Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 654 Excited Beetle

In the blink of an eye, half of January has passed. During this half month, many things happened at Hogwarts.

First of all, Hagrid was retained for probation. Regarding this matter, not everyone felt sad, even Hagrid himself didn't take it very seriously.

"To be honest, this is expected." Hagrid said relaxedly to Harry and the others who cared about him: "Umbridge just wanted to drive Dumbledore's followers out of the school, but it doesn't matter , Even if I leave the school, I can still contribute to the Order of the Phoenix, and I am very relieved that Glop has your help to take care of him."

Then came the new Education Order, which forbade teachers from giving students any information not related to the subjects they were teaching.

This caused strong dissatisfaction among the students, and many people (mainly Gryffindor) began to confront Umbridge in various ways, even if they were imprisoned by her.

Weasley's Wizard Wheezes became the biggest winner, and George and Fred's orders skyrocketed, even two months later.

Then there was Harry's Occlumency class, and Harry's mental exhaustion was nothing compared to Snape's nasty attitude.

The only exception was on January 1th when Fish asked Harry to help bring Snape his birthday present.Although Snape was still indifferent that night, he basically didn't taunt him.

Harry actually had a problem with the fact that Fish gave Snape a birthday present, but it was precisely because Maomao gave Snape a present that his situation was better... This made Harry feel very happy is complicated.

On the second Saturday morning after the Christmas break, Harry and Ron were in the library doing their homework.

Even with so many things happening, the fifth grade class is still heavy. Harry has to do his homework, have Quidditch training, and participate in the activities of the cat club. Going to learn Occlumency from Snape...

While Harry was worrying about his homework, Hermione came over with the tabby cat in one hand and a book in the other, and sat down opposite them.

She put Fish on her lap, spread out the book as thick as a stone brick, and said in a low voice without raising her head: "After one o'clock this afternoon, avoid other people and go to the Room of Requirement." trip."

"What?" Harry and Ron looked at her in surprise.

However, Hermione still kept her head down, pretending to be reading a book, "Don't look up!" She warned in a low voice, "I saw Umbridge on the way here, she might come over anytime."

Harry and Ron quickly looked away, and scratched randomly on the parchment with a quill.

"What's going on?" Harry asked, lowering his voice.

"You'll know when you come." Hermione replied briefly, then fell silent.

Harry wanted to ask again, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Umbridge's plump pink figure, and he could only shut his mouth resentfully.

After Umbridge came in, he kept walking around Harry and the others. The librarian Mrs. Pince was very dissatisfied with this. She kept staring at Umbridge, but he didn't care at all. On the road, I still walked around the library in my own way.

The students in the library all showed disgusted expressions, and some people got up and left one after another, Harry and Ron were no exception, only Hermione was still looking at her book, and stroking her lap lying on her lap from time to time cat cat.

After that, Umbridge simply sat where Harry had been before, staring at Hermione with a pair of toad eyes.

Hermione ignored her directly, quietly flipping through the thick book in front of her.

After a stalemate with Hermione for a while, Umbridge snorted coldly and left the library haughtily.

……

Not long after lunch, Fish came to the open space outside the castle by himself. Because the temperature has been low recently and the snow has been cleared, there are not many people in the open space, but it is already frozen. There are many people skating on the Black Lake.

Fish turned into a cat, climbed up a tree and lay down, wagging his tail leisurely, as if he was just out to bask in the sun as usual, so Umbridge watched by the window for a while, then turned Turned to stare at George and Fred.

However, what she didn't notice was that a beetle flew from a distance and landed on Maomao's head.

After a while, Fish jumped down from the tree, slipped back to the castle with a beetle on his back, and came to the Room of Requirement.

"Long time no see, Fish." Skeeter changed back into a human form, greeted Maomao with a smile, "Is the pen I gave you still usable?"

"Easy to use is easy to use... Unfortunately, it was confiscated by Minerva, meow..."

(〃｀3〃)
Fish pursed his lips and complained unhappily: "She said that she still needs to write homework by herself in order to learn something, and Fish is not allowed to meow with the quill you gave me."

"Oh, there's nothing I can do about it." Skeeter smiled and spread his hands, then asked, "Where's your little girlfriend?"

"Hermione went to find Luna, meow."

"Luna?" Skeeter didn't know who this person was, but he didn't ask too much, but began to care about Maomao's recent situation.

"Umbridge didn't trouble you after that, did he?" she asked with concern.

"Of course not meow!"

