Chapter 233 Malfoy's pretend time has begun!
When Dumbledore, Kakarov, Maxim, McGonag, Snape, Hager and others rushed to Hogsmeade village after hearing the news, Hogsmeade village was covered with snow and was in a mess everywhere. They easily found Leeds in the center of the village, which was commanding the contestants to build something: "Professor Leeds, what's going on!"
"Well? Why are you here?" Leedsch said. The residents of Hogsmeade Village had already said hello. It was definitely not them who went to inform the news. If there were super good babies among the contestants, the professors would have come here long ago... Maybe someone was watching the situation here remotely through magic?
"Professor Leeds! We need the answer!" McGonagall shouted again.
"Okay, okay," Leeds replied slowly, "I just finished the snowball fight, and now I'm preparing for the bonfire party tonight, that's it."
"Snowball fight... did you ask the contestants to throw snowballs at each other?! Or a 60-person melee!" Hager exclaimed.
"Yes~ Now the European wizarding world is in harmony, and there is no sign of war between countries at all. In this situation, I think the concept of "friendship first, competition second" must be correctly conveyed. So I use fairy tactics to create snowfall, so that students from the three major academies can form teams to play snowball fights, and enhance their feelings... Hehe, I will take the lead in the beginning~" Leeds reached out to stop Professor McGonagall, who wanted to say, "If you want to question my approach, please remember that I have the authorization of the Ministry of Magic to decide on the affairs of the Triumph Championship, and then look back at the current situation of the students."
Since Leeds said that, the professors could only focus on the students around them.
"I said I should have occupied the 'Zoko's Magic Joke Shop' and threw the prank materials over. George and Fred took the lead and suffered so much."
"Because of being the strongest ball seeker in the world, Kurum is invincible in throwing snowballs in the air... But why is the Hogwarts player behind his magic broom?"
"It's too much. The twins don't even let go of the first-grade girls... Sister, I must avenge you Gabriel during the game!"
"Harry Potter, don't mind your companions who are dating the stars. Come and help set up the stage~"
Although the students were dressed in messy clothes and some people still had red marks from snowballs on their faces, everyone was filled with joy. If this was nothing, then look at the person they were chatting with? The boys at Hogwarts were complaining about tactical mistakes with the boys at Demstrong. The boys at Demstrong were hooking up with Boothbarton's girls, and Boothbarton's girls were directing the boys at Hogwarts to take action. The previously embarrassing sense of distance has disappeared.
Hager scratched his head and said strangely: "Aller? After the snowball fight, shouldn't we be hostile to each other, just like Gryffindor and Slytherin-oh, I didn't say anything!" Although it is well known, it is a scandal after all and should not be said by faculty.
"If you don't mix it, maybe that's the case~" Actually, it may not be necessary. It depends on your personality, but mix it will definitely work better. "Anyway, this is called 'no matter how you don't fight, you won't get to know each other', and the result is not bad."
Without the need for the professors to speak, Leeds continued: "As for the impact of the snowball fight on Hogsmeade Village, I have already said hello before-"
"——Professor Leeds is welcome to lead a team to Hogsmeade Village at any time. Our store will introduce a batch of more interesting new products. Please stay tuned." As soon as a store manager heard a wink, he immediately gave an answer with great sensibility.
"…………” The professors' group was silent.
In an instant, they realized that this was Jin Jialong's power, a hateful rich man!
"So there is nothing to worry about, I know very well," Leeds stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction of Hogwarts. "Now, please let the adults who ruin the atmosphere return to Hogwarts for the time being. Don't harass young people a happy day, and the evening activities will be very exciting."
———————————————————————————————
The bonfire party is still an old routine, and there is nothing to mention in detail. Like the snowball fight during the day, it only allows 60 contestants from three academies to get to know each other and make the relationship better.
Of course, it is difficult to make them friends like this after only one day, but they can call each other and say hello when they meet in the castle, and click on the court, which has reached the standard in Leeds' mind... As for the private throwing letters like Victor Kurum and Hermione Granger; or like Fred and Fresh, because Fred gave Fresh tons of output during snowball fights, they will fight each time they meet; or the small props like George and Gabrie, who happily played pranks next to each other while their brothers and sisters are all examples and cannot represent the situation of most contestants.
Time passes, and the first game is coming.
Given that this cup competition was a grand event created by the Ministry of Magic, even though it has been occupied by Leeds, the Ministry of Magic has arranged for the largest newspaper in China, the Prophet Daily, to come for an interview.
