Hogwarts: I am the Wizard of Goblins

Chapter 76



For Shane, Wizarding Weekly is an entertainment magazine that reports lace news, and it is of little use.

But the other two are completely different......

The Daily Prophet usually covers current events and advertisements, such as the Gringotts theft and Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts professor recruitment.

As a result, its seemingly serious and high-sounding nature has led to it being the main source of information for the British wizarding community, and its credibility has always been the highest in the hearts of the people.

But at the same time, the Daily Prophet, as an official media outlet that is not entirely controlled by the Ministry of Magic, has been a thorn in the side of the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

Ever since Fudge took over as Minister of Magic, his lust for power has been expanding.

In order to consolidate his power, he has always wanted to take full control of the entire Daily Prophet, and there is even gossip that he wants to bring Gringotts into his sphere of influence.

It's just that the existence of a special correspondent for the Daily Prophet newspaper has led to the failure of Fudge's plan to completely manipulate public opinion in the British wizarding world.

And this reporter is Rita Skeeter, the beetle Animag ~ Si who is extremely fond of exaggerating the truth and describing the news in all kinds of fanciful language in the original book.

As you can see from the usual content of the Daily Prophet, nine times out of ten, the sections she writes are negative news about the Ministry of Magic and Fudge.

At the same time, it is interesting to note that the news is without exception based on certain facts.

Of course, that's just a little bit......

When Rita Skeeter writes news, she will attach all kinds of logical conjectures that conform to "people's love" to these facts, and expand them, conjecture, idealize, and visualize them for no reason.

The main focus is on the supremacy of sales and eyeballs, regardless of the truth, which often brings great pressure and trouble to the protagonist of the news content.

And the reason why Fudge and the Ministry of Magic have been helpless against Rita Skeeter, the obnoxious journalist, is probably because this little beetle has gained some secrets that can ruin certain people or institutions through his own abilities.

So, she's been around here for at least a week, and she should talk to her!

Thinking of this, Shane dodged and instantly caught the little beetle that had been wandering near his home for this time into his room.

With a muffled thud, Skeeter fell back into his human form on the carpet and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings with a look of horror.

"Oh oh my! What happened?!!!

Obviously, he had just been crouching near the possible home address of the Ravenclaw inheritor as usual, but he didn't expect that suddenly his eyes would dazzle, and he would instantly come to a strange room.

She thought she had been kidnapped by a dark wizard!

And at the same time as the little beetle panicked, Shane was also carefully looking at the media sister in the British wizarding world in front of him, and he instantly felt that his aesthetics seemed to be a little distorted.

To be honest, Rita Skeeter's overall image is not ugly, but it looks very awkward.

A face with a large chin, pale blonde hair that has been made into delicate, stiff, grotesque curls.

He wears a pair of jeweled glasses on his face, and his fat fingernails are more than two inches long and painted red like a vampire.

Looking at Skeeter, who was still sitting on the ground, Shane first greeted politely: "Hello, Ms. Skeeter!"

Skeeter immediately turned his head to look behind him when he heard the sound, and saw that the person who had been looking for half a month by the entire British media community was actually sitting in front of him.

"Oh~ Mr. Dolea, it's an honor to meet you!" Skeeter immediately got up, not paying the slightest attention to Shane's hasty arrest of her, and showed a professional smirk.

"Do you really feel honored to see me, I think you know for yourself. Sean said teasingly as he sat on the bed.

Then with one hand in front of him, a table, a chair, and a cup of black tea appeared between the two.

"To tell you the truth, Ms. Skeeter, I kind of admire your professional abilities!"

"I've cast powerful guardian magic on this house and my family, but you can find it all around!"

"I have to say, you are much better than your peers!"

"Thanks for the compliment, but let me say, no amount of magic can completely erase the traces of a person's growth, can it?"

Skeeter sat down unceremoniously in her chair and pulled out the dark green quill and notebook she had with her.

And Shane didn't stop her from doing this, because he took the initiative to find this little beetle, which showed that he wouldn't care about her nonsense.

So, Sean continued calmly: "Madam, I took the initiative to come to you this time to give you a gift, but at the same time, I also want to ask you to use your ability to help me do something. "

"I'm listening......," Skeeter replied with a smirk.

At the same time, the notebook in her hand already had the words "Seendolaa is arrogant and complacent, and wants to bribe reporters as the successor of Ravenclaw".

