Chapter 885 makes so much sense
“That woman definitely did it on purpose.”
In the hall of Hogwarts Castle, the girls who had read the latest issue of the Daily Prophet were all furious because Rita Skeeter said nothing about Albert's existence in her article about the Triwizard Tournament. Not mentioned.
The front page news of this issue of the Daily Prophet is not so much a report on the Triwizard Tournament as it is an exclusive interview with Harry Potter. The first page is directly occupied by Harry's photo, and the entire article is about Harry Potter, describing his personal life in detail.
As for the names of the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang warriors alongside Harry Potter, they only appear in the last line of this article, and even their names are deliberately misspelled.
How does this newspaper not make Abbott's supporters angry?
What is Harry in their eyes?
That was a thief who used shameful means to steal the glory of Albert's warriors.
Therefore, on the day the newspaper published it, many students sent letters of protest to the Daily Prophet. Some senior students even sent shouting letters and burned the quills on Rita Skeeter's desk to ashes. This special reporter almost got angry and twisted his nose.
Not mentioning Albert is not her problem. It was Albert himself who refused to report it. But how did the students at Hogwarts know about these things? How did the editor of the "Daily Prophet" know about these things? Anyway, he will be blamed. On to Rita Skeeter.
“That guy definitely did it on purpose!”
Rita Skeeter was wronged, but she didn't say it.
Facing the angry girls in front of him, Albert was very calm after reading the Daily Prophet.
"Yes, it's intentional. We should continue to send yelling letters to Rita Skeeter." Fred started to make noises. Anyway, he also saw that Rita Skeeter was very unhappy, and that woman kept looking for him. Father is in trouble.
"Actually, I asked Rita Skeeter not to mention my name in the newspaper." Albert said calmly, putting down the newspaper.
Others around were suddenly dumbfounded. What does this mean?
What do you mean, I asked Rita Skeeter not to mention my name in the newspaper.
"Why?"
"Literally, you should all have read Rita Skeeter's article to see what her Harry Potter has become." Albert turned to the second page and pointed to the newspaper. One line says, "Listen carefully to this paragraph:
I think it’s my parents who gave me strength. I know that if they could see me now, they would be very proud of me.
…Yes, I still cry for them sometimes at night, and I feel no shame in admitting it.
…I know nothing can hurt me in the game because they are watching over me…”
"Honestly, I sympathize with Potter." Albert's tone paused and continued, "I dare say he would not say such shameful words. This must be Rita Skeeter's deliberate writing. It’s simply disgusting to attract everyone’s attention, so if it appears in her article, it’s better not to appear at all.”
This article is simply a public execution of Harry, and it will definitely become the dark history of the savior Potter in the future.
Albert put down the newspaper and said: "I think if Potter reads this article, he will probably be so ashamed that he wants to find a place to dig a hole and bury himself!"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, then read the newspaper report about Harry, and suddenly felt that what Albert said was really reasonable. Rita Skeeter liked to process what others said so that he could report it, rather than not being reported. , at least there won’t be any disgusting stuff in the newspapers.
Albert's words spread quickly in the school, and everyone did understand. However, he still did not intend to stop sending curses to Rita Skeeter, which also made Harry hate him. Recently, more and more students are wearing "Harry's Stinky Shit" badges.
Hermione also became the subject of discussion among the girls, because she became Harry's first love, and Rita Skeeter mentioned Hermione's amazing beauty in the newspaper, which became the reason for many girls to laugh at Hermione and giggle. Some Slytherin girls even mocked Hermione as a chipmunk.
As one of the few female friends who have a good relationship with Albert, Hermione is the envy of many girls. This article by Rita Skeeter directly attracted a wave of firepower to Hermione, but she did not pay much attention to it. , still living his own life every day, ignoring those gossips.
Harry couldn't do it to Hermione's level. This report attracted a lot of firepower to him and made him very angry, because Harry never said those words that disgusted him, nor did he. Let Harry fully understand Rita Skeeter's true identity.
“Would you like a handkerchief, Potter, so that you won’t cry your eyes out in Transfiguration class?” Malfoy had ridiculed Harry more than once to avenge the last time he was silenced by Harry.
"certainly."
Harry walked towards Malfoy, who had just laughed at him, with a straight face.
Malfoy was also a little surprised. He probably didn't expect Harry Potter to actually walk towards him. Goyle and Crabbe quickly stood in front of Harry, trying to prevent Harry from approaching Malfoy.
“Aren’t you going to give me a handkerchief?”
Harry looked at the cowering Malfoy, with a triumphant smile on his lips. This was a trick he learned from Albert, and it really worked.
As long as I am not embarrassed, you will be the one who is embarrassed.
“Get away Potter, who wants to give you a handkerchief?” Malfoy waved his hand in disgust, as if trying to drive away a strange beast.
"You just said you were going to give it to me." With that, Harry took out his wand from his pocket, quickly cast a spell to immobilize Goyle and Crabbe, and forced himself towards Malfoy.
In recent times, he has been trained by Black and Lupin, and his skills in using magic have improved a lot compared to those students in the school who do not use magic often.
"You guy?" Before Malfoy could take out his wand, Harry stared at him again. He reached out with disgust, took out Malfoy's handkerchief from his pocket, put it into his own pocket, and said with a smile: " Thanks for the handkerchief, so I don’t have to worry about crying in Transfiguration class.”
Everyone was stunned by Harry's actions. They never expected that Harry would admit it like this and do such an incredible thing.
At least, no one will dare to mock him about this matter in the future.
This scene also left Hermione and Ron stunned.
