Rita Skeeter frantically begged for mercy. She hoped that the man in front of her could give her a way to survive.
Judging from the wandless spell casting and making herself visible just now, Rita can confirm that she will not be this person's opponent.
Even though there were so many arrogant words in the article, Rita was more timid than anyone else when she was caught.
"Rita Skeeter, you're a smart person."
John looked at Rita condescendingly. He opened the drawer, and the golden galleons inside made Rita mistakenly think that John was trying to bribe her.
"Help me do something."
The expression behind the silver mask was unclear, but Rita knew that if she dared to refuse, it would be more painful than going to Azkaban.
Soon, the "Daily Prophet" added a lucky wizard grand prize, which was kindly sponsored by Johnny Silverhand Store.
To this end, reporter Rita Skeeter trumpeted the results of her interview in newspapers.
Mr. Johnny Silverhand is an affable man who established the Little Wizards Foundation to provide free help to cursed little wizards.
Such a generous act was greatly appreciated by many celebrities in the wizarding world.
In addition, the bonus is what makes the Johnny Silverhand store popular. This thing is like a chocolate frog. Every time you buy the Daily Prophet, you will have a chance to draw a lottery.
Sales of the Daily Prophet instantly increased a lot.
There are three types of lucky wizard awards, the first Galleon Award, the second Siko Award, and the third Nat Award.
On the day of the sale, a wizard received the Sickle Prize, and seven hundred Sickles was also a considerable sum.
The Lucky Wizard Jackpot is in full swing.
An owl is flying to the Burrow with a newspaper.
morning.
Arthur Weasley picked up the newspaper he subscribed to and looked at the Lucky Wizard Grand Prize scratch-off attached to it. He scratched it off and looked at it casually.
"Clang."
The cup fell to the table, and the milk inside splashed all over him.
Molly ran out after hearing the sound. Just when she was about to get angry, she saw Arthur Weasley turning his head blankly and said, "I'm hit."
"What?"
Before she could figure out what her husband was up to, Molly was startled by Arthur's laughter.
Ron got up and grabbed Scabbers. Scabbers was so frightened by the laughter that he broke away and ran back to bed.
George: "Is Dad crazy?"
Fred: "Maybe he drank too much euphoria."
The Weasley twins looked at each other as if asking when the other had pulled the prank.
Percy has been busy running for student union president this year, and his study tasks are also very heavy.
When all the children had arrived, Mr. Weasley excitedly announced the good things that had happened to him.
"Seven hundred galleons, Merlin's beard."
Molly covered her mouth, when had the Weasley family ever had so much money.
She was so excited that she wanted to hug Mr. Weasley and kiss him, but the children were all there.
"I'm going to use this money to travel, what do you think of Egypt?"
After winning the lottery, Arthur Weasley wanted to travel. It must be said that his family did not have the habit of saving money.
The whole family agreed with this decision, and even Percy, who had not stopped studying after the holidays, was somewhat moved.
Arthur Weasley just didn't want his third son to be too tired, so he proposed to travel.
As the most sensible child, peace of mind does not mean that it does not make people feel distressed.
With the whole family's approval, they started planning the trip.
As the person who personally handed out the grand prize, Rita Skeeter didn't understand why such a generous reward was given to the Weasley family.
The bonus was printed on just one sheet, and all it needed was the Weasley family's address.
But Rita didn't dare to ask, she was being manipulated now.
In order to prevent herself from spending the rest of her life in Azkaban, she could only listen to Johnny Silverhand.
...
Arthur Weasley, who won the grand prize, temporarily put aside the matter of killing the Malfoy family. The most important thing is to travel together as a family.
While this gave the Malfoy family some respite, Lucius personally visited Lord Johnny Silverhand.
When he saw the eyes under the silver mask, he couldn't help but be curious about who he was.
"Lucius Malfoy, I'm so glad you are here."
When John saw his classmate's father, who still looked mysterious, he added meaningfully: "Even if you are a Death Eater."
Lucius's pupils shrank, the arrogance on his face instantly disappeared, and his heart was shaken. He looked at John like a pawn deliberately fished by the Ministry of Magic.
