Hogwarts The Dark Arts Awakening

The British wizarding world is in chaos, and the Ministry of Magic in England is in full swing. If you just look at today's "Daily Prophet," it seems that this is really the case.

The murderer who committed the terrible murder in Little Hangleton was photographed in the dragnet set up by the Auror office. He had to flee in a hurry and cross the sea. He could no longer threaten the peaceful and peaceful British wizarding society.

Minister Fudge apologized deeply to the International Federation of Wizards for the harassment of Professor Jacob of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and fired the clerk who was rude and abusive from the Ministry of Magic.

As for Umbridge, the director of the Office for the Abuse of Magic, she was suspended for self-reflection due to her inability to control her subordinates. She excitedly expressed that she would learn from this lesson, return to work as soon as possible, and continue to serve wizards...

"The Daily Prophet is pretty good at editing. If I hadn't been there that day, I might have believed it." After reading today's newspaper, Jerry commented disdainfully.

"That's it for the time being. Fudge regards Umbridge as a confidant and refuses to fire her." Lupine sighed and changed the subject, "However, the Ministry of Magic will launch a raid on dark magic items. The investigation into this case will not be completely concluded.”

"The world of adults is really bad. Even his own job of investigating cases can be traded. The Minister of Magic is really a wizard. British wizards are really unlucky."

After Jerry smiled contemptuously, he put down the newspaper and continued practicing magic, but deep down he was actually very satisfied with the result.

After all, if the Ministry of Magic really wanted to go all out to get to the bottom of this, it would not be a good thing for Jerry.

He knew that he was not a natural criminologist, and the hastily arranged arrangement looked fine, but it was not perfect in an absolute sense.

Considering that this is a magical magical world, there is still a possibility of finding something out. It would be great if you can muddle through.

Jerry breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention to the courtyard.He plans to use magic to repair Riddle Mansion before the start of school. The specific plan is almost ready, but the courtyard needs to be carefully considered.

According to various regulations and conventions, the little wizard is indeed subject to very few restrictions before the start of school. As long as he pays attention to confidentiality issues and does not act recklessly in public.

This is mainly due to the phenomenon of magical riots that are difficult to control. The Ministry of Magic cannot prohibit wizard children from venting their magic. Otherwise, it may force the children to become extremely dangerous obscurants.

Accordingly, after the little wizard enters Hogwarts to formally obtain magic education and improve his self-control ability, he will also have to accept strict restrictions and restrictions - from the beginning of school, he cannot cast spells outside the school until he reaches adulthood at the age of 17.

Therefore, Jerry decided to take good care of this century-old house before the start of school to save trouble in the future.

According to the arrangement before Mr. and Mrs. Snow left, Frank Sr. and Jerry moved into Riddle Mansion. Maybe it should be renamed 'Snow Mansion' now?It sounds like it might as well just be called Winterhold.

The Snow family did not originally intend to live here for a long time. They bought Riddle House just because it was close to the old Gaunt house, which made it easier for them to search for possible descendants of the Gaunt family.

Therefore, the Snows naturally did not put much effort into renovating the old house, but only roughly took care of it.

Anyway, Jerry has been practicing magic and repairing the house during this time.Pest removal, mildew removal, and repairs were all done, and now all that was left was basically to use the Stabilization Charm to strengthen the structure of the house.

'Let's check it out. 'Out of caution, Jerry scanned the courtyard and house, and looking back on his maintenance experience during this period, he felt that there was nothing he had missed.

Insects and bread have become the meals of white-faced scops owls and sky-blue poison frogs. The mold spots in hidden places have also been eradicated one by one, and the wear and tear caused by the passage of time has been repaired as much as possible.

Even the flowers and plants in the courtyard were well taken care of by Old Frank. At this time, many flowers were in full bloom, and the fragrance of the flowers was overflowing and refreshing.

It even attracted many beetles of different colors, lying on the grass and flowers to suck sap.Among them, the dark green fat beetle was crawling not far from Luping's feet.

Wait, a dark green, fat beetle?

The beetle's appearance went directly into Jerry's mind, and in an instant an annoying name came out of his mouth - Rita Skeeter.

