Rita Skeeter's article about the Triwizard Tournament has finally been published.

It can be seen that she has neglected Maca, who should have been written about to the greatest extent. In this article, the information about Maca is limited to just one name.

Harry, on the other hand, was a bit of a disaster, and this was more of a depiction of Harry's personal life than a report on the tournament.

A large part of the first page of the newspaper was occupied by a picture of Harry, and the entire article was filled with pages 2, 6, and 7, all about Harry.

Of course, the above content is all false, but it has to be said that those things seem to be eye-catching and will cause all kinds of misunderstandings among uninformed people.

As for Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons, her name is squeezed into the last line of the essay along with Maca, and even her name is misspelled.

When it comes to the specific content of the article, in addition to those groundless speculations and strange descriptions, there is a certain paragraph in it that makes Hermin very uncomfortable.

Here's what Rita Skeeter wrote:

“…… Harry finally found his first love at Hogwarts. His close friend, Colin Creevey, said that Harry was inseparable from a girl named Hermione Granger, who was the famous fourth warrior of the tournament. Miss Granger was stunningly beautiful, born into a Muggle family, and like Harry, she was one of the top students in school. ”

This narrative is not too informative, presumably Rita Skeeter is trying to give the article a bit of pink lace to make it look a little more gimmicky.

It was just one of the many things about Harry's daily routine, but it was completely unbearable for Hermione.

If it was in the past, she might just ignore it, but it wasn't true anyway, and it didn't matter to her. But now, after she discovered her thoughts, the text became very eye-catching.

"Amazingly beautiful? She? After Rita's article was published, Pansy Parkinson of Slytherin said in a strange voice when he first met Hermione, "Is she judging the chipmunk on what basis?" ”

"Be quiet, Pansy!" Another girl exaggeratedly, "She's the Savior's girlfriend!" ”

Then the group of Slytherin girls giggled.

Hermione was trembling with anger, but when she heard that, the first thing she did was look around. The Slytherin girls couldn't help but laugh even more when they saw her weak face.

"Harry and I are just friends!" Hermione yelled angrily and quickly walked away.

She couldn't let Maca hear the unfounded rumors, even though she thought that Maca wouldn't believe the nonsense. But......

"Oh what's wrong with me, I need to calm down." Hermione retreated back into her dorm, and she decided not to go out if she didn't have to.

If someone else made fun of her about that again...... If only when others called her "Savior's Girlfriend" again, she happened to run into Maca...... So what to do?

Hermione felt like she had been flustered lately, which was a bit of a bad thing, and Marca had warned her to be careful. Now this state ......

"Hmm......" Hermione scratched at her hair in annoyance, "it's Maca again." ”

……

On the Saturday before the first program began, the school approved the trips to Hogsmeade for students from Year 3 onwards. Hermione told Harry that it might make him feel better to take a walk outside the castle.

In fact, Harry couldn't wait to go out and relax, and he didn't need her to persuade him.

"But what about Ron?" He asked, "Don't you want to go with him?" ”

"Oh...... That's ......," Hermione blushed slightly, "I think you could meet him at the Three Broomsticks Tavern......"

"No way! I don't want ...... Wait," Harry said strangely, "aren't you going with me?" ”

"No, I...... I still have some work to do. Hermione stumbled.

"What's the matter?" Harry said, "I can do it with you, you know, I just want to get away and nothing else." ”

"No way!"

Hermione subconsciously shouted loudly, and then was startled by her own voice. She looked left and right before continuing, "No, I mean...... There are some things that I can do alone......"

But Harry said sullenly, "Then I'll be alone again...... That's awesome! ”

Hermione tilted her head helplessly, she thought for a while before she reluctantly said, "Okay, okay...... Then you have to be quiet and don't ask anything! ”

She repeated in an accentuated tone, "Remember, don't ask anything!" ”

"Why" Harry subconsciously asked halfway, seeing that anger immediately appeared on Hermione's face, he couldn't help but hold back the words back into his stomach.

"I don't ask, I don't ask anything." He immediately changed his tune.

With that, Harry put on his cloak of invisibility in the dormitory, went downstairs, and set off with Hermione for Hogsmeade.

