Female reporter Rita didn't know how the interview ended. She just felt that if she said another word to Bai Lin, he would be so angry that her lungs would explode.
But when the show was over, she still managed to catch Harry, drag him to a corner of the castle, and let the photographer keep an eye on her. Harry really had no experience in dealing with strong women in their forties, so he was momentarily attracted to her. Bewildered.
"An eleven-year-old boy was destined to participate in this legendary game..." Rita didn't ask Harry at all, she just stared at him and said to herself, the magic feather next to her The pen automatically recorded it for her. Harry glanced at it and saw that the quill had even added prefixes such as "miserable in life" and "honor and death are equally famous" without authorization.
"I'm fourteen! And what's it writing?" Harry protested.
"Oh! Don't worry about that pen," Rita twisted Harry's body aside and said, "How much do you want to participate in this game? Is it for the heroism in your heart, or is it the desire of an eleven-year-old boy? Any tips on getting attention?"
"Fourteen! I didn't sign up! I don't want to compete!" Harry shouted.
But the feather pen was still writing furiously: "His tear-filled eyes were full of stubbornness and unyielding fate, seeming to tell the world that no matter what method he uses, he will become a star among wizards..."
Harry almost wanted to grab the quill and break it into two pieces. At this moment, he fully understood what Ron said: I have never seen a reporter who confuses right and wrong so much. Her articles are all made up...
But Rita was clearly prepared. She stood in front of the quill with her head held high. If Harry took another step forward, he might hit her chest. The photographer had already raised his camera and was waiting nearby. The pen has already written: This boy who lost his mother since childhood has a morbid attachment to middle-aged women, which makes him make shy moves towards the "beautiful" reporter... Harry will jump into the Yellow River if he moves again. Can't wash it off.
Harry didn't know how he got down from the tower. He felt confused and didn't know how ridiculous it was for these contents to be published in the Daily Prophet.
But a figure was waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs. Bai Lin stepped forward and patted his head and said: "Don't worry, what she just wrote will be published. I have a way to cure her, just wait and see!"
Harry's views were obviously refreshed, and he said angrily: "Professor, how could she do this!"
"Ah ha, where are you? Believe me, the things she made up are much more serious than this. Leave it to me, I will make her look good!" Bai Lin said with a smile.
In the original book, Rita Skeeter published a book called "In Part 7", in which she said that she was one of the few people who knew Harry, and even said that Harry and Dumbledore were Relationships are evil! She also "revealed" to the public that Potter fled from the scene after Dumbledore fell, which became a perfect excuse for the Death Eaters to capture Harry. This is no longer just nonsense, but a murderous and cruel slander that makes people want to strangle her to death.
Originally, such a little person Bai Lin had no time to talk to her, but today he took the initiative to come to her door. He was still furious when he saw her and decided to teach her a lesson.
In addition to taking photos and interviews before the game, Dumbledore refused reporters to stay in Hogwarts to avoid misinterpreting the event and maliciously guiding public opinion. Dumbledore knew very well and let the outside world know that they used the fire dragon as the first level. , and also "kidnapped" innocent relatives and friends of the warriors as sacrifices in the second level. If the news spread, why not be scolded by public opinion?
But Bai Lin knew, how could Rita hold back her gossipy heart?
Bai Lin was sure of victory. On the eve of the competition, he had a nice dinner, took a walk in the castle, and opened the Marauder's Map. Sure enough, he found Rita Skeeter's name in the castle.
"Ha, if you don't take the road to heaven, there is no door to hell and you break in!" He pulled out a small piece of paper and sent a message to Hermione.
His special operations team surrounded the target without Bai Lin taking action. Within half an hour, the children happily found Bai Lin.
In Bai Lin's lounge, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Eddie, Dean, and Neville were all here. Eddie was holding a glass jar in his arms, while Hermione's face was red and her hands were Clutching a handful of manuscripts and a broken green quill.
Bai Lin took the glass jar handed over by Eddie and saw a beetle with very big eyes flying around in terror, bumping left and right.
"Professor! This guy is so... evil!" Hermione could hardly find a more vicious word to curse the beetle. She showed the record on her hand to Bai Lin. Everyone gathered around and were dumbfounded. .
