"Van Lin, I'm ...... I have one more thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Van Lin looked up at Hermione, "You mean to talk about the newspapers?"

"Well, just last night, Krum went to the library to invite me. Hermione said with some embarrassment, "But let me refuse, I haven't had time to tell you, and then, I don't know why Rita Skeeter would know." ”

"It's no surprise, you know, we're Rita's focus. "However, I thought she would follow me, but I didn't expect it." ”

"Following you?" Hermione recalls what Van Lin did to Rita, "It's a good thing she didn't follow you." ”

Van Lin laughed twice, Rita didn't dare to come over if she had a request, there was strict magic protection here, and Rita couldn't run around at Hogwarts at any time.

"It's okay, don't take it personally, I'll take care of it in Krum, and Rita. Van Lin nodded.

It was too dangerous to leave Rita's woman outside, and originally Van Lin planned that Rita would not come to provoke him, so he let Rita go, but it was Rita's fault to shift the target to Hermione.

......

In fact, about Rita, Van Lin has been arranging these days.

Because the map is useless, Van Lin naturally needs more time to set up, such as the magic used for identification, and Van Lin must use himself as bait to be able to fish out this beetle.

For this reason, Van Lin has set up a number of triggering magic patterns at the capture site, as long as Rita dares to follow him......

It looked a little silly, it was already dark, and then sneaking out of the castle seemed to be a bit more than worth the loss if caught by Professor Snape.

He set up a magic pattern in the secret passage under the beating willow, the purpose was to confirm whether Rita was following him, but for three days in a row, he had been running out, but Rita had no intention of taking the bait.

It felt terrible, like I had been tricked.

Could Rita have returned to Diagon Alley's Daily Prophet office, or has she been exposed?

Running out for three days in a row does seem strange, but it should be good news in Rita's eyes.

Fan Lin felt that he was a little bad, maybe today's time was wasted again, he had already walked nearly half the way in the secret passage, but the magic pattern at the entrance of the secret passage had not yet been triggered.

Van Lin misses the library a little, either the Gryffindor Public Room, or the Room of Need.

Anyway, as long as Hermione is around, it's comfortable anywhere, at least much better than the cold screaming shack.

Van Lin rubbed his hands, for Rita, he also prepared some research materials on dark arts, but under his deliberate cover-up, even Hermione had not read it.

However, it is certain that Rita has always been around him, and the magic patterns left in the castle have been triggered, but more of them have been erased by Professor Snape.

For this reason, Professor Snape also said such things in a weird way in class.

Van Lin was very skeptical that his small actions had been discovered by Professor Snape, although he now had more things to do, but most of the foundation was left by Professor Snape.

Van Lin sighed, it seemed that the night's operation had failed again, maybe he should change his method and use black magic to lure Rita out, and then directly attack Rita with a spell?

However, Van Lin decided to arrive at the Screaming Shack first, which was the place he wanted to be captured, no one to disturb him, and Dumbledore's magical protection.

However, when Van Lin stepped into the screaming shack, the magic pattern set up at the exit was instantly triggered.

This couldn't help but make Fan Lin's heart flutter.

The magic pattern he had set up at the entrance to the secret passage did not move, but it was felt at the entrance of the screaming shack.

How did Rita get around those patterns?

Fan Lin's figure paused slightly, and he was a little suspicious if there was something wrong with his magic pattern, or ......

But the feedback given by the magic pattern is indeed two people, and the first person to pass is him, and the later one is naturally Rita.

It couldn't have been Harry, Harry had no reason to follow him in his cloak of invisibility, and it was impossible for Harry to get around the magic pattern at the entrance to the secret passage.

Van Lin settled down and continued to walk inside.

If Rita is in his neighborhood right now, then he should be acting a little more normal.

Although he was not sure, Van Lin still extended his magic power down the floor into the magic pattern that had been prepared.

Seal the screaming shack, which he had planned to do in the morning.

Rather, should this be considered a good enough respect for Rita?

In fact, Van Lin was just planning to experiment with the magic array.

He had seen Voldemort's ability and directly used magic to block the entire space, and Van Lin's current ability couldn't do this at all, but Van Lin was very scared to the end, and he couldn't apparition himself.

I can't let him show up with Harry.

People outside of the Three Witches Fighting Contest were mixed in the competition, especially when he received the news that the International Federation of Magic would send someone to supervise the third mission.

Van Lin is very concerned about how to get into it by himself, it seems that he still has to rely on Dumbledore, and besides, there are some things that Van Lin feels that Dumbledore needs to know.

Those vampires are now helping Voldemort with things, so it's clear that what they're looking for must be what Voldemort needs.

Maybe it was a powerful wand, or maybe some dark magic item, and Van Lin wondered if Voldemort already knew a secret about his wand, or if he had something extra for Dumbledore.

Van Lin shook his head, he turned on the lights of the screaming shack, and sat down on the couch.

For Rita, I really gave enough respect.

Think of the magic patterns that are all over Hogwarts, the Dark Arts, and even the Dark Magic he has to cast to make sure Rita takes the bait.

That's a bit of a fuss.

Vanlin suddenly thought about what Rita had used.

She is an illegal Animagus, and as long as she searches for it according to the magic structure of Transfiguration, she can naturally lock on to Rita's location very easily.

There weren't many people at Hogwarts who had mastered the Animagus, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Dumbledore......

Belch...... Dumbledore wasn't sure yet, but once the scope was narrowed down to a certain point, it wouldn't be so troublesome, for example, catching an inconspicuous bug in a confined space.
