Hogwarts The Dark Arts Awakening

[The decline and fall of pure descendants of Slytherin!The truth that has been buried for half a century! 】

This was the front page headline of the Daily Prophet today. Jerry read it with interest and found that it was uncharacteristically anonymous.

However, judging from the familiar style and the privacy involved, there is no doubt that the person who concocted this article was Rita Skeeter.

[The ancient noble family was brutally arrested, the misbehavior of the blood traitors, Muggles are ultimately unreliable... the heinous parricide reverse species, the deceived Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore who knew nothing and refused to report, and special contributions with suspicious origins prize. 】

Jerry briefly summarized the main content of this report, and he felt as if he was running through a herd of alpacas in his heart.

Although when he deliberately leaked relevant information to Skeeter, who transformed into a beetle, he guessed that the other party would ignore the facts and process it maliciously, but now that he has seen the actual product with his own eyes, he still feels very naive.

Like other articles written by her in the past, when Rita Skeeter revealed the so-called 'truth', she mixed it with a lot of lies, and ended up with endless 'guessing and reasoning'.

This 'unnamed' Daily Prophet reporter started with the recent murder case at Gaunt's old house. He first highly praised the 'colleagues' who were responsible for following the report at the time, and then turned back to the past events of the Gaunt family. This started a series of random fabrications.

The first was a seemingly insignificant discussion - the century-old in-law relationship of the Gaunt family. The reporter claimed that he had asked all the pure-blood families in the English wizarding world about this matter, but had not received a positive answer.In other words, Gunter, who was admitted to Hogwarts not long ago, must have "impure blood".

Obviously, Skeeter resented what Jerry had done and tried every possible means to cause trouble for him.However, Jerry was not interested in getting himself a breed certificate.

What follows is the resumption of an old case. The author takes readers to revisit a past case from an alternative perspective - law enforcer Bob Ogden summoned the suspect Morfin Gaunt more than sixty years ago. , but eventually both Gunter and his son were arrested.

In Skeeter's writing, Ogden's rough style resembles that of a troll, and Gunter and his son are as helpless as lambs.Compared with the reality, the characters on both sides cannot be said to be completely irrelevant. It can only be said that they are simply reversed.

Jerry expressed that he really wanted to complain. A shameful experience in which a law enforcement officer was suddenly attacked, escaped in a panic, and managed to survive was turned into a show of violent law enforcement. This is really magical.

Then, Skeeter smoothly processed the story of Merope and Riddle.Judging from the choice of words, she is not aware of the hidden identities of her characters, nor does she bother to dig out the truth behind the story.

[After the Gunter and his son were brutally arrested, only a girl named Merope was left in this ancient and famous family to live alone at home.Readers can imagine how helpless she felt when she was alone. 】

[Unfortunately, the unfortunate Merope was targeted by a rich local Muggle.This man's name is Tom Riddle, and he has a very bad reputation among Muggles.He took advantage of the situation and shamelessly seduced the girl, only to ruthlessly abandon her after she became pregnant. 】

[Obviously, Muggles are ultimately unreliable.In this regard, we have too many examples to prove: For example, the American mahjong Tolomy Barbo who betrayed Dorcas Twelve Trees, his actions are still plaguing the North American magic world. 】

[After realizing that she had been deceived, Merop was too embarrassed to return to his hometown and face his family.So she gave birth to her unborn child alone, and then died in despair and misery. 】

[It is worth mentioning that her father Marvolo Gaunt passed away shortly after his release.We don’t know whether it was the rebellious daughter who had never been heard from or the poor son who was still imprisoned that brought down the old wizard. 】

[However, all rational wizards should see one truth from this, that is, we can no longer be confused by the superficial image of Muggles - betraying one's own bloodline and abandoning the glory of being a wizard will definitely not end well! 】

[Although Merope has paid the price for her momentary folly, the suffering of the Gaunt family is not over yet.Not only did she give birth to a baby boy before her death, she also stubbornly named the child after that irresponsible Muggle, thus planting a fatal curse on her family. 】

[The boy grew up in a Muggle orphanage and was admitted to Hogwarts at the age of 11.After the author's sneak investigation, it was the famous Albus Dumbledore who brought this reverse species into the magical world. 】

Here, Skeeter also swore to give real evidence - a moving magic photo: on the opened parchment page, rows of names were clearly written.

Among them, the one corresponding to Tom Marvolo Riddle is Albus Dumbledore. This is the contact list of the new students from non-magical families.

[During his school days, Tom Riddle performed extremely well. Not only did he achieve excellent results in various subjects, he also learned a lot of magic, including black magic. He was even named the male student president in seventh grade.It seems that he is one of the best students. 】

[But beneath Tom Riddle’s glamorous appearance, there is a ferocious and surly heart.What's even more unfortunate is that the name Merop left for him became a channel for him to vent his bloodthirsty impulses. 】

[Following the clue of the name, Tom Riddle returned to his parents’ hometown.Out of his filthy and cruel nature, he used the Avada Kedavra to kill his biological father, grandparents, and blamed the case on his uncle Morfin Gaunt, who died tragically in Azkaban. , is truly the greatest villain among villains. 】

Compared with the beginning, the middle part of this report is not bad.At least after throwing away the preset positional color and inflammatory embellishments, this article is not far from the sound version of the 'truth' disclosed by Jerry before.

It’s just that there are so many biased words such as ‘rebel’ and ‘blood traitor’ that it’s hard to skip them when reading.

However, the content that followed was still the same as before - Skeeter made a 'bold guess' as usual, as expected, and the scope was comparable to that of Melaleuca riding in a convertible. It was really a stretch of the imagination.

[Tom Riddle, who was cunning by nature, was fully prepared to frame the blame and successfully deceived the Aurors, but he still could not hide it from Dumbledore.In fact, the author's source has a close relationship with Dumbledore himself, who privately disclosed the details of the case to others not long ago...]

[What is puzzling is that Dumbledore did not make this matter public at that time, but instead allowed the pure-blooded descendant of Slytherin to die unjustly in Azkaban.Could it be that he was already old and confused by then? 】

[Reminiscent of the position that this big shot has always held, we may be able to draw another conclusion: remaining silent can not only ruin a pure-blood family that he doesn't like, but also preserve the lives of teachers, students, and mixed-blood wizards at Hogwarts. Image...]

[What is even more frightening is that Tom Marvolo Riddle received the 'Special Contribution to the School Award' very strangely, and Hogwarts did not give a detailed explanation.Could it be that...]

As with the previous Freshman Contact Form, Skeeter included a magical photo next to this paragraph—a golden medal lying alone in a display case with the name of the murderer inscribed on it, but no specific description listed next to it.

Going forward, there are even more bizarre speculations.

[According to the author's investigation, Tom Riddle, an insidious reverse species, inexplicably refused many decent jobs after graduating with excellent grades and went to work as a handyman in a shop in Knockturn Alley. 】

[What is this reverse species afraid of?To make such an abnormal choice!The author does not know his inner thoughts, but was surprised to find that he disappeared silently a few years later. Did he flee, or was he erased by someone? 】

At the end of the article, the anonymous reporter issued a call for pure-blood wizards, the essence of the wizarding world, to unite and beware of dangerous individuals like Tom Riddle.

Jerry was looking forward to this. He was curious, what would Voldemort think when he saw this report?

May Merlin bless Skeeter and don't let Voldemort think of dark magic other than 'gnawing a giant melon'.Otherwise, the scene will definitely be very exciting.