The manuscript describes in detail the love triangle between Miss Granger and Gollum, Harry, and Ron. Miss Granger is simply a master of time management, and she can handle the three boys with ease. She is called the best in Hogwarts. The female Aquaman even has detailed descriptions of physical contact, and the words are as explicit as the eighteenth taboo.
When Harry saw the detailed description of himself and Hermione in the manuscript, he almost wanted to dig a hole in it; but Ron seemed to be more concerned about why Gollum was included. He was not from Hogwarts. s student.
"What to do with it? Burn it?" Eddie asked. The children all thought that the beetle was Rita Skeeter's pet or spy, because no one had ever heard that Rita Skeeter was a Known as an illegal Animagus, she often turns into a beetle to spy on the target's privacy. It's strange to say that wizards who can turn into insects are still very rare, and the children don't think about it at all.
After hearing Eddie's suggestion, the beetles in the jar hit the glass wall desperately, but this jar was a jar with a blocking spell specially cast by Bai Lin. Just like when Peter Pettigrew was captured, it was impossible for the Animagus to be put inside. Unable to recover or speak, he could only bang and protest in panic.
"Leave it to me, I will find a companion for it. I think it would be good to give it as a snack for Xiu Xiu!" Bai Lin shook the jar and said with a smile.
Seemingly realizing that it was doomed, the beetle landed at the bottom of the jar. At this moment, its heart must have collapsed.
After throwing the manuscript and quill into the fireplace and burning them clean, Hermione and Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Lin patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Get ready for tomorrow's game!"
After seeing off the other students, Harry turned back to Bai Lin and said, "Professor... although I think you might not care... our first level is the fire dragon..."
Bai Lin suddenly remembered that by this time Hagrid should have taken Harry to see the fire dragon that had been transported. However, according to Bai Lin's experience, hiding the dragon in the woods like in the movie was a joke. He knew very well how much noise four or five fire dragons of different species could make together, and the whole forest might be burned down.
"There is a Hungarian Horntail Dragon, a Welsh Green Dragon, a Fireball Dragon, a Swedish Brachynosaurus... and the largest cage, guarded by four wizards, who froze the cage into an ice sculpture... I didn't see what was inside... "Harry said.
"Don't worry, I can handle it. The fire dragon is really not that difficult for me... You have to be careful too!" Bai Lin patted Harry on the shoulder: "You will find a way to deal with it."
After sending Harry away, Bai Lin looked at the frightened Ms. Beetle in the glass jar and gave an "evil" smile. What he hates most is people who add fuel to the fire, stir up trouble and even destroy others by slandering and spreading rumors. Original work In the novel, although Hermione hated her very much, she still let her go. However, after she was freed, she did not change her ways at all, but intensified her efforts. Instead of writing press releases, she directly published a book, describing Deng who sacrificed his life to resist Voldemort. Bledo and Snape slander and consume as much as they want, which makes people angry.
"Seal! Go and keep Peter company!" Bai Lin didn't bother to talk nonsense with her and sealed her directly.
"Haha!" Bai Lin said happily. Although he rewarded the team with 3,000 points last time, he distributed them to several team members, each with only a few hundred points. Hagrid exchanged them all for psychic magic resistance talismans. Wen, who was too afraid of being controlled by spiritual magic, Qiqi exchanged a pair of shoes and a divine edge rune, turning the scimitar into a magical weapon. Yuqian and Zhuobi each exchanged a A piece of equipment that increases magic power, three times five divided by two, this point is at the bottom. It would be good to pick up 100 more points. After all, fighting against Hastur cultists is quite dangerous.
There was no talking all night, and Bai Lin didn't see Catherine again in the past few days. Maybe it was a good thing not to see her.
Early the next morning, Hagrid woke him up and told him to go to a Colosseum built in the mountains about a mile away. It looked a bit historical. Bai Lin had not noticed that there was a Colosseum here before. architecture.
The Colosseum is much larger than shown in the movie, and a protective barrier is installed to prevent the fire dragon from accidentally hurting the audience.
