"I'm sorry, Professor Flitwick, Professor Dumbledore asked me to inform Anderson to be interviewed by the Daily Prophet." Almost Headless Nick appeared at the door of the Charms classroom, interrupting the Charms class, and said to Professor Flitwick who looked up.
"Oh, the champion interview? Go ahead, Mr. Anderson, I think missing a class won't be a big deal for you." Professor Flitwick gave Albert a gentle smile.
"See you later!"
Albert quickly packed up his things, said goodbye to his three roommates, and left with Nick, who was almost headless, at the door.
The students in the spell classroom began to whisper. Everyone knew what the interview was about. After all, the British wizarding world hadn't won the Magic School Potions Championship for a long time.
Albert followed Nick to a smaller classroom where most of the desks had been pushed to the back of the classroom, leaving a large open space in the middle.
There were already two people inside, one of whom was Rita Kister, whom Albert had met once before. She was talking to a photographer with a camera.
"Great, our champion is here."
Hearing the footsteps, Rita Skeeter turned her head to look at the door, walked quickly to Albert's side, reached out and grabbed his shoulders, trying to pull him to the seat next to her.
However, Rita Skeeter soon found that she couldn't pull the man in front of her at all. Albert stood there like a stone sculpture.
"I suggest we find a quiet place to conduct the interview," Albert suggested calmly, glancing at the photographer holding the camera.
"Sorry, Fu Zuo, can you give us some private time for the interview?" Rita Skeeter said to the photographer beside her.
"no problem!"
The man named Fu Zuo glanced at Albert, nodded at Rita Skeeter, and turned and left.
"Now that he's gone, no one will interrupt this interview." Rita Skeeter closed the classroom door and turned to Albert and said, "Can we start the interview?"
"Do you know why I am willing to accept your interview?" Albert ignored Rita Skeeter's raised eyebrows and looked into her eyes. "If I don't accept the interview, you will probably make up some messed up stories, and I don't like that."
“People like to see something special.”
In response to Albert's accusations, Rita Skeeter said disapprovingly.
"I don't want you to make up stories about me. I think we reached an agreement on this matter last time, otherwise you would have been in Azkaban prison long ago. By the way, there are many Dementors outside the school."
"You are threatening me."
Rita Skeeter looked at Albert with interest. She was not afraid of threats, and this was not the first time she had been threatened.
"You can think of it this way." Albert pulled out his wand and pointed it at the notebook floating in the air. The first few pages were torn off by an invisible force, and they burned directly in the air, quickly turning into a pile of ashes.
"I know you journalists are a bunch of people who only want to stir up trouble. I can provide you with some content that you might be interested in, but I don't want any messy negative news about me to appear in the newspapers."
"Something interesting?"
"Yeah, interesting stuff."
"Tell me about it," Rita Skeeter agreed.
Rita Skeeter hated being threatened by a young brat, but she decided to put up with it.
In the past, she had written many reports and annoyed many people, but no one had ever made her feel this bad.
This guy looked more difficult to deal with than expected, especially his eyes. The feeling of being seen through made her uncomfortable.
Rita Skeeter sat down and listened to Albert's recollections of the Potions Tournament.
"You think Guy Bernard is the grandson of President Bernard of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association." Rita Skeeter knew she had hit the nail on the head. "Have you known him for a long time?"
"It's what you think, not what I think." Albert corrected himself. "I just told you the process of the Potions Championship. The rest are the results you got from listening, summarizing, and comparing with the past."
Rita Skeeter's mouth twitched, but she still understood what Albert meant.
“That is, after the second round, everyone realized the relationship between Bernard and his grandson.”
"You can assume that everyone is angry about being treated as a suspect, especially after learning about this incident."
"Do you think President Bernard has already designated his grandson as the champion?"
"It's not what I think, it's what you think." Albert corrected again, "I just recounted what happened during the game. The rest is your summary and conclusion. It has nothing to do with me. Do you understand?"
Rita Skeeter curled her lips in disdain, but was still very excited. The organizers of the Potions Championship actually cheated, and in the end she lost to Albert Anderson. This was undoubtedly big news.
"Who attacked Guy Bernard?" Rita Skeeter changed her tone. "What was the point of stuffing aliottia leaves in his mouth?"
"I don't know. Maybe they are making fun of Bernard's grandson. At present, the contestant from Ugadou is the most suspicious."
"Wagadou contestant?"
"That guy not only attacked me, but also attacked and eliminated the contestant from Kodosdoriz. He is very good at using wandless magic, so he is not afraid of being discovered by the Flashback Spell."
"How did you beat that Vagado player?" Rita Skeeter became more and more excited, and all kinds of dirty stuff came out of Albert's mouth as if they were free.
"It was just a little bit of luck. When I was attacked, I could only hastily use the Iron Armor Spell to defend myself. In the end, it seemed that the spell rebounded, causing the player Vagadu to be hit by the rebounded Stun Spell and pass out."
Albert also revealed that the organizers of the event had modified the original rules of the competition, causing many players to be trapped by the new rules, and that the overall level of the players this year was still very high.
He also introduced to Rita Skeeter the difference between this Potions Championship and the previous one, which basically confirmed the fact that President Bernard used his power to try to help his grandson cheat.
After Guy Bernard was eliminated, he abused his power and asked people to check everyone's wands. In the end, not only did he fail to find the murderer who attacked Guy Bernard, but he also annoyed everyone.
Then, it was mentioned that the principal of Castrobus had objections to the jury's scoring, which ultimately forced the jury to re-evaluate.
"Has the principal of Castrobus also realized that the judges were not fair in their scoring?" Rita Skeeter didn't believe that the other party was so kind.
“We both have shrinking potions, and everyone can see that my copy is better than Castrobusche’s. If Castrobusche’s score is higher than mine, everyone will think he cheated.
Rita Skeeter looked very excited. The information Albert provided her was enough to write an attractive report.
"I hope you can remember what I said. You definitely don't want me to cause you trouble." Albert warned kindly.
Rita Skeeter suddenly realized why Albert had given the interview and why he had told her all this.
Because President Bernard had given him trouble during the competition.
This is naked revenge.
This report is all "analyzed from Albert's interview".
He is taking advantage of himself.
What a sinister and cunning guy.
Damn Gryffindor, why didn't he go to Slytherin
Rita Skeeter remembered something else. There seemed to be a call for Albert Anderson to be awarded the title of "British Youth Representative of the Wizengamot".
Dumbledore once held this title. It is said that wizards with this title will eventually become members of the Wizengamot.
If you think about it carefully, the guy in front of you is simply a replica of Dumbledore. Before he even left school, he already possessed countless dazzling halos.
Two world class champions.
Moreover, he is only starting fifth grade now. God knows how many titles this guy will get after he leaves school
Worst of all, this guy doesn't look like Dumbledore at all.
He has a dark heart, holds grudges, and is very good at taking revenge on others.
Rita Skeeter had no doubt that Albert would gain power. A black-hearted man with a smile on his face should not be provoked casually. Just look at President Bernard who is about to get into trouble. He is the best ready-made case. When this report comes out, that guy's reputation will probably be ruined.
Not only will it stink in the streets, but it will also make you a laughing stock for everyone.
It's so embarrassing that I lost even after cheating like this!
And what about Albert
He will soon win countless good reputations for himself and be regarded as a true hero by everyone.
