Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Three desks stood next to each other in front of the blackboard, covered with a long piece of velvet.

Behind the velvet-covered desk, there were a few chairs, and Ivan saw that Fleur and Gabriel were already sitting there.

The two of them were whispering in French, and their long silver hair shone dazzlingly in the sun.

Cedric and Krum did not arrive. In front of the desk, Ludo Bagman was talking to a witch wearing a magenta robe.

"Ah, Ivan, you are here!" Seeing Ivan, Bagman quickly walked over, "I am very glad that your newspaper and the "Daily Prophet" accepted the Ministry of Magic's invitation to interview the Tournament. It's Rita Skeeter, do you know her?!"

Ivan shook his head, it turned out that this woman was Rita Skeeter!

Her hair was done up in delicate, stiff curls that looked oddly out of place with her big-jawed face.

She wore bejeweled glasses and her fat fingers clutched an alligator bag.

The nails were two inches long, painted red, and looked very strange, like some kind of animal's claws.

Chapter 565 Forced Interview

While Ivan was observing Rita Skeeter, the other party was also looking at him carefully.

"Come on, let me introduce you, this is Rita Skeeter, a well-known reporter, she has written many articles." Bagman said loudly, "Rita, this is Ivan Mason, you should have heard After his name, he is currently the most famous..."

"Of course I've heard of it, Ludo, who hasn't heard of Alvin Mason?!" Rita Skeeter said, staring at Alvin, "Hello, Alvin, I can talk to you Would you like to talk a few words and listen to your views on this competition."

"I think it's best not to!" Ivan shook his head and said without saying a word.

This woman is famous for distorting the facts and making up things, and he doesn't intend to give her a chance.

But Ivan obviously underestimated the thickness of Rita Skeeter's skin. Seeing Ivan shaking her head, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

It can be clearly seen that there are three gold teeth in her mouth.

She reached into her alligator purse and produced a long, bright green quill and a roll of parchment.

Then she spread the parchment over the velvet-covered desk.

I stuffed the tip of the green quill into my mouth and sucked it relished for a while.

Rita Skeeter held the pen vertically on the parchment, quivering slightly on the nib of the quill.

"This is a shorthand quill so I can have my hands free and talk to you normally, let me try it out!" Skeeter said, "My name is Rita Skeeter, reporter for the Daily Prophet! "

As soon as she finished speaking, the green quill began to write swiftly, and the tip of the pen slid across the parchment deftly.

It read: Charming blonde Rita Skeeter, 43, whose rebellious quill has exposed many a slick name…

"Excellent!" said Rita Skeeter, tearing off the first parchment, crumpling it up, and stuffing it into her handbag.

She turned around, as if preparing to ask Ai Wen a question.

Ivan ignored her. He had clearly rejected the other party just now, and took Colin to walk towards Furong and Gabriel.

"Evan, what made you not sign up for the Triwizard Tournament?" Rita Skeeter asked.

For Ivan's reaction, it was as if he hadn't seen it.

Why didn't Aiwen participate in the competition? !

Everyone knew that it was because he was not old enough, and he himself had no interest in the Tournament.

Rita Skeeter repeated it, and Colin quietly tugged Ivan.

"I said just now that I don't intend to accept your interview!" Ai Wen said coldly, turning around and looking at the other party.

Hearing his words, the atmosphere in the classroom was extremely awkward.

Ivan didn't say anything more, while Rita Skeeter looked at him with a smile, looking a little domineering, and Ludo Bagman, Colin, Fleur, and Gabriel all stared at the two of them.

After a while, it seemed that Ivan would not answer, but Rita Skeeter was not embarrassed at all.

"Honey, you don't want to accept my interview without saying a word, is it because you haven't become a warrior yourself?" Rita Skeeter said, her eyes still fixed on Ivan, "Are you I think I have been treated unfairly, as we all know, your magic strength is very strong, are the four warriors selected in this competition inferior to you in strength?!"

Ivan frowned. Although he didn't speak, he saw Rita Skeeter's green quill moving again.

Where the nib of the pen slides, it can be recognized: when he mentioned the shady scene of the competition and his unfair treatment, Ivan Mason's handsome and charming eyes were shining with firmness and tenacity, but he could still see that he forced the tear suffocated in the eye sockets...

