HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Lycoris lets Rita Skeeter go.

She did not threaten Rita Skeeter with a one-year hiatus because her animagus was not registered with the Ministry of Magic, as Hermione had done.

It is very unethical to block people's money.

Although Rita Skeeter does have no sense of morality, she has a heart for fame.

She wants fame and profit for herself.

Not a contradiction, is it?

Lycoris knew that Rita Skeeter was a former student of Ravenclaw, and her strength was not to mention.

She was able to practice Animagus by herself without anyone to communicate with.

If we look at the talents of Animagus alone, Lycoris feels that she is stronger than the Gryffindors.

They can discuss things, and there are two smart people among them-Sirius and Potter.

Rita Skeeter is only one person. From the time she started learning Animagus to practicing Animagus to now using Animagus, she has been alone for more than ten years.

Before meeting Hermione, the animagus had not been discovered by anyone.

Licoris saw in her mind the memory of her joining the International Federation of Wizards, a prestigious federation.

It shows that she has real abilities.

As for Rita Skeeter's lack of moral sense, Lycoris thought of one person - Gilderoy Lockhart.

The former used coercion and inducement for his interview - he used money to buy information and also threatened others with words. Use Veritaserum on the top and Animagus on the bottom.

The latter pretends to be a good guy for the sake of his own creation and erases other people's memories afterwards. Treat other people's stories as your own and gain fame and fortune.

Licoris turned her head and looked at the bottle on the table and smiled. It was true that people with evil intentions were afraid that others would use the same tricks against them.

When she took a bottle of her own potion and said it was Veritaserum, she told the truth—albeit the castrated version.

Didn't expect that I can use Legilimency.

Lycoris subdued her, not using magical oaths or coercion.

I'm not Voldemort, so I can't do that kind of thing of abusing my subordinates.

The exception was when he tried to temper her before - he didn't use the Cruciatus Curse, so it wasn't abuse.

Lycoris knew what Rita Skeeter wanted, she wanted fame and fortune.

She deliberately wrote controversial articles so that they would be explosive.

Rita Skeeter knew how to spread rumors and refute them.

But she doesn't care.

She only cares about whether the article will get royalties, whether the royalties are large enough, and whether they can support her luxurious life.

Can the money you get be used to exchange it for more beautiful gem glasses and a more exquisite crocodile leather bag...

But to say that Rita Skeeter is just in it for the money is completely inaccurate.

Rather than money, she hopes that others will loudly discuss the content of the article when reading the newspaper, and she prefers that other people's attitude toward the person concerned will change because of the article she wrote.

This kind of satisfaction cannot be given by money.

Watching herself manipulate public opinion and play with other people's emotions was one of the things Rita Skeeter found addictive.

Such as the Hagrid incident.

After the article was published, a large number of letters flew to the Ministry of Magic and the Hogwarts Headmaster's Office, demanding Hagrid be expelled - half-blood giants are also giants, what should we do if they harm our children?

After Lycoris reached an agreement with Rita Skeeter, Rita Skeeter was willing to work for her.

Even though her master is an underage wizard, she is scheming enough to kill most adult wizards.

After Licoris finished chatting with Rita Skeeter, she sat down lightly on the desk.

"I give you permission to kiss my shoes."

The girl was dressed in a plain robe like a rich and brocade dress, and she looked at herself as if she were an insect.

Rita Skeeter walked over, and just as she was about to kiss Lycoris's upper, Lycoris held her shoulders.

"I appreciate people like you, don't let me down." Licolis gently patted the woman's right cheek with the back of her hand, her voice cold, "You can go."

Isn’t that appreciation? He deliberately made things difficult for her, but she actually planned to do this.

People who have no bottom line are really scary.

But fortunately, there is nothing detrimental to her in her mind at the moment.
