All things are three at Hogwarts

In the main hall of the Ministry of Magic, the dark wooden floor was polished to a shine, and the peacock blue ceiling was inlaid with sparkling golden symbols. The lobby and reception area were crowded with people.

The wizard reporters gathered around the Magic Brothers Fountain with their long guns and short cannons, and waited for the elevator on the other side. Some armed Aurors separated them and left a passage, blocking them outside the passage. Magic The new director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, John Bartha, was assigned to be in charge of the reception. He stood tiredly and helplessly at the door and said: "Gentlemen and ladies, be quiet... don't crowd... pay attention to safety."

Suddenly the crowd burst into applause and cheers. The Auror quickly turned around and found Alan Harris, the new savior who was currently in the limelight in the wizarding world, walking out of the elevator with Hermione Granger and Penelope Clivet.

The Auror immediately heightened his vigilance and straightened his waist and abdomen.

A short, grumpy man was holding a large black camera and jumping around taking pictures. Every time the flash flashed blindingly, streams of purple smoke came out of the camera. Not just him, all the reporters pressed the shutters frantically, and thick smoke floated in the air.

Hermione Granger, who was dressed as a Hogwarts student, and Penelope Cleaver, who was wearing an Auror uniform, were half a step behind Allen. Allen did not change back to the modern style after returning to the modern world, just like Voldemort and Dundee. Just like Blido, he had been wearing the ancient-style wizard robe and waved to the media reporters who were excited about their appearance.

The reporters asked all kinds of questions in a hurry. They crowded and shouted, hoping that their questions would be accepted by Allen. Among them, Allen responded to the questions about what happened behind the curtain by saying that he couldn't see clearly. It wasn't until two sharp questions were asked by a reporter from a foreign newspaper that the noisy scene became quiet, but everyone was prepared. After recording Allen's answer, they waited for Allen's answer.

"Mr. Alan Harris, what do you think of the recent rumors that you were not the only one to defeat the mysterious man?" The reporter who asked the question turned red with excitement. His hand holding the microphone trembled slightly, but his waist straightened even more. To be honest, he feels that he is shouldering a great mission as a media person, not afraid of power, and courageous in pursuing the truth.

Allen didn't lose his composure at all. He looked at the logo on his microphone and the ID hanging on his chest, and politely replied: "Thank you for your question, Correspondent Boot from the New York Specter."

Allen mentioned that the name of their newspaper was like a bucket of ice water poured over the head of a reporter who was in a state of fanatical justice. He kept telling himself that there was no point in retreating at this point. Anyway, their headquarters were in the United States and the United Kingdom. We can't control them, and this is also for the sake of the ethics of media people.

"I have also heard recent rumors about this kind of news, which has once again created panic in the minds of many people. Who is benefited by this panic? I think everyone here knows it well, so I feel that instead of being here and You are trying to argue the truth at that time, why not let me tell others the answer with practical actions. I hereby invite the mysterious man, the mixed-blood wizard Tom Riddle, and welcome Mr. Riddle to come back at any time to have a one-on-one life-or-death duel with me. . Everyone is welcome to come to the duel site for interviews. If Mr. Riddle doesn't mind, Harris TV will broadcast the duel live. I think this is the best way to prove the truth of the matter, isn't it?" At this moment Allen acted like a star who had been slandered by malicious rumors. He was quite helpless about these rumors, and made this invitation as if he was really trying to make others feel at ease like a savior. Then Allen He smiled gently at the reporter who asked the question, "So I would like all the reporters here to help me publish this duel invitation to Mr. Riddle. If anyone can contact him, please help me inform him." If he is willing, just write a letter to the Ministry of Magic so that we can confirm the time and place, thank you!"

After a brief silence, the surrounding media reporters were in an uproar. Allen's confidence and the plan he gave, as well as the initial hint, made everyone present be infected by his confidence. In addition, the mysterious man who advocates pure blood rarely The known mixed-race identity was emphasized once by Allen in an understatement, which made those rumors seem like just another vicious rogue conspiracy of the mysterious man.

