In addition to being a special correspondent for the Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter is also an unregistered Animagus, and her Animagus is a rare little beetle flying around. Go, it provides great convenience for her to find news materials! After all, no one can care about a bug at any time, right?
Because she likes to criticize everything in the magic world! No matter who it is, no matter how much power that person has! Even Dumbledore's recognized wizarding elders are often reported by her to have some negative reports! So, of course, this kind of report she wrote is especially popular with some wizards!
I remember that last year, the Daily Prophet published a news that Gringotts was invaded. That report was an incident that was dug up by Rita Skeeter in time! After being published at that time, there was a wave of public opinion and made the original newspapers sell out! And now only a year later, another extraordinary event has happened in Gringotts! And this huge incident was fortunately informed by Rita Skeeter!
One of her wizard friends notified her of this incident in time! At that time, her friend happened to be preparing for work at Gringotts Wizarding Bank. He witnessed the first half of the incident when the little girl instantly subdued all the guards! Therefore, after he ran out of Gringotts with the crowd, he immediately sent her an emergency message! This allowed Rita Skeeter to Apparate in time to Diagon Alley, witnessing and filming the entire subsequent battle!
So, the next day! The most influential daily prophet in the magic world, with a thunderous momentum, published the entire page of the Gringotts event on the front page before the Ministry of Magic responded! This incident is like a blockbuster, hitting the wizarding society that has been calm for many years because of the disappearance of mysterious people!
In fact, the Daily Prophet is not only the front page headline, but also all the news related to the incident! This immediately ignited the public opinion of the entire magic world! Wizards rushed to tell each other, even those wizards who almost never read newspapers also paid generously to buy them. They all wanted to know if things were true! Even if the Daily Prophet printed a constant number of newspapers, they were all sold out in a short period of time! The enthusiasm of wizards to buy newspapers suddenly became unprecedentedly high!
"These bastards! Take a look! Take a look at what they wrote! Didn't I tell you the news of the seal lock? How do you do this? This is how you conduct public opinion supervision?" Fudge in the Office of the Minister of Magic The minister roared and threw a copy of the Daily Prophet of the day into his secretary's face!
And the secretary just laughed awkwardly, and then carefully picked up the newspaper from the ground. When I opened it, I saw that the newspaper was written in huge letters on the front page: Big news! One year later! Gringotts is invaded again! The Auror of the Ministry of Magic was wiped out? Then, under the title, a small text was used to roughly explain the battle process, and on the side of the small text was a huge dynamic magic photo! The picture shows a bunch of Aurors strapped to stone pillars and dejected. Of course, the Minister of Magic Fudge! In the photo, he is also placed in the most conspicuous place, highlighting his trembling performance when standing on the side! Let people who don't know the truth first see how incompetent this Minister of Magic is! Not how strong the enemy is!
"How dare they? How dare to do this! Don't they know the horror of the little girl? How can we be blamed for this? These bastards! These chores!" Minister Fudge continued to growl hysterically !
The horror that Fudge felt when facing the little girl yesterday, Fudge still has a lingering fear! Is such an existence comparable to the Ministry of Magic? You know, even Dumbledore who arrived in time was shocked on the spot! Therefore, it is not that our army is incompetent! But the enemy is too strong!
There have been more witnesses to these things! Why don't they write this in the Daily Prophet? Just come to write about him Fudge? Is this aimed at? Must be? Could it be that his position as minister is so eye-catching? Just want to change the law and shoo yourself to step down?
"Uh...!" Looking at the furious minister, the secretary shrank his head, and the witty did not dare to talk!
The leader is losing his temper. Now if he dares to speak sophistry, he will probably be unlucky! The best thing to do now is not to say a word and keep being scolded honestly! Give the minister a vent! When the minister had enough scolding, tired of scolding, and his anger was almost gone, it was the time for his secretary to come forward and speak!
So, the secretary lowered his head, and while scolding, he secretly opened the second page of the newspaper. Today, the newspaper came in a rush, and he didn't have time to read the rest of it! While the Minister is losing his temper, he has to look at the content quickly, and then he will find a way to deal with it!
After the secretary turned to the second page, I saw it read: Shocking News! A powerful mysterious little girl emerges in the magic world! Below the title is a detailed description of the mysterious little girl's battle process and the day's record! Including the complete destruction of the guards of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, the instant disarming to subdue dozens of Ministry of Magic Aurors, and the killing of an ancient white dragon! Of course, at the end of the article, there is a picture of the white dragon that was burned into a skeleton, and the arrogant and savage flame bear sitting on the dragon's skull!
In the third edition, the title is: Dumbledore or fear losing? Condescend to please the mysterious little girl! Then there are all kinds of malicious speculations in the short section. What is the connection between this mysterious little girl and Hogwarts? Hogwarts students are allegedly involved? Then I also used the photos taken out of context, coupled with the photos of Dumbledore when he was pleased with the little girl, to carry out various unrealistic extensions! Anyway, it's probably just what you write!
The real cause of the incident was not written until the last page of the newspaper, which read: Is Gringotts still safe and trustworthy? Where should our money be deposited in the future? Does the fairy still have the ability to manage the Gringotts Wizarding Bank? According to an insider at the scene, the incident began with a greedy goblin! It greeted the mysterious little girl's gold coins without authorization! In order to recover her own legal property, this led the mysterious little girl to brazenly use force...
