The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 292 Special Report on Rita Skeeter

Bagman now wanted to kill Ollivander.

He just told Link that Ollivander was one of his own, and he would give Link some slack in terms of wand testing.

As a result, Ollivander turned around and completely sold out what kind of magic Link was good at.

This is literally hitting him in the face!

He turned his head and glanced at the referee's bench next to him, and sure enough, he saw that Karkaroff and Maxim were both secretly happy at having accidentally learned important information, and he couldn't help but become even more angry.

He didn't find it strange why Link, a Hogwarts student, was good at cursing black magic.

After all, the Foley family has a background as a dark wizard.

Family background is normal.

At the same time, Ollivander himself was so nervous that he broke into a cold sweat.

Being a wandmaker is actually a very dangerous profession.

Because the Ministry of Magic often invites wand makers to detect minute marks on the wand to determine what spells the user of the wand has used and how many people he has killed.

Therefore, after many dark wizards have done bad things, they will choose to kill the nearby wand maker and silence them.

This is how Ollivander's grandfather died.

Now, Ollivander felt like he was quickly following in his grandfather's footsteps.

Because not only did he find a lot of traces of advanced curse-like black magic on Link's wand just now.

I also discovered the aura of death that only appears on corpses!

The ebony wood itself absorbs the dead air free in the surrounding air, so this discovery is not actually surprising.

But the key point is that the death energy wrapped around this ebony wand is too strong!

When you consider that it has only been a few years since Link acquired the wand, the truth becomes obvious.

Link Fury killed more than one person with this wand!

After coming to this conclusion, Ollivander's hands were shaking so much that he could hardly hold the wand.

The only thing he was glad about now was that Bagman had stopped him in time and prevented him from telling the truth about his death.

Otherwise, with the Foley family's ruthless methods, he estimated that he would soon be dead on the streets.

"Mr. Foley, your wand is in good condition and there is no problem at all."

Link took the wand from Ollivander and returned to his previous seat without saying anything.

He didn't think it was a big deal that Ollivander revealed his information.

After all, he knew very well that his strength far exceeded that of ordinary students. Under the absolute crushing strength, even if the opponent had more information, he would not be able to cause any trouble to him.

The next thing is much simpler.

After being frightened like this by Link, Ollivander no longer had the mood to show off and cause trouble.

After testing Harry's wand in just three strokes, five divided by two, he carried his toolbox and left Hogwarts as if he was running away.

Even Dumbledore didn't stop him.

"Okay, now it's time to take pictures!"

Bagman regained his excitement and gestured to everyone, "Come on, everyone come together!"

The crowd slowly gathered. Rita Skeeter, perhaps seeing that Link was not happy on his face, quickly came to Link's side and whispered:

"Mr. Foley, the article I want to write this time will not only be published in the Daily Prophet, but also in the International Federation of Wizards and be distributed to wizards in other countries. And this photo is for As the cover of the article. So I still invite you..."

Link stretched out his hand to interrupt her and walked into the team.

When he thought about it, it was just a photo shoot, and it shouldn't take long.

However, it turns out that the professional abilities of photographers in the wizarding world are obviously much worse than those of the photography masters in the Muggle world.

It took the Daily Prophet photographers almost half an hour to solve the problem of Ms. Maxim being too big and blocking other people.

In the end, Ms. Maxim managed to find a bench and sit at the back.

Although it took a long time, everyone was very patient when facing the camera.

Among them, Furong is probably the happiest.

Because Rita Skeeter didn't know why she was crazy, she directly arranged Link to the middle C position, and also asked Fleur to be close to him, pretending to be a little bird.

Dumbledore and the others had no objections to this, and even Ms. Maxim seemed a little happy to see it happen.

As for Krum.

Link originally thought that a sports star like him would have been accustomed to flash lights and cameras.

But surprisingly, Klum kept hiding behind the crowd, not wanting to be in the camera at all.

Surprisingly shy.

"Okay! Thank you everyone for your cooperation!"

