Chapter 208: Rita's Big News
"When the court flowers from France meet the traditional gentleman of England, what kind of sparks will be rubbed between them? The exotic visitor from the ice and snow, the famous Quidditch star who has been in the spotlight, and his own performance in front of the camera is as cold as his hometown, can he find his true love at Hogwarts? And the savior who has gradually grown up, after becoming a warrior, will other girls secretly send autumn waves to him? Or is his sensitive and fragile teenage heart already in his heart at this time? Rita Skeeter, a special correspondent for the Daily Prophet, will take you on a different path to the emotional world of the four warriors. The front page of an issue of the Daily Prophet reads.
After the wand was tested, the Daily Prophet reported on the Triwizard Tournament, and as is customary, Rita Skeeter was in charge of the story.
I have to say that her exaggerated and gorgeous style and fabricated gossip are loved by people at all levels.
Pansy, who lacked entertainment at the time, had the best way to pass the time by reading a book in the hospital room, and it just so happened that her father left the newspaper after a visit.
Leaving aside Rita's arrangement of Harry and Krum, it seemed to her that Malfoy and Fleur's gossip was the best way to attract people, so she wrote about it and managed to catch Pansy's eye at the time.
Well, the newspaper was almost thrown in the trash by Pansy, though that might have been a good ending — at least not shredded.
The report reads:
"I bet they've known each other for a long time, Merlin is on top, and on the day of the dinner I actually offered to give the girl a place to create an opportunity for both of them, what a fool I am, forget it, don't mention it, can you help me be anonymous?" said a Slytherin student who did not want to be named.
"Men and women, they are all warriors who have been selected by the Goblet of Fire, and I don't know if they will continue to spark in the game. Hannah Abbott, one of Hufflepuff's female students, said wistfully.
The above is some random interviews that the author conducted at Hogwarts, obviously, the eyes of the masses are clear, and the report must start from the masses, they are important witnesses of history, and no one can hide from everyone. To add to the persuasiveness of her own essay, Rita Skeeter writes in this way.
However, the words of the parties may be more convincing. The newspaper continued.
"I refuse to be interviewed by you—this is the warrior of Beauxbatons—Fleur Delacour's behavior in the face of the scandal can't help but remind people of what she is running away from, is it because of her shyness that makes it difficult to speak, or is it difficult to express her inner anguish because she likes a future competitor?"
She began to speculate with "malice", but subtly avoided the other protagonist in the incident.
"Then I left Hogwarts for a while, and my instinct from professional journalists told me that it wasn't that simple, that I needed some other evidence, that a great journalist can't just get information in one place, that I need to run faster and ask somewhere else. Rita wrote in the newspaper as a small segment.
"I promise I'm not mistaken, these two warriors from two schools should have known each other when I went to Gringotts to deposit money that day, and they even stopped a Dementor riot together! I promise I'm not mistaken, you'll never forget that girl's charm just by meeting her!" was the answer given by an ordinary businessman, who swore that he was pointing to the picture I had shown him, looking very excited.
"Excellent family style, well, as the sole heir of a family with a huge wealth, but there is no arrogance and lasciviousness, and even only came to Gringotts in the third year for the experience of life, I believe that after he graduates, this future hope star of the wizarding world will surely shine brightly!" Rita did not hesitate to praise her words at this time.
In addition to this, the two also seem to have been in contact at the Quidditch World Cup...... I'm sure I'll be able to investigate the next issue of the newspaper, and dedicated journalists will always be willing to dedicate themselves to peeling back the truth hidden under the fog for the public, whether it is a filthy and ugly reality or a pink and ambiguous scandal. Rita Skeeter didn't forget to brag about herself at the end of the paper.
Even Malfoy could not have imagined that this woman would be so ignorant, and he originally thought that after Lucius became her boss, he would at least restrain himself.
As it turned out, on the day the wand was tested, Rita Skeeter had only interviewed him on the spot, and the shorthand quill was very restrained under her pressure.
The only explanation is that perhaps she thinks this is a way to curry favor with the heir to the new majority shareholder.
Whether it is wizarding society or Muggle society, there is always a different kind of tolerance towards men, and this level of lace news can only be understood as his amazing charm, and Rita's pen also reveals a tendency to "please", and does not hesitate to praise his own praise.
Maybe Rita Skeeter is still complacent about her actions.
And that's all Pansy saw in the hospital.
By the way, there may also be a partially "beautified" "warrior photo", which wizards of the era may not have used a computer to modify the photo, but magic may be enough to achieve this effect.
Rita Skeeter "unintentionally" adjusted the distance between the two warriors in the group photo, and the distance representing ordinary friends instantly became a distance symbolizing intimacy.
Pansy thinks she's naïve, but she can't help herself from doing such a childish thing—innocent newspapers turn into pieces of paper in an instant.
And today she saw the real person, and the sense of crisis couldn't help but completely explode from the bottom of her heart.
Pan Xizai carefully looked at the girl in front of her, with long silver hair like a waterfall and seductive blue eyes. A tall figure, it seems that he can't be compared in every way.
Oh, and I've just changed the only outfit that might win, and Beauxbatons students don't have any restrictions on what they can wear except for big gatherings.
Even though she had lost her mind just now, her face was full of anxiety, she looked a little hysterical, and the clothes on her body were also a mess, but it highlighted a sense of delicateness, an impulse to pity, and longed to let people hold her in her arms and comfort her.
If you have good looks, it is Xizi who is fond of your heart, and on the contrary, it is Dongshi who is following suit.
And most crucially, she was old enough, and the key reason for Malfoy's rejection at the time was also her age.
Just when Pansy was still struggling with these things, Fleur suddenly asked Malfoy, "Who is this?"
"Sister?" Before Malfoy could speak, Gabrielle's somewhat weak voice came from a white drapery bed, breaking the unspeakable embarrassment, for Fleur walked over as soon as she heard her sister's call.
"Lady Delacour, your sister is much better. Madam Pomfrey, keenly aware of the unusual atmosphere, had rushed to Gabrielle's bedside, and the hand that had been stretched out to sense her body temperature was now withdrawn from Gabrielle's smooth forehead.
"Ahh Gabrielle sneezed at this time, "I'm sorry, sister, for worrying you." Gabrielle felt a little remorseful, as if her illness would distract her sister and definitely have an impact on future matches.
"By the way, can you help me get me a cup of hot water, Draco?" Fleur looked at her sister with concern, and shouted to Malfoy without looking back, her final bite slow, very intimate and natural.
