"Please stay calm, Miss Skeeter!" Jon Hart's calm voice was tinged with anger that made it a little more aggressive, "Otherwise, we won't be able to talk to each other properly......"

Rita-Skeeter struggled desperately a few times and let out a few whimpering, and when she realized that she couldn't fight the man and woman in front of her, she could only nod her head in resignation.

Jon waved his hand again, and the tape was automatically torn off the female reporter's mouth, allowing her to catch her breath.

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

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

"That's what the Ministry of Magic told me to write that!" Rita-Skeeter argued unprofessionally, "They paid me to discredit you......"

Hermione Granger on the side opened her mouth in slight shock, but the expression on Jon's face remained unwavering.

"Understandable...... Probably they've given you too much, haven't they?" Jon smiled and nodded, "So you boldly transformed into a beetle and infiltrated Hogwarts, ready to dig up more of my secrets......"

"And then I was caught by Miss Perfect!" muttered Rita-Skeeter, glaring at Hermione fiercely for a moment, then looking down and speaking without emotion.

"How shocking!" Jon continued, though there was no surprise in his voice, "The true identity of the famous journalist Rita Skeeter is actually an illegal Animagus who is not registered with the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic at the Ministry of Magic, and if this news is revealed, I am afraid it will cause a big stir......"

“...... Of course, in a few months, the Daily Prophet may be paying a lot of money, so please write about Azkaban's life 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 in the midst of her frustration, she was also faintly excited......

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

......

Ten minutes later—

"Do you want to ...... the deeds of these people All in public?" exclaimed Rita Skeeter with some hysteria.

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

Horace-Slughorn...... And Alasto-Moody...... and Remus Lupin...... And the Arthur Weasley family......" wrenched his hands and weighed while shaking his head frantically: "Merlin's beard, how long does this have to be written...... Are you sure you're not crazy?"

"In fact, you could do a series of interviews. Jon responded, "And it took a while to make their deeds known one by one......"

"But you're definitely disobeying the Ministry of Magic!" Rita Skeeter couldn't help but mention the tone: "Rufus-Scrimgeour doesn't like the Order of the Phoenix very much, and he hates Hogwarts...... He would never let the Daily Prophet publish such content, the Ministry of Magic still has a lot of influence in the editorial office of the newspaper!"

"Unfortunately, I have a slight intersection with Mr. Barnabas Gufe, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, so you don't have to worry about it. Jon shook his head.

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

"If the wizarding world really starts to know about these news, why should Scrimgeour suppress them?" Jon replied unhurriedly, "Wizards and wizards like to hear it, Scrimgeour doesn't like it, what is he?"

Rita Skeeter looked up and gave Jon a strange look.

After a long time, she slowly spoke, "Headmaster Hart, you and Albus Dumbledore are very different. ”

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

"You're going to have to pay me a lot of money...... Every thousand words, at least five Galleons!"

"No problem, if you write great, 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...... However, it seems inappropriate to interview in the principal's office...... You're forbidden to Hogwarts, after all, aren't you?" Jon said, looking around, "So please go to Hogwarts now, Miss Skeeter...... I'll take Mr. Slughorn with me over there to find you later...... By the way, I will be interviewed. ”

“...... Of course, please don't play any tricks, otherwise nothing will come of it. ”

"I see......" Rita Skeeter nodded, "I'll go to the pig's head bar to find you now......"

With that, she turned into the same chubby beetle and flew out of the headmaster's office window.

"Fox...... Follow her. Jon gently patted the phoenix perch and admonished.

Then I saw a flash of golden light, and the phoenix disappeared.

......

Astoria Greengrass arrived at the school at 11:30 p.m.

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

Astoria is in a good mood, in fact, this past Easter holiday was almost the most enjoyable holiday she has spent in years......

After returning to the Hogwarts campus and having her first lunch, Astoria broke up with a few friends and sneaked to the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle......

When she went to the principal's office, she was already familiar with the road.

"Hello, Mr. Stone. Looking at the guarded stone monster, Astoria smiled and greeted it.

Stone pretended to bow gracefully, though the actual action was rather awkward...... At the same time, it also makes a way.

Astoria walked around the stone monster and ascended the spiral staircase until she reached the oak gate.

Suddenly, she heard a faint conversation in the office—

Astoria Greengrass's breathing became a little rapid.
