HP's Platinum Temptation

The report of the Daily Prophet and the back and forth contradictory reports of the wizard wireless magic network put this matter of the Lambert family on the cusp.

Because of the two completely different publicity attitudes before and after, everyone's feelings about the Lambert family are very complicated.

Muggles have always been a very sensitive subject.The reporters of the Prophet Daily have been engaged in this kind of writing work for public opinion for a long time, and they are very experienced in how to affect the nerves of the public.At least, the Ministry of Magic's public statement cannot completely dispel public suspicion.

Moreover, no one seems to intend to let this matter end like this.

The next day, the Daily Prophet did not change its position because of the statement made by the Ministry of Magic, nor did it make a formal apology as requested by the Duke of Rezlan.Instead, they continued to pump out even more explosive material in return.

"The Muggle government's proof cannot be established, and the Lambert family may control the Muggles to give corresponding materials."

"Curse of the royal family! The blood of the Muggle royals is cursed, and there will never be wizard blood. The blood of the pure-blood families will be tainted."

"Rights trading? The Ministry of Magic's improper use of rights granted by the public."

Several gigantic headlines appeared on the pages of the Daily Prophet.Some specific data and materials are listed in the article below the title.But more content is some conjectures about shady operations.Although the arguments are not tenable, they are very inspiring.

The Lambert family's clarification by the Ministry of Magic and WWN's broadcast cannot provide such a detailed and visual description as the Daily Prophet, so they are quite disadvantaged in this regard.

Lucius probably also saw this, so he tightly controlled the Daily Prophet to make a big fuss in this field.

"The offensive of public opinion is still very influential on the choice of the entire public. After yesterday's news was released, the sales of the industries to which the business alliance belongs have dropped significantly, especially the clothing and supplies, and the food is not bad. Then, In the afternoon, after the clarification from the Ministry of Magic until today, the situation of all stores has improved significantly compared to yesterday, but it is still far worse than before." Yvette's image and voice appeared through magic from the pocket watch: "Actually, if If His Excellency, the Duke, hadn't reacted quickly enough, the public opinion against the Lambert family would have continued until today. Then, all our industries may be directly hit by a devastating blow."

"Well, your execution efficiency is better than planned." Clarence nodded: "By the way, how is the effect of using the water mirror during this period? Is there a test report? How is the stability?" Clarence Stein tapped his finger on the edge of his pocket watch and asked a question that had nothing to do with the news.

"Eh? Water mirror?" Yvette didn't react for a while, and repeated Clarence's question: "Oh, yes, water mirror. Now the multi-terminal test is over, and the technical department has written a detailed Report. There is still room for improvement, but there are no major problems. We are about to ask you, should we submit the report to the goblin so that they can modify the water mirror?"

"No, if there are no major problems, just inform the goblins directly, and we can start pre-sales according to our plan. You can also send them the report, but you don't need to ask them to change it now. Save it for the second version of the revision Just give me your opinion. Wait until the first batch is almost sold out, and then release the second batch."

"Okay, I understand." Yvette grabbed her notebook from her hand and wrote down Clarence's words: "Also, do we need to revise our next plan? Or go ahead with the original plan? "

"what's the plan?"

"It's about public opinion. Should we proceed with a quick solution, or expand it?"

"The Daily Prophet should not be let go by the other party. Then, except for that one place, control of all other platforms should be seized as much as possible. Follow the expansion plan, and make it as big as possible. Let's start by responding to the opponent. Our biggest advantage is that the opponent's control is obviously much smaller, whether it is the Ministry of Magic or the WWN channel. Obviously, as I guessed, this time the opponent's attack was temporarily executed, and there is not enough Prepare. Then, he must not have enough materials.” Clarence sat up straight on the reclining sofa: “They don’t have enough materials, so we will help to fill them up. Find one or two other newspapers as our main way to publish materials .Pay attention to the movement of the Daily Prophet. Let them have an advantage first. When their attitude softens, provide more materials to the Daily Prophet anonymously. Help them drag down all the departments related to us and pull them to the opposite side. , and then slowly use this anonymous whistleblower to control the content of the Daily Prophet's report. The ultimate goal is to completely expose the Malfoy family behind it."

"Aren't you worried that it won't stop if it's too much trouble?" Yvette said worriedly, "We can't guarantee that public opinion will go as we want."

"Don't worry, we are the killer. If the situation is not right, we will bring all the witches and wizards here. Finally, we will announce that and kill it. The longer the war of words, the better." Clarence instructed.

