"That woman definitely did it on purpose."
In the hall of Hogwarts Castle, the girls who had read the latest issue of the Daily Prophet were all furious because Rita Skeeter did not mention Albert's existence in her article about the Triwizard Tournament.
The front page of this issue of the Daily Prophet is more of an exclusive interview with Harry Potter than a report on the Triwizard Tournament. The first page is directly occupied by Harry's photo, and the entire article is about Harry Potter, describing his personal life in an exaggerated way.
As for the names of the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang warriors listed alongside Harry Potter, they only appear in the last line of this article, and even their names are deliberately misspelled.
How does this newspaper not anger Abbott supporters
What is Harry in their eyes
He was a thief who used shameful means to take away the glory of Albert the Warrior.
So, on the day the article was published, many students sent protest letters to the Daily Prophet. Some senior students even sent shouting letters that burned the feather pen on Rita Skeeter's desk to ashes, almost making the special reporter's nose crooked with anger.
It's not her fault that Albert was not mentioned. It was Albert himself who did not allow it to be reported. But how would the students of Hogwarts know about these things? How would the editor of the Daily Prophet know about these things? Anyway, the blame was put on Rita Skeeter.
"That guy definitely did it on purpose!"
Rita Skeeter felt aggrieved, but she didn't say it.
Facing the angry girls in front of him, Albert, who had just finished reading the Daily Prophet, was very calm.
"Yes, it's intentional. We should continue to send Howler letters to Rita Skeeter." Fred started to make a fuss. Anyway, he was very unhappy with Rita Skeeter. That woman had caused a lot of trouble for his father.
"Actually, it was me who asked Rita Skeeter not to mention my name in the newspaper." Albert put down the newspaper and said calmly.
The others around were stunned. What did this mean
What do you mean, I asked Rita Skeeter not to mention my name in the newspapers.
"Why?"
"Literally, you should have read Rita Skeeter's article and see what Harry Potter looks like in her writing." Albert turned to the second page and pointed to a line of words in the newspaper and said, "Listen carefully to this paragraph:
I think my parents gave me that strength. I know if they could see me now, they would be very proud of me.
…Yes, there are nights when I still cry for them, and I don’t feel ashamed to admit it.
… I know nothing can hurt me in the game because they are watching over me…”
"Honestly, I sympathize with Potter." Albert paused and continued, "I dare say he would not say such shameful words. This must be written by Rita Skeeter on purpose to attract everyone's attention. It's disgusting. It should not appear in her article at all."
This article is simply a public execution of Harry, and will definitely become a dark history of the savior Potter.
Albert put down the newspaper and said, "I think if Potter reads this article, he will probably be so ashamed that he will want to find a place to dig a hole and bury himself!"
Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at the report about Harry in the newspaper. Suddenly, they felt that what Albert said made sense. Rita Skeeter liked to process what others said. Instead of letting him report it, it would be better not to be reported. At least such disgusting stuff would not appear in the newspaper.
Albert's words quickly spread throughout the school. Everyone did understand them, but they still had no intention of stopping the practice of sending evil curses to Rita Skeeter. By the way, they also started to hate Harry. Recently, more and more students have been wearing the "Harry Stinky Shit" badge.
Hermione also became a topic of discussion among the girls because she was Harry's first love. Rita Skeeter's mention of Hermione's stunning beauty in the newspaper became a reason for many girls to laugh at Hermione. The giggling Slytherin girls even laughed at Hermione and called her a chipmunk.
As one of the few female friends who had a good relationship with Albert, Hermione was the object of envy of many girls. Rita Skeeter's article directly attracted a wave of fire to Hermione, but she herself did not care too much. She still lived her own life every day and ignored the gossip.
Harry couldn't do what Hermione did. This report attracted a lot of attention and made him very angry, because Harry had never said those disgusting words, and it also made Harry completely recognize the true face of Rita Skeeter.
"Want a handkerchief, Potter, to stop you crying in Transfiguration?" Malfoy had made a sarcastic remark to Harry more than once, in order to avenge the last time Harry had silenced him.
"certainly."
Harry walked towards Malfoy, who had just laughed at him, with a stern face.
Malfoy was also a little stunned, probably not expecting Harry Potter to actually walk towards him. Goyle and Crabbe quickly stood in front of Harry, trying to stop Harry from approaching Malfoy.
"Aren't you going to give me a handkerchief?"
Harry looked at the cowering Malfoy and a victorious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This was a trick he learned from Albert, and it really worked.
As long as I am not embarrassed, you will be embarrassed.
"Get away, Potter, who wants to give you a handkerchief?" Malfoy waved his hands in disgust, as if trying to drive away a strange beast.
"You said you would give it to me." Harry took out his wand from his pocket, quickly cast a spell to freeze Goyle and Crabbe, and moved towards Malfoy.
Recently, he has been trained a lot by Black and Lupin, and his magic skills are much better than those students in the school who don't use magic often.
"You guy?" Without waiting for Malfoy to take out his wand, Harry stared at him again, reached out his hand to take out Malfoy's handkerchief from his pocket and put it in his own pocket, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the handkerchief, so I don't have to worry about crying in the Transfiguration class."
Everyone was stunned by Harry's actions. They never expected that Harry would admit it like this and do such an incredible thing.
At least, no one would dare to ridicule him for this matter anymore.
This scene also left Hermione and Ron stunned.
"you… "
"Albert's advice is that we shouldn't indulge these guys. Ignoring them will only make them become more aggressive. If we want to shut them up, we must show enough toughness. I think what he said makes a lot of sense. Albert will be a good teacher in the future." Harry was in a good mood. Ever since the duel with the Acromantula, he became a lot more confident.
