Chapter 547: Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award
Chapter 547 "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award
Sirius was still chattering about his experiences in school, but Kyle was not interested at all, and he didn't think Ms. Rosmerta from the Three Broomsticks would be interested in Sirius, who was still in his first year.
Fortunately, at this time, Ludo Bagman's magically amplified voice suddenly sounded in their ears, interrupting Sirius's words and making the audience in the stands quiet down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally made a decision. Merkus, the mermaid leader, told us everything that happened under the lake. Now, we start to rate the warriors."
Everyone listened attentively.
First of all, it was Fleur. Because she did not complete the final project and quit midway, her results could only be counted as two hours later, and she only received a guaranteed minimum of 25 points.
Although Krum was the last one to come out of the Forbidden Forest, he completed all the projects without making any mistakes, so he received forty points.
There is also Kyle, with 49 points. He brought out Gabrielle, which was technically a violation of the rules, so he was deducted one point.
However, this time the scoring is directly based on the overall score, and it is not clear who deducted this point.
But this has no impact on Kyle. He is still first in the score and is far ahead.
The crowd applauded again,
“The third and final project will be carried out on the evening of June 30th.” Bagman continued: “The warriors will know the content of the project one month in advance. I can guarantee that it will be exciting by then.”
…
After the second project, everyone returned to the castle to prepare for lunch.
The wind blew all morning by the Black Lake, and they were already hungry.
The house elves also made preparations early. As soon as the students came to the auditorium to prepare, a sumptuous lunch appeared on the empty plates.
Perhaps she was frightened, so Fleur stopped complaining about being greasy. She picked up a piece of pork chop and started eating it... However, she still didn't talk to Kyle, and she didn't know if it was intentional. She also pulled Kangna and sat down next to her. Kyle is far away.
However, this also left two seats vacant next to Kyle, and two students who reacted quickly enough sat down immediately.
Everyone wants to know what happened at the bottom of the lake.
So while Tai was eating, Kyle gave a rough description of everything that happened at the bottom of the lake, including Grindylow emerging from the shadows and the discovery of the equestrian monster.
Although Kyle deliberately omitted part of it, everyone still screamed in surprise.
Especially when they heard the part about the mermaids attacking the water monster, everyone was very interested and listened attentively. Mikel didn't even notice that he was trying to stuff potatoes into his nostrils.
But speaking of the Equestria…
In order to protect it from being attacked by mermaids, just after the second project was over and everyone was busy walking to the castle, Kyle found an excuse to go back to the Black Lake and help it find a safe place. .
Hmm, it’s quite safe, it doesn’t even have neighbors.
…
After entering March, the weather became slightly clearer, but the cold wind outside still hurt their hands and faces.
The owls flew hard in the sky, delivering letters and packages to the castle on time.
Kyle had just walked into the Charms classroom that day when he saw several Ravenclaw girls gathered together, discussing something excitedly.
They burst into laughter when they noticed Kyle coming in.
“What’s wrong?” Kyle was a little confused.
"Well...you'd better read it yourself." Qiu suppressed a smile and handed over a magazine. "Look carefully, there is a surprise inside."
"Surprise?" Kyle walked to an empty seat and sat down. Before Professor Flitwick came, he opened the magazine in his hand.
Witcher Weekly.
Different from The Quibbler, which is not popular, this is the most popular wizarding magazine, with the number of subscribers second only to the Daily Prophet.
Finally, Kyle found what he was looking for in the middle of the magazine when he was halfway through the page.
is an article.
【Hogwarts Warrior, Fifteen-Year-Old Genius】
"He may not be as different as Harry Potter, but his achievements are far more than that of the savior." Rita Skeeter reported that when he first entered school, he showed unprecedented magical talent and became the first person to do so. Force held back the notorious dark wizard Oren and rescued a first-year student from him.
Because of this incident, he received the Hogwarts' Special Contribution Award to the school for the first time (although I personally think this is enough to receive the Order of Merlin, if the Ministry of Magic's thugs did not let the dark wizard run away at that time) .
“Of course, he does not lack this, because in the second year, he already received the Order of Merlin...”
This article was written for two pages, and almost all the honors Kyle had achieved before were mentioned in detail.
Because even Kyle himself didn’t know, he just didn’t want to go on stage to perform in a stage play, so he just asked Gilderoy Lockhart a question in class, and how it became the key evidence to expose the other party’s identity as a liar.
This has also been extended to a strange height...maintaining fairness and justice in the magical world and ensuring the rights that wizards deserve.
Also last year on the train, he once visited the carriage where Lupin was, and in the article it became an important step for the harmonious coexistence of wizards and werewolves.
Good guy, if what is written in the magazine is true, Kyle feels that at worst he can get a first-class Order of Merlin, and he can replace Fudge as the new Minister of Magic tomorrow.
“Oh, so you are so powerful...”
Kangna's voice came from behind, "This photo is not bad either. It happens to be the moment you came out of the lake riding a horse-shaped water monster. I haven't seen it before."
With a snap, Kyle closed the magazine forcefully.
“Nothing.” He rubbed his arms.
It is indeed nice to be praised by others, but to be praised like this is a bit exaggerated.
“You know, Rita Skeeter just likes to scribble.”
“No way.” Kang Na said with a smile, “After all, you have done these before, and she was right.”
"But I don't think I have made such a big contribution to the wizarding world..." Kyle shrugged, "And I don't think Dumbledore and Fudge should give up their positions to me.
“Honestly, it’s hard for me to imagine how busy a person who is both the Minister for Magic and the Headmaster of Hogwarts must be.
Isn’t it good to be a student? At least you can save your hair. "
Kanna couldn't help laughing, her eyes curled into crescents.
“So, you just don’t want to keep yourself busy and have no objection to her sending this photo to the Wizarding Weekly Most Charming Smile Award?”
“What award?” Kyle frowned and quickly opened the magazine again.
Sure enough, at the end of the article, Rita Skeeter did write this, and he was indeed smiling in the photo... As the first warrior to complete the project, this is normal.
Had he known that things would develop in this direction, he would have grimaced at anything at that time.
"The most charming smile award." Kangna continued: "Will it be printed on the cover? If so, I will definitely collect that issue of the magazine..."
"Me too." Qiu said with a smile, "Buy two books, read one and collect it."
"If that's the case... Rita Skeeter is dead. I will definitely send her photo to the Ministry of Magic." Kyle said solemnly.
“Whose picture, Rita Skeeter?” Qiu was a little confused.
“Well, that’s evidence that she violated the Wizarding Law and was photographed by us.” Connor said in a low voice,
"That's it." Qiu nodded suddenly after hearing this. "No wonder she went out of her way to praise Kyle. Before this, I have never seen her write such an article that was all about praising others."
“I would rather not receive this kind of compliment.” Kyle rubbed his forehead.
After what happened with Lockhart, the "Wizard Weekly" most charming smile award has become synonymous with jokes in Hogwarts... at least for students who have experienced that school year, that is, students above the third year. .
Kyle was sure that if Rita Skeeter had succeeded, Fred and George would have been so excited that they would have set off fireworks to celebrate their new graduation joke.
No...this situation must not happen.
Kyle was a little worried, and he took out the parchment and quill, preparing to write a letter to Rita Skeeter, asking her to give up this decision as soon as possible.
