Admiral of Hogwarts

Reputation was allowed because she also represented the Ministry of Magic in the Western Balkans. So I can enter here as an official reporter from the foreign Ministry of Magic.

However, in addition to his status, the Western Balkans Ministry of Magic's recent big deals with the British Ministry of Magic also played a big role, allowing Fudge to sign an interview permit specifically for prestige.

When Sheng Sheng walked into the classroom, he found that it was a smaller classroom. Most of the desks had been pushed to the back of the classroom, leaving a large open space in the middle.

But there were three desks facing each other, placed in front of the blackboard, covered with a long piece of velvet.

Behind the velvet-covered desk, there were five chairs, and on one of them sat Ludo Bagman, who was chatting with a witch whose reputation seemed familiar.

The witch was wearing a magenta robe, her hair was styled into delicate, stiff, weird curls, her fat fingers were holding a crocodile leather handbag, and her nails were two inches long and were painted bright red.

Obviously, this kind of dress can be said to be unique in the magical world, and the special makeup makes people recognize her as soon as they enter the door.

Rita Skeeter, a journalist who specializes in making things up. She can weave countless pieces of dirty information out of your ordinary words, and the automatic quill pen in her hand is even better at making things up.

Because the monotonous life in the wizarding world is too monotonous, countless people are looking forward to this reporter sharing the new stories he has just made up with them.

After seeing everyone arrive, Bagman began to announce what everyone was going to do now.

"We must check whether your wands are fully functional and perform well, because in future competitions, your wands will be your most important equipment." He said.

"The expert is upstairs with Dumbledore. Then some pictures. This is Rita Skeeter," he said, pointing to the witch in the magenta robe. Daily Prophet writes a short article about the Contest..."

Small article? Regardless of the reputation present, Veneto or Hugo, who was connected to the Admiral's network, all felt that Bagman was a little too optimistic. The person in front of me can write a best-selling novel with hundreds of thousands of words containing various attractive elements in one sentence.

To be honest, having this kind of talent and not imitating Lockhart as a best-selling novel writer but insisting on becoming a reporter only shows that Rita Skeeter is indeed a person who loves this industry. Of course, the method of love may be different from that of normal people. Too same.

Sure enough, Rita Skeeter found Harry who still didn't know what happened, and then pulled him into the broom room next to him for a one-on-one interview.

After Rita Tusket pulled Harry to close the door, Reputation shrugged, then took out the interview equipment and started interviewing the other three contestants.

Of course, the goal is to build a reputation as an authoritative media outlet by not asking standard paparazzi-style questions like Rita Skeeter's, nor by making up interviews.

So after a short interview with Veneto's cooperation, Fleur and Krum also successfully completed the following interviews accompanied by their respective principals.

"Okay, the interview is over now, everyone, please sit down first." After seeing the reputation and completing the interview, Ludo Bagman said to everyone, at this time. Dumbledore came down the stairs.

"Where's Harry?" Dumbledore, who came down from upstairs, glanced at the room and then asked Veneto.

"I was dragged into the interview by that female reporter." Veneto replied, pointing to the door of the broom closet.

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore immediately took two steps forward and yanked open the broom closet door, then looked down at Rita Skeeter and Harry.

"Dumbledore!" Rita Skeeter immediately responded, and then said loudly, with a look of joy——

"How are you?" she said, standing up and holding out a large, manly hand to Dumbledore. "Have you read my summer article about the International Federation of Wizards Conference?"

"It's wonderful," said Dumbledore, his eyes sparkling. "I especially loved reading the part where you describe me as a rigid old madman."

"Professor Dumbledore, you are indeed a playful person." Hugo, who saw this scene through the Admiral Network, glanced out the window and thought silently.

However, Dumbledore's counterattack was of no use to a particularly thick-skinned person like Rita Skeeter. She said very naturally: "I just want to explain that some of your views are a bit outdated, Dumbledore. There are many people out there. wizard--"

"I would love to hear your frank reasoning, Rita," said Dumbledore with a slight smile and a polite bow.

"But I'm afraid we will have to discuss this issue later. The wand testing ceremony is about to begin. If we continue to delay, the ceremony will not be able to proceed."

Harry looked tired of the reporter and quickly took the opportunity to sit in the chair next to Veneto.

After that comes the wand inspection. Each warrior will undergo a precise inspection after handing over the wand. Mr. Ollivander will then describe its current general condition and functions, and declare it to be in good condition and completely acceptable. The next test.

During this inspection, Mr. Ollivander intentionally or unintentionally highlighted the advantages of his work and expressed some opinions on the wands made by other craftsmen.

Naturally, in these comments, Ollivander pointed out the differences between himself and other wandmakers. Of course, in this comparison, there is naturally a little bit of bragging.

But to be fair, the three major wand-making masters in Europe are all of the same level, but each has their own focus.

Unlike Ollivander, who advocated the theory that people choose wands, Grigovitch would allow customers to choose or even bring some of their own materials for making wands, and was a firm supporter of the idea that people choose wands.

Judging from a large number of practical examples, except for a very small number of wands that are extremely unsuitable for wizards, most wands can meet the needs of the user after long-term use and some fine-tuning.

However, this is only the difference between different schools of mass-produced wand masters. For some pure-blood wizards with money and inheritance, it is most common to ask a wand-making master to come to their home for custom-made wands.

This is why Miss Delacour's wand was rated higher by Ollivander than Krum just now, because the level of wand makers who can be invited by purebloods is not low.

After the wand inspection was over, it was the photographer who came with Rita Skeeter and took the photo. After all, the photo would be on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow.

It took a lot of time to take a group photo because Madame Maxime was too tall and the room was too small. So after adjusting for a long time, she finally had to sit there and take pictures with everyone.

At the same time, the photographer always wanted to put Fleur in the front, but Rita had a soft spot for Harry and always ran to pull Harry to the C position again and again.

The solo photo after the group photo also consumes a lot of time, especially the time spent on Harry is three times as long as that of other people. So in the end the people in the room finished these things and left the room very late.
