The more Rita talked, the more excited she became, and she even got completely immersed in the topic at the end.

But a crisp girly voice pulls Rita back to reality: "Sister Hallie, she's lying!" ”

Hedwig stood on top of Hallie's head and stared at Rita:

"When she first started saying this excuse, I could feel that she was not confident and kept thinking about reasons to perfect it."

The expression on Rita's face changed slightly, and she continued to maintain the smile on her face: "How is it possible? How could I deceive a child? ”

"And, Potter, why do your owls talk? I don't think you should trust it, it could be ...... by some black magic"

"Thank you, Hedwig." Harley ignored Rita and nodded neatly and clapped her hands gently.

A spider silk ripped a berry from a nearby branch and threw it directly into Rita's mouth, blocking what she was about to say next.

At the same time, Harley's pair of gloves emitted an invisible spiritual light.

"Bribe!"

"The will to twist and lie is off the rails!"

"Shock, Mental Oppression!"

"The Law of All Laws, Lies Are Forbidden Here!"

"Judgment and criminals are mentally punished by the invisible whip!"

"The spirit and will of the judge and the offender will be weakened!"

Given enough time, a witch can torture or lure out the information she wants from anyone who can't resist.

But in the field of interrogation, it is the lawyer and the arbitrator who are the extraordinary people who are the professionals.

Under the powerful oppression of a variety of extraordinary abilities, Rita felt that she was being brought to layers of invisible shackles, and her spirit was greatly oppressed and impacted.

"Well, dear Miss Kister, please repeat, why are you here?" Hallie asked softly.

Although it is limited by extraordinary abilities, the extraordinary abilities of the lawyer path need to be slowly stacked in order to exert its maximum power.

Rita is not a criminal now, and the Law of Ten Thousand Laws does not mark it, making the effect of deterrence not particularly perfect.

And Rita herself is also a wizard who is not weak, and the bloody scenes she has seen in her special journalist career over the years have brought her a strong will.

So instinctively, Rita subconsciously said:

"Didn't I say that before? I'm here to investigate the possible existence of illegal farms in the Forbidden Forest......"

"Ah——!h

Before Rita could finish her words, she was forced to swallow it back into her stomach.

Instead, there was a terrible scream.

Harry's glove glistened on her right hand, and the Law of All Laws marked Rita as a criminal, and the ability to judge began to punish her.

Restrained and unable to move, Rita began to pound her head against the trees in an attempt to relieve her pain.

She had felt as if a steel whip had been struck at her soul, and her head felt as if it had been split in half by a blunt axe, causing untold pain.

Under the pressure of this pain and other extraordinary forces, Rita's eyes became somewhat blank.

"You see, it's useless to lie. No one can lie within my magical range. ”

Harley whispered, a strange haze in her voice.

A turquoise glow flowed behind her eyes, and the curse and dark magic of the Witch Path weakening type were in effect.

The black flame also condensed out of thin air, turning into a small snake, gently licking and eating Rita's cheeks, bringing Rita greater psychological oppression.

"Come, tell me, why are you here?"

Under the pressure of multiple extraordinary abilities, Rita replied in a confused tone, "I want to make a big news." ”

Rita then began to tell the story of her plans.

She has been using her Animagus form since before Easter to keep an eye on the Hogwarts perimeter.

At one point, she heard Hagrid complain to her big black dog at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, saying that Harley had infiltrated the Forbidden Forest all the time, but he hadn't noticed it once.

Rita, who caught this, immediately began to change the time, resting during the day and waiting outside Hogwarts at night.

She has always believed that to make news, you need to make different and exciting news.

The daytime life of a Sir Merlin Medal winner of the Order of Merlin is not a big news.

But it's big news that such an excellent student violates school rules and often sneaks into dangerous places like the Forbidden Forest at night.

If Harley were to do something dangerous in the Forbidden Forest, such as experimenting with some dark magic, the news would be even more selling.

Rita was already very happy with what she had gained tonight.

Harley slaughters the dangerous dark creature Eight-Eyed Spider in the Forbidden Forest, and uses a wandless spell to disembowel.

As long as this is well choreographed and matched with photos, this is definitely a big news that can cause a sensation in the wizarding world!

She had already thought of the title, "Butcher or Demon? The dark face of the youngest ever Sir Merlin Order Medalist! 》

As soon as this title comes out, combined with his own spring and autumn brushwork, as well as small hints in various aspects, it can definitely create an image of a perfect evil wizard.

Rita has even imagined that she will make a lot of money from this news and greatly increase her fame.

As for what Hallie will think of people in the future, she doesn't care.

What does the life or death of others have to do with oneself? As long as you make money yourself, it's enough.

After listening to Rita's words, Harley shook her head.

Seriously, she appreciates Rita's mentality. In a world of magic and extraordinary powers, only such people can live longer and better.

But Rita is at fault, she provokes herself, that's the fault.

That's enough.

Hallie waved her wand, and the tip of her wand spewed out a stream of cold water that poured it on Rita's face.

The effects of various extraordinary abilities have also been slightly reduced, becoming softer and skewed in the direction of induction.

Harley was going to keep the beetle under control.

As an ageless witch, she is well aware of the influence of public opinion, and she also understands how important a good journalist is to establish the image of the subject of her report.