"Okay." Yvette nodded, ended the call, and the light and shadow disappeared from the pocket watch.

☆☆☆

The Daily Prophet has always dominated the wizarding world newspapers, and it is impossible to find a newspaper with the same status to fight against it.So, on the third day after the storm began, a writer representing the Lambert family's position published a long and detailed text description on "The Quibbler".

Magazines have more event reporting advantages than the Daily Prophet.

The day after The Quibbler was published, almost every student at Hogwarts had a copy.

"Look, the person who wrote the article really admires me." Jeffrey patted his magazine with his hands again and again, dipping ink with a quill pen, planning to make more marks on the magazine: "In my opinion Come on, you can also mark the 'beautiful words' or something again. That's really good!"

"The Struggles of the Lamberts—the centuries-old struggles of an ancient family. It says the Lamberts' history goes back before the fourteenth century. Clarence, are you sure it's true? Find the history so long ago?" Daphne pointed to the first article in the magazine and asked: "I'm not questioning you, it's just, such a long history, are you sure?"

"Of course, the original words should refer to before the fourteenth century, right? In fact, because of the recent news storm, we are planning to organize a work of sorting out the genealogy of British wizards. The deputy director has already proposed such a proposal to the minister One application, but it has not been approved yet. So my dad means, let me help sort out the genealogy of the Lambert family first. Otherwise, without actual evidence, people will say we are talking nonsense, right? I plan to go to the library to find it soon , to see if you can find the corresponding character history. But it is probably difficult, after all, it is impossible for every member of the family to be very good." Clarence nodded affirmatively.For him who has the Book of Time, it's not difficult to do this, it's just that he lacks time.

"This issue of the magazine has almost become your special edition. The front is the introduction of the Lambert family, the middle is the introduction of the various families of the business alliance, and the last is the introduction of the business alliance itself, and there are future plans? What the newspaper said last time The mysterious Mr. Winter can actually explain the past - in order to ensure the effect of the Fidelity Curse, he is actually a native British wizard? You know, I heard that everyone suspects that Mr. Winter is a Muggle invited by the Business Alliance." Daphne continued.

"Has everyone discussed this?" Clarence asked curiously, "I thought everyone was just paying attention."

"Of course not. I heard that people from various colleges have followed suit and set up the 'Duke Incident Research Group'. Some support your pro-Muggle views, in order to find evidence to support you; some oppose you, saying they want to expose your lies." Daphne immediately denied Clarence's original cognition.

"Listen to you, this has turned into a bigger controversy?" Clarence was a little surprised.

"Well, yes." Cindy, who has never been very talkative, also spoke very rarely: "I heard many students discussing that this has become a debate on whether to accept the views of shaman wizards. You all know Yes, the mysterious people have been persecuting Muggle wizards for many years. Pure blood families also look down on wizards like me. Therefore, it is rare to see such a big force, I mean the business alliance, openly and Muggles Good friends, support Muggle wizards. Well, before I left the activity room yesterday, I heard several senior students in our club discussing whether to write a manuscript to introduce this pro-Muggle club led by Theodore as a support , What are you talking about about the Violet Alliance." Cindy was talking, and found that everyone was looking at her, she couldn't help but blushed, and her voice became smaller and smaller, so that she could hardly hear the last words.

"What did you say? The last sentence?" Clarence asked nervously, "Say it again!"

"Uh...write a manuscript to support the business alliance, and suggest that we unite with the Violet Society and use our community rules to form the Violet Alliance." Cindy blushed from being questioned, and it took a long time before he hesitated to say it, and the voice said the back Shrunk again: "I think it's pretty good."

"It's so good, it's so good!" Clarence said happily: "Genius! This is really a brilliant idea! Is this the opinion of most people?"

"It seems so, maybe you can ask Theodore. If they want to do this, they will definitely tell Theodore." Daphne immediately helped Cindy tell what she heard.

Public opinion is originally a matter involving the psychology of the public, and there are too many factors that can have an impact.

What Clarence had heard from Cindy soon became reality.The storm has grown once again, and even Wizards Weekly and Transfiguration Today have joined the event.All kinds of opinions began to spread to all wizards.

The author has something to say: It seems that I have written a bit too much about the news storm.It is expected to end in the next chapter.

Then Yuanyuan is going to add another chapter this weekend.The approximate schedule is as follows:
