The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

Professor McGonagall blinked and said, "I used to think you should go to Hufflepuff, but now it seems that you are indeed suitable for Ravenclaw."

"Don't worry, Professor. I don't want to be a reporter anymore."

"If I do, I'll be the boss!"

73 Chapter 3: The feeling of being hugged by others

Professor McGonagall did not make things difficult for Dolly. She gave Dolly a few more instructions and let her leave.

Because although Professor McGonagall disliked people like Rita Skeeter, she had to admit that she was an excellent student in Ravenclaw.

Excellence here refers to success in the secular sense.

When students are students, they may only care about moral character, but when they enter society, whether they can make a good living will become one of the important criteria for judgment.

Rita Skeeter is undoubtedly the best among them - of course, this is Professor McGonagall's evaluation of Rita on the premise that she doesn't know that Rita is actually an illegal Animagus.

The so-called illegal Animagus is one who has learned to transform into an animal but has not reported it to the Ministry of Magic, and the Ministry of Magic requires any Animagus to report it.

This is to prevent the transformed wizard from being hunted as an animal, or being harmed by other wild animals, or from being unable to find missing people after being unable to transform back.

The reason why Rita has reached this point today is not only due to her fabricated journalistic skills, but also because she can transform into an insect and eavesdrop on some exclusive news.

So once it was revealed that Rita was an Animagus, many people would have been happy to throw Rita into Azkaban.

By that time, Rita would naturally have no relationship with the outstanding Ravenclaw graduates.

But now, Rita is still shining her light and giving her warmth.

A few days later, when the heat of Nimbus 2000 had cooled down a bit, Rita revealed another shocking piece of news.

The boss of Guanglun Company secretly met with a mysterious person late at night to discuss how to deal with this matter. Both of them quarreled angrily, but the whistleblower did not say who the other person was.

The whistleblower was actually Rita herself. She saw Lucius appear, and it was obvious that he could no longer sit idly by.

If Guanglun Company were to continue investigating, this matter would definitely be blamed on him. After all, Guanglun Company would not allow its company to go bankrupt just because it was afraid of his status and position.

Rita was also afraid of Lucius' influence and concealed his identity, but this report undoubtedly pushed Nimbus 2000 to the forefront again.

At this time, Lawyer Fei's lawsuit against the Light Cycle Company was finally approved, and the Ministry of Magic's summons was delivered to the Light Cycle Company, although at first glance it seemed impossible to establish the charge of murder.

But to what extent will this new wave suppress the reputation of Lightcycle Corporation?

No one can give a definite answer anymore.

And today, Dolly and Harry have to meet someone else.

Dolly didn't want to meet him at first, but considering that Harry might have lost his broom, she finally agreed to the invitation.

In the original book, Harry's first broom was given by Professor McGonagall.

However, because Professor McGonagall knew about the bet between Harry and Malfoy, the matter of sending the broom has not happened yet. It may be that she will wait until this matter is over.

Otherwise, buying a Nimbus 2000 but having no one use it would actually be a big burden for Professor McGonagall.

After all, Professor McGonagall only earns two or three hundred gold Galleons a month. If she relies solely on salary, the job of a Hogwarts professor is indeed not easy.

Of course, most professors have extra income to earn. Any article written by the professors at Hogwarts or any magical creations they make will become hot commodities on the market.

The person Dolly and Harry wanted to meet was actually nothing special. He had been writing letters wanting to meet Harry Potter for a long time.

This person is Fat Bob, the sales manager who swept the company.

Hengsweep is a direct competitor of Nimbus, and Nimbus 2000 and Hengsweep Seven Stars are two products with comparable performance.

Hengsao Company was still planning various sales strategies to compete with Guanglun Company, but when Guanglun Company encountered such a big mess within itself, Hengsao Company was naturally grinning from ear to ear.

The even smarter sales manager, Fat Bob, plans to sell the Seven Stars Sweep to Harry Potter. In this way, he only needs to release the news in the Daily Prophet, and it is likely that the fate of the Nimbus Company will be difficult to reverse.

The main reason why Dolly didn't want to see him was that this person asked to take a photo with Harry and put it in the newspaper, and Dolly didn't want Harry to be exposed to the media so early.

