For Shane,"Wizard Weekly" is just an entertainment magazine that reports gossip news, and its use value is not great.

But the other two are completely different.……

《The Daily Prophet usually reports on current news and advertisements, such as the Gringotts theft and recruitment information for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.

Therefore, because of its seemingly serious and high-sounding characteristics, it has always been the main channel for people in the British magical world to obtain information, and its credibility has always been the highest in people's minds.

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

Ever since Fudge became Minister of Magic, his desire for power has continued to expand.

In order to consolidate his power, he has always wanted to completely control the entire"Daily Prophet", and there are even rumors that he wants to bring Gringotts into his sphere of influence.

However, the existence of a special reporter from the Daily Prophet newspaper has always caused Fudge's plan to completely control public opinion in the British wizarding world to fail.

And this reporter is Rita Skeeter, the beetle Animagus in the original novel who likes to exaggerate the truth and describe the news in all kinds of extravagant language.

It can be seen from the usual content of the Daily Prophet that most of the sections she writes are negative news about the Ministry of Magic and Fudge.

What’s interesting at the same time is that, without exception, these news are all based on certain facts.

Of course, it's just a point...

When Rita Skeeter writes news, she will use her wonderful writing to attach various logical conjectures that are in line with"people's favorites" to these facts and expand them without reason. , conjecture, idealization, visualization.

The main focus is on selling sales and gaining attention, without any regard for the truth, which often brings great pressure and trouble from public opinion to the protagonists of the news content.

And the reason why Fudge and the Ministry of Magic have been helpless with the annoying reporter Rita Skeeter is probably because this little beetle has obtained some information through its own abilities that can ruin the reputation of certain people or institutions. secret.

So, she has been around here for at least a week, so it’s time to talk to her!

Thinking of this, Xia En dodged and instantly captured the little beetle that had been wandering near his house during this period into his room.

There was a muffled sound, and Skeeter, who had returned to his human form, fell on the carpet and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings with a horrified expression.

"oh! oh! Oh my God! What happened?!!!"

Obviously she had just been crouching near the possible home address of the Ravenclaw heir that she had investigated as usual. Unexpectedly, her eyes suddenly blurred and she came to a strange room in an instant. She thought she was being hacked. The wizard has been kidnapped!

And while the little beetle was panicking, Shane was also carefully looking at the media lady in the British magic world in front of him. He instantly felt that his aesthetics seemed to be a little distorted.

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

A face with a big chin, and her light blond hair is styled into delicate, stiff, weird curls.

She wears a A pair of glasses studded with jewels, and the nails on his fat fingers were about two inches long, and they were painted red like a vampire.

Looking at Skeeter who was still sitting on the ground, Shane slapped him politely. Say hello:"Ms. Skeeter, hello!"

Skeeter immediately heard the sound and turned around to look behind him, only to see that the person who had been searched for by the entire British media industry for half a month was sitting in front of him.

"Oh~Mr. Dolea, it's an honor to meet you!"Skeeter immediately got up, not paying any attention to the fact that Shane arrested her rashly, and showed a professional fake smile.

"I think you know for yourself whether you really feel honored to meet me."Xia En sat on the bed and said teasingly.

Then he drew his hand in front of him, and a table, a chair, and a cup of black tea appeared between the two of them.

"To be honest, Ms. Skeeter, I kind of admire your professional ability!"

"I cast a powerful protective spell on the house below us and my family, but you can still find your way around here!"

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

"Thank you for the compliment! But let me tell you, no matter how powerful magic is, it can't completely erase the traces of a person's growth, right?"

Skeeter sat on the chair unceremoniously, and took out the dark green shorthand quill and notebook she carried with her.

And Shane didn't stop her when he saw this action, because he actually took the initiative to find this The arrival of the little beetle showed that he would not care about her nonsense.

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

"I'm all ears……"Skeeter replied with a smirk.

