With extraordinary comprehension, I built a floating city at Hogwarts.

Hearing this, Luna also came over and began reading the headline of the Wizarding Weekly:

"He may be a boy who is different from others, but he also experiences the pain that is common to boys in their adolescence. Rita Skeeter."

“Rita Skeeter!” she looked up. “I know this woman. She’s malicious, but she’s certainly good at using words to grab attention.”

“The best is yet to come,” Astoria urged, “keep reading!”

So Luna continued reading in her singing voice:

"After losing his parents, fourteen-year-old Harry Potter thought he had finally found emotional solace at Hogwarts with his best friend, Ron Weasley, who came from a pure-blood family. He ate and slept with him for three years, never leaving his side. But little did he know that in his life, which had already experienced so much pain, he would soon suffer another emotional trauma."

"So Harry likes men?" Cho Chang asked doubtfully. "But Harry's Christmas dance partner was a girl, wasn't she?"

"No, Potter has a crush on you, Cho Chang. Maybe he and Ron are close, but it's probably just a normal friendship... maybe a little more than that?"

Luna shook her head and explained.

She could tell that Harry liked girls, but the special connection between Harry and Ron really puzzled her.

"He has a crush on me, how did you know!" Zhang Qiu was very surprised. "I didn't know about this at all."

“I can see the pink spark between Harry Potter and you,” Luna explained seriously. “Ginny told me that Harry had been trying to ask you to dance before the Christmas Ball. He had been planning it for a long time before making the request, but unfortunately you refused.”

They can see it through psychic abilities, yet they insist on calling it "pink radio waves."

Levin was both amused and exasperated by Luna's novel idea of ​​having one every day.

Zhang Qiu was confused by Luna's new words again, but she could roughly understand what the other person meant. She couldn't help but frown: "It's a good thing I rejected him. I need to stay away from him next time."

She didn't want to talk about this in front of Levin, even though she was the one who was passive.

“Rita Skeeter is very good at writing articles that fabricate compelling facts based on hearsay, and many people enjoy reading them, even if the content is not true, people will believe it to be true.”

Luna returned to her seat, no longer interested in reading. She picked up the latest issue of "Singing the Quibbles" and began to enjoy the article about her father's discovery of sage.

Marietta, however, was quite interested in this kind of gossip, so at her request, Zhang Qiu continued reading the article:

"After the World Cup, Viktor Krum finally met the love of his life at Hogwarts—Ron Weasley."

"Ron Weasley is an ordinary-looking but ambitious wizard who seems to have a particular fondness for famous wizards, but Harry alone cannot satisfy his appetite. Ever since his encounter with Viktor Krum, the renowned Seeker of the Bulgarian team, at the World Cup, Mr. Weasley has been toying with the feelings of the two wizards..."

She paused, then inwardly agreed. It would be best if Harry stayed with Ron and didn't interfere with her love life.

Cho Chang continued reading: "Krum was clearly bewitched by the cunning red-haired Mr. Weasley. After the second match of the Triwizard Tournament, he went to the infirmary but instead of visiting his dance partner, he started vying with Harry for Ron Weasley."

More and more eaglets were drawn to this area. Zhang Qiu glanced at Marietta and continued reading, "Perhaps Mr. Krum should be aware that what makes these unfortunate boys so infatuated is probably not Ron Weasley's personal charm..."

“Ron’s personal charm,” Marietta whispered. “What personal charm does Ron have… Principal Karkaroff should probably test whether Mr. Krum has accidentally taken an aphrodisiac… Yes, I think he did.”

As she spoke, she took the newspaper and read the last paragraph of the article: "Of course, love potions are naturally prohibited at Hogwarts, and Albus Dumbledore undoubtedly needs to investigate this matter seriously. At the same time, those who have good intentions towards Mr. Krum hope that next time he offers his true feelings, he will choose a more worthy candidate."

"Ron is making a love potion?" Zhang Qiu asked Levin in surprise.

"Maybe, who knows?" Levin shrugged, not wanting to defend Ron.

Harry and Ron, back in Gryffindor, also saw the newspaper.

After reading 4.9, Harry angrily threw the newspaper on the ground and complained loudly, "I thought she had changed her ways, but it's another report like this... But how did she take this photo?"

He looked at Ron and asked, "Did you see Rita in the school infirmary?"

“No.” Ron shook his head blankly. “At the time, besides the patients, only you and Krum were in the school infirmary.”

