Faced with Allen's unexpected invitation, Rita Skeeter immediately said with a smile on her face, "Great, Principal Harris, it's my pleasure." ”

"This is not a good place to talk..."Alan looked at the reporters around him and raised his head in the direction of the Ministry of Magic to signal to Rita, "Let's go into the ministry and talk about it in detail." ”

Skeeter was wearing a banana yellow robe today, and she quickly explained a few words to the pot-bellied photographer next to her, and walked towards Alan, who was standing on the side, Penelope, noticed this, she immediately stared, and immediately followed and approached Alan.

Alan looked at Penelope's serious and vigilant appearance, and secretly laughed in his heart, but when Allen's eyes looked at Rita's appearance of being dressed like a butterfly wearing flowers and looking particularly awkward, he sighed helplessly at Penelope's suspicious behavior...

Skeeter didn't notice this, she quickly approached Alan, giggling in what she thought was charming, her big chin kept shaking - but then she felt Penello's cold gaze, seeing the famous female devil in the Auror office, Skeeter's heart chilled, thinking of the relationship between this female Auror and Alan Harris she had heard, she immediately understood Penelo's thoughts, and took a few steps away from Alan with some fear, put away the flattering smile, her body no longer trembled, and her demeanor seemed more dignified and steady.

"Rita, don't worry, Penelope is my bodyguard, and I have something to talk about with her later. Seeing that the atmosphere had become a little awkward, Alan found a reason for Penelope to come with her.

"Miss Cuthart's name has long been heard, and I think it's fitting to have her with Principal Harris. After currying favor with Penelope on the way forward, Skeeter couldn't wait to say, "When I first saw you, I knew that you would definitely achieve great things, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, you once again defeated the mysterious man, you are the strongest wizard worthy of the name... Principal Harris, if there's anything you need me to write about, just give me a command, and the Daily Prophet will be happy to do it for Harris. ”

"The Daily Prophet, as the official media in partnership with the Ministry of Magic, should maintain its relative impartiality and supremacy. Seeing Rita, Alan explained simply, "I invited you for a more personal purpose, and it has nothing to do with the Daily Prophet." ”

Skeeter didn't ask any more questions, after all, the "Daily Prophet" does not belong to the Harris family's private property, and now the other party is on the cusp because of some actions, Harris seems to want to create a paper media that really belongs to the Harris family - Rita thinks that the other party probably likes to be good at talking nonsense... Ability to speak well.

The three of them sat down in one of the Ministry's reception rooms, and Penelope, who had become a little in a good mood, expertly commanded the teapots and teacups to fly over, pouring steaming black tea into each bone china teacup.

After sitting down, Alan didn't make too many detours and asked directly, "Rita, I remember that you have a green 'shorthand quill pen', can this pen be used for writing in addition to writing press releases?"

Skeeter heard the meaning of Alan's words clearly, and didn't expect the other party to really want her to write Rita's jeweled glasses, and his eyes suddenly widened: "Minister Harris?

"It's a series of long stories, and I'm expecting to write seven... But the first one, it's probably only about 200,000 words," Alan leaned back on the couch and asked Skeeter, "I'll give you an outline and some intelligence to write later, how long will it take to finish?"

"Please give me three days, in fact my pen and I should be faster, but this is Principal Harris's business, I'm sure I'll have to check and polish it...."Skeeter raised his eyebrows, and his tone was more confident than ever, "I'm not one of those third-rate women who serialized in some "Starting Point" magazine, and the feedback is getting less and less... I have to stay up until two o'clock to write 2,000 words a day... It's like Mr. Amos Diggory going to the toilet...."

"Good... I think our cooperation will be a pleasure... And it can give you more rewards than you can imagine. Alan took a sip of his tea, not understanding the writers' complaints, and leaned back on the couch, "Do I need to give you a synopsis of the story first?"

