Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Rita Skeeter considers herself no ordinary journalist.

She is daring and will do whatever it takes to become famous and to dig out the privacy of famous people. It is by virtue of this that she is able to stand out in the Daily Prophet, a magic newspaper that ranks among the top three in the British wizarding world, or in the entire European wizarding world. status today.

From the perspective of a professional reporter, she is definitely not a qualified reporter. Of course, she also knows that she does not have the qualities that she should have.

Skeeter had never thought that being a reporter was to expose the darkness and shady stories in the magical world. Such things would be difficult to investigate and would not bring her much visibility, and would also put her in danger.

Digging up the privacy of celebrities and adding some personal information to stir up public opinion is what makes her most addicted.

So if she were in Muggle society, she would be positioned as a paparazzi, and the kind with the lowest bottom line.

In order to satisfy her sense of accomplishment and desire, she even took the risk to learn the high-end application of transfiguration - Animagus.

And he did not report it to the Ministry of Magic, becoming an illegal Animagus.

And God seems to be very kind to her. Her Animagus form is extremely hidden, suitable for lurking small insects.

This makes her even more powerful. She can use this unobstructed access to the private places of various celebrities, eavesdrop on their conversations and privacy, and then expose it to the public.

This ability made her position in the Daily Prophet as fast as a rocket. She only joined the Daily Prophet in her thirties and became the deputy editor of the newspaper when she was just forty.

Nowadays, she is solely responsible for the reporting on the Triwizard Tournament.

Of course, although Skeeter likes to talk nonsense and peek into other people's privacy, she also has enough self-awareness.

For someone like Dumbledore, who is recognized as the ceiling of wizards in the entire wizarding world, she can casually make insinuations from other people's mouths (she keenly discovered that the current Minister of Magic Fudge is not friendly to Dumbledore. Doing so will not only bring her popularity, but the Ministry of Magic will definitely keep her).

But even if these were a little superficial, they could still be regarded as formal procedures. If Skeeter was allowed to fly directly into Dumbledore's office to peek into his privacy, she would never dare.

So on this Christmas Eve, when the whole Hogwarts was full of joy, Skeeter's instinct told her that there must be big news to dig out tonight.

Her target from the beginning was Hagrid, the Care of Magical Creatures professor who had just taken up the post at Hogwarts.

After the exclusive interview with Harry, she started to pay attention to this man with an unusual size. During the period, she used his hypocritical appearance to communicate with Hagrid. She was excited to learn about the relationship between Hagrid and Harry. very good.

Any news that could be related to Harry was listed as a first-tier priority item for Skeeter.

So she decided to do a deep dive into Hagrid this Christmas.

However, just when she turned into the form of Animagus, she was monitoring Hagrid's every move in the auditorium, keeping an eye on him at all times.

A man who made her gnash her teeth suddenly caught her attention.

The Yule Ball had just begun, and Forrest, who had burned her newspaper manuscripts in front of her and threatened her, got up and left the auditorium with another female teacher.

His keen intuition told Skeeter that there must be news to dig out!

She has been a reporter for the Daily Prophet for so long and has never suffered such humiliation. Sherlock is the first!

After that, she also desperately searched for dirty information about Sherlock, but couldn't find any.

The defense professor at Hogwarts has an excellent reputation. No one has a bad word to say about him, whether among the students in the castle or among the wizards who have graduated and started working in the past two years.

Even Professor Snape, the most venomous one, didn't tell her anything dirty about Sherlock.

This made Skeeter like a fly that was eyeing the egg but failed to find the gap. He could only "buzz" incompetently and furiously on the sidelines.

And tonight she felt like her chance had come.

After a short decision, she threw Hagrid aside and secretly followed Sherlock and the female teacher all the way to the garden outside the castle.

But what disappoints Skeeter is that these two people are like two boring gourds, and there is not a word of conversation from beginning to end.

After that, they finally started talking, and she heard that it was obvious that the female teacher was interested in Sherlock, and the two bastards just found a place where no one was around to show off their affection.

Not only did he not dig out any serious information, but Skeeter, who had eaten a full meal of dog food, viciously planned to make up a report when he went back, saying that the professors at Hogwarts were having promiscuous relations between men and women, and that he was the school director for nothing. The continued salary and the funding of the Ministry of Magic, and finally added, are all due to Dumbledore's inaction.

However, she had not yet had this idea and was about to fly back to the auditorium to stare at her original target Hagrid again.

She was caught.

Even if Skeeter tried hard, she couldn't figure out how Sherlock found her.

Compared with ordinary human body transformation, the biggest advantage of Animagus is that there are no restrictions on the animals that can be transformed, and the shape of the animals is no different from normal animals.

But even if she thinks about it now, it doesn't change the outcome of the matter.

After Sherlock caught her, he did not expose her immediately. Instead, he waited until late at night before releasing her in the office.

"Are you going to change back to human form on your own, or do you need me to give you a little help?"

It is not difficult to forcibly remove the magic of Animagus. Find it at Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com Last year, Sirius, Lupine and Sherlock together used it on Peter who turned into a mouse.

Skeeter didn't dare to play tricks at this time. Before Sherlock could take action, she took the initiative to change back to her original self.

Sherlock sat on the chair, looked at the female reporter standing in front of him with a nervous expression and wandering eyes, and spoke with interest.

"Unexpectedly, Ms. Skeeter, you are actually an illegal Animagus."

Skeeter smiled reluctantly. She now lost her previous aggressive aura and could only look at Sherlock with that pleading expression.

"Mr. Forrest, I beg you not to tell anyone about this..."

With a playful smile on Sherlock's face, he stared at Skeeter, who looked pleading, and said softly.

"Don't tell me? What good will it do to me if I don't tell you?"
