"Please stay calm, Miss Skeeter!" Jon Hart's calm voice contained a hint of anger, which made it a little more aggressive: "Otherwise, we won't be able to have a normal conversation." It's..."

Rita Skeeter struggled desperately and whimpered a few times, and when she realized that she couldn't be an enemy to the man and woman in front of her, she could only nod in resignation.

Jon waved his hand again, and the tape was automatically torn from the female reporter's mouth in an instant, allowing her to breathe.

"I think we can talk calmly now!" Jon's voice returned to his usual gentleness:

"Miss Skeeter, you read your report on me in the "Daily Prophet" a few days ago... I have to say, very interesting news, especially those adjectives used for me..."

"That's what the Ministry of Magic asked me to write!" Rita Skeeter has no professional ethics, and hastily argued: "They spend money and let me discredit you..."

Hermione Granger on the side opened her mouth slightly in astonishment; but the expression on Jon's face remained unchanged.

"It's understandable... maybe, they gave you too much, right?" Jon nodded with a smile: "So you boldly transformed into a beetle, sneaked into Hogwarts, and prepared to dig out more of me. secret……"

"And got caught by Miss Perfect!" Rita Skeeter muttered, glaring at Hermione for a moment, then lowered her head and said without emotion.

"How shocking!" Jon continued, although there was no surprise in his voice: "The real identity of the famous reporter Rita Skeeter is actually an illegal, unenchanted The Animagus registered in the Ministry of Prohibition of Misuse of Magic Office, if this news is exposed, it will probably cause a big sensation..."

"...Of course, in a few months, the "Daily Prophet" may pay a lot of money, please write news about life in Azkaban from the inside?" Jon sneered.

"Principal Hart... let's talk about the special correspondent of the Order of the Phoenix..." Rita Skeeter said dejectedly.

But amidst the frustration, she was faintly excited...

After all, the Order of the Phoenix has always been extremely mysterious in the wizarding world, even "more" than the Death Eaters... Being able to get close to the truth of this mysterious organization is undoubtedly very attractive to her.

...

Ten minutes later—

"You want to make the deeds of these people...all public?" Rita Skeeter exclaimed hysterically.

"That's right." Jon nodded without hesitation: "Your ears are fine, Miss Skeeter."

"Horace Slughorn... and Alastor Moody... and Remus Lupine... and the whole family of Arthur Weasley..." Pointing with his fingers, Shaking his head frantically: "Merlin's beard, what a long press release it takes...Are you sure you're not crazy?"

"Actually, you can do a series of interviews." Jon responded: "And then it took a while to make their deeds public one by one..."

"But your behavior is definitely against the Ministry of Magic!" Rita Skeeter couldn't help mentioning the tone: "Rufus Scrimgeour doesn't like the Order of the Phoenix very much, and also hates Hogwarts... ...He will never let the "Daily Prophet" publish such content, the Ministry of Magic still has a great influence in the editorial department of the newspaper!"

"Unfortunately, Mr. Barnabas Guffey, the editor-in-chief of the "Daily Prophet", and I also have a little overlap, so you don't need to worry about this matter." Jon shook his head.

"That kind of interview will only last for one or two episodes at most..." Rita Skeeter continued to argue: "Scremgeour will definitely put pressure on the "Daily Prophet", he is not without means !"

"If the wizarding world really started to know about these news, why would Scrimgeour suppress them?" Jon replied calmly, "Wizards and wizards love it, but Scrimgeour doesn't like it, what is he?"

Rita Skeeter looked up and gave Jon a strange look.

After a long time, she slowly said, "Principal Hart, you are completely different from Albus Dumbledore."

"That's natural, I'm not a copy of Professor Dumbledore." Jon joked.

"You have to pay me a high remuneration... for every thousand words, at least five Galleons!"

"No problem, if you write well, the price will go up significantly!"

"Since when?" Rita Skeeter stood up and patted the dust off her body, looking eager to try.

"Start as soon as possible... But it seems inappropriate to interview in the principal's office... After all, you are forbidden to enter Hogwarts, right?" Jon said while looking around: "So please go now Go to the Pig's Head Bar, Miss Skeeter...I'll take Mr. Slughorn over there to find you later...by the way, I'll be interviewed."

"...Of course, please don't play any tricks, otherwise there will be no good results."

"I see..." Rita Skeet nodded, "I'll go to the Pig's Head Bar to find you now..."

After all, she turned into the original chubby beetle and flew out of the window of the principal's office.

"Fox...follow her closely." Jon patted the phoenix perch lightly and urged.

Then only a flash of golden light was seen, and the phoenix disappeared.

...

Astoria Greengrass arrived at the school at a quarter to eleven.

She and her sister were also the last Hogwarts students to return to school after the Easter break.

Astoria is in a very good mood. In fact, the Easter holiday that just passed was almost the happiest holiday she has spent in recent years...

After returning to the Hogwarts campus and eating the first lunch here, Astoria dismissed a few friends, and then sneaked to the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle...

Going to the principal's office, she is already familiar with the road.

"Hello, Mr. Stone." Looking at the guarding stone monster, Astoria greeted it with a smile.

Stone pretended to be graceful and bowed to her, although the actual movement was rather awkward... At the same time, it also gave way.

Astoria walked around the stone monster and climbed the spiral staircase until he reached the oak gate.

Suddenly, she heard a vague conversation in the office——

Astoria Greengrass' breathing became a little short.
