HP's Platinum Temptation

The reporters of the Daily Prophet tried their best to use all the words of praise to pile on Clarence.

In the last item of the press conference, Clarence announced that he had mastered the method of removing the Dark Mark.And he said that if any Death Eater is unable to escape because he is subject to the Dark Mark, he can seek the asylum of the Violet Society and get a chance to redeem his sins.As long as they are willing, they can get out of the ranks of Death Eaters from now on, and avoid the disaster of prison after the inevitable defeat.

In order to increase the probability of success in dividing the Death Eaters, Clarence not only let the media publicize the history of the helpless submission of many former Death Eaters, but also used various rhetoric to play up the influence and successfully created two cases of 'surrender'.And gave the Daily Prophet exclusive news, using a column to report the whole process of the removal of the Dark Mark by these two 'surrenders'.

The superposition of all the above fully mobilized the public's confidence in defeating the Dark Lord, and successfully rooted the belief that the Dark Lord will fail in the near future.

In order to consolidate the effect of the propaganda, Clarence asked the media to follow the fighting team in a high-profile manner, attacked a meeting place of Death Eaters, and achieved great results.

In a few days, all the reasons and voices against Clarence's claiming the king were broken one by one by the clearly visible facts.

Ordinary wizards who were still rejected by Hogwarts turned around one after another, and successfully found a place to settle in the two residences of the Violet Society.Although all wizards who came to the refuge after the press conference had to go through a period of review and surveillance to exclude Death Eaters undercover, no one complained about the comfortable refuge environment opened after the Violet Society.

In contrast to the two, the public immediately complained about Dumbledore's inaction.

Rita Skeeter's name did not appear in the Daily Prophet's aggressive publicity campaign this time around.Because during the five days before and after the press conference, she woke up and found herself under house arrest.And the person who put her under house arrest was Xavier who had received Clarence's hint.

While the entire British wizarding media world was immersed in the frenzy of the depth charge thrown by Clarence, Rita Skeeter was anxious like an ant on a hot pot in her waiting room.She didn't understand how she offended Clarence, the current king of the British wizarding world, and missed the best opportunity to further enhance her popularity.

The room where Rita Skeeter was waiting was not far from the hall of the press conference. At least she could clearly hear the voices of reporters from other media finishing the meeting, leaving in an excited manner, gearing up to go back to publish.

At this moment, the small door on the other side of the room opened, and Clarence, who had just finished the press conference, walked into the room alone.

"Mr. Lambert, I have to complain. I don't think I've done anything..." Rita Skeeter had already lost her composure a little bit from the news. She heard the news through the locked door. With just a few words, one can guess how explosive the news announced by Clarence is.

Ignoring the excited lady in front of him, Clarence found a stool and sat down, and said calmly: "Ms. Skeeter, I am going to give you an exclusive news about Lucius Malfoy Sir and mine."

With just one sentence, Rita Skeeter's many complaints came to an abrupt end.Her green shorthand quill quickly slipped out of her crocodile leather handbag, followed by her with shining eyes, and approached Clarence.

"Mr. Lambert, did you and Mr. Malfoy know each other before you entered school? Did he already know your identity at that time? Many people say that your relationship was initiated by Mr. Malfoy. Let me tell you, Mr. Malfoy has indeed always been a celebrity in the British social circle. I wonder if you are also fascinated by him because of this?" Rita Skeeter almost heard what Clarence said, and began to speak like this Ask like a machine gun.Dazed finished the five long sentences in one breath, finally stopped, and looked at Clarence expectantly.The dissatisfaction with not being able to attend the press conference just now also disappeared.And the dark green quill quickly wrote on the hanging notebook, even after Rita Skeeter stopped, it was still dancing wildly on the notebook.

Clarence glanced at the quill, stepped back into his sofa, and clasped his hands on the armrests in front of him.The two index fingers lightly tap each other at a fixed frequency, showing the owner's leisure time.

Rita Skeeter blinked her eyes, glanced at Clarence's hand, then looked back at Clarence's eyes that seemed to be full of leisurely smiles, and stopped her quill from frantically working.Facing Clarence, she showed her most confident grin, waiting for his next words.

