Chapter 11 Making trouble
“Sir?” Truman took a deep breath and said loudly, “You just left like this?”
“What’s the matter?” Nutley looked at Truman in confusion.
“In other words, I’m fine?” Truman was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the Ministry of Magic.
"Yes, it was a complete mistake." Nutley's tone was formulaic.
Truman glanced at Albert next to him and said coldly, "I need an apology, sir. Do you know how much this letter has affected me? Do you know that when I found out that I was inexplicably facing trial and being imprisoned?" The risk of expulsion, how angry you are, you just say it’s okay now, just like sending me away, do you think a child is easy to bully, sir?”
Truman's tone became stronger. The Ministry of Magic actually slapped its **** and planned to leave, which really made him very angry. Not long ago, Albert had done some advance work for him, and his slightly trembling tone gradually became tougher, "I need an apology from the Ministry of Magic. This matter is entirely caused by your mistakes and has nothing to do with me. Relationship, and... the Ministry of Magic must compensate me for mental damages." In fact, if the Ministry of Magic apologized to him, Truman would not ask for any mental damages, but the other party's behavior really made him feel extremely annoyed and angry.
"What, I didn't hear clearly." Nutley's expression froze, and even the expression on Dumbledore's face became very exciting.
“Sorry, there’s also mental damages, sir.” Truman clenched his fists, “100 Galleons.”
“I’m sorry kid, I’m sorry to cause you trouble, but there is no precedent for mental damages...” Nutley couldn’t help but raised his eyebrows.
"I don't accept your apology, sir, you have no sincerity." Truman said angrily, "You think I'm just a child and can be bullied?"
Nutley and Dumbledore looked at each other.
"I think it's very reasonable, gentlemen. I was there at the time. When Truman rushed towards me after reading the letter, I even suspected that he was crazy. It took me a long time to calm him down and suggested that he give Deng Principal Bullydo writes a letter." Albert looked at the two people in front of him calmly, without any fear. To be honest, he didn't like the Ministry of Magic, at least when he read the novels, and even more so after seeing the way the Ministry of Magic dealt with it.
If you make such a big mistake, you should at least give a sincere apology! Bastard, why don't you pat your **** and leave.
Speaking of clothing, they are just a group of guys taking advantage of their power. No wonder Voldemort made them look like that.
"Also, I also think your apology is insincere." Albert narrowed his eyes and said, "I have never seen an adult like you. One of my teachers is such a guy."
Nutley's face suddenly turned dark.
"Of course, you can just treat us as children." Albert suddenly smiled, reached out and patted Truman on the shoulder and said, "Some people are just like that, don't pay too much attention, go back, I'm a little hungry, I'll pass another day Owl contact, maybe we can chat about studying.”
Nutley left with a dark face, not knowing what he would face.
"Goodbye, principal." Albert nodded slightly towards Dumbledore and said, "Thank you very much for helping Truman solve this problem. If he is expelled because of me, I will feel guilty about it."
“Goodbye Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Truman.” Principal Dumbledore also left.
"Those guys are really annoying." Truman shook his fist and said, "What kind of attitude is that? It's really annoying. I really want to punch him."
“How about it, do you want to write a letter to the Daily Prophet?” Albert looked at Truman with a smile after Dumbledore left.
“Yes, this matter must be exposed.”
“Remember, I will share half of the reward you get.” Albert was not afraid of making trouble at all. The rewards for this task were very rich, including 3,000 experience points and an additional 25 Galleons.
"Okay, you write it. By the way, are your family members really lawyers?" Truman couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, they are all lawyers, so I am actually quite good at this aspect. What's more, we are right, society sympathizes with the weak, and people will definitely like to see the Ministry of Magic scandal appear in the Daily Prophet. Discuss it with the reporter when the time comes. For a moment, just keep our names and photos out of the newspapers, and keep the letter from the Ministry of Magic."
Albert knew a guy who was suitable for this job.
…
At the Daily Prophet headquarters in London, England, Rita Skeeter is thinking about today's special issue. There hasn't been any big news to write about lately, which has been a bit nerve-wracking for her.
People like to read big news, whether it is true or the content is exaggerated. As long as the newspaper can attract readers' attention, in Rita Skeeter's opinion, it is a successful newspaper.
She was asking her assistant, trying to find some news that would spark more topics.
Soon after, several letters were placed on Rita Skeeter’s desk. She opened the envelope, and there were some who scolded her, and some who revealed gossip to her. However, one letter successfully attracted Rita Skeeter's attention. After reading the letter, Rita Skeeter knew that this This was the news she wanted, because there was a photo attached to it.
A few days later, the Ministry of Magic's Department for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic became famous. In the Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter described it as a department that always makes mistakes, refuses to apologize for its mistakes, and has an extremely bad attitude in handling problems.
Nutley was singled out, and the unfortunate guy became the target of countless verbal denunciations.
Rita Skeeter wrote at the end of the article that the victim expressed doubts about whether the Ministry of Magic was still worthy of trust, and he exposed the incident to the Daily Prophet and asked for 50 Galleons as a spirit that the Ministry was unwilling to pay. compensate. This was more than the fee would have been paid by the Ministry of Magic, and they owed the kid a sincere apology. "
After Nutley saw this newspaper, he suddenly felt that his original decision was really bad. He remembered what the boy said: Do you think a child is easy to bully, sir? "
However, the other party proved with facts that he is not easy to bully.
Shortly after the newspaper came out, it immediately caused a sensation.
Nutley was forced to take a temporary leave of absence from his job because the Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Magic was suffering and many people were sending letters there.
Rita Skeeter used her pen to tell everyone what the destructive power of words is. After getting the oral descriptions and descriptions of the two people, the reporter skillfully used these words to fabricate the content she expected, and by the way The Ministry of Magic is in a mess.
She was not worried about the unreliability of the content at all, because it also included the contents of a letter from the Department of Prohibition of the Misuse of Magic of the Ministry of Magic, so there was no way to evade it.
Truman was in a very happy mood. He received 25 Galleons as spiritual compensation. This money was a wealth that he could not imagine at all.
Moreover, the female reporter did not expose his and Albert's names. The matter was just as Albert had guessed. The Daily Prophet made this incident a headline, severely criticizing the Ministry of Magic, and by the way, the reporter on the other end Guy is out of luck.
Albert was also in a good mood. His mission was completed and he gained Truman's friendship. They often communicated through owls during the summer vacation, and the other party could give him some help with magic.
As for the Galleons allocated, Albert used it to order the Daily Prophet.
