v2 Chapter 77： Nicole May's story

The media in the wizarding world is roughly divided into two camps.

The first is the official media. They include newspapers such as "The Ministry of Magic" and "Wizard's Daily", which belong to the Ministry of Magic.

These state media are also the least popular with readers, especially the Wizarding Journal.

A powerful wizard once commented: Their analysis of problems does not involve the core essence, and most of the time they are just mobilizing or expressing emotions, belonging to second-rate newspapers!

The second is the mainstream media, including a series of newspapers or magazines such as "Daily Prophet", "Witcher Weekly", "The Quibbler" and so on.

Among them, the Daily Prophet is the most popular newspaper in the UK.

It's not the official media, but since the paper can have a lot of public opinion in the wizarding world in the UK, it will lean towards the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, according to Wizards Weekly's disclosure, the Ministry of Magic has funded the Daily Prophet's Galleons.

In general, the Daily Prophet is more concerned with the sales of the newspaper, otherwise it would not allow a thorn like Rita Skeeter to publish articles on it.

Rita is undoubtedly a leader in the media industry, her articles are a regular in the major newspapers, and her coverage is extremely wide...terrorist attacks, major events, Ministry of Magic events and other news.

Occasionally, Rita also publishes and writes biographies of famous people, which is quite popular among readers who eat melons.

Compared with Rita, although Lovegood is the editor-in-chief and has his own magazine, the sales are undoubtedly much worse.

The translation of "The Quibbler" into Muggle magazines is probably "Story Club", "Unsolved Mysteries", "Discovering Aliens" and the like.

It's only popular with a small group of readers, like... sand-sculpted schoolchildren like Cedric.

Although the children's money is not much, it is very profitable.

For example, in this year's "The Quibbler - Christmas Special", it was obvious that the cover was different and the content was the same. Cedric just bought all seven cover magazines for his collection.

Rita Skeeter didn't bother to make such little money.

There are many reasons for her success. The most important point is that, as a mature reporter, she understands the deep expectations of readers.

What are readers' expectations?

What readers are most looking forward to is the fall of the goddess, the return of the prodigal son, the collapse of idols, the divorce of star wizards, entertainment gossip...

Rita understands this, and her stories often focus on well-known figures in the wizarding world. The higher the fame and the limelight, the more in line with Rita's expectations, and the readers' expectations.

For example, her biography of Armando Dippet, the last Hogwarts headmaster, Armando Dippet: Master or Idiot? ".

In Dumbledore's words, only one-quarter of the content is true, while the remaining three-quarters are pure fabrications.

But it's this kind of fake and real stuff that makes this book a bestseller.

Again, this time Rita was eyeing Newt.

She wrote in the newspaper that Newt was a scumbag who abandoned Seraphina Picquili, the former president of the Magical Congress of the United States, and suggested that Picquiri's children might be related to Newt.

Create a rich background for the story, preferably involving the grievances of two generations... Rita is well versed in Tang's acting method!

Although Rita hates it, she has to say that she is well-informed and can always get a lot of first-hand top-secret information, holding the lifeblood of most wizards.

Just like Newt was going to secretly go to Romania to release the dragon, Rita actually knew it!

Many people want to find out the source of her intelligence, but no one knows so far.

In Rita's words, she has a group of well-trained little birds, which adds to her mystique.

After dinner, Newt went to his room with his treasure chest.

The old man prepares to reinforce the box and check to see if there is any cutie escaping in the chaos.

He would also write a letter to condemn Rita and ask her to apologize immediately in the newspaper, or else he would go through legal proceedings and be sent to the lawyer Han.

William doesn't quite approve of this method, Newt is too decent, and in this respect, he is indeed a standard Hufflepuff again.

But the consequences of decency are also obvious. Rita is an unscrupulous reporter. After receiving the letter of reprimand, she will only find words in the letter and take it out of context.

Like in the next issue of the paper, William is likely to see... Righteous reporters being threatened by Newt Scamander or something.

Old Man Newt is indeed an expert on magical creatures, but dealing with such reporters should be more drastic.

For example: decapitate Rita's favorite animal, put the head in her bedroom, don't believe she doesn't shut up...

The classic fragment of "The Godfather" has always been William's love.

Of course, William was just talking shit, he didn't want to enter Azkaban yet.

After Newt left, Perenal, the kind old man, took Hermione to her room.

Bobo Tea also swaggered behind the two of them.

Nicole took William for a walk in the manor.

Nicole May's birthday party was said to be a party, but only a few of them attended.

For more than 600 years, the old man never held so-called banquets, and very few outsiders set foot in this manor.

No matter Nicole's birthday, he will invite William over, so this Christmas holiday, William and Hermione will spend at the manor.

"When you left, you were in big trouble Walking on the flat path, Nico laughed out loud.

"No little wizard has flooded the Slytherin lounge yet."

"I'm sorry too..." William scratched his head, he would probably be killed by Snape when he went back.

"How's the situation there now?"

"Don't worry, kid." Nico patted William on the shoulder.

"Albus's power is very strong. As long as he has a wand, he can easily restore everything to its original state."

There was something special in Nicoleme's words, but William didn't get it.

"William, I invited you to come here because I want to talk to you... alone, I'm afraid the letter can't explain clearly."

William sighed. He felt that there was chaos recently, and he also had a lot of questions to ask.

"Let's talk about the day first." Nico paced slowly. "You've heard Newt say the siren, haven't you?"

"Yes, he also mentioned Death, and Mercury even said a different version."

"Well, I know, there are so many things, it's really confusing." Nico laughed.

"When I came into contact with these, I was not much better than you."

"Tonight, boy, do you want to hear my story?" Nicole blinked.

William nodded, and the old man led him into a magnificent building.

The two sat down on a dark hand-chiseled dragon leather chair made of black walnut.

Nick Lemay put his hands together, looked at the ceiling, and said after a moment:

"If you want to know my story, you have to tell the **** of death and the three brothers.

Yes, this is a different story from what you know."

Nico snapped his fingers, and Schubert's string quartet "Death and the Maiden" slowly sounded in the room.