An unnatural smile appeared on his pale face, and he pretended not to understand: "I was once controlled by a mysterious person using the Imperius Curse, but that doesn't mean that I am..."
"Lucius, you don't have to be afraid."
John walked towards Lucius and interrupted. His steps were neither light nor heavy, making a sound when they came into contact with the ground.
Lucius's body tensed up, sweat appeared on his forehead, and his whole body was extremely nervous.
Coming to Lucius, John grabbed his left hand. At this moment, Lucius had raised his wand, and he saw those mysterious eyes.
"I don't mind. On the contrary, I appreciate you."
A meaningful laugh came from under the mask, and Lucius felt that all his secrets were hidden.
John glanced at the clenched wand and chuckled: "Relax, I won't tell anyone. On the contrary, the reason why I can provide you with everything is not the Death Eaters or the Ministry of Magic, but because of Malfoy." .”
Lucius clenched and unclenched the wand in his hand. After going back and forth three times, he finally couldn't hold it any longer and asked with some fear: "What do you want?"
John replied without hesitation: "Friends."
Those two simple words made Lucius feel unreal.
The Voldemort he followed never said these two words.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, John handed today's "Daily Prophet" to Lucius.
"Arthur Weasley will not trouble you any time soon, and that is my sincerity."
The newspaper said that the Galleons had been revealed, and it had Arthur Weasley's name on it.
Lucius' heart was relieved. He stared into John's eyes and asked, "You want me to be your friend, right?"
"Lucius, as Malfoy, you should understand the importance of friends better. This is the second connection besides blood. We will help each other. Just like I helped you today, you will help me tomorrow."
John passed his hand over a candle and the flame went out, then when he turned around the candle lit again.
Reaching out to Lucius, John smiled and said, "Isn't it?"
Lucius hesitated for a moment, then held the somewhat young hand and said in a deep voice: "You are right, Mr. Johnny Silverhand, Malfoy is willing to be your friend."
The connection between pure-blood families lies in marriage, which makes every pure-blood family have some relatives.
These blood relationships are like a big tree growing upward, and each blood relationship is a branch.
It's just that these branches are already withered. The twenty-eight saints are dead and disabled. They are no longer so powerful.
The new king of Knockturn Alley is willing to release friendship, and Lucius also knows that this is a tactic to win over, but he has no choice.
The position of Hogwarts School Director is too important. This is the best way to protect Lucius, who was once a Death Eater.
If he cannot return to that position, he will be a thorn in the side of the Ministry of Magic, and the Auror will do whatever it takes to add another touch to his resume and career.
Lucius agreed, and then asked with some doubts: "How are you going to deal with the black magic items?"
John smiled mysteriously and said softly: "Do you know where else besides the Ministry of Magic you can legally possess black magic props?"
Seeing Lucius' confused look, John raised his hand and brushed it in front of him.
A line of small green characters appeared in front of Lucius.
"Be wary of the Museum of Dark Arts?"
Lucius didn't know why, but John told him that with this thing, no matter how dangerous you put it, the Ministry of Magic wouldn't trouble you.
This is like, someone without a certificate is called tomb robbing, and someone with a certificate is called archeology.
John has applied to the Ministry of Magic for this alert to the Museum of Dark Arts.
His reasons are very good. People need to know the dangers of black magic props. You can't expect everyone to know what black magic props look like.
Then it is very necessary for this museum to appear.
What?
Danger?
Wrong, how can people understand the dangers if it is not dangerous?
As for what will be displayed, it is not all under my control.
In this case, if one or two items are missing, no one will say anything.
You can lie and claim it was stolen, or you can say the prop was destroyed.
This is a good thing, and adds to the legacy of Fudge, the current Minister of Magic.
Naturally, the Ministry of Magic refused to agree, and newspapers would also report this matter. They called Lord Johnny Silverhand a kind and great wizard.
In this way, Lord Johnny Silverhand took the lead in establishing it, and the first museum in the wizarding world was officially planned.
