"The Death Eaters reappear! The Dark Mark hanging high above your head, the snake of sin hiding in the shadows!"
"The Dark Mark! Is the mysterious man coming back..."
"Quickly calm down! Minister Fudge leads members of the Ministry of Magic to fight against the Death Eaters!"
"Heavy losses! Should Cornelius Fudge be responsible for the large number of casualties?"
"Four Death Eaters were arrested. What are their true identities?"
…
A middle-aged wizard with a long face was sitting in the cafe, leaning on the chair, crossing his legs and reading the newspaper in his hand.
His expression was calm, and there was no hint of joy or anger at first glance. And if you look carefully at his eyes, you can see a little bit of satisfaction in them.
Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged wizard with a stern face, wearing a gray robe, with hair like a mess of grass, and took a sip of coffee.
"It seems that your free chess move was pretty good?"
His voice was somewhat hard. It's clearly a question, but it feels like a statement. And this tone is indeed more like a question than a question.
The long-faced man who was asked this question seemed to have been tickled, and finally couldn't help but smile. He flicked the edge of the newspaper in his hand and smiled as reservedly as possible: "Pretty good. I didn't expect that a person is so weak that he doesn't even have a mature body. He can only use a few who are so weak that they can only kill Voldemort, who lost some weak Muggles, can still have such great influence and cause such a big trouble."
The man in gray robe opposite seemed to have guessed his reaction. So he just nodded and didn't care too much about his friend's pride.
"It won't stop here, right? This isn't your style."
What happened here is just to attract other people's attention. This achieved their purpose to a certain extent. But it doesn't fully meet their needs. Logically speaking, it is naturally blameless to stop here. Naturally, there was an explanation from the Fire Dragon side. But according to his understanding of horses... the current situation is probably just the beginning.
"Of course, it's up to the reporters I contacted to make an effort."
Ma chuckled lightly, and what happened next, regardless of whether it was useful or not, would definitely make Luke Gunter feel sick after having achieved the main goal. Just a fake saint. Everyone is not a good person, so why bother pretending to be like this? What's wrong with being calm?
"By the way, why did you come to me suddenly today?"
Ma asked abruptly to the man in front of him.
The man opposite had no change in his expression or any deformation in his movements. When he heard this question, he said decisively: "I'm here to ask for your help."
Although the other party's tone did not change much. But at this moment, Ma still put away the pride on his face and felt a little troubled.
The person in front of me is considered a very powerful person in that small but powerful organization. After clarifying the identity of the other party, Ma finally understood how terrifying the man wearing the grizzly bear mask in front of him was.
"Say. As long as I can help. I won't refuse."
This is actually nonsense. The Grizzlies came to him, determined that he could help. If you want to refuse, and the reasons for refusal are not satisfactory to the Grizzlies. Then the horse won't get into any trouble though. But after finally establishing a good relationship with the grizzly bear, he will naturally suffer some damage.
The essence of Ma joining this small organization is to strengthen his influence on the world. When one person cannot do it, a group of people can do it through borrowing strength. When he first joined, he wasn't really a big shot. It’s just that it’s a little famous and its ideas fit well with this group of people. More importantly, he knew very well that he had the appetite for the rabbit guy, so he gave himself such a chance.
He also seized the opportunity and became a formal member of the organization, and soon relied on the power of the organization to strengthen himself. Although he is still a bit vain, on the surface, he is already worthy of being a formal member of this organization.
"Give that bastard in France some pressure."
Grizzly Bear said without hesitation: "The troubles caused by the students over there have made us very passive. The guy from the Ministry of Magic is very tough. We need to put some pressure on him."
Ma looked at the grizzly bear's serious expression and was quiet for a long time before speaking: "I can understand what you mean. Do you want me to put some pressure on you from public opinion? For example, let those supporters understand that their interests are Being damaged. So they have to oppose it. If the people in the Ministry of Magic don't oppose what they want to oppose, they will oppose the Ministry of Magic, right?"
The horse says a lot. But when put together, it is actually still a matter of inciting the people. To be honest, he did this kind of thing very smoothly.
Therefore, after a simple thought transformation, Ma, who was a little shocked and confused at first, returned to normal.
Grizzly nodded: "This is what we want. If they are not in that position, they can't do anything. We, or I, don't want to completely break up with him. So, we have to let him understand things. Severity.”
"I didn't mix enough sand among the students. And the other party seems to have a mature organizer. It gives me a little headache."
The grizzly bear's expression did not change, he just frowned. Ma raised her eyebrows subconsciously when she saw this expression. In his impression, the person in front of him had never shown such an expression before. It can be said that the situation the Grizzlies are facing now is already very serious.
"It seems that they did cause you a lot of trouble. Then there are actually very few things I can do."
Ma frankly explained his shortcomings: "Public opinion is a terrible thing. But public opinion is not a omnipotent thing. It can make gold and destroy bones. But what it cannot change is the absolute fact. Although it can bury it . But you and I know the truth very well."
There was even a bit of sanctity on his face when he said this.
The Grizzly Bear didn't care about the limitations of Ma's words, let alone whether Ma had any faith in this matter. He just nodded and said, "Just do what you can. I'm also looking for other solutions."
"Luke Gunter is a very powerful person. Don't underestimate him."
The grizzly bear said seriously to the horse: "If you underestimate Luke Gunter, you will probably be dealt with badly by him."
"How to say?"
Hearing this, Ma took a sip of the coffee in his cup and humbly asked for advice.
He made a fortune quickly and his momentum was strong. And it is still easy to label yourself the so-called 'uncrowned king' of the field. This feeling of being able to influence the direction of public opinion with just one sentence does give people the illusion that they are omnipotent.
