Head of Teaching at Hogwarts

Chapter 61 Rita Skeeter’s report

The next morning, in the Gryffindor common room.

When Ron and Harry came out of the dormitory while joking, they were surprised to see Hermione not reading those strange Muggle books, but staring at a newspaper with great concentration.

As soon as the two people walked over, they saw Hermione slap the newspaper on the table with a "snap".

"What a shame!" the little girl said angrily with her eyebrows furrowed.

Ron and Harry stopped joking and looked at each other quickly, and Ron asked, "What's going on, Hermione?"

"Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter...this woman is so shameless! She actually dared to slander Principal Russell..." Hermione said through gritted teeth, as if Enraged lioness!

Harry took the newspaper, and Ron leaned over and looked at the newspaper together.

This is today's "Daily Prophet". The accompanying picture is a photo of a little wizard holding a wand and grinning. Next to him are several little wizards lying on the ground. Behind him is the phantom of Russell, revealing A sinister smile.

The headline on the front page read - "The conspiracy of Hogwarts' new headmaster who is training young wizards to kill each other for fun"

Harry and Ron instinctively felt something was wrong and quickly read -

"Daily Prophet chief reporter Rita Skeeter reported that as we all know, Carl Russell, a young wizard, recently replaced Dumbledore and became the new headmaster of Hogwarts. We will not discuss this first. Whether the process is ethical and legal can only be discussed from some of the measures he took after taking office.

The author received letters from some parents during the Christmas vacation, saying that ever since Carl Russell became the Headmaster of Hogwarts, he has been promoting a very terrible thing - training these young wizards to kill each other. , it is more important to call these actions harmless or even beneficial.

Mrs. Kemp from Yorkshire wrote to the author: My child has lost interest in everything since he came back.

Whether he was having dinner with his family or opening Christmas presents, he was thinking about a game called Wizards Unite for Glory and kept imitating the dangerous moves in it, pretending to use spells on everyone, even when I asked him not to. , and he also contradicted me.

The author found this parent for an interview with indignation, and also interviewed many other parents. I can guarantee that the truth is even scarier than what this woman said in her letter.

The point is not only that Principal Russell ordered these little wizards to use this spell to attack each other, but more importantly, he also packaged this matter into a game.

The author learned that many young wizards seem to have become addicted to this game called "Wizards Union Glory", and even several professors have been affected.

Young wizards are the future of the wizarding world. If this phenomenon continues at Hogwarts, it is not difficult to imagine that the future Hogwarts will be full of magical attacks among various students.

And when these little wizards graduate, such terrorist attacks will spread to the entire magical world. If things go on like this, the magical world will definitely fall into terrifying turmoil, even more terrifying than the one 12 years ago!

What kind of thoughts does Carl Russell hide?How did his game called "Glory of Wizards League" make young wizards addicted?

For more related content, please stay tuned for Rita Skeeter's follow-up reports. I will collect more information to reveal a more realistic image of Carl Russell for everyone.

"How dare she!" Harry crumpled the newspaper into a ball angrily, "This is a complete lie. We all know how much progress the Wizards Union's glory has made us!"

"You can't believe a word of this woman's words!" Ron said with great certainty: "My father has told me many times that this woman can only lie!"

"So most wizards already know her liar nature?" Harry asked in surprise.

"Obviously not. Sometimes reporters who like to lie are more popular." Hermione's tone was a little mocking.

Ron nodded and added: "Yes, Rita Skeeter is indeed the most famous and popular reporter in the wizarding world. Even the Ministry of Magic does not dare to offend her."

Harry said helplessly: "But he described Professor Russell as a conspirator and a terrorist. This is too much!"

"Hermione, give me your invisibility spell, and we'll go find her and teach this woman a lesson!"

"Ron, this is illegal, we can't do this, it will only be true!"

The three people discussed it for a while, but still couldn't think of any solution. They were all a little pessimistic about the results of the subsequent reports, especially after Ron said that Rita Skeeter had ruined the reputation of many famous wizards more than once.

......

Naturally, Russell also discovered this article in the Daily Prophet, and he was very clear about the undercurrent hidden in it.

Rita Skeeter is perhaps the most famous journalist in the wizarding world. In the field of writing in the wizarding world, she can be said to be a close relative of Lockhart.

Some time ago, articles began to sporadically mention Russell's various initiatives since he became principal. This official front-page report is even closer to openly criticizing Russell.

Russell was almost amused after reading her article. The accompanying comments could not be said to be objective and informative, but could also be considered completely fabricated. They could be called the BBC in the wizarding world.

Moreover, the statements about "addiction" and "bringing the content of the game into reality" have the flavor of many previous lives where "parents reported that game addiction harmed their children."

Of course, it also hinted at discussions about the legality of Russell's succession to Dumbledore's position, which made it easy for Russell to smell a conspiracy.

This is nothing more than the fact that those pure-blood families wanted to launch a public opinion offensive after seeing that Russell, a Slytherin wizard, did not perform as they expected after becoming the principal of Hogwarts with the help of the pure-blood family. Russell also stepped down.

This is not difficult to see, because Russell also used this trick when driving Dumbledore out of office.

However, Russell did not accomplish this through Rita Skeeter, but instead bribed several reporters whose status was slightly lower than hers.

Rita Skeeter had a high status in the journalist industry, and Russell estimated that she was probably the royal reporter of some pure-blood families.

It seemed that it was necessary to take the next step. Thinking of this, Russell licked his lips excitedly.
