John's content included why Little Barty, who had long since died, was still alive.

How Barty Crouch Sr. hid his son Barty Jr., and how Barty Jr. turned the tables and killed him.

And how Barty Jr. impersonated his father to attend the entire Triwizard Tournament.

Why was Harry's name placed in the Goblet of Fire?

Even the fact that Barty disguised himself as Krum to participate in the third competition was eventually revealed.

Even Rita, who was used to seeing all kinds of sensational news, couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Yes, radiant.

Such sensational news doesn't happen every year.

She excitedly memorized every word John said.

John didn't stop her, letting her do as she pleased. After all, she knew how to grab attention in the field of journalism.

In contrast, Mr. Lovegood's performance was... well... somewhat like sleepwalking, but he remembered it very elegantly, and his hands never stopped moving.

And that's exactly the effect John wanted.

When two media outlets with completely different writing styles simultaneously publish the same event and tell the story from different perspectives, it increases credibility and reach.

After John finally finished speaking, he let out a long sigh of relief, winked at Harry, and signaled that it was his turn.

Harry cleared his throat, and only when he saw that both reporters' eyes were on him did he begin to recount his experience.

He began his story by recounting his experience in the third competition.

This includes how he followed John and Krum all the way to the center of the maze.

And how did the key end up in a cemetery?

They also found Peter Pettigrew, who should have died, in the cemetery, as well as Voldemort's remains, which were the size of an infant.

Then he was controlled by Little Star and tied to a tombstone.

Pettigrew took his blood, a bone from the graveyard, and one of Pettigrew's own hands, and poured them into a boiling cauldron.

Then they threw Voldemort's remains into the cauldron, and soon Voldemort was fully resurrected, standing up from the cauldron.

He was then subjected to the Cruciatus Curse by Voldemort and was taken down and forced to duel him.

During this time, Voldemort also gathered a group of former Death Eaters, including Lucius Malfoy, as well as Goyle and the head of the Crabbe family.

He activated the Flashback Charm during a forced duel with Voldemort.

During the flashback spell, he saw the souls of people who had been killed by Voldemort in the most recent incidents.

With the help of those souls, he was able to break free of his restraints, grab the door key, and escape back.

As Harry recounted the story, his fingers kept unconsciously clenching together.

Especially when it comes to the Flashback Spell.

Harry didn't say who the spirit that appeared in the Flashback Curse was.

However, according to the information available, Voldemort was killed by a curse on Harry after killing Harry's parents more than a decade ago.

Now that he has just been resurrected, the last time he killed someone must have been Harry's parents.

Harry's story ends here.

John then recounted how, after Harry returned, he caught Barty the Younger and learned the whole truth from him.

Including why Little Star is alive and where Krum was found.

Having finished speaking, Mr. Lovegood and Rita each wrapped up their own things.

During the meeting, they also inquired about some details to complete the information.

Rita was extremely excited to have recorded such explosive news. After finishing, she couldn't wait to go back and polish the content into a front-page feature that would set the entire magical world ablaze.

However, before leaving, John insisted that he wait for Mr. Lovegood's dissenting opinion to be released together.

Rita immediately deflated, but she couldn't refuse.

Mr. Lovegood stayed behind and leisurely sipped his tea.

"Mr. Merrick, I imagine my daughter Luna has mentioned to you that she wants to do an exclusive interview with you."

"Yes, I agreed. Are you going to start the interview now?"

John paused slightly at Lovegood's words, but nodded.

"That's right, after all, it's a rare opportunity."

"With the news of this explosion as a safety net, coupled with an interview with you, a once-in-a-century genius, I think this issue of 'Singing the Divergent' will break sales records."

"That way, I can take my daughter on another trip abroad during the summer vacation to look for traces of nymphs."

John was speechless after hearing this. No wonder he was Luna's father; he was just as eccentric as Luna.

"Okay, but I'd like to invite a few of my friends to come along for the interview, is that alright?"

Titus and the other two had been looking forward to being interviewed and making the news, so John decided to give them a ride.

I originally thought we'd just talk about Voldemort's news today, so I didn't call the three of them over.

"Of course, the three that Luna mentioned to me, right?"

Mr. Lovegood nodded knowingly.

It seems Luna really did tell her uncle about Titus and the other two; how kind of her!

"Then I'll go and call them over..."

John had just gotten up to call Titus and the other two over when the door to Hagrid's hut was suddenly pushed open.

"No need! We're already here!"

"Good bro, I knew I was right about you!"

Titus led Ryan and Ethan in, excitedly patting John on the shoulder and saying...

"..."

John was so startled by the slap that he stumbled, never expecting that these three rascals were eavesdropping outside the door.

"Hello sir, I am Titus Crow, a good friend of John's. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Titus was the first to approach Mr. Lovegood, and shook his hand excitedly.

Then it was Ethan and Ryan's turn, who also came forward one by one to introduce themselves.

Mr. Lovegood responded to each of them.

He would naturally respect his daughter's friends.

"Since you three are so enthusiastic, shall we start with you?"

"no problem!"

The three responded in unison.

Meanwhile, Harry and Ron, seeing that it was John's interview time, had no intention of staying any longer and left after saying goodbye.

Harry is already worried about tomorrow's spell training session.

Hermione didn't leave; instead, she went to the door and whispered something to John.

"When did you say you wanted to do an exclusive interview?"

"At the beginning of last semester."

John watched as Titus and the other two men in the room exchanged questions and answers with Mr. Lovegood, and responded in a similarly soft voice.

"That was the first time I heard that Luna's father was the editor-in-chief of the dissenting voices, and he even wanted to interview me."

"Then I agreed, but we never scheduled a time. Luckily, I asked Luna to arrange the interview for today."

Hermione nodded thoughtfully, then said with some concern.

"Isn't it too dangerous to suddenly publish such a high-profile announcement at this juncture?"

Hermione was referring to the fact that they were making such a big fuss about the interview, especially since it was happening right at the height of the controversy surrounding the resurrection of Voldemort.

"Don't worry, I'll have Mr. Lovegood keep them anonymous."

No, I'm worried about you.
