Chapter 136: The Prophet's Counterattack

On the night Peter Pettigrew appeared, all the media in the wizarding world wanted to smell the shark of blood, and Fudge even approached the Daily Prophet in advance, hoping that they would make a big splash, and they did make a lot of efforts, and the Hogwarts reporter was sent by them that night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But in the end, they only mentioned it in the newspaper the next day.

Almost no one delved into the reason, they were just keen to belittle the newspaper with the highest circulation, thinking that the editor-in-chief in charge might have a water in his head, and Fudge was also very unhappy, why he was so diligent in the first place, and dropped the chain when he should have publicized it positively.

At the same time, many tabloids even thought they had an opportunity.

But he didn't know that this was the beginning of his own annexation.

If the whole environment is deceived, then it may be worse than it is, and you see, isn't that newspaper immune? This is the habitual thinking of all people.

But what if there is a media outlet that keeps itself sober?

Unfortunately, the Daily Prophet was the sole survivor.

As early as the Christmas holiday, Lucius directly approached the management of the Daily Prophet and reached an agreement, and the method of first suppressing and then promoting can achieve great results at any time.

Even Rita Skeeter, who was very fond of witches, received a letter against her, and it did not write anything else, but told her to be silent for a while, at least during this time, she could not write strange words with her shorthand quill.

If anything is wrong, it is a pity that there may be one more judge in the wizarding court, a defendant who came to power for illegally failing to register Animagus.

Perhaps with the addition of wiretapping, Rita Skeeter used her Animagus to obtain information.

To the effect that this woman can only choose to bow her head.

What's more, she has now been given a great opportunity, and now is the time when she is needed.

The long silence was going to drive her crazy, and she needed to confide, using her magical, magical quill, to vent her previous inhibitions feverishly.

It's exciting to think about it, all the media in the wizarding world are being played around by a traitor who deceives the world and steals his reputation, what an ironic thing, these days she has not been less ridiculed by those annoying juniors, and today is the opportunity to slap her face in turn.

Pompous and sensational words poured out from under her quill pen and turned into the reports that Hermione was seeing now.

"This is the finest young man I have ever seen, with graceful manners, good conversation, and a perfect expression of his good upbringing...... "Rita Skeeter writes with admiration, full of beauty.

Just kidding? How dare she not please the heir of the shareholder's family, not to mention that person did not know how to get her handle.

Lucius paid a secret and a certain amount of fortune at that time, and became one of the shareholders of the Daily Prophet.

With this opportunity, the Daily Prophet has not only received a great deal of investment, but its prestige has also risen to a new level, and how rare it is that everyone is drunk and sober, and how precious it is to maintain the integrity of a news media despite the instigation of the public, and the newspapers that have been deceived before are now a joke.

These are small losers.

There is no doubt that the big loser, except for Peter Pettigrew from the East Window incident, is Cornelius Fudge.

This big oolong completely dealt a devastating blow to his reputation, and the public opinion that had only been slightly redeemed by Peter Pettigrew completely fell into the abyss.

Wronged an innocent man for twelve years, and then made a shameful traitor a guest of honor, this is the Minister of Magic this term?

Fudge could only make a pale public relations statement, saying that he was not the one who was in power at the time, and that he was not responsible for the unjust case.

Unfortunately, that's all there is to it.

Only then did he realize that he might have been pitted by that kid, but this dumb man could only swallow it, flip the table and spread everything out?

Someone has to believe that.

What's more, Malfoy has already plucked himself out completely.

The front page of the Daily Prophet reads:

A man who doesn't fall twice in the same place couldn't have been more appropriate for Draco Malfoy, the treacherous Peter Pettigrew would never have imagined that the Imperius Curse that he thought was foolproof would fail, and many people didn't know that when the boy was in his second year, he made a big mistake that almost disgraced Hogwarts, if readers are interested, they can pre-order my latest work......"

Rita Skeeter's pen turned, and the following text read: "That's when Peter Pettigrew's unearthly knowledge was revealed, and he may have forgotten the fact that the effectiveness of the Imperius Curse slowly waned with the number of uses, and that his casting had only succeeded once against Draco Malfoy, and the student had even led him into a trap by tricks." ”

Peter Pettigrew who had used the Imperius Curse was so carried away that he thought that he would be able to strike first, and that it would be his greatest failure to catch Sirius Black, and that he would never have imagined that his Imperius Curse would fail in front of a student. ”

Little did he know that Sirius had sent us a letter explaining all of this earlier, and interested readers could watch it later on the page......

"At first, we at the Daily Prophet were skeptical of this letter, but out of caution, we would rather believe it than believe it, and we sent our professional reporters to investigate, after all, if his letter is true, then this may be the biggest injustice ever committed in the wizarding world. ”

"Then we got a lot of clues, some of which were very easy to obtain, such as Sirius Black's untried cast into Azkaban, and he never confessed his guilt, which seemed to people at the time to be a sign of his lack of remorse, but now it seems that there is a reasonable explanation......"

Our reporter also went out of his way to interview the Aurors who participated in the arrest back then, and only those who had experienced it had the right to speak, and their answers were surprisingly unanimous: "I didn't see Blake commit the crime with my own eyes, but our superiors asked us to arrest him, and we had to obey orders." ”

"I was even ready to sacrifice at the time. That's what one of the Aurors said, "But Sirius didn't resist our capture in the slightest, and we didn't even use a spell before he was captured." ”

"At that time, we only thought that it was a good thing not to sacrifice, but the more time passed, the more unreasonable it felt. ”

"If he had been truly loyal to the Mystery, he could have fought us again, and I'm pretty sure he had the ability to fight back. These were the words of another Auror at the time.