Aiwen can be sure that he is not crying, and there is no firmness and tenacity in his eyes.

Judging from what Rita Skeeter meant, it seemed that if she didn't answer, she was tacitly acquiescing that there was a big shady scene in this competition.

If he defends, it will naturally give the other party more opportunities to spread rumors.

This is really hateful, this is the first time Aiwen has encountered a forced interview.

If he could, he really wanted to take out his wand and give him a hard lesson.

But obviously this can't be done. Aiwen is not some evil dark wizard who uses the killing curse on people when he disagrees.

The wisest choice now is not to continue talking about this topic.

"Ms. Skeeter, my identity today is the same as yours. I am a reporter here to interview the warriors. Therefore, I don't want my name to appear in this special report of the competition." Ivan said loudly, "Please put Cross out the unfounded speculation you wrote just now, otherwise, I will take the necessary action. I can guarantee that you will definitely regret it!"

After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath, ignored Rita Skeeter's face and the words written on her paper, and pulled Colin to go straight to Fleur and Gabriel.

Ai Wen didn't expect his threat to scare the other party. This woman was fearless and dared to say anything.

Even if Fudge and Dumbledore were here, she wouldn't be intimidated.

Facts will continue to be fabricated as long as it is profitable.

It is indeed a trouble for her to continue like this.

Simply, Ivan knew that the other party was an illegal Animagus.

It is definitely not good to say it directly, the other party will not admit it, but will startle the snake.

Aiwen now can only wait for the opportunity to catch Rita Skeeter, who was transformed into Hogwarts to spy on intelligence.

Rita Skeeter seemed to be frightened by Ivan's reaction just now, the quill also stopped and did not continue to write, Bagman hurried forward to smooth things over.

"Well done, Alvin!" Gabriel said to Alvin who had just walked beside her, "That woman is so annoying!"

"She's very rude. When the official from the Ministry of Magic introduced us just now, she didn't even shake hands with me!" Fu Rong then whispered, "The two of us were talking about this just now, and you helped me vent my anger. .”

Obviously, Rita Skeeter is not interested in Fleur, a little-known little wizard from France.

What she needs is big news that can attract the public's attention, the kind that can create a sensation.

If Fleur didn't meet this condition, Rita Skeeter would naturally not talk to her, not even basic etiquette.

"The "Daily Prophet" doesn't interview you, so are you willing to accept an exclusive interview with the "Hogwarts Magic News?" Ivan said.

He discussed it with Hermione in the morning. This report mainly focuses on the four warriors, introducing their basic situation and comparative analysis of their magic strength, etc., so that wizards outside of Hogwarts can also learn about the corresponding content in time. .

This incident itself is a big gimmick, and many people want to know the situation of the Warriors.

Even if it is not as good as Rita Skeeter's fabricated rumors, it can still attract the attention of many people.

Chapter 566 Veela's Lineage

"Of course my sister would!" Gabriel said excitedly.

"Okay, I accept your exclusive interview, we can go out and talk, that woman makes me feel very uncomfortable." Furong nodded.

Alvin, Fleur, Colin, and Gabriel left the classroom, ignoring Rita Skeeter behind them.

They didn't go far, but came to the Muggle Studies classroom around the corner.

This classroom is much larger than the classroom just now, but it is also very deserted, and there is no one in it.

In the classroom, all the desks and chairs are arranged exactly the same as in the Muggle school, all of which are unique.

Not even a mural can be seen on the wall, but there are many colorful pictures introducing Muggle characters and landscapes.

At the back of the classroom is a huge bookshelf, densely filled with various books of Muggles.

Ivan knew that there was actually a secret passage behind this bookshelf, which could lead to the prefect's bathroom on the sixth floor.

The way to enter the secret passage is to put several gilded books with big letters together in alphabetical order of "prefect".

The classroom is perfect for interviews, and usually nobody comes in except for class.

Although Aiwen was already very familiar with Fleur and Gabriel, he asked a lot of detailed questions according to his previous outline.

Colin is responsible for taking photos of Fleur, and they need special close-up photos of the warriors to be published in the newspaper.

I have to say that as long as Furong is willing, she and everyone can get along very happily.

