Chapter 1609 Biography

Hermione finished reading, and Elphias Doge's account was basically true.

This is Dumbledore, the greatest wizard in the world.

For many people, it may be the first time they have heard about these past events related to Dumbledore. People are familiar with the current Dumbledore.

Old and respected, with silver beard and hair, he has been in charge of Hogwarts for many years.

Few people mention Dumbledore's early years now, and even if they do, most of them talk about his extraordinary achievements.

Ivan knows more about Dumbledore's past. Dumbledore's greatness is not only reflected in his brilliant achievements, but also his noble qualities.

In his long and wonderful life, he had the opportunity and ability to get more, whether it was greater rights or stronger power, but Dumbledore gave up all of them in the end, the Minister of Magic, the Deathly Hallows, immortality, these Dumbledore had everything at his fingertips, but he rejected it all because it didn't suit his quest.

As the obituary says, for the higher good.

In Nurmengard Wizard Prison, Aiwen saw this sentence engraved on the gate.

That's what Dumbledore stayed there, and it's a portrayal of his life. He sincerely gave everything for Hogwarts and the better development of the wizarding world.

Dumbledore, great man!

The more you know about his past, the more admirable you are.

But not everyone thinks so. Soon, Hermione found the latest issue of the "Daily Prophet". On the front page, there was a picture of Dumbledore walking in a hurry, with a slightly smaller one on it. title and introduction.

"Elphias Dorge's obituary is good, but there are a lot of places where it's not too specific. Obviously, Rita Skeeter, that bastard, has a different view on Dumbledore's past," she said. "Alvin, listen to this, Dumbledore, the truth is out! A shocking biography is out next week about the flawed genius who many consider to be the greatest wizard of his time. Rita Skeeter strips back the beloved silver-haired wise man to reveal Dumbledore's turbulent childhood and chaotic youth, his lifelong enemies, and the sinful ways he took to his grave. Secret. Why is this would-be Minister of Magic content to be just a headmaster? What is the real purpose of that secret order called the Order of the Phoenix? How did Dumbledore die? Why were people not seen at the funeral His dead body? The answers to these questions and more are explored in Rita Skeeter's explosive new biography, The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore, written by Betty Braithwaite. The biographer gave an exclusive interview, see page 13 of this newspaper."

Ivan blinked, looking at Hermione who suddenly became very angry.

"Don't be mad, Hermione, she just likes to talk nonsense, you know that."

During this summer vacation, Aiwen made some adjustments to the business of "Hogwarts Wizardry News".

After Dumbledore's death, Voldemort's rise to power was inevitable.

Therefore, Aiwen must make preparations earlier.

He couldn't have expected Voldemort and the Death Eaters to turn a blind eye to a hostile newspaper on the bustling street of Diagon Alley, and an adjustment was necessary.

After the adjustment, "Hogwarts Wizardry" began to be unable to compete with the old "Daily Prophet", and the increasingly restless wizarding world was also undergoing changes.

Under this change, although Rita Skeeter did not completely turn against Ivan, she started writing articles for the "Daily Prophet" again, writing some articles about Dumbledore, and then disappeared for a while, holding back Such a big move.

Probably in her opinion, Aiwen is no longer a threat to her.

The fact is also that Ivan and the Order of the Phoenix can't take care of Rita Skeeter now.

It is as unrealistic to expect a reporter like her to have integrity and bottom line, not to cause trouble at this time, and to expect Voldemort to get better.

"You're right, it's all worthless nonsense."

Hermione flipped through it for a while, then threw the newspaper into the wastebasket.

She promised to help make dinner, and after she left, Ivan walked over to find the latest issue of the "Daily Prophet", page 13.

He was curious about what Rita Skeeter said again. Is she going to write a biography for Dumbledore?

Having said that, this woman is still good at digging up some news.

Did she know anything about the secret of Dumbledore's death?

Of course, there are many contents in Skeeter’s article that need to be picked and read, and we cannot believe all of them.

In the newspaper, what appeared in front of Ivan was a familiar face: a woman wearing a pair of jeweled eyes, a head of blond hair made into delicate big curls, teeth bared, and a face that she obviously thought was charming. Smiling, fingers opened and swayed towards Ivan.

Ivan tried not to look at the disgusting photo and continued to read.

Rita Skeeter is famously sharp in her writing, but she is much more warm and easy-going in person. In the warmth and comfort of her home, she greeted me in the foyer and led me straight into the kitchen for tea, a slice of cake heavy with sugar and oil, and of course, a hot, fresh-baked conversation.

"Needless to say, Dumbledore is a biographer's dream character." Skeeter said, "Such a long and rich life, my book is the first, and I believe there will be many, many more."

Skeeter was undeniably quick, with the 900-page biography written just four weeks after Dumbledore's mysterious death in June.

I asked her how she could do it so fast.

"Oh, if you've been a reporter for so many years like I have, it's second nature to rush for time. I know wizards are hungry for a full biography, and I want to be the first to satisfy that need."

I refer to the most widely circulated comment of Elphias Dorge, special advisor to the Wizengamot and longtime friend of Albus Dumbledore, who said that "what is contained in Skeeter's book In fact, it's not as good as a chocolate frog card."

Skeeter looked up to the sky and laughed, disdainful of this statement.

"Lovely old slick! I remember interviewing him years ago on the subject of mermaid rights, God help him. Whole dodger, seems to think we're sitting at the bottom of Windermere, and keeps calling me Watch out for salmon."

However, many media have reprinted Elfias Dorje's accusation that the biography is full of mistakes.

Did Skeeter really feel that four short weeks were enough to adequately describe Dumbledore's long and extraordinary life?

"Oh dear," Skeeter said with a smile on his face, patting my hand affectionately, "You know as well as I do that with a heavy bag of Galleons, a drive to get to the bottom of the casserole, And a nice, sharp shorthand quill, so much information! And people lined up to gossip about Dumbledore. Not everyone thinks he's that good, you know, I must say, he has offended too many important people. However, old slippery Dorje can get off his high hippogriff because I have found the source most journalists are willing to trade wands for: this man Never spoken in public before, but was intimate with Dumbledore during his extremely turbulent youth."

The ad for the new book of Skeeter's biography makes it clear that for those who believe that Dumbledore's life was perfect, there will be a powerful shock waiting for them. So what's the most shocking secret she's uncovered?
