Chapter 252: On the Razor's Edge

~6 min read 1,144 words

"My friend is very angry with you and asked me to teach you a lesson. I didn't expect so many unexpected discoveries." The leopard-headed man said in a indifferent tone.

"Who is your friend?" Rita Skeeter asked.

"You don't need to know who my friend is. I also dislike your reporting; I don't like seeing the things your readers like to see." The leopard-headed man said domineeringly.

"So, regarding the purpose of my visit..."

"I apologize! I will stop all false statements about your friend!" she said quickly, wearing a flattering smile on her face.

"False statements about everyone!" the leopard-headed man emphasized, putting the notebook into his robe. "Otherwise, the contents of this notebook will appear everywhere."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely be able to do this." Rita Skeeter did not dare to hesitate for a moment.

"Thank you, Rita."

The leopard-headed man stood up, smiled (although the leopard's smile was very eerie), bowed politely, and then a flash of lightning passed, and he disappeared from the room.

After a while, Rita Skeeter slowly got up from the ground. She observed carefully for a long time; indeed, no one was in the room. She quietly opened the window and the door, glanced left and right, and saw nothing outside the door or the window. She quickly closed the doors and windows.

A string of vicious curses sprayed from her mouth; he was cursing the person just now with the most terrible words he knew in his life.

"I will take revenge! Revenge—but who is he?"

As soon as the words fell, a flash of bright lightning jumped onto her body again. Her eyes became terrified, and she turned into a human electric bubble once more...

"This is a lesson!" A voice sounded very abruptly in Rita Skeeter's ear.

Her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but this time, she quickly closed her mouth.

Above Hogwarts Castle.

The wild wind in the sky was constantly battering the body of an eagle, but the eagle moved skillfully through the wind, and the wild wind did not affect its speed at all.

He soon found that familiar window, dove straight into it, turned into a butterfly, quietly flew to his bed, and then restored his human form.

For this disciplinary action, he had specified that his innate transformation included parts of two Pokémon, but these two parts were well hidden. Actually, even if they were discovered, he had a way to talk his way out of it.

However, today's harvest was still unexpected. He didn't expect there to be so many Animagi; in this one month, he had encountered two illegal Animagi. But today's biggest harvest was Rita Skeeter's notebook. As long as he held this leverage in his hand, he was not afraid of Rita Skeeter causing any waves.

This matter was handled very perfectly.

At this moment, the window was blown by the strong wind outside. Allen reached out from the curtains, waved his wand lightly, and the window closed with a "Bang," keeping the wild wind and darkness outside...

The next day, Rita Skeeter came to Hogwarts again for an exclusive interview with Allen. She had lost the spirited look she had yesterday.

Allen accepted her exclusive interview. He knew he could not stop the Ministry of Magic's propaganda about his actions, so he still cooperated with Rita Skeeter's interview. At least, after last night's incident, she should not write any too outrageous reports.

Rita Skeeter looked very listless, but she still completed the interview. This time, Allen did not see her Quick-Quotes Quill playing any tricks.

Allen became famous, or rather, became even more famous.

One day later, the front-page headline of the Daily Prophet reported Minister Fudge's inspection of Hogwarts. The report mentioned Muggle orphan Allen Finis, whom Minister Fudge has been focusing on supporting in recent years, and introduced Allen Finis's achievements in recent years: improving five spells, assisting Professor Flitwick in rediscovering the long-lost Chao Gan Zhou,

publishing more than ten papers, and ranking at the top of his class every academic year. The report highly praised the Ministry of Magic's support work for Hogwarts students and also announced new measures by the Ministry of Magic in education.

Facing this report, Allen was very calm. He had long figured out why Fudge came to inspect Hogwarts and specifically wanted to see him. Recently, the matter of Sirius Black had put too much pressure on him, so he had to create some news to divert public attention. In this matter, Allen was completely a tool.

But while Allen was calm, the other Hogwarts students could not remain calm. They knew Allen was excellent, but they never expected that Allen was secretly publishing papers, and so many of them.

"I owe the Ministry of Magic a lot of money. Improving spells can give me rewards, so I invested a lot of energy in this aspect. I didn't expect to actually achieve some results." Allen said very humbly.

A group of young wizards was gathering around him.

Hogwarts sparked a trend of improving spells. Hermione also took time to join in, but later they all failed. How could spells be improved so easily!

"Seeing that my learning ability is quite strong, but my creativity is still not enough." Hermione gave up on improving spells with some regret; she wanted to improve a Transfiguration spell.

And Allen took the opportunity to propose teaching her memory magic, but to his surprise, Hermione actually refused.

"I have too many classes this semester, and memory magic won't be on the exam, so let's wait until next year. Next year I definitely won't choose so many classes." That was what Hermione said when she refused.

This directly made Allen lose the desire to persuade Hermione.

However, the Ministry of Magic's strategy was successful. Public attention was indeed attracted by Allen's deeds. Some people marveled at Allen's current achievements, while others doubted the authenticity of Allen's achievements.

Rita Skeeter's exclusive interview article with Allen was also published on the front-page headline of the Daily Prophet in the following days. It seemed the Ministry of Magic was preparing a series of propaganda to divert public attention.

Although this interview was still somewhat exaggerated in some places, it was generally quite truthful. Allen was quite satisfied with Rita Skeeter's change.

As long as the newspaper did not publish reports about him and Harry being in a relationship or him climbing into the ranks of pure-blood families, he could actually accept it.

However, the propaganda reports about Allen sparked a new round of debate. Now, the two people talked about the most by everyone were a scum from a pure-blood family and a genius from a Muggle orphan background.

People started debating the bloodline theory again...
