An obscure newspaper, the Daily Poison and Antidote, was born.

The newspaper claims to have first-hand knowledge of the Triwizard Tournament and has been officially authorized by the authorities.

Then the shrine maiden and the poison publishing house, Mr. Jerry, and many writers and masters recommended this newspaper to their book friends and fans, and not only that, but many directors and high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic said that the content of this newspaper was true and reliable

A blatant public platform.

Under such a propaganda campaign, many wizards who wanted to find out the truth bought the poison and antidote daily newspaper to understand what happened.

This made the Daily Prophet smell danger, but unfortunately they were now too busy to take care of themselves. A notice of complaint from the Wizengamot shattered the last glimmer of hope for the editor-in-chief of Barnabas Gufe.

The Ministry of Magic has accused the Daily Prophet of maliciously fabricating false information about the Triwizard Tournament and reporting it without authorization, causing a very bad impact. At the same time, Rita Skeeter, a reporter from the Daily Prophet, has repeatedly fabricated false information that has seriously damaged the rights and interests of many wizards, and now these wizards have jointly filed a special complaint against Rita Sky and the Daily Prophet to the Wizengamot, and the two cases will be tried next Monday

Once convicted, Rita Skeeter will face more than just spreading rumors, at least Azkaban's prison package, and maybe she'll meet another former celebrity in prison - Lockhart.

As for the Daily Prophet, although it will not be closed, it will also be jointly and severally liable for improper supervision, and it will be necessary to pay a large amount of Galleons for forgiveness.

"I'm innocent, I'm not fabricating false information! You have no proof! ”

In the Wizengamot courtroom on Monday, Rita Skeeter protested loudly that this was her only chance to be convicted.

In the face of Rita Skeeter's protest, the representative of the plaintiff on the Ministry of Magic simply took out a quill: "Lady Rita Skeeter, do you remember this shorthand quill pen?" It's the one you use a lot, and you should be using it to record a lot of things"

"By the way, do you need to see this?"

The representative of the plaintiff in the Ministry of Magic produced another piece of evidence, not only the pictures but also the sounds. It's the scene where Rita Skeeter makes up the content

How can it be?!

You can even take out such a thing?

Rita Skeeter's eyes widened like a toad in heat.

"This is just one of the pieces of evidence we have."

The representative of the Ministry of Magic walked up to Rita Skeeter, and a soft, whispering voice reached her ears.

"Ladybug lady of the illegal Animagus, I still have an image of your transformation here."

'Boom'

Rita Skeeter only felt her brain spin around, and her body fell limply in her chair without any strength.

This is his biggest secret, and he was discovered

She knew she was finished.

Not to mention the charges of maliciously fabricating and spreading false information, an illegal Animagus alone is enough for her to drink a pot.

Out of the corner of his eye, he casually caught a glimpse of a member of the judgment seat.

A tall figure that makes people feel familiar.

It was Dudley, who was now dressed as a member of the Wizengamot, looking at Rita Skeeter with a condescending smile.

It was like saying, 'I said we'd meet at the Wizengamot, Ms. Rita Skeeter.'"

The next thing is much simpler, because to accept the trial of the Wizengamot, the Daily Prophet can only be forced to suspend updates, and the result is that the approval rating has plummeted, and the image of the Daily Prophet in the minds of many wizards has also collapsed

The Poison & Antidote Daily seized this opportunity perfectly, taking advantage of the fact that the Daily Prophet was not almost crazy to seize its market share, and with the two killer weapons of the Wizard Card Skills and Mr. Jerry's new book serialization, it only took a few days to reach the usual sales volume of the Daily Prophet

It will not be long before it takes the place of the Daily Prophet.

Soon, Rita Skeeter's sentence also came down, and it was not surprising that she faced a ten-year prison sentence for Azkaban, and needed to compensate the wizards who had been maliciously slandered by her for mental damage, and all the property in her name would be auctioned off and repaid for debts.

If she hadn't been driven mad by the Dementors in Azkaban, she would still be released from prison in ten years.

In fact, if someone analyzes these things one by one, they will be able to find that there is a pair of invisible hands in the dark that are controlling everything. Make things bigger step by step, and push the attention to the peak-

This is an obvious act of building momentum

Slap Rita Skeeter to death, cripple the Daily Prophet, and make the Daily Poisons and Antidote famous.

In today's European wizarding world, who else dares to say that they don't know the Poison and Antidote Daily?

After this incident, although the Daily Prophet did not say that it could not be restarted, it was also a great loss of vitality, and once such things as credibility and popular support were lost, it would not only take a long time to get them back, but also a thousand times more efforts.

Serious people who read the Daily Prophet have become the most popular phrase at the moment.

Those who play with public opinion will sooner or later be counterattacked.

For Dudley, who attends Hogwarts, this is a very small episode.

He never took Rita Skeeter seriously, all he wanted was the Daily Prophet, it was too easy to clean up a reporter who liked to spread rumors, this time he didn't even do anything, just revealed some information, and the wizards who had been slandered by her took the initiative to press her to death.

Things like newspapers that reflect and guide public opinion must be firmly in our own hands.

If the Daily Prophet hadn't jumped out and died, it would have been annexed sooner or later, which was part of Dudley's plan, and Rita Skeeter's actions only accelerated the whole process.

The first game of the Triwizard Tournament is still a week away.

The three school warriors didn't know anything about the content of the comparison test, and naturally they were not prepared.

But don't worry, cheating is a habit that has been passed down from time immemorial in Triwizard Tournament.

Karkaroff and Ms. Maxim did their best to use their connections to get the questions of the first contest and reveal them to their heroes.

On the Hogwarts side, Hagrid told them the content, or told them that the word was not appropriate, and he took them directly to a live broadcast.

The content of the first exam of the Triwizard Tournament is - Dragon.

In each of the four huge iron cages, an adult fire dragon was housed.
