Chapter 284 Daily Prophet
After asking several times but still getting no response, Kyle reluctantly put the diary back into the box.
Is it dead?
It's boring, he has something more exciting to tell... um, I haven't said it yet.
His psychological endurance is really poor.
Kyle put the box and the ink bottle back under the bed, and then sorted out the parchment on the table.
After a careful inspection, Kyle found two more errors, and they were all details that could be overlooked if you didn't pay attention.
One of them might be a coincidence, but there were problems with three consecutive places... It was obviously intentional.
Riddle is really not an honest child. It's only been a few days, and he's already thinking about making trouble.
Kyle shook his head and looked through the other contents on the parchment in comparison with the "Magic Symbols Collection".
...
"Kyle, where have you been all day?"
It was getting dark, and Kyle, who had just left the Room of Requirement, had just arrived at the Great Hall when Fred and George ran over and pulled him to sit down at the Gryffindor table.
"I was reading." Kyle said, "What's wrong?"
"Reading... all day?" Fred was a little unbelievable.
"And you didn't even have lunch!" George said, "We waited for you in the Great Hall for two hours at noon.
"I was so engrossed in reading that I forgot." Kyle explained calmly.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
"No wonder you got full marks..." Fred muttered in a low voice, but didn't ask any more questions.
He took out a copy of the Daily Prophet
"I know why Lucius Malfoy is so angry, look at this!"
Looking at the familiar photo of a speeding car on the front page of the Daily Prophet, Kyle was slightly stunned.
"What are you doing with the newspaper from a few days ago?"
"This is today's newspaper, but the same photo is used. "
George pointed to the eye-catching headline above the photo:
"The conspiracy at King's Cross Station, the savior's life hangs on a thread."
It was still Rita Skeeter's article.
But unlike the last time when the whole article condemned Mr. Weasley, in this article, he suddenly turned into a positive character who was thoughtful and planned before doing anything.
Although it was only a short sentence...but this was Rita Skeeter's article, and it was rare to have so many compliments.
Besides that, the rest of the content was not so friendly.
"We learned that on the first day of school at Hogwarts, the entrance to Platform 9 was suddenly closed in advance, resulting in two students being unable to enter the platform.
An insider revealed that one of the two students was actually Harry Potter, who defeated the mysterious man..."
The article described the scene in great detail, as if she was there.
"It takes a very advanced Confusion Charm to close the platform in advance, which even the Aurors may not be able to do easily...
But according to a student's parent, he seemed to have seen a person in a black robe at King's Cross Station...The dress was very similar to the infamous Death Eaters.
The person in charge of guarding the platform at the Ministry of Magic also said that when the entrance was closed, he was clearing the memory of a Muggle family...Because they were attracted by the cry of an owl, they accidentally saw a wizard entering the platform. "
...
Kyle turned around and asked Fred and George, "Were you seen by Muggles?"
The only wizards who entered the platform before the entrance was closed were the Weasley family.
】
"No...right." George was not sure.
"But we didn't hear the cry of an owl when we were at King's Cross Station."
Kyle nodded and continued to read on.
"Is this a coincidence? Or the platform closure is a carefully planned conspiracy, someone wants to kill Harry Potter and avenge the mysterious man.
And that person may be hiding among the parents who send their students to school..."
"We received a letter from home this morning."
Fred's voice was a little happy, "Dad's investigation is over."
"Thanks to you, Kyle." George stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
Kyle shook his head.
In fact, even if he was not there, Dumbledore would not sit idly by and watch Mr. Weasley lose his job, but the time would not be so fast.
"It seems that Lucius Malfoy should have received the news in advance and knew that Mr. Weasley was fine."
Kyle laughed: "No wonder he said yesterday that "Weasley" would not be so lucky forever, not "you"..."
"That's it."
Fred couldn't help laughing: "And more than that, look at this! "
He turned a page of the newspaper, and there was another paragraph on the back.
"The Ministry of Magic member guarding the platform said that he saw a total of six wizards at King's Cross Station, including Lucius Malfoy..."
After seeing this name, Kyle immediately understood what Fred and George meant.
Lucius was originally a "suspected Death Eater". According to Fudge's character, he might have investigated him after knowing this.
"Rita Skeeter... Really amazing."
Fred smacked his lips and said, "We prepared three letters in total, but only sent one."
"The remaining two letters have been thrown away." George spread his hands and said, "She wrote much more details than us."
"Maybe someone else has written to her too."
At this time, Harry on the side said thoughtfully: "Look here... Only people in the school know that I hit the Whomping Willow, but she also knows it."
"Yes, we think so too." George smiled.
Although the development of the matter was a little beyond their expectations, as long as Mr. Weasley can pass the investigation smoothly, it doesn't matter who wrote the letter.
...
In the wizarding world, any topic related to the mysterious man or the Death Eaters will immediately become a hot topic.
Although a day has passed, people in the hall will still sneak a glance at Harry from time to time during dinner.
In the guest of honor seat, Lockhart was also talking about this matter with other professors, saying that he was not at the station at the time, otherwise he would definitely catch the Death Eater.
As for Harry... he didn't care about the eyes of these people.
Mainly because after so long, he has long been accustomed to it... This is still good. It was even more exaggerated when he first entered school last year.
And he has other things in his mind.
To be honest, after seeing today's Daily Prophet, even Harry himself doubted whether this was true.
All this is too coincidental.
He couldn't help but think again of the house elf named Dobby who hijacked his letters and caused him to be warned by the Ministry of Magic during the holidays.
The other party also didn't want him to return to Hogwarts.
Why did it do this? Does the platform incident have anything to do with it? Is there any connection between it and Voldemort... or the Death Eaters?
Harry was puzzled.