Probably because everyone is familiar with each other, she didn't mention Hogwarts's cold and dark decoration, over-smelling food and other disappointing topics, but cooperated very well, and had a few conversations with Ivan and Colin from time to time. joke.

About ten minutes later, the door of the classroom was opened, and Dumbledore stood outside the door.

"Obviously you are here, I have to disturb the four of you, the wand detection ceremony is about to begin, Miss Dracole must go!" Dumbledore said gently.

"No problem, Professor, we're done here too!"

Several people filed out, Ivan packed up his things, and Gabriel walked at the end.

"My sister just told me that you are the first to inquire about a girl's information in this way!" Gabriel suddenly whispered, she looked at Ivan with a smile, her eyes bent into a cute crescent, "She Make me watch out for you!"

Aiwen was speechless. It turned out that the two sisters had just talked about this in French.

Also, what does it mean to be vigilant? !

Although the questions he asked were more detailed, they were all needed for reporting.

Dumbledore did not go directly back to the small classroom just now, but stopped in front of a broom closet.

Just when everyone was wondering what he was going to do, Dumbledore opened the door and walked in.

Rita Skeeter and Harry were inside, and Harry looked a little emotional.

It seems that during the time Ivan and the others left, Harry, Ron, and Hermione also came over.

Unsurprisingly, Rita Skeeter once again interviewed Harry, even though he wasn't a warrior.

"Dumbledore!" Rita Skeeter exclaimed, beaming.

She stuffed the quill and parchment into her crocodile handbag as fast as she could, and fastened the buckle.

"How are you?" she said, walking out of the broom, and stretched out a big manly hand to Dumbledore, "I wonder if you read my summer article on the International Federation of Wizards Conference?"

"Brilliant!" said Dumbledore, his eyes glowing. "I especially loved the part where you described me as a petrified old madman."

Rita Skeeter didn't show any shyness at all, and continued, "I just want to say that some of your views are a bit outdated, Dumbledore, many wizards out there..."

"I'd love to hear your frank reasoning, Rita!" said Dumbledore, "but I'm afraid we'll have to talk about that later. The wand-testing ceremony is about to begin, and I don't think you should miss it."

The group returned to the room. Except for Fleur, the other warriors were already seated. Professor Karkaroff, Mrs. Maxim, Mr. Crouch, and Ludo Bagman were also sitting in their chairs.

Ivan, Harry, Colin, and Gabriel sat down beside Hermione, and Rita Skeeter sat in another corner.

She took the roll of parchment from her purse, laid it on her lap, smacked the tip of her shorthand quill, and set the pen upright on the parchment again.

"What were you guys doing just now?" Hermione asked in a low voice.

"Colin and I went to conduct an exclusive interview with Fleur, and Harry should have been called by Rita Skeeter for an interview," Ivan said.

"Don't mention it, that woman is terrible, you didn't see, what is she writing!" Harry sighed, looking a little excited, "Want to hear my opinion on the Tournament, but she didn't Don't write as I tell you."

"You should have known, she likes to spread rumors." Hermione said sharply, also taking out her quill, "Remember the report on the Quidditch World Cup, the one about Mr. Weasley, what ever Rumors of piles of dead bodies in the ruins..."

Hearing her reminder, Harry also thought of it.

If I had known earlier, he should have rejected the other party's interview request just now.

Ivan looked at Rita Skeeter, this guy can really add to the chaos, and it must be resolved as soon as possible.

As if sensing Ivan's gaze, Rita Skeeter raised her head and gave him an ugly smile.

The green quill kept writing, and no one in the classroom spoke yet.

"Warriors, please allow me to introduce Mr. Ollivander to you." Dumbledore sat down on the referee's bench and said to the four warriors, "He is going to check your wands to make sure they are in good condition before the match. "

Only then did Ivan see an old wizard with two big light-colored eyes standing quietly by the window.

It was Mr. Ollivander, and he looked as peculiar as ever.

"Miss Delacour, you come first, will you?" said M. Ollivander, walking to the open space in the center of the room.

Fleur nodded, walked lightly to Mr. Ollivander, and handed him her wand.

Ollivander twirled the wand between his slender fingers like a baton, sending out many pink and gold sparks.