The two racked their brains but still couldn't figure out how the other had taken the photo.

Finally, Harry reminded Ron, "We need to stay away from Rita Skeeter next time! She portrayed you as that kind of person—a homewrecker, a slut, a beach bum!"

"A mistress? On the beach?! The newspaper says I'm her boyfriend!" Ron immediately retorted.

Harry was speechless at his answer: "Don't nitpick over such details, you idiot, you're not really gay!"

Chapter 389 Manipulating Public Opinion

After finishing breakfast, Levin also began to look through today's newspaper.

Seeing these grudges and disputes between Ron, Krum, and Harry, he couldn't help but shake his head.

As expected of Rita Skeeter, her fabrications are so vivid that he couldn't help but watch from beginning to end. Even though he knew the truth, he still felt that the three of them did have some inside story.

Of course, magazines like The Wizarding Weekly also gave extensive coverage to the second match. While they all reported on the battle between the Lady of the Lake and the giant squid, they had different opinions on the Lady of the Lake's identity and the question of who was behind it.

Levin put down "Wizarding Weekly" and immediately opened "The Daily Prophet," which basically represents the official stance of the Ministry of Magic.

The reports about the Lady of the Lake and the giant squid occupied most of the pages. Levin looked at them intently and found them very positive, and he completely accepted the explanation that Rowena was the Lady of the Lake who guarded the Black Lake.

As for the question of who was behind the giant squid's berserk state, the Daily Prophet followed Levin's explanation exactly as it had been presented yesterday.

Unveiling the sabotage incident at the Triwizard Tournament, the Aurors successfully tracked down and killed the mastermind behind it all.

Recently, a shocking incident occurred during the highly anticipated Triwizard Tournament. Fortunately, the Aurors launched a thorough investigation immediately and discovered crucial clues on the same day. Through in-depth tracking and investigation, the mastermind behind it all finally surfaced.

According to the Aurora 19 office, the mastermind behind all this is named Morse Adonis, who has been involved in numerous major cases and is one of the most wanted fugitives on the night of the World Cup. Morse Adonis is known for his ruthlessness, cunning, and caution. He fled to Albania immediately after realizing that the Aurora might have discovered his whereabouts.

The Aurors then raided one of Morse Adonis's hideouts in London and found crucial evidence. This evidence showed that Morse's attack on the Triwizard Tournament was retaliation for the Ministry of Magic's arrests on World Cup Night.

Morse believed that their defeat on World Cup night was due to a conspiracy between the International Department of Magical Cooperation and the Department of Magical Sports, so he chose to attack another competition jointly organized by the two departments—the Triwizard Tournament.

Faced with such a major case, Ms. Nifadora Tonks, Deputy Director of the Auror Office and Head of Security for the Triwizard Tournament, made a decisive move, dispatching an Auror team to Albania to cooperate with the Auror team stationed there to track down Morse Adonis.

With the help of the squad stationed in Albania, the Aurors successfully located the suspect. However, the suspect fiercely resisted arrest. After attempts to persuade him to surrender failed, the Aurors attempted to apprehend him, but were met with fierce resistance. Squad leader Cyril Rayanlun acted decisively, killing the suspect on the spot.

Finally, the evidence found on the suspect and the "Pre-Flashback Charm" on the wand confirmed that Morse Adonis was the murderer and received his just deserts.

The successful resolution of this incident demonstrates the Aurors' professionalism, efficiency, leadership, teamwork, and courage.

Thanks to their exceptional detective skills and rapid response, they swiftly identified and apprehended the suspect on the very day of the incident—an efficiency far exceeding previous levels. This fully demonstrates the correctness of the Auror system reforms under the leadership of Jaina Proudmoore, the Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude and highest respect to the Aurors who participated in this operation. Their hard work and selfless dedication have made a tremendous contribution to the safety and stability of the wizarding world. At the same time, we hope this incident will inspire broader attention and reflection, so as to jointly safeguard the harmony and peace of the wizarding world.

Levin nodded. It wasn't hard to predict that the Daily Prophet would approve of or even whitewash his use of dark magic. With Jaina and the others around, there was no need to worry about the official newspaper's opinion.

Next, Levin flipped through Luna's Quixote, which also reported on the news, but focused on the Fairy of the Lake, arguing from multiple angles that it was reasonable for there to be a Fairy of the Lake in the Black Lake.

