Chapter 389： Interview

Lynn was embarrassed by Hermione Harry's stunned expressions.

He coughed twice and glared at Skeeter.

"Don't tell me this mess, Hogwarts is very good under Professor Dumbledore's governance. I just came to you to reveal that there is other news."

At this time, Skeeter also saw that she had just said something wrong, and she hurriedly changed the subject.

"You said Mr. Belloc, I promise that no matter what the news is, it will definitely appear on the front page of the Daily Prophet tomorrow!"

Lynn pulled over to try to get the limelight, but when this kind of occasion came, there was some only Ron.

"Just the day before yesterday afternoon, a nasty attack took place inside Hogwarts Castle. Sirius Black, who escaped from the prison, sneaked into Hogwarts Castle and attacked a student."

Listening to Lynn talking about this, Skeeter's eyes lit up suddenly.

Lynn didn't lie to her, it was really big news about Black.

Even if she does not need to deliberately lick it, such news is absolutely qualified to be on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper.

Skeeter's shorthand quill was quickly writing large paragraphs of words on the blank parchment, and she herself began to look serious and serious.

Eskitte has been in the workplace for so many years, and he can obviously figure out what Lynn means now.

She just had to report this set of news honestly, and she didn't have to do anything else.

To do more is to make more mistakes.

"The student he attacked is the one next to you, right?"

Skeeter changed the goal of the question to Ron. At this time, Ron seemed to have eased from the initial tension, his face flushed, and he said smoothly.

"Yes, he attacked me on my way in the dormitory that afternoon and used a petrification spell on me."

"Petrification Charm? He tortured you? He tortured Harry Potter?"

"No, he did not."

Skeeter is really interested in this matter.

Everyone guessed that Black escaped from Azkaban just to come to Hogwarts to find Harry Potter to avenge his master.

But the Hogwarts attack occurred, but only Harry's friends were attacked, and he was tortured for things that had nothing to do with Harry.

Such news can perfectly arouse the viewer's desire to continue reading.

The biggest thing that happened in the magic world recently is Black's escape from prison.

Everyone knows that he is a dangerous man, his notoriety is well-known, and his every move attracts attention.

Just like the famous terrorists in the past.

Now, instead of going to bomb the building, they went to the Pentagon to steal information.

Then what information he wants to get, and what he wants to do naturally affects the hearts of the people who eat melons.

"Then what did he ask you about?"

Ron also gradually entered the state, and said with a little excitement.

"He forced to ask where my mouse went, oh yes, it's this one, my pet Scabbard, he happened to get lost before, just before Black attacked me.

I told him that Shaban was missing. He was very angry. I could see it. He seemed very angry. Then I used a coma spell on me and I didn't know anything.

As a result, yesterday, Shaban was back on its own again! "

Ron's acting is very realistic, and it is possible that he himself actually believed this matter to be true.

He held the old, tired-looking mouse lying in his palm.

The forelimb with a broken finger was facing the camera behind Skeeter, so that the photographer could clearly photograph him and the mouse in his hand.

After listening to his story, Skeeter looked distrustful.

For Lynn, naturally he said it was what he said.

Even if he said that Voldemort was resurrected and turned into a little blonde loli, Skeeter would take her as a real report on the front page of the Daily Prophet.

But she would question what Ron said.

"How can Black be interested in a mouse."

Skeeter wrinkled and looked at the gray mouse in Ron's hand tomorrow, and didn't even want to touch it with his own hand.

Ron was a little anxious.

"Professor Dumbledore can testify for me, and so can Lynn."

Skeeter turned his gaze to Lynn.

Lynn nodded to her: "I can prove that what Ron said is true."

With this sentence, no matter how bizarre this matter is, it is still true!

Later, Skeeter asked Ron again about the causes and consequences, including what was peculiar about his mouse, and whether his family had any hatred with Black before.

In the end, she harvested a thick pile of original press releases before the dinner started, and left with the photographer's satisfaction.

On the way to the auditorium for dinner, Ron was extremely excited.

It was the first time that he had accepted such a high-level interview, and he was the only subject of the interview, even Halisket did not say a few words to him.

Hermione had clearly discovered that this unscrupulous reporter who came to Hogwarts from the Daily Prophet must have some unspeakable secret relationship with Lynn.

"She was bought by you?" Hermione asked secretly in Lynn's ear.

Lynn raised his eyebrows: "How is it possible? I didn't give her a penny, and she didn't dare to take my money."

"Then why does she seem to obey you?" Hermione looked at Lynn suspiciously, telling her instinctively that there must be something dirty between this reporter and Lynn in private.

Lynn blinked his eyes: "If I say that the Daily Prophet is half of my holdings, she is actually flattering me, do you believe it?"

"How can it be That is the Daily Prophet, the most authoritative newspaper in the entire British magical world, you can't control it even if you have money!"

The equity of the newspaper, the Prophet Daily, is indeed very dispersed, and its main shareholders are actually pure-blood families.

These people clearly know the importance of controlling public opinion.

But they didn't want any one to monopolize such an extremely influential newspaper, so they dispersed the equity, and one family took a little bit to check and balance each other within the newspaper.

But now, all the industries of the pure-blood families have fallen into the hands of Old John, which naturally includes the equity of these families in the Daily Prophet.

Together, the scattered equity of these families has been close to 50% of the total shares, and Old John has naturally become the largest shareholder of the newspaper.

But no matter what the old John and Lynn are doing, they cannot completely control this leading newspaper.

Because the second largest shareholder of the Daily Prophet is the British Ministry of Magic.
