The Occult Warlock of Hogwarts

However, the impact of public opinion has not yet reached Fred and George.

The twins are also innocent. The contract they asked Rita Skeeter and Ludo Bagman to sign did not involve life or death at all. Theoretically, even if Rita Skeeter's entire family died, the twins would not be responsible for it.

Therefore, the two of them were only annoyed after seeing Rita Skeeter's article in "Wizard Weekly", and were shocked after learning about the woman's death. In addition to no longer complaining, they also had similar deaths.

A little sadness, they are willing to give a little tolerance to the dead. After all, debts are canceled after death, but because Fred and George are not dead, all the tolerance of the general public cannot be applied to them.

They didn't expect that in just a few days, the malice from the wizarding world would penetrate Dumbledore's protection and flow into the Hogwarts castle like slowly flowing oil. The once popular twins lost their

Everyone loves them. Although people who really know them still maintain the original communication with them, more students have only had a casual relationship with them, or a more superficial transaction relationship. Nowadays, more of these students

People changed their attitudes - when they met the twins, they would not smile or wave in greeting, but would turn their heads or smile contemptuously, then look at the twins with their eyes, cover their mouths with their hands, and talk to their companions

They said something, and their companions had the same attitude - looking at Fred and George, and then moving their lips quickly.

The twins could not care at first, but after a while, their hearts became scratchy. Even if they knew that what those people said was definitely not nice, it didn't matter. Their curiosity made them unbearable, and they had to

Know what these people are talking about.

So in the corridor on the third floor of the castle, Fred and George stopped Cedric of Hufflepuff - the handsome boy who was praised for preventing riots in the Triwizard Tournament. He was walking with a yellow-skinned girl.

Together, they were holding hands side by side, joking with each other slightly, flirting with each other, looking sweet and loyal. The reason why Cedric was chosen as the target of questioning was simple - this outstanding Hufflepuff student was gentle and kind.

, almost impeccable on a moral level, Fred and George's strategy was also very simple. They walked up directly and asked: "Hey, Cedric, do you know what's going on about us recently?"

Cedric's expression was immediately blocked, and love was blocked deep into his eyes. He said seriously: "Of course, I heard a lot. Don't you know?"

Fred and George looked at each other, and then they noticed that the beautiful yellow-skinned girl also lowered her expression, and her face was as serious as Cedric's. Then they didn't look any further, but said

: "You mean...Rita Skeeter?"

"That's why," Cedric said: "Many people think you killed her. Of course, I don't believe it - although I don't know much about you."

"Your last sentence was unnecessary," the twins pretended to be sad, and they said, "But we did not hurt her, and didn't the Daily Prophet clarify it for us?"

"But there are many people who think that there are people behind the scenes, and that the freedom of public opinion in the wizarding world is being stifled," Cedric said, his expression uglier, "So they came up with a theory... They believe that the Weasley family is not what it seems.

They think your family is disguised as poor and has actually controlled the entire Ministry of Magic..."

"If that's the case, that would be great! I've wanted to build a new house for a long time," Fred couldn't help shouting, "How can it be so ridiculous!"

Cedric shrugged, he was much relieved by Fred's exaggerated expression, and smiled: "Of course, that's what my father said. He said that expecting Wes to come to the family will make us rich, it is better to expect the Muggles of tomorrow."

All become wizards."

"It's not that outrageous," George retorted fiercely, "Look, it's our duty as a generation to revive Wes to glory!"

A cheerful smile reappeared on Cedric's face, and he said: "Most of the others have received letters from home. Many people in the magic world think you are murderers, so they keep their children away from you."

Outside, it is inevitable to be a little worried, "How are you doing?"

"We don't care about the eyes of idiots," the twins vowed: "We will still be happy every day!"

"I believe in you," Cedric encouraged, never underestimating the optimism of the twins. "Justice will definitely be served, and your grievances will definitely be cleared. Also, before I can introduce it to you, this is Qiu

·Zhang, my girlfriend, from Ravenclaw."

Qiu's eyes and hair were both black, and those soft eyes seemed to be able to speak, with a simple and earth-like tenacity hidden deep inside. She shook hands with the twins generously, and said at the same time: "You are from Hogwarts."

Celebrities, I just haven’t had many opportunities to communicate before, and you are much more interesting than I thought.”

The twins blinked, bowed comically and said: "Thank you for your recognition."

Qiu laughed loudly, covering her mouth with her palms and curling her eyes happily.

"I won't disturb you anymore," the twins said promptly, "I hope you have fun."

Cedric took his girlfriend and left just like that. The twins stood there and did not move immediately. Although they insisted that they did not care about the comments from the outside world, the power of words still exceeded their imagination.

"Are you scared?" George asked.

"I'm not afraid," Fred said affirmatively, "but the feeling now is definitely different from usual, and we are still affected."

"This is still the case when we don't know what others said," George said irritably. "If this continues, sooner or later someone will stop covering up. In the end, everyone will come and scold us, and then it may no longer be true.

It's as simple as 'under the influence'... At that point, it doesn't matter whether we killed Rita Skeeter or not."

"Mom and dad haven't contacted us yet," Fred said. "They probably don't want us to know and want to protect us."

"We can't ask our parents for help," George shook his head and said, "We are already old and will be adults soon. Do we have to ask our parents for everything? And I don't want them to worry. I want to solve their problems."

Fred agreed: "I think so too, but first, we have to find a starting point."

George understood and immediately said: "Ludo Bagman!"

"Let's look for him!" Fred said, "There must be something wrong with Rita Skeeter's sudden death, but I can't figure out why it would develop like this."
