People are in Hogwarts, and werewolves block the door at the beginning.

Chapter 86: Daily Prophet Report
Ron finally went to bed.

He believed what Harry said and Banban hid himself in advance.

Maybe he would see Banban lying next to his pillow early tomorrow morning.

Bagir and the others were also able to go to sleep.

However, before going to bed, Bagir swept the bed with a cleaning spell.

The next day, just as Ron had said, Scabbers returned to his pillow.

Except it was a picture of it, with a short, fat man who looked like a rat next to it.

It is worth mentioning that since Ron made more than 300 Galleons by purchasing pet boxes on behalf of others last time, he started ordering various items.

This also includes the Daily Prophet.

Banban’s photo was on the cover of the newspaper.

Perhaps it's because today's edition of the Daily Prophet is much thicker than usual.

So, when it was dropped by the owl next to Ron's pillow, he was suddenly awakened even though he was sleeping late.

Then I saw the newspaper.

"Banban! No!!! Hey!!!"

Ron vomited all over the floor.

Everyone was woken up, including Bagir who was dozing off in bed.

When they opened their eyes, they saw the filth beside Ron's bed, the pillow thrown far away, and the newspaper waving in his hand.

[Clean up]
Basil pointed his finger, and the filth on the ground and the saliva around Ron's mouth disappeared.

Only then did Harry and the others reluctantly come forward.

Ron said nothing, silently unfolded the newspaper in his hand and placed it on the hexagonal table.

It was an article with a photo of Banban and a man next to him.

The man was short, relatively speaking for an adult, and judging by the picture he was only a few inches taller than Harry.

His thin, light hair was unkempt and he had a large bald spot on top.

Very fat, almost as fat as Crabbe and Goyle.

His skin was dirty, almost as dirty as Scabbers' fur, and he had the characteristics of a rat with his pointed nose and watery eyes.

【Ministry of Magic’s Big Mistake

Our special correspondent Rita Skeeter reports:

Azkaban, located in the center of the North Sea, is surrounded by sea on all sides. Guarded by Dementors, it is undoubtedly the safest prison.

No one in history has ever escaped from prison.

But if the prisoners inside are innocent or are imprisoned for the wrong purpose, its advantages become disadvantages.

Sirius Black is arguably the most notorious prisoner in Azkaban.

Thirteen people were killed with just one spell.

He betrayed his friend James Potter, joined the mysterious man, and killed the hero Peter Pettigrew.

Peter Pettigrew, friend of James Potter and Sirius Black.

A recipient of the Order of Merlin, First Class, he went to Blake for his friend and was eventually killed.

Finally only one finger was left.

The above is the fact that the Ministry of Magic told us.

But sadly, we overlooked one thing.

When Black was arrested, Crouch, who was then Director of the Department of Magical Law and only one step away from becoming Minister of Magic, was eager for promotion. So he put Black in prison without a trial.

It wasn't until yesterday that the truth came to light.

Peter Pettigrew is still alive, and his Animagus is a mouse.

As a pet, he stayed with the Weasley family for nearly eleven years.

In the past year, he also slept in the same bed with Rowan Weasley, the youngest son of the Weasley family, and Harry Potter, the boy who survived.

Fortunately, before we received the news that Harry Potter was bitten to death by a rat, Albus Dumbledore discovered the true identity of this filthy, dirty rat.

He was taken to the Ministry for questioning.

Under the influence of truth serum, he confessed everything.

"I betrayed Lily and James to Voldemort. But what could I do? The Dark Lord was so powerful and terrifying. It was Sirius who insisted that I be the secret keeper. After I said I didn't want to be the secret keeper, they didn't tell Dumbledore. As a result, my mother was not protected."

"Of course I can only betray them."

When this fact was exposed, I thought that Fudge, the cowardly minister who loved to whitewash the truth, would rush to destroy the evidence or put all the blame on Crouch.

Or delay time in order to minimize the impact.

But the truth is, our seemingly fat and wimpy minister is far more responsible than we think.

He ignored everyone's opposition and released Sirius on the spot.

Demonstrated the excellent style of a responsible Minister of Magic.

Of course, if that were all, we could only praise him for being responsible.

After all, Fudge was not Minister for Magic at the time.

It wasn't his fault.

However, yesterday, when he released Sirius, he also released Narcissa Malfoy, who was wrongly imprisoned in Azkaban. 】

Seeing this, Harry also felt like vomiting.

He cast a cleansing spell on his pillow.

翻到下一页。

At the top, was a picture of Sirius and Malfoy's mother.

Years in prison had left Sirius with hollow cheeks, lifeless eyes, and skin as white as wax.

But you can still see how handsome he is.

Malfoy's mother, perhaps because she had not been in prison for long, was still graceful, tall and charming.

Her eyes were slightly red, tears of joy? Because she was released from prison?

But Sirius seemed to be comforting Malfoy's mother.

The two of them supported each other.

At this moment, Ron let out a cry of surprise, then lowered his head in guilt and regret.

This woke Harry up from his absorbed concentration on the photo.

He looked down quickly.

[Anyone who has read the 678th issue of The Daily Prophet should know this.

Lucius Malfoy was sentenced to six months in prison for financial crimes.

Those who have children at Hogwarts or live in Hogsmeade village should know what happened in Hogwarts yesterday.

Acromantula, a Level (Known to kill wizards/Impossible to domesticate or tame) creature.

It loves to eat human flesh, is cruel by nature and is very dangerous.

Just one of them is very dangerous to a wizard.

And yesterday, when the first years were playing in the grounds outside the castle after their exams, a group of giant acromantulae attacked from the Forbidden Forest.

Fortunately, Hogwarts has good teaching staff and a secure environment.

Albus Dumbledore, who was called to the Ministry of Magic, sensed the danger and returned in time.

In the end, no little wizard was injured.

Dumbledore went deep into the Forbidden Forest and found the head of the "culprit" - Lucius Malfoy.

It had been in the Forbidden Forest for at least a month.

It is also the source of the curse that causes the eight-eyed giant spiders to attack the castle recklessly.

Dumbledore said: "This is a very vicious dark magic. It takes a wizard's life as a sacrifice and takes several months to establish the curse ritual."

I asked, “But what is this for?”

Dumbledore replied, "You remember that before school started, a dark wizard broke into Gringotts. The treasure that was targeted was later transferred to Hogwarts."

According to my research, the object is suspected to be the Philosopher's Stone, a treasure that can create countless gold and the elixir of life.

This dark wizard is suspected to be Quirinus Quirrell, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

He was also the one who killed Lucius Malfoy, cursed Narcissa Malfoy to be unable to speak and leak information, made her take Polyjuice Potion, and sent her to Azkaban. He also sent a large amount of Polyjuice Potion to the prison in the name of mailing alcohol.

】

What follows is a criticism of the prison system, asking why luxury items such as alcohol could be allowed into Azkaban.

Even though Lucius Malfoy was rich and powerful, he only spent 6 months in prison.

And then there's the flattery for Fudge.

It was so disgusting that Bagel didn't watch it.
