And even though this guy is an idiot, he still has real qualities in Quidditch. As long as he doesn't get involved in those tricks in the future, Harry doesn't mind letting him act like a prodigal son.
In addition, he can also let him teach Will to play Quidditch by the way. Although Will's goal is to become a chaser, he is not completely in line with Ludo, who is a hitter, but he is better than those amateur coaches no matter what.
After solving Ludo's matter, Hermione also came back later. The couple haven't seen each other for a few days, so it's naturally Xiao Biesheng~
Of course, Harry didn't forget to bring back a gift for Hermione, which was the same style as Luna's, an amethyst-polished griffin ornament.
It is lifelike, and it can also fly, which naturally pleases the girl's heart, and directly causes someone to take off with the griffin ornament at night...
For the next few days, Harry never went to find Nicole Flamel. Instead, he hid in the alchemy laboratory alone, staying with Norbeta, Zouwu, Nagini, and a certain prisoner who had been imprisoned every day. Some training and research that will come in handy in a few months.
Regarding the Philosopher's Stone, Harry didn't really want to make a decision now.
Indeed, he now knew that this blood-red stone was really not a good thing, and it could even be said to be an evil thing.
And Nicole Flamel probably wanted him to know this, so that Harry could make a decision whether to continue using it...or destroy it.
But on top of that, Harry had been thinking about something else.
My teacher is very good, why do I have to let myself understand these?
The trip to Armenia may have been a temporary idea, but even if I didn't go on the pilgrimage, wouldn't the teacher tell me all this clearly?
Obviously, the other party will definitely say it, and the purpose is still to let oneself make a choice.
But...if the Philosopher's Stone is destroyed, it means that the elixir of life can no longer be made...
Fast forward to April, and during this Easter period of 1995, a lot really happened.
"The Daily Prophet" and "The Quibbler" released a statement from the British Ministry of Magic at the same time: Harry's previous trip to Albania was true, and he really met the mysterious man, and he was with the mysterious man and His subordinates won a complete victory in the confrontation and successfully forced the opponent away.
Of course, this also means that the mysterious man has secretly returned!
Not only that, there was a serious jailbreak incident in Azkaban before, which was planned by the mysterious person, and now a group of Death Eaters have returned to his command.
The Ministry of Magic has always kept this matter under wraps, and this time it took the opportunity to publicly apologize to the public.
The sudden news shocked the whole of England, and also caused an uproar in Europe. While all the wizards were shocked by Harry's current strength, they would inevitably be dominated by the fear of the past again.
For a time, the "bad news" spread all over the streets and alleys, and almost everyone in the British wizarding world was in danger. People stayed at home and did not come out. Hogwarts even set off a loud shout of quitting school.
Even Diagon Alley, which used to be full of people, has become extremely deserted after Easter...except for Granger's House of Everything.
Master's House was one of the few stores that didn't close. Of course, Harry didn't plan to close at all. He was gradually replacing Dumbledore and became the weather vane against Voldemort. Naturally, he wanted to hang high the banner and move forward.
The Weasley brothers, who went back to work during the holidays, even developed a series of special joke products to express the attitude of Master House towards the 'Return of Voldemort'.
Edible Dark Mark - Whoever eats it will be disgusted;
Toy Death Eater gallows - hang him if you dare to approach;
They even had a huge purple banner hanging on the third floor of the shop.
'Why are you worried about YOU-KNOW-WHO?
you should care
Constipation Kernel (U-NO-POO)——
The feeling of constipation afflicts the Chinese people! '
Well, although it is a bit difficult to be elegant, this obvious attitude of ridiculing Voldemort undoubtedly shows great courage in this special period.
Also not intimidated by Voldemort, there are also the principals of the three European schools. They jointly issued a statement on the "Daily Prophet", stating that the last Triwizard Tournament will be held as usual, and the time is set on the evening of June 6. !
At the same time, Dumbledore also added a sentence in the newspaper: Hogwarts is the safest place in England, and we will definitely ensure the safety of every student!
Correspondingly, "The Quibbler" published a series of deeds of Harry's previous confrontation with all kinds of monsters and monsters, and the protection of Hogwarts. A photo of the Eagle Patronus breaking through the Dark Mark.
It's like telling the readers... In the past few years, Hogwarts is actually the safest because of Harry~
Of course, in any case, "The Quibbler" can be regarded as an indirect evidence of Lao Deng's speech in the "Daily Prophet", and this is also a rare time when the two major media publications cooperate with each other.
The reason, of course, is that the "Daily Prophet" has now completed the change of hands.
Harry got a chance to meet Barnabas Guffy, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, and they had a pretty good chat.