The American reporter Butt was comforted by Allen's smile. He felt full of strength and thought that his questions helped the savior present the facts. He was now infected by Allen's confidence and his thoughts were brought into Allen's thoughts. The misunderstanding he was asked to enter: "Thank you, Mr. Alan Harris, I understand. This must be a conspiracy of the mysterious man. He is trying to distort the facts to make people think that he still has great power!"

"Mr. Reporter, this is just a possibility. I think judging from your words and deeds that are not afraid of power, you must also be a good reporter who has the courage to pursue the truth, so I think we should not make assumptions without evidence." It is unfair to Mr. Riddle to write a definite judgment in the newspaper, no matter how likely it seems, so I hope that when you report it, you will only report this speculation at most, and don't deliberately report it. Discredit Mr. Riddle..."

"Well! Mr. Alan Harris, I swear on the honor of my Thunderbird Academy at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I promise I will do this!" Butt felt that he was filled with a sense of mission as a reporter. , he was flooded with thoughts and could not wait to return to his office immediately to start creating news content.

"Mr. Alan Harris, first of all, I have to congratulate you. You are definitely the winner of our magazine's selection this year. In addition, I would like to ask about Miss Luna Lovegood, who is your friend. There are rumors about her true identity. It turns out to be Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Hogwarts. Can you tell us?" Amid the commotion, a female reporter from Wizards Weekly, a magazine popular with witches, hurriedly asked another question. A piece of news spreading hotly in the dark.

Wizarding Weekly is a magazine that contains articles, divination quizzes, advice columns, recipes, etc., and also reports a lot of celebrity news. It also selected Gilderoy Lockhart's five Most Charming Smile Awards. , Allen has always been considered by Wizarding Weekly to be temporarily unsuitable for nomination due to his young age, but after the Ministry of Magic War, it is obvious that Wizarding Weekly has realized its short-sightedness.

However, when Allen heard this question, he just shrugged and smiled helplessly, and did not answer the question directly. Moreover, at this time, he learned that he would get the same liar as Gilderoy Lockhart, who was more repulsive to him. The award is not good news for Allen now.

"Idiot! How can a gossip magazine like you bother Mr. Allen Harris with such a question!" Butt, the New York Ghost reporter who was later praised by Allen, now looks like Allen's fanboy Looking at Allen's appearance, he misunderstood that the other party was helpless by this imbecile problem, so he immediately refuted the female reporter from Wizard Weekly.

Some experienced reporters, seeing that they might not be able to get anything out of Allen, focused their attention on Hermione and Penello behind him, trying to dig out some news from these two people, especially those who were wearing hoodies. Hermione was in Gwarts School uniform, and many reporters had already moved towards her.

"Miss Hermione Granger, Miss Penelope Cleaver, given that Mr. Alan Harris and the Animagus forms of you two are magical creatures, and from the previous several people who have successfully registered or registered Anima Judging from the relationship between the wizard who transformed Gus and the Harris family, can we understand that you have successfully developed a new method to improve the success rate of Animagus' transformation? You must know that for a century, in Ai Before Mr. Len Harris, excluding existences like Mr. Sirius Black, there were only seven registered Animagus in the world." The anxious reporters asked in a hurry, their microphones stretched out. Being too close, Peneno raised his eyebrows and glanced over coldly. The reporter who almost put the microphone to Penello's mouth was startled and retracted his hand in a dignified manner.

But obviously other reporters did not give up because of this. A wizard dressed as an old scholar of modern transfiguration and wearing thick-soled glasses asked in an almost self-centered tone: "According to my investigation, during the Goblet of Fire period, there happened to be a man with the head of a lion and the body of a lion. The Manticore appeared in the UK and was later killed by members of the Committee to Dispose of Dangerous Creatures under Ms. Josephine Harris, Director of the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures, Mr. Alan Harris's aunt. There were also demon-hunting spiders from the bottomless abyss. It was obtained by Mr. Alan Harris during the competition, and the Animagus forms registered by Miss Hermione Granger and Miss Penelope Clewate today happen to be the manticore and the demon-hunting spider. Characteristics, is there any connection between them?"

