Starting Over at Hogwarts

Most people wouldn't want to mess with the Dark Lord.

After all, everyone present is not an Auror, and it is certainly impossible to offend the third generation Dark Lord for a woman who likes to make up nonsense. Many people even expressed a look of relief that the sky has eyes.

Many people looked towards a corner.

And in that corner, a blond woman wearing glasses had cold hands and feet, holding her pen tremblingly, mumbling that she must not be seen.

None other than Rita Skeeter.

The woman swung her arms back and forth, hiding her face, trying not to be seen by Peter Pettigrew. All this concealment was in vain under the eyes of those colleagues.

this moment.

Rita Skeeter grew more and more frightened.

No one knows the tempers of these Dark Lords. What if Peter Pettigrew wants to kill her? This fact is too possible, they are not wizards like Dumbledore!

next moment!

The blond woman suddenly lay down and squatted under her desk. Her body changed rapidly, and she quietly turned into a little beetle under the desk!

Rita Skeeter is an Animagus!

And an illegal Animagus!

It was also because Rita Skeeter was able to turn into such a small animal that no one noticed that she was able to steal a lot of information secretly, allowing herself to publish the latest news before others did.

Just as Rita Skeeter's transformed little beetle cautiously fluttered to the side, Peter Pettigrew stretched out two rough fingers with yellow nails and pinched it...

Then…

He threw it into the tea cup next to him.

"..."

The little beetle immediately became disheartened.

It doesn't know if it's exposed.

Just as it cautiously climbed to the edge of the cup, Peter Pettigrew's nails directly flicked it down again, causing it to submerge in the cup again. This behavior of bullying bugs was a little bit nasty...

"Be honest."

Peter Pettigrew's words made the little beetle completely honest.

Rita Skeeter already knew that she was completely exposed, which made her feel nervous immediately. Once the fact that she was an illegal Animagus was exposed...

He will probably be sent to Azkaban soon.

The little beetle immediately carefully converged its wings, and its pair of frame-like eyes on its face moved back and forth. It was afraid of being discovered by others, and it was even more afraid of being crushed to death by Peter Pettigrew!

The editor-in-chief of the Wizarding Newspaper came over.

The man looked at the newly emerged Dark Lord carefully, rubbed his palms and whispered: "Mr. Peter, it seems that Rita has left..."

"It looks like this..."

Peter Pettigrew nodded indifferently, reached out and picked up the press release on the table, carefully read the made-up manuscript, and then put it down again.

to be honest.

I'm really curious after reading the report.

Does Ginny Weasley really want to join Grindelwald?

Is Grindelwald so powerful? He actually wants people to follow him in just three sentences? Is this report a bit exaggerated? Why doesn't he feel this way? Maybe it's because Grindelwald always carries private goods?

"Since she's not here, I'll leave first."

Peter Pettigrew picked up the water glass with the small beetle on the table and said slowly and casually: "This report is very interesting. I can write Grindelwald a little more evil..."

"ah?"

The editor-in-chief of the Wizarding Newspaper didn't react.

Just seeing that Peter Pettigrew was still there, he nodded quickly, planning to wait for Rita Skeeter to come back and immediately ask her to work overtime to rewrite the manuscript. Who knows if Peter Pettigrew will come again!

certainly.

The editor-in-chief of the wizarding newspaper did not forget to report the matter to the Ministry of Magic immediately, but all he got was the arrival of a group of Aurors. The group of Aurors checked around and found that there was nothing wrong before leaving...

on the street.

Peter Pettigrew held the water glass in his hand, threw it into the trash can, grinned, and stood slowly under the street lamp next to him.

"Quite an interesting transformation."

Peter Pettigrew glanced at the trash can and continued softly: "How many years will an illegal Animagus stay in Azkaban?"

"..."

A small beetle flew out of the trash can.

Soon the little beetle fell to the ground and returned to the appearance of Rita Skeeter. At this time, her clothes and makeup were no longer so exaggerated and luxurious, but rather indescribably embarrassed...

Rita Skeeter's clothes were stained with filth, her body was dripping with water, her face was even a little dirty, and the lenses of her glasses were stained...

"how dare you…"

Rita Skeeter was furious.

However, when she saw Peter Pettigrew's sneer, she immediately calmed down. This was not the good old Dumbledore, but Peter Pettigrew, the Dark Lord!

Good people can be bullied...

The devil does not dare to offend easily!

People like Rita Skeeter knew this very well. After she regained her senses, she immediately tidied herself up briefly and her expression became serious.

"Mr. Peter, what do you want from me?"

It doesn't look like this guy wants to kill her...

This was at least something to be thankful for for her.

