Chapter 58: That's right, I'm threatening you
As early as the day before the start of the game, Zhang Xiao asked his father to tell Lucius to lend Dobby to Huaxia.
The reason is to train in food and beverage skills, which is the reason that Pony came up with.
He didn't care what Zhang Xiao borrowed Dobby for, the boss could use it if he wanted to, on the contrary, he was very looking forward to asking Zhang Xiao if he could really train Dobby to train his cooking skills.
What else can Zhang Xiao say? Just let Dobby stay in Huaxia for a while longer, just in the capital, there are a few special chefs in charge of the state banquet, Dobby will honestly learn cooking.
In short, Daddy promised that during his stay in Huaxia, he would never let Dobby leave.
Zhang Xiao came to the box specially reserved for the Daily Prophet, which was already full of all kinds of equipment.
It can be seen that the Daily Prophet attaches great importance to this interview, and is surrounded by a busy interview team.
"Hurry! Are the Developer Potions and Activity Potions ready? ”
"Can you capture the whole scene from this location?"
"Idiot! Don't use the levitation charm, you'll make a mess of the whole thing!
Oh, Merlin! Are your hands an ornament? ”
In this chaotic environment, Zhang Xiao did not walk in, but stood politely at the entrance of the passage, so as not to disturb this group of busy dizzy wizards.
There was a woman in bright colors in the crowd who stood out unusually because she was the only one standing to the side, watching the others busy.
She wore a pair of jeweled glasses, her blonde hair curled in large curls, and a crocodile-skin tote bag.
This must be Rita Skeeter, right? Zhang Xiao looked at her silently.
Rita Skeeter apparently spotted Zhang Xiao as well, her teeth bared, a smile that she clearly thought she was charming, and her fingers waving at him with her fingers outstretched.
Then, like a fat beetle, she quickly walked up to him with her little short legs, and after a little thought, said:
"Rita Skeeter, Staff Writer for The Daily Prophet! You're Zhang, aren't you? ”
Zhang Xiao nodded:
"Zhang Xiao."
Rita covered her mouth and let out a 'giggle' laugh, which reminded Zhang Xiao of the hen laying eggs:
"Kid, you don't know how famous you are, of course, in a gathering above some level, ordinary wizards can't participate in it."
"Oh, is it? I'm glad I did. Zhang Xiao still looked at her calmly, as if she wasn't talking about herself.
Rita looked at him in some surprise, then smiled exaggeratedly and pulled out a green quill and a roll of parchment from her purse.
Ignoring the angry eyes of her colleagues, she casually pulled over a wooden box that the cameraman had just placed.
She put the tip of the pen in her mouth, sucked it for a while as if it were something delicious, and then placed it upright on the parchment.
"Zhang, you don't mind if I use a shorthand pen, do you? Then I can talk to you normally.
I wanted to have a little interview before the game started, countless readers want to know more about you, believe me, just one report, I can take you to the next level, you will become a star in the wizarding world! ”
A trace of ice crystals appeared on the quill, and it was quickly frozen into something like an ice feather.
"Sorry, I'm not being interviewed." Zhang Xiao inserted the wand back into her waist, what kind of goods Rita is, it is still clear, her famous work "Armando Dipet: Master or Idiot? Zhang Xiao has seen it.
That is, Dumbledore himself locked himself up with the 'rules', otherwise it would be a problem if Rita was still there.
Do you have the skills to write a biography of Newgamond?
Rita's laughter seemed to choke on something, and she thought that a 12-year-old would get dizzy if she only had to praise a few words.
At this time, she took the opportunity to ask some insiders of the Oriental family, such as love and hatred, illegitimate children, and so on.
She even thought about the content - "Although Zhang was born into a mysterious and wealthy powerful family, his heart is not as happy as everyone guesses, and wealth and power cannot erase the pain in his heart.
When the author asked this question, there was a hint of sorrow on the little face that looked very delicious, and the struggle for inheritance was not commensurate with his age.
Zhang Xiao snapped her fingers, and Rita immediately felt that the surroundings were quiet, and the noise was as if it was isolated from the outside by an invisible cover.
Damn it! This is the strength of a 2nd grade wizard? No wand, no sound? The corners of Rita Skeeter's eyes twitched, and she habitually showed her false smile, and she wanted to speak.
But I heard Zhang Xiao come over, looked at herself, and said softly:
"I don't care what you usually write and how you write it, but this game starts, and when it comes to the Slytherin part, I hope you can.
Objective and impartial"
Rita Skeeter pressed her bright red nail polished index finger against her chin:
"I'm sorry, Zhang, can I understand that you are threatening me?"
"Yes, you can understand it as a threat, coercion or anything like that, there are many ways, some people like to coerce with force, and some people like to threaten with power"
Zhang Xiao pulled out her wand and lightly tapped it on her handbag, which shattered open with a scream from Ritaski, revealing a tiny typewriter about the size of a palm, crackling and typing.
"Coincidentally, whether it is strength or power, I am not lacking!"
In Rita's distorted gaze, Zhang Xiao waved her wand, and the typewriter made a crackling sound, which directly distorted into a ball.
Zhang Xiao smiled and turned to leave:
"Of course you can try, I promise, all the British newspapers will never publish a word of you again!"
Just kidding, 80 percent of the British wizarding press is in the hands of the Pure-Blood Alliance, and the remaining 20 percent are extremely pure-blood.
Unfortunately, it's all gone out of business.
Rita Skeeter stared at Zhang Xiao's back with angry and distorted eyes, but then she couldn't help but be a little panicked, if she couldn't publish another report, it would be even more uncomfortable than killing her.
"He's scaring me, a little wizard in the second grade, where did he get the confidence to ban me?"
Rita Skeeter tried her best to comfort herself, but when she thought of the background and power that she had overheard about this child as a beetle, she became more and more alarmed.
Especially about the fact that the Shafiq family was wiped out and could only go to the United States, and in the news she learned, it was this child who decided to attack the Shafiq family because of 'a little quarrel'.
By the end of the competition, Rita Skeeter had finally made up her mind and wrote two articles! One is written as he likes, and the other is according to Zhang Xiao's requirements.
When the time comes, it depends on the situation!
Distressed, she pulled out her wand and tried to thaw the frozen quill, but no matter how much she tried, it was to no avail, this was her favorite quill!
Rita was angry and couldn't help but feel a little afraid, only the strength of the second year is like this, after graduation.
Zhang Xiao sat in the box, and at this time the players from both sides had arrived in the center of the field, and the Quidditch referee, Mrs. Hodge, asked the captains of both sides to shake hands.
Since playing Flint from captain to ordinary chaser, Wood feels that his life has been much lonelier, and he has not had the opening scene of pinching each other with Flint, as if he has no soul.
"Listen to my whistle," Lady Hodge didn't care about Wood's thoughts, on the contrary, she was very satisfied with the current game, and to be honest, since the Slytherin was no longer playing tricks, even the game was much easier, and she didn't have to blow the whistle as often as she could!
Her yellow pupils glanced at both sides again: "Three-two-one-"
The crowd was in a roar as they took off, and the fourteen members of the team jumped into the lead-gray sky together.
And Zhang Xiao also had a leisurely mentality, and watched such a non-disruptive Quidditch game for a long time.
