Chapter 266, Interview with the Daily Prophet
After the Transfiguration class in the morning, Bruce and Harry didn't get to the Room of Requirement to train. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Because Fleur came to them, the Daily Prophet was preparing to interview the five contestants.
So in Hermione's "vinegared" eyes, Bruce and Fleur left together.
Rita Skeeter, a middle-aged "pretty lady" with a delicate "big curly" hairstyle, claims to be an ace reporter for the Daily Prophet. There was always a sense of pretentiousness when she spoke, and Bruce's mouth with thick lipstick never stopped from the moment he saw her.
Originally, the interview process was simple, but this Rita Skeeter had to let the five people change into "standard uniforms" to take pictures. In order to end this annoying interview as soon as possible, the five had to change into their "school uniforms", and after taking a few photos, the magnesium powder of the old-fashioned camera almost blinded Bruce.
"Oooh!" Rita Skeeter looked at the five and said smugly, "Look, what a charming five! ”
Listening to the tone, it seems that everything is her credit. Rita Skeeter walked up to the five and raised her chin and said proudly, "Trust me, boys! Your name will surely resound throughout the wizarding world. Five top three players, this has never happened before. ”
Bruce smiled meaningfully, "It's a good piece of big news, isn't it?" ”
"Of course...... Oh! I mean, you're the ones who get the news! Rita Skeeter smiled and walked up to Bruce and said, "Wow, oh! Bruce Sterling, the youngest ever Merlin Medalist and the youngest Triple Finalist...... One! ”
She looked at Harry and walked over. For some reason, Harry felt a creep in her heart when she came over, and her eyes ...... How to describe it? It's like trying to strip you naked from top to bottom, and then look at it with a magnifying glass.
"Look at you, you're all the best in your school. A combination of wisdom and courage, an existence that makes everyone look up! Each of you has accomplished great things that no one else can accomplish in a lifetime! Rita Skeeter sang the praises of the five without disagreeing.
Fleur couldn't take it anymore and said with some annoyance, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Skeeter. Can you start the interview? We have other things to do in the afternoon. ”
Rita Skeeter was not angry, but replied with a smile: "Of course! Of course! What is the true mark of a warrior? I'd love to know myself, let alone my readers, then...... I'll see who comes first? Oh, and start with the smallest! ”
With that, he pulled Harry and headed towards the utility room. Harry kept struggling, and the two of them looked like "girls flirting with innocent little boys"!
"Oh my God! I really don't understand how such a person can become a journalist! Fleur sighed.
Bruce laughed, "It's normal, reporter!" Only by being thick-skinned can you dig up big news. ”
"Nonsense! How can there be such a reason! Fleur said.
Cedric looked at the door and said, "I've heard of this Rita Skeeter. ”
"Oh! Is she really a famous journalist? Fleur asked, surprised.
Cedric said: "It's quite famous. But 'bad name'! Her news has a lot of moisture, and she often reverses black and white in order to win attention. A lot of people hate her. ”
"I hate her too!" Fleur said in disgust.
Bruce said curiously: "This is really a strange thing, since she is such a person, why would the Daily Prophet send her?" ”
Cedric laughs: "That's the magic of Rita Skeeter, although many people have complained about her, she still comes to cover important news." ”
"That's pretty impressive!" Bruce laughed.
"Alright, alright!" Fleur said dissatisfiedly, "What are you talking about her?" Let's talk about ourselves. How's your preparation? ”
Krum confidently said, "I'm ready to take the championship back to Durmstrang!" ”
"Humph!" Fleur sneered, "Really? I hope you succeed. ”
Cedric laughed: "I'm not as confident as Krum, but I've been preparing for a long time, so I'm going to give it my all this time." ”
"What about you? Bruce! Fleur asked.
"Me?" Bruce smiled wryly, "I'm not old enough to be prepared for this for so long, everything is too sudden for me. Now I can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor. ”
Fleur was very dissatisfied with Bruce's words, and immediately said, "How can you say that, since you participated, you have to go all out, but I want to defeat you?" ”
Bruce smiled bitterly: "Yes, in addition to dealing with those games, I also have to deal with a strong opponent like you, and my life is not ordinary." ”
Fleur quipped, "You should be proud to have an opponent like me." ”
"Fleur! Don't say I didn't warn you, don't let Bruce fool you. Cedric laughed.
"Hey, hey! What do you say, Mr. Cedric? Bruce was disgruntled, "Don't spread rumors! ”
Fleur immediately said, "Diggory, what do you mean?" ”
Cedric laughed: "Bruce is famous at Hogwarts, not only has good grades, but also has a very strong strength, which is really jaw-dropping. He defeated trolls in his first year, and he killed a basilisk in his second year. So the Final Three is okay for that,"
"Basilisk!?" Krum said in surprise.