"Yes, I have mastered a new method." Allen admitted directly and neatly from the side.

This simple sentence caused an uproar. Although reporters had probably speculated on this outcome before, such a straightforward admission was still unexpected.

"Merlin's trousers! Those old academics should have awarded you the Today's Most Promising Newcomer Award for Transfiguration! Instead of waiting for your O.W.LS and N.E.W.T Transfiguration class results to come out! Mr. Alan Harris, Please be sure to publish your new paper on the Animagus transformation method in our magazine!" The old reporter sighed and accepted the invitation as a matter of course.

"I have no plans to announce it to the public now." Allen shook his head and clearly refused. Minerva McGonagall won this award after completing her studies in 1954 because of her impressive transformation ability and achievements, so Even if Allen wants this award, he only has to wait until his n.e.w.t results are also excellent, which is almost enough.

"Thank you, we...huh? What did you say...why?" The old scholar obviously did not expect the other party to respond like this. In fact, Transfiguration Today is an academic journal focusing on the latest developments in the field of transfiguration. This journal will publish not only some academic articles, but also some papers by outstanding and knowledgeable scholars in this field. This old scholar usually serves more as the chief reviewer of papers rather than a front-line reporter who is good at interviewing and debating. If It wasn't because there were two Animagus registering magical creatures today, and he wouldn't have run out in person.

"Why not announce it? Aren't you the savior? If other wizards also learned this ability, wouldn't it be more possible to protect themselves?" A reporter who was supported by a pure-blood family thought of the buck-toothed patriarch's treatment of him. Account and Jin Gallon, seize the opportunity to incite.

"Then if it is made public, wouldn't it also make it possible for dark wizards to learn and be more likely to harm people and successfully hide?!" Hermione was a little angry, and she directly seized the loopholes in the other party's logic and refuted it.

The reporter did not debate the above topic anymore. He was good at fanning the flames and opened up a new battlefield. He also decided to go too far in order to arouse others' suspicion of Allen: "There are rumors that his current skin The hair and hair should be caused by negative energy erosion caused by excessive use of the necromancy faction in black magic, not because of entering the curtain... Why would the heir of the white wizard be so selfish? If he really entered the curtain, he would not be able to see anything. , why did you change your robe again, that belt is made of devil’s skull, maybe it’s really a dark wizard.”

Seeing Allen being ridiculed, Penello suppressed the idea of ​​killing him directly. He glanced angrily at the reporter and remembered his appearance: "According to your logic, I will go to your house and kill you later." All property will be distributed equally to the poor.”

Although he was a little scared to be stared at by the female Auror, the reporter obviously knew that the other party would not take action now at least, "Look! This is not the way of a dark wizard!"

The scene was chaotic for a while, but after more than ten seconds, the reporters' discussion was interrupted by loud applause.

Allen took back the hands he had just applauded and put them behind his back: "That's a good inference, but I'm only going to correct one mistake you made."

"Then tell me, what mistake did I make?" the reporter responded forcefully. In fact, he had already made up his mind to flee abroad after leaving the Ministry of Magic. Anyway, he had spent all his gold and Gallon before coming. Put it on your body.

A strong, four-legged dragon with five dragon heads and a bipedal wyvern-like tail appeared in the noisy interview scene. It was a bit exaggerated in size and appeared from Allen's hand, patting itself majestically. Their huge wings began to fly around the Magic Brothers Fountain, a group of solid gold statues composed of witches and wizards, centaurs, goblins and house elves erected behind them.

Everyone present was infected by the protective power contained in it. Hermione and Penello were very confused about the change in the form of Allen's patron saint, but in this case it was hard to ask too many questions.