But on second thought, if Harry were to gain some experience now, perhaps he wouldn't be so embarrassed when facing reporters like Rita in the future.

As for the flying broom and the like, whether she bought it at a low price or was given it directly by the other party, it did not constitute the final decision factor for Dolly.

After all, the Dursleys still had enough money to buy Harry a flying broom.

Several people met in Professor McGonagall's office. Fat Bob was as round as a ball as his name suggested.

But the naive smile on his face, the warm hug he gave Harry, and the price of one gold galleon for sweeping seven stars made Harry feel very fond of this person.

"Anyway, the one Galleon is just a ceremonial gift, representing our company's support for you. We can return the Galleon to you after the photo shoot."

"We only ask for a photo, and we also require you to use our company's products in the competition within three years."

"Of course, if you plan to upgrade our company's new products in the future, we will still sell them to you at the price of one gold galleon. How about that?"

Faced with such conditions, Harry could hardly say no.

Even Professor McGonagall didn't expect that the Nimbus 2000 incident was not over yet, and the subsequent impact had already caught up with the Sideswipe Company.

Who would have thought that the one who caused this turmoil was just a first-year Ravenclaw girl.

"We can promise you that, sir."

Harry finally gave Dolly the right to negotiate. Dolly said seriously, "But you can only post a message tomorrow saying that Harry bought your broom and will use your broom in future competitions, but he is not your spokesperson."

"If you want to use Harry's name for further publicity, then the price will be different."

Fat Bob looked at Dolly in surprise, then finally laughed and said, "Miss Dursley is from a Muggle family like me, right?"

Dolly also laughed and said, "If you're not from a Muggle family, I really don't understand why you know so many marketing tricks."

Fat Bob laughed and agreed to all Dolly's requests.

It's not because he's straightforward, but because he's just representing the Sweep Company to take advantage of Harry's current popularity for a short period of time. Apart from that, they still have to find members of the Quidditch national team to advertise.

With Harry's current fame, he is not yet qualified to become the spokesperson for the Hengsao company.

Moreover, it only costs a few hundred gold Galleons to piggyback on Harry's fame. What's unacceptable about that?

Even these hundreds of gold galleons are quoted to the outside world, and only they themselves know the cost price.

"Then we have a happy cooperation!"

Then, Harry and Fat Bob took a photo side by side. Harry was holding the brand new Sweeping Seven Stars in one hand and smiling happily.

Not long after leaving Professor McGonagall's office, he ran all the way to the playground, feeling the extreme joy brought by sweeping the seven stars.

Compared to the Nimbus 2000, the Seven Stars Sweep is faster, but slightly less sensitive.

All we can say is that both have their own advantages, and how to bring out their performance depends on the player's own inspiration and training.

Harry originally thought that the matter was over.

He has already obtained the Sweeping Seven Stars, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

But two days later, the people from the Nimbus Company asked to see Harry again.

Their spending was even more generous, directly bringing in a Nimbus 2001 that had not yet been released, and six Nimbus 2000s.

All of these were given away for free. They were going to replace the entire Gryffindor team just for a photo with Harry and the entire Gryffindor team.

The reason was just as Dolly had expected. The move made by Hengsao Company yesterday was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Prophet Daily was full of Hengsao Seven Stars' promotional copy.

Originally, Guanglun Company relied on its excellent products and did not have to worry too much about sales even if it was temporarily at a disadvantage in the public opinion field.

But when Hengsao Company stepped in, it finally made Guanglun Company feel the crisis of life and death. After all, Hengsao Company really had the excellent product Hengsao Seven Stars.

If all of Nimbus's potential customers buy the Seven Stars Sweep, they'll be finished.

Just because a middle-level manager was a classmate of Lucius Malfoy, accepted 200 gold Galleons from Lucius, and then let the entire Nimbus Corporation be buried with him?

Not to mention that Lucius can't do it, even if the Minister of Magic comes, he can't do it!

Although Wood and Harry were very tempted, they did not directly agree to the Nimbus Company.

Instead, he found Dolly to discuss the matter seriously, even though Dolly was actually from Ravenclaw and the two houses were competitors in Quidditch.

Because they knew very well that without Dolly, they would have to ask Professor McGonagall to buy Harry's Nimbus 2000, let alone six Nimbus s.

