Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Although the wizard in front of her was young, he was the type she least wanted to meet—

She is neither an empty-headed fool who is deceived by false reputation, nor a weak commoner who can be bullied by her at will, nor a "good person" who is highly capable but kind and abides by the rules and will not retaliate even if offended.

"How did you recognize me?" Wade asked curiously, "My photo shouldn't be in the newspaper."

"I wanted to find a chance to interview you, so I waited outside Flourish and Blotts for a few days around the start of last year's school year..."

Rita Skeeter said wryly.

At that time, when she finally confirmed which one was Wead Grey among the students coming and going, something happened outside the bookstore - Lucius Malfoy and Arthur Weasley had a fight.

It was the first time that Malfoy had fought with someone in public. Skeeter was so excited that she almost lost herself in the notebook. After Malfoy and his son left, she chased after them to interview them.

It was not until she finished recording this emergency and was the first to submit the manuscript to the newspaper that Rita Skeeter remembered her original purpose, but she had missed the opportunity.

"The big news I'm talking about is not about you interviewing me." Wade paused and said, "Did you know that not long ago, several countries jointly investigated some dark wizards?"

"I've heard a little bit about that," Rita Skeeter said honestly. "I heard they didn't find anything, just caught a few thieves and smugglers, and now they've disbanded."

"I have discovered a group of guys who are doing things in secret. I have already grasped the whereabouts and appearances of several of them. I can be sure that the Ministry of Magic knows nothing about them. Are you interested in this news?" Wade asked.

In fact, those werewolves might not be related to the dark wizards who abducted underage students, but Wade was vague and led Skeeter to think in this direction.

He knew that Skeeter had been warned many times by the Ministry of Magic for her nonsense in the newspapers. If there was a chance to slap the Ministry of Magic or even Dumbledore in the face, she would not let it go.

Rita Skeeter is a vengeful woman. In the original plot, because Hermione quarreled with her, she turned around and wrote in the newspaper that Hermione was a slut who played with the feelings of Harry and Krum.

Sure enough, Rita Skeeter's eyes sparkled and her mouth widened.

She licked her lips subconsciously and pretended to hesitate before saying, "But... if I report this kind of news, the dark wizard might retaliate against me..."

"—Would you like to come with me? Or should I go find another, more courageous reporter?"

"——I'll go!" Skeeter put forward a condition: "In return, you have to give me a chance for a private interview later."

"Okay!" Wade agreed readily.

……

The ship has sailed.

There was a buffet restaurant on the ship. Rita Skeeter, who was wearing a headscarf and dressed as an ordinary housewife, took some food and, following Wade's instructions, took a closer look at the people who were sitting together eating.

The table was filled with roast chicken and roast lamb. A man with thick eyebrows was cutting a steak that was probably only one-third done. When the slightly charred surface was cut open, the red raw meat inside was exposed. The juice was flowing down, and the inside of the plate seemed to be stained with a layer of blood.

Skeeter glanced at them casually and then looked away, walked to the side to join Wade, and asked softly, "Are they them?"

Vader nodded and said, "There are two more, in the cabin below."

He took Skeeter down to the cabin and found the truck.

The two people in the car have not woken up yet. The cabin is quiet, with only a few staff members in orange clothes checking the security of the vehicle.

Rita Skeeter whispered, "What's in the truck? They have to leave someone guarding it when they get here."

Make up for last night's chapter

Chapter 301: Vader: The Blazing Fire

"They thought it was someone they had kidnapped," said Weed.

"So—actually?" Skeeter demanded.

Wade smiled and said, "If the car door is opened, remember to stay away."

His smile was still gentle, but for some reason, Skeeter's heart skipped a beat and he felt a little uneasy.

She rubbed her arms, turned her eyes away, and asked in a deliberately questioning tone: "Why don't I find anything special about these guys? They look like ordinary people... Are you kidding me?"

"If I lied to you, you can just make up rumors about me in the newspaper."

Vader smiled and said, "And you can report me to the Ministry of Magic as an illegal Animagus."

On the way there, he had Skeeter turn into an insect and transformed himself into a peregrine falcon, so they could get back to the ship before it set sail.

Skeeter snorted. "I'm an unregistered Animagus myself, so I'm going to Azkaban too?"

"So, we have each other's handles. Isn't this the best alliance?" Wade said, "You can't betray me, so I won't tease you."

"Okay then." Skeeter took a deep breath and gave a malicious smile.

"If I do get some big news, the faces of those guys at the Ministry will be so funny that I'll have to write another article about it! But..."

She twirled the gem ring on her finger, glanced at Wade, and said, "If I really encountered a dangerous situation, I would run for my life at the first opportunity."

"Of course, your personal safety is the most important."

Vader pulled a sleeve from his pocket and pulled out a piece of parchment.

"The friend account linked to me also has a location function. You can use it to contact me at any time."