But Ma is a very pragmatic person. He caused trouble for Luke Gaunt in order to curry favor with the Fire Dragon. Although he doesn't know the true identity of the fire dragon. But he knew that the fire dragon had never asked anyone for help. Everyone turned to him for help. Fire Dragon gave everyone such a task this time. Everyone did what they could within the scope of their expertise.
Because he knew that if he got this done, he would be able to gain a lot of face in front of the fire dragon. If others don't usually use the fire dragon's help. The horse really needs it.
"Luke Gunter caused us a lot of trouble back then. He had almost nothing at the time. Moreover, I suspect that there is also the shadow of Luke Gunter behind the students' actions. In other words... now The person who came into contact with the guy from the Ministry of Magic is most likely Luke Gaunt, or one of his men."
As soon as these words came out, Ma's face instantly turned ugly. This sentence is essentially true. Luke Gunter is the one giving the Grizzlies a headache.
Unlike his own sneak attack, in a head-to-head encounter, the Grizzly Bear seemed to be at a disadvantage.
After thinking for a moment, Ma nodded and said, "I understand. I will reconsider the intensity of my actions."
When the Grizzly Bear saw him like this, he knew that he must be greedy. Although I knew the consequences could be serious, I still couldn't help but want to test it out.
But the grizzly bear wouldn't say much. Good words can't persuade a damn ghost. People who die because of greed don't need sympathy.
"Okay, that's it. Start as soon as possible, please."
After saying that, the grizzly bear stood up and disappeared into the crowd before walking far.
After the other party left, Ma's expression changed again and again, and finally he nodded silently. After drinking all the coffee in the cup, he disappeared into the crowd.

"It has nothing to do with us. Now don't bother me with such nonsense."
Orson looked at his men angrily.
The men were startled by his expression and were a little at a loss for a moment.
"I don't care what Voldemort and his men are like now, do you understand?! Sending everyone out is not to collect such insignificant information. Find information about the Three Deathly Hallows. Go to Austria and get Numenga Thoroughly understand Germany’s surrounding situation.”
"Our current mission is to rescue Lord Grindelwald and use the Three Deathly Hallows as a gift for his new life. Instead of focusing on a half-dead mad dog."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
The men quickly bowed and apologized to Orson. Then he left the room with a rather flustered look.
After he left, a vague human figure appeared in the shadows: "You don't have to be so anxious. This news is not worthless to us. At least we know that our plan has a higher success rate."
"I don't care about these accidents." Orson's expression was solemn. He looked at the defense map of Nurmengard spread on the table with a serious look on his face. "I have no intention of relying on any so-called accidents. We can succeed. It never relies on accidents. No matter whether there is turmoil caused by Death Eaters or not, this operation must be foolproof."
"I finally convinced Lord Grindelwald to let him come out and see the world that has become chaotic. Let him see this ugly world that is about to take a path that is completely contrary to our ideals."
"I will never allow failure!"
………………
"What is this?"
Hermione dropped the newspaper in her hand on the table angrily.
In this empty classroom, everyone who knew Luke well and could be considered one of his own was there. There was no course schedule in this empty classroom. Logically speaking, such a classroom should not be open to students. But let’s not say it’s in the wizarding world. Even Muggle middle school students have many ways to enter an empty classroom without anyone in charge.
So after Luke applied, Snape said, "I want a separate classroom for you to use. Is this school run by your family?" 'In this case, he submitted Luke's application to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore decisively agreed to Luke's request. And wrote in the reply: "After all, you are the school director and a direct descendant of Slytherin. This school cannot be regarded as your property. But if you want the right to use one of the classrooms, you should have it." s right."
Well, this reply made Snape's face not so pretty.
Well, in a sense, this is indeed Luke's home school. Even if it's only a quarter.
In this way, Luke and the others had a separate classroom that could be modified at will. Many students are proud to be invited into this classroom. Unfortunately, even at the beginning of the new semester, there are only a few freshmen invited into this classroom. And there are no new students who can enter and exit at will.
In this classroom that was almost mythical among the students, Luke's friends fell into a state of low pressure.
Hermione's annoyance and anger were completely understandable.
Taylor looked at the newspaper on the table.
There are two photos connected together in the center of the page. One is the back of a group of people wearing black robes with the Dark Mark on them. There is another picture... of Luke wearing a black wizard robe with a cold expression.
To be honest, this photo made Luke feel quite oppressive. Judging from the background, it should have been taken during the Quidditch World Cup. Luke himself didn't know when he had ever had such a serious expression. Regardless of the content of the newspaper, Luke was very satisfied with this photo alone.
And the content of the newspaper...
"It's just a very old-fashioned rumor." Taylor said in a deep voice, "It connects the image of Luke and the mysterious man based on blood and some insignificant things. Even his academic performance is very good and he has a leadership temperament. I said it all. I don’t even know whether the other party was complimenting or derogating.”
Everyone present still did not speak. They all knew that such rumors were far-fetched and could not withstand scrutiny. You only need to use your brain a little to see that something is wrong.
It's a pity... When most people face such information, they always think about receiving it, rather than filtering it, let alone distinguishing it.
Even if it's just an impression that can make waves in their hearts, that's enough.
"It's a disgusting method. It is estimated that more newspapers will come out to talk about this matter in the next few days."
Malfoy touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Should we simply put pressure on these newspapers?"
"A very direct solution, a bit crude, but the effect should be pretty good."
George nodded and said: "The more important thing is to be able to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Those who accept our pressure are not our enemies. And those who continue to spread the news after that..."
"Knock it off." Fred's tone was a little cold, "Such things cannot become a trend. Otherwise, once the impression is formed, it will be a very bad thing for Luke."
While everyone was discussing, Luke looked at the newspaper on the table and couldn't help but smile.
"Finally, give me a chance?"