As for the handkerchief, of course I don't plan to take it. I will wait until Malfoy's birthday and send it back to him some other day.
By the way, when is Malfoy's birthday
"I thought you didn't like him," Hermione said tentatively.
"I don't hate him, I just wasn't familiar with him before. But you can't deny that he has always been reliable and a good friend." In fact, Sirius and Lupin wanted him to have a good relationship with Albert. After all, Albert always took good care of his friends, and the two people who worked with him felt this deeply.
Even Harry had to admit that Albert helped to clean up a lot of Hagrid's messes.
After changing his mindset, Harry suddenly began to like this new friend. At least the suggestions given by Albert helped Harry solve a lot of problems.
Ever since the handkerchief incident, there were fewer people mocking Harry, because they found that when they mocked Harry, he would actually smile and chat with them.
For example, if someone mocked Harry about when he became the top student in the school, Harry would say something like, "I have become a warrior in the school, so how come I am not a top student anymore."
Anyway, Harry felt that he had lost a lot of face all of a sudden, and he also liked to walk directly to the other side and argue with others. Seeing the people who had mocked him speechless, Harry felt particularly happy.
Albert had heard about Porter's deeds a long time ago, but he was surprised by the other party's record. How long had he been holding it in for the first time? ...
Albert didn't care about all this. He was now accompanying Fred, George and Lee Jordan to inspect Zokko's joke shop, absorbing the advantages of this joke shop, and preparing to apply these advantages to their future joke shop.
To this end, the three of them got up early in the morning, and after breakfast, they hurried to Hogsmeade on their broomsticks.
Why ride a broomstick
Of course it’s because riding a broom is fast and saves time.
Since Albert's traceless stretching spell technique has gradually matured, he has made three traceless stretching pockets for the three people as their Christmas gifts. Now it is considered to be giving them gifts in advance. With this magical storage pocket, many things have become much easier.
The four of them were the first group of students to arrive at Hogsmeade, so they could observe Zonko's shop as planned. Fred was chatting with Zonko, distracting him, and paying for the dung bombs they had chosen along with several other joke props.
"I think the puppet that vomits candy could be a good reference..."
Albert took over George's notes and read some of the reference points recorded therein. Zonko's joke shop was indeed a bit outdated. Perhaps this was the magical world, a slow-paced life, completely unlike the rapid changes in his previous life. Many things took a long time to change.
"In fact, you can also learn from other stores and use them if we can be of use to you."
Albert thinks that a joke shop should be able to bring novelty, fun and happiness to customers, as if they have entered a fairy tale world.
However, this sounds like a dream. The size of a store is very limited. If you can't blatantly use the Traceless Extension Charm to expand the store, how to display the goods in the store is a question worth thinking about.
"Let's go check out other stores." Fred thought it made sense.
"I'm afraid I have to go first." Albert took out his pocket watch, checked the time and said, "I have a date later."
"Dating."
"Dating."
"Dating."
"How envious." The three said in unison.
"If you're envious, go find a girlfriend yourself." Albert noticed that Isobel was standing on the street not far away and waving at him.
"Forget it. I think opening a store is more important."
“It’s just a disaster there.”
"We don't want to go to the Ministry of Magic and be bullied."
The three of them waved to Albert and went to Davis Bans' shop. Now that they had Albert's funding, they naturally would not give up the opportunity to show their talents.
As for dating, it is simply a waste of their precious time.
Wasting time is a waste of money and life.
Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, Albert sighed softly, and he could understand their thoughts. If he didn't have a cheat, he would probably have to work hard for the future!
"What are you thinking about?"
Isobel walked over here, opened her arms and gave Albert a hug.
"Where do you want to go?" Albert asked, taking Isobel's hand. "Madam Puddifoot's Tea House?"
"Let's go to the Fengya Wizard Clothing Store to choose Christmas gifts first!" Isobel pulled Albert towards the Fengya Wizard Clothing Store.
Albert chooses gifts for old friends every year. For example, in recent years he has given Dumbledore a pair of oddly designed wool socks.
"It seems that you have encountered a lot of troubles recently." Isobel noticed that Albert was distracted when he was choosing things.
"It's all because of the Christmas ball. Sometimes being too popular isn't a good thing." Albert muttered, "Especially after you graduate..."
Albert picked out a lot of woolen products, such as woolen sweaters, woolen hats, woolen socks, woolen gloves and woolen scarves.
"So, you're stuck with the girls?" Isobel raised her eyebrows.
"Well, not really. There's just a tough guy." Albert got a headache whenever he thought of Yanila.
"Miss Yanila?" Isobel was not completely ignorant. Katrina wrote to her every two weeks.
"Yes, that singer lady, I didn't expect her to go to Hogwarts." Albert seemed to have thought of something and suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Next summer, I plan to let them leave England quietly."
"Next summer?" Isobel frowned and said, "Then our... will they attend?"
"Of course I will."
It took them half an hour to pick out the gifts, including gifts for their own family members. Isobel also picked out a pair of woolen gloves for her sister.
Many girls who came here to shop showed surprised expressions when they saw the two of them. They probably didn't expect Albert to buy things with others.
After leaving the Elegant Wizard Clothing Store, Isobel found a time to pack everything into her seamless leather bag, and then went shopping with Albert at Honeydukes Candy Store. However, Honeydukes Candy Store was packed with people, so they decided to go to the Three Broomsticks Bar for a drink first.
When the two were about to enter the Three Broomsticks, they heard a familiar voice: "Is she your girlfriend?"
