HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Rita Skeeter can certainly write good articles, but good articles can't make money or create topics or gain fame, so what's the point?

The Gryffindor trio didn't know what Rita Skeeter thought, but Ron knew what Hermione thought of Skeeter.

"Don't you hate her the most? You said you wouldn't let her go." Ron helped Hermione recall what she had said and continued, "If she hadn't slandered you for being two-timing, would you have been sent those insulting letters?"

Of course Hermione remembered. Her memory was second to none among all the students in the school except the first.

When Ron brought up the past, Hermione was much calmer than Ron had imagined. "I can settle my personal grudge with Skeeter later. The important thing now is to make wizards pay attention to the return of the Dark Lord."

She herself is a Muggle wizard, one of the people who need to be liquidated when the Dark Lord returns.

"I still say the same thing, that woman won't write anything good about you, Harry." Ron looked at Harry disapprovingly, his fingers subconsciously kneading the corners of the newspaper.

Ron did know Rita Skeeter very well, in a sense.

But there are always surprises, and the surprise is Licorice.

"Lycles said she could ask Rita Skeeter to publish the interview truthfully in Witch Weekly." Hermione believed Lycles, so she believed what she said.

But there are indeed too many things worth complaining about this sentence.

Lycoris herself, a Slytherin student and Malfoy's girlfriend.

Rita Skeeter is a rubbish reporter of questionable character, whose works are fabricated and exaggerate facts.

"Witch Weekly" is not Lycoris's or Rita Skeeter's, so why can you just go on to be one?

"Publish truthfully" makes it even more unbelievable.

Ron objected to this and expressed his disapproval of Harry going to Hogsmeade for an interview on Saturday.

"Lycoris promised that she would convince Skeeter and make sure she wouldn't write nonsense." Harry also believed in Lycoris. He looked at Ron, "Maybe... let's give it a try?"

"How can she guarantee that Rita Skeeter won't write nonsense? Persuasion? Are you sure that the reporter can be persuaded?" Ron thought Skeeter was an unscrupulous reporter and a bad wizard.

Come to think of it, Rita Skeeter doesn't seem like someone who would be easily persuaded.

But Lycoris gave Harry and Hermione an unexpected answer, and both Harry and Hermione remembered how Lycoris looked when she spoke.

"Persuade, don't you think I persuaded with my mouth?" Licorice chuckled, "You think you can persuade others with just your mouth? Of course it's for the benefit."

"Benefits?" Harry asked doubtfully.

"Gold Galleons, you don't understand?" At that time, Licorice thought Harry was also very naive.

The Potter family vault is filled with gold Galleons. Except for the time when Hagrid took Potter some and he bought a lot of snacks, no one had ever spent any of them - except for the start-up capital given to the Weasley twins last year.

With Jin Galleon leading the way, many things will become much easier.

Hermione immediately understood what Licorice meant. She asked hesitantly, "Do you mean to offer money to buy the manuscript?"

"Of course, doesn't she live on newspaper manuscripts? To put it nicely, wouldn't she be unhappy if you paid her more?" Lycoris couldn't reveal her relationship with Rita Skeeter, so she just took it as an opportunity to give her extra money.

"Is this okay?" Harry couldn't believe that it could be done this way.

"If fifty gold Galleons aren't enough, try one hundred. If one hundred isn't enough, try two hundred. If that's still not enough, keep adding." Lycoris replied to Harry, "Why not?"

"Can journalists accept money privately?" Hermione was also surprised. She thought this profession was a serious one.

"I said I could convince her with money," was Lycoris's reply.

"Why aren't you talking?" Ron noticed that Harry and Hermione were both silent, their beautiful eyes looking left and right.

"There is a way." Hermione found this solution difficult to say.

"What?" Ron asked, curious.

"Use gold Galleons to buy her as published." Harry added Hermione.

Ron didn't know how to respond to this short sentence. "You mean that Licorice is going to pay you with Galleons to buy Skeeter's article for publication?"

Does she have money but nowhere to spend it?

Ron Weasley had no idea of ​​the power of money and he was shocked.

Ron asked Harry, "Then why did Lycoris help you so much?"

Would she do something that has no benefit?

of course not.

Like Harry? No way? Doesn't she like Malfoy?

Ron looked at Harry and felt that his brother was much more handsome than Malfoy, the peacock - the most beautiful part was his eyes.

Harry felt that Ron's eyes were strange. He turned his head to Hermione and said, "Lyrics said she has a condition..."

"I told you she had some ulterior motive." Ron felt that he had seen the truth behind Lycoris's behavior. He pressed Harry's hand impatiently and asked, "What is it?"

"What are the conditions?" Harry asked the same question to Lycoris.

"You and Weasley, stop targeting my boyfriend." Harry was caught off guard by what Lycoris said.

Licorice changed her boyfriend? How come I didn't know?

Then she realized that her boyfriend was Draco Malfoy.

Who is targeting whom?

No! Why are you talking nonsense?

You are helping me with advice, but you can't tell lies!

Harry was about to stand up and retort, but was stopped by Hermione.

Every time, Malfoy would come over and speak in a sarcastic tone, saying that he was an orphan and that Ron was poor and incompetent.

"I want you to give way to him." Lycoris looked at Harry just sitting down and said, "Don't mind what he said."

Every word Licorice said made Harry want to explode. Listen to me, are you speaking human language?

Your boyfriend likes to stir up trouble, so why don’t you let him go?

"Why don't you answer me again?" Ron felt that Harry and Hermione hesitated for a longer time, and he was a little annoyed. "What did she ask for?"

"Let's not mind what Draco Malfoy did," Ron's face changed as soon as Harry finished speaking, as if he had thought of something. Harry continued to add, "Yes, it's what you think, including but not limited to sarcastic remarks."

Does Lycoris love Malfoy that much?

Ron didn't understand, and didn't want to understand.

"You won't agree to her, will you?" Ron didn't want Harry to agree, so he asked anxiously, "You didn't agree, did you?"

"How could I agree to this? It wasn't us who caused the trouble, it was Malfoy!" Harry paused after seeing Ron calm down, and said, "I told her that I could pay Skeeter to publish the article truthfully, and forget about this request."

Ron asked, "She said yes?"

Of course Lycoris agreed.

She never cared about Draco's actions, so how could she really do that?
