So, Rita Skeeter quickly said, "Sir, if this little wizard is just an ordinary little wizard in Hogwarts, then there is naturally no topic and it cannot attract the readers' attention. However, if this little wizard is given a powerful or mysterious background, it will be different!"

"From the looks of it, this little... adult named Wentworth must be a rare talent with an extraordinary background, right? I just don't know which family he belongs to?"

"If he is the heir of a wizarding family with a long history, then this article will be very interesting! Moreover, it can give people the illusion that Dumbledore will take extra care of young wizards from large families! In this way, the Ministry of Magic will surely be happy to see this report!"

At this moment, Rita Skeeter, a reporter, became more and more excited. Besides fear, she also realized that she seemed to have accidentally discovered a big news! This filled her with excitement.

After hearing what Rita Skeeter said, Abernathy fell silent for a moment.

Abernathy, Rosier and others had discussed Wentworth's background not long ago, and everyone finally felt that Wentworth's identity as the heir of the Grindelwald family should not be exposed so quickly.

The first is that Wentworth is in Hogwarts at this time. Except for Rosier, he is too far away from everyone else, and no one can protect Wentworth all the time.

Moreover, before Wentworth's identity was made public, some people were already trying to take action against him. Once Wentworth's identity was made public, there would definitely be more people trying to take action against him!

After all, for the former enemies of the UMNO, getting rid of an 11-year-old future leader of the UMNO is definitely much easier than getting rid of the entire UMNO party.

Therefore, Wentworth's identity must not be known to too many people at this moment.

Thinking of this, there was already a hint of murderous intent in Abernathy's eyes as he looked at Rita Skeeter.

If he was determined to keep Wentworth's identity secret, then the reporter in front of him must not let him live.

And Rita Skeeter was the first to read Abernathy's murderous intent from his eyes. After all, Abernathy did not try to hide his murderous intent.

It was even as if Rita Skeeter had heard the footsteps of death stopping at the door of her home.

In extremely stressful situations, some people's minds go blank, while others' minds work very fast. Rita Skeeter is not one of the latter.

Seeing the atmosphere at the scene becoming increasingly cold, and the other party's eyes looking at her with murderous intent, Rita Skeeter's brain was working rapidly. Suddenly, Rita Skeeter's face lit up with joy, and a plan came to her mind. She quickly said, "Sir! After reading this press release in your hand, I guess you want to build momentum for this little wizard from Hogwarts, right?"

Seeing the sudden joy on Rita Skeeter's face and hearing what she said, Abernathy nodded in surprise.

Seeing that she had guessed correctly, Rita Skeeter's face became even more joyful, and she quickly said flatteringly:

"Sir, you are so foresighted. You should become famous as early as possible! Please leave this matter to me! I am a professional in this kind of thing!"

Seeing Rita Skeeter suddenly become confident, Abernathy also asked curiously: "So, what do you want to do?"

When talking about her major, Rita Skeeter immediately became excited and said: "Sir, there are skills to creating hype! No one will read just reporting about this freshman in the newspaper, saying how good and outstanding he is! Even if someone reads it, they will forget it the moment they turn around!"

"If you want to create momentum, you have to make him full of heat, and there are many ways to create heat, such as gossip..."

Just when he said this, Abernathy waved his hand and refused: "This method won't work! Try another one!"

Rita Skeeter was not surprised to hear Abernathy's direct refusal. She continued, "For example, it can cause controversy!"

Seeing that Abernathy was interested, Rita Skeeter breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the footsteps of death seemed to be farther away from her.

Rita Skeeter even subconsciously picked up the red wine beside her and took a sip before continuing, "Sir, we can do this! We can find another newspaper and publish a new news report to refute the article I published in the Daily Prophet!"

"Just say that what Dumbledore did that night was to protect the best student in Hogwarts' history! Then write in detail about how outstanding that little wizard is! In short, just exaggerate as much as possible!"

"After that, I will continue to publish articles in the Daily Prophet to counter it! After a few rounds of back and forth, this topic will be hyped up! It will also be popular! Naturally, the little wizard's fame will also increase."

“This is building momentum!”

When she finished the last sentence, Rita Skeeter's tone was full of confidence, and Abernathy and Auston Greengrass, who had been listening, also had an expression of sudden enlightenment. Seeing this, Rita Skeeter's face was full of smiles again.

After listening to Rita Skeeter's story, Abernethy felt a little conflicted. Although the effect of doing so might be better than what Rozier analyzed, Abernethy always felt that something was wrong.

After a moment's silence, Abernathy said, "We need to go back and discuss this matter again!"

"Okay, take care!"

Rita Skeeter quickly stood up and said that she wished Abernethy and the others would leave immediately. As long as they left, she would move out immediately! But Abernethy seemed to see through Rita Skeeter's thoughts, smiled slightly, and then suddenly waved his wand at Rita Skeeter.

"What did you do to me?"

Rita Skeeter watched in horror as a spell fell upon her, and although she felt nothing, she was still filled with fear.

Abernathy said calmly:

"Nothing, it just prevents you from performing the Animagus transformation for a short period of time."

In an instant, Rita Skeeter's face turned pale, and the confidence that had just been ignited disappeared in an instant.

"Which newspaper do you think is suitable for us to find?"

Abernathy asked casually before leaving.

"…The Quibbler!"

Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year! 　　I wish all my readers a year of plenty of money, few worries, a cold winter and long-lasting stars!

I also wish all of your families good health and prosperity in 2022!