Skeeter's smile flickered slightly, and she guessed whether Alan wanted to promote Hogwarts or write an autobiography of herself because of the recent momentum: "It would be nice if I didn't delay you." She opened her crocodile pouch, pulled out her shorthand pen, pulled over a piece of parchment on the table, and swiped back and forth on it to write a note.

"This book, the story is mainly set at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and describes the story of the protagonist, a young wizard student, Harry Potter, an immortal boy, studying life and adventures at Hogwarts... The first book is probably that Harry, with the help of his good friends, broke through many difficulties and protected the Philosopher's Stone..."Alan briefly described the general plot, "So the specific title of the first story will be "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and as for the specific story outline, I will ask my phoenix to send you later... By the way, you don't need to feed it, it won't eat, and please don't try to pet it, it's not very good-tempered..."

Skeeter was surprised, she didn't expect Alan to use the legendary savior Harry Potter as the protagonist, and to completely remove his own existence from the story, "Headmaster Harris, if this book is written like this... I'm afraid it won't sell well. Her shorthand pen hung above the parchment and stopped swiping, "If you were writing an autobiography of yours, in its current form, it would definitely sell very well..."

"Alan, why did you choose that Harry Potter as the protagonist?" Penelope, who was turning his brain to fight for a heroine when he heard that Alan was going to write a book, also said with some disappointment, "What's so good about his reckless adventures?"

"Miss Kerry Watt is right, and in fact I think that if you were writing your autobiography of Principal Alan Harris, Miss Kerry Watt could have been included in the story... It's very interesting. Skeeter saw through Penelope's intentions and complimented him, hoping that she would persuade Alan to change his mind and write a story of his own.

"Only the first one is in this style, and as the story progresses, this series will be darker and darker than the last, so there's no need to worry...," Alan explained calmly. "As for what you're worried about not selling, that's not a problem, because this book isn't for wizards, it's for Muggles... My own story is too smooth sailing, and even more literary if it were Harry's case..."

"Headmaster Harris!" the green shorthand quill fell to the paper with a snap as the female reporter screamed, and Rita Skeeter scratched at her delicately combed curls in spite of the image, "Headmaster Harris! I'm afraid this will violate the Secrecy Act and make the International Federation of Wizards trouble for us..."

"Who told you to talk to Eren like that?!Pay attention to your identity!" Penelope, who was next to her, saw that Rita was disobedient to Alan, and forgot that they had just been united for a short time, and her voice became a little sharp, "You'd better do it for me according to Alan's wishes!"

Suddenly and loudly reprimanded by the other party, Skeeter glanced at Penelope in horror and hung his head to make a sound, and the jeweled glasses he was wearing slipped down the bridge of his nose.

"Don't be like Penelope, Rita has such worries for our own good..."Ellen stroked Penelo's shoulder to calm her down, and then personally commanded the teapot to refill Skeeter's tea, "If the International Federation of Wizards asks for responsibility... I'm solely responsible for this, I don't think it's a big deal at all, Muggle fantasies are more than the wizarding world exaggerates... And haven't you always wondered why I wrote it? I actually have a pretty good reason for it, and it will benefit the wizarding world as a whole. ”

It's not just Skeeter, which makes Penelope a little confused, and the two of them once again unite to ask why.

"As you know, during the First Wizarding War, Tom took advantage of the fact that most of the people who dared to call him by that name were those who dared to rebel against him, and put a curse on the name, and once the name was spoken, he and his men could know the content of the brief conversation after pronouncing the name and roughly know its location to retaliate... Just as ordinary wizards have been worried about, he has once again made up this spell for his name after returning this time..."Alan cocked his little fingers a little in a very British way, twisted his own bone china teacup and took a sip of tea, "You think about it, when this book became a Muggle bestseller, and Muggles in every country around the world were pronouncing it in their own unique accents, then the mystery and his men were either harassed to the point that they could not sleep until they died... Or you'll have to take the initiative to break the spell yourself... So we wrote this book as an act of justice... It's also to share the worries of the International Federation of Wizards..."