As for the question of who was behind it all, The Quibblers barely touched on it, but their overall attitude was more positive than The Daily Prophet, praising the Aurors' efficiency this time.

莱文看完之后月"费群"8,;57?6!?6.3!4?:42免'"费!;提.取次??元'.鸡刺猬菠萝,"看!群;简:介加Q?'无,'偿接五折..代?!購

"Hundreds of books," "Free book search," "New books posted irregularly," made me laugh.

After all, it's their own newspaper, so it's only natural to embellish it a bit; that's the benefit of controlling public opinion.

Of course, some magazines have shown a different attitude compared to these newspapers, the most typical being the Daily Prophet's biggest competitor (in its own opinion) – the Wizarding World News.

In addition, the famous free gossip tabloid Rumors! in the UK, and a French newspaper Le Cri de la Gargouille (meaning the scream of a gargoyle), also held similar skeptical views.

They believed that the Aurors' ability to catch and kill the perpetrator within a day of the incident was a frame-up, and that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it.

Of course, most of their motives and evidence are baseless. For example, the reason given by "The Voice of the Gargoyle" is that "the World Cup night itself is a collective persecution of innocent wizards by the Ministry of Magic of the Underworld"—typical of the Gallic people, they can't be comfortable without taking a jab at John Bull.

But they did stumble upon the truth of the matter by sheer luck.

Of course, there are also those who are genuinely making baseless and unfounded suspicions. For example, Rumors! points out that the Lady of the Lake is purely a rumor, and the so-called berserk squid was also staged by Hogwarts to gain attention for the Triwizard Tournament. It truly lives up to its name, Rumors!, as it only publishes information that isn't a rumor.

Meanwhile, Cirira was sitting in the office of the Auror's Investigation Department.

She had just arrived at the office and hadn't even taken off her coat yet. She leaned back in her chair, holding a copy of "Wizard Weekly" in her hands. Her two long, slender, white legs were draped over the desk, and her black leather shorts outlined her rounded curves. Her bright red lips were slightly pursed, and her brows were slightly furrowed.

The other clerks in the office didn't dare look at Shireira. The only sounds in the office were the scratching of quills on parchment and the rocking of Shireira's chair.

Suddenly, Cyril laughed out loud. A broad-faced wizard turned around and glanced at her. Cyril raised her eyes and swept them over, and he immediately turned his head away in fright.

Why would the higher-ups put such a female demon in their office? Shouldn't such a lethal weapon be placed on the front lines?

Shireira chuckled and turned her attention back to the newspaper in front of her.

She never expected that Levin would pin the biggest credit on her in his plan to cover up the truth—"Squad Leader Cirira Rayanlen acted decisively and killed the suspect on the spot."

She knew perfectly well that this was all Levin's doing, in order to gain credit for the high-profile event and downplay the impression of her "excessive killing" in Albania.

Of course, he killed someone again this time.

But killing someone and killing someone are not the same thing.

Just like some cases can trend on social media, while others can only fade into obscurity.

The public's attention to "hot topics" and "non-hot topics" is naturally different.

The criminals killed in Albania were also heinous criminals, but the public didn't know or care about how heinous they were; they only knew that they were criminals.

Since they are merely criminals and their crimes are abstract, the public does not harbor any particular hatred towards them and is more likely to feel sympathy for their deaths out of a sense of compassion.

But this time the murderer is different.

He was a "real" threat to the Triwizard Tournament, and nearly killed the three warriors.

These three warriors each have a simple background: they are either heiresses or international stars.

In such hot-button topics, the perpetrator's crimes are specific, and specific crimes will attract specific hatred. In this situation, a sense of compassion simply cannot play a role.

If everyone hates the murderer, then the public will actually think she "did the right thing to do"!

And as a side effect, his actions in Albania will also be seen as "good riddance"!

This controversy, which has damaged his reputation, will soon be forgotten.

Although Levin didn't say it, Cirira knew very well that this plan was designed from the very beginning to clear her name, and Levin seized the opportunity perfectly.

He was always thinking of himself.

Thinking of this, Shirella felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

Indeed, it was worth doing some outrageous things to collect souls for him.

Chapter 390 Potions Class

Ron felt extremely conflicted.

Because rumors began circulating at Hogwarts, fabricated by Rita Skeeter: Ron Weasley, a master at concocting love potions, had bewitched the Savior and the World Cup's top Seeker.

As a result, many girls secretly asked him how to concoct love potions.
