Less than 24 hours after the Yule Ball…
BOOM.
Newspapers exploded across Britain, France, Germany, and even the American wizarding communities.
Front page headline:

The article included:

✔ Roy's unexpected musical mastery
✔ His "romantic private performance under moonlight"
✔ Quotes from swooning Hogwarts and Beauxbatons girls
✔ A dramatic sketch of Roy playing the keytar like a celestial god
Rita even wrote:
"Britain may have its Boy-Who-Lived,but France has its Man-Who-Makes-Ladies-Swoon."
Harry cried.
Ron fumed.
Neville fainted.
Hogwarts Explodes
The moment students saw the article:
Hufflepuff tables screamed in pride.
Beauxbatons girls formed a choir singing Roy's name.
Durmstrang students acted like Roy was an unstoppable war god.
Gryffindor girls argued over who Roy should sing to next.
Ravenclaws began analyzing Roy's time-bending spell.
Slytherins started taking notes on his noble etiquette.
Even Snape muttered:
Snape:"He's becoming too strong…"
NATO & French Military Respond
Because Rita's article went viral…
Because the British wizarding press published Roy saving the royal children…
Because foreign newspapers picked it up…
By noon, several military helicopters were visible above Hogwarts grounds.
Students panicked.
Professor McGonagall shrieked.
Madam Pomfrey fainted.
The lead helicopter landed gently on the Quidditch Pitch.
A French officer stepped out, saluted the Valvas banners, and announced:
"Message and gifts from NATO Supreme Command and the French Defense Ministry!"
Inside the crates were:
✔ A customized ceremonial sword for Roy ✔ NATO medal of gratitude ✔ A diplomatic commendation letter ✔ A set of enchanted instruments from the French Wizarding Arts Division
And…
A letter from the French President himself.
Students stared in disbelief.
Dumbledore's Desperate Plea
Later that day, in the Headmaster's office:
Dumbledore rubbed his forehead so hard it looked like he might erase his wrinkles.
Roy sat politely.
Dumbledore sighed deeply:
Dumbledore:"Roy… my boy…could you please…please…PLEASE stop attracting global attention for at least one week?"
Roy blinked innocently.
Roy:"I didn't do anything this time."
Dumbledore:"You gave nine girls a private romantic concert!"
Roy:"…That wasn't global news."
Dumbledore:"It is now."
Darius (proud):"I see nothing wrong. My grandson has talent."
Clara:"And charm."
Dumbledore:"That's precisely the problem."
The portraits laughed.Phineas Black wheezed.
Clara vs Reporters: Round 2
Outside, reporters tried to breach Hogwarts again.
Rita Skeeter was literally hanging from a broom, begging for another interview.
A wizard photographer was chased by a Blast-Ended Skrewt.
A group of reporters had banners reading:
"ROY, SING FOR US!"
"YAKSHA PRINCE FANCLUB!"
"DROP THE NEW ALBUM!!"
Clara stepped out with the Valvas guards.
Her aura turned colder than Antarctica.
Clara (dangerous smile):"Gentlemen.Did you not understand my first warning?"
All reporters froze.
Clara:"Let me repeat:
If you harass Roy again,I will relocate you to our NATO training camp in Siberiafor 'interviews'."
Half the reporters fainted instantly.
Rita Skeeter shrieked and turned into a beetle in panic.
A guard calmly captured the beetle in a jar and brought it to Clara.
Clara:"…Good. Now she can't write."
Back Inside Hogwarts
Students were cheering Roy's name.
Teachers groaned.
The girls blushed remembering the private song.
Grayfia stood beside Roy proudly.Fleur leaned on his shoulder.Hermione, Daphne, and the others never left his side.
Darius patted Roy's back.
Darius:"You're making enemies fear you and women adore you.Truly the Valvas heir."
Clara pinched Roy's cheek.
Clara:"But next time you sing a romantic song,INVITE ME TOO."
Roy:"…Grandma??"
