385. Interviews
The Weasley twins followed, curious about what Field had just done and what he had done.
"It's just a curse, the letter containing the tuber pus of the Babo has a message from the sender, which is recorded in my curse letter, and this curse letter will be sent to the other party no matter what, and if the other person touches it, he will be cursed. Field explained.
"And what will happen to him?" asked the Weasley twins with interest.
"For at least half a year, he has to live with a pig's head. Field said with a cold face.
The Weasley twins looked at each other, then their eyes were filled with joy, and they quickly asked about the curse.
Field ignored the two of them, the curses were from Slytherin's notes, which Field had accidentally written down when he was studying the Dark Arts the previous year, and they were the basis for many vicious curses, and Field hadn't wanted to spread them yet.
In the school infirmary, Field saw Hermione, she was in a terrible condition, the undiluted Babo tuber pus was very corrosive, Hermione's hands were full of blisters, swollen, and the opposite face was fine, except for two blisters on the tip of her nose, there was nothing else.
Madam Pomfrey carefully bandaged Hermione's hands, and Ginny took a jar of medicine and fed her little by little.
When he was done, Field looked at the time, and the first herb class was almost over.
Originally, Field persuaded Hermione to go back to rest, but the stubborn Hermione was unwilling, so the two went to Hagrid's hut together to participate in the next magical creature protection class.
In the magical creature protection class of the day, Hagrid brought you a sniff, a strange creature covered in black fluff, with a long nose and flat front paws, like a shovel.
Sniff's greatest interest is to collect gold, silver and jewelry, they are the favorite of elves, goblins often raise sniffers to dig deep underground treasures, they are as good at digging as moles, although they have a gentle temper, but they have amazing destructive power to the property of wizards, so no one generally keeps them as pets.
In this lesson, Hagrid buried the leprechaun's gold coin (a type of gold that disappears after a while) into the ground, and asked the students to dig each with a sniff, and whoever digs more will be rewarded with a large piece of Duke Honey's chocolate.
By the time Field and Hermione showed up in the Magical Creature Protection class, the competition was over and Ron had won the championship, though he didn't seem to be in high spirits.
Ron is worried about money, although the Weasley family is a pure-blood family, but the economy is not very rich, because there are more children, so the use is also large, although Mrs. Weasley began to work in the magic TV station in the past two years, the family income is more, but the economic situation is still not good.
"At the World Cup, I traded those leprechaun coins for your panoramic binoculars, but you didn't tell me afterwards, I didn't know how many hours those coins would disappear. Ron said to Harry in annoyance, "If I had known, I should have paid you back the money I earned to buy Rolf's Severe Cold some time ago, and now I spent it." ”
Field listened with a little bit and probably guessed what was going on between Harry and Ron. During the Quidditch World Cup, there were leprechauns scattering gold coins on the scene, and Ron grabbed a large bag, and then exchanged them for Harry's panoramic telescope, and then the gold coins naturally disappeared, and Harry, as a friend, naturally did not take this matter and told Ron, the result is that Ron now knows what he really wants, and his heart is a little uncomfortable.
Well, Field didn't think it was a big deal, Harry had a big inheritance and really didn't care about the money, and Ron had a little more pride, but when Hermione started to resentfully say that she wanted to give Rita Skeeter a good look, everyone's attention was focused on that.
The new week had begun, and Field had received several malicious letters, of course Hermione had received more, but the two of them were now prepared, seeing that the letters from strangers were thrown directly into the trash. Of course, there were troubles, there were a few idiots who sent them yelling letters, and Field's response was very simple, and he gave them a 'break' before the yelling letters started screaming.
The letter didn't cause much trouble to everyone, but it didn't make people feel better.
It wasn't until Wednesday, on magical television, that Gilderoy Lockhart talked about a Lancashire witch who had received a letter curse and turned into a pig's head, that everyone was in a better mood.
Although the kind-hearted Hermione always believed that Rita Skeeter was responsible for all this, it was always nice to be punished for sending her dangerous letters. After that, Hermione held the map almost every day, and every now and then she would look down, which made her look nervous.
Field's mood was actually similar to Hermione's, he was disgusted by Rita Skeeter, but unlike Hermione who was about to grab her all at once, Field was plotting how to get him into trouble.
It's Easter, and everyone's homework has become much more, and the most intuitive feeling is that Ron and Harry have more time to copy Field and Rolf's homework.
However, no amount of homework could stop Field from retaliating, and after asking Professor Splinter to help him apply for an empty classroom, Field brought Harry and Penelo Riot here.
The classroom was empty, with only two simple chairs, and a magic camera on the opposite side.
"Are you familiar with the lines and questions?" asked Field, turning to Harry and Penelope.
The two nodded in unison, but they still looked a little nervous.
"Don't be nervous, we're just recording, and it's not certain if we can broadcast it at the time. Field comforted the two.
The two took a deep breath, then sat down in their chairs and faced the camera.
"Let's get started—"
"Hello audience friends, it's the Triwizard Tournament special, I'm intern reporter Penelo Crivat, and today we have the honor to have one of the Champions of the Triwizard Tournament - Mr. Harry Potter. Penelope said with a smile.
"Hello host, hello audience friends, my name is Harry Potter, I'm sure many people have heard of my name. Harry was a little nervous, but as soon as he spoke, he let go of a lot.