"you…"
"Albert's advice is that we should not indulge these guys. Ignoring them will only make them push forward. If you want to shut them up, you must show a strong enough attitude. I think what he said is really reasonable, Albert I will be a good teacher in the future." Harry was in a good mood. Ever since the duel with the Acromantula, he suddenly felt a lot more confident.
As for the handkerchief, of course I don’t want to ask for it. I will wait until Malfoy’s birthday and send the handkerchief back to him another day.
Speaking of which, when is Malfoy’s birthday?
"I thought you didn't like him," Hermione said tentatively.
Even Harry had to admit this. Albert helped clean up many of Hagrid's messes.
After changing his mentality, Harry suddenly fell in love with his new friend. At least Albert's suggestions helped Harry solve a lot of troubles.
Since the handkerchief incident, there have been fewer people mocking Harry, because they found that when they mocked Harry, the other party could still smile and chat with them.
For example, if someone teases Harry about when he became the top student in school, Harry will say something like I have become a warrior in school, so why am I not the top student?
Anyway, Harry felt that his skin suddenly became much thicker, and he also liked to go directly to the opposite side to argue with others. Harry felt particularly happy when he saw the people who had ridiculed him being speechless.
Abbott had already heard about Porter's deeds, but he was surprised by the opponent's performance. How long had he been holding it in before he burst out in one breath?
Albert doesn't care about this. He is currently accompanying Fred, George and Lee Jordan to inspect Zuko's joke shop, absorbing the advantages of this joke shop, and preparing to apply these advantages to their future joke shop.
To this end, the three of them got up early in the morning. After breakfast, they hurried to Hogsmeade on their broomsticks.
Why ride a broomstick?
Of course it’s because riding a broom is faster and saves time.
Since Albert's technology of the Seamless Stretch Spell gradually matured, he helped three people make three Seamless Stretch Bags as their Christmas gifts. Now I can give them gifts in advance. With this magical storage pocket, many things have become much easier.
The four of them were among the first batch of students to arrive in Hogsmeade, and they could carefully observe Zuko's shop as planned. Fred was chatting with Zuko, diverting his attention, and paid for the dung bombs purchased by several people along with several other joke props.
“I think the doll that vomits candy can be used as a reference...”
Albert took George's notes and read some of the references recorded above. Zuko's Joke Shop is indeed a bit outdated. Maybe this is the magical world, a slow-paced life. It is not like the rapid changes in his previous life. Many things have changed. It takes a long time for change to occur.
“Actually, you can also learn from other stores. If we can put it to use, we can use it.”
Albert believes that a joke shop should be able to bring novelty, fun and joy to customers, as if they have entered a fairy tale world.
However, this sounds like a dream. The size of a store is very limited. If you cannot blatantly use the traceless expansion spell to expand the store, how to place the goods in the store is a question worth thinking about.
“Let’s go, let’s go to other stores.” Fred thought it made sense.
"I'm afraid I have to leave first." Albert took out his pocket watch and looked at the time and said, "I have an appointment later."
"Dating."
"Dating."
"Dating."
“I’m really envious.” The three of them said in unison.
“If you’re envious, go find a girlfriend by yourself.” Albert noticed that Isobel was standing on the street not far away, waving in this direction.
“Forget it, I think opening a store is more important.”
“It’s a disaster there.”
“It’s not like we go into the Ministry of Magic to be criticized.”
The three of them waved to Albert and went to Devis Bans' shop. Since they had Albert's funding, they naturally would not give up the opportunity to show off their talents.
As for falling in love, it is simply a waste of their precious time.
Wasting time is killing money and killing people.
Looking at the three people leaving, Albert sighed softly, but he could understand the three people's thoughts. If you don’t have a plug-in, you probably have to work hard for the future!
“What are you thinking about?”
Isobel walked towards this side, spread her hands and gave Albert a hug.
“Where do you want to go?” Albert took Isobel’s hand and asked, “Mrs. Puddy’s Teahouse?”
“Let’s go to the Fengya Wizard Clothing Store to pick out Christmas gifts first!” Isobel pulled Albert towards the Fengya Wizard Clothing Store.
Albert would choose gifts for his old friends every year. For example, in recent years, he would give Dumbledore a pair of odd-style wool socks.
“It seems that you have encountered a lot of troubles recently.” Isobel noticed that Albert was distracted while picking things.
"It's all the fault of the Yule Ball. Sometimes being too popular is not a good thing." Albert muttered, "Especially after you graduate..."
Albert picked out a lot of woolen products, such as woolen coats, woolen hats, woolen socks, woolen gloves and woolen scarves.
“So, you were pestered by girls?” Isobel raised her eyebrows.
“Well, it doesn’t matter, there is just a tough guy.” Albert had a headache when he thought of Yanila.
“That Miss Yanila?” Isobel was not ignorant, Katrina would write to her every half month.
"Yes, the singer lady, I didn't expect that she actually ran to Hogwarts." Albert seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly changed the subject and said, "Next summer, I plan to let them leave England quietly."
“Next summer?” Isobel frowned and said, “Then our...will they participate?”
“Of course I will participate.”
It took the two of them half an hour to pick out gifts, including gifts for their own family members. Isobel also picked out a pair of woolen gloves for her sister.
Many girls who came here to shop were surprised when they saw the two of them. They probably didn’t expect Albert to buy things with others.
After leaving Fengya Wizard Clothing Store, Isobel found an opportunity to put everything into a seamlessly stretched leather bag, and then went shopping with Albert at Honeydukes Candy Store. Honeydukes Candy was packed, though, so they planned to go to the Three Broomsticks for a drink first.
Just as the two were about to walk into the Three Broomsticks bar, they heard a familiar voice: "Is she your girlfriend?"
