Chapter 266: Mr. Lovegood

Gryffindor long table side.

Harry and Ron were also looking at the news in the Daily Prophet.

It looked very oppressive.

The actions of the Death Eaters were becoming more and more rampant.

I don't know how long their quiet school time could be maintained.

"Hey, Harry."

At this time, Hermione's voice came, and the two looked over.

"Oh Hermione, you're here. Do you know about the news today?"

Seeing Hermione arrive, Harry immediately took the newspaper in front of him and showed it to Hermione.

Hermione nodded and continued to speak.

"Well, I saw it. I came here for this matter."

"Harry, you prepare for the next two days. I wrote a letter to Rita to come over for an interview in the next two days."

"Let's take this opportunity of the Ministry of Magic's declining credibility to tell everything you saw in the graveyard originally."

"This statement from the Ministry of Magic absolutely cannot convince the public. People will seek other voices. At this time, it is the golden window for us to speak out."

Hermione didn't have too much nonsense and directly told Harry her plan.

Hearing these words, Harry and Ron were stunned, then looked at each other, and understood Hermione's idea.

"No problem, but... Rita she..."

Harry agreed quickly, but held a very strong distrust of Rita.

After all, that guy caused them a lot of trouble last year, and he had been taken out of context by her more than once.

"Don't worry, Rita won't write nonsense again, I guarantee."

Regarding this, Hermione said very confidently.

Just after speaking, John also popped out.

"Yo, everyone is here."

John came to Hermione's side and smiled at the few people.

"John, you are also here for the Azkaban matter, right?"

Hermione guessed John's intention immediately.

"No, I am here for Harry."

Hermione:?

Harry:?

"Cough, okay, to be precise, it also has something to do with this Azkaban matter."

Seeing Hermione's bad face, John waved his hand to explain.

"Harry, accompany me to Hagrid's hut on Saturday noon to sit for a while."

"I made an appointment with the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler, which is Luna's father, and Rita, to interview us together."

"Take advantage of this..."

"Take advantage of this opportunity of the Ministry of Magic's declining credibility to report the truth we know?"

John was just telling him his plan, and when he finished, Harry had an enlightened expression and answered directly.

Eh?

Enlightened?

John was obviously stunned, looked at Hermione, pointed at Harry, and had a surprised expression.

Hermione just pursed her lips and smiled secretly at this.

Harry rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"It's strange that you two can play together, the words you say are exactly the same..."

How did they manage to use this kind of tacit understanding to sprinkle dog food.

"Ah?"

Hearing Harry's complaint, John was stunned.

Ron on the side couldn't stand it anymore and complained.

"Before you came, she had already told Harry the exact same plan, but you have one more Quibbler than her."

John blinked and understood, looked at Hermione, and smiled.

"Na na na, this is called, heart-to-heart."

"Heart-to-heart my foot!"

Harry and Ron retorted in unison.

After the matter was finalized, there was no resistance.

The news from Luna's side was that Mr. Lovegood agreed.

Rita had no power to refuse.

Dumbledore didn't object either and supported them in accepting the interview.

So time soon reached Saturday.

Hagrid's hut was exceptionally lively today.

Rita was still wearing that iconic dark green robe covered with beetle brooches, sitting on Hagrid's rickety wooden stool with her legs crossed, playing with the quill in her hand.

When Hagrid saw her, he obviously didn't welcome her.

After all, it was this guy in front of him who made his half-giant secret public last year.

"Oh, Mr. Hagrid, don't look at me like that, this time I am your ally."

Rita naturally noticed Hagrid's unkind look, but was not afraid.

Instead, she smiled and tried to curry favor with Hagrid.

Hagrid's nostrils flared, snorted, turned around, picked up the copper pot, and took a big gulp of pumpkin juice.

Turned his back and sulked.

"Maybe inviting Rita to Hagrid's place isn't a good idea?"

John, who was watching this scene from the side, quietly leaned into Hermione's ear and asked in a low voice.

"You know it, yet you still set it here?" Hermione rolled her eyes at John.

"It's just lack of experience..."

Just at this time, Luna came with her father.

Several people stood up one after another and looked over.

As soon as Mr. Lovegood entered the door, he took off the wide-brimmed hat decorated with shriveled jellyfish, bowed elegantly to everyone, and had a very gentle but slightly dreamy smile on his face.

His hair color was exactly the same as Luna's, and even that elusive demeanor was somewhat similar.

His clothing was even more grotesque and unconventional.

Deserving of being her biological father.

"Hello everyone, I am Xenophilius Lovegood, the current editor-in-chief of The Quibbler, and also Luna's father."

As soon as he entered, he introduced himself to everyone present very gentlemanly.

Then his gaze fell on John.

"Mr. Merrick, hearing about you is not as good as seeing you."

He reached out to John, and John also shook his hand back.

"Hello Mr. Lovegood, very happy to see you."

Mr. Lovegood didn't let go of John's hand and continued to smile and speak.

"Originally, I reserved the interview to invite you to be a guest on the mountain, because my daughter seems to have received quite a bit of help from you."

"But I heard that you now need a platform to fight against the Daily Prophet."

"Then of course I have to come in person to help you light this fire even more vigorously."

John blinked in surprise, actually he had also received quite a bit of care from Luna, and then continued to smile: "That's really a big help, sir."

Mr. Lovegood nodded with a smile, and then came to Harry and reached out.

"Mr. Potter, it's really hearing about you is not as good as seeing you."

Such a familiar opening line...

After another round of pleasantries, they sat down one after another and started the interview.

The protagonists were naturally the two, Harry and John. Rita and Lovegood sat opposite each other, while others watched from the side.

"Then let's start with me."

John took the lead.

After all, the content of his interview was a major cause of Voldemort's resurrection. Only after finishing it could he connect to Harry's content.

"Barty Crouch Sr. was actually replaced by his son with Polyjuice Potion for a whole year..."

John explained the conspiracy and truth of last year's Triwizard Tournament to the two.

These contents were naturally known to insiders like Harry.

But the outside world, having suffered a comprehensive blockade by the Ministry of Magic, didn't know the truth at all.

Most people only knew that an accident occurred at the Triwizard Tournament and the Ministry of Magic's International Magical Cooperation Department head was murdered.

And then it was the Voldemort resurrection spread by Harry and Dumbledore, most of which were anticlimactic.

Today, he completely sorted out the whole process and handed it to the two editors. ===== CHAPTER 267 =====
