"Okay, but Mr. Potter you really can't tell anyone else." Rita's attitude weakened, and she looked at Harry wistfully.

Harry didn't respond: "Look at your performance." ”

Rita turned her head, and poor Baba looked at Hermione and Ron.

Hermione didn't say anything.

Ron followed Harry's example and said the same thing a little immaturely, "Look at your performance." ”

Rita gritted her teeth, what happened to these little wizards?

"How's that the thing I asked you to investigate?" Harry asked.

Rita took a deep breath: "Those things aren't easy to get your hands on. ”

Expressionless, Harry waved his hand downwards and motioned for her to sit down, "Looks like you got it." ”

Rita was stunned, and felt more and more that Harry was not like a fourth-year wizard, how could he be so sharp at this age, as if he could see through people's hearts, and discover his inner thoughts, could it be that his soul dementorship was strong enough not to be discovered?

"I didn't use the Dementor for me." Harry waved his hand again, "Sit down, let's talk slowly." ”

Rita's face turned green.

Guessing your mind so accurately, it's useless?

This group of Soul Remembrance Masters is really annoying!

She still didn't sit down, and pulled out her wand: "Mr. Potter, how about we make a vow, it's unbreakable"

Harry didn't speak, just stared straight at her, and his cold, calm gaze made her voice gradually stop, and her raised hand slowly drooped, and she sat down, "Okay, I see." ”

Rita took a deep breath, waved her wand, and with a few groans, a stack of paper documents flew out of her small satchel.

Soon a fist height was raised.

"These are the lists of former Death Eaters on the staff of the Ministry of Magic." Rita's eyes lit up, and when it came to gossip, she seemed to come back to life, "To be honest, it's really hard to imagine that nearly a third of the former Death Eaters are still working in the Ministry of Magic. ”

Ron gasped, his eyes full of shock.

Hermione was also taken aback.

"If this could be published in the Daily Prophet, it would have caused the biggest sensation." She thought excitedly, her cheeks flushed.

Harry picked up a copy.

"August Luckwood, Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic."

A brief introduction about him is followed.

He picked up a second one.

"Walton McNeill, an official of the Magical Beasts Management Committee of the Ministry of Magic."

At the top are the "former Death Eaters" who are still working in the Ministry of Magic, and the people below are those who are not working in the Ministry of Magic and are looking for a way out.

"Very good." Harry nodded, "What about the second thing?" ”

Rita continued: "Mr. Potter, I have to say, your request is really troublesome. ”

"That's Azkaban, and although the Dementors will have less of an impact on me after becoming Animagus, it still makes me very uncomfortable, and I take a big risk."

Harry raised his hand and lit the table.

Rita paused, and quickly changed her words: "I went to dig up the grave of Barty Crouch Jr., his bones are in it, although it is unrecognizable, but I am very sure that it is the body of a young man." ”

Hermione and Ron flicked through the papers, moving their stools farther away from Rita.

Rita gritted her teeth and looked at the two little wizards.

What do you mean!

I didn't just dig the grave and come back immediately.

It's been a few days, and I don't know how many times I have taken a shower, and I have cleaned it inside and out.

And when digging, use spells, not do it yourself!

It is absolutely impossible to get the stench of a corpse or anything.

Besides, I'm doing things for Harry, helping your dearest Harry!

"Are you sure that person is Barty Crouch Jr.?" Harry asked, "Can he still see his face?" ”

Rita was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "Of course not, he has been dead for more than ten years, and his body has long been decomposed." ”

"Are you suspecting that the man who died was not Barty Crouch Jr.?"

Her face became more excited, and she subconsciously took out her quill and notebook, and when they rested on her knees, she realized that this situation was not suitable for taking any notes, and put her things back in her bag.

Harry nodded: "You go to Crouch's house to check and make sure that the dead person is Barty Crouch Jr." ”

Rita willingly agreed: "Of course, I'd be happy to." ”

As a journalist, I have a natural curiosity and enthusiasm for exploring this kind of gossip without any risk.

"And what about the third thing?" Harry continued to ask.

Rita's face froze.

"Tell me about your progress." Harry frowned slightly.

Rita sighed: "This matter is really difficult, Tom Riddle, such an ordinary, ordinary name, there is no one in the Hogwarts little wizards with this surname, I really don't know what you are looking for his information for." ”

She's still trying to find out.

Harry didn't speak, just looked at her in silence.

Rita restrained her face and controlled her professional habits: "At first, I didn't find this person in the Ministry of Magic, and there was no trace of him. ”

"But since you said it, I think he must have existed."

"So I went to the area where the secret files were kept, which I had not dared to set foot in before, and finally found some information related to him."