After the flash flashed violently, the bearded staff member with the camera on his shoulder wiped his sweat and said.

He was very anxious just now.

Fortunately, no one cared about him, and everyone walked out of the classroom.

Harry walked especially in a hurry, looking very worried.

Seeing this, Link finally couldn't bear it anymore and chased after him and said:

"Harry, are you all right?"

"Me? Of course I'm fine."

Seeing Harry's confused look, Link wanted to ask more questions, but Harry continued directly, "Oh, it's about those badges, right? Don't worry, I won't take it to heart. Let them talk if they want to. Go ahead."

Harry's expression was very calm when he said this. With the ability of Legilimency, Link could see that Harry was not lying.

He really doesn't care.

This is a bit strange, after all, Harry has always been a sensitive naughty child in Link's impression.

"Then why are you in such a hurry?"

Link asked.

"It's Hermione," Harry sighed. "We just happened to bump into Draco when we were going to Potions class. As you know, that guy always likes to cause trouble for me. Then we had a little fight with him. During the conflict, something unexpected happened. Hermione was hit by a spell and is still lying in the infirmary. I am just a little anxious to see her. But don't worry, she should be fine. She just has a change in her front teeth. It's just longer.

As for those rumors, you really don’t have to worry, Sirius has already written to enlighten me.And I still remember what you told me before.I'll come to you if I need help. "

Harry muttered for a long time.

Hearing this, Link nodded with peace of mind.

If it were Sirius Black, he might actually be able to enlighten Harry successfully.

After all, as a guy who had been unjustly accused for more than ten years, Sirius had extensive experience in dealing with rumors.

After pondering for a while, Link recalled that Hermione and the other three often came to visit him when he was hospitalized, so he said:

"Let me go with you to visit Hermione."

Since the two people still didn't stop when they were talking before, they had actually arrived at the door of the infirmary at this time.

Harry was stunned for a moment, looked up at the door of the infirmary, and finally said with some embarrassment:

"just forget it?"

"What's wrong?" Link frowned, "Didn't you say that her front teeth just grew longer? Madam Pomfrey shouldn't let us in."

"Um...I guess Hermione doesn't want to see you. She doesn't even want to see me at this time."

Link: "?"

"Think about it," Harry spread his hands and said, "Hermione is a girl after all. Do you think she would want us to see her current ugly appearance?"

Harry's words left Link speechless.

For the first time in his life, he discovered that Harry also had emotional intelligence.

……

In the next few days, Link returned to campus study life.

In addition to studying in class every day, I spend time with Emily Niwai.

Of course, Link didn't forget Hermione either.

The day after Hermione recovered from her injury, Link made a special trip to Gryffindor to visit, and by the way, he gave Hermione a fully automatic quill made of peacock tail feathers as a gift.

The whole visit process can be said to be a great time for both host and guest.

But every time he thought of the scene at that time, Link would silently thank Harry in his heart.

Because according to Harry, he was beaten extremely badly when he went to the infirmary alone to visit Hermione.

On the fourth day after the photo shoot, the article written by Rita Skeeter was finally published through the Daily Prophet and the International Union of Wizards.

Rita Skeeter fully understood Link's hint, or warning.

In that article, she almost trumpeted Link as the only candidate to win the Triwizard Tournament, and used gorgeous but actually meaningless flattery to directly fill the entire article with content about Link. 70.00%!

Of the remaining 30.00%, Fleur alone accounted for half.

This is also thanks to Link.

Because Rita Skeeter disclosed Fleur's Veela ancestry in ambiguous and suggestive sentences in her article.

At the same time, she was also portrayed as a coquettish and scheming girl who was obsessed with Link's family background and talent.

The most important thing is, through Rita Skeeter's excellent writing, anyone who reads this article will have the feeling that Fleur has basically succeeded, successfully chased Link, and let Link immerse himself in the gentle land. feeling in.

This is actually a public opinion attack against Fleur and Beauxbatons School. After all, this will inevitably trigger readers' condemnation of Fleur.

As for Krum and Harry, they were brushed aside.

