"Of course my sister is willing!" Gabri said excitedly.
"Alright, I'll accept your interview. We can go out and have a chat. That woman makes me feel very uncomfortable." Furong nodded and said.
Elwyn, Hibiscus Chinensis, Corin, and Gabri left the classroom, ignoring Rita Skeeter who was behind them.
They did not go far, but went to the Muggle Research classroom at the corner.
This classroom was much bigger than the previous one, but it was also very quiet. There was not a single person inside.
Inside the classroom, all the tables and chairs were arranged exactly like the ones in the Muggle school. They were all specially made.
There was not a single mural on the wall. Instead, there were many colorful pictures of the characters and scenery of the Muggle school.
At the back of the classroom was a huge bookshelf, densely packed with all kinds of Muggle books.
Elwyn knew that there was actually a secret passage behind the bookshelf, which could lead to the bathroom on the sixth floor.
The way to enter the secret passage was to put a few gold-plated books together in alphabetical order.
This classroom was very suitable for talking and interviews. Other than classes, no one would usually come here.
Although Elwyn was already very familiar with Hibiscus Chinensis and Gabri, he followed his outline and asked a lot of detailed questions.
Corin was in charge of taking photos of Hibiscus Chinensis. They needed close-up photos of the warriors to be published in the newspaper.
It had to be said that as long as Hibiscus Chinensis was willing, she could get along very well with everyone.
Perhaps because everyone was more familiar with each other, she did not mention the cold and dark decorations of the Hogwarts, or the overly tasty food. Instead, she was very cooperative, and occasionally joked with Elwyn and Corin.
About ten minutes later, the classroom door opened. Dumbledore was standing outside.
"Obviously, you are here. I have to interrupt the four of you. The wand testing ceremony is about to begin. Miss Draco must go!" Dumbledore said gently.
"No problem, Professor. We're done here too!"
The few of them filed out. Elwyn packed his things and walked at the back with Gabriel.
"My sister just told me that you're the first person to use this method to find out information about a girl!" She grinned at Elwyn, her eyes curved into cute crescent moons. "She wants me to be on guard against you!"
Elwyn was speechless. It turned out that the two sisters had been talking about this in French.
Also, what did he mean by raising his guard?!
Although the questions he asked were a little more detailed, they were all necessary for the report.
Dumbledore did not return to the small classroom. Instead, he stopped in front of a broom closet.
Just as everyone was wondering what he was going to do, Dumbledore opened the door and walked in.
Rita Skeeter and Harry were inside. Harry looked a little emotional.
It seemed that while Elwyn and the others were away, Harry, Ron, and Hermione also came over.
Not surprisingly, Rita Skeeter interviewed Harry again, even though he was not a warrior.
"Dumbledore!" Rita Skeeter said loudly, looking overjoyed.
She put the quill and parchment into her crocodile skin handbag as fast as she could and fastened the buckles.
"How are you?" As she spoke, she stepped out of the broom closet and held out a large, manly hand to Dumbledore. "Did you read my article on the International Union of Wizards conference last summer?"
"It was great!" Dumbledore said, his eyes shining. "I especially liked the part where you described me as a rigid old lunatic."
Rita Skeeter did not show the slightest bit of embarrassment and continued, "I just wanted to say that some of your views are a little outdated, Dumbledore, there are many wizards out there …"
"I'd love to hear your frank reasoning, Rita!" Dumbledore said. "But I'm afraid we'll have to talk about this later. The wand testing ceremony is about to begin, and I don't think you should miss it."
The group returned to the room. Except for Hibiscus Chinensis, the other warriors had already taken their seats. Professor Kakarov, Mrs. Maxim, Mr. Crouch, and Ludo Bargmann were also sitting in their respective chairs.
Elwyn, Harry, Corin, and Gabri sat next to Hermione, while Rita Skeeter sat in the other corner.
She took out the roll of parchment from her handbag and spread it on her lap. She smacked the tip of her shorthand quill, and once again placed the quill vertically on the parchment.
"What were you guys doing just now?" Hermione asked in a low voice.
"Corin and I went to interview Hibiscus Chinensis. Harry was probably asked by Rita Skeeter to interview him," Elwyn said.
"Don't mention it. That woman is terrible. You guys didn't see what she was writing!" Harry sighed, looking a little agitated. "She wanted to hear my opinion on the championship, but she didn't write according to what I said."
"You should've known that she likes to spread rumors." Hermione said keenly, and took out her quill. "Do you remember the report on the Quidditch World Cup? The one about Mr. Weasley? The rumor that he disguised himself as a pile of corpses from the ruins …"
Hearing her reminder, Harry also remembered this matter.
If he had known this would happen, he would've rejected the interview request.
Elwyn looked at Rita Skeeter. This person really knew how to cause trouble. He had to get rid of her as soon as possible.
As if sensing Elwyn's gaze, Rita Skeeter raised her head and gave him an ugly smile.
The green quill continued to write, and no one in the classroom spoke.
"Warriors, please allow me to introduce Mr. Ollivander to you." Dumbledore sat down at the referee's seat and said to the four warriors, "He is going to check your wands to make sure they are in good condition before the match."
Only then did Elwyn see an old wizard with two big, pale eyes standing quietly by the window.
It was Mr. Ollivander, and he looked as strange as before.
"Miss Dracul, can you go first?" Mr. Ollivander said, and walked to the empty space in the middle of the room.
Hibiscus Chinensis nodded, walked lightly to Mr. Ollivander, and handed her wand to him.
Ollivander twirled the wand between his slender fingers like he was playing with a baton, and the wand spewed out many pink and gold sparks.
Then, he brought the wand close to his eyes, and held it carefully.
"Not bad!" He said softly, "Nine inches, very strong, made of maple, and contains … oh my!"
"Contains a strand of Melvah's hair," Hibiscus Chinensis said, "It's my grandmother's hair."
Hearing this, Hermione hurriedly recorded it down.
Although Elwyn had said before that Hibiscus Chinensis and Gabri both had a quarter of Melvah's blood, but this was not as shocking as admitting it herself.
Especially Ron, his eyes stared straight at Hibiscus Chinensis, as if he was attracted to her.
From Elwyn's point of view, Hibiscus Chinensis's trip to the Hogwarts, other than becoming a warrior, was probably the only thing she was satisfied with, being able to attract the attention of a large number of boys and have them fall for her looks.
