Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

The dinner ended amidst laughter and laughter.

When the shadow of Voldemort hangs over the British wizarding society, it is difficult for the people of the Order of the Phoenix to enjoy such hearty laughter.

After eating dessert, Zhang Xu and Scarlet hurriedly left.

Except for Harry who just arrived today, everyone else has become accustomed to Zhang Xu's fast-paced life.

Less than five minutes after Zhang Xu left, a quarrel broke out in the restaurant at No. 12 Grimmauld Place. Several people had conflicts over whether Harry should have the right to know.

But all of this has nothing to do with Zhang Xu.

The River Thames is brightly lit, from Tower Bridge to Big Ben, ancient buildings and modern lights echo each other, making people feel as if they are in two time and space at the same time.

"The waters east of the Thames pass, and the waves kill heroes."

Sitting on the open-air seat of a cafe by the river, Zhang Xu sang in a low voice the lyrics that he changed to nondescript.

Scarlet, who was sitting at another table nearby, didn't want to talk to Zhang Xu, and rolled his eyes at him.

Zhang Xu made an appointment to meet in this cafe tonight. Before the guests arrived, he enjoyed a rare leisure time in the cool river breeze.

Not long after, a middle-aged woman with curly hair in delicate clothes, holding a crocodile leather handbag sat on the chair opposite Zhang Xu.

If Hermione saw this scene at this time, she might have pulled out her wand and challenged Zhang Xu one-on-one.

The person Zhang Xu met tonight was Hermione's lifelong enemy - Rita Skeeter.

Ever since your Rita Skeeter featured Hagrid in the Daily Prophet, the Harry trio have gotten into a fight with her.

Then Hermione hit back with an article in Youth Magazine, and the two fought a war of words for a while.

Today, Zhang Xu chose to meet Rita Skeeter in the Muggle territory, naturally he wanted to make trouble.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they quickly got to the point.

"Sorry, Mr. Zhang." Rita Skeeter said, "Minister of Magic Fudge asked me to write an article to attack you. I cannot refuse their request."

At the school leaving banquet last time, while Dumbledore announced the news of Voldemort's return to the students, he pulled Zhang Xu out and pointed the gun at the same time.

Later, Fudge began to fight back in public opinion. When discrediting Dumbledore and Harry Potter, Zhang Xu was also involved by the way.

"It's okay, Ms. Skeeter." Zhang Xu said, "I understand your difficulties. Your report is full of hints that Dumbledore forced me to help him lie. I believe readers will be able to see it."

Seeing that Zhang Xu didn't pursue it, Rita Skeeter was also relieved.

Zhang Xu took advantage of the fact that she was an illegal Animagus. As a reporter, she was familiar with all kinds of news, so she could see that if Zhang Xu wanted to deal with her, there would naturally be someone who could help her.

Before that, she was worried that Zhang Xu invited her to the Muggle territory because he was dissatisfied with his report and wanted to sink her in the Thames.

"Is the mysterious man really back?" Rita Skeeter asked cautiously.

"Yes." Zhang Xu replied, "What Professor Dumbledore said is true. I was there at the time. The person in that video was not someone pretended to be by Professor Dumbledore."

After hearing Zhang Xu's answer, Rita Skeeter's face was full of panic.

"What's so scary about the mysterious man coming back?" Zhang Xu said with a smile, "You are a pure-blood wizard, and you have been fighting against Professor Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic. The mysterious man has no reason to hurt you."

"But I aimed at the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore, just for money." Rita Skeeter said.

"Do you think the mysterious person cares about this?" Zhang Xu said, "He only cares about the result, and won't care about the motives of a small person like you."

"But... I don't dare to write articles attacking You-Know-Who and Death Eaters," Rita Skeeter said, "You'll lose your life."

"It seems that when we are facing the mysterious person,

The positions are all the same. "Zhang Xu said, "If the mysterious person is in power, you will not have a good life. "

After struggling in her mind, Rita Skeet nodded and agreed with Zhang Xu.

"Actually, you can also play a very important role in the fight against the mysterious man." Zhang Xu continued.

"I can also play a role?" Rita Skeeter asked curiously, "I'm not a powerful wizard like Dumbledore."

