"I'm very curious about the explosion principle of the Magic Mobile Phone," Lorne said, waving his hands repeatedly. "This isn't to deny any error; I can't be sure the Magic Mobile Phone won't explode, so I need the explosion principle to find the problem."

Lorne held up one finger to the sky. "Everyone here, whoever can make it explode using Magic Mobile Phone and demonstrate it on stage will receive a cash reward of one thousand Galleon from the Magic Mobile Phone Shop."

The people in the audience gradually realized that this was not an apology meeting at all, but clearly a disguised marketing campaign.

But Lorne's confidence also made them start to wonder: could the Magic Mobile Phone really explode?

Before the Daily Prophet's report, they had never imagined that Magic Mobile Phone could explode, and the fact that the injured person hadn't shown up for two days made the whole thing seem rather strange.

Lorne stood on the stage and stopped speaking; he needed the crowd to start thinking and discussing.

Amidst the chaotic conversation, Harry suddenly stood up and scrambled up the platform in a few steps.

"I believe what Director Lorne said," Harry glanced around. " Director Lorne is a teacher at Hogwarts. I received Magic Mobile Phone over a year ago because I participated in an event organized by Director Lorne. You could say I was one of the first users of Magic Mobile Phone, and I'm the number one in Wizard Legend."

Harry appeared online under his real name in the Wizard Legend, and many in the audience immediately recognized him. "He is Harry Potter, the Child of Prophecy, the famous the Chosen One!"

This title is much more useful than the Head of General Affairs Office at Hogwarts; Harry received a lot of applause as soon as he appeared.

"When I first arrived at Hogwarts, I knew nothing about magic, and I couldn't even sense my own magic," Harry said, holding up his Magic Mobile Phone. "It was the Magic Mobile Phone that allowed me to feel the flow of magic for the first time, and at the same time, my magical level improved much faster than the students around me."

" Director Lorne launched the ' Senior's Help ' program this year to help us integrate the knowledge from the textbooks, which enabled me to achieve top grades this semester."

"I've been using the Magic Mobile Phone for over a year. Do you think I don't know if it might explode? Wands can also backfire if used by incompatible users. Isn't that more dangerous than an explosion? Besides, there are so many people here. Whose Magic Mobile Phone has ever malfunctioned? What are the chances of Magic Mobile Phone exploding? Is it really so dangerous that we should give up a great helper that can improve our magic level, help us learn, provide entertainment, and enable remote communication?"

"..."

Harry was indeed arranged by Lorne, but Lorne did not expect Harry's speech to be so excellent, even more effective than his own.

As for Harry's claim about the ability to enhance magical abilities, it might actually have some effect, but it's definitely limited. At least for wizards who have already graduated, it's negligible; otherwise, no one would have noticed it for so long.

But no one can prove he's a fraud.

Just like the idea that Magic Mobile Phone can explode, the other party is only presenting a possibility. Proving that Magic Mobile Phone can explode only requires one example, but proving that Magic Mobile Phone cannot explode requires a large amount of theoretical data, and the public doesn't buy it.

Similarly, no one can prove that his Magic Mobile Phone cannot improve his magic level.

Using one lie to cover up another is a public relations tactic of diverting attention.

Not many people came to request a refund that day. Those who did were discouraged after hearing that they would be permanently barred from purchasing the product again once they received a refund.

Whether the Magic Mobile Phone will explode is still uncertain, but it's fun, and they've already verified that.

Suddenly, the security of the Magic Mobile Phone once again came to the forefront of public attention, with countless news reports about searching for the injured, and a large number of onlookers jumping into the fray.

Inside the Malfoy Manor.

"Why didn't you go all the way with the act in the first place?" Lucius slammed his fist on the table. "Now find someone with an injured eye, or you can gouge your own eye out and show up."

"Because nobody wants to actually injure their own eye," the subordinate stammered, "We still need to do a medical examination to determine the extent of the injury. Newspapers have even interviewed nurses at the hospital, and they said they haven't seen any patients with eye injuries recently."

"Even if I gouge out my own eyes now, it's too late," the subordinate said tremblingly, handing over a copy of the latest " The Quibbler." "Take a look at this."

Lucius took the newspaper, and his vision went black. He was so angry that he could hardly breathe.

On the other side.

Lorne directed methodically. " Harry, remember what I told you? The war of public opinion is all about timing and multiple escalations; once you start, you can't stop."

Harry nodded. "I understand. Just like the combos in Street Wizard Fighter, you have to take advantage of the opponent's momentary lapse in attention to unleash devastating damage."

Lorne said with satisfaction, "This child is teachable."

The front page headline of the newspaper on the tea table contained news that Lorne had arranged long before the apology meeting.

--Several men dressed in black appeared in Diagon Alley, suspected to Death Eaters.

--According to sources, Death Eaters may target the Magic Mobile Phone store because they are worried about the Magic Mobile Phone's communication capabilities.

--The biggest obstacle to the You-Know-Who's comeback is actually this: what makes the Magic Mobile Phone so outstanding?

--Why is Magic Mobile Phone Store so frequently targeted? Is it a sign of distorted human nature or moral decay?

Unlike Lucius, Lorne went all out in his acting; he even actually led Quirrell and Harry, dressed in black robes, in front of the Magic Mobile Phone Magic Mobile Phone, loudly plotting how to frame it.

"Master, aren't we lying?" Harry put the black robe into the box.

" Harry, good people aren't saints," Lorne couldn't help but say. "Just like the relationship between Defence Against Dark Magic Class and Dark Magic, we don't use it intentionally, but that doesn't mean we don't understand Dark Magic. When someone wants to use it on you, who cares about black, white, red, blue, or green? We'll use whatever we know."

Lorne's series of punches wasn't finished yet; after putting the hat on him, he still had to draw targets and practice shooting.

The following day, Lorne gave an interview to the Daily Prophet, in which he skillfully avoided the various traps the reporter had set for him, clearly stating that it was the ability of the Magic Mobile Phone to facilitate communication that made the Death Eaters fearful, and that they had once again crawled out of the gutter, wanting to use every means to sever the connections between wizards.

Lorne also hinted that the person who could target the Magic Mobile Phone in public opinion must be very talented, most likely a former subordinate of the You-Know-Who, and currently holding an important position in the Ministry of Magic.

"Even a fair and authoritative newspaper like the Daily Prophet could be infiltrated by him, which shows that Death Eaters are still a formidable force in the Wizarding World," Lorne said with a smile, but a murderous glint appeared in his eyes when he looked at the reporter. "I believe the Ministry of Magic has already taken action to restore Daily Prophet and its millions of readers."

The reporter, who had originally planned to pull some tricks, wiped the sweat from his forehead, pursed his lips, and nodded.