"What a huge lineup of contestants! But with such a huge bonus as support, the number of participants is actually not too large, right? Haha~" The interviewer was a middle-aged woman with hair carefully combed into stiff curls, a weird big chin, a pair of jewelry-inlaid glasses, two-inch long nails painted in dark red, and a crocodile leather bag. She looked like a strong woman who was difficult to deal with at first glance.
"Hello, I'm Rita Skit, I'm serving the Prophet Daily, but you all know this, right?" Rita has always positioned herself as a British celebrity in her heart.
"..." Malfoy really knew Rita, and knew that she was a reporter who specialized in hype and spread rumors, so he couldn't help but shake his head at his girlfriend Astoria.
"But now, the person you want to know is not me, but you." Rita walked to Busbaton's team and reached out to touch Furong's pretty face standing in front of him. "How many people have these pink and tender faces fascinated?"
Furong's smile suddenly became stiff.
Rita walked to Demstrong's team again and circled Kurum's chest with her long bright red nails, "How many secrets did this muscle cover up."
Kurum glared at her angrily.
Rita finally came to Hogwarts' team, rubbed Cedric's head with her left hand and touched the lightning scar on Harry Potter's forehead with her right hand. "How much courage does this little head under her curly hair have? What kind of power is hidden under this scar."
Cedric remained silent, just like Hufflepuff's purpose, but Harry Potter was a little angry and was just pulled by Hermione next to him.
"Anyway, how can I become a warrior?" Rita, who made all the contestants unhappy, finally walked back to her original position. "My column wants to know, and crazy readers want to know even more."
"So, who wants to talk first?" Rita took out the notebook and quill pen from the crocodile leather bag, put it next to it, the notebook automatically opened, and the quill pen was ready to write, "Don't you mind if I use a shorthand pen, do you? There are a lot of people, and I need to talk to you normally and freely to speed up the interview efficiency."
"…………” Everyone was silent.
Rather than saying that no one wants to be the first interviewee, no one wants to be interviewed by this annoying reporter.
"Let's go first." Malfoy broke the cold, and he walked out from the end of Hogwarts' team.
"Oh! The handsome guy dressed in strange shape has been at the end of the team, and I haven't seen you!" Rita directed the photographer of the newspaper to give Malfoy a photo dressed in the hunter, "Name?"
"I am Draco Malfoy, my father's name is Lucius Malfoy. Don't tell me you have never heard of this name." Malfoy said arrogantly.
"So it's the young master of the Malfoy family?" Rita immediately smiled brightly, "I'm asking you this-"
"—I'm a fourth-grade student in Hogwarts," Malfoy said completely ignoring Rita, "but I'm already the holder of the First-level Merlin Medal."
"What?!" Rita, who was still unhappy because her words were interrupted, was stunned when she heard this.
"I have been taken to Yanan by Professor Leeds to hunt monsters two years ago, and the merits were accumulated there." Malfoy opened the pocket on the left chest of the hunter's coat and exposed the medal. "But because of Yanan's special nature, the award of this medal cannot be made public, so please keep it confidential."
"I understand what to do." Be decisively made public. This is big news, and you should try your best to investigate this aspect!
"In addition, since there are very few people who can solve the monsters in the Yanan area, I have also been officially recognized by the United Kingdom and even some European countries, and have various privileges," Malfoy suppressed the hunter's triangular hat and stared at Rita with sharp eyes. "For example, I can let the British Ministry of Magic put pressure on a newspaper to make someone unemployed and freeze his assets..."
"!" Everyone knows that Rita refers to.
"Another putting pressure on the European Magic Headquarters makes someone unable to find another job in Europe, and they can't even find a place to live."
“…………”
"In the end, I have the highest authority to deal with the black wizard," Malfoy pulled the cane deformation button, then used his magic power to control the steel whip to roll forward like a venomous snake, and floated upwards on Rita. "If someone 'find the black magic prop' at home, I can kill him on the spot without trial."
"Ah..." Rita couldn't help but tremble as she looked at the sharp steel whip that had already circled around her neck.
Malfoy suddenly smiled, took back the steel whip, and turned it into a cane, "Of course, under normal circumstances, I will not use this privilege."
Rita responded with a stiff smile: "Well, of course, how could an outstanding talent like Master Malfoy use his power for personal gain?"
"Yes, it's great that you can understand." Malfoy looked coldly at the shorthand pen and small notebook that had been busy beside him. "I was always afraid that others would misunderstand me, so I hid these things... Only the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic know."
"!" Rita made a quick move, tearing off the latest pages that had been copied, tore them into pieces and throwing them on the ground, and then showed a big smile.
"As a side note, my girlfriend's name is Astoria Greengrass. If it were her turn earlier, we would have time to go out of the castle." Malfoy did not ask if the interview was over, and turned around and walked backwards.
Chapter completed!
