Rita Skeeter, a special newspaper correspondent, reported that when she was resting quietly at home last night, a loud noise attracted her attention and the surrounding neighbors—A plume of smoke.
"As a professional reporter, I, Rita Skeeter of the Daily Prophet, one of the senior reporters, entered the dangerous Knockturn Alley without hesitation to inquire about the freshest first-hand news for everyone.
The results of the investigation are shocking; the incident was triggered by a Hogwarts professor named Ethan, who, for now unknown reasons, had a very violent conflict with the wizards of Knockturn Alley, resulting in Mass casualties.
Fortunately, the Aurors appeared in time to control the scene, and the professor confronted them. Still, the confrontation ended due to the decisive intervention of the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Dumbledore.
The specific reasons for this conflict are still unclear. What caused this severe conflict? Was someone behind the Hogwarts professor's crazy behavior?"
-Our reporter, Rita Skeeter, will continue to follow and report to everyone.-
"My God..." Ron's eyes widened in surprise as he read the entire report. "What exactly happened? What happened to cause this large number of casualties?"
"I don't know." Hermione turned around in the dormitory irritably. "Now the whole of Hogwarts is discussing this matter."
"Professor Ethan must be doing this for a reason!" Ron was now a big fan of Ethan and stood in line without hesitation.
"Knockturn Alley is full of dark wizards. They must have done something bad!" Ron was trying hard to defend Ethan.
Hearing this, Harry nodded in approval. When starting school, he strayed into Knockturn Alley while using the Floo, and Knockturn Alley left a considerable psychological shadow on him.
"Of course I know this." Hermione sat down on Ron's bed without looking at her, "I have a feeling that this is not simple." Hermione said seriously.
The Weasley twins and Hermione also thought about it, and they both got "inside information" from somewhere.
A large group of little lions who loved gossip gathered next to them, closely following the two of them, trying to get some news out of their mouths.
"My dad said something big happened in Knockturn Alley!" George and Fred, who had put on the air, finally sat on the sofa and began talking about the inside information they had heard.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who came out of the dormitory, also hurriedly crowded in front of them, waiting for George and Fred to speak.
The news of the Weasley twins was also heard from their father, Arthur. Last night's big event taught the British Ministry of Magic a great lesson, which made them dare not ignore Knockturn Alley as before.
The Ministry of Magic dispatched almost all the armed forces and started a carpet-like search of Knockturn Alley. Many dark wizards who participated in the Church of Mirrors were found out, but more unfortunate ones were other ordinary dark wizards like Knockover Alley.
For example, the Borkin-Burke magic shop was raided three times in one night, and the Ministry of Magic forcibly confiscated countless black magic items. This kind of thing happened in almost every shop in Knockturn Alley.
Azkaban's prison was overcrowded overnight. Except for a few dark wizards confirmed to have participated in the Church of Mirrors, they were imprisoned in separate cells, and almost all the remaining dark wizards were gathered together and locked up in Azkaban's concentration cell.
Of course, the story told by the Weasleys is even more exaggerated. In the story of the Weasleys, Professor Ethan fights 300 evil dark wizards, and the dark wizards tameing a dragon.
In the description of the Weasley twins, Ethan killed in darkness, the sun and the moon were dark, and the blood flowed in the Knockover Alley. In the end, it was the Auror who came to persuade Professor Ethan to put down his sword.
The Gryffindor lion cubs, who heard the incredible story, had glowing eyes, and their admiration for Professor Ethan rose to several levels in their hearts.
Harry and Ron's eyes have long since lost focus, and they are also immersed in the beautiful story told by the Weasley twins. They have even begun to put themselves in the role of Ethan, thinking about killing 300 people with a long sword—highlights of the Dark Wizard.
Only Hermione stared suspiciously at the Weasley twins, who were still spitting and jumping up and down and then looked at the Daily Prophet in her hand with Ethan's photo.
The number of dark wizards lying on the ground didn't look like there were three hundred. Thinking of this, Hermione curled her lips in disdain and slapped Silly Potter and Silly Ron twice, waking them from their daydreams.
Harry and Ron touched the pained shoulders and looked at Hermione with a serious face for no reason. They didn't understand what happened to Hermione.
At Hermione's repeated requests, Harry and Ron reluctantly left the Weasley twins, who were still telling the story and went to the corner of the lounge with Hermione.
"You two are so stupid! Did you believe what George and Fred said?" Hermione gave Harry and Ron an aggressive lesson.
"What's the matter? They said it well." Ron was very dissatisfied with Hermione interrupting him to listen to a beautiful story, and he still needed more. According to Weasley, he picked up a wooden sword and put it on the table. The trick Ethan used in the Twin Tale is waved twice.
Hermione looked at Ron with a mentally handicapped look, then unceremoniously grabbed Ron's wooden sword and shoved the Daily Prophet into his hand.
"Look, it doesn't look like there are three hundred dark wizards in this photo!" Ron frowned, carefully counted the corpses in the photo, and soon discovered the problem.
"What's the matter? At least George and Fred had a wonderful story." Ron was still stubborn.
Hermione glared at Ron viciously, and Ron was too frightened to look at Hermione. Hermione's eyes were like Mrs. Weasley's, which were about to beat him.
Harry kept his mouth shut the whole time. He had suffered a lot in resisting Hermione for a long time. He had already profoundly understood that it was very unwise to oppose Hermione, so Harry wisely did not participate in this fight.
"We can use smarter methods to find out the truth; we go directly to Professor Ethan," Hermione said.
"Go directly? How to say? Ask directly?" Ron opened his mouth in surprise, "We really shouldn't be so involved in Professor Ethan's life!" Ron was still trying to change Hermione's mind.
"If you pay attention to me a little bit, you will be able to find out that I mastered the sign's sign-casting method last night. We can use this reason to find Professor Ethan." Hermione raised her proudly like a swan. Head over.
"That's amazing, Hermione!" "You're amazing!" "You're a genius!" Harry and Ron hurriedly delivered another load of rainbow farts. You finally Hermione amused again.
