Chapter 522 Whose trick

"As expected of Albert."

After George saw the headlines of today's Daily Prophet, he was shocked and shook off the spiky potatoes on his hands.

"Speaking of which, how on earth did he convince that woman, Rita Skeeter?"

On the headline section of the Daily Prophet, an exclusive interview was published about the world's youngest wizard chess champion.

This interview wiped out all the scandals about Albert.

"I guess Garen was definitely not used to settle that woman."

Fred, who just leaned his head over, conjectured, "According to Albert's habit, he probably caught Rita Skeeter's handle and threatened her to correct her mistake."

"I think so too." George agreed.

Of course they know that Albert has enough Garen to settle Rita Skeeter, but Albert is not a person who likes to suffer and hold back. Just look at the fate of those Slytherin students who want to trouble him. Yes, the possibility of Hua Jialong's settlement is very low.

The biggest possibility is to directly grab Rita Skeeter's handle, forcefully hold the opponent's head, and let her solve the problem by herself.

I have to say that after being roommates for several years, the twins still know Albert's character very well.

"What's the reason?" Percy asked curiously. He also knew what kind of person Rita Skeeter was.

"How do we know, you ask him yourself." George thought for a while and said.

"However, I think if you ask Albert, he will probably tell you that he spent money to settle Rita Skeeter."

If Albert doesn't want to say it, he can find countless truths to answer your question.

"I'm back."

At this moment, Mr. Weasley dragged his tired body into the house. He had been working overtime for several days in a row recently, and even ransacked seven houses in a row last night, and found a lot of contraband.

"Dad, you're back." Percy got up and took Mr. Weasley's briefcase, and put it where he usually put it.

"That's terrible, the Ministry of Magic is in a mess," muttered Mr. Weasley.

"What's going on?" Ron couldn't help asking.

"It's not the exclusive interview with Rita Skeeter, which is considered to cause international disputes." Mr. Weasley took the lead, pointed to the newspaper George was flipping through and said, "You see the following Just a few articles, interviews about Albert Anderson's trip to America."

Several people turned to the third edition, and soon realized why they said that it might cause international disputes.

"I don't think Albert should have lied. In fact, he rarely lies to deceive others." George felt a little uneasy in his heart as soon as he finished speaking.

Albert really didn't lie much?

He is just good at misleading others with true words, so most of the things in the newspaper are probably true.

Didn't lie.

Well, there's nothing wrong with it.

"Right now, many wizards in the British wizarding world don't like the Magical Congress of America, and even started to discuss the policies of the United States that are different from other countries." Mr. Weasley bit his sausage and muttered, "If it weren't for the newspaper saying The use of owls is not allowed in the American wizarding community, and I even suspect that a bunch of people have sent letters to that Mr. Carter."

"They can use the international mail channel." George said without thinking.

"Yes Yes."

Mr. Weasley muttered, "Someone in the United States is protesting that Britain is sending a large number of letters and packages containing black magic or dangerous items."

"Great, I think that Mr. Carter will be very pleasantly surprised."

"This is not a good idea, it will cause international disputes." Mr. Weasley looked at his sons gloating, and sighed helplessly.

"Dad, I think Albert's words are true." Fred said solemnly, "America probably looks like that."

"That's right." Fred nodded and echoed, "When he wrote last time, he also told us that he would not go to the United States again, and also warned us that it is best to stay away from the United States, wizards who are not familiar with the laws there , It is easy to commit a felony and be imprisoned in a prison.”

"We've never seen Albert so unabashedly expressing his dislike for something." Fred and George said in unison.

Mr. Weasley choked for a moment. In fact, many wizards really don't know what is going on in the United States, but the Daily Prophet highlighted a name: "Rappaport Law".

Mr. Weasley felt that Rita Skeeter was going to use this to make trouble.

For example, the newspaper described that the staff of the Magic Congress of the United States deliberately embarrassed others because of jealousy, and deliberately discredited the champion of the International Wizard Chess Competition in the Ghost Daily because he defeated the most promising player in the United States to win the Wizard Chess Championship?

American journalists also deliberately distorted the facts and found scandals because Albert refused to interview?

Rita Skeeter even wrote at the end of this interview:

The author broke into a cold sweat for our young international wizard chess champion. If it weren’t for his cautious character, he might have accidentally violated the laws of the Magical Congress of America and would have to spend the second half of this year in a prison in the United States. time.

The author sincerely hopes that the Magical Congress of America will consider Mr. Anderson's proposal and print a guide to entry into the magical society of the United States, so as to reduce the unintentional violation of the laws of the Magical Congress of America.

Look, are these all human words?

How do you look at it, it looks like the Magical Congress of the United States is deliberately luring wizards going to the United States to violate the laws formulated by the Magical Congress of the United States?

However, once this newspaper was published, it aroused the sympathy of the majority of wizards for what happened to their young champion in the United States.

Albert received a lot of comfort letters, and many people even sent him a lot of candy and other small gifts.

It's just that Albert threw these things into a box and sealed them up.

While they were talking about newspaper news, Ron's inappropriate voice suddenly sounded, "Dad, I think Harry might be in some trouble. I've sent him 12 letters, but he hasn't sent me any reply."

"If Harry hasn't replied in the past few days, I'll pick him up in person. As you all know, I've been busy in the past few days!" Mr. Weasley said upon hearing this.

Although he felt that this kind of thing was a bit rash, he felt that Harry's guardian would not refuse the invitation if he went over in person.

However, things changed much faster than Mr. Weasley expected!

Before leaving get off work that night, Mr. Weasley heard from a colleague that the famous Harry Potter violated the secrecy law by using magic in front of Muggles and was warned by the Ministry of Magic.

It's just that Mr. Weasley ransacked his home ruthlessly recently, and he still needs to be approved by the Ministry of Magic. The process is relatively slow. He regrets that he didn't find an acquaintance to help him connect to the Floo network.

Mr. Weasley didn't know that after learning about this, Ron and his twin brothers were also discussing Harry's affairs.

"I think Harry must be in some serious trouble, otherwise it would be impossible to use magic in front of Muggles. He must know that this is forbidden." After hearing the news, Ron became more and more uneasy.

"Perhaps, we can personally pick him up at our house." Fred said suddenly. He took out the universal knife that Albert had sent them, and there was a note on it: just in case.

"We can't use magic." Ron reminded.

"Papa's car can be used." George said without hesitation: "I think Albert is implying us that Harry may be locked up, so he thinks we will use the lockpicking tool of this knife."

"Lock picking?"

Ron was a little confused.

"That's a Muggle trick, a little trick we learned from Albert. There are many doors in Hogwarts that cannot be opened with the Alahoh hole spell, but they can be opened with Muggle tricks." Fred explained.

Based on his understanding of Albert, the other party sent them a universal knife with such a message. It is likely that Albert learned that they would rescue Harry Potter through prophecy.

Of course, hearing this in Ron's ears, he felt that Fred and George were making excuses for themselves, but he agreed to use the flying car.

That car was modified by Mr. Weasley to make it invisible. At night, no one will notice that there is a car flying in the sky.

"But how are we going to drive the car away quietly?" Ron muttered.

"Don't worry, I have a solution!" Fred said with a smile, "You go and help me watch my mother, and George and I will go get the car keys."

In the middle of the night, Fred used the Flying Charm to get the car keys, and the three sneaked downstairs to the garage, got into the modified Ford car, activated the invisible button, and let the car drive out of the garage , flew towards the sky.