It's not that Jerry's memory is very good, or how much he attaches importance to this unsightly character. The reason why he can think of him so quickly is because of his previous experience of being pestered by the registrar when he went to the main office of the Daily Prophet.

And because Rita Skeeter's name appeared many times in the Daily Prophet during this period, she wrote a lot of eye-catching and deceptive stuff.

'You still have to confirm your identity. It would be funny if it turned out to be a battle of wits and courage with a real beetle. Jerry made up his mind and turned to Lupine to continue chatting. He was going to try to hang the beetle with a secret.

Of course, it wouldn't be his own secret, and Rita probably wouldn't care about a preschooler's secret.

"This result is not too surprising. Anyway, this is how the Ministry of Magic got things done here half a century ago."

"Are you saying that similar things have happened here before?" Lupine looked a little confused. It seemed that Dumbledore had not explained everything about Little Hangleton to him in detail.

"Didn't Principal Dumbledore tell you? There was a murder case in this house before. A certain wizard killed a family of three with a killing curse." As Jerry spoke, he used the corner of his eye to observe the bird. Big beetle.

Sure enough, the other party reacted after hearing Dumbledore's name. Facing the approaching person, instead of flying away, he got closer.

Apparently, this is Rita Skeeter's Animagus.

'what to do?Add some food to your pet, or use it to make big news? '

Jerry quickly made up his mind. He didn't think he was a good and innocent person, but he wasn't so perverted that he actually fed living people to pets.

Besides, wouldn't it be very bad if the other party cancels the transformation in the belly of his pet, or the body directly changes back to its original shape?

It's better to use it to concoct news first. Maybe you will need this guy in the future.

"Before I came, I didn't ask Dumbledore about the past here." Lupine shook his head, "I didn't expect that such a thing would happen in this village."

"At that time, the Ministry of Magic did not spend much effort to catch the 'murderer' - Morfin Gaunt, the last pure-blood Gaunt."

While talking, Jerry walked over step by step, getting closer and closer to the beetle Animagus. He could catch it with just a single pounce.

"The Ministry of Magic found out the 'truth' without much interrogation, even without using Veritaserum or Legilimency. Morfin confessed on the spot." Jerry continued to explain this old incident, with a smile on his face. Not smiling.

"He confessed the details of the crime and claimed that he was proud of it and had wanted to do it for a long time. The test results of his wand also clearly showed traces of the Death Curse. As a result, Morfin was naturally captured in Azka Ben, died there.”

Lupine did not speak immediately, but the look of confusion on his face was clearly asking - why did the young man say that the Ministry of Magic was careless 50 years ago? Hasn't this been clarified?

Jerry did not continue to lie, and solved the other party's doubts in a few words, "Principal Dumbledore told me that he had visited Morfin and discovered a lot of things, and also revealed some inside information about the case to me. After all, I also The last name is Gaunt.”

"The real culprit behind the Riddle House massacre more than 50 years ago was actually not Morfin Gunter, but Morfin's nephew."

"Then why did Morfin say that he was the murderer?" Lu Ping was very puzzled after hearing this. Could it be that Morfin chose to take the blame to protect his nephew?What happened to the wand?

"In Morfin's view at the time, he was the one who killed the Riddle family, and he remembered it very 'clearly'."

Then Jerry explained the mystery in detail, both to Lupine, who was already an acquaintance, and to Rita, who came uninvited.

"Dumbledore explained the inside story of the case to me and Frank Sr.: Morfin's nephew, Tom Marvolo Riddle, son of Merope Gaunt, attacked Morfin and took away his wand; then He used the stolen wand to kill three members of Riddle's family; and finally used a complex magic to modify Morfin's memory, making him the scapegoat and dying unjustly."

Lu Ping's expression was very solemn when he heard the inside story of the case. It wasn't until he reviewed the names of those involved that his expression suddenly changed. "Wait a minute, the real murderer and the deceased both have the last name Riddle. Are they related?"

"Oh! I forgot to mention it before." Jerry added in a low voice, "Tom Marvolo Riddle is not only the nephew of the scapegoat Morfin, but also the illegitimate son of the deceased Tom Riddle."

