381. Dig a pit for Rita Skeeter
Out of the door, everyone gave Field a thumbs up, and Ginny kissed him excitedly.
"We're going to have to be careful with Rita Skeeter's counterattack in the days that followed, and that guy won't let us go. Field reminded some of his smug friends.
"I'm not afraid of her!" Hermione said nonchalantly, "My parents don't read the Daily Prophet, so she can't hold on to me." β
Field shook his head, expressing concern that bed bugs like Rita Skeeter were actually very troublesome, and she didn't care if you had a handle on it, because she was really good at making up stories.
"Shall we go to Hagrid, Field, Rolf?" Hermione asked suddenly, looking up.
"No, Rolf and I have been to Hagrid's Cottage for three days in a row, and we haven't seen anyone else. Field shook his head.
"Okay, let's try it today. With that, the Harry trio ran in the direction of the pasture.

Field and Rolf each go on their first date with their girlfriends. Of course, this may also be Field's wishful thinking, as he has always felt that Rolf and Luna have actually dated together many times.
Ginny took Field's hand and strolled down Hogsmeade Street, they went to visit the Literati's Quill Shop together, picked up a pack of Field's goods at the Devez and Bans shop, and finally went to Lady Pardiff's Tea House for afternoon tea. It is said that this teahouse with its gaudy decoration is one of the must-visit dates for couples, but after sitting for a while, Ginny says she doesn't like it.
Field struggled for a while, and finally told Ginny that he had actually been here last year with Parvati Patil, who had been pretending to be a couple with him for half a year in order to get rid of the entanglement of Indian shamans.
Ginny said that she understood very well, and the honest girl was not jealous, she said that when Field had a dispute with an Indian wizard last year, she went to the professors, and she understood Field's situation at that time.
The two chatted a lot, and their original dislike for the teahouse was also pressed.
As the communication between the two deepened, they found that there were actually many common prophecies between the two, the most obvious being family.
First of all, the two families live very close to each other now, and we played together for several days during the holiday last year.
Then, Mr. Weasley and Mr. Diggory are colleagues in the Ministry of Magic, and Mrs. Diggory and Mrs. Weasley work together on Magic Television, and they also have a common hobby, which is to talk about children, so they inevitably talk about each other's family when they go home. Ginny, for example, knew that when Field was one year old, he turned Cedric's saliva into a crystal lotus.
In the end, in addition to their respective family members, the two talked more about Hermione and Harry. Ginny is Hermione's best friend at Hogwarts, and Hermione and the fourth-year Gryffindor girls have a mediocre relationship, but they get along well with Ginny.
And Harry, Ginny told Field that she used to admire Harry because she had listened to Harry's stories since she was a child.
"But the year before last, after the Secret Room incident, I had one more object of worship, and that person was you, Field. β
At this point, Ginny's entire cheek was red.
The two of them were tired of being in the teahouse for a long time, and it was not until the sun went down that they returned to the castle in the sunset.
After dinner, Field went to the small club as usual, but before he could calm down and sort out the materials for the rune study, the three Harry came running to him.
They told Field that they had found Hagrid in Hagrid's hut in the afternoon, and that Dumbledore was there. After their persuasion, Hagrid finally pulled himself together. They were here to inform Field, and to discuss with Field how to teach Rita Skeeter a lesson.
"Field, could you please have your mother do an interview on Magic TV and tell everyone about Hagrid, so that everyone knows that the Daily Prophet report is inaccurate. Hermione suggested.
Field shook his head and said, "The focus of Magic TV is on the Dark Wizard riot at the Quidditch World Cup, and if you suddenly broadcast about Hagrid, it is easy for the audience to misunderstand, and now in the case of Hagrid, the best way to deal with it is to keep everyone silent, as long as no one pays attention to Rita Skeeter's report, things will fade." β
"So what are we going to do and just let Rita Skeeter go?" said Ron, resentful.
"It's not impossible!" Field thought.
"What's the solution?" asked Harry, a little excited, now feeling bad for that ugly woman from Skeeter.
"Harry, go back and give Hermione your map of the living spots. Field looked at Hermione and Harry, who were puzzled.
"Hermione, you'll need to look for Rita Skeeter's name on the map every once in a while. β
"I suspect she's an Animagus, not registered with the Ministry of Magic, the illegal kind. β
Hermione's mind lit up as she listened to Field's words.