The power of the patron saint has nothing to do with its size, but the positive energy contained in Allen's five-headed dragon allows even a wizard with a dull sense of magic to easily judge that the power of Allen's new patron saint is undoubtedly the same as its size. This image matches well.

"Mother Merlin!" A mixed-race wizard shouted a mixed-style exclamation: "This is bigger than the patron saint summoned by the invincible Andros, the ancient Greek wizard on the chocolate frog card! And just like him in the legend, he was summoned without a wand!"

Bute's eyes were shining as he greeted his cameraman to take a picture of this spectacle. Hearing the mixed-race admiration, he couldn't help but add: "It is said that the one summoned by the invincible Andros is only as big as a giant. This It has made him unique in previous history, and what Mr. Alan Harris summons now is as big as a fire dragon! Dark wizards cannot summon such a powerful patron saint! They can only summon magic maggot handles using the patron saint spell. Devour yourself!"

As the patronus curse dissipated, silence returned to the scene.

"I am not a dark wizard, but I have never admitted that I am a white wizard or the heir of a white wizard." Allen stood behind the microphone and shook his head, pretending to be helpless and looking at the reporter who was still a little stunned, as if he was thinking about it. He expressed regret for his mistake: "So I am not Dumbledore, and I will not turn a blind eye to your unfounded accusations, Auror!"

All the Aurors present responded in unison: "Yes!"

The reporter realized that something was wrong, but due to the situation, he could only use the excuse, "What do you want to do?! The reporters are watching! Do you dare to mess around? Do you really think that the Harris family can dominate the Ministry of Magic?!" "

"You're right. The Ministry of Magic is just the Ministry of Magic. Harris has never violated the law or misused his private power..." Allen did not pay any more attention to the other party, but turned sideways and saluted Penello exaggeratedly. "Miss Auror."

Penello also responded in a pretentious manner: "Sir, may I ask?"

Allen said solemnly: "This gentleman just tried to slander me with rumors without evidence. I am here to report the case to you."

"Understood, sir, we will investigate clearly. Please rest assured that if this is the case, we Aurors will definitely return your innocence." Penello nodded, saluted Allen solemnly, and then turned to look at the other Aurors. Luo, "Did you hear that?! Why don't you ask this reporter to go back and assist us in our investigation?"

"You... you can't! Ouch!" The reporter was stopped by the Aurors as soon as he opened his mouth. He didn't expect that Allen would go through the normal report form in such a childish way and immediately arrest him.

Then Allen waved his hand and pulled it. The reporter's wallet with a traceless telescopic spell hidden on his body was pulled open by Allen with the hand of a mage. His gold Galleons fell to the ground, which made the reporters around him immediately pull it away. The camera is pointed here.

"Why did you bring so much money for the interview?! Who paid you to throw dirty water on Mr. Harris?" Butt was the first to ask the question before the media reporters belonging to the Harris faction. He originally had a change of attitude towards Allen. He was a little confused, but with the emergence of Allen's Patronus Charm and this abnormal situation, due to the reporter's sensitivity and hearing about such things, he immediately figured out the reason why this person had a bad attitude from the beginning. Clear as day.

"Yes, those rumors were spread by people like them, right? Are they spies of the mysterious man?!" This time it was the naysayer's reporter's turn to take the lead.

"Perhaps it's the family that supports the mysterious man. They can't escape the blame this time by saying that someone used the Imperius Curse!" a reporter from Harris TV also added.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Reporter, I accidentally knocked your wallet off when I was practicing magic. Aurors, please help him pick it up." Allen, who had figured out the other person's thoughts, retracted his right hand. , and then added to the reporters who were surrounded by silence, "But Miss Crevat, obviously as a reporter, I personally think it is very suspicious to bring so many gold galleons during an interview. I suggest that the Aurors check this person carefully." Journalist, is it true that, as other journalist friends have speculated, he was bribed by Mr. Riddle or some other family with bad intentions to make these remarks?"
