A Genius in a Second to Remember If You Want To Go? The Internet provides you with wonderful novels to read.
As Christmas approached, the atmosphere in the castle became more and more festive.
Perhaps it was because the Sirius Black incident had been perfectly resolved, or perhaps it was because the Dementors stationed outside the castle had finally left, but this year, the atmosphere in Hogwarts was particularly strong. Everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.
In the auditorium, Hagrid had specially selected twelve huge Christmas trees. Professor Flitwick had used magic to hang small candles and sparkling stars on them.
The stars twinkled and changed between silver and gold from time to time, looking particularly spectacular.
In other parts of the castle, the usual magnificent Christmas decorations were all done. Thick ribbons made of holly and mistletoe were hung along the corridors. Mysterious lights shone from inside every suit of armor, and the air was filled with a strong and tempting smell of cooking.
It was a pity that Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione could not see it for themselves.
Madam Pomfrey insisted that the three of them not leave. They stayed in the ward and listened to the people who came to see them talk about the great changes in the castle.
Apart from Snape, everyone else who stayed in Hogwarts for the holidays came to see them. Lupin and Hagrid came almost every day.
Even Mr. and Lady Weasley came, bringing the latest news about Ron. Ron's recovery was very smooth. After the Christmas holidays, he could return to Hogwarts.
The only regret was that he had not seen Sirius Black.
But news about him never stopped. In fact, the outside world was almost in chaos.
At the beginning of the Christmas holidays, people were still blaming the Ministry of Magic for not doing anything about Sirius Black and the werewolf incident. They also accused Dumbledore of hiring a werewolf as a school professor. The howling letters from the parents of Slytherin's students flew to Hogwarts, echoing loudly everywhere in the castle.
On the third day of the holidays, the situation began to change.
It was still an endless stream of owls. This time, there were no howling letters, but letters from readers. The owls flew into the ward one after another and landed on Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione. The entire ward was almost filled with letters.
Madam Pomfrey had to use a banishing spell to stop the owl from flying in.
The main reason for this was a statement from the Ministry of Magic. Not long after leaving the school hospital, Foggy released this short statement to the public.
From the statement, people knew that the Ministry of Magic had finally captured Sirius Black.
However, the result was completely different from what they had imagined. Blake was actually innocent, and the culprit was a guy named Peter the Dwarf.
This news was like a boulder being thrown into the calm water. It instantly ignited the entire magic world, and everyone's interest was aroused.
The identity of Peter the Dwarf, the truth of the incident, and the capture of Hogwarts became the hottest topics of the day. The whole magic world was talking about it.
After a brief moment of shock, people began to investigate the details of the incident.
However, the Ministry of Magic's statement was too brief. Even the omniscient Daily Prophet didn't have any news on it.
This huge event that shocked everyone happened so abruptly.
Peter the Dwarf had successfully replaced Blake and become the most evil Dark Wizard under the Lord Voldemort. However, people were surprised to find that no one knew exactly what he had done, what conspiracy he had planned, or how he had been caught in the end.
These were all mysteries. In just a few hours after the Ministry of Magic's statement was released, the magic world was full of rumors and gossip.
The names of Lord Voldemort, Sirius Black, Peter the Dwarf, Harry Potter, Elwyn Mason, and a few others became hot topics. As long as one walked around Diagon Alley, one could hear everyone talking about this matter.
Some said that it had something to do with the truth of Lord Voldemort's failure. Others said that they saw Lucius Malfoy walk out of Foggy's office with a pale face.
After a brief moment of silence, there was a strong explosion.
Just when the wizards could not wait any longer and were about to gather and demand the Ministry of Magic to reveal the truth of the incident, the latest issue of Hogwarts Magic Newspaper was released.
The wizards who had subscribed to the newspaper were delighted to find that this little-known school tabloid had detailed reports on the hottest topics in the magic world.
Moreover, they were all firsthand news!
The entire incident, the unknown truth between Sirius Black and Peter the Dwarf, the little wizard Elwyn Mason who had personally captured Peter the Dwarf, and the arrest process written by the little wizard Elwyn Mason, were all exclusive reports.
From one to ten, ten to a hundred, a hundred to a thousand, the sales of Hogwarts Magic Newspaper soared. Orders flew in like snowflakes. People could not wait to know the truth. Although Elwyn and Lupin had made ample preparations, they still printed more than 10,000 copies in the end.
With this news and follow-up reports, the circulation of Hogwarts Magic Newspaper surpassed that of the Daily Prophet and became the best-selling newspaper in the magic world.
Under such circumstances, the anxious chief editor of the Daily Prophet, Mr. Guffey, wrote dozens of letters to Elwyn in a row, requesting to buy the rights to reprint these reports.
Seeing that they had a pleasant working experience in the past, as well as the fact that the other party had given a considerable amount of gold coins, Elwyn agreed to let the Daily Prophet reprint these reports.
However, in terms of time, it was one day later than that of Hogwarts Magic Newspaper.
One day might seem short, but it was more than enough.
There were too many things to report about Sirius Black and Peter the Dwarf, and Elwyn did not publish everything at once. For the wizards who could not wait to know what had happened, they did not even want to wait for a second.
The sales of Hogwarts Magic Newspaper increased. The wizards who bought the newspaper found that other than the content related to Sirius Black and Peter the Dwarf, the other articles in the newspaper were also very attractive. The viewpoints were very unique, and almost all of them were exclusive reports.
The news that Hogwarts Magic Newspaper hired a ghost as a special reporter was spread by someone, and people became more and more interested in this newspaper.
Now, in the whole British magic world, especially in the London area, as the influence of Hogwarts Magic Newspaper continued to grow, the newspaper's increase in sales gradually stabilized. It was already able to compete with the Daily Prophet, and gradually became one of the mainstream newspapers.
In other European countries and remote areas, the Daily Prophet continued to spread the truth of the incident with its advantage of channels.
Under the attack of Elwyn's public opinion, Sirius Black was no longer a fugitive, but a well-deserved hero, although Wisengamo had not made a final judgment.
Blake became the most famous war hero after the Second War of the Wizards.
In order to stick to his beliefs and fight against the most evil dark forces, he stayed in Azkaban for a whole 12 years. In order to protect his friendship and his friend's only orphan, he was willing to bear the incomprehensible gaze of the world and hunt down the evil dark wizards alone.
These deeds of Blake were sung by everyone and spread at an extremely fast speed.