"Okay." Skeeter took it and then asked, "If I'm in danger, can you bring Dumbledore?"

"It depends."

Wade pulled out another paper bag and opened it, revealing a glittering silver object.

Skeeter gasped. "Invisibility cloak!"

"Here." Wade handed it over. "Hide it. I think you might be able to use it."

The insect form is indeed concealed, but Skeeter still needs to eat, drink water, contact the friend book, and if necessary, restore human form to hide or use magic. The invisibility cloak will make him much safer.

This Invisibility Cloak was not the Deathly Hallows that Harry's father left him, but one that Wade bought at a second-hand grocery store during last year's holidays.

When he bought it, the cloak no longer had the magic to invisibility, but most of the materials were intact. While Vader was learning alchemy, he spent some time repairing the cloak, and it came in handy now.

Skeeter was flattered and took it. He asked in surprise, "Are you really giving it to me? This thing is very rare and precious."

"You think too much. I'm just lending it to you temporarily." Wade said, "But if you can help me find the lair of these people, this invisibility cloak can be your reward."

"A word is settled!"

Rita Skeeter's eyes suddenly lit up with fighting spirit, and her thick and fat fingers grasped the invisibility cloak tightly, obviously not wanting to return it.

Wade watched as Rita Skeeter put away her Invisibility Cloak and Book of Friends, transformed herself into a tiny beetle, and flew over to land on top of the truck.

He cast an invisibility spell on himself and stood aside to observe for a while.

The beetle stayed on the roof for a while, and seeing the two people inside the car sleeping soundly, it couldn't help but crawl to the back compartment due to its strong curiosity.

The hole where Wade had made an exit had been repaired by him, but the carriage was not completely sealed. The beetle crawled around and finally found a narrow gap.

To humans, it is just a gap that is too narrow to even fit a finger through, but to a tiny beetle, it is big enough.

It got half of its body in, took a look, and then bounced out in panic, hitting the bump behind the front of the car with a slight "bang" sound.

The sleepy guy with a mustache at the front of the car was awakened by the small sound. He opened his eyes in a daze, and suddenly sniffed.

"What's that smell... Damn it! You peed your pants in the car?!"

He was so shocked that he kicked the sleeping freckled driver awake with one kick.

There was a loud bang from the car door.

The freckled driver was beaten for no reason and punched the other person without hesitation without even opening his eyes.

The man with a mustache was not willing to be outdone, he bared his teeth and roared as he pounced forward!

The two men were fighting with punches and kicks in the narrow space, and the huge front of the car was shaking.

As the ship sails, other fixed vehicles will also shake slightly, and the truck is not very conspicuous among them.

Wade listened for a long time. Neither of them questioned their coma or the lost memory. The focus of the dispute was still on peeing pants at first, but soon it turned into a simple fight.

Skeeter was leaning against the corner of the car window, watching with great interest. If she had a pen in her hand, she would probably have started writing quickly.

Vader left quietly.

……

When we returned to London, it was already dawn.

A green mist covered the tall and short buildings. A group of pigeons gathered together and flew over St. Paul's Cathedral.

Wade found the small museum, but the glass door was locked and the shy-looking girl was not behind the counter.

Wade held the door handle and said silently in his heart: "Alaho Open!"

The door lock clicked open, he pushed the door open and saw that the elevator display was still black.

The elevator was locked and needed a key or password to reopen, which Vader naturally didn't have. He pulled out his spare wand and swung it like a whip!

The iron door creaked, twisted and cracked, revealing a huge gap.

He went down the elevator shaft and saw that the elevator cable had been violently broken. The entire elevator fell below, forming a line of defense to block the wizards.

Although the practical skills of most alchemists are relatively poor, as long as they are given enough time, they will naturally find a way to break through such a blockade and leave.

But at that time, everyone was covered in gold dust, their consciousness was groggy, their reactions were much slower, and they wanted to leave, so they were stubborn and struggled with the iron gate.

But in fact, this building was not built as a prison, nor was it hidden miles underground like the Millennium Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts.

There was a staircase connecting the ground floor to other floors, but when the incident happened, the staircase was hidden.

Wade took a while to find the stairs that were hidden by a sleight of hand. He went down to the ground floor and saw a locked iron door.

After unlocking the door, Wade did not go in, but pointed his wand inside and whispered, "The fire is blazing!"

Chapter 302 Go home immediately!

A beam of red light shot out and exploded, and a raging fire engulfed the entire room.

Vader controlled his magic and let the flames burn in a circle along the wall.

The next moment, he heard the portraits screaming.

Although the portraits in the magical world can move around in other portraits, if their original portraits are destroyed, the people in the portraits will soon wither and "die" like a tree trunk that has lost its roots.

The screaming lasted for a long time, and the crackling sound of burning lasted even longer.
