Chapter 213 Reporter Rita Skeeter Reports for You
Chapter 213 Reporter Rita Skeeter reports for you
"Professor Snape said that he is the person Voldemort trusts the most." Harry dragged his chanting tone and spoke with an ambiguous meaning.
Dumbledore shook his head: "Tom is different from us. He doesn't understand love."
He waved his wand.
The magic carefully packed up the corpse, sealed it with a spell, and stuffed it into the corner of the office.
"I have been wondering what Senior Tom wants from me." Harry sat down, waved his wand, took out a bottle of whiskey for himself, and then poured a glass. "At first I thought it would be a Gryffindor relic."
This sentence attracted a motorcycle and a painting to look over.
"I didn't expect that he wanted me." Harry took a sip of the wine, "It really feels like a dragon trying to snatch the princess."
"Princess Harry, I don't think you should drink dragon blood whiskey." Dumbledore frowned, and the strong smell choked him a little.
"Maybe the dragon will lose interest after knowing that the princess is an alcoholic." Harry joked.
Dumbledore sat down and poured himself a glass of syrup.
Rita looked at them with a complicated look.
Do powerful wizards have strange habits?
One drinks thick syrup, and the other drinks strong alcohol.
"Why would he want me?" Harry tilted his head back, "Does he know about the Horcruxes?"
"I don't think so." Dumbledore shook his head, "There is not such a big correlation between the Horcruxes and their owners."
"And there is no need to carry the Horcruxes with you."
Harry waved his wand and the cup fell back on the table: "Then why would he want me."
Dumbledore was silent for a long time before he threw out an opinion: "Maybe he also knows the spell that Lily cast on you and wants to study and break it?"
"Or, it's about the prophecy."
Harry nodded: "And that child."
"He has never seen that child, and he has never seen Voldemort."
Dumbledore didn't speak.
Rita was tangled up, she wanted to cover her ears, it was foreseeable that the next news would be absolutely extraordinary, and every word she heard would bring her one step closer to death.
But she couldn't bear it.
Such a big news, listen to it.
"So the child is his and Barty Crouch Jr.'s?" Harry spoke after a moment of silence.
Dumbledore couldn't help it, choked by this sentence, and coughed repeatedly.
Rita's face turned green.
She immediately regretted it, raised her hand and slapped herself hard, crisp and pleasant.
Everyone knew it was not a good thing, why should I listen, why should I listen!
No one paid attention to her madness.
"I remember Professor Snape said that Senior Tom allowed Barty Crouch Jr. to call him father." Before Dumbledore could recover, Harry added this sentence expressionlessly.
Breaking into the women's bathroom at night and seducing mature and overly mature women, Senior Tom's sinful life has added another perverted color.
Rita's eyes widened, and she raised her hand to slap herself again.
Mr. Potter, you can't do this.
Next time you tell me such explosive news, give me a warning in advance so that I can plug my ears.
Oh my God.
What did I hear in my ears.
Dumbledore hesitated for a while, and sighed heavily: "Harry, what you said makes sense and is very likely, but this child is not that important."
He paused.
"In fact, I thought of a very ancient black magic."
Harry looked at him.
"A special potion prepared at the cost of several lives." Dumbledore continued softly, "It can provide a temporary body for those wandering souls who have not yet set foot in death."
"Let them escape the pull of death and survive."
"This black magic is very evil, and the body created is very fragile. It requires human lives, a lot of human lives, to maintain it."
Harry suddenly realized and nodded: "So Senior Tom dare not see people."
Dumbledore responded.
"Then what does this have to do with him wanting me?" Harry asked.
Dumbledore shook his head: "I'm afraid I still need to look through the books. There are too many dark magics, even I don't know much."
Harry stood up and put away the cup: "Then I'll go back and rest. Miss Skeeter wants to interview you. She is a little worried about being retaliated by the Death Eaters."
Dumbledore nodded and agreed readily: "Of course."
Rita stood up with an ugly face: "Before that, I think I have to go to the bathroom. Oh, no, it's better to find Madam Pomfrey."
She has been soaking in the water for more than a month, and Coban Yaxley will not be so kind to change the water for her.
Women are very fragile creatures.
That kind of disease does not necessarily need to be spread through specific behaviors. Soaking in dirty water for more than a month will also cause that disease.
It is really important to keep hygiene.
Professor Dumbledore sent her there very considerately. Madam Pomfrey is a good hand at dealing with this kind of problem.