But Shane didn't pay attention to it, but picked up the black tea in front of him, took a sip, and began to say:

"Ms. Skeeter, I can grant you exclusive rights to the Ravenclaw legacy, just you. "

"But in the meantime, I need you to help me dig up as much of this man's history as I can. "

As he spoke, he handed over a note.

Skeeter picked up the note and looked at it, only to see a name written on it: Tom Mavolo Riddle.

She didn't immediately agree to Shane, but continued to write in her notebook: Shayndora personally confessed to having an affair with a man named Tom Mavolo Riddle.

Then she continued, "Then may I ask Mr. Dolea, can you tell me what the relationship between this person on the note is with you?"

"It's a little related, but it's not too big. Shane replied lightly, "Actually, you know him too, but you all call him Voldemort." "

As soon as the words fell, the proud and confident expression on Skeeter's face suddenly froze.

She slowly raised her head and showed a stiff smile: "I'm sorry, just now you said that this person named Tom is ......"

"Voldemort!"

Hearing Shane's exact answer, cold sweat suddenly began to ooze from Skeeter's forehead, and he felt a cool air rise from his back.

As a journalist, and especially as a beetle Animagus, she was able to learn more or less through various channels, consciously or unconsciously, that Voldemort might still be alive.

Half a month ago, Shane's Ravenclaw inheritance was born.

As a result, she learned in detail through her investigation that the author of the comic book that is now widely popular among young wizards is actually Shaindola.

So she knew exactly what the name Tom Mavolo Riddle meant. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

This is nothing more than teasing and mocking the Dark Lord.

Thinking of this, Skeeter immediately stood up from his chair and replied in a trembling voice:

"Right...... I'm sorry, Mr. Dolea, but I can't accept your request!"

After saying that, I wanted to turn around and leave.

At this time, she didn't care about the exclusive interview right at all, because her intuition as a reporter told her that the little wizard in front of her, who looked harmless to humans and animals, was very dangerous!

However, just as Skeeter was about to leave Shane's room, she suddenly felt that she couldn't move, and at the same time, her limbs were not controlled at all, and slowly let her sit back in her chair.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, you're not done yet!"

Shane smiled, and with the teapot, he added some black tea to the teacup in front of Skeeter, and the strange atmosphere suddenly overwhelmed the latter.

"Lady Skeeter, you have already received the gift, and people should pay attention to the exchange of courtesies!" said Shane, pointing to the notebook that Skeeter was holding in his hand.

"I can't promise you, the Dark Lord isn't dead yet, he'll kill me......" Skeeter suddenly revealed the secret that Voldemort wasn't dead, in exchange for Shane's automatic backing-off.

But it was clear that she had miscalculated......

I saw that Shane did not change his face when he heard this so-called "secret", but added some black tea to himself, and then said slowly:

"Truth be told, as a journalist who has dealt with the Ministry of Magic a lot, you're a little too confident, Ms. Skeeter. "

"There are so many secrets hidden in the bottom of my heart, you should practice brain occlusion. "[]

"You ?!!!"

Hearing Shane's words, Skeeter's scalp instantly tingled.

Because she realized that the little wizard in front of her was flowing with a blue halo in his pupils.

So he was so frightened that he shouted at the top of his throat and exclaimed, "How is it possible?!

If it was a horror when he learned Voldemort's real name just now, now Skeeter's mood is completely terrifying.

Because Sean will take the mind of the gods, it means that the secrets he knows have been completely exposed.

Not to mention that she is illegal, and Animagus may make her squat for three years in Azkaban.

She had offended so many people by writing articles before, and the Ministry of Magic would definitely have added fuel to her punishment when it was judged.

Coupled with some other secrets that she learned "accidentally", if these were leaked, some people would definitely try desperately to shut her up permanently.

Therefore, after struggling repeatedly in his heart, Skeeter asked nervously in a cold sweat, "Mr. Dolea, can you tell me why you want to check his past?"

"You don't have to worry about the specific reasons, but what I can tell you is that Voldemort's history has helped me a lot in some of the things I want to do in the future. Shane replied.

"Now, then, Ms. Skeeter, are you going to grant my request, or do you want to go to Azkaban to dance with the Dementors?"

"Do I have any other options?"

Skeeter's face was pale, she tried her best to suppress the chill in her heart, then took a deep breath, nodded reluctantly, and said, "I promise you, Mr. Dolea!"

"Happy working together!"
