Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry

Chapter 282. 280. The Wizengamot's Subpoena

Regarding the content of the Daily Prophet, Beauxbatons was happy to see the results, especially Fu Rong, who looked over with a gloating face. She didn't like Dudley, a man who talked nonsense when the list of warriors came out. She likes Harry, even if he is the legendary "Boy Who Lived", she doesn't think it's a big deal.

Durmstrang's students were very angry, but Karkaroff, who was the headmaster, had a look of gloating. Viktor couldn't see any expression on his face. In fact, he was still very fond of Dudley and Harry. Favorable.

"Well written."

Compared to the indignant Hogwarts crowd, Dudley's expression was much calmer. He slowly finished reading the newspaper and flicked it lightly with his fingers.

"The ability to write stories can barely be regarded as a third-rate novelist."

"How can you sit still? Dudley!"

Hermione interrupted Dudley loudly, pouted and looked angry. The woman not only programmed her, but also said a lot of bad things about Dudley, many of which were inexplicable.

"You're going to be angry, don't you just let that woman succeed?"

Gently pinching Hermione's bulging face, the opposite party instantly broke the defense, blushing and slapped Dudley hard.

It's not painful, it's even a little comfortable.

The little wizards around were amazed, and only Mr. Dursley dared to do this to the "angry lioness of Gryffindor", and everyone else would have three legs at a discount.

"Is that how you endure it?"

"When did you see me endure? I warned her, and I warned the Daily Prophet."

If this woman isn't going to die, why is there any reason to clean up the Daily Prophet?

"I, Dudley Dursley, always pay my debts."

Dudley showed a 'bright' smile, revealing two rows of white teeth of the same style as the hydraulic machine. The little wizards around him felt faint, especially the Slytherins who had suffered a lot, all shuddered in unison. .

The sharp-eyed Slytherin students even noticed that Harry, who was sitting by the side, raised his glasses silently.

It's over, Daily Prophet. Dead!
This newspaper, which contains false information about Dudley and Harry, is unsurprisingly sold out, even wizards are not exempt from it. Gossip is a common characteristic of human beings. Everyone is curious about what the "Boy Who Lived" is As for Dudley, the only impression people have of him is the inventor of the wizard card, and only a few wizards know that he is not only the famous Mr. Jerry, but also the winner of the Order of Merlin, first class, and even the Wizengamot. Youngest member.

After reading it, I was shocked. Is the student circle so chaotic?

daily prophet newspaper

As the culprit, Rita Skeeter, who was selling newspapers, was in a good mood at this time dressing up her face, trying to smooth out the wrinkled areas with foundation. She had an important event tonight. date.

"Aren't you worried about getting yourself into trouble, Ms. Skeeter? I heard that Dursley is a very popular author, even more popular than the big liar Lockhart back then."

A man with a big belly came over and said, he is the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, Barnabas Guffey.

"I told you to call me Miss. I'm not married yet."

Rita Skeeter shrieked, nearly shattering the fat editor's eardrums.

"Yes, yes, Miss Skeeter." Barnabas Guffy dug his ears vigorously.

After hearing what Barnabas Guffey said, Rita Skeeter gave up and said in her characteristic tone: "Well, so what if it's redder than Lockhart? It's just a bad book writer, I don’t think he can compare with us when he writes the same thing. I really don’t know what’s so exciting. He will know the fate of offending the Daily Prophet and Mr. Guffey. I think this question should not be asked to me, but to you. Yes, you are the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, hum."

"Me? I have nothing to worry about." Barnabas Guffy shrugged: "My manuscripts are all the real information you gave me, and we are just speaking with facts."

From the point of view of the two, so what if the other party gets angry?Just like Rita Skeeter said, they are just stinky book writers, and they dare to show their faces to the Daily Prophet. Now they deserve it. As for Dudley’s threat. They haven’t seen such a big storm in the Daily Prophet, it’s different good?

With a sudden bump, the door of the news department was pushed open, and two male wizards in uniform walked in.

"Is Rita Skeeter here?"

Rita Skeeter looked at the two suspiciously: "I am you."

"Magic Law Enforcement Team, now someone is accusing you of maliciously fabricating facts, infringing portrait rights, reputation rights and other crimes. Many wizards have suffered because of your rumors, and have caused extremely bad influence in the magic world. This is a threat. The subpoena of Zengamo requires you to go to the Ministry of Magic to cooperate with the investigation." The two showed Rita Skeeter the identity of the Ministry of Magic, and showed the subpoena with the official seal.

In addition to the Auror office, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement also has a Magical Law Enforcement Team, and the two are strikers from the Magical Law Enforcement Team.

Aurors are responsible for arresting dark wizards, and strikers are responsible for arresting wizard criminals. The relationship between the two is similar to that of SWAT and police.

"Wait, you can't arrest me, I'm a reporter from the Daily Prophet!"

Rita Skeeter shouted loudly and did not want to leave with the two.

"You want to resist?" The two strikers immediately pulled out their wands and pointed at Rita Skeeter.

Attackers are generally not as good as Aurors, but in terms of experience in fighting criminals, Aurors are far behind them. Rita Skeeter did not cooperate immediately and was treated as an enemy intending to resist.

"Stop stiff legs!"

A spell hit Rita Skeeter, her legs immediately became extremely stiff, and she fell straight down.

"I'm going to sue you for violence! I'm going to sue you! Wait and see, you're going to lose your job!"

Rita Skeeter, who was on the ground, cursed the two of them like crazy, but the other side just glanced at her and added another curse.

"All petrochemical!"

Well, there is no need to shout now, not only the legs but the whole body are stiff in place.

When the two left with Rita Skeeter, a human face made of milky white powdery substance was printed on the ground, um, it was the face of Rita Skeeter.

"This"

It took a while for the editor-in-chief, Barnabas Guffey, to realize that he was looking in the direction in which several people were leaving with a puzzled expression on his face.

Are the people at the Ministry of Magic crazy?When did you have such courage?Dare to grab the pen of their Daily Prophet, isn't it afraid that tomorrow the angry wizards will send a whole room full of roaring letters?
Soon Barnabas Guffy's face was full of excitement, isn't it just right?Rita Skeeter had better not come back today, tomorrow the newspapers will be selling again.

He had already thought of the title—Ministry of Magic, Violent Law Enforcement!
