Chapter 80: Conversation in the Hog's Head Pub



"Don't worry, Wentworth. I don't think anyone in Hogwarts will believe what's written in the newspaper!"

But Wentworth then asked, "What about the people outside Hogwarts? I don't want Principal Dumbledore to be criticized by others because of this matter. After all, no matter what, it was for my safety that Principal Dumbledore accompanied me to touch the key last night!"

Cedric said hurriedly, "Wentworth, the professors have warned us last night. In order not to cause panic among the students, we must keep your incident a secret. You must not tell anyone what happened yesterday!"

Hearing Cedric's words, Wentworth nodded and then said:

"Of course, I know what to say and what not to say. I think I can use other methods to convince Rita Skeeter to rewrite an article and correct the mistakes in this report!"

Immediately, Wentworth took out his quill and writing paper and began to write the letter on the spot.

Seeing this, Cedric asked curiously:

"Wentworth, what are you doing? Writing a letter to Rita Skeeter? I advise you to give up this method. I've heard my father talk about this reporter. She became famous by writing this kind of article. She won't listen to your explanation!"

Wentworth said without turning his head:

"I'm not writing to this kind of person. I'm writing to my family, asking the elders at home to have a good talk with Rita Skeeter!"

At the same time, in Hogsmeade village not far from Hogwarts, Rosier, disguised as Ilona, ​​walked into the Hog's Head Inn with a black veil on her head.

Rozier frowned and looked around the somewhat dirty bar. His eyes swept across the entire place and stopped at a masked man in a remote corner.

Then Rozier walked straight to the dining table in the corner and sat next to the man in the open.

"Abernathy, why did you choose such a shabby and dirty bar? I don't want to stay here for a second!"

Yes, the person who came was Abernethy in disguise. Abernethy took out a wine glass, stood up and asked for a glass of butter beer from the bar, and handed it to Rozier after returning, and said, "Of course it's for concealment! In this bar, covering your face is a very popular thing, so our current outfit will not stand out!"

After hearing Abernathy's explanation, Rozier sighed, then raised the glass of butterbeer and took a sip. Abernathy couldn't wait to ask, "We've read your letter last night. How is Wentworth now?"

Rosier glanced around to make sure no one was looking at him, then he slowly said, "Dumbledore and Wentworth activated the portkey together last night. They returned late at night. Wentworth seemed to be unharmed except for being a little tired."

After hearing Rozier's words, Abernathy breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slowly and said:

"That's good, that's good! Then have you figured out who put the portkey on Wentworth's bed? Also, where did Wentworth and Dumbledore go last night? What happened?"

"How did you..."

Abinetie was about to say something, but after thinking about it, he took back his words and finally said through gritted teeth: "We can't just let this go! Taking action against Wentworth is declaring war on our Witch Party! We haven't taken action for a long time. Do they think we can't lift the wand anymore?"

Just as Abernethy was chattering away angrily, he looked up and found that Rozier's attention did not seem to be on him, but on what was behind him.

Seeing this, Abernathy turned his head curiously, only to see someone behind him holding the latest issue of The Daily Prophet. On the headline of the newspaper, there was a photo of Dumbledore and Wentworth.

Seeing this, Abernathy stood up and walked over, snatching the Daily Prophet from the man's hand.

The man was stunned, then slapped the table with his palm, but just as his palm was about to land on the table, the palm that was originally facing downwards suddenly turned upwards, and then a golden Galleon fell into the man's hand.

The man looked at the gold Galleons in his hand with surprise and immediately put them back in his pocket. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked out of the Hog's Head Inn. Abernathy also returned to his seat with the Daily Prophet in his hand.

Then Rozier and Abernathy got together and carefully read the article signed by Rita Skeeter.

But the two people's focus was different. Abernathy's attention was more focused on the photo, while Rozier's attention was on the article itself.

Abernathy pointed at the photo and whispered to Rosier, "Look at this photo. Behind Dumbledore and Wentworth, a large area of ​​forest has been burned. It is obvious that Dumbledore and his opponent have fought. Although it is obvious that Dumbledore won in the end, the opponent is obviously not an ordinary wizard. Otherwise, with Dumbledore's strength, he would not have caused such a big commotion."

Rozier pointed to the last paragraph of the article and said to Abernathy in a somewhat indignant tone:

"Although I like the fact that this article questions Dumbledore, she shouldn't use Wentworth to question Dumbledore! Wentworth will take over the Wizarding Party in the future! I don't want others to say that the leader of the Wizarding Party had a story with Dumbledore!"

Afterwards, the two discussed for a long time. Abernethy even planned to sneak into the British Ministry of Magic to find the surviving wizard and see if he could find any clues about the person behind the scenes from him, but he was stopped by Rosier.

"I'd better find a way to get some information from Wentworth. At worst, I can reveal my identity and ask him to tell me what happened last night!"

In the end, it was Rozier who made the final decision and asked Abernathy to go back and tell everyone to be prepared, because no one could provoke the Witch Party without paying the price!

However, just as the two walked out of the Hog's Head Inn and were about to separate, an owl suddenly landed in front of them from the sky and brought them a letter!
