Chapter 652 Shi Lezhi’s Pig’s Feet

"Fan Lin, I...I have one more thing."

"What's the matter?" Fan Lin raised his head and looked at Hermione, "You want to talk about what happened in the newspaper?"

"Well, just last night, Krum went to the library and invited me." Hermione said with some embarrassment, "But I refused before I had time to tell you, and then, I don't know why. Rita Skeeter will know."

"This is no surprise. You know, we are Rita's main focus." Fan Lin said, "However, I thought she would follow me, but I didn't expect it."

"Follow you?" Hermione recalled what Fanlin did to Rita, "Fortunately she didn't follow you."

Fan Lin laughed twice. Rita would not dare to come to the Room of Requirement. There was strict magical protection here, and Rita could not run around in Hogwarts at any time.

"It's okay, don't take it to heart, I will take care of it, Krum, and Rita." Fan Lin nodded.

It was too dangerous to leave that woman Rita outside. Originally, Fanlin planned to let Rita go if she didn't come to provoke him. However, it was Rita's fault to shift the target to Hermione.

…

In fact, Fanlin has been making arrangements about Rita these days.

Because the Marauder's Map was useless, Fan Lin naturally needed more time to arrange it, such as the magic for identification. Fan Lin had to use himself as bait to fish out the beetle.

For this reason, Fanlin has set up many triggering magic patterns at the capture location. As long as Rita dares to follow him...

It seemed silly, it was already dark, and sneaking out of the castle seemed like a waste of money if Professor Snape caught him.

He set up a magic pattern in the secret passage under the Whomping Willow, just to confirm whether Rita was following him. However, for three consecutive days, he kept running out, but Rita never took the bait.

It felt very bad, as if I had been tricked.

Could Rita have returned to the Daily Prophet office in Diagon Alley, or was she exposed?

It does seem strange to run away for three consecutive days, but this should also be good news in Rita's eyes.

Fan Lin felt that he was in a bad situation. Maybe today's time would be wasted again. He had walked nearly half of the way in the secret passage, but the magic pattern at the entrance of the secret passage had not been triggered yet.

Fan Lin missed the library a little, or the Gryffindor common room, or the Room of Requirement.

Anyway, as long as Hermione is there, anywhere is comfortable, at least much better than the cold Shrieking Shack.

Fan Lin rubbed his hands. For Rita, he also prepared some research materials on black magic, but under his deliberate cover-up, even Hermione had not read it.

But what is certain is that Rita has always been around him, and the magic patterns left in the castle have been triggered, but more of them have been erased by Professor Snape.

For this reason, Professor Snape said something like this in class.

Fan Lin very much doubted whether his little tricks were discovered by Professor Snape. Although he knew more things now, most of the foundations were left by Professor Snape.

Fan Lin sighed. It seemed that the night's operation failed again. Maybe he should change the method and directly use black magic to lure Rita out, and then directly use the magic spell to attack Rita?

However, Fan Lin decided to arrive at the Shrieking Shack first. That was the place where he wanted to be captured. No one would disturb him, and it was protected by Dumbledore's magic.

But when Fan Lin stepped into the Screaming Shack, the magic pattern set at the exit was triggered in an instant.

This made Fan Lin feel worried.

The magic pattern he set at the entrance of the secret passage did not move, but it was detected at the entrance of the Shrieking Shack.

How did Rita get around those magic lines?

Fan Lin paused for a moment, wondering if there was something wrong with his magic pattern, or...

But the feedback given by the magic pattern was indeed given by two people. The first person to pass was him, and the one who passed later was naturally Rita.

It couldn't be Harry. There was no reason for Harry to follow him wearing an invisibility cloak. Moreover, it was impossible for Harry to bypass the magic pattern at the entrance to the secret passage.

Fanlin calmed down and continued walking inside.

If Rita was near him right now, then he should be behaving normally.

Although he was unsure, Fan Lin still extended his magic power along the floor into the prepared magic patterns.

Seal the Shrieking Shack, which he had planned to do all along.

Is this supposed to be enough respect for Rita?

In fact, Fan Lin just planned to experiment with the magic circle.

He had seen Voldemort's ability to directly block the entire space with magic power. Fan Lin's current ability could not do this at all. However, Fan Lin was afraid that in the end, he would not be able to apparate out on his own.

We can't let him appear with Harry.

People outside the Three Wizards Fighting Competition were involved in the competition, especially since he had received news that the International Magic Federation would send people to supervise the third task.

Fan Lin has no idea how to get in by himself. It seems that he still has to rely on Dumbledore. Moreover, there are some things that Fan Lin thinks Dumbledore needs to know.

Those vampires are now helping Voldemort, so it is obvious that what they are looking for must be what Voldemort needs.

Perhaps it was a powerful wand, or some dark magic item. Fanlin wondered whether Voldemort already knew the secrets about the wand, or whether he had prepared something extra for Dumbledore.

Fan Lin shook his head, he lit the lamp in the screaming shack, and then sat down on the sofa.

For Rita, I really showed enough respect.

Think about it, there are magic patterns all over Hogwarts, dark magic information, and even, he has to use black magic to make sure Rita takes the bait.

This is really too much of a fuss.

Fanlin suddenly thought of what methods Rita used.

She is an illegal Animagus. As long as she follows the magical structure of transformation, she can naturally locate Rita easily.

There are not many people in Hogwarts who have mastered the Animagus. Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and as for Dumbledore...

Well... Dumbledore is not sure yet, but once the scope is narrowed down to a certain level, it will naturally not be so troublesome, for example, to catch an inconspicuous bug in a confined space. (To be continued)