"A person's article can sometimes become a dagger and a spear thrown at the enemy's heart." Zhang Xu said, "Everyone has their own field of expertise, and in your field of expertise, you are as powerful as Professor Dumbledore. "

Rita Skeeter stared at Zhang Xu dumbfounded, this was the first time she heard such a statement.

Rita Skeeter recovered, staring at the half-drunk coffee on the table, thinking about something.

Journalists like Rita Skeeter know best who they can mess with and who they should never touch.

For targets like the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore, Rita Skeeter dared to write articles to attack them because she was sure that they would not use unconventional means to deal with her.

As for people like Lucius Malfoy, if she dared to write articles to attack them, a whole body would be considered merciful.

If the mysterious person came to power in the end, she would be a ghost of "pointing out the current problems", and forget about writing romance novels instead.

"What should I do?" Rita Skeeter raised her head and asked Zhang Xu.

"Just do what you like the most." Zhang Xu replied.

"Didn't Fudge ask you to smear Professor Dumbledore and Harry, so you continue to smear them."

"You can describe Dumbledore as an old liar full of lies, but the 'savior' Harry Potter is a complete fraud. How could the mysterious man be defeated by a baby? There must be something hidden behind it. You can do whatever you want Ed. The current Harry Potter is actually a boy of the same age named Daniel Radcliffe who was found by Dumbledore to pretend."

"In the article, you try to mention Fudge as much as possible, implying that our Minister of Magic has already seen through Dumbledore's conspiracy."

"Readers who have been reading news that smears Dumbledore and Harry will definitely get tired of it for a long time. You can use a pseudonym-such as Miranda Richardson-to write articles in support of Dumbledore, Refute the content of the article written under your real name."

"Then you can use both names to write articles attacking each other."

"When there is a war in the newspapers, people will pay more attention to your reports in the newspapers."

"Of course, you must take precautions to keep it secret."

"It's a pity that you don't want to be a reporter, Mr. Zhang." Rita Skeeter said to Zhang Xu sincerely.

Although she didn't know why Zhang Xu suggested that she continue to smear Dumbledore and Harry Potter, but the method he said later, "create rumors with the left hand first, and then refute them with the right hand", gave her a lot of inspiration.

"Why continue targeting Dumbledore and Harry Potter?" asked Rita Skeeter.

"Do you want to make a Minister of Magic resign based on your own reports?" Zhang Xu asked.

"Can it be done?" Rita Skeeter's eyes lit up, she was very interested in such things.

"Fuji obviously wants to cover up the news of the mysterious man's return with all his strength." Zhang Xu said, "Then you should do your best to help him and let the public see his efforts."

"When the mysterious person makes his public appearance, you only need one article to get down the minister who deceived the public."

Rita Skeeter immediately understood what Zhang Xu meant, and said, "This method is very good, I need to make a good plan."

"Can you do me a little favor?" Zhang Xu said.

"What do I need to do?" Rita Skeeter asked.

Zhang Xu took out a piece of parchment, wrote a string of family names on it, and handed it to Rita Skeeter.

"If you want to use Miranda Richardson's name to write an article supporting Professor Dumbledore, please imply in the article that these families are secretly supporting Dumbledore." Zhang Xu said.

Rita Skeeter understood Zhang Xu's meaning after reading the family name on the note.

These are the families that offended Zhang Xu. They were the families that tried to let the werewolf raid Hogsmeade and assassinate him after the chaos, and the families that tried to use fire dragons to assassinate him after the Triwizard Tournament.

Although Dumbledore and the others made these families take off a layer of skin, Zhang Xu still wanted to give them a hard time by himself.

As long as Rita Skeeter described them as Dumbledore's hardcore supporters in the article, Fudge and Voldemort would naturally help Zhang Xu deal with them.

Rita Skeeter accepted the parchment and agreed to do Zhang Xu this favor.

Rita Skeeter can go to Gringotts to claim a bag of gold coins based on the contents of the other side of the parchment as long as she uses her wand to remove the family names written on the piece of paper when she goes back.

Moreover, the goblins of Gringotts will destroy the parchment after completing the payment procedures, so that no one will know the transaction between the two of them.

Everyone is smart and knows what to do next.
