Chapter 652： excited beetle

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

The first is that Hagrid was kept for probation. Not everyone was sad about this, not even Hagrid himself.

"To be honest, this is expected." Hagrid said easily to Harry and the others who were concerned about him: "Umbridge just wants to kick Dumbledore's followers out of the school, but it doesn't matter. , even if I leave school, I can still contribute to the Order of the Phoenix, and I am very relieved that Grapp has you to take care of me."

Then came the new Education Order, which prohibits teachers from giving students any information that is not related to the subjects they teach.

This caused strong dissatisfaction among the students, and many (mainly Gryffindor) began to confront Umbridge in various ways, even if she was incarcerated.

Wesley was the biggest winner, and orders for George and Fred soared, even two months later.

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

The only exception was when Fish asked Harry to help bring his birthday present to Snape on January 9th. That night, although Snape still had a cold attitude, he basically didn't make any sarcasm.

Harry actually had a problem with Fish giving Snape a birthday present, but it was because Catmao gave Snape a present that his situation was better... This made Harry very moody. is complicated.

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

Even with so much going on, the fifth grade classes are still heavy, and Harry has to do homework, do Quidditch training, and participate in cat club activities. Going to Snape to learn Occlumency...

Just as Harry was hurrying with his homework with a gloomy face, Hermione came over with the tabby cat in one hand and the book in the other, and sat down across from them.

She put Fisher on her lap, then 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 the others and go to the Room of Requirement. trip."

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

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

Harry and Ron quickly looked away, scribbling randomly on the parchment with their quills.

"What the **** is going on?" Harry asked, lowering his voice.

"You'll know when you're here," Hermione replied briefly, then kept silent.

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

After Umbridge came in, he kept walking around Harry and the others. Mrs. Pince, the administrator of the library, was very dissatisfied with this. She kept staring at Umbridge, but the other party didn't care at all. , still walking around the library on its own.

The students in the library all showed disgust, 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 from time to time. cat cat.

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

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 arrogantly.

...

Shortly after lunch, Fisch came to the open space outside the castle alone. Because the temperature at the corner of his mouth was low and the snow had been cleared away, there were not many people in the open space. It was already closed. There are many people skating on the icy black lake.

Fish turned into a cat-like appearance, climbed up a tree and lay down, dangling 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 before turning around. Head to George and Fred.

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

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

"Long time no see, Fish." Skeeter changed back to a human form and greeted the cat with a smile, "Is the pen I gave you still working?"

"Easy to use is easy to use... It's a pity that Minerva confiscated it..."

(〃｀3′〃)

Feixu pouted and complained unhappily: "She said that you still have to write the homework to learn things by yourself, and let Feixu use the quill pen you gave me."

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

"Hermione went to Luna, meow."

"Luna?" Skeeter didn't know who it was, but he didn't ask any more, but began to care about the cat's current situation.

"Umbridge didn't bother you after that?" she asked with concern.

"Of course not meow!"

(?`?′?)

Mao Mao shook his head triumphantly, "Feixu be careful! She can't catch Feixu!"

"It's better to be careful," Skeeter reminded: "According to the information I have collected, this guy is not easy to deal with. In order to climb up the Ministry of Magic, she has done a lot of shameful things. Things... and she is now driven to a dead end, be careful of her jumping over the wall."

A long time ago, Skeeter actually mastered some of Umbridge's black material, and when he knew that Fish was going to deal with her, Skeeter went to collect it specially. Later, what Umbridge did It would be so easy to be discovered by the investigation team of the Ministry of Magic, but Rita Skeeter played a big role in it.

It's just that Fish isn't worried at all. If Umbridge really jumps off the wall, Catmao can justifiably beat her again! The last time Umbridge used Veritaserum against him, he didn't respond, what a shame!

Mmmm... definitely not because the dim sum from Umbridge was delicious!

While the two were talking, the door to 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 weirdly, and asked, "Won't you introduce me?"

"Luna Lovegood, Ravenclaw's fourth grader..." Hermione paused and said, "Her father is also the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler."

"The Quibbler?!" Skeeter's voice rose two octaves. "So, you're trying to get me to put the report in this ridiculous magazine? Even if I wanted to, other people would believe this A magazine known for its gibberish?"

"My dad's magazines aren't talking nonsense!" Luna protested disapprovingly, staring at 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" had been controlled by the Ministry of Magic, and she couldn't find anyone else who dared to publish the truth. 's newspapers.

Or... only The Quibbler dares to publish the truth about Voldemort.

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

"Some people won't believe it," she analyzed calmly, "but the Daily Prophet's coverage of Azkaban's escape is so flawed, I think a lot of people will wonder if there's a better explanation. If there's another way of saying it, even if it's in a..." She glanced at Luna, "Well...a special issue, I think they'd be willing to read it."

Rita Skeeter nodded thoughtfully, "It doesn't seem like you asked Fish to contact me when your head was hot."

"Well, let's say I agree to write," she asked after a moment of silence. "How much will you pay me?"

"I don't think Dad would pay someone to write an article," Luna said dreamily. "It's an honor for them to write, and of course, to see their name in the paper."

Rita suddenly put on a stinky face, "Want me to write for nothing?"

"You want money? Feixu can give it to you."

(?ΦΦ?)つ

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

"Ah... that's not necessary..." Skeeter waved his hand and declined Fish's kindness.

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

"Ha! Another client is here too!" 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, Rita Skeeter would have to be in the top five, and he wasn't sure who Aunt Paige hated more than her.

"Rita wants to give us an interview meow!"

?(?≧?≦?)?

Fisher happily replied. Then Hermione added 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 being kept in the dark by the Ministry of Magic, which made Harry very angry. He wanted to expose all this for a long time. It would be better if Mrich drove away.

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

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

"certainly!"

"Feixu didn't lie, meow!"

"Well...I'll write this report, and..." Rita Skitt nodded, opened her alligator bag, pulled out a piece of parchment, and held up a shorthand quill, "just use My real name to publish."

She raised an eyebrow 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'm talking nonsense... Compared to what I can get, it doesn't matter whether I get paid or not!"
