The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 522 Who's Trick
"As expected of Albert."

When George saw the headlines in today's Daily Prophet, he shook the spiky potato off his hands in shock.

"By the way, how on earth did he convince that woman, Rita Skeeter?"

On the headline section of the Daily Prophet, an exclusive interview was published about the world's youngest wizard chess champion.

This interview wiped out all the original Albert's scandals.

"I guess Garen was definitely not used to settle that woman."

Fred, who just leaned his head over, conjectured, "Based on Albert's habits, he probably caught Rita Skeeter's handle and threatened her to correct her mistakes."

"I think so, too," echoed George.

Of course they know that Albert has enough Garen to deal with Rita Skeeter, but Albert is not a person who likes to suffer and hold back. Just look at the fate of those Slytherin students who want to trouble him. Yes, the possibility of Hua Jialong's settlement is very low.

The biggest possibility is to directly grab Rita Skeeter's handle, forcefully hold the opponent's head, and let her solve the problem by herself.

It has to be said that after being roommates for several years, the twins still know Albert's character very well.

"What's the reason?" Percy asked curiously, and he knew exactly what kind of person Rita Skeeter was.

"How do we know, you ask him yourself." George said after thinking for a while.

"However, I think if you ask Albert, he will probably tell you that he paid Rita Skeeter to settle."

If Albert doesn't want to tell, he can find countless truths to answer your questions.

"I am back."

At this moment, Mr. Weasley dragged his exhausted body into the house. He had been working overtime for several days in a row recently, and even ransacked seven houses in a row last night, and found a lot of contraband.

"Dad, you're back." Percy got up and took Mr. Weasley's briefcase, and put it where he usually put it.

"That's awful, the Ministry of Magic is in a mess right now," muttered Mr. Weasley.

"What's going on?" Ron couldn't help asking.

"It's not the exclusive interview with Rita Skeeter, which is considered to cause international disputes." Mr. Weasley took the lead, pointed to the newspaper that George was flipping through and said, "You see the newspaper in the back?" Just a few articles, interviews about Albert Anderson's trip to America."

Several people turned to the third edition, and soon realized why they said that it might cause international disputes.

"I don't think Albert should have lied. In fact, he rarely lied to deceive others." As soon as George finished speaking, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Albert really didn't lie much?

He is just good at misleading others with true words, so most of the things in the newspaper are probably true.

No lie.

Hmm, no problem.

"Right now, many wizards in the British wizarding world don't like the Magical Congress of America, and even started to discuss the policies of the United States that are different from other countries." Mr. Weasley bit his sausage and muttered, "If it weren't for the newspaper saying The use of owls is not allowed in the American wizarding community, and I even suspect that a bunch of people have sent letters to that Mr. Carter."

"They can use the international mail channel." George said without thinking.

"Yes Yes."

Mr. Weasley muttered, "Someone in the United States is protesting against the sending of a large number of letters and packages containing black magic or dangerous items from the United Kingdom to that side."

"Great, I think that Mr. Carter will be very pleasantly surprised."

"This is not a good idea, it will cause international disputes." Mr. Weasley sighed helplessly as he looked at his gloating sons.

"Dad, I think Albert's words are true." Fred said solemnly, "America probably looks like that."

"That's right." Fred nodded and echoed, "When he wrote last time, he also told us that he would not go to the United States again, and also warned us that it is best to stay away from the United States, wizards who are not familiar with the laws there , It is easy to commit a felony and be imprisoned in a prison.”

"We've never seen Albert so unabashedly expressing his dislike for something." Fred and George said in unison.

Mr. Weasley choked for a moment. In fact, many wizards really don't know what is going on in the United States, but the Daily Prophet highlighted a name: "Rappaport Law".

Mr. Weasley felt that Rita Skeeter was going to use this to make trouble.

For example, the newspaper described that the staff of the Magic Congress of the United States deliberately embarrassed others because of jealousy, and deliberately smeared the champion of the International Wizard Chess Competition in the Ghost Daily because he defeated the most promising player in the United States to win the Wizard Chess Championship?
American journalists also deliberately distorted the facts because of Albert's refusal to interview, and sought out gossip?
Rita Skeeter even wrote at the end of the interview:
The author broke into a cold sweat for our young international wizard chess champion. If it weren’t for his cautious character, he might have accidentally violated the laws of the Magical Congress of America and would have to spend the second half of this year in a prison in the United States. time.

The author sincerely hopes that the Magical Congress of America will consider Mr. Anderson's proposal and print a guidebook for entering the Magical Society of America, so as to reduce the unintentional violation of the laws of the Magical Congress of America.

Look, is this what people say?
No matter how you look at it, it looks like the Magical Congress of America is deliberately luring wizards going to the United States to break the laws formulated by the Magical Congress of America?

However, once the newspaper was published, it aroused the sympathy of wizards for their young champion in the United States.

Albert received a lot of comforting letters, and many people even sent him a lot of candy and other small gifts.

It's just that Albert threw these things into a box and sealed them up.

While they were talking about newspaper news, Ron's inappropriate voice suddenly sounded, "Dad, I think Harry might be in some trouble. I've sent him 12 letters, but he hasn't sent me any reply."

"If Harry doesn't reply in the past few days, I'll pick him up in person. You know, I've been busy in the past few days!" Mr. Weasley said upon hearing this.

Although he felt that this kind of thing was a bit rash, he felt that Harry's guardian would not refuse the invitation if he went over in person.

However, things changed much faster than Mr. Weasley expected!

Before leaving get off work that night, Mr. Weasley heard from a colleague that the famous Harry Potter violated the secrecy law by using magic in front of Muggles and was warned by the Ministry of Magic.

It's just that Mr. Weasley ransacked his home ruthlessly recently, and he still needs to be approved by the Ministry of Magic. The process is relatively slow. He regrets that he didn't find an acquaintance to help him connect to the Floo network.

Unbeknownst to Mr. Weasley, after learning of this, Ron and his twin brothers were also discussing Harry's matter.

"I think Harry must be in some serious trouble. Otherwise, it would be impossible to use magic in front of Muggles. He must know that it is forbidden." After hearing the news, Ron became more and more uneasy.

"Perhaps, we can personally pick him up at our house." Fred said suddenly, and he took out the universal knife that Albert had sent them, and there was a note on it: just in case.

"We can't use magic," Ron reminded.

"You can use Dad's car." George said without thinking. "I think Albert is implying that Harry may be locked up, so he thinks we will use the lockpicking tool of this knife."

"Lock picking?"

Ron was a little confused.

"That's a Muggle trick, a little trick we learned from Albert. There are many doors in Hogwarts that can't be opened with an alaho hole spell, but they can be opened with Muggle tricks." Fred explained.

Based on his understanding of Albert, the other party gave them a universal knife with such a message. It is likely that Albert learned that they would rescue Harry Potter through a prophecy.

Of course, hearing this in Ron's ears, he felt that Fred and George were making excuses for themselves, but he agreed to use the flying car.

That car was modified by Mr. Weasley to make it invisible. At night, no one would notice that there was a car flying in the sky.

"But how are we going to drive the car away quietly?" Ron muttered.

"Don't worry, I have a solution!" Fred said with a smile, "Go and help me watch over my mother, while George and I will get the car keys."

In the middle of the night, Fred used the Flying Charm to get the car keys, and the three sneaked downstairs to the garage, got into the modified Ford car, activated the invisible button, and let the car drive out of the garage , flew towards the sky.
