Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Rita Skeeter has always been a very ambitious woman. She likes to dig out other people's secrets and never tires of doing so. She has been engaged in recording work for many years and has learned very well what kind of reports will most interest readers. Boring facts and truth are never given priority, and individualistic propaganda that praises virtues cannot remain the core of public opinion for a long time.

So she never praises how great Dumbledore is, because there are too many people who do this. No matter how beautifully she writes the article, it will only be one of the many articles praising him. . She would also not tell readers that there were actually no casualties in the farce of the Quidditch World Cup. Writing this would only make her report look more like the official data report of the Ministry of Magic.

She wants reports that can surprise people, that are unexpected, that are eye-catching enough, and that are topical enough.

At this moment, she has such a report in her hands that makes her very satisfied. When this idea came up, even she herself thought it was too crazy. If this report is really published, it will definitely be an explosion. News, whether it is ordinary wizarding families or officials from the Ministry of Magic, they will be frightened by this report.

But just such a report that she thought was perfect now made her feel very embarrassed. Yes, she really never cared about the truth in her articles, but that's because readers don't really care about these innocuous little exaggerations. But this time the situation is a little different. If this report is really published, people will go crazy to find out the authenticity of this matter. The Ministry of Magic may even send a special investigation team for this.

She cannot withstand such an investigation, not only because of some of the fabricated information in her article, but also because the publication of this article will offend some people she cannot afford to offend, and they are not people like Dumbledore. Fair and law-abiding people, it is not an exaggeration to call them desperadoes. Just at the Quidditch World Cup held this summer, they also made some crazy moves.

It was a pity for Rita Skeeter to give up this report like this. This report might even allow her to leave her name in the long river of history, but the consequences of publishing it were really unbearable for her. This dilemma gave Rita Skeeter a terrible headache.

The silly girl who provided herself with a small part of the material information came to urge me again. She eagerly hoped to see the article she wanted in the "Daily Prophet", and she foolishly thought that she just wrote it. An emotional story about little Harry! How naive.

This weekend is another day when students from Hogwarts can go to Hogsmeade Village. Rita Skeeter also came to Hogsmeade Village with her photographer. She never misses any possibility. The opportunity to discover news material, and her positive work attitude, unexpectedly helped her solve the problem that had been bothering her for many days.

"Make a price! I don't want to see anything about Nitya in any newspaper or magazine." A blond boy with an arrogant tone and a little taller than himself blocked Rita's way. He seemed to be Miss Field's boyfriend.

"Who is this handsome young master?" Rita Skeeter looked at Draco with a smile.

"Draco Malfoy!" Draco raised his head high. He thought that as long as Rita Skeeter had a little sense, she should know that offending the Malfoy family would not bring any good results to her.

"It turns out to be Master Malfoy." Rita Skeeter smiled even more happily. No wonder she asked herself to make a price as soon as she opened her mouth. Everyone knew how wealthy the Malfoy family was. "It stands to reason that Master Malfoy should give you this face if you speak. What a pity!... As a reporter, I have the responsibility to let everyone know the truth of the matter."

"Hmph! Responsibility! What do these two words have to do with you?" Draco mocked Rita disdainfully.

"Don't say that to Master Malfoy. I know that my reports will be embellished on some trivial matters, but on some major events, I don't dare to tell lies." Rita said, "Miss Field's report... is really serious, and I think the public has a right to know these things."

As she spoke, Rita took out a typewritten article from her crocodile handbag and handed it to Draco's hand. Draco was shocked after reading the article, and his hands even trembled slightly. In Rita's opinion, this was a sign of extreme anger.

"It's just nonsense. You dare to say that there is no lie in this kind of article. I think there is no half-truth." Draco was panicked. The content of this article was completely beyond his imagination. .

"I have found someone to verify all of these contents one by one!" Rita was very satisfied with Draco's reaction.

"Don't talk nonsense to me. I don't believe you so-called anonymous insiders. You just write this to attract attention!" Draco said angrily, "Don't beat around the bush with me and talk so much. It’s just that the price is too high, just say so!”

Rita smiled. After all, the other person was still a half-grown child. Once the person he liked was involved, he would lose his sense of proportion. Anyone with a little more sense would guess that he would not dare to report such an article easily. . "Now that Master Malfoy has said it so straightforwardly, I won't be coy about it, but as a reporter, what I need is not money, but valuable news materials."

"News material...what do you want to know?" Draco frowned. It would be easier for him to solve the problem directly with money, but the content of this report now made him dare not bargain.

"I think Master Malfoy knows Harry Potter!" Rita said proudly. No matter how good an article is, it loses its value if it cannot be published, but if it can be used in exchange for some other information, It can be regarded as making up for some of my regrets, "I want to know some unknown sides of little Harry, a different Harry Potter."

Draco was a little hesitant. He didn't care about the impact these reports would have on Potter, but he was worried about what Nydia would think if she knew that Potter's reports were all information provided by him.

"What? Does Master Malfoy feel embarrassed?" Rita asked.

"I promise you!" He couldn't care less, Draco just hoped that Nydia could understand his choice.

"Hehehehe!" Rita couldn't help laughing. She stretched out her right hand towards Draco, "I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Draco reluctantly shook hands with Rita, "I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise I won't let you go easily."

"Don't worry!" The joy in Rita's heart was indescribable.

After the initial cooperation was reached, the two left with their own thoughts. Not long after they left, Nydia walked out of a side alley. She looked at Draco's back in confusion. Nydia didn't know what Draco had talked about with Rita Skeeter. , but his expression didn't look too good when he came out just now. He should be heading back to school now.

Nydia then turned her attention to Rita Skeeter, who was walking in the other direction. Her expression looked much happier. Nydia didn't want to blindly question Draco without knowing anything, so she chose to follow Rita Skeeter to see what she wanted to do.
