Harry Potter's Bastard

"That woman is an illegitimate Animagus. Hermione didn't hesitate to get the key to it.

"You mean- like Professor McGonagall?"

"Like Sirius?"

Harry and Ron thought of the people they knew had mastered the Transfiguration of Animagus.

"Yes, but she's illegal, she's not registered with the Ministry of Magic, and there are only seven registered Animagus this century. Hermione said, "Of course, we now know that there are quite a few wizards who don't register with the Ministry of Magic once they've mastered the Animagus. "

As far as the Animagus Harry had seen so far, Professor McGonagall, Sirius, and Peter had all seen it with their own eyes. Of course, Hermione knew more than they did, and she knew that Neville's original toad was also a wizard.

"Do you believe that Selwyn?" Ron frowned, he had a natural distrust of Slytherin, "could he be lying to you?"

"Then why did he lie to me?" Hermione turned to look at Ron, "What's in it for him?"

"Okay Ron, Hermione was right, Solim wouldn't lie about this kind of thing. In terms of implementation, he has never deceived us. Harry said a fair word.

Ron muttered, but no one could hear what he said.

"And what are you going to do?" Harry asked Hermione curiously, "Even if we know she's an Animagus, what kind of animal is she going to become?" "

"Beetles. Hermione said, "Solim said that Skeeter would turn into a beetle, and he saw her from a statue during a break in the ball, just as Hagrid and Madame Maxim were talking in the garden. "

Hermione glanced at Hagrid, "Honestly, Hagrid, you chose a terrible place to talk. There were so many people around, a lot of people – including students from three schools – who heard your conversation with Madame Maxim. "

Hagrid was a little stunned when he heard Hermione's words, he didn't think that the problem was here.

"I think it was after hearing what you and Madame Maxim said that Skeeter became interested in Hagrid's origins," Hermione analyzed, "and that's why she dug up some of your things later and reported them in the Daily Prophet." "

"How did Selwyn know that Skeeter was an Animagus?" Ron asked a good question that Hermione couldn't answer.

"Except for Professor McGonagall who took the initiative to transform for us, Sirius at that time still had a class...... Peter," Ron stumbled, "...... They all showed up on their own initiative before we realized that they were an Animagus, and they looked like animals in their entirety. "

"Maybe Solim saw the transformation of Skeeter?" Harry tried to explain.

"Besides, since he knew that Skeeter was an Animagus and was eavesdropping, why didn't he stop it?" Ron then asked another stupid question.

Hermione didn't bother to explain to Ron after listening to him.

From the beginning of the school year to the present, Hermione is arguably one of the students in the entire Hogwarts who have been in contact with Solim for the longest time. Although Hermione didn't dare to say how well she knew Solim as a person, Hermione thought that she could see some of Solim's qualities clearly.

Solim is a troublesome person, and if something doesn't matter to him, he basically doesn't care. And Solim has a better temper, in the case of Ron, his attitude towards Solim has never been friendly, unless Ron provokes him on the spot, otherwise Solim will not be as knowledgeable as Ron. Hermione had seen this scene many times, and Solim generally ignored Ron.

"Why would he stop it?" Hermione asked rhetorically, "he's a troublesome person, and if Skeeter hadn't messed with him, he wouldn't have bothered to bother with other people's business." "

Speaking of this, Hermione glanced at Ron: "Let's just talk about you, which time didn't you provoke him first? Think about it yourself, from beginning to end Solim did he take the initiative to provoke you once? "

Harry spoke quickly when things were not good, because according to past experience, Hermione and Ron were likely to quarrel.

"And what are you going to do Hermione?" Harry asked, "even if we now know that she can turn into a beetle, but what can we do?"

"We can get her arrested!"

Hagrid was frightened by Hermione's words.

"Oh no, you can't do that, that woman will do everything she can to deal with you afterwards. Hagrid shook his head, "Look at me, that woman will reveal all your secrets." Listen to me, don't provoke that woman. This is going to cause you big trouble. "

"But how did you catch her?" asked Harry, "and if nothing else, we don't even know where she is now. "

"Maybe that damn woman is now turning into a beetle hiding near us and eavesdropping on us. Ron said with a snort.

The effect of this sentence was immediate. Everyone shut up, because they weren't sure if Skeeter was actually eavesdropping near them.

"I've heard Solim say - Professor Dumbledore has forbidden Skeeter from the castle. Hermione whispered after a moment.

"But we're not in the castle yet, we're on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Ron gestured to the Forbidden Forest behind him.

"Well, let's talk about that when we get back to Gryffindor Tower, Skeeter definitely won't be able to get into the common room. "

Teach Skeeter a good lesson, something all three of Harry agreed on. But what to do, that's what Hermione has to worry about, after all, the other two people are not suitable for planning such a thing. They would only rush up to reason with Skeeter after finding him, or argue with the woman about Hagrid in full view, which would have no effect on Skeeter. If a few students who haven't graduated yet can get her to change her ways, then Skeeter won't be the most troublesome reporter for the Ministry of Magic.

Hermione had also learned badly with Solim, and she was going to give Skeeter, a woman who likes to spread rumors, a little color.
