Chapter 289 So Hard!
Luna brought a message and left soon, and she had to ride her "little donkey" backwards to distribute Christmas gifts from door to door.
William and Hermione walked Luna to the side of the road and watched her go into the snowstorm.
The unicorn gradually disappeared, and Luna's ethereal singing sounded from a distance, like the sound of heaven.
Tsk tsk...William always feels that Luna has a fairy spirit. If she pretends to be a magic stick, she should be more charming than Professor Trelawney.
William took Hermione's hand, crossed the small bridge, and returned to the house.
He stopped suddenly.
"What's wrong, William?" Hermione wondered.
"A wizard has come in!" William took out his wand.
He looked around, but found nothing.
Strangely, he clearly felt the guardian spell set around him, and detected the approach of the wizard.
The most important thing is that he set the Fidelity Curse, without permission, it is impossible for strange wizards to come in!
Mrs. Norris, who had been squatting by the window as a wooden sculpture, suddenly bent down and grinned at William's back, issuing a warning.
"A beetle!" said Hermione in surprise.
She poked it quickly with her wand, and the beetle flew up, ready to run.
William was taken aback, there are still beetles in winter?As if remembering something, he aimed his wand at the beetle.
"Show yourself from the form!"
His wand glowed blue and white, and it hit the beetle.
The beetle hung in midair, its little green body writhing wildly, and fell to the floor.
Another blinding flash, and then like a quick shot of a tree growing:
A head appeared on the ground, limbs stretched out, and after a while, a woman appeared.
The woman has delicate hair with large, foreign-style wavy curls. She wears a pair of jeweled glasses, and she grabs an alligator leather handbag with her fat fingers. The nails are two inches long and are painted red, like bone spirits.
— Rita Skeeter!
William recognized the woman immediately.
He raised his eyebrows and laughed.
interesting,
Interesting……!
According to the results of the Ministry of Magic's registration, there were only eight registered Animagus in the [-]th century, including William.
This number was pitifully small, and William knew that there must be many illegal Animagus.
If Professor McGonagall hadn't known about William's study progress, he probably wouldn't have reported it.
But among these eight people, the woman Rita Skeeter is definitely not included.
Which means one thing, Rita is an illegal Animagus.
No wonder she can always get precious information. It turns out that she is an Animagus or a beetle... She is indeed a student from Ravenclaw.
Just excellent...
Nonsence!
William suddenly felt very embarrassed. Three Defense Against the Dark Arts professors in a row were all from Ravenclaw... Rita was also... this?
The whole world is deliberately targeting my cute eagle sauce?
I'm Ravenclaw... that's a place where outstanding talents are cultivated. How come it seems that all the scum are cultivated?
Shouldn't Slytherin be cleansed, rectify his name or something?
William sighed.
"Where is this place, why am I here?"
As expected of being a reporter, Rita broke into someone's house illegally, but she showed a confused expression, as if she appeared here because of the turbulence of time and space.
Illegal Animagus is a felony. Once discovered, the Azkaban annual ticket is indispensable. She will definitely pretend to be crazy and confuse the public.
Rita seemed to see William suddenly, and said in surprise:
"Oh, Mr. Stark, finally seeing you? Why did I appear here?"
"Is this your home?"
Carrying a small crocodile leather bag, she wandered around.
"Great, that's right—great," said Rita Skeeter. "Now, let me think about..."
"How about an exclusive interview? I have written to you several times, wanting to interview you, but I have not received any reply.
Now is a good opportunity, I guarantee that you will be on the headlines of major newspapers at night, and your reputation will be further improved!
You don't object to taking notes with a shorthand quill, do you?This way I can free up my hands and talk to you normally..."
Rita reached into her alligator purse and pulled out a long, bright green quill and a roll of parchment.
She stuffed the tip of the green quill into her mouth, rolled her tongue, and licked it relished for a while.
Then, she held the pen vertically on the parchment.The quill trembled slightly, spraying out a large amount of ink juice, which landed on the white paper.
"Come on, is there a private room, just you and me, a one-on-one interview... let's start a wonderful Christmas?"
In just a few minutes, Rita turned into a guest, as if no beetles had ever appeared, and she was just an ordinary reporter.
And this, too, was an unremarkable interview.
"It's okay to have a separate room, but the living room is fine." William sat down on the sofa, showing a harmless smile.
"I know you——Rita Skeeter. Aunt Rita, since you're here, you're a guest. What would you like to drink?"
"Auntie...!!" Rita silently took a deep breath, feeling her internal injuries being suffocated.
It was the first time someone called her Auntie!
"Fire whiskey, no ice, thanks!"
"Well, okay, then pour Auntie a cappuccino."
William waved his wand, and the teapot on the table automatically brewed a cup of coffee, which floated into Rita's hand.
"..." Rita told herself: Be normal, don't get angry.
Her eyes fell on Hermione, apparently attracted by the cat's tail, and she looked excited.
Really big news.
Stimulate!
Sure enough, I came to the right place.
The stylus began to write quickly.
William snapped his fingers, and the sketch pen stopped.
Rita froze for a moment, she didn't expect William to be able to... cast spells without a staff.
Sure enough, the rumors are true!Stark is very powerful, unlike ordinary wizards.
"Rita, I heard Uncle Newt mention you." William said softly.
"Oh, that report?" Rita frowned. Scamander certainly didn't have a good word for her.
This is troublesome, preconceived ideas will greatly reduce the impression points, which is not conducive to her interview.
"I know, you are good at distorting facts, and you always want to make big news when you have nothing to do." William pushed the glasses that didn't exist on his face.
"Oh, William, I think you've misunderstood me on this one, I'm just reporting it as it is.
You can't be fooled by that old scoundrel in Scamander, who Picquery still misses. "
"Never forgetting and having an affair are two different things."
William's smile gradually subsided, and he said expressionlessly: "And I don't want to talk to you about it now."
"You used Animagus to turn into a beetle and sneak into my house, what do you mean?!"
"Son, I didn't break into your house. I was outside. I don't know how I got here."
And you misunderstood, I was drinking compound soup. "
"Rita, don't forget that I can also be an Animagus, so I can clearly distinguish the difference between the two."
William glanced at Hermione out of the corner of his eye, then pulled a bottle of Veritaserum from his pocket.
He shook, dragging his voice like Snape, and said:
"Don't admit it? Just one drop, you can tell your secret, do you want to taste salty and light, without any additives."
"It's against the law!" Rita immediately went to get her wand.
But William was faster, with a flick of his wand.
The pillows on the sofa turned into ropes, binding Rita's hands and wrapping her whole body, hanging her from the ceiling.
"You turned into a beetle and sneaked into my house. It's understandable that I accidentally caused a magic riot, after all..." William said softly.
"I'm still a child!"
"Professor Dumbledore and Minister Fudge will understand me, but you are different, a liar full of lies, or an illegal Animagus... right?"
Rita took a breath as she realized she had hit a hard ball.
硬，
So tough!
Much tougher than Scamander!