It is difficult for young people to realize the importance of hygiene. Even if there are house elves to help clean, it is difficult to keep it clean and tidy.
Harry returned to the lounge.
The little lions were making a lot of noise. Harry's absence today did not affect them at all.
Ron held Crookshanks in his arms and concentrated on reading "Powerful Potion".
Hermione looked tired, with an unnatural blush on her cheeks.
"Harry, you're back. How is Sirius?" When Harry came closer, Hermione lowered her voice and asked with concern.
"It's okay, he's still alive after some torture." Harry sat next to her, "I put him in confinement for half a year and let Uncle Remus watch him."
Ron raised his head, moved his hips, and leaned closer: "Sirius doesn't seem to have the temperament to stay for half a year."
"He should calm down." Harry shook his head, "He puts too much pressure on himself."
As he said that, he paused and looked at Hermione: "Hermione, what's going on with you today?"
"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Hermione asked blankly.
"How many times did you use the Time-Turner?" Harry asked directly.
A trace of panic flashed across Hermione's face: "There are no repeated classes today, so of course I haven't used them."
"You told me last year that you couldn't abuse that thing." Harry said with a straight face and a serious tone, "Then you threw these words away yourself?"
Hermione lowered her head, looking pitiful.
"I know you put a lot of pressure on yourself, but don't be in a hurry." Harry sighed and comforted him, "You are a very good little witch, there is no need to be so eager for success."
Hermione looked up, wanting to say something.
"Take your time, I'll stay with you." Harry interrupted her and spat out a few words.
Ron sighed and lowered his head to read.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come together.
Rita Skeeter has not published an article for several months, and many of her loyal readers have sent letters to the newspaper asking why, and they are waiting anxiously.
The Daily Prophet's top reporter is finally back.
And brought several earth-shattering reports.
Printed on the front page was an exclusive interview with Albus Dumbledore - which surprised everyone. Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard of the century, had always been media-resistant.
No reporter has ever been able to interview him.
But Rita Skeeter did it, and in this article, Dumbledore talks about his time at Hogwarts and the time after he became headmaster.
Although he did not mention his experience from joining Hogwarts to becoming the vice-principal, such an article satisfies many people's curiosity about Dumbledore.
It turns out he is this kind of person.
The third page, whose importance is only below the front page, is an exclusive interview with Harry Potter - as one of the warriors of the Triwizard Tournament, this is his first interview.
This article does not contain much conversation between Skeeter and Harry Potter, but it quotes a lot of comments about Harry from professors and students at Hogwarts.
Many wizards whose families did not study at Hogwarts were surprised to know that Harry Potter had become the successor of Gryffindor.
And in Godric's Hollow, there is also an elf blacksmith shop selling models of the Sword of Gryffindor.
The two reports, which occupied relatively important pages, caused a sensation together, far less than Rita's last short report, which was placed in the corner of the newspaper.
In this report, Rita wrote in detail what she did during her disappearance.
In this report, she claimed to have investigated the real cause of the death of Mr. Barty Crouch, the Director of International Exchange at the Ministry of Magic. He did not die in an accident, but was murdered!
But it wasn't the Ministry of Magic who murdered him.
But his biological son.
She published Cobain Yaxley's words in the newspaper almost verbatim.
Fudge had a terrible headache.
The Aurors didn't know about this, so where did Rita Skeeter get the news?
This doesn't look like fake news either, Rita wrote in great detail about the night of Crouch's death - Dumbledore informed the Ministry of Magic, Scrimgeour went to find Crouch, but ended up at Hogwarts They meet, a fight breaks out, and a spell kills Crouch and his house elves during the fight.
Rita helped the Auror Office fill in these details that had not been announced to the public.
For a time, the Ministry of Magic exploded.
Many people even clamored to capture Rita and imprison her in Azkaban, but they were just clamoring, and no one had the courage to really do it.
The front page also featured her exclusive interview with Dumbledore.
Who knows what their relationship is?
Outside Hogwarts, it was a mess.
Hogwarts was not affected too much by this incident. Rita did not expose the fact that Moody had been replaced, although many smart little wizards could guess that this was possible.
But this kind of thing is forgotten after everyone discusses it for a few days.
As time passes, the end of the school year gradually arrives.
The little wizards were overwhelmed by the final exams, and the only thing that could support them was the upcoming Triwizard Tournament.
And right at the beginning of June.
June 7th.
Harry finally got the thunderstorm he had been waiting for for half a year.