Field nodded, Harry was doing well, and he remembered the precautions before recording. Before the recording, Field told Harry that he must say "my name is ......" instead of "I am ......" when introducing himself, which will give the audience an approachable image, and such a person will be more likely to convince the audience in the interview later.
"Oh, our Harry is so confident—is it because you're the savior?" said Penelope.
Harry's face fell for a moment.
"Okay, senior sister, don't make fun of me. Let's not talk like that, I'm doing the hosting exercise with you, please be a little more serious, okay? I'm so nervous, and you're still making fun of me. ”
Penelope sat up slightly, but the smile on his face didn't subtract much.
"Alright, alright, then rebriefing, Harry and I are both Hogwarts students, and we have a good relationship. ”
Harry nodded, with a sad expression: "Senior sister, you said that we have a good relationship, then you still make fun of me about my recent troubles, you see it every day at breakfast, my two best friends receive yelling letters every day, and then it is also written in the Daily Prophet as a little boy who cries his nose all day, you say I can not be troubled." ”
"Okay, okay, we have a lot of troubled boys, I think we might as well change the name of our show to 'Growing Pains'. Penelope joked knowingly. Harry rolled his eyes back.
Field nodded, motioning for them to continue. He felt that it was working well, a serious interview show, and they insisted on turning it into a casual chat between classmates, which would be more convincing to the audience and would change their opinion of Harry.
After teasing each other, Harry revealed the truth about his participation in the Triwizard Tournament, which, according to him, was the bastard who had prank his name into the Goblet of Fire. In this way, he is tantamount to directly denying Rita Skeeter's report in the "Daily Prophet", if the program is broadcast, I believe that it will be enough for Rita Skeeter to drink a pot by then.
After some interaction, Penelope asked Harry about his impressions of the other Warriors, which was also a proper meaning, and when interviewing other Warriors later, it was the usual process.
Harry was now confident, as if he really thought of it as if he was chatting with his senior sister.
"Actually, we didn't have a lot of contact with the Warriors of Beauxbatons and Durmstram. Usually we attend classes at the castle, while they attend classes on their respective boats and carriages. ”
"The one that impressed me the most was Victor Krum, I met him at this year's Quidditch World Cup, and when he came to Hogwarts, I was going to ask him for an autograph, oh, gotta say, my best friend Ron, yes, the hostage in the second project, and he's always been a big fan of Krum. ”
"Oh, you said Hermione, yes, Hermione was one of my best friends, and although we had a big conflict in first year, we became good friends after we dealt with a troll that broke into the castle together, well, and with Field, the second ancestor who was described as arrogant in the Daily Prophet. ”
"Oh, that's how the troll thing........................."
The recording went very smoothly, and the two were natural in front of the camera, just like chatting with friends.
"Alright, alright, off topic, let's move on to the Warriors. Penelope ended the conversation appropriately.
"Well, let's go on, the other warrior of Durmstrang and Miss Helen Hathaway of Beauxbatons are very good wizards, and if I can do as well as they do, our Gryffindor headmaster, Professor McGonagall, will surely save a lot of trouble. Harry laughed at himself, saying that this would definitely break the idea that everyone was thinking of him as a good baby.
"As for Miss Fleur Delacour, her beauty is naturally striking, and of course her wisdom is no less than that of beauty. ”
"Oh, and Cedric Diggory, senpai, are you sure you really need me to talk about it? You're his former girlfriend, so you should be more familiar than I am. ”
Speaking of which, Penelope pretended to be angry at the right time and made a gesture to hit Harry.
"Okay, okay, don't fight, I know it's an interview. To be honest, Cedric and I are actually quite familiar, he is one of my best friends - Field's older brother. His strength is obvious to all, I always think that he should be the strongest among all the warriors, Cedric's popularity in the school is very good, not to mention the grades, anyway, dump me two streets. But if it's a Quidditch match, I'm not necessarily worse than him, even though I lost to him in the previous game, but not next time. ”
The chattering interview continues, and the seemingly scattered interview rhythm is actually very attractive, and I believe it can satisfy everyone's curiosity about the warriors of the Triwizard Tournament.
"Okay, isn't the interview almost over, senior sister, do you think this can be broadcast on Magic TV then, if only it could be posted, I have to add, that article in the Daily Prophet really bothered me a lot, I really can't imagine that there is such a hateful reporter who completely disregards the facts to make up the news, it really makes me disappointed in the Daily Prophet. ”
"Very good—" Field turned off the camera, and the two men in their chairs straightened up, looking a little excited.
This recording was carefully choreographed by Field, with all lines and questions pre-rehearsed. Eventually, they would send it to Magic TV as a trainee reporter to record the exercises, and try to show it in a special report of the Triwizard Tournament, under the banner of 'uncensored, restore the real warriors', and the probability of success is very high in Field's eyes.
And as long as the show is broadcast, the credibility of Rita Skeeter's article will be greatly reduced, which must be a very big blow to her.
As for whether Magic TV will broadcast it, Field is not worried, firstly, the quality of the show is very good, and the style is novel and suitable for the recent hot spots of the Triwizard Tournament. Field had already greeted Mrs. Diggory before the second visit, and she would give her full support to the television station. Three, in the interview, he repeatedly pointed to the false report of the "Daily Prophet", which is what everyone wants to see in Magic TV, and I believe that in order to hit the opponent, the probability of this interview being broadcast is very high.