Peter Pettigrew crossed his arms and stood looking at the lamppost. He asked in a sharp voice: "I have one thing to ask you. Do you have photos of Dumbledore and Grindelwald when they were young?"

If anyone in the entire wizarding world could get photos of Grindelwald and Dumbledore when they were young, apart from Dumbledore, probably only the woman in front of him could.

Because this woman has written some books about Grindelwald and Dumbledore, always hinting implicitly or explicitly that the relationship between these two people is not appropriate. Books about the wizarding world usually use some floating photos and images. Rita Skeeter might have gotten some from Bathilda Bagshot...

"..."

Rita Skeeter's eyes rolled. She seemed to have thought of something, and she also hugged her arms and became proud: "I spent a lot of money to find this..."

She really has this thing in her hand!

Anyone who buys her book will see it!

Of course, the photo in her hand is the original, but in the future she will continue to make up illustrations about the styles of Grindelwald and Dumbledore. How could she give it to others so easily?

Peter Pettigrew grinned, spread out his palms and said, "Make a price! By the way, tell me how many Galleons do you think your life is worth..."

"..."

Rita Skeeter immediately restrained herself.

Why does she always put on a high profile involuntarily?

This is really a deadly habit! Rita Skeeter shook her head quickly and pressed her temples with her fingers to calm herself down!

Rita Skeeter's attitude slowly softened and returned to her cautious look: "If you need it, I can give it to you directly..."

"I don't like taking things from people for nothing."

Peter Pettigrew grinned and shook his head, and suddenly said: "How about this, you give me the photo, and I give you a piece of hot news?"

"What news?"

"News about Voldemort."

Peter Pettigrew opened his palms, and the smile on his face became deeper and deeper: "I personally designed him to die in the Potter family. No one in this world understands him better than me..."

"make a deal!"

Rita Skeeter took a deep breath.

If she could get the detailed information about Voldemort, she would have made a lot of money tonight. Rita Skeeter didn't even think that Peter Pettigrew was lying to her!

In fact.

Peter Pettigrew didn't lie to her either.

Because the Daily Prophet changed their news, instead of reporting on such a trivial matter as Grindelwald's attack on the Weasley family, they used a more exaggerated headline!

[The secret of the second generation Dark Lord Mysterious Man! The conflict between the Dark Lords has begun! 】

This news is much more exciting than Grindelwald bullying a little girl!

Many wizards felt relieved after seeing the news, but some former Death Eaters were a little unusually panicked because the content was too scary...

This news report explained the secret of You-Know-Who's immortality, and even mentioned that Peter Pettigrew had destroyed two of You-Know-Who's Horcruxes, and even explained that You-Know-Who had only three Horcruxes left...

This strikes many as a bit subtle.

Has such a serious struggle started between the Dark Lords at this time? The third generation Dark Lord Peter Pettigrew actually started to do evil before the mysterious man was resurrected?

early morning.

The Crouch family home outside London.

When Grindelwald saw the news from the Daily Prophet in the morning, he glanced at Wesson, who had just returned at this time, with a subtle expression.

This little guy…

Were you out delivering news to someone in the middle of the night?

"I go to rest."

Wesen glanced at Grindelwald and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Wesson took out an exquisite and gorgeous pocket watch from his pocket and threw it towards Grindelwald's sofa: "By the way, I asked someone to help me make a pocket watch last night. Older people prefer to use this to tell the time..."

"Do you think I'm old too?"

Grindelwald reached out and grabbed the pocket watch.

Since Grindelwald appeared in Godric's Hollow, he has been using transfiguration to maintain his middle-aged appearance because he believes this is the best way to act.

Judging by his appearance, Grindelwald is indeed not that old.

Weisen didn't seem to intend to explain too much. He just chuckled to himself, then turned and went back to his room to rest. It could be seen that he was indeed a little sleepy.

Grindelwald's expression gradually calmed down.

The first-generation Dark Lord slowly opened his palm, and in his palm lay an exquisite and gorgeous pocket watch. He opened the pocket watch in his hand with an expressionless face.

Inside the pocket watch is a floating photo image.

The young man on the left had a charming smile, and the young man on the right had a serious expression. It could be seen from his eyebrows that the two of them were very happy.

Snap!

Grindelwald buckled the pocket watch in surprise. His face gradually became a little suspicious, and he suddenly opened the pocket watch in his hand. The photo on it was still the same photo.

This is a photo of him and Grindelwald when they were young.

"Maybe I'm really old..."

Grindelwald's fingers slowly polished the pocket watch. He looked at the two young people in the photo, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously: "Ha, Dumbledore, you must not underestimate the little guys now. Ah, the methods are much better than those of our time. Maybe I really have a chance to win this time..."
