Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 987 Rozier’s actions

"How does it feel?"

On the first weekend of the new school year, Hagrid specially invited Kyle to the Three Broomsticks for a drink, and at the same time curiously asked him how he felt about his first alchemy class yesterday.

"Okay, not that smooth, but not too bad." Kyle took the glass of butterbeer from him.

Everyone has zero foundation, so they are on the same starting line, but this is also good. Just follow the steps and start from the most basic.

Moreover, he also found that almost all the students who chose the alchemy class were from Muggle families, and only two were from wizarding families.

Students from Muggle families are good. Although their foundation is a bit poor, or almost non-existent, they have no stereotypes about Hogwarts and treat every subject with great enthusiasm and curiosity.

Kyle only showed them a few gadgets from Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, and they were stunned.

Especially after seeing the fist-sized, flying, fire-breathing Hungarian Horntail, and the lifelike wizard chess, the eyes of several third-grade kids were red. They sat there and screamed, eager to get involved immediately. During the study of alchemy.

"That's good, I was worried that you would be nervous." Hagrid sat next to Kyle.

"I was so nervous when I took the first class that I couldn't sleep for several nights."

"Hagrid, did you make a mistake somewhere..." Kyle glanced at him, "I just changed a subject, and it's not the first time I teach students."

"That's different." Hagrid waved his hand, "Before, you could only be regarded as a substitute teacher. It's different from now. You are now a full professor."

Kyle said nothing, mainly because he couldn't figure out what the difference was.

But seeing Hagrid's confident look, he did not refute, but turned his attention to the Daily Prophet beside him.

Originally, he just wanted to see if the turmoil in the Hogwarts Alchemy class had subsided, but he was suddenly attracted by a photo on the front page.

The photo showed an unkempt strange wizard who looked crazy, a bit like the photo of Sirius after he escaped from prison.

There is also a bold and eye-catching title above.

[Nurmengard, is it a treasure or a scam by a mysterious man]

"What is this?" Kyle blurted out.

"What?" Hagrid also looked at the newspaper, "Oh, the Daily Prophet was just delivered this morning. I used it to wrap walnuts."

"Can you lend it to me?"

"Of course, it's up to you."

"Thank you." Kyle took the newspaper and read the content on the front page carefully.

"Most people don't seem to realize that since the Battle of Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic has not returned to peace, especially in Cornwall, where many small-scale wars have occurred recently.

"We are already dealing with it. I have no comment on anything else." A grumpy Auror who did not want to be named said when he returned to the Ministry of Magic yesterday.

However, it has been confirmed that this ongoing commotion is actually related to a mysterious hearing.

Although so far, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Magic still refuses to admit the content of the hearing, many people in the wizarding world know that the things they want to keep secret are the Horcruxes and the people who cannot be named. An important factor in its comeback more than ten years later.

It is said that a Death Eater tried to escape after the mysterious man was defeated and stole one of his treasured maps...

…

The article is very long and almost fills one page.

By the time Kyle was halfway there, Hagrid had already finished two pints of mead.

"Let me tell you, that map is a lie." He opened the last bottle of mead and burped.

"The map that records the method of making Horcruxes... how could a mysterious person give such an important thing to an unknown Death Eater.

"To be honest, I have never even seen the person in the photo. Maybe he is not a Death Eater..."

"He is definitely not a Death Eater." Kyle looked up from the photo and said, "Because he is a wizard from Norway, and he just came to England a month ago.

"Hagrid, you haven't read the above at all."

Hagrid burped.

He really didn't. After seeing the phrase "the treasure left by the mysterious man", he just packed the walnuts in newspapers.

Didn't he believe that Voldemort would leave any treasure behind? Even if there is, it must be fake and a scam to lure others into falling for it.

So in his opinion, this news must be false, and the Daily Prophet has started talking nonsense again.

Why should he care about a piece of useless fake news?

Hagrid drank the last bottle of mead nonchalantly.

Kyle continued to read the second half of the newspaper.

"...It is reported that the competition for the map came to an end a few days ago. No one knows who the winner is. The only news available now is that a group of wizards suddenly disappeared and disappeared without a trace.

"The fearless reporter Rita Skeeter ventured to the chaotic Cornwall and used her extraordinary wisdom and unparalleled shape-shifting skills to successfully obtain the latest news.

"The treasure map is actually a map marked with a mysterious place... Nurmengard."

The front page ends here.

Kyle turned to the second page and found that it was full of introductions to Nurmengard and Grindelwald.

Kyle took a look and found that there were many exaggerations. For example, Grindelwald once summoned a patron saint as big as a giant.

This is actually the achievement of the invincible Andros. Only he can summon the Titan Patronus, but here it is placed on Grindelwald's head.

Later, the fateful battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald lasted for seven days and seven nights, and even the process was written out.

"The sky is low, night and day alternate, golden streams of light are looming in the night sky, and invisible spells are whizzing past my ears..."

It's exciting, but also a bit fake.

To be honest, few battles between wizards can last this long, let alone Dumbledore and Grindelwald. Even two alchemy tools will explode if the Seven Days Curse is used consecutively.

If Kyle guessed correctly, this description should belong to a Quidditch match.

The golden streamer is the Golden Snitch...two invisible spells, Bludgers?

Once you change it like this, it will become much clearer.

Rita Skeeter probably read a certain "Quidditch Weekly"

Well, people who see this might laugh and throw it away like Hagrid.

But if you don’t see it, you might really be fooled.

