Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 531 Beetle and Rita Skeeter

 Anti-freezing, rolling in the snow?

Listening to Kyle's description, Harry always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Just when he wanted to ask, there was a knock on the door again.

It's still not Dumbledore who's here this time.

"Hagrid, how are you? Your affairs are being discussed in the castle now... Oh, I noticed you boiled water. Can you get me a cup of hot tea?"

Seeing the person coming, Harry shouted happily: "Professor Black, why are you here?"

"I've told you many times that you don't need to call me that outside the castle, Harry."

Sirius walked into the room, "Of course it was because I read the newspaper. I originally wanted to ask Professor Dumbledore first, but he didn't know where he went and I couldn't find him."

Hagrid’s room was not big to begin with, but now that five more people were squeezed into it, it seemed even smaller.

Harry and Ron squeezed to the left to make a small space for Sirius.

But ten minutes later... Connor also appeared at the door of the cabin, along with Cedric, Cho, and the Weasley brothers.

This time, the hut was completely packed and they could only stand outside.

Kanna immediately saw Kyle in the room and waved her hand quickly, "No wonder we couldn't find you. It turns out you were here in advance."

“No, I just arrived too.” Kyle explained: “Professor Black and I went to Diagon Alley before, and you were not up yet.”

“Diagon Alley?”

“Well, let’s go to Gringotts to pick up something. We made an appointment during the holidays. I just have time today.”

Kanna nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After all, her main purpose of coming this time was to visit Hagrid.

Seeing this large group of people gathered at the door of his hut, Hagrid began to choke again, but this time it was not because of sadness.

Hagrid originally thought that everyone would avoid him after knowing his identity, but he didn’t expect that so many people would come to visit him.

"Thank you, thank you for coming to me..." Two round tears flowed from Hagrid's eyes and slowly seeped into his beard.

“Hagrid, what are you talking about?” Fred said with a smile, “Our Care of Magical Creatures professor is a hybrid giant. What could be cooler than that?”

“Is it a pure-blood giant?” George raised his eyebrows.

 “There’s no way to disagree.”

 The two high-fived each other tacitly.

"Look, Hagrid, no one here cares what your identity is," Kyle said.

 “But Dumbledore…”

“I believe the principal will not fire you.” Kyle patted his arm.

These people didn't stay here long.

Mainly because it was too cold outside, and so many people couldn't all go inside, so it didn't take long before Hagrid said he wanted to be alone and drove them all back to the castle.

Harry and the others didn't want to leave at first, but Hagrid was very determined and pushed them out of the house without any explanation.

However, as he was leaving, Kyle suddenly saw a beetle crawling out from the open door.

“Yeah, let’s go back.”

After walking out of the hut, Kyle walked up to Kangna and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Fortunately, the newspaper only talked about the hybrid giant and didn't find out about it, otherwise things would only become more troublesome."

 “Which thing?” Kangna asked doubtfully.

"Have you forgotten?" Kyle looked around. "It's not safe here. Let's go back to the castle."

Although Kangna felt a little confused, she still followed Kyle towards the castle.

It wasn't until the two of them came to the foyer that she said tentatively: "You're probably talking about Lu Wei, but it's been so long. It shouldn't be possible to be discovered."

“Yes, you are right, no one will be able to discover Lu Wei.”

Kyle said, he took out a round-mouthed bottle made of multi-flavor beans and slammed it on his shoulder.

 “Dong dong dong…”

There was a clanking sound from the bottle.

 “Is this...a beetle?”

"It's a beetle, but not an ordinary beetle." Kyle stopped the bottle and shook it in his hand, and there was another banging sound in the bottle.

 “Am I right? Ms. Rita Skeeter.”

"Rita..." Connor was startled, "You mean, this beetle is the Rita Skeeter?"

“I’m just doubting it now, but I just need to test it. It’s a simple test... follow me.”

Kyle walked into an empty classroom, put the bottle aside, then opened his deformed lizard skin bag and took out a portable camera and a little guy that looked like a plant bud.

Connor stood nearby, watching curiously as Kyle opened the bottle, took out the beetle inside and handed it to the Bowtruckle.

Bowtruckle thought he could get an extra meal, and he was very happy. Although he liked the beetle more, he would not refuse an extra snack. He would put the beetle into his mouth when he opened his mouth.

However, the next second, the beetle suddenly began to twist, and its entire body became larger and larger.

This scene is all too familiar to Connor, it is the process of transforming from an Animagus back to a wizard.

Soon, there was a woman with curly hair and horn glasses in the empty classroom.

 The Bowtruckle was frightened. It looked at its own hands and then at the sudden appearance of the new person. Then it howled and burrowed into Kyle's pocket.

at the same time…

 “Click!”

Kyle also pressed the shutter of the camera.

"How wonderful. The famous Ms. Rita Skeeter is actually an illegal Animagus." Kyle raised his head and said with a smile: "It seems that the front page of tomorrow's Daily Prophet has been determined in advance. ”

“Damn it, give it to me!” Rita Skeeter went crazy and rushed over to grab the camera from Kyle’s hand.

 But the next second, she flew back at a faster speed, knocking over several tables.

"It's wrong to grab things, Ms. Skeeter." Kyle waved the wand in his hand.

Before Rita Skeeter could stand up, the tables and chairs around her had turned into ropes, tying her tightly from her feet to her neck, making her look like a chrysalis.

And her wand was also kicked aside by a table leg.

"Another illegal Animagus." Connor said with disgust. "No wonder you know so many wizards' secrets. After all, no one would guard against a beetle."

“It’s okay, she always has to pay for the mistakes she made.” Kyle said with a smile, “Illegal Animagus, this alone is enough to send her to keep company with dementors.”

 “Give it to me!” Rita Skeeter yelled again.

She never expected that her always tried and true method would fall into the hands of a student.

It is conceivable that when the photo recording the entire process of her Animagus was released to the public, she was completely finished.

If those people...officials from the Ministry of Magic knew that her Animagus was a beetle and used it to pry around for information, then she would be completely ruined, and she might even be killed silently. .

So she had to take the camera away no matter what, but she also knew in her heart that she couldn't beat Kyle, so using force would definitely not work.

"I know a lot of secrets, Fudge and Dolores Umbridge's, and Ludo Bagman's." Rita Skeeter said hoarsely, "I can trade these, as long as you put the camera Give me."

“Why do I need to know this? I think it’s too idle and will cause some trouble for myself?” Kyle spread his hands and said: “So I’d better put...”

“Then tell me!” Rita Skeeter became anxious, “How can I do it so that you can give it to me? I can write reports and write many reports praising you!”

"I think you must have misunderstood. I didn't mean that, and I don't need you to say good things for me in the newspaper." Kyle frowned slightly, "And we students at Hogwarts will never threaten others. Doing things for yourself is against school rules.”

Kanna pursed her lips and turned her head to the side.

 There is really no such thing in the school rules. This is already within the scope of wizarding law.

"but…"

Kyle continued: “I am in a good mood now, so I decided to wait until the next issue of the Daily Prophet comes out before considering whether to send the photos out.

“If I’m in a good mood by then, I might not post it... This is all possible.”

 “Then I…”

Rita Skeeter wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Kyle.

"It has nothing to do with you, it's just to see how I feel, so I wish you good luck..."

Kyle waved his magic wand, untied the rope from Rita Skeeter, and then pulled Connor directly out of the empty classroom.