That's why she was able to sneak into Hogwarts and overhear Hagrid's conversation with Lady Maxime on the day of the Ball. β
The more Hermione thought about it, the more certain she became, "Then her Animagus form must be a very small animal, or a mouse like Peter Pedirus, or even smaller, so no one noticed her." β
After that, the three of them made up a lot of brains and began to figure out how to catch Rita Skeeter, and when Ginny and Luna arrived, they joined in, and a 'grandiose' plan began to take shape.

The next morning, while Field was still having breakfast, Harry came to him in a hurry.
"Field, I've figured out the secret of the golden egg. Harry said excitedly.
"Oh, what a surprise!" said Field, giving him an annoyed look, "the second race is less than a month away, and now you tell me to find the clue." β
Harry smirked awkwardly, then asked, "Field, help me figure it out, I'll have to breathe in the water for at least an hour during the game." β
The transfiguration class is about to begin, and the two agree to meet in the library in the evening, and then go to class separately.
By the time Field found Harry's trio in the library after dinner, Hermione had spread out a large sheet of paper on the table with a lot of methods written on it.
"Fly to spell a set of scuba over here!" Field's glance.
"This is what I came up with. Ron smirked, "Harry said that Muggles breathe underwater through this device. β
Field shook his head and said, "It's not realistic, the black lake is very deep, and the scuba may not last that long." β
Ron didn't give up and said, "Maybe, Field, you can help with the transformation." β
Field still shook his head, "It's not that you can transform it, I don't know about scuba, and it's that kind of big thing, even if the transformation is completed, Harry can't wear it alone, and no one can help Harry during the game." β
After saying that, Field looked at the second one, which was Hermione's handwriting, but it was crossed out after writing.
"Human transformation?" Fielde pondered.
Hermione flipped through a tome and said, "That's the ideal way, if Harry learns this spell, he can turn into a submarine or something." β
"Unfortunately, it's something you won't learn until at least sixth year, and even if we could get a book, I don't think Harry would be able to learn it in a month. β
When Harry heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Field, "Maybe Field, you can use Transfiguration to turn me into ...... that day"
Before Harry could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Field: "They all said that you can't have anyone else to help you during the game." β
Field ruled out the methods that Harry and the three had come up with, one by one, until Harry and Ron sat listlessly in their chairs.
"What do you say, Field?" said Harry, angrily.
Ron chimed in, "Yes, Cedric must have already figured out a way, is he just using human transformation? β
Field shook his head and said, "I didn't ask. β
Then he wrote a spell on that piece of paper.
"The Bubble Head Charmβthe simplest and most convenient spell that lasts more than an hour with Harry's magic. Field said.
"Oh, yes, it's not too complicated, I'm sure Harry should be able to learn it in a month. Hermione said.
"I think so, other warriors are likely to choose this spell as well, but it doesn't have much advantage, unless Harry can swim faster than anyone else in the icy waters, such as Krum, who insists on swimming in the Black Lake for an hour every morning. β
Field's words made everyone a little frustrated, after all, everyone knew that Harry could only be regarded as a swimmer.
"This is only an alternative, is there any other way?" asked Hermione.
Field got up, walked through the shelves, rehearsed the letters, and after a long time, returned with a book.
"The Wonders of the Mediterranean Aquatic Plants and Their Properties, what's here?" asked Hermione, curious.
Field flipped through it, and after a while found a page with a picture of the plant, which was spread out in front of everyone.
"The branchial sac is an aquatic plant in the Mediterranean, which is a very rare material, and may be used in some unique potion recipes, eating it can cause people to grow gill flippers and move freely underwater for more than an hour. Field introduced.
"That's it!" Harry exclaimed, much to the displeasure of Mrs. Pince.
"Very rare?" Hermione picked up the point, "Field, do you have one with Rolf?"
Field shook his head and said, "We don't have much in stock, we don't have it in stock." β
"Where are you going to get it!" Ron scratched his head.
"Gill sac grass?" Neville's voice suddenly came from behind a bookshelf, startling everyone.
"Neville, you're scared us to death. Ron grumbled, "Do you know where there are gill sacs?"
Neville nodded, and said, "Professor Snape has it, I saw it in his office last time when I was in confinement, have you forgotten Field?"
Field patted his head and remembered that he and Neville had dissected the horned toad all night that night, and he didn't care about it because he thought about it.
"If there is, I'll go to George and Fred to figure it out. Ron said and walked away.
