Chapter 320: Rita's End

After hitting a wall several times in Hogwarts, she finally got some big news! As long as she added something, those idiots would take it seriously and rush to give her money!

Rita Skeeter was in her exclusive office, drinking expensive red wine and looking at her masterpiece with pride.

Over the years, she has relied on exaggerating rumors to write one exciting revelation after another that some wizards want to see!

As for the truth, is it important? As long as someone likes it and it attracts people's attention, the rest is none of her business. She just needs to get money from those idiots who believe whatever they say.

Just when she was feeling proud, the office door was kicked open!

"Who is it? I'm going to die... Boss."

Rita was startled and was about to lose her temper, but when she saw that the person coming was the owner of the Daily Prophet, her angry face instantly twisted and turned into a smile.

It was just that the switch was too fast and her face was twitching a little.

"Boss, what can I do for you? Is there any big news that you want me to interview? I'll do it right away." Rita clapped her hands, looked expectant, and threw a wink.

At this time, the boss of the Daily Prophet no longer loved this gold medal reporter who brought him a lot of wealth.

When he was in love, he thought Rita's wrinkles were so cute that they could kill a fly! When he stopped loving her, even if he fixed his eyes on her jeweled glasses chain, he couldn't stop the disgust in his heart.

"Tell me, what did you do, you bastard!" the man roared angrily.

"Ah?" Rita was puzzled. What happened? She was a sweetheart in the morning, why is she a bastard now?

"Just now, I received letters from three pure-blood families including Malfoy, and a letter from Zenith Group! The letter only said one sentence: "Your newspaper is finished, thank your reporter!" It said, "How did you offend them? Do you know what these people have in their hands?"

The man's roar was like the rage of a giant, but his remaining sanity prevented him from pulling out his magic wand and biting the melon with love.

These seemingly simple words were tantamount to sentencing him to death! The power in the hands of those families could easily shut down his newspaper, and they had a reason and evidence to back it up!

Rita was confused by her boss's words. She didn't provoke those people. Recently, because of the Triwizard Tournament, she had been gathering intelligence at Hogwarts. She had recently published an article about the half-giant. She didn't...

Suddenly, she thought of the chairman who studied at Hogwarts!

It can't be...they...can't have any relationship~

"No...no, I've been gathering news in Hogwarts all this time and haven't offended those big shots!" Rita explained with a glimmer of hope.

"Really? Then how did Ms. Skeeter sneak into Hogwarts and steal other people's privacy to spread rumors?"

Rita and the other person looked towards the door, which was already blocked by a large group of people. The first person to speak was the school director who was still in school.

The thing Rita least wanted to see happened.

"What do you mean by sneaking in? What nonsense are you talking about!" Rita pointed her sharp nails at Ivan's nose and shouted.

"Who are you? Who allowed you to enter my newspaper office without permission?"

Alvin didn't answer, but took out a piece of paper and handed it out.

"Unfortunately, I have to inform you that this is my newspaper now. As for you~" Ivan walked towards Rita.

Ivan raised his hand and swung his powerful fist at the heavily made-up old face!

slap~

The slap was quite loud!

"Wow! My hands are covered with putty!" Alvin took out a handkerchief in disgust, wiped his hands and threw them into the trash can.

Rita covered her face and slumped to the ground. The scene in front of her kept shaking. She was stunned, physically! She felt as if more than 500 back teeth were knocked out by this slap!

She licked it with her tongue, and oh~ her gold tooth was knocked off.

"How dare you hit me!" Rita still had the strength to scream. Even though half of her teeth were gone, she still couldn't speak without making a sound!

Ivan walked past the stunned former newspaper owner, grabbed Rita's hair, and dragged her out like a dead dog.

"You should tell the judges of the Wizengamot about this, Miss Beetle."

Rita, who was pulling out her wand and preparing to resist, suddenly froze! How did he know?

Now there are only two words in Rita's mind: "It's over!"

The thugs brought by Ivan noticed her movements, disarmed and restrained her, took her from Ivan, and continued to drag her out.

No one looked at the former newspaper owner during the whole process.

"Boss, are you okay? Do you want to call an Auror?" Barnabas Guffey, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, stepped forward and asked carefully.

More than twenty fierce wizards who rushed in just now scared them a lot. They thought someone had committed a crime and the Aurors came to arrest him.

"No, and don't call me boss."

He looked at the acquisition contract in his hand and the note attached to it.

[Sign a contract and get paid and leave, or don’t sign a contract and let you go, your choice! ]

……

In just one day, a small riot passed by.

Ivan returned to Hogwarts, and Lucius would take care of the rest.

