Hogwarts The Dark Arts Awakening

058 Snake’s Counterattack

Of course, a newspaper cannot publish only one report. This is the "Daily Prophet" that is open to the public and has a large staff. It is not a special show of Rita Skeeter.

However, other reports that followed were very similar in style.Jerry frowned and read through them. The general content is as follows:

[Investigators who want cards], [Confiscate the front leg and resell the back leg], ['Making a fuss out of a molehill' or 'taking advantage of the opportunity to make money'], [Disrupted business order], [Carnival of anti-ancient magic enthusiasts]...

Obviously, these reports are related to the recent raids on black magic items, and they are basically negative.

'Is the Daily Prophet going to transform into a specialized political commentary? Jerry shook his head. He himself would not believe such an unreliable conclusion.

After all, it’s hard for a big ship to turn around, and there has been no news about business difficulties or boss changes in the Prophet newspaper recently.

Since we can rule out the possibility that the newspaper was not prepared enough after a hasty transformation and had to focus on one topic, then the remaining answer is probably the truth of the matter - someone is organizing a public opinion offensive against the censorship operation.

The identities of these people behind the scenes are not difficult to guess. Most of them are the pure-blood wizard families of the Snake Sect that have been tortured by investigators recently.Transferring and handling black magic props is not an easy and pleasant task, not to mention the various additional financial losses.

'But, there's a problem. Jerry calmly read the newspaper again, "Why is the attitude of the Daily Prophet so explicit?"It was like jumping out of the arena naked. '

Although the current integrity of the Prophet newspaper is indeed hard to look at directly, and Rita Skeeter and others are getting along like a fish in water, but the current momentum is obviously too much.

It is true that pure-blood wizards can rely on money and connections to win over newspapers and incite public opinion, but it is obviously very unreasonable for newspapers to criticize the Ministry of Magic in such a lengthy scroll.

As far as the wizarding world in England is concerned, although the Ministry of Magic is not a strong political power, it has not been reduced to the level of a rubber stamp. It still has some control and guidance over the public opinion circle - due to the high influence and integrity of the "Daily Prophet" The lower limit is low enough that the Ministry of Magic often uses this newspaper as its advocate.

In other words, the Daily Prophet may occasionally criticize certain employees of the Ministry of Magic, but it is basically unlikely to oppose the Ministry of Magic in a big way.

'Unless this objection is exactly what the Ministry bureaucrats need. 'Jerry felt he had found the answer, and the motives of the parties involved were readily available.

Needless to say, the pure-blood family of the Snake Faction suffered losses during the raid, and the Ministry of Magic, which was responsible for executing the matter, also had reasons to remain passive.

The current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, is not a person who can take matters into his own hands. Whether in the original book or now, he tends to whitewash the peace when faced with emergencies.This dark magic item seizure operation was also the product of pressure from Dumbledore's side after the huge murder in Gunter's old house.

Since Fudge, as the Minister, is not willing to carry out censorship activities, naturally other people in the Ministry of Magic will not pay attention to the guidance of public opinion.It is further speculated that they may even deliberately indulge in chaos during the operation and promote public opinion rebound, thereby forcing the operation to be suspended.

On the other hand, Dumbledore might be able to prevent the matter from ending without any problem, but the old headmaster still needs to deal with Voldemort, who covets the Sorcerer's Stone, and probably has no time to intervene.

'So, this censorship operation with loud noises and small raindrops is about to end, right? 'Jerry made a judgment silently in his heart, but he wasn't too disappointed.

Not to mention that he himself was not involved in this large-scale raid. The mere fact that Knockturn Alley, which exists as a black market, continues to operate, shows that the actual effect of this operation is probably quite limited.

However, Jerry is more concerned about the aftermath. All parties that were originally distracted by the raid will soon be freed up.This will surely bring about new changes.

Judging from the recent public opinion atmosphere in Slytherin House, the pure-blood family of the Snake Sect has accumulated considerable dissatisfaction. Many students' homes have been searched by investigators. Naturally, it is impossible to have a good opinion about this.

Although it is not to the point where the students miss the mysterious man in public and oppose the Ministry of Magic, the thoughts of their family members may not be optimistic.

'Will there be pure-blood wizards who get angry and run to find Voldemort and rebuild the good era of dark wizards? 'Jerry is not sure. Fortunately, Voldemort is currently 'teaching' at Hogwarts, so he can observe closely.

The Ministry of Magic, after suspending the operation, is probably going to return to the normalcy of the past few years - not seeking merit, but seeking no faults, so there is no need to worry about it.

After thinking about this clearly, Jerry folded the newspaper in his hand twice and stuffed it into his handbag, then turned and left the auditorium.

It was time to go to the principal's office again and find an answer to the question of becoming a disciple of Nico Flamel.
