Walking out of the building he started walking towards Diagon Alley since the law firm was a bit to the side from the Alley. Only 5 minutes later he arrived at the Leaky Cauldron, noticing already many guests he walked with a fast pace to the bricks and into Diagon then straight to the office of Daily Prophet.

Harry straighten himself and held his head high before walking in, looking around he noticed a secretary from sorts, noticing the director's office at the end of the hall he walked with confidence in. The older plumb man jumped at the sudden intrusion and started yelling "what do you think you are doing walking in like that? Who do you think you are young man?" Harry just stared at him until he stopped, finally he said " Since today I'm the owner of this newspaper I think I can go wherever I can. And if you don't want to lose you job you will shut up. Do you know who I am?"  The man now took his time to observe the boy in front of him noticing the expensive robes and booths as well as his Lord's ring with the Potter crest, he blanched.

" First Director Tyl I want you to actually be a director of this newspaper. I want you to check on reporters and they articles. Obey the rules I set and don't  let the ministry or lord's bribe you if I found out otherwise I will find someone competent to run this."

But you need to have evidence of what you write as well as permission for the quotes you use. I know about your animagus form and I have a special assignment for you would you be interested?"
