Chapter 656 "The Quibbler"
Satisfied, Rita Skeeter stuffed a large stack of sheepskins and shorthand quills into her alligator bag, and told Luna that she would soon send the final draft to her father.
"Then you'd better hurry up," Luna said earnestly. "My dad is writing a great article about the Bubble Snot Monster recently. It's a very important article. If you're late, you'll have to wait. It's the next issue."
"Sorry, what did you say?" Rita Skeeter looked blank.
"Bubble Snot," Luna explained patiently to her, "it's a magical creature with a huge nose..."
"Ah... ok, thank you for your explanation, I will send the manuscript to Mr. Lovegood as soon as possible..."
Skeeter smiled perfunctorily, regretting a little...
I actually want to publish an article in an unreliable magazine like "The Quibbler".
After being interrupted by Luna, Skeeter was in no mood to stay here any longer. After hugging and saying goodbye to Fish, she hurriedly left Hogwarts.
"Luna, Xenophilius is really all right, meow?" After Skeeter left, Fish asked with concern: "According to Rita, the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters may have trouble with him. Meow."

"Of course, Dad, he has published many articles exposing the Ministry of Magic and Fudge before this, and there has been no problem." Luna replied confidently.
"That's because those previous articles were all nonsense..." Hermione whispered from the side, causing Luna to glare at him.
Before they could quarrel again, Harry diverted Luna's attention by saying, "And the Death Eaters, they're not the same as the Ministry of Magic."
"That reporter dared to write this article, and of course my dad dared to report it!" Luna shook her head, and the pair of radish-shaped earrings swayed, and after a while, she said: "And I also I'll write a letter to remind Dad."
No matter how bizarre Luna was, she still feared Voldemort and Death Eaters like any other wizard.
Harry walked out of the Room of Requirement in a mood of excitement and anticipation. He couldn't wait to see Luna's dad publish the report, and Umbridge's face would definitely look good by then.
It's just that his good mood only lasted until the evening. After dinner, Harry suddenly came back to his senses. He will go to Snape to practice Occlumency tonight!
And what happened this afternoon has a high chance of being seen by Snape...
He wanted to discuss it with Hermione and Fish, but the two of them had no idea where they had slipped after dinner.
"Isn't there Fish here? Snape shouldn't punish you for this..." Ron comforted, but his tone sounded guilty, and he obviously didn't quite believe what he said.
However, no matter how worried Harry was, Occlumency still had to be learned, so he could only come to Snape's office with an uneasy mood.
"Get ready, let's get started." Snape was not interested in wasting time with Harry, and after Harry entered the door, he raised his wand directly, "Lilimitism!"
As with Fish's previous memories of Ginny, the more Harry didn't want Snape to know, the more the afternoon's memories came to his mind.
After a while, Harry, who finally broke free, looked at Snape with a pale face.
"Hmph..." Snape's mouth twitched slightly, and sarcastically said, "Looks like our big star is going to be in the limelight again."
Harry's face flushed instantly, but at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Since Snape said so, he should not care about this matter, and Fish was also involved, he should Nor will it leak to Umbridge.
And Snape seemed to see what he was thinking, and sneered: "I'm not interested in taking care of your plan to become famous, calm down, get rid of distracting thoughts, let's continue!"
He drank lowly, and used Legilimency on Harry again.
...
Harry and Fish were interviewed by Rita Skeeter about publishing the truth about Voldemort's resurrection on The Quibbler, and the members of the Cat Society soon learned.
This time it wasn't that Fish was leaking it, but that Hermione took the initiative to tell the others at the meeting.
"Want to see Umbridge's reaction to that issue of The Quibbler," Dean said.
His words were widely recognized by the cat knights, and it was obvious that Harry was not alone in having such expectations.
After discussing excitedly for a while, everyone began to practice the Patronus Charm again. It seems that because of this good news, many people have made significant progress.
But so far, apart from Fish and Harry, none of them has been able to successfully summon a formed Patronus.
In this way, the time soon came to February.
This morning, Fish was sitting with everyone on the long table in Gryffindor, as usual, eating breakfast, and feeding Hermione a piece of food from time to time.
The others were eating breakfast and chatting about some miscellaneous topics in twos and threes.
But things changed as the first owl to deliver the letter flew into the auditorium.
A large number of owls flew to the long table in Gryffindor and delivered letters to Fish and Harry, along with the two February issues of The Quibbler.
On the cover, Harry is smiling shyly, while the restless Fish is flickering, most of the time he can only be seen passing by, or suddenly appearing from the edge of the magazine 's brain.
Beneath the title and issue of The Quibbler is a line of large red characters - "The truth that the Ministry of Magic has been hiding: The Mysterious Man is back!"
"That's great, isn't it?" Luna wandered over to the Gryffindor table and squeezed into a seat between Fish and Parvati. "It came out yesterday, and I asked my dad to give you a copy. I thought about that. It's all letters from readers."
She raised her finger to the owl that still filled almost a third of the Gryffindor table.
"Hurry up and help Feixu take down all the letters, Feixu isn't full yet!"
(`ω)
The cat put down the knife and fork, quickly pulled the envelopes from the feet of the owls, and asked the classmates next to him for help.
Everyone giggled and reached out to help him and Harry take down all the letters.
After Fish and Harry agreed, a group of people opened the letter together again.
The letters were mixed, some who believed in Fish and Harry, and some who didn't.
But maybe Rita Skeeter's article is too brilliant and perfect, or maybe it's influenced by those who have seen Fish, and believe that their number is obviously larger, and Fish here gets The positive feedback is obviously more than Harry's, and there are even many witches who have sent photos of themselves to Fish...
Of course, these photos were confiscated by Hermione and other female classmates On the side of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, there are also members of the cat club who ordered "The Quibbler" in advance, At this point they were circulating and discussing it, and even a curious Slytherin had asked for a copy from them.
And Dumbledore was holding a copy of "The Quibbler" in his hand at this time. He was drinking oatmeal while watching the above report cheerfully, obviously he had been notified by Snape long ago. In addition to him, Snape and Professor McGonagall each had a copy of The Quibbler.
Umbridge didn't notice what was going on on their side, because there was too much movement on the Gryffindor side, so she hurried off the staff table and came behind Fish and Harry.
"What's going on here?"
she asked in a sweet, girly voice that she pretended to be.
