Hearing the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor in front of him say that he was a minion, August Luckwood was very angry. But what can be done then? He is now a lamb to the slaughter, and he has no power to resist at all. Helpless, he could only close his eyes and pretend to be dead.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, I'll go first. There's still a class in a moment. By the way, I remember telling Minister Fudge that there is no need to take children so seriously in a duel. ”

"Well, there you go!"

Having spent the middle of the day interrogating Auguste Lukewood in the headmaster's office, Rick touched his empty stomach and suddenly remembered that he still had a second-year wizard class in the afternoon.

He immediately greeted Dumbledore and left the Headmaster's office.

As for the follow-up of August Luckwood, Rick didn't care too much, he just waited for someone from the Ministry of Magic to take him away, and at most he was imprisoned in Azkaban.

There is no death penalty in the wizarding world, and if you are a dark wizard and meet an Auror who can't be beaten, as long as you surrender quickly, you will not be safe.

After leaving the principal's office, Rick took advantage of the fact that there was still half an hour before class, so he went to the kitchen on the basement floor first, and found some food to eat to his stomach.

Leaving the castle, he walked towards the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, but on the way, he saw a figure sitting next to the garden.

Looking at him, Rick quickly confirms that he is Terry Bout, one of the causes of the incident.

"Mr. Bout, class is coming up soon. What are you doing sitting here? ”

Rick walked over to Terry's side and looked at Terry's blank eyes and sad face before he spoke.

"Ahh Professor Graves! I... I... I'm not... I am..."

Rick's sudden arrival made Terry, who was in a state of sadness, panic for a while, and his brain was confused and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing that he couldn't speak clearly, Terry burst into tears. The Ravenclaw school bully cried in front of Rick like this.

"Okay, your business. I see, it's just a wizard duel. The school will not penalize you. ”

Rick touched Terry's head, comforting him softly.

"But... But I've heard that the Ministry of Magic has approached Headmaster Dumbledore. He asked the school to expel me! But I didn't want to leave school. 555！ Professor Graves, what should I do? ”

Terry was filled with thoughts about being expelled from school and returned home to face the disappointed eyes of his parents. He couldn't control his emotions anymore and hugged Rick's body and cried.

"It's not like you at all, Terry Bout. But what you think won't happen. I just came out of Headmaster Dumbledore, and your matter has been settled. You won't be expelled. You don't want to believe what the professor says? ”

Looking at the helpless child in front of him, Rick patted him on the back and told him again that he would not be expelled.

"Really? Professor Graves! Won't I be expelled? But Margarion's father was the head of the Ministry of Magic! ”

Hearing Rick say again that he wouldn't be expelled, Terry began to believe it, and he wiped away his tears, his eyes revealing joy and confusion.

"Come to the classroom for me, if you arrive after me, I'll deduct your house points for being late!"

Rick gave Terry an annoyed look, pretending to punish him for being late, and then turned away from the garden and headed for the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Seeing Professor Graves leave like this, Terry still wondered if he would be expelled. But when he thought back to what Rick had said, he seemed to understand something. Hurriedly chased Rick to the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Fudge personally led people to take August Lukewood away. When he left, his face was gloomy, and the Aurors around him were also demoralized. Rick guessed that Voldemort's spies had suddenly appeared in the Ministry of Magic, making them feel ashamed.

Fudge didn't want to care about Terry Bout's matter, so he only left Dumbledore with one sentence, "You can do it, right?" ”

Finally, Professor Fellivier informed Terry that he and Magrian would be placed in confinement at a time to be determined.

......

"Very good, Miss Weasley. The content of this edition of the newspaper is much better than last time. In my mind, you've reached the level of publishing, and you can organize the Hogwarts School Newspaper. Here is 20 gold Galleons as your starting capital. If that's not enough, you're coming to me. ”

In the Defence Against the Dark Arts office, Rick, who was sitting behind his desk, put down the newspaper in his hand and looked up at Ginny Weasley, who was a little uneasy in front of him. His eyes were full of relief and appreciation.

He didn't expect that a week after Christmas, Ginny would be able to hand in an answer sheet that he was very satisfied with.

If Ginny and Colin had given his students only 50 points on the train before, then this newspaper could have scored 99 points, one more point, for fear of being a first-year Ginny's pride.

The newspaper was a little childish to Rick's eyes, but it perfectly captured the inner needs of the little wizards.

It's not that Rick was jokingly called the Gryffindor newspaper before, Ginny's revision this time, the content of the four houses is relatively consistent, and there is no deliberate inclination towards one house over another. Perfectly fair and just.

Seeing Ginny's excited expression, Rick took out 20 gold galleons from his purse and placed them in front of Ginny.

Rick didn't know how much money it would take to start a newspaper, but a young wizard wouldn't have to invest more in a school to start a student newspaper than a newspaper in the society, so he took out 20 gold Galleons for Ginny to use first, and then asked him for more.

"Ahh Thank you! Thank you, Professor Graves. 20 gold galleons is too much. 10 pieces are enough. I have asked Luna's father in advance, a second-hand printing press is less than 6 gold galleons, and a second-hand typesetting machine is 3 gold galleons. The remaining 1 gold galleon is enough to buy ink and paper. ”

Ginny almost jumped for joy, but she looked at the 20 gold gallons in front of her, but she didn't dare to take all of them, only took half of them, and then pushed the other half in front of Rick.

Before she and Rick mentioned the idea of starting a newspaper, they already knew all the equipment needed to start a newspaper, where to buy it, and so on.

In her opinion, she is just a very small newspaper and does not need new equipment, and the second-hand equipment that has been eliminated by the newspaper is enough for her to use.

"How's that going to work? Second-hand equipment is some antiques with many faults and low efficiency. You don't want to think every day about why it's not working again, what's going on, and so on. You have to buy the latest equipment, and I'm not bad for money! Buy whatever equipment you see! ”
