30. News in the newspaper

Ron also noticed the newspaper that Jon picked up.

"Oh, yes, my mother also said that my father stuffed me some newspapers from the previous few months in it. He hoped that I could learn more about the current affairs of the magic world. But I asked me to say that it was impossible to learn any real news at the Prophet Daily. Everyone knew that after three reporters who dared to dig out big news disappeared in a row, the newspaper now licked the magic government in all aspects, and did not even dare to say a truth."

Jon listened to him, his attention remained on the front page of the news about Batty Little's award-winning.

It is indeed as Ron said, this whole article is about flattering Barty Crouch Jr., but it is said that he got the second-level badge for what he achieved.

Neville also turned his head and watched the news with Jon, and he commented on the side.

"I've heard from my father that the badge of the Knights of Merlin completely lost its former glory after the man became president. He gave almost every one of his most loyal core subordinates. This man named Barty Crouch should have had a Level 3 badge before, and now he has got a Level 2. But what's ridiculous is that his most famous deed was actually executing his father himself."

Jon turned his gaze away from the newspaper with a look of surprise.

"Execute your father?"

Neville shrugged.

"Yes, Barty Crouch's father is also called Barty Crouch. The Crouch family is a pure blood family with a long history, but his father is indeed a steadfast anti-pure blood theory and resists the man's rule over the magic world. At that time, he was the director of the Magic Law Department of the Ministry of Magic, and the Aurors in the entire magic world were from his subordinates. Then after the man successfully captured the Ministry of Magic, Old Crouch was arrested. He did not surrender like other officials of the Ministry of Magic, even if his only son was in a high position among the Death Eaters."

"I heard that the man originally wanted to keep him in prison for the rest of his life, but the son of old Crouch, the now-winning Barty Crouch, actually offered to execute his father. In the end, the man agreed, and the executioner of the person who executed him was his biological son."

After listening to him, Ravend and Justin both opened their mouths wide, and Ron also looked at the hypocritical smile of the young man in the newspaper in disgust.

"My parents always told me that this guy is not a human!"

"Killing his father with his own hands, this...this is so terrible..." Ravend said with a pale face.

Because he had the impression in the original work, Jon was not too surprised by the actions of Little Batty in this world. After all, in the original work, he also killed his father with his own hands, but now it has become earlier and the nature is worse.

Jon put down this newspaper. Mr. Weislai sent a lot of old newspapers to Ron. He was very interested in these things that could understand the information of the magic world now.

I flipped through several more pictures in a row. In addition to the changes of some officials in the Ministry of Magic and some gossip news, there were articles that praised Voldemort for merit. These articles were full of effort. And just like what Neville said before, "Great Mr." has obviously become the official name for him in the magic world. But when Jon looked at him, he felt chills in his heart, and his arms were filled with goose bumps.

Finally, he saw a news article about the Hogwarts led by Dumbledore in a newspaper dated September 12.

It was reported that Auror accidentally discovered the whereabouts of the most popular black wizard in the magic world, the wanted criminal Albus Dumbledore and his terrorist organization during a routine patrol. Auror at the scene began to take action without waiting for reinforcements from the ministry. As a result, the operation failed and he lost the whereabouts of the criminals.

For this reason, the great gentleman who rarely interfered in the internal operation of the Ministry of Magic clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with the director of the Auror Command, Lucius Malfoy. Lucius even directly sent the Aurors who escaped from Dumbledore to Azkaban for malfeasance.

This news was not on the front page of the day, but was just in a corner, and there were no pictures on it. It seems that the Prophet Daily does not attach great importance to this matter.

But Jon felt something was wrong.

But he couldn't tell where this wrong feeling came from, but he just felt that Voldemort didn't seem to attach great importance to Dumbledore and the Hogwarts where he is now.

Otherwise, would he just express his dissatisfaction with Lucius in his personality?

But Jon now knows too little about Voldemort in this time and space. He knows that if Voldemort still had no changes in the original work, it would not have been possible to force Dumbledore and Hogwarts to such an extent.

So he did not always use the inherent impression in his mind to guess the psychology of this "great gentleman".

Jon shook his head, and just as he wanted to put the newspaper in his hand back, the title of another news on the back of the newspaper caught his attention.

【On the first anniversary of Nick Lemay’s death, the Philosopher’s Stone is still missing】

He frowned and carefully read the report in full, and finally looked up at Neville, who already showed signs of "Journal of Everything".

"Is Nick Lemay dead old?"

Neville also looked at the news and nodded.

"Yes, the alchemist who had lived for centuries eventually died of old age with his wife. He went to the Ministry of Magic three months before his death and said that his Philosopher's Stone was stolen in England. He was a French wizard, but he often lived in Devon. The Philosopher's Stone was lost at that time."

"It is said that when he went to report the case, the man met him privately. What he said was unknown. But after that, Auror from the Ministry of Magic tried his best to help him track down the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone, but there was no clue until Nick Lemay himself used up some of the remaining immortal medicines, and he and his wife eventually died in Devon."

Ron inserted into their topic and said.

"George and Fred told this at home last year. They both suspected that it was actually the people from the Ministry of Magic who stole Nick Lemay's stone. These people were originally a group of robbers. He went to report the case just to get his stone back, but you also saw it."

After hearing the two of them, Jon looked at the news in the newspaper thoughtfully again.
