Luna Lovegood

"Ah, you're Kane Hiss? I know you. In my dad's newspaper, he wrote that you were a ruthless tool Dumbledore used to get rid of poor Professor Quirinus Quirrell."

Luna's very first sentence piqued Kane's curiosity.

Who exactly was Luna's father? Could he be a school governor, or perhaps some influential figure with power throughout the entire Wizarding World?

He even knew about secrets like this? And knew them so precisely?

Curious, Kane quietly positioned himself between the Weasley twins and gently patted one of them at random.

"Who exactly is Luna's father? Could he be one of the Celestial Dragons of the magical world?" Kane asked in a low voice.

"Actually... he's just the editor of an ordinary little newspaper."

"He runs a lukewarm news magazine that's practically dying, called The Quibbler."

"As for the news in it, it really just contradicts things for the sake of contradicting them. There's basically nothing worthwhile in it. You could say the whole thing just rides on the Daily Prophet's popularity."

And this was an extremely dangerous thing to do. It brought that journalist brave enough to speak the truth
