Chapter 384 Magic Wand Detection (page 12)
Rita Skeeter's blond hair was styled into delicate, stiff, weird curls.
Paired with her fat face, she looked like a toad with wig curls.
There was a pair of jeweled glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he was holding a crocodile leather handbag with his fat fingers. His nails were about two inches long and were painted bright red.
In the second grade, Zhang Xiao and she had an intersection. It was at the first competition show where Qingluan Club donated 32 broomsticks.
The woman tried to use her shorthand quill to write a story about her love and hate relationship with her so-called family - not unlike Thunderstorm.
Of course, Zhang Xiao gave him a good lesson.
Zhang Xiao raised his eyebrows and gave her a signal. Rita understood, and she smiled stiffly:
"Well - let's start our exclusive interview with a team of one person. I think readers must want to know more about this mysterious school."
Not bad, sensible!
The two came to another small room inside the room. Zhang Xiao looked around. It was supposed to be a broom room, but now there was an empty desk and two chairs.
There is a window here, and warm sunlight is shining through the window, illuminating the room very brightly.
Rita Skeeter's thick fingers tightly held the crocodile leather handbag, and the smile on her face was gone, only fear and nervousness.
"What do you want from me? I haven't published any reports related to you."
Zhang Xiao smiled and waved her to sit down:
"Don't be afraid. You are doing a good job. Every time you publish a report, you bypass the person I told you about."
Rita Skeeter was relieved when she heard this. This little wizard was really scary. He was already very powerful and domineering in the second grade.
Now three years older, he has the appearance of a young man. He looks kind and gentle, but Rita Skeeter has seen countless big shots, and her eyes are very vicious.
It was impossible to see that the little wizard in front of him really had the ability to shut himself up forever.
The reason why she dared to arrange those characters before was because she was smart and discerning. She knew who could arrange and who could arrange what. She would never touch those who couldn't move.
In addition, becoming a beetle also eavesdropped on a lot of dirty information. The combination of these factors allowed her to thrive in the newspaper industry.
Especially when she came to Hogwarts, she immediately heard about the terrifying parting clouds and the palace in the sky, and she became even more frightened and frightened.
After waiting anxiously for a while, I heard the little wizard opposite said calmly:
"Is there anything you want? or desire?"
After a while, Malfoy saw Zhang Xiao and the famous columnist walking out of the room with a smile.
The two said something and then separated. Rita then searched for targets in the crowd. When she found the right one, she dragged them into the small interview room for an interview.
"Zhang, what did you say to her? She is not a good person. She is very good at writing exaggerated things, but strangely, there are some real secrets in her reports.
You have to be careful, because if you say something, she will immediately misinterpret your meaning and concoct a nonsense report. "
At the end, Malfoy added a sentence to support his statement:
"She also wrote about our family's affairs back then. My father spent a lot of effort and a lot of gold and galleons to get her to shut up."
Zhang Xiao patted his shoulder and said with a smile:
"Thanks, Draco, I know."
Malfoy nodded and said nothing.
Hmm - I really didn't expect that this woman's hobbies were peeping and writing gossip. What she liked most was spreading the half-true and half-false gossip she wrote.
It's almost like the 'Mimeng' in the wizarding world, but she doesn't start with 'men and women', she sells black stuff.
So after Zhang Xiao promised to let billions of people see what she wrote, Rita Skeeter almost fainted with excitement.
He immediately expressed his willingness to pass on some news to Zhang Xiao - related to Death Eaters.
By the way, Zhang Xiao is planning to introduce Rita Skeeter to the Sun as a column editor. Lucius has such a way.
"Dumbledore!" Rita Skeeter suddenly said loudly, with a look of joy. She hurriedly let go of a man who had been fooled by her, thinking that she would be featured in the "Daily Prophet" the next day. On the front page, an Ilvermorny student is about to become a star.
"How are you?" she said, walking over and extending a big manly hand to Dumbledore: "Have you read my summer article about the International Federation of Wizards Conference?"
"That's great!" Dumbledore said kindly, his blue eyes seeming to be recalling something: "I especially loved reading the paragraph where you described me as an old madman who threw a lot of noise and rolled around in meetings. That section.”
Rita Skeeter didn't show any shame at all. Just as Zhang Xiao guessed, she knew who wouldn't care about her nonsense. Obviously Dumbledore was that kind of person.
"I just wanted to point out that some of your views are a bit outdated, Dumbledore, could you please interview you - you know how crazy our readers are about the Goblet of Fire.
Countless owls fly to the newspaper headquarters every day. They are eager to know every detail of the competition. They will say in their letters - Damn it, why hasn't the competition started yet? Why we don't know any details.
So as one of the people in charge of Goblet of Fire, should you respond to these expectations? "
"I would love to hear your willingness to be interviewed, Rita." Dumbledore said, smiling and politely: "But I'm afraid we will have to discuss this issue later.
The wand testing ceremony was about to begin and I had to perform it. "
After saying that, he left directly and asked the warriors to sit down.
In front of a long table where several desks were joined together, the principals and officials sent by the Ministry of Magic were already sitting there. Sitting in the center was Ollivander.
The official sent by the Ministry of Magic was Ludo Bagman from the Sports Department. He stood up with a happy smile on his round face:
"Well - this wand test is to ensure that all contestants' wands function normally and are not damaged. Otherwise, if an accident occurs during a high-intensity battle, it will be over. After all, the backfire of the wand is not a small accident.
Next, I would like to ask Mr. Ollivander to conduct a wand test for everyone, based on the school. "
As soon as Ollivander's name was spoken, whispers of conversation immediately erupted in the classroom. As one of several wand masters in the world, Ollivander enjoys a high reputation, although he thinks he is the best. Bit.
But in fact, there are still a few people with a similar reputation to him. For example, Durmstrang's students bought it from a master named Gregovich, and the same is true for other schools.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Ludo Bagman began to roll call, and each little wizard stepped forward. Ollivander's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear.