"My request is simple: they should give an explanation regarding Harry's Nimbus 2000. This explanation must be published in the newspaper."

"As for how it's explained, I don't care, but it must be written down in black and white."

Dolly could see that the Nimbus Corporation and the murderer behind the scenes had fallen out.

But this does not mean that the murderer behind the scenes will be caught, because they will most likely find a scapegoat and then add a little confusion spell to the scapegoat.

This is the lowest-cost way to deal with the problem, and it is much less impactful than if the Light Cycle Company and the mastermind really fall out.

And the scapegoat who was cast with the Confusion Charm would be acquitted because he was also a victim.

As for the real perpetrator, the murderer who cast the Confusion Spell, where did he go?

The Ministry of Magic will definitely launch a full-scale investigation, but how long will the investigation last and whether there will be any results...

After all, they even perfunctorily investigated Voldemort's resurrection in the future, let alone just for a mere flying broom.

If Fudge didn't care about the public votes, the Ministry of Magic would probably skip even the formality process.

Nimbus didn't expect Dolly to be so demanding, so they agreed to Dolly's request without hesitation. They even put the flying brooms in front of the three people and left without looking back, without worrying that they would regret it.

This made Wood both happy and sad. He was happy that every Gryffindor could have a Nimbus 2000, but Harry would continue to use the Crossfire because of the contract.

As for who will use this latest Nimbus 2001?

Theoretically, Wood and the others could also use it, but Wood and Harry looked at each other and understood the thoughts in each other's eyes.

They couldn't let Dolly get nothing, after all, it was Dolly who had been working hard up until now.

At least these two Gryffindors couldn't understand how Dolly could have set off such a wave in the Daily Prophet that lasted for half a month.

"Sister, Captain Wood and I have decided to give you this broom."

"I?"

Dolly was a little stunned. Looking at the handmade Nimbus 2001, which had not yet been mass-produced, she said, "This is a good thing. What if you give it to a Chaser?"

Wood shook his head and said, "We still prefer to be more organized. Honestly, the fact that Harry used the Transcendent Seven while we used the Nimbus 2000 already makes me uncomfortable."

"Please don't bring a different broom, or we won't know how to line up for photos."

Wood said this with a smile, pretending to be obsessive-compulsive, and handed the Nimbus 2001 to Dolly.

Harry also persuaded Dolly to accept it. He was very grateful to Dolly for her busy work during this period.

The only reason Dolly could help across colleges was because of the sibling relationship between the two, and this was the most precious treasure for Harry.

"Then I'll take it. Don't regret it."

Dolly held the broom in her hand and an idea flashed in her eyes.

Wood and Harry looked at each other, not realizing the seriousness of the problem. They just thought Dolly was looking for excuses to shirk responsibility, so they said together that they would not regret it.

Holding the Nimbus 2001 in his hand, Dolly is like a victorious general, looking for his wife and wanting to share his joy with her.

Hermione didn't follow them this time because Dolly often went to Harry and the others to discuss their opinions these days, and Hermione, who was not very keen on Quidditch, no longer followed them all the time.

Her research on blood-replenishing medicine has reached a critical stage. If she is given more time, she will be able to calmly help Dolly prepare the potion.

So Dolly simply turned back to the dormitory and headed towards the training ground of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.

As a result, before the person arrived, Roger's dissatisfied voice was heard.

"Qiu Zhang, this is not like your speed."

"The emotions and abilities you displayed that day far surpassed those you displayed today."

"If you're just having a bad day occasionally, I understand, but it's been half a month. At least try to replicate your performance from that day."

"I beg you!"

Roger's attitude was not good, not because Qiu Zhang had become very bad.

Even if Qiu Zhang's performance was not as good as that day, he is still the strongest Seeker in Ravenclaw House.

However, at this level, there is no hope of competing for first or second place, and third place is a result that Ravenclaw often gets. What Roger wants is to break through himself.

Qiu Zhang said nothing. She tried hard to get over the feeling of that day, but she always felt empty in her heart, as if something was missing.

At this moment, Qiu Zhang saw a shadow of golden hair out of the corner of his eye.

She ignored Roger who wanted to say something, and flew to Dolly on her broom. Looking at the smiling Dolly, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Or where to begin.