The Colosseum seems to have been used many times in history. There are obvious signs of damage to the stands by wild animals. It is obvious that it cannot accommodate the teachers and students of the school. It is already full at this time. There are many students outside the venue waiting for the results, as if they have not bought a concert. Fans with tickets were standing outside the stadium singing, and the twins, hanging ticket boxes on their chests, were running in and out with Li Qiaodan, selling gambling tickets.
Bai Lin was very curious: You just engage in gambling in such an open and honest manner, and the teachers don't care about it?
Until he saw Professor Flitwick secretly buying him to win. Fred said with regret on his face: "Ah, Professor, you should buy what Professor Kailin loses. His odds of winning are only 1:0.1..."
Flitwick blew his beard and said, "It's pretty good to earn 10%. Do I look like such a fool?" It seemed that he was quite confident in Bai Lin.
Eddie walked up to Bai Lin and said, "Professor, I still have 5 galleons, it's no problem if I buy it for you!"
Bai Lin took out five Galleons and handed it to him: "Help me buy 5 Galleons and Harry will win. His odds are high!"
Eddie looked at Bai Lin's firm eyes and strode over to buy a ten-gallon Harry. However, George patted his shoulder maliciously. Eddie suddenly felt that he had been fooled, even though the odds of Harry were higher. 1:1.2, but Eddie felt he might lose everything.
As soon as Bai Lin stepped into the tent backstage, he saw Hermione hugging Harry with worry on her face. At first glance, Bai Lin must have thought that Hermione was interested in Harry, but as he knew the whole story, he knew At this time, Hermione was still caring like a good friend, and even had a subtle feeling that she regarded Harry as her younger brother.
If someone had not been dealt with, he would definitely have filmed the scene at this time, and then made up an exaggerated and ridiculous plot.
Bai Lin glanced at Krum. His expression remained the same, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Hermione hugging other boys. But Bai Lin knew that Krum already liked Hermione very much at this time, but he was a very A calm and mentally strong boy.
When Hermione saw Bai Lin coming in, she rushed over and gave him a hard punch: "You didn't even tell me about such a dangerous project! You know, Harry is not as strong as you, and he doesn't even learn as much as them... If something happens to him..."
Bai Lin scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "He is stronger than you think. I have great confidence in him. Besides, you shouldn't just worry about him~"
Hermione glared at him fiercely, but still stepped forward and gave him a hug, telling him to be careful. Fu Rong, who was looking at them from the side, had a rather amused look in her eyes.
After a while, the judges swarmed in. While introducing the rules for winning the golden egg in the Dragon's Nest in the first level, Dumbledore turned around and said, "Miss Granger, why are you here?" Hermione was so embarrassed that she could use her toes. He dug out a three-bedroom apartment on the ground and ran away.
Then the five people drew their opponents from the bag in Old Batty's hand:
Fleur dealt with the Welsh Green Dragon. This dragon was the most docile and it was really not difficult;
Krum dealt with the Fireball Dragon. Although this dragon had quite powerful firepower, it was only a small challenge for Krum, who was agile and proficient in black magic;
Then Cedric drew the Swedish Brachysaurus, which was quite average and not a very vicious fire dragon;
When Harry drew the Horntail Dragon, the audience obviously screamed in surprise, because the Hungarian Horntail Dragon is the most violent and ferocious species among these fire dragons. But Bai Lin didn't understand that since Barty Sr. wanted to "arrange" Harry to win, why would he arrange such a powerful opponent for him? If Harry hadn't gone through special training and accidentally got roasted into a suckling pig by the fire dragon, wouldn't your plan to resurrect Voldemort have collapsed halfway through?
However, looking at Old Barty's expression, he seemed to have a lot of confidence in Harry. Suddenly Bai Lin figured out something. Old Barty must have found out that Harry had taken care of the Hungarian Horntail Dragon at the Magic Zoo, so he made a special arrangement!
Bai Lin rolled his eyes, but he didn't expect that the causal relationship would be reversed.
"The last one is your opponent, Kelly White." Old Barty took out another cloth bag, opened the bag, and suddenly a black shadow rushed out of the bag, flying manically in the air and screaming.
Bai Lin took a look, "Good guy, are you the Ringwraith from Lord of the Rings next door who went to the wrong set?" This is obviously a black dragon, with two heads!