In other words, the "Daily Prophet" is actually about to fail.
After all, no matter how old a newspaper it is, it can't change the fact that the base of British wizards is small, so newspaper sales can only meet daily expenses. When it comes time to make big moves, they need sponsorship and advertising support.
However, in the past two years, the "Daily Prophet" has been firmly controlled by the Ministry of Magic and the pure-blood families, and has to fight against the "Quieker" again and again, and every time they fight, they will definitely lose a piece of paper. A batch of old customers.
Until now, they have almost been able to rely on the Ministry of Magic and pure-blood families to support them, but these two 'golden fathers' are about to be disabled by Harry, so they really can't be moved...
But now the enemy has become a family, which is actually a dream for the editor-in-chief Gu Fei.
He wasn't a politician in the first place, he was just a businessman who wanted to run the newspaper, so how could he have trouble with Qian Tu~
"I have found an organization!"
The guy almost said that to Harry explicitly.
After all, Harry is now a powerful party in public opinion, and it is much easier to make news about him than to find excuses and excuses for the Ministry of Magic.
Chapter 720 Nobeta is going to make trouble
By the way, what's Harry's journalistic style?
Simply put, just two words, strong!
He said that the Ministry of Magic has always released the photos, played the audio recordings, and then analyzed all kinds of evidence, and it can directly take pictures of the opposite side.
And the editor-in-chief Gu Fei, who had been forced to fight before, finally tasted the sweetness of being teammates with Harry.
For example, the "Daily Prophet" announced the internal position adjustment news of the Ministry of Magic. Arthur Weasley replaced Dolores Umbridge as the Senior Deputy Minister of Magic and Acting Minister. At the same time, the former Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt succeeds Piers Thicknesse as Director of Law Enforcement and more.
As soon as these related matters came out, the special issue of "The Quibbler" immediately followed up with the evidence of Fudge, Umbridge, and Thicknesse's secret exchanges, as well as the bribes received from the major pure-blood families. Full marks.
And what the "Daily Prophet" is going to do at this time, it is natural to publish an accountability letter on behalf of the majority of old customers, asking the current transitional leadership team of the Ministry of Magic whether to pursue these things, when will the investigation be completed, And they are required to publish the results anytime and anywhere for public supervision and inspection.
After that, if the Ministry of Magic ignores it, then Aite and the others will continue to be on the headlines every day, and they will take the trouble to carry out accountability; but if the Ministry of Magic chooses to publicize... sorry, you go to other media, we Your authorized release is not accepted.
In this way, the Ministry of Magic can only find other channels of cooperation—such as "Wizard Weekly", and publish some government orders and statements there.
But do you think that's the end of it?
Of course not~
After the news of "Wizard Weekly" is released, Gu Fei will rush to buy out the exclusive copyright as soon as possible. If you don't sell it, you will be hacked together.
Either you follow the Ministry of Magic and hit the south wall until you die, and in the end you are hit by the two giants of newspapers and magazines and lose your money; or you follow the big brother and second brother to drink soup, and if you are lucky, you may even pick up meat scraps... you Speaking of how "Wizard Weekly" will choose, of course it is to pick up money happily~
And after these news from the Ministry of Magic are snatched up by the "Daily Prophet", when and how much will be released is beyond the control of the Ministry of Magic.
After being educated by Harry, the editor-in-chief Gu Fei has deeply realized his mistake... They are media people, how can they casually release fake news like before?
However, taking out of context and partial concealment does not mean complete falsification, and some manipulations can also be made in terms of timeliness.
Cool~
Being able to make the Ministry of Magic look at the face of the newspaper in turn, Gu Fei, who has been shaved all over his head for the past two years, was so happy that he danced in the office.
And during this period, there was also a certain half-blood giant who had just won a new favorite, who was equally happy from ear to ear.
Harry and Hagrid's legal qualifications for raising dragons have been approved. All of them are unique private qualifications since the legislation. Really couldn't be more true.
Hermione also planned to use her own participation as a condition before, so that Harry could have the qualification to legally raise dragons, but at that time, she wanted to hang the qualification under the name of Hogwarts, but in the end, Lao Deng secretly changed the concept and put Her request was changed to a reward for winning the game.
As a result, Harry's dragon has nothing to do with Hogwarts at all.
In addition to legal qualifications, Hagrid of course received his own long-horned dragon egg as he wished, and now he is taking care of it lovingly every day.
This egg, Harry planned to let Hagrid try to incubate it himself.
After the last incident, Harry felt a little more guilty about not being able to protect Hagrid, so he also forged a wristband for Hagrid.
