On the other side of the dance floor, the end of the first song also made many people, including Harry, breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as the music ended, Harry immediately let go of Parvati's hand and returned to his seat to sit down.

His mind is very confused now.

Standing next to Andy, he felt like he had made a lot of mistakes tonight.

The same goes for Ron beside him.

Ron's performance was even worse. He was restless all night, looking around like Krum, and ignoring his dance partner Padma.

He didn't even invite Padma to the first dance.

Padma crossed her arms and crossed her legs, sitting next to Ron, her eyes rolled with no intention of concealing them.

Soon, the two sisters Parvati and Padma were invited to dance by others.

They eagerly agreed without even intending to ask Harry and Ron's opinions.

Harry and Ron didn't care much about it. They were sitting at the same table, each with their own thoughts.

Suddenly, Ron's eyes lit up and he patted Harry on the shoulder.

"Look! That looks like Hermione!"

Harry:"How is that possible?"

""No! It's true! I swear I didn't see it wrong!" Ron stood up from his chair suddenly, but was stunned again,"Uh, okay, maybe I saw it wrong."

Harry wondered,"What happened?"

Ron hesitated and said,"I seemed to see Hermione just now, but she looked completely different from usual. She was dressed very beautifully and wore a blue dress."

Harry was frustrated and said,"This is impossible. Hermione said she would not come to the ball."

"Besides, she hasn't found a dance partner, so why would she dress up and come here?"

At this time, Krum walked behind them and asked,"Have you seen, Her...Hermione?"

Ron said unhappily,"No! What's the matter, is she important to you?"

Harry was shocked by Ron's reaction.

During the World Cup, Ron was a die-hard fan of Krum, and he was excited every time he saw him in person in the castle.

There was also a moving Krum figurine at the head of Ron's bed.

But ever since Krum tried to invite Hermione as a dance partner, Ron was very abnormal.

Krum said gloomily,"Okay, I'll ask Hall again, he must know……"

"Oh well, go ahead! Go now! You can't expect to learn anything about other champions, or Hogwarts, from us.——"

Ron was halfway through his speech when Harry suddenly interrupted him.

"Uh, Ron?

Ron quickly turned his head:"What's wrong?"

Harry looked at the door of the auditorium with a strange expression:"I seemed to have seen Hermione just now. She walked into the auditorium and then walked out again?""

"Andy is still following her! ?"

It was mainly Andy's presence that made Harry believe in his own judgment.

Andy was more convincing than other evidence.

……

Andy walked out through the gate and into a small garden.

Roses were planted in the garden, and there were bright lights floating in the air, like fireflies flashing.

Andy walked around the low bushes and walked onto a stone path.

The garden was decorated very gorgeously, and the sound of fountains could be heard in the distance.

The professors of Hogwarts spent a lot of time preparing for this ball.

Andy stopped in front of a half-human-high stone statue, stretched out his hand forward, spread his five fingers, and a pool of clear water floated in the air.

Andy tapped a few more times with his fingers, and a star map also appeared on the puddle, slightly tilted in one direction.

After getting the result, Andy waved his hand to disperse the puddle and continued to move forward.

He had not taken a few steps when he saw the back of a person in a blue evening gown, squatting in front of a cluster of roses from behind.

"Hermione?"

Her dress fit her perfectly, and her brown hair was straightened and tied into an elegant hairstyle. She looked like she was attending a dinner party, but there was no dance partner beside her.

""Andy?"

Hermione was startled and turned around quickly.

Her face was slightly red, and she adjusted her breathing quietly. Fine beads of sweat came out of her neck and she looked very hurried.

Hermione, who was carefully dressed up, was completely different from before. Her facial features were originally very beautiful, and now with makeup, she looked even more delicate.

Andy:"Why are you here?"

Hermione said nervously:"I, my dance partner stood me up, so I planned to take a walk here and then go back."

She stayed in the dormitory for a long time, thought about it, and finally came.

Because Andy would be there too, could she tell him?

Andy was curious:"Who is your dance partner?"

"Ugh, the Roger Davis of your academy!"

In desperation, Hermione said a name casually.

Roger Davis is the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.

"Yeah? He really has no vision."

Andy didn't expose Hermione. He just saw Roger Davis dancing very happily on the dance floor. He couldn't be Hermione's dance partner.

If the conversation continued, it would be exposed. Hermione grabbed Andy's arm. , said:"Andy! You have to help me!"

"What's wrong?"

Hermione:"About the article in the Daily Prophet……"

Andy said:"I never believed what was said in the article. I know you are not the person said in the article."

"Thanks. Hermione felt warm in her heart and said,"But that's not what I want to say. Listen, I discovered a secret about Rita Skeeter!""

""Secret?"

Andy also knew Rita Skeeter's secret.

She was an unregistered Animagus.

Animagus is a very special kind of transfiguration that can turn oneself into an animal without using a wand.

Only a very small number of people can learn Animagus and use it skillfully.

Because this magic is difficult to learn and can easily lead to fatal dangers, the Ministry of Magic stipulates that every Animagus must be registered, and it is illegal to learn Animagus privately.

Professor McGonagall is a well-known Animagus who can turn into a cat.

Just now, the result of the water divination has told Andy this. Tsk.

Rita Skeeter can turn herself into a beetle.

Andy was not surprised by this, as the divination result just now also told him this fact.

He was surprised that Hermione had already discovered this.

According to the plot of the original book, it would take Hermione several months to catch a clue and then pull Rita Skeeter out.

But under Andy's influence, Hermione actually discovered traces of Rita Skeeter now.

Should we say that she is worthy of being the wisest of the iron triangle?

When Harry and Ron were busy playing and looking for dance partners, only Hermione could find that something was wrong.

Hermione asked,"You've read that article, right? It says that I want to be your dance partner."

Andy nodded,"Of course that's not true.""

"Well……"Hermione's face was a little hot, and she decided to skip this and not talk about it."This is not the key point. The key point is why she knew this."

"I mean, I was in the school hospital with Harry and Ron, and there was no one else around, but she could know some of the content of our conversation, and more than that, she could also clearly know what I said to Harry and the others. What"

"This is obviously not normal. There is no way that Harry and Ron would take the initiative to tell this, nor could they both be Rita Skeeter's informants."

"So I started to pay attention to what was going on around me and was able to make Rita Skeeter do this.

Andy asked:"What did you find?" Hermione took a deep breath and said slowly:"Rita Skeeter, she may be an Animagus.""
