's house, he could accept it.

After all, if Dumbledore is the mastermind behind this, it doesn't really make much difference whether Dobby is there or not.

Dumbledore used Legilimency on him to find evidence. Could he still withstand it?

After figuring this out, Lucius began to use the repair spell to restore the layout of the room, and then began to write a reply to Malfoy.

The gist of the letter was that the Malfoy family supported the establishment of four collars and hoped to see the magical world become more colorful. They could donate one thousand gold Galleons for this purpose, but they did not intend to announce this matter in a high-profile manner on the four-color collars.

In addition, the letter also reminded Malfoy: If you need to say something or do something, you should ask Dolly and not try to be clever and do unnecessary things.

Finally, Lucius asked Dolly a question through Malfoy: If he was willing to testify in court that he had never seen Sirius commit a crime, could the matter concerning Dobby end there?

Soon, Lucius' letter arrived in Malfoy's hands.

Malfoy looked at the letter in disbelief, because the omnipotent father in his eyes seemed to be begging Dolly for mercy, especially saying some things that he could not understand.

Who is Sirius?

But he could see that this matter was related to the Death Eaters. Malfoy knew very well that his family was almost completely destroyed because of this incident, so he didn't dare to do anything unnecessary and relayed Lucius' words to Dolly.

Now Dolly was confused.

How is it related to Sirius?

Dolly naturally had no idea how big a logical loop Lucius had imagined in his mind, and he didn't believe at all that Dolly was just trying to blackmail and use him.

There was no way, if Dolly really did something like this, she should have gone to Slytherin.

But Dolly soon understood, and Lucius thought she was trying to overturn Sirius's verdict.

This is not difficult to understand. Dolly and Harry have a visibly good relationship, so it is natural for Dolly to help Harry save his godfather.

After figuring this out, Dolly smiled and said, "Go back and tell your father that if Sirius's case can be overturned, then Dobby will forget everything about the Malfoy family."

"As for you, Malfoy. When Rita Skeeter gets here, you're going to burst into tears and tell her how Buckbeak hurt you and how I blackmailed you."

"Except for the matter of Sirius, you can do whatever you want with the rest."

Chapter 247 The beetle fell into the trap.

Dolly finished what she wanted to say, then left with her friends without looking back, leaving Malfoy alone with a confused look on his face.

Dolly actually lets him continue to slander Buckbeak, is she serious or is she setting her up?

It wasn't that Malfoy didn't believe Harry, but that he was completely confused and didn't know what to do.

He was like a chess piece that Dolly and Lucius were pulling against each other. Not only did he feel dizzy from being pulled, but he also had no idea where he was.

Malfoy had no choice but to tell Lucius about this and try to ask Lucius for his opinion.

After careful consideration, Lucius chose to let Malfoy agree to Dolly's statement.

As for the reasons, Lucius had already thought of them.

If Dolly really did frame Malfoy later, he could criticize Malfoy for lax discipline and suppress the matter as a little wizard's outspokenness.

After all, Malfoy is only 13 years old now. As long as Malfoy himself does not go to the Ministry of Magic to sue Hogwarts or Hagrid, then he can at most publish an apology statement in the Daily Prophet, and the matter will end there.

Of course, he couldn't say the same about Malfoy.

What Lucius said to Mal: Everything is under control, you just need to focus on doing your job.

Anyway, even if his son was cheated, he could still save him. This can be regarded as a realistic education for Malfoy.

On Dolly's side, Qiu Zhang and Luna were also confused and had no idea what Dolly was going to do.

Dolly naturally couldn't explain the problem to Sirius. She could only say, "First there was the Malfoy family, and then there was this reporter. With their secret help, the Daily Prophet is no longer a threat to us."

Although the Daily Prophet seems to be powerful, it controls the entire propaganda work of the British Ministry of Magic.

But because there are so few people in the entire wizarding world, the Daily Prophet has only a few dozen staff members at most.

These dozens of people are further divided into editorial teams, typesetting and printing staff, distribution staff, logistics management and other departments, so there are only a few people who can truly influence the Prophet Daily.

Rita Skeeter is clearly one of them.

Although from the perspective of the protagonists, she is cunning, greedy, and unscrupulous. In order to obtain exclusive news and create a sensational effect, she does not hesitate to use various unethical and even illegal means.

But as a reporter, she is undoubtedly the backbone of the Daily Prophet.

Dolly only needs to influence her, and that will be enough to affect the Daily Prophet's aggressiveness towards the Four-Color Collars, so the Four-Color Collars will have no problem surviving.

After all, Dolly didn't expect the four-color collar to be profitable.

In order to increase sales, Dolly even decided to start a lottery.

The number of gold Galleons to be drawn in the next lottery is determined by the sales volume of the previous issue. At most, tens of thousands of gold Galleons can be earned in a month, and hundreds of thousands of pounds are just pocket money for Dolly.

As for how to control this female reporter, the answer is of course to wait for her to fall into the trap.

Because Dolly believed that with her intelligence, she would definitely discover Malfoy's weirdness, insincerity and timidity.

And given her personality, once she smells the possibility of bigger news, she will never give up on it.

The next day, Rita obtained permission from Hogwarts to interview Malfoy.

Theoretically, it would be very difficult for Rita to enter Hogwarts, even if Lucius pushed her, after all, Lucius is no longer a school director.

However, Dolly wrote a letter to Dumbledore, asking him to let Rita in, and Dolly could handle the rest of the matter herself.

