After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling

"Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything. It's just your most skilled job, and you will definitely be able to do it." Yang Mei said slowly, "But I still have to give you some restrictions. I believe you should understand, right?"

Rita Skeeter looked up in horror, then saw a small bug that looked like her Animagus form flying towards her face!

"Sir! I will do whatever you ask me to do. Please don't ruin my face!" Rita Skeeter almost made a sound like she was slaughtering a pig.

"...I'm not going to ruin your face." Yang Mei said helplessly, "Are you only worried about your own face?"

"You're not going to destroy my face?" Rita Skeeter breathed a sigh of relief. "You're going to...Aa ...

The small flying insect flew straight into her forehead and actually drilled into her head!

For a moment, she felt as if her brain was thrown into a frying pan and fried. The pain was so severe that her facial features were dislocated and her lips were bitten into a bloody mess.

It was only a few seconds, but to Rita Skeeter it felt like a lifetime.

"If you have a betrayal in your heart, the bugs in your brain will eat your brains immediately. I believe you don't want to experience that feeling." Yang Mei successfully planted a seed of fear deep in Rita Skeeter's heart.

"I, I will be obedient! I will definitely complete the tasks given by the adults!" Skeeter didn't dare to have any second thoughts. She was really lucky that she had some value that could be used, otherwise she would have died long ago!

"Very good." Yang Mei untied the rope on Rita Skeeter with a wave of her hand.

"First of all, it's the gossip between you and Dumbledore. After all, the photos have been taken. It would be a waste if they are not used." Yang Mei saw Rita Skeeter's face change and said, "I know you don't like it, but the pen is in your hands. Don't you know how to write in your own favor? For the same photos, you can write that Dumbledore abandoned you after having an affair with you, or that he had ill intentions towards you. I remember that you are very good at making up these nonsense. Just give full play to your creativity."

Rita Skeeter breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Okay, now not only her face and life are saved, but her reputation can also be saved.

The essence of this task is to ruin Dumbledore's reputation through public opinion. Judging from what these two people mean, the worse the better.

……

Rita Skeeter was very efficient, and the next day alone, the Daily Prophet was full of reports about Dumbledore.

It starts with Dumbledore's harassment of Rita Skeeter, the chief reporter of the Daily Prophet, and there's photographic evidence of that!

Then he began to dig into Dumbledore's past emotional experiences.

Although he appears to be an old man who has been single for a hundred years, who knows if he is actually having a lot of fun in private?

After digging into the truth and the falsehood, it was too much for one issue of the Daily Prophet to write about. So naturally, this became a serialized exclusive news.

Not surprisingly, Dumbledore's past with the German Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald was revealed.

My goodness, the relationship between these two seems a little ambiguous, right?

I heard that decades ago, Dumbledore and his good friend Grindelwald became enemies for unknown reasons, and the two were about to have a "decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City."

The battle ended very easily and quickly.

Afterwards, someone went to the place where the two of them dueled, but there was no sign of fighting.

Dumbledore kept silent about the duel, only saying that Grindelwald would be imprisoned in Nurmengard and would never be able to come out.

At that time, people thought that Dumbledore was too modest, so he was unwilling to reveal the details of how he defeated Grindelwald.

Now it seems that it is simply difficult to talk about it!

Most likely, he used his years of affection to force Grindelwald to retreat without a fight and imprison himself in Nurmengard.

The power of public opinion is extremely terrifying. Dumbledore, the world's first white wizard, has now become the first person in the magical world to be "exposed online."

Dumbledore knew that it must be Morsus who was playing tricks on him.

Faced with this situation, he thought about it and decided to deal with it calmly.

During this period of time, all matters that require his attention will be left to Professor McGonagall to help him.

In the past, he would leave things to Snape, but Snape now made no secret of the fact that he was a Death Eater.

Dumbledore thought that it was a very simple matter to control Snape. All he needed was two words: "Lily". Why did this trick suddenly not work?