At this time, the door of the Three Broomsticks was pushed open, and a man walked in from the outside. He looked around the store first, and then sat on an empty seat in the corner.

The sound of the bell as the door opened caught Hagrid's attention, and he turned to look outside.

"Is it almost noon?" Hagrid stood up and said, "I still need to go to the Forbidden Forest in the afternoon, let's go back."

"I want to discuss something with Fred later." Kyle said, "You go back first."

Hagrid nodded and left the Three Broomsticks without paying attention.

It's no surprise that Kyle often comes here to see the Weasley brothers.

After Hagrid left, Kyle did not go to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, but still sat there.

After a while, a witch came over and sat where Hagrid had been.

"Long time no see, Rita." Kyle raised his head.

"Long time no see." Rita Skeeter changed into a new handbag, the material seemed to be dragon skin. "I have to thank you for providing me with such exciting news." She said thanks, but her tone was not particularly excited, but a little hesitant.

But she hid it well.

"The legendary Nurmengard and Grindelwald, you don't know that the number of replies I received is second only to the previous Battle of Hogwarts."

"As long as you're satisfied." Kyle smiled.

"But there's one thing I don't understand." He opened the newspaper and pointed to the exaggerated content on the second page.

"You made it up like this, aren't you afraid of being exposed?"

"I'm not afraid." Rita Skeeter said matter-of-factly: "Can anyone guarantee that Grindelwald will not be able to summon the Titan Patronus?

"Also, who has witnessed the battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald?"

"No one saw it, so it's totally fine for me to say this. Besides, most people don't care about this. They are more concerned about whether someone has made a new Horcrux."

Kyle was stunned for a moment and realized that what she said really made sense.

"All right."

"Where are the coordinates of that group of people? When are you going to release them?" Kyle changed the subject and asked, "They shouldn't have gone too far yet."

"On a desert island near France." Rita Skeeter said directly without thinking, as if those people had always been under her control.

No, it should be under "her" control.

"That's good. If you write down the location in detail, you should be able to catch a few more guys who are watching and let them fight again.

"After that, the British wizarding world should be completely peaceful for a while."

Rita Skeeter didn't speak. She looked at Kyle opposite and suddenly trembled as she thought of something.

He is like this, and so is the witch.

Those dark wizards who claim to be victors are all fierce and ruthless, but at this moment they seem to be held up by a thread, unable to escape every step they take.

Rita Skeeter even suspected that the reason why Kyle introduced her to the witch was not out of friendship or cooperation, but because he felt that her Animagus form was concealed enough to be easily tracked without arousing suspicion.

After all, others don't know their route and destination.

Among other things, if the location of the island where they are hiding is exposed now, those people will be suspicious of each other, and even fight and kill each other.

Rita Skeeter glanced at Kyle again. Although he was not involved in the whole process, he guessed the witch's plan.

What is this, a tacit understanding?

Rita Skeeter shook her head and stopped thinking about these messy things.

"She said it wasn't the time yet and she had to wait a little longer."

"Then just wait." Kyle didn't care.

Since Rozier has to take full responsibility, he will not interfere too much and find things for himself.

"Then why did you come to me this time?"

"I need a guarantee." Rita Skeeter hesitated.

She originally came to see Kyle for other reasons, but she suddenly changed her mind and said seriously:

"I don't want to be like those guys."

She wanted to say that she didn't know how those guys died, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them and did not say them out.

"Are you scared?"

"I can't help but be afraid," she said without any embarrassment.

"I trust you, but that witch doesn't look like a kind-hearted person. I have reason to suspect that after she is done with her own business, she doesn't mind squeezing a weak beetle to death."

Rita Skeeter was so bold before because she was an illegal Animagus.

Beetles are so small that they can't be seen without looking closely.

But now, this identity seems to be a bit useless.

The witch was obviously so old, but she was not dim-sighted. Instead, she recognized the beetle she had transformed into at first sight.

She didn't even know where her flaw was, and she was pinched.

"I can give you a letter." Kyle said softly: "If she wants to kill you, give her this letter."

"Does it work?"

"uncertain."

"What did you say?!"

"Don't look at me like that." Kyle shrugged, "I have only met her a few times, and our relationship is not good enough for her to change her decision with a letter."

"Then what's the use of giving me a letter?"

"Let's try it." Kyle said, "I don't think she cares about you that much. Anyway, there seems to be no difference between killing you and letting you go."

Rita Skeeter was silent.

"You can refuse, this is your freedom." Kyle said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not do anything to you. As long as you say goodbye, I will find someone else to go to Nurmengard immediately."

Rita Skeeter still didn't speak, probably hesitating.

But when Kyle mentioned the place Nurmengard, her expression suddenly became struggling, and her body was trembling.

"You just said...Nurmengard, does it really exist?"

"Of course."

"Do you know the location?"

"You know, those people took a serious map of Nurmengard, which is where they will go later.

"If they are lucky, they can also meet Grindelwald himself, the legendary wizard from seventy years ago..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Rita Skeeter suddenly took a deep breath!

"I must be crazy!" She stood up suddenly and bumped into the chair behind her.

Fortunately, today is not Hogsmeade day, and there are not many people in the Three Broomsticks.

Afterwards, Rita Skeeter seemed to be afraid that she would regret it, so she turned around and left.

"Don't forget your letter, you must give it to me as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry," Kyle said.

He actually wanted to tell Rita Skeeter that he could write the letter now and let her take it away without needing to take another step.

But at this time, the other person had left the Three Broomsticks and disappeared.