For this, relevant sources also revealed that Gringotts has paid a hundred times the compensation! It is rumored that this compensation may have a huge amount of nearly millions of dollars! At the end of the newspaper, it was still indispensable to be accompanied by a photo of the then goblin leader Bogrod sitting on the ground and bowing his head begging for mercy.
"Didn't I specifically instruct you to make your best efforts to keep secrets? Why are they all published in the newspapers? This is how you keep secrets? What use is there for you people?" Minister Fudge After venting his temper, I am still a bit dissatisfied! So he continued to glare and stare at his secretary unanimously.
"I'm really sorry, Minister! Although we did our best to arrange manpower to do it yesterday, but...you must also know that there are too many informed witnesses! We didn't even know that How many wizards did Gringotts leave! There is really no way!" Seeing that the minister seemed to be out of anger, the secretary wisely put away the newspaper, and it was almost time for him to report. !
"You won't act earlier and come to the door one by one? Or use the Forgetting Curse directly!" Fudge immediately said a bad idea.
"Ah! The Forgotten Curse? Minister! Are you kidding me? We must not do that! Those are wizards! Not the Muggles of the outside world! Once we use the Forgotten Curse on the wizards on a large scale, angry people will immediately take you away The position of Minister was overturned!" The secretary was really taken aback by Minister Fudge's whimsical thoughts! Where can I forget it for wizards? This is illegal! If it is used against ordinary Muggles, then forget it! If they dare to use it to deal with wizards, then wait to step down at any time and get out!
"Tsk! Forget it! It's too late to say this now! Then tell me! Now think about how to remedy it? You guys hurry up to discuss, be sure to come up with a charter in the shortest time!" Now that the matter has reached this point, Fudge also knows that it is impossible to restore it! Then try to find a remedy!
The most important thing now is to think about how to remedy it! These reports in the Daily Prophet are too negative for the Ministry of Magic and for Fudge himself as the Minister! Must find a solution as soon as possible! Turn your image back from these negative reports! This is the first thing to do now! Top priority! If it were not for the minister's power to be abused, Fudge would really want to directly order the Prophet Daily to be closed! This newspaper did nothing to add to him!
"Minister! If you look at it from another angle, I think these reports are not all bad for the Ministry of Magic, but for you?" The secretary thought about the reports that I just saw, and suddenly a flash of light in his mind! He seems to have grasped certain points and thought of how to break the game!
Think about it for so many years, the Ministry of Magic has always had a heartache, and has long wanted to intervene in the affairs of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank! Because the benefits here are really amazing! Gringotts can almost be said to monopolize the finance and economy of the entire wizarding world! All deposits and withdrawals and large transactions are all taken over by Gringotts Wizarding Bank! What benefits should there be? Even these years, the financial revenues and expenditures of the Ministry of Magic have to be handled by the goblins of Gringotts Bank!
The ministers of the Ministry of Magic have also thought about taking Gringotts, the only bank in the wizarding world! This is by no means the first time this idea! It's just that it is trapped in the strength of the fairies all the time, and there is no suitable excuse, so this idea will always be shelved!
But the situation is completely different now! Now there is a great opportunity in front of them! I believe that as long as it works well, it may be a little difficult to completely win the Gringotts, but it is absolutely certain to intervene in and occupy a place! This is really a godsend, the Ministry of Magic must take the opportunity to take advantage of it to make those damned fairies look good! You must not miss this opportunity!
"Isn't all bad things? Then maybe there are good things that can't be done? You tell me!" Hearing that his secretary said that it's not all bad things, Fudge, who was relieved, suddenly became interested in listening! He has heard enough bad news today! Now I want to see what kind of good news his secretary can bring himself?
"Minister! That's it! As long as we take the opportunity to push all the blame on the fairies, UU read www.uukanshu.com and then do this again, this way..." The secretary leaned in the minister's ear and whispered. Talking about something.
"Haha! Very good! That's it! I need to see everything you just said on the headline of the Daily Prophet tomorrow! Now, I will delegate this to you! Find some manpower yourself immediately Go and do it! What are you doing in a daze? Go now!" After knowing the secretary's plan, Minister Fudge finally turned from cloudy to sunny, and laughed happily! For him, this idea of the secretary is really good news! Excellent news!
If this is done, he will definitely not worry about someone being able to shake the throne of ministers under him! As long as I can really intervene in the Gringotts and get enough benefits, I believe that the big wizard families have the means to protect themselves! Perhaps, he will become the first Minister of Magic to win the management of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank from the goblin? It is estimated that there will be Merlin medals, right? what! This is really great!
Thinking about the honor that he was going to obtain with this opportunity, Fudge immediately put all the unhappiness behind him! Face or something is not too important! Anyway, your face can’t be eaten as a meal. If you lose it, you will lose it! As long as he seizes the opportunity to obtain sufficient benefits and political capital from this, what does it count for him to lose Fudge once or twice? Now those bugs who are still peeping at themselves in the newspaper are destined to disappoint them! Haha! Just a bunch of bed bugs! Want to spy on Fudge's position as minister? Still tender!