She paused as she spoke: "It's just that those files are protected by magic, and I can't bring them out, so I can only dictate them to you." ”

Harry gestured to her bag, "Write it down with a quill pen." ”

Rita took out her belongings, opened her notebook, and was just about to put down the quill when she paused again: "Mr. Potter, can you borrow one?" I'm working on this one, and it may not be very good at memorizing my words. ”

With a wave of her wand, Hermione flew towards her with a quill on the table.

With a snap, it slammed into her face, knocking off her glasses.

"Sorry, I didn't control the spell." Hermione grimaced, withdrawing her wand.

Rita held her glasses steady and smiled sweetly, "It's okay. ”

In my heart, I took a hard spit.

Are you when I don't recognize you?

Miss Hermione Granger, the lioness of Gryffindor House, the finest little witch in the fourth year except for Harry, was even approved by the Ministry of Magic to use the "Time Turner", which is a magic item that only the best, most outstanding, and most comfortable young wizards are allowed to use.

You can't use spells well?

It's as ridiculous as Mr. Potter's sudden recklessness and innocent cuteness.

Rita cast a spell and put the quill in her notebook: "Tom Marvolo Riddle, born on 31 December 1926 in Little Hangletonshire, was an outstanding graduate of Slytherin House at Hogwarts, and once reported Rubeus Hagrid during the Chamber of Secrets incident, earning himself a special contribution award. ”

With the surname "Riddle", his mother turned out to be the famous Gaunt, it is hard to imagine that Gaunt would be married to Muggles, and almost no one knows that this Mr. Riddle is a descendant of the Gaunt family. ”

She paused, expecting to see a little ripple in Harry's face.

But Harry's expression was flat, as was Hermione next to him.

Only the little boy from the Weasley family had a slight change in expression, but it was not surprised or shocked, but complicated, frowning, this was an expression of disgust and disgust?

Well?

Why do you have this expression?

Even if the Weasleys are indeed not very close to purebloods, they are purebloods themselves, so they will not dislike purebloods to this extent

"But he didn't grow up in the wizarding world, but he was abandoned to a Muggle orphanage, where he grew up, but that didn't affect his excellence. ”

After graduating with twelve "O's", the Ministry of Magic offered him many excellent positions, even in the Department of Mysteries and Law Enforcement, but he didn't say yes and went to work in a magic shop in Tumbledown Alley. ”

"And then"

"There is no record of him, and his life seems to have come to an abrupt end."

Rita slowed down, "Out of curiosity, I infiltrated the store as an Animagus, but there wasn't a single employee named Tom Riddle there. ”

"What's that store called?" Harry asked.

Rita immediately replied, "Borgin Bock." ”

Harry nodded, and Rita couldn't control her curiosity - at first, she thought it was a dangerous person, but after investigating, she realized that this person's resume was excellent, but it was also mediocre.

It can't be compared to Harry, it's not legendary at all, and in her eyes, it's just a copy of Miss Hermione Granger.

Maybe

Mr. Potter was just intimidating himself that night, but in reality this person was not dangerous?

And he's been gone for almost fifty years, so even if you ask for some news about him, it won't have any effect.

She hesitated for a moment, then spoke cautiously, "Mr. Potter, who is this Mr. Tom Riddle?" Why would you want to know about him? ”

"I can trade you for another interesting thing."

"One of the judges of the Triwizard Tournament, Ms. Umbridge, you know, right?" She made up her mind to express her sincerity, and she spoke up first, telling her news, "She has always claimed to be a pure-blood, and she is related to the Selwin family. ”

"But she's actually half-blood, her mother is a Muggle, and she has a Squib brother, and her father is a cleaner for the Ministry of Magic, and the one whose surname is Umbridge."

There is no shame in origin.

But she thinks that her background is shameful, and she still conceals her identity and resists her relationship with her father, which is very shameful.

Hermione frowned in disgust, no wonder she didn't like the toad-like woman from the first glance.

Ron's face turned disgusted.

"It seems that you really want to know the identity of Senior Tom." Harry's tone was calm, "Since you're so sincere, then I'll continue with what you just said." ”

Rita sat upright, waving her wand and letting the quill take note of Harry's words.

"After Senior Tom left that shop, he disappeared for ten years, and when he came back again, he used magic to change his appearance, and no one could recognize Tom who was once good and handsome, and he changed his name."

Rita was stunned.

Harry continued, "And the name is familiar to you. ”

"Voldemort."

"That's the name he's been using since his makeover."

Rita shuddered, she looked at Harry in horror, like falling into a cold cave, her blood and her heart beat stopped in an instant.

Tom Riddle, who was born in a half-blood, is the "extremely pure-blooded" Dark Lord?

It's a little late, sorry,

There are two more chapters at 22 o'clock in the evening
