Hogwarts God of Ice and Fire

When she thought that within half a year, her former luxurious life would no longer exist, and like her colleagues who could not even produce a few manuscripts that could pass review, she would have to live in poverty. As she lived, the fear and resentment in Rita's heart became more and more intense.

Why are you hiding me? !What qualifications do you, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, have to do this? How can you, a person who has never even published a hit piece of news, ignore my contribution to the Daily Prophet? !
Rita stood up more and more angrily. She actually rushed out of the door, stopped in front of Michelle who was about to return to her office, and asked hysterically: "Mr. Anderson, why do you do this?! Could it be that Aren’t you worried that I’ll switch jobs to other newspapers and let them squeeze out the status of the Daily Prophet?! How can you shoulder this responsibility on behalf of the Daily Prophet?!”

Faced with the threatening questioning in Rita's words, Michelle did not worry at all. He looked at her coldly and said lightly: "If you dare to resign from the newspaper, then I swear on the name of Anderson, the entire Except for The Quibbler, a newspaper that only fools read, no newspaper in the British wizarding world would use you!"

Hearing Michelle's words, Rita couldn't help but pale.

Having been colleagues for so many years, she naturally knew her old boss Michelle thoroughly. She knew that he definitely did not have such great power in the news field of the British magic world, otherwise Michelle would not have been around for so long and still be just a person. Editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet.

However, just as he knew the details of Michelle, Michelle also knew how deeply she knew him. In this case, Michelle had no reason to deceive herself.

So this means that the person who can make him no longer have a place in the news field is not the Michelle in front of him, but the person behind him!
Rita looked at him with white lips, and asked tremblingly: "Mr. Anderson, can you tell me who I have offended? Even if it means death, you have to let me die clearly!"

Rita knew in her heart that since the person behind Michelle only allowed herself to be hidden for six months instead of completely blocking herself, there must be room for change, or she was still useful to that person.

Seeing that Rita seemed to understand something, Michelle finally chuckled, and his tone was no longer as cold as at the beginning. He said: "Think about it carefully, Rita, you have been at the Prophet for the past two days. What was written in the daily newspaper, and what is the background behind the people you offended by what you wrote. Maybe this time it was just a warning from that person, but it may not be the case next time. "

Hearing this, Rita's mind started spinning rapidly.

These two articles she published...

Apart from the press release that ridiculed the Ministry of Magic for only doing research on the Crucible, it seemed that the only remaining one was the one that revealed the identity of the half-blood giant at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Wait, half-giant, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? !

Rita was shocked. She suddenly remembered that the heir of the Roll family she met after the first event of the Triwizard Tournament was a student of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

Could it be said that the hybrid giant has some friendship with that person? !

Rita couldn't help but curse in her heart, who would have thought that a mixed-blood giant could actually involve the heirs of those pure-blood families who value blood the most!
"I understand, thank you for the reminder, Mr. Anderson!"

After clarifying what happened, Rita sincerely thanked Michelle. She understood that this time it was her fault for not investigating the background of the interviewee.

……

On the other side, in Hogwarts Castle.

As time went by, Saturday's Hogsmeade weekend soon arrived. After Irina said hello to Linn, she followed Harry, Ron and Hermione to Hogsmeade Village to find the sea. Passed.

The four of them first went to the Pig's Head Bar. They didn't have a good impression of this dirty bar. They came here first just to take a look around. After confirming that Hagrid was not here, they could leave quickly and go to Three Bars. Enjoy delicious butterbeer at the Broom Bar.

Not long after, the group arrived at the Three Broomsticks Bar. "It seems that Hagrid is not here."

Hermione glanced around the Three Broomsticks pub and said with some regret.

Ron sighed and said, "Then order four glasses of butterbeer. Let's sit here and rest for a while."

Irina and Harry had no objections to Ron's plan.

Since the last school year, Irina has hardly come to Hogsmeade with Harry and the others. She has mostly been with Linn. In this way, she has indeed neglected the contact with these friends. .

Just as the four of them were about to find a place to sit down, Irina suddenly saw Ludo Bagman sitting in a seat far away, communicating with a group of goblins.

At this time, Ludo seemed to have noticed Harry coming to the bar. He walked over and said happily: "Harry! How are you? Everything is fine! I just hope I can meet you!"

Harry said calmly: "I'm fine, thank you."

Ludo looked enthusiastic and said: "Harry, I wonder if I can have a few words with you alone? Can you make it easier for me?"

With that said, Ludo turned his attention to Irina, Hermione and Ron.

Hearing Ludo's words, Irina just said lightly: "If you have anything, you can tell us directly. We are very good partners."

Hearing this, Ludo hesitated for a moment, and finally took the four of them to a corner of the Three Broomsticks bar.

What Ludo wanted to say to Harry was not beyond Irina's expectation. He wanted to use his authority as Director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic to help Harry win the Triwizard Tournament. , and Harry decisively refused.

However, a piece of information revealed in Ludo's words made Irina frown.

That means Barty Crouch Sr. hasn't been around for two weeks!

And these two weeks started exactly from the Christmas holiday!

Barty Crouch Sr. was under the Imperius Curse of Barty Jr., which was what Lynn told her on the night the champions of the Triwizard Tournament were selected.

And now, old Barty, who was under the Imperius Curse, has disappeared for two weeks in a row. Could it be that something bad happened? !

Irina thought about it. For now, Barty Sr. was the candidate she and Lynn planned to push for the position of Minister of Magic. If something happened to Barty Sr., their plan would most likely be met with some disapproval. positive effect. (End of chapter)
