Chapter 249: Voices from the Media
Saying goodbye to Professor Sinista, Zhang Xu, who was stuck in his throat and didn't know how to vomit, returned to the common room of the Eagle Academy.
In the end, Zhang Xu gave up thinking, took out a random book from the bookshelf in the common room, and then found a random place in the common room to sit down.
As soon as he turned a few pages, Zhang Xu felt someone next to him pinch his shoulder with his fingers at a frequency of one hertz.
Zhang Xu turned his head and asked, "Is there something wrong, Luna?" ”
"Do you have any troubles today?" Luna asked rhetorically.
"A little bit of an academic problem, now it's been solved." Zhang Xu said.
"Father has a letter today, and "Singing Against the Tune" will be published early tomorrow to expose the conspiracy of the Ministry of Magic." Luna said.
"Thank you for me, father." Zhang Xu said.
"You're welcome, it's everyone's responsibility to expose the Ministry of Magic's conspiracy." Luna said.
With that, Luna turned and left.
In Zhang Xu's opinion, Luna is more empty and elegant, and sometimes her brain is bigger than him. But her brain lacks unexpected goodness, and she is also ranked first among the students of their class. In Zhang Xu's words, the hardware performance of the computer is high, but the software installed is not very reliable.
Zhang Xu read a few more pages of the book, and found that his brain had experienced too many storms today, and now he was a little confused, and he had a good show to watch tomorrow, so he put the book back on the bookshelf and decided to rest in advance.
For hundreds of years, there has been a rumor among Ravenclaw students that there is a secret bookshelf hidden in the common room, which is full of books left behind by the founder of the college, Ravenclaw, and only students who have the approval of Ravenclaw can discover the shelf.
When he first heard this rumor, Zhang Xu believed it, Slytherin had kept good things, and there was no reason why the other three people should not leave some good things.
Later, Zhang Xu asked Professor Flitwick about this matter, and Professor Flitwick later confirmed the rumor, and he borrowed several books from this bookshelf when he was a student.
It's just that what it takes to get Ravenclaw's approval, Professor Flitwick doesn't say, because everyone's adventures are different.
The only thing Zhang Xu can be sure of is that jumping out of the window of the common room is definitely useless.
Under the effect of the smoke that ignited the Ningshen grass, Zhang Xu slept beautifully, and the next morning he changed into sportswear to go to morning exercise, and then returned to the cafeteria to start breakfast as soon as possible.
After filling the stomach, the owl rain arrived as scheduled.
Four owls fell in front of Zhang Xu, and they brought three magazines and supplements, namely "Daily Prophet", "Magic", "Singing and Singing", and "Youth Magazine News Supplement".
Magic Magazine is one of the most authoritative comprehensive magical academic journals in the British and even European wizarding circles, and its research results have attracted attention from all over Europe.
The magazine was originally published on the second weekend of each month. The editor-in-chief of the magazine was somewhat related to Scarlett's family, so after receiving a letter from Scarlett, it was decided to postpone the publication by a day, citing a malfunction of the printing equipment.
As a descendant of Hogwarts, Youth Magazine has prepared a supplement at full capacity.
The magazine, which is mainly aimed at Hogwarts students and wizards under the age of 30, has become more and more influential thanks to Penelope's efforts, and has already had a high voice among young readers.
Especially when Rita Skeeter kept publishing articles in the Daily Prophet to smear Dumbledore and Harry Potter, a reporter named Miranda Richardson wrote an article in the "Youth Magazine" to refute it, and did not fall behind in the war of words with Rita Skeeter, winning a large number of Hogwarts students and recent graduates.
Not to mention "Singing Against the Tune", an old-fashioned magazine that goes against the Ministry of Magic.
But its content was so ethereal that all but a few wizards read it as a humorous pastime that the Ministry of Magic didn't bother to check his water meter.
And this time, he was able to besiege the Guangming Peak with several other major sects, and Luna's father even lived directly in the magazine office.
And the most eye-catching thing today is a series of reports in the Daily Prophet.
The headline on the front page was "Ministry of Magic Seeks Educational Reform, Dolores Umbridge Appointed First Senior Investigator".
The report was written by an official Ministry of Magic reporter and reported on the passage and entry into force of the Ministry's Education Order No. 23, as well as the creation of the new position of Senior Inquisitor at Hogwarts. Two people were interviewed at the same time.
Assistant Minister Percy Weasley said in an interview: "The Minister has been increasingly uneasy about the current state of Hogwarts for some time. He took action after listening to the concerns of worried parents, who felt that the school seemed to be moving in a direction that they strongly disapproved. ”
"According to the staff of Magic Magazine, the 'Bloody Arm Photo Incident' that appeared in the Daily Prophet last week caused public panic took place at Hogwarts."
"The Minister was shocked by such a horrific incident at Hogwarts. Professor Umbridge was given the task of investigating the matter. ”
Lucius Malfoy, the parent representative of the students, said in an interview: "I am now much more relieved to know that Dumbledore will receive a fair and objective evaluation. Many of us who care about our children's interests have been worried about Dumbledore's bizarre decisions for several years, and it is reassuring to know that the Ministry of Magic is keeping a close eye on the situation. ”
"There have been reports of serious injuries to Hogwarts students in recent days, and as parents of students, my wife and I are very worried about the safety of our son."
"I hope that the senior investigator appointed by the Ministry of Magic can find out the murderer as soon as possible and punish the culprit severely."
At this time, Umbridge, who was sitting in the professor's chair, was pale and trembling a little.
A few days ago, she was secretly used by the magical power from the East to return the favor to the other, and lay in the hospital for two days.
During this time, her communication with Fudge was conducted through Percy Weasley, Fudge's assistant minister.
Since the original photos in the Daily Prophet did not reveal the identity and location of the victims, she thought she could put the matter under pressure as a senior investigator.
So she didn't reveal to Fudge that she did it, but only assured Fudge through Percy that she could settle the matter after serving as a senior investigator.
Fudge had already obtained the pictures of these arm injuries from Hogwarts, which also made him see an opportunity to attack Dumbledore, and after receiving Umbridge's reply, he forced the passage of Education Order 23.
If Percy, who already knew the truth, had told Fudge that the bleeding student's arm was Umbridge's handiwork, then Fudge wouldn't have let Percy and Old Ma make a fuss about it.
It's a pity that Percy didn't say it, or rather, because it was Percy, he didn't say it.
So Umbridge, who was sitting in the professor's chair, couldn't hold on to the second news item on the front page of the Daily Prophet.
The name of that report was "Shock! Hogwarts flowers are ravaged, and the murderer is actually her! The author's name is Rita Skeeter.