At the same time, the notebook in her hand already had a sentence such as"Shaendola is arrogant and complacent, and wants to bribe reporters through her identity as the heir of Ravenclaw."

But Xia En ignored it, instead picked up the black tea in front of him, took a sip, and began to say:

"Ms. Skeeter, I grant you exclusive rights to the Ravenclaw heritage, yours alone."

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

As she said that, she handed over a piece of paper.

Skeeter picked up the note and looked at it, and saw a name written on it: Tom Marvolo Riddle.

She did not agree to Shane immediately, but The notebook continued to write: Xian Dolea personally admitted to having an affair with a man named Tom Marvolo Riddle.

Then she continued to ask:"Then, Mr. Dolea, can you tell me the paper What is the relationship between this person in the article and you?"

"A little bit, but not too much."Xia En replied calmly,"Actually, you also know him, but you all call him Voldemort."

As soon as she finished speaking, 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!"

After hearing Shane's exact answer, Skeeter suddenly began to sweat on his forehead, and felt a cold air rising from his back.

As a reporter, especially as a beetle animagus, She was able to learn more or less through various channels, intentionally or unintentionally, that Voldemort might still be alive.

Half a month ago, it was revealed that Shane had inherited the Ravenclaw heritage.

She also passed the investigation because of this. She learned in detail that the comic book that is now widely popular among young wizards is actually written by Shane Dorea.

So she knows very well what the name Tom Marvolo Riddle represents. (Watch the spoiler For cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

This was completely a tease and ridicule of the Dark Lord.

Thinking of this, Scott immediately stood up from his chair and refused with a trembling voice:

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

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

At this time, she no longer cared about the exclusive interview rights, because as a reporter, her intuition told her that this seemingly harmless little wizard in front of her was very dangerous!

However, Just when Skeeter wanted to leave Shane's room, she suddenly felt that she couldn't move, and at the same time she had no control over her limbs. He slowly let her sit back on the chair.

"Don't leave in such a hurry, you haven't finished talking yet!"

Shane smiled, holding the teapot and adding some black tea to the teacup in front of Skeeter, and this weird atmosphere immediately made the latter breathless.

"Ms. Skeeter, you have already accepted the gift. People should be polite to each other!"Shane pointed at the notebook in Skeeter's hand and said.

"I can't promise you, the Dark Lord is not dead yet, he will kill me……"Skeeter suddenly revealed the secret that Voldemort was not dead yet, in exchange for Shane's automatic withdrawal.

But it was obvious that she had made a wrong calculation...

Xia En's face did not change when he heard this so-called"secret", but he added some black tea to himself, and then said slowly:

"To be honest, as a reporter who often deals with the Ministry of Magic, Ms. Skeeter, you are a little too confident."

"There are so many unknown secrets hidden in your heart, you should practice Occlumency"[]

"you?!!!"

Hearing these words from Shane, Skeeter's scalp went numb instantly.

Because she then discovered that a trace of blue light was flowing in the pupils of the little wizard in front of her.

So she was so frightened that she screamed at the top of her lungs:"How can it be?! You actually know Legilimency!"

If he was horrified when he learned Voldemort's real name just now, then Skeeter's mood now is completely fearful.

Because Shane can legilimency, this means that the secrets he knows have been completely exposed.

Not to mention. Saying that she is an illegal Animagus may make her spend three years in Azkaban.

She has offended so many people by writing articles before, and the Ministry of Magic will definitely add fuel to the fire and aggravate her sentence during the trial.

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

Therefore, after struggling repeatedly in his heart, Skeeter said with a cold sweat on his forehead. Nervously asked:"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 the history of Voldemort will be of great help to some of the things I want to do in the future."Xia En replied

"So now, let me ask you, Ms. Skeeter, are you going to agree to my request, or are you going to go to Azkaban and dance with the dementors?"

"Do I have any other options? Skeeter

's face turned 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 cooperation!"
