Chapter 921: Harry's Troubles
In fact, it is certainly not possible to get Rita to write articles for free willingly.
So privately, Van Lin still promised Rita a reward that matched the report, and promised that if Rita had the ability to make the report appear on more information channels, Rita could also get the corresponding remuneration according to the value.
With enough gold galleon temptation, Rita is still very hard, but for the others, this should be the biggest breakthrough of the counterattack.
This can't help but make Van Lin look sideways, the whole incident was planned by Hermione, because of Fudge's actions, the plan to meddle in the "Daily Prophet" has been abandoned by Lupin and Van Lin, but Hermione can still find Rita's useful place, although the audience is small, but there will always be people who believe it.
Luna vaguely stated that she didn't know how many Rita's interviews with Harry would appear in Wizarding Weekly, and that what her father wanted was a long, engaging article about the recent harassment.
"Of course, it's going to be a big story, so Harry will have to wait a while before his article is published. Luna said.
Harry, on the other hand, didn't find it a light-hearted experience to talk about the night Voldemort's resurrection. Rita forced him to provide every tiny detail, and he told her everything he could remember, knowing that this was a rare opportunity to tell the world the truth. He imagined people's reactions, and guessed that a significant number of people would think that he was indeed insane, not to mention that his article was published right next to a bunch of nonsense about an invisible, possibly non-existent species.
But Bellatrix and her accomplice's escape from prison gave Harry a burning desire to do something, whether it worked or not.
"I can't wait to see how Umbridge reacts to your article!" Dean exclaimed in awe at dinner Monday night. Next to him, Seamus was forking chicken and ham pies, but Harry knew he was listening.
"You're doing the right thing, Harry. Neville sat across from him, pale, but still whispered, "It must be hard to talk about, huh?"
"Yes," Harry muttered, "but people have to know what Voldemort can do, right?"
"That's right," Neville nodded, "and his Death Eaters, people should know." ”
Neville finished speaking, and began to eat his baked potatoes again. Seamus looked up, but quickly lowered his head to look at his plate when he met Harry's gaze.
After a while, Dean, Seamus, and Neville went back to the common room, leaving Harry, Van Lin, and Hermione waiting for Ron. Ron hadn't come to dinner yet because he was going to practice Quidditch.
Akihari and her friend Marita walked into the hall, and Harry felt uncomfortable, but instead of looking at Gryffindor's table, she sat down with her back to him.
"Oh yes...... I forgot to ask you," Hermione opened her mouth, as if reluctantly, she glanced at the Ravenclaw table, and then asked happily, "How was your date with Cho?"
"Uh, that's it," Harry pulled over a plate of bread and took some, "it's a complete mess. ”
Then he told her what had happened in Lady Padiv's teahouse.
When Harry talked about the twitter and Roger behind his back, Van Lin and Hermione felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Harry said it quite reluctantly.
"And then," Harry was almost done when he finished his bread, "she jumped up and said, 'I'll keep an eye on you, Harry,' and ran out!" He stopped his spoon and looked at Hermione, "I said, what the hell is going on, what's going on?"
Hermione glanced at the back of Cho's head, feeling a little embarrassed, then sighed again.
"Oh, Harry," she said regretfully, "I'm sorry, but you're so unsophisticated. ”
"I'm not sophisticated?" said Harry angrily, "one minute we were getting along, and the next minute she told me that Roger Davis had invited her out, and how did Cedric go on a date kiss with her in that stupid teahouse, how would I feel after hearing that?"
"Oh, you see," said Hermione, her patient tone as if explaining to an emotional child that one plus one equals two, "you shouldn't have told her halfway through a date that you were going to meet me." ”
"But, but," said Harry, stumbling up, "you asked me to meet you at twelve, and you brought her, how could I do it if I didn't tell her?"
"You shouldn't have told her that," Hermione said, still in an irritating patient tone. "You should say it's really annoying, but I insist that you go to meet with Three Broomsticks, and you don't want to go at all, and you'd rather stay with her all day. Unfortunately you have to go and see me, and she is not willing to be with you so that you can get out quickly. In the meantime, you would be better able to mention how ugly you think I am. ”
"But I don't think you're ugly. Harry said confusedly.
Hermione laughed suddenly, and Van Lin was startled, he never seemed to praise how beautiful the girl was, but ......
"Harry, you're worse than Ron, oh no, you're not ......" she sighed as Ron stumbled down the hall, muddy and looking bad-tempered.
"Look, you told Qiu that you wanted to meet me made her uneasy, so she wanted to make you jealous. She tries to prove how much you like her. ”
"Is she like that?" asked Harry, and Ron sat down on the stool across from him, pulling all the food in front of him, "Isn't it easier for her to like her more than you do?"
"Girls never ask like that. Hermione said.
"But they should be!" said Harry vehemently, "I can tell her how much I have a crush on her, and she won't have to be upset by Cedric's accident again!"
"I didn't say she did the right thing," Hermione said, as Ginny arrived, as muddy as Ron, looking very upset.
"I just wanted to tell you how she felt at the time, and it's important for you, and besides, you're pursuing each other, and you just need one to relax a little bit, like ...... Just like me and Van Lin, the two of us......" Hermione said suddenly, "A lot of things come naturally, and you just need to give each other some security, Harry, know that you're the one who gets the attention, no matter what. ”
"You should write a book," Ron said as he cut the potatoes, "explain the incomprehensible behavior of the girls so the boys will understand." ”
"That's right," Harry said earnestly, glancing at the Ravenclaw table. Qiu had just stood up, and walked out of the hall without looking at him. He turned to look at Ron and Ginny in frustration, "How's Quidditch practice?"
