Van Lin sat quietly on the sofa, with a candle on the table in front of him.

After a few minutes or so, Van Lin's perception caught something, something that didn't originally belong in the screaming shack.

That familiar transfigurative vibe?

It's a joyful thing.

The Beetle moves its fat body, which is absolutely unique among the Beetles.

Keep in mind that the Animagus Transfiguration will also retain the characteristics of a transforming wizard.

A fat beetle?

Forgive me for not reading much, but I've never seen a beetle that fat.

Van Lin's eyes narrowed, but the corner of his eye swept to the clumsy-looking body.

The beetle moved cautiously, she was almost ready to see what was on the paper, a strange magic array, a terrifying aura.

She was close to making it.

Just as Rita was preparing to record the side, her body was suddenly struck by a ray of light.

Before she had time to think too much, Rita felt her body become a little sluggish.

This is...... Incantations?

Rita felt that her head was a little too much to turn, and she tried to turn her head, but the instructions from her brain could not guide her body at all.

Like an old man in her last years, Rita felt like her mind was about to be frozen.

Rita felt herself fly, and then her head was on Vanlin's face.

Van Lin looked at Rita with a smile, as if he had seen some interesting prey.

Myself...... Will it die?

At this time, Rita's only thought, she desperately wanted to hook the magic in her body in order to rush away from the damn magic.

"I advise you not to try it out, Miss Rita, or I don't think the Ministry of Magic will come to pursue a Hogwarts wizard for a miss...... Oh no, it's probably the fault of a beetle that stumbled on it. ”

Rita's mind went blank, and she didn't know what was wrong, but it was clear that she had been caught in a trap.

Black magic?

......

When I returned to the castle, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

In order to get back to the school before Professor Snape patrolled, Van Lin ran desperately at the risk of being discovered by Mr. Filch's cat.

That cat is so bad looking, do you lose the cat?

Fortunately, however, Van Lin was able to come back, before the fat lady could babble nonsense.

By the way, Van Lin also rescued Neville, but Neville still didn't remember the fat lady's new password.

"Where have you been?" Hermione looked up, the girl was studying the structure of her own magic, the matter of house-elves seemed to have hit some bottleneck, and Hermione's thesis didn't work very well.

"Be prepared for some little surprises. Van Lin laughed, and he hurriedly walked over to Hermione and sat down.

Usually at this time, it is the two of them who occupy the sofa in the Gryffindor common room.

But there were two more people today, Harry and Ron were holding a rare book and looking at it carefully.

"What are they doing?"

"Study the spells. Hermione said, "Harry wanted to master Transfiguration, and Malfoy was so arrogant that Harry decided to teach Malfoy a lesson in Moody's way." ”

"Oh, that's a good idea, even if it doesn't work out completely, but it's not bad to turn Malfoy into a half-man, half-beast. Van Lin casually returned, and then he placed the bottle in his hand on the table.

"What are you doing?" Ron looked at the bottle in surprise, "What a big beetle, did you go out to catch this, or is this some kind of magical creature?"

Ron shook the bottle with his hand, and the fat beetle was like a stone, striking the glass bottle with a clanging sound.

"Ron. Hermione said, "If this is a magical creature, you'll kill it sooner or later." ”

"Oh, almost. Ron said, "We've killed a lot of beetles in Snape. ”

"It's okay...... "It's not an ordinary beetle, but maybe she likes it." ”

"So?" Ron shook the glass bottle again.

The beetle in the bottle felt as if it had died, and the hard shell on its back kept hitting the bottle.

"This beetle is fat. ”

"Fat, to be exact, fat is the word for a beetle......" Harry took the bottle.

The pattern on the beetle is very unique. Harry felt familiar, but Harry couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"What breed is this?"

Van Lin shook his head and didn't speak, he just took the bottle back.

"For you, Hermione. Van Lin said, shoving the bottle into Hermione's hand.

"Give it to me?" Hermione looked at Van Lin in surprise, "uh...... I remember, the potions I contacted recently didn't use any beetle juice or anything, or was this beetle special?"

"It's really special. Van Lin touched his nose, "Haven't you always wanted revenge, Rita Skeeter's report, and besides, haven't you always wondered how Rita knew about these things?"

"But what does this have to do with beetles?" Hermione scrutinized the contents of the bottle.

An obese beetle, Hermione had never seen such an unusually obese beetle, and it seemed that crawling was a problem.

However, it didn't take long for Hermione to think about the crux of the matter.

"You mean, this beetle is ......"

"Anyway, I'll leave it to you, I think, you can have a good breath, like Ron, and shake the bottle. Van Lin said.

He was confident that Hermione would be able to make Rita realize her mistake, but given the girl's dark belly, it seemed that he needed to help.

"I should have thought of it, otherwise how could she have bypassed so much magical surveillance. Hermione's tone trembled with excitement, and it was obvious that the girl's happiness was hard to hide after solving this trouble.

"What surveillance?" asked Harry, a little confused.

"Rita Skeeter!" Hermione said excitedly, "Otherwise, how could she have broken Dumbledore's rules, damn it, I never thought she was an Animagus, and the pattern was exactly like her glasses." ”

Hermione's face flushed, "She's definitely an illegal Animagus, there are only seven Animagus registered with the Ministry of Magic in the twentieth century, I didn't expect Rita to have the same talent as Professor McGonagall, it looks like this woman is not useless, this gift is simply amazing." ”
