Chapter 245: Chinese New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day Night (1)
February 14, 1991, Chinese New Year's Eve.
It's also Valentine's Day in the West.
Yes, reality is often just that.
At this time, Li Fei was hiding in the bed of the dormitory "pretending to be sick", because he knew that Professor McGonagall must be blocking the door of the Hufflepuff dormitory.
Without him, just because of the headline on the front page of the "Prophet Daily" that is now on Li Fei's lap-
"Shocked! Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts, is suspected of unspoken rules! ”
It's over, the title of the first "Shock Ministry" in the wizarding world has appeared, and it is not far from the whole people entering the title party.
Time still has to go back to three days ago.
After the press conference where Fudge jumped out halfway to pick fruits, Rita just stepped forward to try it a little, but she didn't expect to successfully receive Li Fei's initiative.
It was a real bonus.
Remember the URL
Without further ado, in order to avoid Dumbledore's troubles, Rita Skeeter decided to conduct an exclusive interview with Li Fei overnight in her residence that night.
Rita's home is not big, but the various combinations exude a "nouveau riche" feeling all the time.
Li Fei looked at Rita's house and actually placed two "copper gold toads" made of pure gold, and for a moment he didn't know whether to call her stupid, or whether to say that she had too much money to burn and had no place to use it.
"Let's get started." Rita put on her jewel-encrusted glasses, opened her small crocodile leather handbag with her rough and fat fingers, and took out a dark green [shorthand quill].
Two-inch-long red nails with dark green quills...... Well, red and green, this taste is simply amazing.
even said that Rita's curly blonde hair actually made Li Fei, who was a "blonde hair controller", secretly feel a little disgusting.
"To be honest, there aren't many people in the wizarding world who have been interviewed by me, but not many people have the privilege of coming to my house."
Rita sat upright in her chair, with an expression of "you are a great honor", and that posture was quite a-for-tat posture during a "certain competition" interview.
As she officially entered the rhythm of the interview, the shorthand quill on the table had already "brushed" into action, and the opening sentence was automatically written on paper.
"In Lady Rita Skeeter's tasteful home, a warm candle glows with a warm glow, and the dark-haired boy from the Far East on the other side behaves in a restrained manner, as if he is worried that he has acted against Dumbledore's orders because of his insistence on the justice of his heart."
Good guy, Li Fei clicked his fingers, and a blank manuscript paper used for an interview instantly turned into mud, and then turned into two sets of extremely exquisite tea sets.
Took out a pot of black tea from the ice and snow pendant on his chest, because Li Fei's space items can well maintain the state of the object when it enters the space, so the black tea at this moment is still piping hot.
The index and middle fingers tapped together to guide two streams of water from the teapot into the tea set.
Li Fei stretched out his hand to pick up a cup, and at the same time signaled to Rita that she was not polite, please use it slowly.
"Wandless spellcasting, combined with extremely strong magical manipulation, is this showing my wrist to demonstrate?" Rita thought to herself, and at the same time, her eyes rolled and the corners of her mouth curled with contempt.
"It's a pity that this means alone are useless to me, after all, I'm just a child, I don't know who has the big fist in this world."
At the same time, a shorthand quill pen wrote the second paragraph on paper.
"Perhaps because of his restraint, the boy respectfully poured a cup of tea for the female reporter and looked at me with that apprehensive gaze, as if to ask, 'Can I drink it too?'"
These are actions that can be easily accomplished with a flick of a wand in the eyes of ordinary people, but this child is reluctant to use his wand, as if he is afraid that he will not be able to pay for the maintenance of his wand because of the excessive use of his wand......"
Well, I've seen death, but I've never seen someone as dare to die as Rita Skeeter.
is really worthy of being a female reporter who is "willing to cut her whole body and dare to pull Lao Deng off the horse"!
Li Fei knew that he couldn't let her go down any longer.
This dark green "shorthand quill pen" can automatically convert ordinary sentences from Skeeter's interviews into unrealistic, fanciful sentences according to her mind, and automatically record them on paper.
And looking at the appearance of the female reporter, she seems to be very satisfied with the content of this record, and it is absolutely impossible for her to give up these lines of the manuscript that has been written by ordinary means.
Although it's good to play with her, after all, there is one thing that Rita herself doesn't know - Li Fei has already checked the editors-in-chief and editor-in-chief of all newspapers and magazines in the wizarding world.
At that time, even if Rita writes an interview with earth-shattering ghosts and gods, as long as it has the slightest negative impact on Li Fei's personal image, she will definitely be rejected.