This shocking fact shocked Lupine. From this, he deduced that Tom Marvolo Riddle personally killed his biological father's family and conveniently tricked his uncle to death!

"Why would he do this? I mean, is this too vicious?" Lupine was almost incoherent, and the beetle also jumped up.

Jerry's previous guess was correct. This fat dark green beetle was Rita Skeeter. She was very excited now.

The truth about the destruction of the Gaunt family, one of the 28 pure-blood families, can be considered big news to some extent, especially when the source of the news is said to be Dumbledore.

Rita had always wanted to come over after learning from her colleague and friend Betty the address of the witness in the murder case at the Gunter House in Little Hangleton.

The reason why it was delayed until today was because during this period, she and other colleagues were busy making up the 'truth' for the Ministry of Magic.Now that this work has come to an end, she naturally sneaked over - since the other party was unwilling to be interviewed, there was no need to bother him, just listen.

Facing this uninvited guest, Jerry selectively explained the inside story - based on what Dumbledore told him, naturally it would not be the whole truth.

No matter how honest he was, Dumbledore would not tell an 11-year-old boy how a witch used a love potion to charm the squire's son and create life with it.

If all of this is told, wouldn’t it become a story about a sex-restricted and evil depravity?Old Frank had to use his shovel to chase people away.

As a result, what Dumbledore told Jerry and what Jerry told today were completely edited and turned into a dark version of Cinderella's story.

"Merope, the witch of the Gaunt family, eloped with Tom, the only son of the squire Riddle family, the owner of the house, and became pregnant; later, the old Tom came back alone and said that Merope had been deceived. He; finally, his son Tom Jr. also came back..."

Jerry himself felt that this statement was not very good. Although Old Tom had a bad reputation among the local population, this matter could not be entirely attributed to him.

If you think about it carefully, what is the difference between Merope's behavior and that of a charming girl? It's just that she used wizards' love potion, while Muggles used sleepy black tea.

However, theoretically speaking, Jerry should know this version, which is similar to what little Tom knew.

After telling this story, Jerry nodded slightly as he saw Lupine and Beetle staying where they were, looking like they were sighing.

Jerry was curious whether Rita would publish this story in newspapers and what kind of reward she would receive for it - generally speaking, Voldemort didn't like others discussing him, especially his Muggle biological father.

To stand out from the crowd, and to bury the past, Tom Marvolo Riddle reorganized his name into the Lord of Death.He even put a spell on his name. Whenever someone mentions his name, he can sense the other person's location and seal his mouth with magic, once and for all.

Of course the first group of Death Eaters knew the name of their boss, after all, they were Tom's classmates when he was at Hogwarts.

Although they are all probably dead now, these secrets are likely to be passed on to their descendants.

In addition, Voldemort may have revealed some of his past to some of his capable men, such as Barty Crouch Jr., for certain purposes.

However, these two types of people are now either detained in Azkaban looking at the sea view or somewhere else, or they keep silent about the past and claim to have been under the Imperius Curse.

Dumbledore, who once traced the origin of Voldemort, did not publicly publicize his life experience. Therefore, Voldemort is still as mysterious in the public eye as his nickname "You-Know-Who".

In short, Voldemort's original name and life are a mystery to most people, and Lupine and Rita are also among these ordinary people.

'You should publish this story in the newspaper, right?It would definitely have to be made up. 'Jerry stared at Rita's transformed dark green beetle and thought silently in his heart.

He is looking forward to the impact this report will have, but before that, there are still some things that need to be dealt with - utilization and cleanup are not actually contradictory.

"The jar is coming!" Jerry suddenly cast the flying spell, summoned an open glass jar, and caught the conspicuous fat dark green beetle.

Then, he repeated his old tricks to get the lid, turned the can upside down and quickly screwed it on, sealing it quickly.

Finally, another firming spell was cast, making the jar unbreakable and preventing the prey from escaping by changing back to its original form.

Jerry completed the entire process in one go, leaving little time for Rita Skeeter to react. Lupine looked confused.