Ivan found Hagrid again. He had recovered some energy today, and Ms. Maxime was still there with him.

Alvin didn't say much, just told him that the matter was resolved and not to care about the outside comments. He would handle it and ensure that he would not be affected.

After finishing, he gave Hagrid a look that said "I'm watching you!" and left his villa with Hagrid's somewhat shy expression.

This light bulb is better off not being used anymore.

The next day, following the news of the brutal half-giant appearing in Hogwarts, another explosive news appeared on the newspaper headlines!

[Rita Skeeter! The former gold medal reporter of the Daily Prophet! She is actually an illegal Animagus! ]

The feature report not only tells about Rita's transformation into a beetle, but also clearly describes how she used her illegal Animagus identity to pry into other people's privacy and spread rumors.

Before going on trial, Rita was secretly given a truth serum and answered every question from the judge word for word.

As for whether the use of truth serum is legal or not, our great Minister Fudge will handle it all.

As a minister, he still has this right.

However, those die-hard fans who worshipped Rita at the time are now in a miserable situation. It is said that many older fans were so angry that they went to St. Mungo's to register!

Just because of what Rita said in her confession: "She just wanted to take money from those idiots who believed whatever she said~"

PS: I'm going to take a day off tomorrow to rest and organize my thoughts. In order to avoid a bad ending and completely ruin the battle, I have to think carefully about how to fill in the gaps!

Chapter 321: Unlucky Karkaroff

"What stage have you reached?"

"We are almost at the second stage. In a few months, the world will welcome your return again!"

"Yes~ The world will eventually welcome my return! Hahahahaha..."

Dark, oppressive, dark——

In such an uncomfortable environment, the sinister and hoarse laughter echoed along with the hissing sound of snakes...

"Do you think it was Ivan who did this?"

"I think it must be!"

"Why do you even need to ask? Didn't you see that the signs above have changed?"

A few children who love reading newspapers gathered together to discuss today's Daily Prophet.

Rita Skeeter's miserable appearance before being taken to Azkaban was still on the headlines. Because of her illegal Animagus identity, her "voluntary" admission of the privacy she had peeped into, and a series of other things that involved too many people, she was sentenced to fifteen years in Azkaban.

This result made many people happy. After all, this old woman had offended many people because of her love of talking nonsense.

"So...their relationship has heated up to this extent in the past few days?"

"Yes, the principal hasn't been back these days."

"No! You should be more careful!"

At the Hufflepuff table, Harry and his friends came over again, and the Fleur sisters followed Reese and sat next to Ivan to eat.

Ever since they learned that the food here was better than that at other long tables, Fleur and the others never returned to Beauxbatons' table.

But now they all focused their eyes on the table in the professor's seat, looking at the two big guys who were feeding each other, making a fuss.

Hagrid's mood completely changed from cloudy to sunny, and his relationship with his big baby became deeper, but it was a pity for Professor Snape who was beside him.

Snape had a gloomy face and was reluctant to put the spoonful of porridge into his mouth because the pink heart with the sweet smell of love flying from the left really made him feel choked.

On the right is old man Newt. He doesn't dare to touch him. Ever since he moved Professor Flitwick here to take the blame last time, Professor Flitwick has never come here again.

He could have put down the spoon and left, but he hadn't had a proper breakfast for several days, and he had done nothing wrong, so why should he be the one to suffer?

So just to save face, he forced himself to endure it and was determined to finish the bowl of porridge in front of him!

Resisting the little love hearts floating around him, Snape gritted his teeth and finished a bowl of porridge, then ate two fried eggs before quickly escaping from this hell!

But that damn Karkaroff is still haunting us!

"Severus, you should know why I came to you. This morning, its activities became more intense. I can sense that the day is not far away!"

Karkaroff pulled Snape into a corner and rolled up his sleeves to reveal the Dark Mark on his wrist.

The Dark Mark, which should have only been a faint trace after Voldemort's death, has now become clearer, and the python in the skull's mouth is still slowly wriggling.

"I don't know what that has to do with me. I still have to go to class. Excuse me."

Snape flicked his robe and strode away, leaving Karkaroff standing there in a daze with a complicated expression.

"The infirmary is on the fourth floor. Madam Pomfrey will heal you if you are unwell."

When Ivan, who had eaten and drunk his fill, passed by Karkaroff, who looked constipated, he kindly reminded him where to go, muttering to himself.

"Really? Why are you sitting in a corner all by yourself instead of going to the doctor when you feel sick? You are such a weird person."

Puff! Karkaroff was so angry that he almost vomited blood!

This bastard boy actually said I was weird!