Rita Skeeter even spelled Klum's name wrong.

The admiration and pursuit of celebrities by Europeans and Americans is actually very strange.

They seem to feel deep down in their bones that if they can meet a famous person, it will be something worthy of showing off and feeling honored.

Therefore, after the release of this newspaper, Link quickly ushered in a new wave of fans.

A large number of lower-grade students would automatically gather at the door of the Hufflepuff lounge after class every day, waiting for Link to appear, and then swarm over.

This situation was not considered serious within Hufflepuff. After all, everyone basically met every day and were very familiar with each other.

But when Cedric's real article was cut out and posted on Hufflepuff's bare wall of honor, Link's last piece of pure land finally fell.

Now, he is surrounded by crowds basically every day when he goes out.

Those fanatical students would even look at Link in Potions class despite Snape's almost murderous gaze.

Unable to be bothered, Link quickly made a decision.

Take Emily with you to Hogsmeade.

This way you can at least enjoy a clean and leisurely weekend.

What he never expected was that the Triwizard Tournament, as the absolute theme of Hogwarts this year, would also receive eager attention from the residents of Hogsmeade.

After all, the villagers are in the business of Hogwarts students.

Whatever the students like, they will have to attract customers.

Therefore, the report about Link is also posted in shops of all sizes in Hogsmeade Village!

Walking on the crowded streets of Hogsmeade Village, Link looked a little confused. He turned a small corner and took Emily into Mrs. Puddifer's Tea House.

In Link's opinion, this quiet couple's teahouse wouldn't be as boring as those ordinary shops outside, so boring that they use his photos to attract customers.

But he was still too naive.

Not only does Lady Puddieffe's Teahouse also post articles by Rita Skeeter.

And it’s a super enlarged version!

It’s attached to the ceiling of the teahouse!

Everyone who walks into the teahouse can see the article and the accompanying photo of all the warriors and the referees as long as they raise their heads.

"Pfft!~"

Looking at Link's helpless expression, Emily couldn't help laughing.

Then he seemed to feel a little guilty, and stroked Link's hair and said:

"Don't worry about it. At least they photographed you well."

This is a big truth.

Since Rita Skeeter took Link as the protagonist from the beginning, Link was in the best position regardless of the angle, light and shadow, and the photos taken naturally perfectly reflected Link's handsomeness.

The only thing that was a little distorted was that Fleur next to him was very close to him. From the photo alone, it was as if her whole body was pressed against Link's body.

After looking at the photo carefully for a while, Link asked guiltily:

"Aren't you angry?"

"Angry?" The corner of Emily's eyes outlined a beautiful arc, which seemed to be a smile, but also had some meaningful meaning. "Are you referring to the recent scandal between you and Fleur? Or do you mean that you secretly concealed it from me some time ago? About visiting Hermione?"

Hearing this, Link's body stiffened for a moment, and just as he was about to quibble, Emily continued:

To exchange good books, pay attention to the vx public account [Book Friends Base Camp].Pay attention now to receive cash red envelopes!

"Actually, I'm not a stingy person. After all, you are also a boy with normal development. I can understand it and I won't care.

But ah.We will be engaged after this semester ends.This kind of thing will never be allowed after the two of us get engaged.otherwise……"

Emily did not continue speaking, but the murderous intent hidden in her words made Link couldn't help but get goosebumps.

He nodded immediately like pounding garlic.

You must know that Emily has learned from Mrs. Foley since she was a child.

Although he can be stupid sometimes, in terms of methods and ruthlessness, he is definitely the top existence in Yu country.

Link was confident that even if he did something, Emily would not be willing to take revenge on him.

But the girl who happened to him was in a terrible situation.

Emily would probably skin them and dismember them!

Seeing Link's reaction, Emily smiled sweetly and hugged Link's arm. She looked just like the other girls in the teahouse who came with their boyfriends.

At this moment, Link saw a somewhat familiar silver-haired girl suddenly walk into the teahouse and walked straight towards him and Emily.