Because of what happened before, Dolly and Dumbledore had formed a kind of tacit understanding.

That is, Dolly would not disturb Dumbledore from training his little savior, and Dumbledore could not deliberately cause trouble for Dolly.

Dumbledore's allowing Rita to enter Hogwarts was clearly a matter of convenience.

In order to repay Dumbledore for his help this time, Dolly didn't mind telling him that if he wanted to overturn Sirius's case in the future, the four-color collar could help.

In this way, the previously confusing logic has formed a closed loop.

The smallest closed loop is that Malfoy wants to frame Buckbeak and Dolly wants to teach him a lesson.

The closed loop in the middle is that the Four Color Collars were blocked by the Daily Prophet, and Dolly wanted the Daily Prophet to divert its attention.

The biggest closed loop is the Malfoy family, and the Daily Prophet are both pawns for Dolly and Dumbledore to help each other. All this will really take effect when Sirius enters the game.

After sorting this out, Dolly felt like a real genius.

She only explained the small closed loop and the medium closed loop to Luna and Qiu Zhang, and the two girls looked at Dolly with admiration.

Although they are all very smart, they are far inferior to Dolly who uses her intelligence and talents outside of school to influence the magical world.

In the afternoon, Dolly got the information from Diandian.

Rita's interview with Malfoy is over.

Malfoy's face turned pale, as if he had suffered some great shock.

Rita's face was full of satisfaction, obviously she had fabricated another news report.

Yes, it is fabricated.

If we say that journalists in the Muggle world at least still follow the bottom line of one truth and nine lies, after all, this is still the era of television and newspaper media, and fabricating fake news will be blocked by viewers and readers and they will complain.

As the top news reporter for the Daily Prophet in the British wizarding world, Rita Skeeter has no psychological burden at all when it comes to fabricating fake news.

Anyway, as long as the other party has no means to counter her, she doesn't mind making anyone a news figure.

She has a shorthand quill, which is a special quill made from the feathers of the stork bird. It can automatically record some very ordinary language into exaggerated and unrealistic sentences.

Apparently, she fabricated some news during her interview with Malfoy.

But Rita dared to fabricate news that was unfavorable to the Malfoy family?

Apparently, Rita's burden wasn't that great, and the Malfoys were one of the few who had both the ability and the willingness to counter her.

So she just teased Malfoy a few times, and the person who actually made up the fake news was Dolly.

"Quick, tell the Dursleys!"

"We can't let this woman get away alive!"

After Rita left, Malfoy told Diandian this sentence, and it quickly reached Dolly's ears.

"What did that woman do?"

Qiu Zhang, who was basking in the sun with Dolly, said in surprise: "How did it get involved with you?"

"No, I think it's normal."

Diandian secretly watched the interview between the two people in the corner. It didn't dare to see what Rita wrote, but Dolly knew what Rita wrote from its description.

"Malfoy was frightened by me and subconsciously said my name several times. I guess she must have made up a love story about a rich boy secretly in love with a witch from a Muggle family."

Qiu Zhang was surprised at first, then his face turned pale with disgust. He said, "This kind of thing must not be published in the Daily Prophet!"

"Of course, don't worry, if Rita wants to leave Hogwarts, she has to get my permission."

Dolly had a confident smile on her face.

Hogwarts does not allow Apparition, and there are only a few ways to enter and exit Hogwarts normally, and it is the house-elves who are responsible for taking Rita in and out.

Although this job was not done by Diandian, Dolly was not only on good terms with Diandian. In the eyes of all the house-elves in Hogwarts, Dolly was the most popular wizard.

So if Rita really wants to leave, Diandian will inform Dolly.

Now, since Dolly hadn't gotten the message, it was obvious that Rita wasn't going to leave.

So where is she?

Dolly raised her eyebrows and said, "Qiu Zhang, let's go to my dormitory."

"what……"

Qiu Zhang was stunned, his pale face slowly turning rosy, and he said, "Is this time okay?"

"Hermione's not here anyway, and too much sun isn't good for your skin."

"Ok."

How could Qiu Zhang refuse? He even enthusiastically took Duoli's hand and walked quickly towards the dormitory.

What she minded most was that Dolly and Hermione lived in the same dormitory and slept together every day.

Although she had no evidence, she felt that the two of them must have often taken a bath together, stayed together, and slept together.

This is actually not surprising. It is normal for two girls who are close to each other in the same dormitory to have such intimate behavior.

But when she thought of this scene, she felt sad and wanted to replace Hermione, or at least join in.

It’s a pity that she didn’t have Dolly’s invitation, and she couldn’t really force herself to sleep in Dolly’s dormitory.

Even if Dolly agreed, if Hermione objected, the professors and prefects would come to deal with her if the matter became a big deal.

Soon, the two people came to the dormitory.

Qiu Zhang glanced at the time. It wasn't long before the get out of class was over, so he wasn't going to be able to do much.

But there are still some things that can be done.

She pulled Dolly to sit on the sofa, hugged Dolly without saying anything, kissed Dolly's cheek, and her face turned red.

Dolly's face also turned red, but she still pretended to be surprised and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"Just thank you for having me, so what are we going to do?"

Qiu Zhang held Dolly's arm and did not move any further. She did not want to scare Dolly.

As for Dolly, although she also wanted to do something, it was a pity that there was an uninvited guest following them.

A beetle landed on the balcony and was looking at everything in the room curiously.