In short, he no longer dared to trust Snape.

If the Slytherin Headmaster and Potions Professor could be dismissed at will, he would have been dismissed by Snape long ago.

……

"Wow, tsk, tsk, tsk, Rita Skeeter is really talented. She has written so much about Dumbledore." Blaise Zabini hardly read the Daily Prophet before, but now he reads every issue just to follow the series of "Two or Three Things About Dumbledore".

Yang Mei looked at him, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind: "How about letting you manage the Daily Prophet?"

"Huh?" Blaise was dumbfounded. "What do you mean by handing over the management of the Daily Prophet to me?"

Before Yang Mei could say anything, Theodore reacted first.

"Your Excellency has bought the Daily Prophet?"

It must be said that he was very sensitive in this regard. After Yang Mei introduced him to Morsus, he became even more sensitive.

Theodore was eager to manage a newspaper.

Yang Mei saw through it and said, "Although I think the Ministry of Magic is more suitable for you, if you prefer the newspaper, that's not impossible."

"? Ministry of Magic?" Theodore was surprised.

Not only him, but others also got a hint of meaning from these words.

The reason why we said that Blaise could be allowed to manage the newspaper was because the newspaper had already been bought by Morsus.

By the same token, the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters are now targeting the Ministry of Magic!

It was inevitable that the people present felt a surge of emotion.

When they graduate from Hogwarts in two years, the wizarding world will have changed completely.

……

In recent days, there have been an unusually large number of large packages being carried to Hogwarts by owls.

The package basically contains everyone's Christmas ball "outfits" - dresses, robes and related accessories.

"The Christmas Ball has been a traditional event since the inception of the Triwizard Tournament. On Christmas Eve, we and our guests spent a leisurely night relaxing in the Great Hall.

As the host, I hope everyone can show their elegance and grace.

A Christmas ball, as the name suggests, requires dancing."

Professor McGonagall did not continue talking here, but left time for everyone to discuss.

Dance party

There are young boys and girls here who are in love. Those who have a partner can take this opportunity to deepen their relationship, and those who don’t have a partner can also use the Christmas ball to find one.

There is just one difficulty: a large number of students cannot dance.

For example, Harry.

"Draco, you know how to dance, right?" Harry looked at Draco pitifully with his emerald puppy eyes.

"Of course. This is a course I have to learn." Draco said naturally, and then he realized that his boyfriend seemed a little worried.

"It's okay, Harry, I can teach you."

Harry couldn't help but give him a shot of prevention: "My limbs are not coordinated, so I may learn slowly."

Draco looked at him with a look that gradually became dangerous: "I will be very strict. If you step on my foot, you will be dead!"

"..."

"Okay, quiet down!" Professor McGonagall felt that she couldn't just let these little wizards talk all the time; they were just like a group of noisy baboons.

"Dancing is a process that allows the body to breathe." Professor McGonagall gestured as she spoke. It was obvious that she loved dancing. "In every girl's body there is a swan sleeping that wants to dance..."

"To be honest, I don't think there's a swan in Eloise Midgen's body, haha!"

Everyone looked at Seamus Finnigan.

That's what he said just now.

The Eloise Midgen he was talking about was a tall and strong girl, who looked much older than Wood.

The girl was obviously hurt by the obvious malice and lowered her head with red eyes.

Professor McGonagall was in a good mood because she was going to teach those little wizards who couldn't dance to dance today.

As a result, my good mood for the whole day was ruined by the students from my own college.

"Well, Mr. Finnigan, I don't think I heard you clearly. What did you say just now? Hmm?"

Seamus Finnigan dared not speak.

"Apologize to Miss Midgen now, immediately, right away! Of course, she has the right not to forgive you, but you don't have the right not to apologize." Professor McGonagall said extremely sternly.

Students are naturally afraid of teachers, and Professor McGonagall is not a teacher like Lockhart who has no authority in front of students.

