From Beauxbatons to Hogwarts

Calvin's office in the evening.

A beetle crawled in through a crack in the wall and resumed its human form on the floor.Rita Skeeter took a slow, deep breath. These days of stalking were driving her crazy.

She cursed Calvin in her mind, why he asked her to follow Barty Crouch.Rita now wonders if this descendant of the Holy 28 tribe has any special means at home that can counter Animagus.

The most embarrassing time for her these days was when she was almost caught with a urinal by a house elf; secondly, she triggered a magic restriction in Crouch's house and was infected with a terrible black magic curse - of course this It doesn't matter, she still has a unicorn curse on her.

"Is that gentleman testing me on purpose..."

But now she can no longer hold on. Just yesterday, a staff member of the Office for the Prohibition of Abuse of Magic actually approached the editorial office of the Daily Prophet to investigate whether there were unregistered Animagus.

Damn Crouch!

If she hadn't happened to go out for an interview yesterday, she might have been caught.

Suddenly the lights in the house came on.

Rita was startled, adjusted her glasses, and then saw clearly Calvin standing by the bookshelf in the darkest corner of the office, which made her shiver.

"Ah, Rita, I was planning to go find you tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself."

Calvin said softly, stuffing a book back on the bookshelf.

"Mr. Capet, I..." Rita's voice trembled, but before she could finish speaking, Calvin motioned for her to stop talking.

Calvin pressed his right hand against the wall, and a light yellow ripple spread out with Calvin's hand as the center, and soon spread to the entire office.

After doing all this, Calvin returned to the desk, motioned for Rita to sit opposite, and then asked: "It seems that you are in some trouble, isn't it?"

Rita Skeeter buried her head deeply and whispered, "Yes, Mr. Cape, I'm in some trouble. You asked me to investigate Barty Crouch. I suspect he may be about to discover me." .”

"It seems that you also found that the director of the International Magic Cooperation Department is not simple, right," Calvin smiled, "Then first tell me what interesting things you discovered. You should know that I only protect A valuable person.”

Rita Skeeter lowered her posture and said slowly, "At first, I followed your instructions to follow Barty Crouch, first in his office. It can be said that he was at work. It was very boring and had nothing worth paying attention to. I mean the kind that could be included in the news.

Then I followed him to his house. His house was very well-defended. I had a lot of protective spells, which was very unusual. So I spent three days finding a loophole in these protective spells and successfully got in. . "

Rita suddenly stopped and looked up at Calvin.

"Go on, what did you find in his house?" Calvin's voice showed no attitude.

After several dealings, Rita has learned that it is best not to anger this gentleman. He is both her most terrifying dominator and her greatest resource.

Rita Skeeter took a deep breath and continued: "Barty Crouch's home is almost as boring as his office, and there is no news. There is only one room, located in the basement, the door is closed, and the outside is full of Protective magic.

I stayed there for several days without finding the loophole, but I was sure there was someone there, Barty Crouch's house elf delivering food in and coming out with empty plates every day. "

This news surprised Calvin, "You mean, there is someone hiding in Barty Crouch's family?"

"Yes, sir…"

"Very good, so what happened next?" Calvin's voice sounded a little happy, which made Rita Skeeter breathe a sigh of relief.

"I tried to break through the protective magic outside the basement, but failed. I was almost caught by the house elf." Rita Skeeter tremblingly raised the sleeve on her right arm, revealing a terrifying black magic pattern, "It was also cursed, and the next day employees from the Office for the Abuse of Magic went to the editorial office to check for illegal Animagus."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Rita, I remember I reminded you to be safe when investigating him." Calvin pinched Rita Skeeter's right hand and clicked the black magic on her right arm with the wand, "It seems You were so curious that you forgot my advice, weren’t you?”

"But luckily, you brought good news. I'm very happy." Calvin took out a bottle of magic potion from his sleeve and poured it on Rita Skeeter's right hand. "Be patient, there will be some trouble next." pain."

Before Rita Skeeter could react, a stinging sensation came from her right arm. She didn't even have time to scream. She just made some "ho, ho" sounds with her throat, and saw a black shadow in the air. Under the command of Calvin's wand, it was peeled off from his right arm, along with a bloody mist.

Calvin flicked his wand, and the black shadow burst into dazzling white light and began to burn. It quickly disappeared, leaving only a burning smell in the office.

"These days, you find a place to hide for a while," Calvin said, looking at Rita Skeeter who was slumped in a chair. "I have been moving too frequently these days. I'm afraid he will notice something." ."

Rita Skeeter tried her best to sit upright and asked carefully, "Mr. Capet, are you going to do anything to Barty Crouch?"

Calvin glanced at the still ambitious woman, nodded and said: "That's right, he won't be able to sit in the position of director of the International Magical Cooperation Department for too long. Maybe he will enter Azkaban. Your cooperation is needed.”

Two gleams flashed in Rita's big eyes, "Mr. Capet, I am also very interested in Barty Crouch's secret now."

"Really?" Calvin nodded slightly, "Then tell me, who do you think is hiding in the basement?"

"This?" Rita Skeeter regained a little bit of her anger, "I guess it's a woman. Someone like Crouch who looks serious on the surface must be very dark behind the scenes."

"The death of his wife and son must have hit him hard. Maybe he is almost like a dark wizard now. There must be a woman hidden in the basement to vent his perverted desires."

"I think about it. He looks serious on the outside, but is dark and evil behind the scenes. How about the double life of the director of the Cooperation Department? It must be very attractive."

Calvin sneered, "Rita, you really don't have a long memory. Don't write blindly during this period. Wait for my order."
