Harold knew Rita Skeeter. After all, he had been interviewed by Rita Skeeter before and knew that the woman in front of him was not someone to be trifled with!
So, in response to Rita Skeeter's request, Harold quickly said, "No, no! You shouldn't interview me! You should interview them!"
Harold stretched out his hand and pointed at the wizards who were cheering loudly around him. This action brought even more enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
And Harold continued: "It is they who gave me the strength to not abandon or give up! As long as I have their support, I will never be afraid!"
Rita Skeeter looked at Harold, who was deeply immersed in the play, and resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She pretended to listen carefully to Harold's speech while quietly stroking her chest.
Soon, Harold, who was immersed in the cheers all around, noticed Rita Skeeter's movements and was stunned. Because she was so close, Harold quickly recognized that Rita Skeeter was drawing the pattern of the Deathly Hallows on her chest.
Seeing this, Harold was shocked. He never expected that this famous female reporter was also a member of the Wuka Party? !
Rita Skeeter saw the shock that flashed across Harold's eyes, and realized that Harold had understood what she meant, so she asked again:
"Excuse me, Mr. Harold, how did you defeat the Witch Party?"
The wizards around suddenly became quiet when they heard Rita Skeeter's question. They also wanted to hear Harold's answer to this question.
When Harold heard Rita Skeeter's question, he immediately said righteously:
"No, this is not my own achievement! In fact, this is mainly the credit of our British Ministry of Magic, especially Mr. Thomas Revo, the former head of the Auror Office of the British Ministry of Magic and the current head of the Floo Network Office. I mainly played an assisting role!"
Hearing Harold's answer, Rita Skeeter understood that the influence of the Witch Party had already penetrated into the British Ministry of Magic, and Thomas Revo must have been a member of the Witch Party! Of course, Rita Skeeter had no intention of telling anyone about this matter. After all, she was now considered a non-staff member of the Witch Party.
Thinking of the contents of the note, Rita Skeeter smiled slightly and continued:
"Mr. Harold, you are so modest! Then, I would like to ask you again, what prompted you to rush into Gringotts without hesitation in the beginning? Was it your sense of justice?"
After hearing Rita Skeeter's interview, Harold suddenly showed an embarrassed expression, then smiled frankly and said, "Actually, I didn't think so much at first. When I learned that someone attacked Gringotts, my first reaction was: Oh my God! All my money is stored in Gringotts! No, I must go in and stop them, that is my life savings!"
After hearing Harold's answer, there was a burst of laughter at the scene. The wizards around were not disappointed with Harold's answer. Instead, they felt that Harold's answer was closer to them.
As a result, there was once again prolonged applause and cheers at the scene, but this time, there were some whistles mixed in with the calls.
After waiting for the scene to calm down, Rita Skeeter continued the interview:
"I have another question, Mr. Harlot. After experiencing such a thrilling day, do you have anything to say?"
Just as the wizards around were expecting Harold's answer to this question, surprisingly, following Rita Skeeter's question, Harold suddenly fell silent.
As Harold remained silent, the atmosphere at the scene gradually quieted down. Everyone looked at each other, wondering what had happened to Harold.
There was an uproar at the scene after hearing Harold's answer. The wizards all around started talking about it. As the discussion intensified, it was obvious that many wizards were nodding slowly, indicating that they agreed with Harold's opinion.
After all, what happened today is right here, and no matter how much you emphasize the safety of Gringotts, it seems unconvincing.
Seeing that the discussion around them had almost ended, Rita Skeeter continued to interview Harold:
"Mr. Harold, what do you want to do most now?"
As soon as Rita Skeeter finished speaking, Harold immediately put on a longing smile and answered:
"What I want to do most now is for Hogwarts to start school as soon as possible! After all, I have become the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts! Nothing makes me more excited and eager than teaching students!"
"You know, what's waiting for me in Hogwarts is the future of our wizarding world!"
After hearing Harold's answer, the originally somewhat depressing atmosphere at the scene was once again stirred up, and almost all the wizards present, like Mrs. Weasley, were applauding Harold's answer crazily.
Seeing this scene, even Rita Skeeter couldn't help but sigh that Harold was indeed a genius in creating an atmosphere.
At this moment, Harold suddenly stretched out his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.
Seeing this, although no one knew what Harold wanted to do, everyone still subconsciously obeyed Harold's command, and the atmosphere on the scene gradually quieted down.
Then, Harold suddenly said loudly:
"Thank you for the applause just now. Thank you everyone. I am Harold, the recipient of the Third Class Medal of the Order of Merlin, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Magic League, and the five-time winner of the Most Charming Smile Award from Wizard Weekly!"
"Of course, I'm also a writer and have published many novels that are not worth mentioning! At the same time, I'm now the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! It can be said that I have achieved some insignificant achievements now!"
"But the applause from everyone just now made me realize one thing, that is, without your support, I am nothing!"
After hearing Harold's speech, there was another round of warm applause that lasted for a long time!
Until the applause gradually died down, Harold waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and suddenly, Harold said loudly to the crowd:
"So, in order to repay everyone's love and support for me, I decided to do something within my ability for everyone. I decided that I would open a bank that is safer than Gringotts!"
