I Have a Big Problem with My Hogwarts

Lynn was embarrassed by the stunned expressions of Hermione and Harry.

He coughed twice and glared at Skeeter.

"Don't tell me these nonsense, Hogwarts is very good under Professor Dumbledore's management. It's other news that I asked you to come here to break the news."

At this time, Skeeter also saw that she seemed to have said something wrong just now, so she hurriedly changed the subject.

"You said Mr. Belloc, I guarantee that no matter what the news is, it will definitely appear on the front page of the Daily Prophet tomorrow!"

Lynn pulled over to show off, but when it came to this kind of occasion, there was some submissive Ron.

"Just the afternoon before yesterday, a nasty attack occurred inside Hogwarts Castle. Sirius Black, who escaped from prison, sneaked into Hogwarts Castle and attacked a student."

Hearing what Lynn said, Skeeter's eyes lit up.

Lynn hadn't lied to her, and it was really big news about Blake.

Even if she doesn't need to deliberately lick it, such news is definitely qualified to be on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper.

Skeeter's shorthand quill was quickly writing a large paragraph of words on the blank parchment, and she herself began to look serious.

Given that Skeeter has worked hard in the workplace for so many years, he can obviously figure out what Lynn means now.

She just needs to report this set of news honestly, and she doesn't have to do anything else.

Doing more is equal to making more mistakes.

"The student he attacked was the one next to you, right?"

Skeeter changed the target of the question to Ron. At this time, Ron seemed to have recovered from the initial tension. His face flushed and he spoke smoothly.

"Yes, he attacked me that afternoon on my way to the dormitory and put the petrifying spell on me."

"The Petrification Curse? He tortured you? Tortured about Harry Potter?"

"No, he did not."

Skeeter is really interested in this matter.

Everyone speculates that Black escaped from Azkaban just to come to Hogwarts to find Harry Potter to avenge his master.

But there was an attack at Hogwarts, but only Harry's friend was attacked, and he was tortured for things that had nothing to do with Harry.

Such news can perfectly arouse the viewer's desire to continue reading.

The biggest thing happening in the wizarding world recently is Black's escape from prison.

Everyone knew he was a dangerous man, his notoriety was well known and his every move attracted attention.

Just like the former famous terrorist **.

Now, instead of blowing up buildings, the government went to the Pentagon to steal information.

Then what information he wants to get, and what he wants to do will naturally affect the hearts of the people who eat melons.

"Then what did he ask you?"

Ron also gradually entered the state, and said with a slightly excited expression.

"He pressed me where my mouse was, oh yes, this one, my pet Scabbers, who just happened to get lost, right before Black attacked me.

I told him Scabbers was missing, he was very angry, I could see it, he was very angry, and then put a stun spell on me and I didn't know anything.

As a result, Banban came back by itself yesterday! "

Ron's acting skills are very realistic, and it is possible that he himself really believed this thing to be true.

He held up the old, tired-looking mouse lying in his palm.

Point the forelimb with a broken finger directly at the camera behind Skeeter, so that the photographer can clearly photograph him and the mouse in his hand.

After listening to his story, Skeeter looked distrustful.

For Lynn, naturally what he said was what he said.

Even if he said that Voldemort was resurrected and turned into a little blonde lolita, Skeeter would report it on the front page of the Daily Prophet as true.

But she would question what Ron said.

"How could Blake be interested in a mouse."

Skeeter frowned and looked at the gray mouse in Ron's hand, not even wanting to touch it with his own hands.

Ron was a little anxious.

"Professor Dumbledore can testify for me, and so can Lynn."

Skeeter turned his gaze to Lynn.

Lynn nodded to her: "I can prove that what Ron said is true."

With this sentence, no matter how bizarre this matter is, it is true!

Afterwards, Skeeter asked Ron about the cause and effect again, including what was so strange about his mouse, whether their family had any feud with Black before, and so on.

In the end, she harvested a thick stack of original press releases before dinner, and left with satisfaction with the photographer.

On the way to dinner in the auditorium, Ron was very excited.

It was the first time for him to accept such a high-level interview, and he was the only one interviewed, even Harry Skeeter didn't say a few words to him.

And Hermione obviously discovered that this unscrupulous reporter who came to Hogwarts from the Daily Prophet must have some ulterior secret relationship with Lynn.

"You bought her?" Hermione asked secretly in Lynn's ear.

Lynn raised his eyebrows: "How is it possible? I didn't give her a penny, and she didn't dare to take my money."

"Then why does she seem to obey you?" Hermione looked at Lynn suspiciously, and told her intuitively that there must be something dirty between this reporter and Lynn in private.

Lynn blinked: "If I say that the Daily Prophet is half owned by me, she is actually flattering me, do you believe it?"

"How is that possible? That's the Daily Prophet, the most authoritative newspaper in the entire British magic world. Even if you have money, you can't master it!"

The Prophet Daily newspaper's equity is indeed very scattered, and its main shareholders are actually those pure-blood families.

These people clearly understand the importance of controlling public opinion.

However, they didn't want any one to monopolize such an influential newspaper, so they dispersed the equity, and one family took a little to check and balance each other within the newspaper.

But now, all the properties of the pure-blood families have fallen into the hands of Old John, which naturally includes the shares of these families in the Daily Prophet.

The scattered shares of these families together accounted for nearly 50% of the total shares, and Old John became the largest shareholder of the newspaper as a matter of course.

But no matter how old John and Lynn tried to do, it was impossible for them to fully control this leading newspaper.

Because the second largest shareholder of the Daily Prophet is the British Ministry of Magic.
