New Hogwarts Professor

Xia Ran stood up and followed the crowd slowly down the stand, chatting casually with several professors around her.

Several warriors were taken to the temporary medical tent, were briefly bandaged, and then came out one after another and arrived at the center of the field. By this time, all scoring had been completed.

"You all did a great job!"

Ludo Bagman spoke in a loud voice with a face of joy, as if he had just passed the test of an adult fire dragon three times in a row.

"Okay, I still have a few words to say. First of all, the second project will start at : am on February th next year. Before that, you can rest for a long time, but we will stay. I have some questions for you.”

"If you look down at those golden eggs you're holding in your hands, you'll see that they can actually open...see the seam there? You must unravel the clues within the eggs that will tell you about the second project. , you can be fully prepared for everything! Is everything clear? Is it okay? Okay, you can go and attend the celebration banquet."

"Congratulations to Cedric." Xia Ran patted Cedric on the shoulder. The young man grinned and looked very happy. A circle of Hufflepuff students surrounded him, looking happier than even Cedric.

Professor Sprout was also smiling all over the crowd, and many girls from other colleges congratulated Cedric.

After Harry, Ron, and Hermione congratulated Cedric for getting out of the crowd, they were caught by a woman.

, Rita Skeeter was wearing a bright green robe today, and the shorthand pen in her hand matched the color of the robe.

"Hello Harry." Rita Skeeter greeted, looking at Harry with a smile. "I wonder if you could say a word to me? Your schoolmate became a warrior and successfully won the How do you feel about the Golden Egg now? Do you think the referee's score is fair? Don't worry about speaking out!"

"Okay, I can have a word with you." Harry said angrily, "Goodbye!"

After saying that, he, Ron and Hermione walked towards the castle together.

"Don't leave in a hurry, Harry." Rita Skeeter stopped the three of them and asked with a smile on her face, "Do you think you are jealous of Cedric? You feel like he has taken away your share. Glory? Him, a despicable thief? A thief?"

The three of them were immediately very angry.

Xia Ran and his group happened to hear these words when they were passing by and returning to the castle. They stopped and said, "Rita, you have to pay attention to your pen."

The three Harrys discovered that Rita Skeeter had put the shorthand pen back into her purse at some point, and said unmoved: "What's the matter, Xia Ran? What news do you want to tell me? About Dumbledore." Profitable? He is a treasure trove of news!"

She looked at Xia Ran with burning eyes.

"What do you want so much news for?" Xia Ran rolled her eyes and said, "Anyway, you can't publish it in the Daily Prophet. Even if you work so hard, it's all in vain."

Rita Skeeter's face seemed to slump.

It is true that Fudge of the Ministry of Magic is fully controlling public opinion. Any publication in the Daily Prophet must be reviewed by Fudge's close officials in the Ministry of Magic in advance to confirm that there are no hidden dangers or information that should not be published before it can be published on a large scale. There are letters sent to all parts of the wizarding world via owl post.

She has collected a lot of news materials, but there are only a few that can pass the review and be used.

"Don't just sit around when you leave." Xia Ran said lazily, urging several students to return to the school castle quickly.

At this time, Rita Skeeter seemed to be interested in Hagrid and asked: "Rubeus Hagrid is a gamekeeper and a professor of Care of Magical Creatures?"

"What's wrong?" Hagrid asked doubtfully.

"Are you time?" The cunning light in Rita Skeeter's eyes flashed. "I mean, are you willing to accept an exclusive interview from me? If you can allow me to be by the side next time you have class, There’s nothing better than sitting in.”

"What?!" Hagrid looked very happy and agreed, "Of course you are welcome! Very few people come to interview me and people are not that interested in magical creatures."

"Oh, they won't appreciate that." Rita Skeeter's tone did not contain much curiosity.

"Well, I have class tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning. There is a Forbidden Forest on the edge of the square. If you are really interested..." Hagrid said.

"I will arrive on time." Rita Skeeter waved goodbye to a group of people. "See you tomorrow Hagrid. See you later Xia Ran."

Hagrid had a silly smile on his face, patted the wrinkles on his clothes, and frowned: "I have to wear good clothes tomorrow and be in the newspaper? Hey, I have never dared to think about it like this."

He couldn't help but giggle again.

"Hagrid is careful that some writers with Rita will not report truthfully." Xia Ran warned.

"Yes, I understand." Hagrid nodded casually and walked directly to his hut, obviously not taking Xia Ran's warning to heart.

Xia Ran shook her head helplessly, thinking that this was not a big deal and she no longer put too much energy into it.

……

After the first round, there were newspapers the next day. No matter which newspaper had the "Daily Prophet" or "The Quibbler" or some other small newspaper, they all reported on this Triwizard Tournament. After all, , the first Triwizard Tournament in more than a century!

"Surprise! An adult fire dragon appears in the Triwizard Tournament!"

"Exploration and thinking about adult fire dragons and fire dragon eggs!"

The latter report is, of course, in "The Quibbler," for which Mr. Lovegood is said to have written to Charlie asking for some information.

However, these news did not seem to be timely for long. Within two days, many news appeared, covering up the original information about the Triwizard Tournament. One of them was about Hagrid.

"Rubber Hagrid is a half-giant and his mother abandoned her husband and son when he was a child. This makes Hagrid very sad - according to exclusive news from this newspaper, Hagrid is a half-giant. Because of this, he is very fond of Harry Potter." He was very caring because Hagrid seemed to think that Harry Potter, a child in a miserable situation, had added many points to Gryffindor for no reason, which made the students in the other three houses angry, but they dared not speak out. ——Hagrid is very smug, arrogant, and very fond of using force..."

Hermione read and said sadly: "Oh, is there anything like this that can discredit Hagrid?"

"Who wrote the article?" Ron asked.

"Let me see...Rita Skeeter." Hermione rummaged through the article's byline.

"It's no wonder she's wrong." Ron nodded clearly and said, "Then, Hagrid should not have agreed to let her come to the Care of Magical Creatures class in the first place. .”

"Hagrid is here." Harry suddenly saw a tall figure walking into the great hall and raising his hand to say hello.

Hagrid walked to his seat with a dull expression as if he hadn't seen him before, and ate his breakfast in silence without saying a word.

"Poor Hagrid," Professor Flitwick sighed.

"Professor Flitwick, could you please give me a newspaper to read." Xia Ran said and took the "Daily Prophet" handed over by Professor Flitwick.