Mao Mao shook her head triumphantly, "Fei Xu, be careful! She won't be able to catch Fish!"

"It's better to pay attention," Skeeter reminded: "According to the information I collected, this guy is not easy to deal with. She has done a lot of shady things in order to climb up in the Ministry of Magic." Things... and she is now cornered, so be careful that she jumps over the wall in a hurry."

A long time ago, Skeeter actually had some black information about Umbridge, and when he knew that Fish was going to deal with her, Skeeter went to collect it specially, and what Umbridge did later It would be so easy to be discovered by the investigation team of the Ministry of Magic, but Rita Skeeter has made great efforts in it.

But Fish was not worried at all, if Umbridge really jumped the wall, Maomao would be able to justifiably beat her up again!What a pity that Umbridge didn't react the last time he used Veritaserum on himself!
Hmm... definitely not because the snacks Umbridge gave were delicious!
While the two were talking, the door of the Room of Requirement was pushed open, and Hermione walked in with Luna.

"Hello, Miss Granger." Rita Skeeter greeted Hermione with a smile, then looked at Luna who was dressed strangely, and asked, "Would you like to introduce me?"

"Luna Lovegood, a fourth-year student of Ravenclaw..." Hermione paused and said, "At the same time her father was also the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler."

"The Quibbler"?!" Skeeter raised his voice two octaves. "So, you're going to ask me to put the report in this ridiculous magazine? Even if I want to, other people will believe that this has always been A magazine known for gibberish?"

"My dad's magazine isn't talking nonsense!" Luna protested, staring into her big eyes.

In fact, if she could choose, Hermione didn't want to go to Luna, because she also felt that the magazine "The Quibbler" was unreliable, but the "Daily Prophet" was already controlled by the Ministry of Magic, and she really couldn't find any other magazine that dared to publish the truth. newspapers.

Or... only the Quibbler dared to publish the truth about Voldemort.

Of course, Hermione couldn't say that when facing Rita Skeeter...

"Some people won't believe it," she analyzed calmly, "but the Daily Prophet's report on the Azkaban prison break has big loopholes, and I think many people will wonder if there is a better explanation. If there is another theory, even if it is published in a..." She glanced at Luna, "Well... a special publication, I think they will be willing to read it."

Rita Skeeter nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that you didn't ask Fish to contact me just because your head was hot."

"Well, suppose I agree to write it," she asked after a moment of silence, "How much will I be paid?"

"I don't think Papa will pay someone to write articles," Luna said dreamily. "They write because they feel honored, and of course, they also want to see their names in the newspapers."

Rita immediately put on a bad face, "You want me to write for nothing?"

"You want money, meow? Fish can give it to you."

(ΦωΦ)つ

Mao Mao took out a handful of coins from his pocket and handed them over, "Is this enough, meow?"

"Ah...that's unnecessary..." Skeeter waved his hand, declining Fish's kindness.

Just then, the door was pushed open again, and Harry and Ron came in quickly.

"Ha! Another party is here!" Skeeter said with a smile.

And Harry and Ron were taken aback when they saw Skeeter.

"Rita Skeeter?! Why are you here?"

If Harry were to make a list of the most hated people, then Rita Skeeter would definitely be in the top five, and he wasn't sure who was more annoying than Aunt Paige or her.

"Rita is going to do an interview for us, meow!"

(≧≦)
Fish replied happily.Then Hermione added it in detail.

"Report the truth about Voldemort's resurrection that night?! Of course I would!" Harry agreed without hesitation after hearing Hermione's explanation.

Although everyone in the school believed them, more people were still kept in the dark by the Ministry of Magic, which made Harry very angry. He had long wanted to expose all this. It would be great if Mlich was driven away.

"How about it, Rita?" Hermione looked at Skeeter and said half-advocately and half-suggestively, "If you're worried about retaliation from the Ministry of Magic, you can also choose to use a pseudonym."

"The person whose name cannot be mentioned... is really back?" Skeeter confirmed with a serious expression.

"Of course!"

"Fisch didn't lie to me, meow!"

"Okay then... I'll write this report, and..." Rita Skeet nodded, opened her crocodile leather bag, pulled out a piece of parchment, and held up the shorthand quill, "Just use My real name will be published."

She raised her eyebrows at the surprised Hermione, and explained excitedly: "Although I may temporarily lose my job for a period of time after the article is published, when the mysterious man announces his return, my reputation will definitely increase a lot." , and no one will think that I am talking nonsense...Compared with what I can get, whether I get paid or not is simply irrelevant!"
