"055" Voldemort's cub

The following month, the impact of Hogwarts first-year students' papers published in Transfiguration Today finally fermented.

The first to focus on this was the Daily Prophet.

They are divided into a small section.

The author praised the "routine" mentioned in the paper, but it is not actually on point, this is a common routine in the news, the purpose is to set off the atmosphere and pave the way for Ringo's appearance.

- Even if there is not much ink about Ringo.

Just at the end of the article.

The author of the paper is Ringo Shelby, a new Hogwarts student this year, who was born in the Muggle world.

But even so.

As soon as the article was published, it immediately attracted the attention of many wizards.

They don't really care about papers.

What really cared about was the gimmick of "first-year freshmen publishing professional papers", and almost that night, reporters from several magazines contacted Hogwarts for interviews.

Although they were all blocked by Professor McGonagall.

Ringo was not harassed.

But this does not mean the end, but it means the beginning of the lace news - if you don't give me an interview, then I will have to make it up!

……

There isn't much useful information about it other than Ringo's Muggle origins, House status, and non-frontal photos that were taken secretly.

But it's very hot!

I have to say that there is so little news about the wizarding world, but if there is a little interesting thing, it can immediately spread to several gathering areas, let alone Hogwarts.

Schools were almost the first places to spread.

And the little wizards don't really care about fame, they only care if you're a celebrity, so much so that Ringo can occasionally be stopped and asked for an autograph while walking on the road......

This situation.

It ended after Luna's father-in-chief magazine "Singing Contrarians" ended.

None of them.

Because the magazine is unique in the wizarding world, it specializes in the crazy, stupid, and bizarre stories of celebrities, especially conspiracy theories, that it sells even more than the Daily Prophet.

And for Ringo.

They spent a page on it.

At the beginning of the article, the fact that Ringo was Muggle-born was directly refuted, which they believed was fabricated by other unscrupulous media.

And then we started to go crazy about that.

There are four points in total:

The first is Ringo's appearance - they didn't get the front picture either, but they only knew from the side and back photos and the students' accounts that Ringo had black hair and black eyes.

The second is Ringo's identity - they said they investigated the orphanage where Ringo grew up, but the people in the orphanage had no impression of his parents.

The third is Ringo's talent - not just Transfiguration, but all classes, including The History of Magic, are excellent.

The fourth is Ringo's experience - he fought in the Muggle world mafia at a young age, and with amazing means, he established the Shelby family, which is quite powerful in the Muggle world, and he did not shy away from using some shady means during this period.

After talking about these things, the article suddenly took a turn.

Begins to describe the Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange, or Bellatrix Black.

It is said that this witch is also very talented in magic.

Still with black hair and black eyes.

Do whatever it takes.

And while following someone whose name can't be mentioned, he always talks to the other person in a very romantic way.

The article takes a turn again after this point.

No more descriptions of Bella.

Instead, he talked about a person who went to Hogwarts at the beginning of the century, who also had black hair and black eyes, was extremely talented, good at Transfiguration and potions, and his surname was Riddle.

- This paragraph is really only one paragraph.

It can be seen that although the author of the article seems to be bold, in fact, it is just like that.

Anyway, after writing here.

The article puts two English words together:

「Riddle」&「Ringo」

And at the end, it is written that the time when Bellatrix was in prison and the time when Ringo was adopted by the orphanage - a difference of less than a month.

No doubt.

This article is full of the consistent tone of "Singing Against the Tune".

i.e. conspiracy theories.

A lot of the stuff in it is very far-fetched:

For example, "Riddle" and "Ringo" are put together to tell others that the two pronunciations are very similar, and the vocabulary is also similar, but they are not actually similar;

Another example is that they don't seem to have done a thorough field investigation, so much so that they have misspelled the name and location of the orphanage where they adopted Ringo.

- But the influence is really big.

Even if many wizards don't believe it after seeing it, they still subconsciously regard it as a "possibility".

After all......

The mysterious person and Bella are really both black-haired and black-eyed talents, and the timing of Bella's imprisonment and Ringo's adoption is such a coincidence!

In a word.

This article caused a lot of repercussions at Hogwarts.

Even if McGonagall refuted this claim many times.

Ringo also clarified as much as possible.

But it put an end to the craze for young wizards to ask for autographs as celebrities, and many people no longer treated him as enthusiastically as before.

It's the little snakes who often stare at him stupidly when they eat or go to class.

Even......

During a Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

Ringo wasn't as comfortable as he used to be.

- Quirrell, the dog, along with Voldemort on the back of his head, probably saw the article too, and frequently wandered around him during class, observing it intentionally or unintentionally......

Frankly.

Ringo enjoyed being a celebrity in the first days - he had a desperate thirst for fame, both in his past and in this life, and he would not hide it.

But Voldemort's attention......

And it's not the attention of being treated as an enemy, it is the kind of attention that is treated as a cub......

He was speechless.

It doesn't matter if others don't know, can he still not know who his biological parents are when he has a memory for a long time?

Although he didn't think highly of Voldemort in his heart.

But just in case.

In the following month, he still kept a lot of low profile, and even stopped deliberately behaving in class unless the professor called him.

It's not lonely......

Because usually Penelope and Hermione accompany them to practice spells or go to the library.

And.

With the rise in attention.

After all, many people noticed the significance of "Analytic Transfiguration" and began to try to write letters to Ringo with an owl, which made his expectation of being a pen pal with a celebrity or a great wizard come true......

……

The first to write was the editor, Ms. Thurkel.

In the letter.

She once again praised Ringo, expressing her satisfaction with the success of the magazine and the increase in her performance bonuses, and expressing her desire to speak with Ringo, who had been writing more on analytic Transfiguration since Ringo.

Something she didn't know needed to ask Ringo for advice.

Ringo naturally agreed.

The second messenger was a bit unexpected, Arthur Weasley, the father of the Weasley family.

The director of the Office of the Ministry of Magic's Office for the Illegal Use of Muggle Supplies, who was particularly interested in Muggles, came up and honestly stated that he could not read the paper.

However, he asked Dumbledore what he thought of the paper.

Once he had found that it did make sense, he tentatively asked Ringo to buy as many Muggle textbooks as possible.

Ringo promised him.

Weasley happily introduced Ringo to a number of colleagues - in fact, there were only two, one was Perkins, the only colleague in his department, and the other was Rufus Scrimgeur, the director of the Auror Office.

The former is written to tout.

The latter, on the other hand, insightfully pointed out the merits of the paper, while also criticizing the paper for being harmful to Muggles, which Ringo ignored.

Besides.

The letters that follow are much more normal, most of them are wizards who have studied Transfiguration, and many of them have published papers in Transfiguration Today.

Most of them agree with Ringo's routine.

Some directly express more communication.

Others left a lot of questions about Transfiguration at the back of the letter, with the simple purpose of saying that although Ringo's thesis was of a good level, he was only 11 years old, and if he wanted to become a pen pal with them, if not difficult, at least he had to see the real level.

Ringo answered their questions very carefully.

And there was no boredom or resistance.

Because these are real intellectual talents, they like to go straight, and once the problems raised are solved, they tend to make Ringo improve a lot.

He loved it.

That's it.

Time passes slowly.

It gradually came to the end of October, close to Halloween, and on the 26th, Ringo, who was eating in the auditorium, greeted a large number of letters as usual.

And in casual flipping.

Suddenly stunned: "Newt Scamander sends, Ringo Shelby receives?" Newt? Newt's letter? ”