"Ms. Skeeter, I said at the press conference just now that I will become king and lead everyone willingly to fight against the Dark Lord's attack. And I have considerable confidence that the war will end in a short time." Carat Lance waited for Rita Skeeter to calm down before speaking slowly.

"Oh! This is really good news. I believe the entire British wizarding community will cheer for you! If I can get enough information, I can rush out a special report on this conference tomorrow." The dark green feather The pen continued to write frantically.

"Do you know what it means if I become king and win this war?" Clarence's smile deepened slightly, and he looked at the excited Rita Skeeter seemingly harmlessly.

"Of course, you will be the greatest hero in the British wizarding world, and the object of admiration for all wizards. I can predict how many babies with the same name as you will be in the next few decades." Rita S Kit nodded ingratiatingly, and moved closer to Clarence, who let out a shrill laugh and said in a slightly exaggerated tone, "Oh, that was a great sentence, I think I should put it in My report. Don't you think so?"

Clarence raised his eyebrows and raised his volume a little: "This means that if there is anything in your report, Ms. Skeeter, that I don't want to see or that I would find unpleasant, you will Disappeared without a sound. Do you understand?"

The frantically shaking dark green quill braked suddenly on the notebook, let out a scream, and drew an extremely long line on the half-filled page.Rita Skeeter's ingratiating smile completely froze on her face, not knowing how to react.

"Very well, it seems that you can understand what I mean, then the rest of the conversation will proceed smoothly." Clarence released his clasped hands, one hand resting on his chin, and the other to Rita Skeeter spread out slightly: "I still respect Ms. Skeeter's prestige in the hearts of readers. So I think this job must belong to you. After all, people like us who have the ability of Armanigues are not Not a lot, so we always have a little edge over our peers, right?"

Rita Skeeter sat back a little unconsciously, smiling awkwardly.

"Before we get down to business, maybe we can talk about something else to enhance our mutual relationship." Clarence withdrew his outstretched hand and sighed in a relaxed tone: "I heard that you have heard about Mr. Dumbledore's past. There's a lot to know, eh? How about we talk about that?"

"Oh, do you need me to add a little trouble to your opponent? No problem, I know a lot of information..." Rita Skeeter stammered, but because of Clarence's raised hand and stopped halfway.

"In this matter, you don't need too much free play, just tell me what you know without embellishment." Clarence finally suppressed his smile and showed a serious expression: "I think You need to get used to my communication style early if you want to get more exclusivity."

Rita Skeeter nodded hurriedly, telling the truth.Thanks to her long experience in writing, it didn't take much of Clarence's time.

"Okay, here is the exclusivity I promised you. Mr. Lucius Malfoy and I are indeed lovers, and this relationship was initiated by me. In this war, Lucius is not There will be too much participation, the reason is that he took the birth potion and is now pregnant." Clarence raised a sincere smile, and casually glanced at Rita Skeeter, who opened his mouth wide in shock: " If you really know the seriousness of the facts, you should know how to write future reports. I believe in your influence on the industry, so I hope that there will be no adverse events in the reports of this war. speech. But at the same time, the public must not feel that Lucius did not work hard for this war. In fact, most of the top-secret information of the Dark Lord came from his efforts. I will not tell you about the details There are too many requirements, you can play freely. But you have to remember, there is only one chance for you. If you miss it, I believe there are not a few wizards who can replace you."

Rita Skeeter retracted her chin, swallowed, and nodded with difficulty.The dark green quill that is good at spreading rumors has also been obedient, without making any movements.

Clarence was very satisfied with her performance, nodded, and he stood up: "By the way, don't slander Dumbledore, I will go to him tomorrow to discuss the joint work between the Violet Order and the Order of the Phoenix. I just I have asked you about everything, and it will only rot in your heart in the future, and don’t let a third person know. For your safety, I think you will remember my advice.” Clarence, who turned around and was about to leave the room, went to Half turned around again, showing the first bright smile of the night: "Also, after the war is over, I will officially make Lucius my queen. It is your specialty to pave the way for public opinion, At that time, apart from blessings, I don’t want to hear any other voices. You, you know how to please those in power in the future, right?”

The author has something to say: To borrow a sentence from the oil copywriter——

"If I were king, I would hold the crown for you with my own hands."