Finnigan stood up with a red face and bowed ninety degrees to Midgen: "Sorry, Midgen, I said the wrong thing, I'm really sorry!"

Midgan was a kind girl. Although she was still a little sad, and Professor McGonagall had just said that she had the right not to forgive Finnigan, she still didn't want to make things too awkward. They were all Gryffindors, so she shouldn't embarrass him.

"I forgive you," Midgen said.

Professor McGonagall looked at Finnigan with an unrelenting gaze: "Sit down, Mr. Finnigan. I hope you can be more careful with your words and actions in the future. Do you think you are the only one who says things that hurt others? It only makes you look ignorant, arrogant, and uneducated!"

Now it was Finnigan who wanted to cry.

He really hated himself for being so mean.

After resolving this episode, we still have to return to learning to dance.

Professor McGonagall turned her eyes and said, "Mr. Selwyn, how about dancing with me?"

Although a little surprised, Yang Mei still stood up: "It's my honor, professor."

He walked up to Professor McGonagall and made an elegant invitation gesture: "Every gentleman should take the initiative to invite his dance partner. It is a foolish thing to do to remain motionless."

"Yes, Mr. Selwyn is right." Professor McGonagall felt her mood beginning to improve.

After Professor McGonagall placed her hand on Yang Mei's hand as an invitation, Yang Mei straightened her waist which was slightly bent due to the greeting.

Filch turned on the phonograph at the right time and played a dance music.

Yang Mei cooperated with Professor McGonagall to give a perfect teaching demonstration.

It is true that the man on the street is as beautiful as jade and the young man is unparalleled in the world.

The standard black school uniform robe somehow looked particularly elegant and good-looking on him.

Yang Mei's appearance became more and more beautiful as she grew older, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

As a result, he danced again and directly charmed most of the girls and some of the boys present.

Later, Yang Mei heard people discussing him while eating in the restaurant.

"Ah, my Phil's charm is so uncontrollable." Draco sighed artificially, "I think you should be more restrained. It's okay to hinder the confession of love of single guys, but aren't you afraid that the gentleman will be jealous?"

He approached Yang Mei in an unpleasant way, with a mischievous expression on his face.

Yang Mei poked him away with a finger: "Morsus is an adult now, he has to learn to sort out his emotions by himself."

He spoke seriously, but in fact he knew very well that Morsus was a stingy guy with a heart smaller than the eye of a needle!

No, he had to set up a spell in the dormitory to prohibit that guy from entering in the next few days, otherwise that black-hearted guy would definitely use this as an excuse to torment him.

If this kind of interest is moderate, Yang Mei would enjoy it.

But eating too much will really hurt your waist.

"Well, how's your teaching Potter to dance going?" Yang Mei changed the subject.

Draco's expression was bitter. "He is such a useless person. I saw you teaching him the Patronus Charm before. Although he learned it with difficulty at that time, he made rapid progress overall.

But when it comes to dancing, he seems to be born without any talent.

At first he tripped over himself, but later he stopped tripping over himself and started stepping on my feet like crazy. I almost suspected he was doing it on purpose!"

Yang Mei smiled unkindly: "So you gave up teaching him?"

Draco waved his hands. "It's impossible for him to give up. It's just that he always stepped on my feet, so he felt very guilty. So he went to practice with Neville Longbottom who lived in the same dormitory with him. According to him, Longbottom practiced very seriously in the dormitory every night."

"There should be a girl who wants to be invited." Yang Mei guessed reasonably.

……

When we first learned that the Christmas ball was going to be held, almost everyone was excited.

Again, there is no excitement that cannot be suppressed by one paper. If there is, then write two.

Regulus made it clear in class that he didn't care how everyone wanted to party after class, but if anyone was still thinking about finding a dance partner during class, don't blame him for being strict with the amount of homework.

The students immediately became as quiet as a group of quails.

This is not because they are cowardly, but being fined for this is really not cost-effective.
