Chapter 30: Rolf's Counterattack

Things are just like Rolfe's imagination, and "Singing Against the Tune" is very active in placing it in the most prominent position after getting his manuscript.

The next day, the wizards who saw the article were really emotional, and they wrote to the Daily Prophet, asking for the dismissal of Rita Skeeter.

Of course, "Singing Against the Tune" has also gained a large number of readers, and its sales far exceed that of "Daily Prophet".

In addition, some other small newspapers did not give up such a good opportunity to attack the number one media in the wizarding world, such as "Wizarding Weekly", and took this opportunity to do a series of interviews.

They found the people in the events that Rita Skeeter had reported on, and then after a deeper understanding, they compared the real situation with the situation reported by Rita Skeeter.

One victim in each issue, leaving Rita Skeeter and the Daily Prophet in the brink of destruction.

Diagon Lane, London, the main office of the Daily Prophet.

In the wizarding world of Britain, if you don't count magazines like "Singing Contrarian", there is really only one wizarding newspaper, "Daily Prophet".

The vast majority of wizarding families generally use this newspaper to get the latest news they want.

In a sense, this newspaper can be regarded as a bellwether for public opinion in the wizarding world.

However, due to the low percentage of the population in the wizarding world, even as the largest and only newspaper in the wizarding world, the Daily Prophet is still pitifully small.

It was actually as small as a university magazine compared to the Muggle journalism.

If you don't count the contracted columnists, and the journalists who regularly contribute and provide breaking news, the real employees of the Daily Prophet are actually no more than 30 people.

And that's counting the editor-in-chief, Barnabas Gufe, and two special correspondents, Betty Braithwaite and Rita Skeeter.

Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the entire magazine, almost everyone will participate in the daily process of collecting and organizing information.

As editor-in-chief, Barnabas Gufe does not work to read other magazines every day to discover the overlooked and newsworthy information.

Bang!

Barnabas Guffey slammed the fancy magazine in his hand on his desk and looked around at the silent employees with an ugly expression on his face.

"Why! You didn't find out about such an important thing in time?"

"But, Mr....... Gufe," a middle-aged wizard swallowed and said cautiously, looking at the furious Panabas Gufe.

"Why is a small magazine like Contrarian causing such a stir? Aren't you collecting feedback from wizards on time?"

Barnabas Gufe let out a sneer, as if to express his displeasure with someone's affairs, and as he spoke, he shook the large stack of stationery in his hand and let out an angry roar.

The content of the letter is very simple, all in support of the article published in the latest issue of Contradiction, and a boycott of Rita Skeeter.

After a slight pause, Barnabas Guffey sat back in his chair like a deflated balloon, shook his head, and let out a feeble sigh.

The Daily Prophet is not a source of complete truth-telling, and there is sometimes a tendency to sensationalize, the most powerful of which is Rita Skeeter.

Beneath the façade of its self-reliance, the Daily Prophet has been counterbalanced by the Ministry of Magic on more than one occasion, keeping quiet about certain facts.

But in fact, that's all that happens in the wizarding world every day, and the total number of people in the wizarding world in Britain is probably not as large as that of a village.

If it weren't for Rita Skeeter's so-called exclusive revelations, the Daily Prophet might have opened its skylight.

"Contact Rita Skeeter and tell her not to come to the newspaper lately. Barnabas Guffey said weakly, as if the anger he had just done had consumed all his strength.

At the breakfast table the next day, Cedric handed the newspaper to Rolf again with a look of surprise, only to see that the photo of the front page had changed to a photo of Rita Skeeter walking out of the newspaper office in frustration with a suitcase.

He also apologized for the incident and pledged a free 3-year distribution of the Daily Prophet to those who were hurt by Rita Skeeter.

Of course, Harry, Malfoy, and Rolf themselves are also included.

He was still very happy to be able to get the newspaper for free for three years, after all, some of the columns on it were still very valuable.

For example, the practical family magic of the [Magic Column] and the medical teaching of St. Mungo in the [Medical Column] all intrigued Rolf.

And the weaving magic that he had in mind was one of the things that was printed on it.

While Rolf was reading the Daily Prophet with great interest, could he still hear the words of the other little wizards at the long table, such as "My mother kept telling me that Rita Skeeter was a madman"?

Just then, a strange owl flew towards Rolf with a letter.

He took the letter in surprise, except for the weekly greeting letter sent to his family, no one seemed to have sent a letter to himself?

When he opened the letter, he found that it was an invitation letter from "Singing Contrarian", and they felt that Rolf's article was of a very high level and wanted to continue to work with him for a long time.

But looking at the meager manuscript fee they offered, Rolf was a little reluctant to accept the job.

But when he saw that the final inscription was the editor-in-chief, Xenophilius Lovegood, he suddenly remembered something.

If he's not mistaken, Neville confessed to Luna that she was rejected...... Married to yourself?

Harm, this kind of thing at a glance for ten thousand years is really too unpleasant, I don't even know Luna, I know the future of the two of us.

After thinking about it, Rolf also wrote back and agreed to the request for a manuscript, not for the meager manuscript fee, but for the sake of currying favor with his future father-in-law.

He wrote back on the Hufflepuff table very seriously, and Cedric next to him leaned over curiously to see what the junior was doing.

"Do you like writing articles very much?" He also knew that the previous big article was written by Rolf, and once praised Rolf's good writing.

"That's not it, I just want to give myself an extra source of income, after all, there are still a lot of places to use money. ”

Rolf didn't blink an eye, and casually said that the manuscript fee he had just disliked was used as an excuse.

After all, he can't say it directly, this is a part-time job for his future wife's family, right?
