Chapter 150 Conquering Rita Skeeter (first update)

Hogwarts, Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, Underground Palace.

The originally dark and spacious underground palace now had a completely different look.

The large areas of water on the ground have disappeared, leaving only the clean marble floor.

All the debris and dust on the surrounding stone pillars were also swept away, including all the dirt on the surface of each stone pillar.

Densely packed runes were revealed, and with the flow of magic power, some faint light was faintly emitted.

In the middle of the underground palace, there is a very conspicuous simple cross.

On the shelf, a blonde witch was tied.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the huge basilisk.

At this moment, the basilisk raised its head and looked at the prey brought back by its master with its huge yellow eyes.

And his master, Lockhart, was looking at the Rita Skeeter witch with interest from across the cross.

Rita Skeeter really impressed him.

Originally, he was thinking of digging a hole into the pureblood family through Rita Skeeter, so he wrote the letter.

In order to ensure that Rita would do as he said, she specifically emphasized that she knew the identity of the other party's illegal Animagus.

At the same time, in order to prevent his identity from being revealed, he wrote letters in the tone of a pure-blood family and hired a wizard to help deliver the letter.

In order to ensure that the plan is foolproof, and also interested in Rita Skeeter, a famous reporter.

So, watch from the sidelines as this Rita wizard copes with her demands?

But what he never expected was.

This lady, Rita Skeeter, was so decisive that she knocked down the messenger wizard and interrogated him with veritaserum.

In the end, he used the Forgetting Curse extremely skillfully to erase his own traces.

Tsk tsk tsk, as expected, the character who can leave his name on the original work is not too simple.

Originally, his impression of Rita Skeeter was that of a reporter who only distorted reports.

But now it seems that with the other party's decisiveness, he can definitely step into the ranks of talents.

Well, originally he just wanted to take advantage of Rita Skeeter and then clean up after the matter was over.

There is never any thought of cooperation. After all, pig teammates are more terrifying than divine enemies.

But now it seems that with her decisiveness, she may be able to play a big role.

Not to mention her ability to distort facts and guide public opinion.

With his mind spinning, Lockhart thought about how to conquer Rita Skeeter?

dark.

After a flash of white light, there was darkness.

After Rita Skeeter regained consciousness slightly, the first image in her mind was the white light before she fell into coma.

What is white light?

Something familiar.

Seems to be.

Stunning spell!

call!

When the word coma spell came to mind, Rita's consciousness began to recover quickly in an instant. She felt that her brain began to become drowsy, and then she slowly woke up.

Breathing also started to become stronger.

"I was knocked unconscious."

After regaining consciousness, a thought slowly appeared in Rita Skeeter's mind.

Immediately afterwards, I felt as if my hands and feet were being restrained, or tied up with ropes.

Rita tried hard to open her eyes.

Then

"ah"

Rita, who had just opened her eyes, saw a huge snake head emerging in front of her and screamed in fright.

"Hiss."

Rita's sharp voice seemed to frighten the basilisk, its head retracted slightly, and then it spat out the snake letter and made a hissing sound.

Rita could feel the coldness brought by the snake letter.

She suddenly turned pale with fear, fearing that the huge python would eat her.

It was as if he knew that the sound just now scared the giant snake.

Rita didn't dare to say a word and gritted her teeth desperately.

Even though his whole body was shaking and his teeth were chattering, he still didn't dare to make a sound.

Then

"Little snake, back off."

A gentle voice came to Rita's ear.

Immediately afterwards, the huge basilisk was seen retreating back.

The fear in Rita's heart weakened slightly, and then she quickly focused on the place where the sound came from.

"Professor Lockhart"

Rita couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw a very familiar face.

Then as if he thought of something, his face became even paler.

My reports were written with real care.

To get gimmicks, get traffic.

I have been slandering him since he was in school, and he has even questioned his character and abilities in all aspects.

In such an environment, could she not know what happened when she saw the other person?

Thoughts were spinning rapidly in my brain, constantly thinking about ways to survive.

Her instinct told him the best solution.

That is to cast animagus.

result

Rita had just visualized the Beetle and was ready to change.

Buzz!

A bolt of electricity passed through her body, Rita trembled and instantly lost all control of her body.

"Rita Skeeter, don't waste your efforts."

"Your animagus has no effect here."

Lockhart looked at the struggling Rita and said in a cold tone.

Hearing Lockhart's answer, disappointment flashed in Rita Skeeter's eyes.

Then, an idea flashed in his mind, and a thought quietly emerged, and he asked in a panicked tone.

"It's you. Is it you who wrote me the letter?"

"Yes, Ms. Skeeter." Lockhart nodded slowly in confirmation.

After hearing Lockhart's reply, Rita explained in a panic.

"Professor Lockhart, I really didn't mean to write this report."

"It's a pureblood. The pureblood family asked me to write it."

"As well as the information above, they all told me."

"They also threatened me, saying that if I didn't write, they would make me lose my job and make me bankrupt."

"."

Lockhart's mouth curled up as he watched Rita Skeeter continue to defend herself and take the blame for the pure-blood family.

Then

Shh!

Lockhart put his index finger between his mouth and made a hissing sound to indicate silence.

When Rita saw it, she was very obedient and stopped talking immediately.

Seeing Rita's actions, Lockhart imitated Snape and put a cold smile on his face, putting more pressure on Rita.

Rita looked at Lockhart's expression and felt even more panicked.

"Ms. Skeeter, I read your report." Lockhart said coldly, and continued as if commenting: "I have to say, your writing is pretty good."

"And your identity is the reason why you are still alive."

Hearing Lockhart's plain but oppressive words, Rita's mind immediately began to spin rapidly.

The reason for living is to have hope of living.

What is the so-called hope?

Yes or no.

"Professor Lockhart, I can help you deal with the pure-blood family." Rita replied decisively: "My Animagus allows me to sneak into the pure-blood family and eavesdrop on intelligence."

Rita thought about it and found that Professor Lockhart seemed to have quite a conflict with the pure-blood family.

And the only value I have in it is this.

No way, let her continue writing articles to smear Lockhart.

Hearing Rita's reply, Lockhart looked closely at Rita Skeeter.

Rita looked a little fussy, and then said in a cold tone.

"Eavesdropping on intelligence, you can do it later."

"Right now, I need you."
