Ryan saw the door to the broomroom shut, and found a corner to stand there, after all, he didn't know the others in the room. Fortunately, it didn't take a few minutes, just as Bagman beckoned everyone to sit down. Dumbledore came down from upstairs.

"Where's Harry?" Dumbledore, who had come down from upstairs, glanced around the room and asked Ryan.

"I was dragged by the female reporter for an interview. Ryan replied, pointing to the door between the broomsticks.

Dumbledore stepped forward and slammed the door open between the broomsticks, then looked down on Rita Skeeter and Harry.

"Dumbledore!" Rita Skeeter immediately responded, and then said loudly, looking overjoyed—"How are you?" she said, standing up and holding out a large, manly hand to Dumbledore, "Have you read my summer article about the International Confederation of Wizards?"

"That's wonderful," said Dumbledore, his eyes burning, "I love reading the part where you describe me as a rigid old madman." ”

"Professor Dumbledore, you're a good guy. Ryan glanced out the window at this time and thought silently.

However, Dumbledore's counterattack was of little use to a thick-skinned person like Rita Skeeter, and she said very naturally, "I just wanted to make it clear that some of your views are a bit outdated, Dumbledore, and many wizards out there—"

"I'd love to hear your frank reasoning, Rita," Dumbledore said, smiling slightly and bowing politely, "but I'm afraid we'll have to talk about that later." The wand detection ritual is about to begin, and if we continue to grind, the ritual will not be able to proceed. “

Harry looked tired of the reporter and quickly took the opportunity to sit down in the chair next to Ryan.

After that, there is the wand inspection, and every warrior will go through a precise test after handing the wand up, and then Mr. Ollivander will tell him about his current state and function, and declare that he is in good condition and ready for the next test.

In this examination, Mr. Ollivander consciously or unconsciously highlights the merits of his work and makes some observations about wands made by other craftsmen. Of course, these views, while seemingly neutral, are actually somewhat demeaning to others. After all, as a competitor, how can it be possible to say good things for each other.

Of course, checking wands is a traditional part of Triwizard Tournament, just like checking weapons before soldiers go to battle.

When Professor Dumbledore announced that the inspection was over, Harry was the first to jump up and prepare to slip away. But he was stopped by the photographer.

"Picture, Dumbledore, picture!" Bagman shouted excitedly, "The referee and the warrior have a group photo, what do you think, Rita?" Bagman would have liked to show his face more.

"Well, let's take a group photo first," Rita Skeeter, who had always wanted to make a big news, naturally didn't let go of this opportunity, and her eyes fell on Harry again, "Maybe a few more solo photos later." ”

Perhaps due to the large number of contestants in this competition, Rita Skeeter only chose Harry, Krum, and Fleur as the main force of the solo photo shoot after taking a group photo highlighting Harry, while Ryan and the other two contestants were just taken a solo photo and were chased away.

After the photo shoot was over, Rita Skeeter grabbed Harry and began to do a one-man interview. Seeing him look at him with a pleading look, Ryan could only make a helpless expression and quickly slipped away. As he went out, he noticed that the warriors of the other two schools looked at Harry with a look of envy, as if they really didn't know the dangers of society.

The day after the interview, Harry woke up and had a blunt exchange with Ron before heading to the auditorium for breakfast. On the way, he noticed a lot of people looking at him with strange eyes. And this feeling came to a head when he was at the edge of Gryffindor's table: everyone looked at him with a mixture of curiosity, disgust, and admiration.

"What the hell is going on?" Harry finally asked out loud as he couldn't stand the atmosphere. The classmates around you, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other for a moment, and then Neville hands him a copy of the Daily Prophet.

Harry opened the newspaper and found that Rita Skeeter's article about the Triwizard Tournament had been published. The article is not so much a report on the tournament as it is a depiction of Harry's personal life. Much of the first page of the newspaper was occupied by a picture of Harry, and the entire article (to be continued to the second, sixth, and seventh editions) was about Harry, with the names of Fleur and Krum squeezed into the last line of the article and misspelled. Ryan and the other two contestants simply didn't have names, and were directly brushed off by one of the other contestants.

The second, sixth, and seventh pages of the newspaper were all about Harry's emotional problems. It's all about the relationship between Harry and Ron. Rita writes a lot of disgusting tirades, and she also asks others what they think of him.

Harry finally found his first love at Hogwarts. His close friend, Colin Creevey, said that Harry was inseparable from a boy named Ron Weasley.

But this year, a cold war broke out between them due to Ron's apprehension about Harry's participation in the sport. According to reliable sources, it has been a long time since a word has been spoken between the two of them.

Well, it seems that Harry could still have made up a scandal without Hermione. After this report was sent, Harry and Ron's relationship deteriorated, and even now the two of them tried not to show up on the same occasion except for class.

After two full weeks of preparation, Ryan felt that he was almost ready. On the Saturday before the first program began, the school approved the visit to Hogsmeade for students from Year 3 onwards. Ryan also took the opportunity to relax.

"It's good that Rita Skeeter didn't target me that day, otherwise I would have been miserable now. Ryan said to Hermione next to him as he ate a piece of marshmallow that floated in front of him like a cloud. "I heard Neville say that he and Ron had swapped bunks, and now Ron slept in the bed furthest from Harry in the dormitory. ”

"But that reporter is completely making things up. Hermione was a little puzzled, "Why did such a stupid rumor circulate in school for two weeks?"

"No way, it's jealousy. After all, Harry didn't show his strength directly like me, breaking through the age circle. A lot of people thought that Harry must have done something dishonorable, and they probably thought they had a chance to be in the spotlight. Besides, the wizarding world is so boring. This kind of nonsense news can satisfy the overly empty hearts of some wizards. Ryan explained to Hermione why she was in this state.

After visiting a few shops, the two men, who felt a little cold, went to three brooms and drank a glass of heated butterbeer, and when they felt that their bodies were warm, they greeted Ginny, who was sitting alone and looked a little strange. Then I went back to school.

When they reached the meadow in front of the castle, they suddenly heard a wolf howl from the Forbidden Forest.

"Wolf has something to do with me, I'll go over and check it out, you go to the library first. After hearing the wolf howl, Ryan greeted Hermione next to him, and then ran quickly in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.