Bruce smiled wryly, "Cedric, don't make fun of these rumors, okay?" ”
Cedric quipped, "Hey, hey! Bruce, don't be unkind! I'm here to help you make a name for yourself in front of your friends from other schools...... Well! Fleur, aren't you surprised at what I said? ”
Fleur's expression was very indifferent when Cedric said Bruce's "great achievements", not that she was not surprised, but that she had already been "surprised"!
Fleur hurriedly said, "I...... I was so surprised that I didn't know what to say! Hehe! ”
At this time, the three of them did not answer, and Fleur suddenly felt very embarrassed. Luckily, Harry who came out in a rage relieved his embarrassment.
"Bang!"
The utility room was pushed away and Harry walked out with an angry look on his face.
Bruce was surprised and asked, "What's wrong?" Harry! ”
Harry gasped for breath and said, "Damn, damn it! ”
"Bruce! Could you please come in? Rita Skeeter stood in the doorway and laughed.
Bruce looked at her in confusion and nodded, "Okay." ”
"Bruce!" Harry stopped Bruce and reminded, "Beware, this woman is really hateful!" ”
"Huh?" Bruce was surprised and said, "What do you mean?" ”
She ...... Anyway, you'll find out later! Harry said angrily.
Bruce walked to the utility room with curiosity, and then ......
"Bruce, how did you manage to hide from the world at only 12 years old!"
"Huh! I'm 14 years old! And I've already said it, I never signed up! ”
"Bruce, I heard you have a girlfriend, may I ask ......"
"I'm sorry, it's my private business."
"Bruce, what do you think of Fleur Delacour!"
"Ahh
"I heard she likes you very much......"
"You...... Where did you hear that? ”
"Bruce, I heard ......"
Rita Skeeter's heart "flutters" every time he asks a question, and now he seems to know why this woman reversed black and white but wasn't fired. Because she can be called the "god of gossip", many of the questions Bruce asked have never been told to outsiders, but she knows. And she always deliberately distorted Bruce's answers, and then ......
"Bang!"
The door to the utility room was pushed open again, and Bruce walked out in a rage.
Harry stood there and smiled wryly, "Look, I'm right! ”
"Beautiful Fleur, would you please come and play?"
After a few minutes......
"Bang!"
Fleur said angrily, "I'm going to complain about this hateful woman! ”
"Big star Krum is your turn!"
The strong Krum swallowed involuntarily, he was actually scared. And then......
"Bang!"
Krum came out and roared, "I...... I'm going to duel her! ”
"Handsome Diggory, please!"
Cedric looked at the smiling woman and really wanted to turn away, and after a few minutes, Diggory Cedric, the most gentleman and best student at Hogwarts, also walked out with an angry face.
"Cedric, how's it going?" Bruce asked.
Cedric said coldly: "Don't talk to me, I'm afraid I'll say those dirty words!" ”
“……”
In the end, Rita Skeeter left satisfied with her "results", leaving five students with depressed faces.
"I can already foresee tomorrow's Daily Prophet!" Harry smiled wryly.
Bruce said, "Forget it! Let's all go back, I don't have the strength to do anything else. ”
Just as the five of them were about to leave, Fleur, who was walking at the end, suddenly stopped Bruce.
"Bruce, wait a minute. I have something to ask you. Fleur said.
Bruce was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's that?" ”
"Come here." Fleur said.
Harry put his arm around Bruce and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't tell Hermione." ”
Cedric chuckled, "I warn you, be careful not to cheat!" ”
"Get out!"
After the three of them left, Fleur angrily walked up to Bruce and stared at him, asking, "What did you say to that woman?" ”
"Huh?" Bruce was stunned and said in surprise, "This ...... What does this mean? I didn't say anything! ”
"Then why did she say ......" Fleur couldn't go on halfway through her speech, and asked with a slightly red face, "Just tell me what you said?" ”
Bruce smiled wryly, "What else can I say?" You haven't learned that Rita Skeeter's mouth. She always explained what I said to another meaning, and in the end she even answered for me. ”
"You really didn't say anything?" Fleur asked suspiciously.
Bruce said helplessly: "I want to say, she has to give me a chance!" ”
Fleur stared at him and said, "Hmph, that's the best!" ”
After saying that, he left, leaving Bruce with a depressed face.
"What the hell is going on today? What exactly did she ask Fleur? ”
The day after he asked this question, Bruce had a "big deal"! (To be continued.) )
