While Elwyn was observing Rita Skeeter, she was also scrutinizing him.
"Come, let me introduce you. This is the famous reporter, Rita Skeeter. She has written many articles," Bagman said loudly. "Rita, this is Elwyn Mason. You should have heard of him. He is currently the most famous."
"Of course I have, Ludo. Who hasn't heard of Elwyn Mason?!" Rita Skeeter said, staring at Elwyn. "Hello, Elwyn. Can I have a few words with you? I want to hear your opinion on the hegemony tournament."
"I think it's best not to!" Elwyn shook his head and said nothing else.
This woman was famous for distorting the truth and making things up. He did not intend to give her a chance.
However, Elwyn had obviously underestimated the thickness of Rita Skeeter's skin. Seeing Elwyn shake his head, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
It could be clearly seen that she had three gold teeth in her mouth.
She reached into her alligator leather handbag and took out a long, dazzling green quill and a roll of parchment.
Then, she spread the parchment on the velvet-covered desk.
She put the tip of the green quill in her mouth and sucked on it with relish for a while.
Rita Skeeter placed the quill vertically on the parchment. The quill was upright on the tip, trembling slightly.
"This is a shorthand quill. This way, I can free my hands and talk to you normally. Let me test it out!" Skeeter said. "I am Rita Skeeter, a reporter from the Daily Prophet!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the green quill began to write in a flourish. The tip of the pen glided nimbly across the parchment.
It read: RITA SKEETER, THE CHARMING BLONDE, FORTY-THREE YEARS OF AGE, WHOSE REBELLIOUS QUILL HAS EXPOSED MANY A GAUDY REPUTATION
"That's great!" Rita Skeeter said as she tore off the first piece of parchment, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into her handbag.
She turned around as if preparing to ask Elwyn a question.
Elwyn ignored her. He had clearly rejected her earlier. He pulled Corin towards Hibiscus Chinensis and Gabriel.
"Elwyn, why didn't you sign up for the Top Three Tournament?" Rita Skeeter asked.
As for Elwyn's reaction, it was as if he didn't see it.
Why didn't Elwyn attend the competition?!
Everyone knew that it was because he was not old enough and he had no interest in the tournament.
Rita Skeeter repeated. Corin quietly tugged at Elwyn.
"I just said that I don't intend to accept your interview!" Elwyn said coldly as he turned around to look at the other party.
Hearing his words, the atmosphere in the classroom became extremely awkward.
Elwyn didn't say anything else. Rita Skeeter looked at him with a smile, looking a little arrogant. Ludo Bargmann, Corin, Hibiscus Chinensis, and Gabriel were all staring at the two of them.
After a while, as if she was sure that Elwyn wouldn't answer, Rita Skeeter didn't feel embarrassed at all.
"My dear, you're not willing to accept my interview. Is it because you haven't become a warrior yourself?" Rita Skeeter said, her eyes still fixed on Elwyn. "Do you think that you've been treated unfairly? Everyone knows that you're very strong in magic. Are the four warriors chosen for this tournament not as strong as you?!"
Elwyn frowned. Although he didn't say anything, he saw Rita Skeeter's green quill move again.
From the place where the tip of the quill glided, he could see that Elwyn Mason's handsome and charming eyes shone with determination and tenacity when she mentioned the shady dealings in the tournament and his unfair treatment. However, he could still see that he was forcibly holding back his tears.
Elwyn was sure that he wasn't crying, and his eyes weren't shining with determination and tenacity.
From Rita Skeeter's words, it seemed that if he didn't answer, it would be a tacit admission that there was a shady dealings in this tournament.
If he defended himself, it would naturally give the other party more opportunities to spread rumors.
This was really despicable. This was the first time that Elwyn was forced to do an interview.
If he could, he really wanted to take out his magic wand and teach her a lesson.
However, he obviously couldn't do that. Elwyn wasn't some evil Dark Warlock who would use the Curse of Massacre on people.
Right now, the wisest choice was to not continue talking about this topic.
"Ms. Skeeter, my identity today is the same as yours. I'm a reporter here to interview the warriors. Therefore, I don't want my name to appear in the special report of this tournament. " Elwyn said loudly, "Please cross out the unfounded speculation you just wrote, or I'll have to take necessary action. I can guarantee that you'll definitely regret it! "
After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath. Without looking at Rita Skeeter's expression or the words she had written on the paper, he pulled Corin and walked straight to Hibiscus Chinensis and Gabri.
Elwyn didn't expect his threat to scare her. This woman wasn't afraid of anything and dared to say anything.
Even if Foggy and Dumbledore were here, she wouldn't be scared.
As long as there was a profit to be made, she would continue to fabricate facts.
If she continued like this, it would indeed be troublesome.
Fortunately, Elwyn knew that she was an illegal Animagus.
He definitely couldn't say it directly. She wouldn't admit it, and it would instead alert the enemy.
Now, Elwyn could only wait for an opportunity to capture Rita Skeeter, who had snuck into the Hogwarts to spy on information.
Rita Skeeter seemed to be frightened by Elwyn's reaction just now. The quill stopped and she didn't continue writing. Bugman hurried forward to smooth things over.
"Good job, Elwyn!" Gabri said to Elwyn, who had just walked up to her. "That woman is so annoying!"
"She's very rude. When the Ministry of Magic official introduced us, she didn't even shake my hand!" Hibiscus Chinensis followed in a low voice. "We were just talking about this, and you helped me vent my anger."
Obviously, Rita Skeeter wasn't interested in an unknown wizard from France like Hibiscus Chinensis.
What she needed was big news that could attract the public's attention, the kind that could cause a sensation.
Since Hibiscus Chinensis didn't meet this condition, Rita Skeeter naturally wouldn't pay attention to her. She didn't even have basic etiquette.
"The Daily Prophet won't interview you, so are you willing to accept an interview with the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper?" Elwyn asked.
He had discussed it with Hermione in the morning. This report would mainly revolve around the four warriors, introducing their basic information and comparative analysis of their magic power, so that wizards outside of the Hogwarts could also understand the corresponding content in time.
This matter itself was a big gimmick, and many people wanted to know about the warriors.
