The Plane Merchant of Hogwarts

Things turned out just as Rolf imagined. After getting his manuscript, The Quibbler was very proactive in arranging it in the most conspicuous position.

The next day, the wizards who saw this article were indeed aroused and wrote letters to the Daily Prophet, requesting the dismissal of Rita Skeeter.

Of course, "The Quibbler" gained a large number of readers as a result, and its sales far exceeded that of "The Daily Prophet."

In addition, some other small newspapers did not give up such a good opportunity to criticize the number one media in the wizarding world. For example, "Wizard Weekly" took advantage of this opportunity to conduct a series of exclusive interviews.

They found the characters in the incident that Rita Skeeter reported one by one, and then after gaining a deeper understanding, they compared the real situation with what Rita Skeeter reported and published it.

With one victim's statement in each issue, Rita Skeeter and the Daily Prophet are suffering destruction.

London, Diagon Alley, Daily Prophet main office.

In the wizarding world of Britain, if you don't count magazines like The Quibbler, there is really only one wizarding newspaper: The Daily Prophet.

Most wizarding families usually get the latest news they want from this newspaper.

In a sense, this newspaper can be regarded as a bellwether of public opinion in the magical world.

However, due to the low population ratio in the magical world, even though it is the largest and only newspaper in the magical world, the Daily Prophet is still small and pitiful.

Compared to the Muggle journalism industry, its actual scale is as small as a school magazine founded by a university.

Excluding those contracted columnists and reporters who contribute articles and provide breaking news from time to time, the number of real employees of the Daily Prophet actually does not exceed thirty people in total.

This is even counting editor-in-chief Barnabas Guffey and two special reporters Betty Braithwaite and Rita Skeeter.

Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the entire magazine, almost everyone will participate in the daily information collection and organization process.

As the editor-in-chief, one of Barnabas Guffey's jobs is to read the contents of other magazines every day and discover information that has been ignored and is of great news value.

boom!

Barnabas Guffey slammed the gaudy magazine in his hand on his desk and looked around at the silent employees, with a particularly ugly expression on his face.

"Why! Didn't you discover such an important thing in time?"

"But, Mr. Guffey..." Looking at the furious Barnabas Guffey, a middle-aged wizard swallowed and said cautiously.

"Why did a small magazine like The Quibbler cause such a stir? Didn't you collect feedback from wizards on time?"

Barnabas Guffey let out a sneer, as if to express his dissatisfaction with certain people's affairs, and then as he spoke, he shook a large pile of letter paper in his hand and let out an angry roar.

.

The content of the letter was very simple. It was all support for the article published in the latest issue of The Quibbler and a boycott of Rita Skeeter.

After a slight pause, Barnabas Guffey sat back heavily on his chair like a deflated balloon, shook his head, and let out a feeble sigh.

The Daily Prophet is not a source that completely reports the truth, and sometimes has a tendency to sensationalize, the most powerful of which is Rita Skeeter.

Under the appearance of being independent, the Daily Prophet has actually been checked and balanced by the Ministry of Magic more than once, and has remained silent on certain facts.

But in fact, there are only so many things that happen in the wizarding world every day, and the total number of people in the British wizarding community may not be as large as a village.

Without Rita Skeeter's so-called exclusive revelations, the Daily Prophet might have opened its doors.

"Contact Rita Skeeter and ask her not to come to the newspaper office recently." Barnabas Guffey said feebly, as if the anger just now consumed all his energy.

At the breakfast table the next day, Cedric handed the newspaper to Rolf again with a surprised look on his face. He saw that the photo on the front page had changed to Rita Skeeter holding a box in her arms and walking out of the newspaper office in frustration.

Photo.

The following also apologized for the previous incident and promised to send the Daily Prophet free of charge for three years to those who were hurt by Rita Skeeter.

Of course, this also includes Harry, Malfoy and Rolf themselves.

He was quite happy to be able to get the newspaper for free for three years. After all, some of the columns on it were still very valuable.

For example, the practical household magic in the [Magic Column] and St. Mungo's medical teaching in the [Medical Column] all interested Rolf.

And the weaving magic he was thinking about was exactly what was printed on it.

While Rolf was reading the "Daily Prophet" with great interest, couldn't he still hear other little wizards on the long table saying things like, "My mother keeps telling me that Rita Skeeter is a lunatic."

if?

At this moment, a strange owl flew towards Rolf with a letter.

He received the letter in surprise. Apart from the letters of greetings sent home every week, it seemed that no one had ever sent a letter to him?

When he opened the letter, he found that it was an invitation letter from The Quibbler. They felt that Rolf's articles were of extremely high quality and wanted to continue long-term cooperation with him.

But looking at the meager royalties they offered, Rolf was a little reluctant to accept the job.

But when he saw the final signature, which was the editor-in-chief Xenophilius Lovegood, he suddenly remembered something.

If he remembered correctly, after Neville confessed his love to Luna and was rejected, Luna... married him?

Damn, this kind of thing that lasted for thousands of years was really no surprise. I didn’t even know Luna, but I already knew our future.

After Rolf thought for a while, he wrote back and agreed to the invitation, not for the meager royalties, but to please his future father-in-law.

He wrote a reply on Hufflepuff's long table very seriously. Cedric on the side came over curiously to see what this junior was doing.

"Do you like writing articles?" He also knew that the previously popular article was written by Rolf, and he once praised Rolf for his good writing style.

"That's not true. I just want to give myself another source of income. After all, there are still many places where money is needed."

Without blinking an eye, Rolf casually mentioned the royalties that he had just rejected as an excuse.

After all, he couldn't directly say that he was working for his future wife's family, right?