Hehe, well-known top reporters have been rejected one after another, thinking about it is emotional, Li Fei secretly mocked himself and seemed to have the potential to be a reporter.
There is no way, if we don't occupy the commanding heights of media and propaganda, there will be enemies to occupy them, you must know that the reason why Harry Potter was shouted and beaten by everyone for a while in the end of the original book is mainly because of the guidance of the weather vane by the mainstream media in the wizarding world, the Daily Prophet.
However, at present, Li Fei does not plan to involve too many contradictions with the other party, after all, this kind of person will be used sooner or later in the future.
Ignoring the increasingly fierce "small theater" on the parchment, Li Fei chose to get straight to the point.
"Ms. Skeeter, I don't mind saying that I am a loyal book friend of the best-selling author Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart, and we even have some personal acquaintances with each other."
As soon as the words came out, even the shorthand quill pen on the table that was "brushing" and making rumors all the time stopped, and Rita could be seen suddenly having a blood vessel "suddenly" jumping wildly at her temple.
In Mr. Lockhart's view, although his books have been famous for a long time and sell all over the world, there is a female author who has an important place in his heart that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
That person is you, the well-known journalist and legendary weaver of gossip stories, Ms. Rita Skeeter. ”
Yes, as the top "pen sticks" of the two major British countries who are known for not telling the truth, these two can be regarded as "literati and light on each other", not only publishing articles in newspapers and magazines spraying each other, but also often sending "shouting letters" to each other in private to threaten and intimidate each other.
The two hold a grudge against each other, and they can't wait to receive the "good news" that the other party was suddenly killed by a broomstick one day.
Hearing that Li Fei had Lockhart's "backing" behind him, Rita knew that as long as she dared to hack this child, Lockhart would inevitably stand on the opposite side of herself and criticize herself.
However, Li Fei was nominated for the Merlin Order of the Second Class this time, which itself has a very high gold content, and it doesn't matter if he guides the atmosphere alone, but once someone jumps out and "pulls" with him, some people will polish their eyes in the process.
What's more, Lockhart occupies the identity of a "powerful wizard", and he can only attack the other party from the aspects of personality and personality when he plays gossip, once he talks about Li Fei's specific strength, all his advantages will disappear in an instant.
This will not work, and we must change our thinking.
Just as Rita was thinking about countermeasures in her heart, Li Fei continued his opening remarks:
"The reason why I have a great relationship with Mr. Lockhart is naturally due to the guidance and introduction of some 'seniors' in the wizarding world.
Seniors do not necessarily refer to those who are highly skilled in magic, but may also refer to those who are in high positions as 'politicians'.
As you know, I have a good relationship with Minister Fuki, as can be seen from the fact that he came to stand for me, and I also waved the flag for his Merlin Medal, that we are a 'community of interests'.
After Dumbledore supported Minister Fudge to the throne, he urgently needed to form a team that was only loyal to himself, after all, no matter how obedient the minister was, he was not willing to be a puppet for a lifetime.
Naturally, I am the same.
No matter how you describe me and Dumbledore, it is inevitable that if Dumbledore is completely angry and fights for fame, he will kill you directly, which must be not much worse than killing a beetle.
So you're gambling, betting that Dumbledore is afraid to do anything to you.
It turns out that you were right, because Dumbledore's connivance with you can make his image of 'unintentional power' and 'white wizard with a bottom line', so you are still alive to talk to me.
Whether you admit it or not, you can't ignore my magical talent and current strength.
How about it, do you want to gamble on whether I will directly hack you to death, and then find a way to use 'political donations' to get away with it? ”
As he spoke, he took out the greatsword the size of a door panel and a railing around it from the pendant on his chest, and pressed it straight above the shorthand quill.
The terrible weight of the greatsword weighed down on the tea table and began to squeak.
At the same time, Li Fei took out a not-so-small bag from the pendant, which contained five hundred gold galleons, and also threw it on the table.
"Bang."
"Bang."
"Bang."
There were four bags of the same size, two thousand gold galleons, which was enough to completely crush the not-so-sturdy tea table.
If Li Fei hadn't deliberately used magic to maintain everything, the female reporter in front of him would have been able to experience the happiness of being stoned to death by Jin Garon.
The female reporter wanted to speak, but found that she seemed to be pressed against her chair by an invisible force, unable to move at all.
A second Li Fei appeared in the room, stroking the two "copper gold toads".
Then a third and a fourth appeared, until the whole room was full of "Li Fei".
