The common room of Gryffindor College is a comfortable oval room filled with soft armchairs. There are two spiral staircases leading to the male and female dormitories respectively. The entrance is the famous "Fat Lady". "portrait.

And now, there are a few newspapers scattered on several armchairs, and at the foot of the stairs, several junior Gryffindor students are chattering—

"Hey, did you read today's new Daily Prophet?"

"No...then it shouldn't be full of old-fashioned content, I've stopped reading it a long time ago."

"No, no, today, a new column was suddenly opened on the "Daily Prophet"—introducing a large number of heroic wizards that emerged in the magic world during the process of fighting against the mysterious man."

"Really? This column sounds quite interesting!"

"Yes... Today is the first issue of this section, which introduces the life story of Professor Horace Slughorn."

"Professor Slughorn? Unbelievable, isn't he the head of Slytherin? I didn't expect him to be one of the heroes against the mysterious man?"

"Yes, I suggest you take a good look at that interview. It's an exclusive interview with Slughorn by the famous reporter Rita Skeeter. My mother likes her very much..."

"Then what did that interview specifically describe?"

"It says that Professor Slughorn has infiltrated the Death Eaters since sixteen years ago...while secretly serving the Order of the Phoenix..."

"...wait... the Order of the Phoenix... what is that?"

"Oh, this new column gave a detailed introduction to the Order of the Phoenix at the very beginning. It was created by our former headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, for the purpose of fighting the Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters. ...It is said that many famous wizards are members of the Order of the Phoenix, such as the elder brother of the current Minister of Magic, and several principals of our school..."

"Well, this is the first time I've heard of this name!"

"Professor Slughorn risked his life to send a message to the Order of the Phoenix from among the Death Eaters... It is said that the decisive factor in being able to defeat the mysterious man again a month ago is that he found out the true identity of the mysterious man. plan……"

...

Several Gryffindor juniors were discussing enthusiastically there, and at the same time, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley also came over.

No doubt they were also discussing the contents of the Daily Prophet.

"I didn't expect that the Daily Prophet would speak for us one day?" Harry said sarcastically. Obviously, for the past one or two years, the Daily Prophet slandered him and Dumbledore. Still brooding.

"After all, the Mysterious Man has fallen." Ron comforted him, "It's just that I didn't expect that the first interview was to introduce Slughorn... I didn't know that he was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix until a few days ago." Members... I thought we should start with Mad-Eye, or Remus..."

"Who knows?" Harry shrugged, "It's just that the response seems to be pretty good."

"In Hermione's words...the wizarding world is in need of heroes right now." Ron also nodded thoughtfully on the side: "I suspect the next few interviews will be even more exciting!"

After a pause, Ron said again: "By the way, Harry, Slughorn's interview seems to have mentioned something about your mother..."

"My mother was one of his favorite students..." Harry replied succinctly, as if unwilling to dwell on the issue too much.

"Harry!" A scream came from the side, almost startling Harry.

It was Colin Creevey, fifth year, returning to the Gryffindor common room with a stack of books.

"Good afternoon, Colin..." Harry could only greet the other party.

"I heard... are you also a member of the Order of the Phoenix?" Colin fussed.

"Why...well, actually I was...but, how did you know..." Harry stammered.

"I heard from a portrait next to the principal's office...it's so great...I didn't expect you to be one of the heroes who risked their lives against the mysterious man..." Colin looked at Haha with reverence Lee, said out loud.

And his voice is easy for others to hear.

The entire Gryffindor common room suddenly became a little quiet, and many students (including the few junior students who were discussing at the stairs) looked at Harry with very surprised eyes.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ron patted Harry lightly... The two returned to the boys' dormitory along the spiral staircase under a group of adoring eyes.

...

At the same time, in the principal's office a few corridors away, Principal Jon Hart was obviously also paying attention to this issue.

"It is said that the response to that interview is not bad!" Jon said slowly, while looking at the several portraits next to him.

"It seems to be..." Principal Chris Evans on the portrait nodded: "I just came from the Ministry of Magic, and there are discussions about that interview everywhere..."

"It seems to be a good start!" Principal Dai Lisi Dewente on the other side also said with a smile: "Just now in St. Mungo, I also heard many witches and wizards discussing this matter."

"But it's not all good news." Jon replied calmly: "Just now I received a letter from the editorial department of the "Daily Prophet", signed by their editor-in-chief Barnabas Guffy—— "

"...Mr. Barnabas-Guffy said that some senior officials of the Ministry of Magic's Law Enforcement Department were quite dissatisfied with the content of this interview, and believed that the "Daily Prophet" in this report clearly implied that the Ministry of Magic was In the war against the mysterious man, showing incompetence..."

"Isn't that the truth?" In the corner, a principal suddenly said.

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter——

"Then what should we do?" Principal Dai Lisi-Derwent looked at Jon with some concern: "Could it be that this column, after only one issue, will be forced to close under the pressure of the Ministry of Magic?"

"Of course not." Jon shook his head: "In fact, I have already prepared for the next interview... I have already contacted Heska Jones, Sturgis Podmore, Alastor Moody, etc. Man, they're going to be interviewed by Rita Skeeter in a few days..."

"Are you going to introduce several of them at the same time this time?" Principal Chris Evans asked.

"That's not true." Jon shook his head: "They were just recalling in the interview, a member of the Order of the Phoenix who died sixteen years ago—Mr. Edgar Burns."
