The Daily Prophet owl swarm arrived at Hogwarts early the next morning.
But this time…
It wasn't just Hogwarts owls.Not just British owls.Owls from every country delivered newspapers — French, Russian, German, Swiss, Italian, American… even Japanese magical papers.
A storm of feathers and envelopes filled the Great Hall.
Students reached for their newspapers—
And then the screaming started.
The Headline That Shook Europe
Right on the front page of the Daily Prophet, in massive golden letters:
"THE YAKSHA PRINCE — SAVIOR OF BRITAIN?" Exclusive by Rita Skeeter
Below it, a huge moving magical photograph:
Roy Valvas standing in the Great Hall with Beauxbatons girls kneeling around him, Hogwarts girls clinging to him, cloak fluttering, eyes calm — looking like a literal legend.
Every single student in the Great Hall collectively gasped.
Another headline ran beneath:
"Mystery Mission! Greyback Dead! Royal Princes Saved! The Valvas Heir Prevents Muggle–Wizard War!"
The hall exploded.
Hogwarts Reacts
A Gryffindor table:
"HE DID WHAT?!"
Ravenclaw table:
"He singlehandedly prevented World War Three?!"
Hufflepuff table:
"Our Roy is too powerful… we must protect him…"
Slytherins:
"…I kneel."
Several actually did.
Beauxbatons Melt Down
Beauxbatons girls were screaming.
"HE SAVED PRINCES!""HE DESTROYED FENRIR GREYBACK?!""THAT'S A ROYAL-CLASS THREAT!""HE'S SO STRONG I CAN'T BREATHE!"
Half of them fanned themselves dramatically.
The other half were crying into lace handkerchiefs.
Madam Maxime, reading the article, murmured proudly:
"Clara raised him well…"
Durmstrang Reaction
Durmstrang boys:
"We are NOT fighting that."
Krum:
"Is good man. But terrifying."
Another student whispered:
"What kind of monster kills Greyback ALONE?"
Karkaroff dropped his coffee.
The Article — Rita's Masterpiece of Chaos
Rita had written the most dramatic thing she had created in her life.
A few highlights included:
🔹 "Hogwarts witnessed a prince descend from the sky — returning from slaying monsters and rescuing royalty." 🔹 "According to undisclosed sources, Roy Valvas eliminated more than a hundred enemies in one night." 🔹 "British and French royal families credit him with preventing international war." 🔹 "Students wept upon his return; Beauxbatons girls kneeled in devotion." 🔹 "Is this young prince the future protector of Wizardkind?"
Rita even added a comparison chart:
Dumbledore — Half-moon spectacles
Voldemort — No nose
Yaksha Prince Roy Valvas — Power Level: Off the Chart
"Danger Level: Do Not Anger"
"Charm Level: 10/10"
"Popularity Level: Broken"
"Marriage Prospects: Infinite"
The whole school went insane.
Roy's Reaction
Roy sat at the Hufflepuff table, calmly eating toast, while the world lost its mind around him.
Grayfia sat beside him, reading the article with a blank expression.
"…I didn't know British journalism was this dramatic," she commented.
"Rita's always like this," Roy sighed.
But then—Hermione stormed up.
"ROY! RITA WROTE THAT YOU MADE GIRLS KNEEL ON COMMAND!"
"I didn't!"
"You DIDN'T STOP THEM EITHER!"
Cassandra: "You look too handsome in that picture."
Daphne: "Too heroic."
Astoria: "Unfair."
Ginny: "I— I'm not jealous! It's just— okay I'm jealous!"
Luna: "You looked very majestic. Like a divine yaksha god."
Grayfia: "Accurate."
Roy groaned.
Professor & Principal Table Reaction
Darius Valvas lowered his newspaper.
"He looks like a war hero."
Clara smiled, proud."He is one."
Dumbledore chuckled softly.
"Well… if any student deserved a dramatic headline, it is Roy."
Snape muttered,"I wonder if I can confiscate the Prophet for excessive exaggeration."
Flitwick squeaked,"Such wand skills… such raw power… astonishing!"
Sprout clasped her chest proudly,"My Hufflepuff boy!"
Karkaroff looked sick.
Madam Maxime glowed with pride.
Rita Skeeter's Follow-Up Interview Request
Just as breakfast ended, an owl landed in front of Roy.
In Rita's dramatic handwriting:
"Prince Yaksha —The world trembles and swoons for you.Another interview?Your story demands a sequel.—Rita Skeeter ♥"
Roy facepalmed so hard the table shook.
Grayfia smirked.
"You cannot escape fame now, young master. Accept it gracefully."
The girls nodded—aggressively.
And so… the legend of the Yaksha Prince spread across all of Europe.
A name feared by dark wizards.A name adored by witches.A name respected by royals.A name whispered by enemies.
Roy Valvas — the Yaksha Prince, Savior of Britain.