Everyone turned their heads to look at the female reporter at the same time, and slowly spoke, and the scene was extremely eerie and terrifying for a while.
"Is this money enough to kill your 'political donation' in the future?
Hehe, I'm afraid you're enough for both.
As I said about Minister Fudge, I have no intention of being a pawn of Dumbledore and at his mercy.
So from this point of view, we still have a small part of the possibility of cooperation.
After all, it's not good to be alive and earn a lot of gold gallons?
So I hope you don't forget to say a lot about my report, my personal part.
I believe that this money is not worth it in your capacity, but this is only a deposit, according to the follow-up reaction of the article, we decide whether this deposit is 50%, or just 10%, and there will be 90% of the balance can be earned.
With the help of Skeeter reporters and Mr. Lockhart's propaganda energy, I think this time, even if you write a positive and positive report, you can still write a 'hit', right?
As for the rest of Dumbledore's side, whatever you write, I only ask for two points:
One, you can implicate me with them, but my personal image must not be stained;
Second, if I have any temporary plans, you need to cooperate with my actions and temporarily change the attitude and direction of the wind towards them.
I'm sure it's not that hard for you. ”
After that, more than forty Li Fei in the room dissipated instantly, and Li Fei also put away the terrifyingly heavy giant sword, leaving only the four big bags of gold gallons to collapse the small tea table with a "boom".
Rita found that she couldn't breathe anymore, and the small child in front of her gave her a terrifying feeling of facing Dumbledore.
No, he must not be controlled by others, as long as he leaves, he will move immediately, he will add an encryption spell to the new house, and he will write an article to retaliate back!
Just thinking about it, Li Fei suddenly conjured up a beetle model, the model was made vividly, and the ugly beetle's eyes actually had lines similar to Rita's eyes.
"Secretary Fudge asked me to bring you a message." Li Fei said with a smile, "Since you are a big reporter, it is still a bit useful, so the issue of the beetle on the green plant on the windowsill of the Minister of Magic's office one day will be put aside for the time being and left for later." ”
With a "pants", Rita Skeeter completely collapsed to the ground, leaving only one sentence echoing in her head.
"It's over, it's completely over."
………………………………
Time back to the present, in the Hufflepuff dormitory, Li Fei is still lying in the bed and taking a lazy sleep.
Huanhuan returned to Li Fei's side out of nowhere, lowered his head and flipped through the newspaper on Li Fei's lap.
I was surprised to find that on the front page of the newspaper was a photo of Professor McGonagall holding a cat, and that cat turned out to be Huanhuan Ben!
Huanhuan carefully read the contents of the newspaper, and from time to time he "snorted" to show his existence, until he read this paragraph, and was completely silent:
The reporter's investigation found that the highly respected Vice Principal McGonagall actually unconsciously ruled a little wizard - the cat!
It is reported that the prestigious Deputy Headmaster McGonagall at Hogwarts, one of the nine famous registered [Animagus] in the wizarding world, such a top transfiguration master representing the transformation of 'cats', also has an unknown desire to love and be loved in his heart.
And these days, the protagonist of our major newspapers, Li Fei, the winner of the Merlin Order of Merlin, and his pet cat, have unexpectedly won the heart of Professor McGonagall.
According to the Hogwarts students, Professor McGonagall once secretly called the cat 'Prosperous Beauty' and 'Hearted Arsonist', and even used Li Fei's tutoring as an excuse to get closer to this beautiful boy named [Huanhuan].
Of course, life itself should be respected, and everything that nature has nurtured is entitled to the right to love and to be loved.
Therefore, on this day of [Valentine's Day], I hope that we will face the 'twilight love' of Professor McGonagall, the cat-type Animagus representative, with a more tolerant attitude.
Rita Skeeter, special correspondent for the Daily Prophet, 14 February 1991. ”
Li Fei covered his face, what a madness this is.
You must know that the reason why you were so arrogant at that time was all a scene that was discussed with Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall in advance.
Since you can't coerce, you have to induce.
Anyway, I am not short of money.
But I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the way of heaven is good reincarnation, who will be spared by the sky!
Rita Skeeter's casual fabrication of fake lace news was hammered on the Hogwarts campus, and even among the teachers!
Rejuvenated ecstasy!
Li Fei held his forehead, and Lingjue felt the angry expression on Professor McGonagall's face who was still blocking the door, and Li Fei felt that he should lie down for a while and hide from Professor McGonagall.
Well, I said it was really Rita Skeeter who made it up herself, and I didn't say a word, can you believe it?
