Watching Rita orchestrate the love triangle between Harry, Ron, and Snape, Rove couldn't help but take a breath.

He didn't dare to speak out to Professor Snape, but Rita was so bold...... I'm not afraid to come to Hogwarts again one day and be given a potion!

It can only be said that Rita deserves to be the most daring reporter of the new award!

But then again, although the content is a bit fake, it still makes people watch it with relish when it comes to celebrities, cheating, teacher-student love, etc., and want to know the follow-up content.

That's what makes Rita so powerful, she understands the expectations of her readers very well.

In comparison, her other report during the Christmas holiday is more unremarkable:

[Dumbledore's major mistake]

Our special correspondent Rita Skeeter reports that the eccentric Arbus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, has always dared to hire controversial teachers.

In September of this year, Moody, the violent Mad Eye, was hired as a teacher for Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

This decision came as a big surprise to many in the Ministry of Magic.

However, compared to Hagrid, the teacher hired by Dumbledore to teach the protection of magical creatures, Mad Eye is conscientious and kind......]

In this article, Rita combs through in detail the Defence Against the Dark Arts professors that Dumbledore has recruited over the past few decades:

There are dark wizards, liars, smugglers, vampires, and squibs who pretend to know magic...... Anyway, there is no good person.

Finally, she also revealed Hagrid's identity as a half-blood giant in the article, and implied that he might be Dumbledore's illegitimate son in order to be cared for by the Headmaster for decades.

To be honest, except for the illegitimate child, the rest of the content is quite objective.

For example, Hagrid illegally crossed the human-headed sphinx with a fire crab to breed the dangerous fried snail and forced the students to take care of it.

Rove sighed slightly, and he asked Hagrid to hand over the snails more than once, and reminded him not to talk about it everywhere...... Okay, now something is wrong, right?

"How is Hagrid doing now?" Rove asked.

"I don't know." Neville shook his head, "Hagrid hasn't eaten in the Great Hall since this report came out, and no one knows where he's gone. ”

"I don't know if he'll come to class in a while."

"Probably not." "Hagrid should be in hiding for a while," Rove said. ”

Rove guessed correctly, when they arrived at the cabin, they didn't see Hagrid, but an elderly witch instead:

She was in her early sixties, thin and stern, with a long face, a pointed chin, and small ears, and her black hair was a little gray, but her eyes were as bright as agate.

The witch saw Rove, walked up to him, and asked, "Son, do you remember me?" ”

The Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students both turned their heads to look at Rove, how could there be people everywhere he knew!

Rove stared at the witch, searching his memory for a moment, then remembered:

"Oh, you're ...... Mrs. Wilmina Graplan? ”

A rare smile bloomed on Wilmina Graplan's lips.

"It's me, kid, I'm afraid you don't remember me, the last time we met, you were only nine years old, not much older, not much older than elves, and now much taller than me.

If I hadn't seen a picture of you in the newspaper every day, I wouldn't have recognized you. ”

Rove remembers that when he was nine years old, he and Newt visited the Hebdili Islands and lived in the McFasti family for most of the year.

Speaking of the McFacesti family, they are also an ancient pure-blood family, able to communicate with fire dragons and domesticate them.

It is rumored that in their family, there is a magic horn that can forcibly control the fire dragon.

Therefore, McFace is also known as the Dragon King family.

This is not an exaggeration, as they have lived in the Hebdili Islands of Scotland for generations and have always cared for the island's black dragons.

Even every child of the McPhasti family, when they were young, would choose a newly hatched black dragon as a companion and raise it themselves!

And the children of the Scamander family, at the age of ten, can only choose one of the magical animals of the three royal families—Sniff, Salamander, and Tree Protector Cauldron—as a companion.

In comparison, it is indeed a lot shabby!

The witch named Wilmina Graplan in front of her was also a wizard of the McFasti family, but she later married, married Graplan, and changed her husband's surname.

She is also a dragon expert and a magizoologist, and is half of Newt's student.

"By the way, when I came to Hogwarts, Elenia asked me to say hello to you." Grapeland Says:

"She said she really wanted to meet you, and she had a bet with you back then."

When Rove heard the name Elena, he also tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Elenia McPhasti is Graplan's grandniece and is the same age as Rove.

The year she chose the Black Dragon, Rove was also on the scene, and then the Black Dragon cub she chose was almost abducted by Rove...... The two of them also got into a fight over it.

Elenia relied on her early development and was a head taller than Rov, so she proposed a father-daughter game, and whoever loses will be called Daddy.

Rove was already able to do magic by then, so he easily defeated Elenia and made her call her father for two months...... Of course, it's time when there's no one else!

Unexpectedly, Elenia still remembered this and took the initiative to mention it, she wouldn't want to get back on the field, right?

Speaking of which, Rove was still curious about why he didn't see Elenia at Hogwarts when he entered the school.

He later learned that the McPhasti family had maintained a tradition of receiving a magical education in their own home.

Rove exchanged pleasantries with Professor Graplan, and as class time arrived, Graplan said:

"I'm Professor Graplan, and I'm your temporary substitute teacher for the Conservation of Magical Creatures class, and I'm going to be teaching for the rest of the year."

"Where's Hagrid?" Justin asked, raising his hand.

"Hagrid is sick." "He needs to recuperate for a while. ”

Everyone looked at each other at first, and then quickly became happy, after all, changing teachers meant that they didn't have to deal with fried tail snails anymore.

Sure enough, instead of taking the students to the pumpkin patch, Professor Grapeland walked around the stables towards the Black Lagoon.

They walked through the snow one foot at a time, and soon came to the edge of the black lake.

More than half of the Black Lake was frozen, and the big ship on the lake, Durmstrang, docked in the lake, looked very strange, like a ghost ship that had just been salvaged.

Professor Grapeland stood on the shore and said loudly:

"I'm going to teach you about merfolk in this lesson."