Harry felt at ease underneath the Cloak of Invisibility.

As they walked into the village, Harry watched as the other classmates walked past them. Although there were no nasty comments against him, no one quoted from that stupid article.

Harry, however, noticed that many people were watching Hermione point.

"What are they talking about?"

"Don't talk, don't ask anything!" Hermione quickly blocked Harry's question back.

They soon came to the door of Duke Bee's candy shop, which they would visit every time they returned to Hogsmeade. But this time, Hermione skipped this place without looking, and continued to walk forward.

Harry really wanted to ask why, but because of the first two times, he finally held back.

As they passed by Jokowi's Magical Joke Shop, Harry noticed that Hermione had stopped in front of the Wizard's Costume Store.

"Wait here!" Hermione whispered the words and ran in like a gust of wind.

Harry stood in the doorway and blinked inexplicably, looking inside in bewilderment.

"Uh...... I'm still wearing an invisibility cloak, and she can't see it. He hesitated for a moment, but after all, he could not hold back his curiosity, and cautiously opened the door and followed in.

"Jingle Bells"

An abrupt doorbell made Harry snap to his feet.

"Oops!"

He didn't dare to take a breath, but in the next second, he was hit by something.

"Ouch! What's up front? A voice came from behind Harry, and he hurried two steps forward, hiding behind a stand-up hanger with an overcoat hanging from it.

At the same time, Hermione, who was talking to the shopkeeper in the store, hurried to the door, thinking Harry had sneaked in!

But what she saw was a middle-aged witch.

"Oh...... Ma'am, what's wrong with you? Hermione said, looking left and right carefully.

"Hmm...... It's okay, thanks. The witch smiled, glanced at the door in confusion, and then walked inside.

"Harry, are you in?" Hermione asked softly, but received no answer.

Of course, Harry wouldn't be silent, and if he did now, it would be a waste of the coincidence. Besides, no one would take the initiative to come up and scold themselves, would they?

Hermione, however, suddenly turned around and grabbed Harry.

"How do you know," Harry said, lowering his voice in surprise.

But Hermione didn't mean to explain to him at all, she opened the door and pushed Harry out.

"Does your coat arch itself when it's on the hanger......" she muttered quietly, hurrying back to the store.

"Does she want to buy clothes?" Harry stood outside the door, looking at the outfit displayed in the window, and said in confusion, "But...... The clothes here look quite expensive. ”

After a few more moments, Hermione finally came out.

The two walked in silence for a while, and Harry finally couldn't help but speak.

"That...... Sorry just now"

"Don't talk!" Hermione said angrily, "Alright, please take off the invisibility cloak for a while, no one here will trouble you." ”

"Oh, really?" Harry said, "Look behind you." ”

Rita Skeeter and her photographer friend have just come out of the Three Broomsticks tavern. They whispered something and walked past Hermione without looking at her.

Instead, Hermione clenched her fists and glared at her back in annoyance.

Afraid that Rita Skeeter's crocodile leather bag would touch him, Harry quickly dodged and hid under the wall of Duke Honey's candy store.

After the two were gone, Harry said, "She's still in the village." I dare say she'll definitely come and watch the first event. ”

As soon as the words came out, he felt a burning sense of panic pass through his heart, but he didn't say it. He and Hermione rarely talked about what the first event would be.

He always felt that Hermione didn't seem to want to think about it.

"She's gone." Hermione said, her gaze piercing Harry, staring at the end of the street. "How about we go to the Three Broomsticks Bistro for a butterbeer? It's a little cold, isn't it? ”

Harry didn't say anything, she felt as if she was talking to the air.

"Just go for a drink, you don't have to talk to Ron!" She guessed the reason why he didn't speak, and said irritably.

The Three Broomsticks Tavern was packed with people, mostly Hogwarts students, enjoying the afternoon's freedom, but there were also many wizarding people of all stripes that Harry rarely saw elsewhere.

It is worth mentioning that they saw Maca in the corner. At this time, he was chatting casually with Fudge, the Minister of Magic, with a large glass of butterbeer in his hand.

“…… Don't worry, you've done everything you need to do, just wait. Maca raised her glass to Fudge and said calmly.