Harry's magic power was attached to the wristband, and as long as Hagrid could fuse his own magic power with it, maybe they could inject magic power into the egg in the form of flame together.
During this period, coupled with Norberta's breath assistance, Hagrid might actually be able to hatch a baby dragon that recognizes him as its mother.
However, Norberta completely rejected Harry's idea at first.
The female fire dragon said righteously, Harry, you are my mother's private property, and what you have done is purely hurting the heart of a young girl.
She's still a big female dragon with yellow flowers, she hasn't even conceived a child, why should she have to help others hatch her eggs... What's more, the ones hatched are not of the same species at all!
Besides, even if you really want to hatch, you have to hatch the one born with me, right~
So... if you consider having a litter with me, you don't mind hatching another one after I lay it out.
How about it, let's treat you as flesh and blood, do you want to do it?
As for the performance of the female Charmander in this series of sitting on the ground, Harry said...
"Nobeta, your recent drama is really over~"
In the alchemy laboratory, Harry, who was observing the snake's blood with a microscope, had no choice but to flick the howling miniature fire dragon beside him.
But even so, the latter climbed onto Harry's shoulder persistently, while licking Harry's cheek with his little tongue.
And right now, Harry, who was busy observing the growth of a group of 'little cuties', didn't have time to play with it repeatedly, so he could only let it lie there.
The behavior of the female charmander has started to be strange again recently. Counting the days, Harry even thinks that a new round of that period has come again.
Moreover, its strangeness this year has obviously increased a lot compared to last year.
The first thing to bear the brunt of the specific performance is naturally being too close to Harry. Since Harry brought it back from the Forbidden Forest, it doesn't even return to the suitcase now, and it keeps shrinking by Harry's side every day.
Whether Harry is in the nursing home, or going to the alchemy laboratory or anywhere, it will follow him every step of the way.
But it doesn't always want to make troubles like it did last year, and it often gets tired of Harry's side like before, and Harry can let it be happy... Besides, as long as it sells a little 'hue', it will be fine. Let Norbeta help Hagrid hatch dragon eggs, so why not do it~
However, another strange place is...it actually started to read a book!
In other words, when Harry found out that Norberta was reading the magazine with gusto, he was really surprised. He wondered when this female charmander, who couldn't even learn to use magic power to make a sound, started to have this hobby. .
But later, when Harry found out that Norberta was actually reading the swimsuit magazine he had given to Wolf Beauty, he suddenly felt bad...
Damn... the female Charmander, does it want to evolve?
On the day when the incident happened, Norberta was still vaguely arguing with Harry, but in the end, Harry directly pressed the index fingers of both hands against his temples, causing it to scream in pain.
"Still looking at beautiful women? Isn't Furong beautiful enough? You never looked at her when you were in my pocket!"
So it paid the price for its lies...
How should I put it, although it was a dumbfounding thing, Harry thought it was serious.
Norbeta's behavior shows that it has never stopped thinking about itself, and as it grows older, its ideas have become corrected, and it has learned to conceive plans!
Reading swimsuit magazines or something, is it inappropriate to transform? !
Chapter 720 The sixth is that you really can't mess with those who study medicine
In other words, regarding Norberta's secret poking about wanting to become a human being, Harry tried his best to persuade him.
He's not saying that he has to trample on the maiden's heart of the female fire dragon, but it's really, really unreliable.
As I said before, the HP world is just a real world of low force and light magic. Modern wizards can't even control the power of elements, let alone those forbidden curse level wide-area combat magic that can easily destroy the world.
Therefore, under the limitation of such a world view with low combat power, the female fire dragon wants to be like a general magic... No, it should be said that it is like the fire dragon in the modern Chinese fantasy novels, which finally transforms into a human form through cultivation, basically pure Pure wishful thinking...
Even if it has the Hoomanmagus secretly cultivated by Harry, it is useless.
Because the essence of the so-called Human Magus Transformation is still the humanoid restoration spell, in other words... If there is no human blood in the organism, then it is impossible for the Human Magus to succeed.
Then, after Norberta found out about this, she was really depressed for a few days...
But only for a few days.
After that, it started to cling to Harry again, and it couldn't be driven away no matter how hard it tried.
But Harry did not relax his vigilance because of this, but became more worried.
After all, if Norberta just gave up her plan to become a human, it would really not be a good thing...
"Okay, stop making trouble, I still have to give people an injection~"
Putting the miniature fire dragon that had been on his shoulder into his pocket, Harry prepared the relevant equipment, and most importantly, the snake blood that had been cultivated many times, and took them into the magic lockbox in the corner of the laboratory.