It took a while for Rita to come to her senses.

She tried to reach out and rub her head, which was still in severe pain, but found that her hands and feet were tied.

Rita didn't have time to think, she just followed her instincts, shook her head, and gradually recalled her previous memories.

The confused expression on Rita's face gradually turned into horror: "Potter, I ......"

But she couldn't speak, as the sneaker against her chin gently pushed upwards to force Rita shut up.

"Dear Miss Kister, aren't you speculating in the newspapers about whether I'm the next Dumbledore, or the future Dark Lord?"

"I think you can know the answer today, and you can write a report and publish it in tomorrow's "Ghost Daily", are you happy?"

Harley's voice was gentle, but Rita grew panicked.

What is Ghost Daily? It was a joke referring to the news circulating among the ghosts.

Hallie's words are almost a clear indication that she wants to turn herself into a ghost!

This made Rita extremely frightened, and she felt that she had chosen the wrong target this time.

You know, although Rita pursues special news, there are certain restrictions on who she reports.

She had seen many scenes of Dark Wizards and pure-blood wizards torturing Muggles, and had seen their cruel methods.

Just reporting the news can cause a big earthquake in the wizarding world.

Why didn't Rita report on these situations? It's not because they can kill, and they really dare to kill!

Rita knew that it would be difficult for that group of shitty people from the Ministry of Magic to catch a truly ferocious dark wizard.

What's more, many high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Magic are also involved in these things, after all, there are many Death Eaters who escaped justice or their relatives.

Rita wasn't a stupid person, a stupid person couldn't learn from Animagus, and she couldn't be a reporter in the wizarding world for so long.

She doesn't want to be retaliated against, so she only chooses those magicians who are moral, famous, and extremely broad-minded, and stares at them to report negative news.

After all, these people don't kill people, at least they don't deal with themselves because of this little thing.

But today I probably planted it.

She had thought that Harry, as an apprentice brought out by Dumbledore, would also be a white wizard with exemplary morals.

Now Rita realizes that she was wrong, and instead of reviewing her qualifications as a White Wizard, she should pray that Harley will become a White Wizard so that she can get her life back.

She looked at Harley with a frightened gaze, whimpering and trying to make a sound, but couldn't say a word.

"You saw those eight-eyed giant spiders before, and you took pictures, so you must be impressed."

Hallie continued, "And guess what I'm going to become?" The Dark Lord or the Sage? Or is it ...... The White Devil? ”

With that, Harley retracted her feet so that Rita could speak.

But Rita swallowed and couldn't say a word.

"Tut-tut, the psychological quality is really poor." Harley jumped off the spider silk, shook her head, and waved her hand lightly.

The spider silk disappeared in an instant, turning into a cloud of light.

Seeing this scene, Rita's pupils shrank, and although the restraints on her body had been lifted, she still didn't dare to move.

"I feel like your life is in my hands, even more fragile than this hair, but I suddenly don't want to kill you."

Harley didn't even look at Rita, wrapping her hair around her fingers, "You're useful, so we might as well make a deal." ”

"You are not allowed to write bad things about me in the newspapers in the future, hmm...... And Hermione...... And bad things about my other friends. ”

"On the contrary, praise me in the newspapers and steer my image in a good direction."

"In the meantime, you're going to have to help me find out some information. I haven't figured out exactly what the information is, but I'll let you know when I need it. ”

"Of course, as a deal, I won't reveal that you're an illegal Animagus, and you can continue with your career as a journalist you like."

Harley's voice was full of bewitchment and carried an unknown magic. And the extraordinary abilities around her also cooperate with the activation, affecting Rita's thinking ability.

Rita nodded hurriedly: "Of course, Miss Potter, I can praise you every day." ”

"And if you want to know anything, I can tell you. I have a lot of secrets in my hands now, including evidence that some psychopathic pure-blood families went to foreign countries to plunder Muggles and brought back to torture and kill. ”

She didn't hesitate at all, this condition was already good in Rita's opinion. As long as you can survive, it's better than anything else.

"Looks like you've already agreed. But I don't need that kind of information for the time being, and I'll contact you when I need it. ”

Hallie nodded, her fingers straining slightly, and the hair wrapped around her fingertips broke and turned into a turquoise glow.

The light instantly sank into the back of Rita's hand, converging a mark on it.

It was a symbol of the primordial witch.

But in a world where there were no primordial witches, Harley unceremoniously took it to herself.

"A handy imprint through which you can contact me." Hallie snapped her fingers, and the mark faded instantly, and finally disappeared completely.

"The method of controlling the imprint is also left in the imprint, you just have to concentrate and you can understand it."

Rita looked at the mark on the back of her hand, as if she remembered something, and gasped.

Originally, she only had the fear of death and the desire to survive in her eyes, but now there were some strange emotions.

The mark that Harley had made, and the means of communication it could provide, reminded her of a man, that terrifying mysterious man.

The Mystic Man is good at the dark arts, and likes the Drill Heart Charm and the Death Curse, while the Black Flame and other types of magic that Harley used before are no different from the Black Magic.

Mystic Man loves to kill, and in the later stages of Mystery's activity, he will even kill some Death Eaters who have made great mistakes.

And Harley easily killed six eight-eyed giant spiders just now, and even two of them were killed with their bare hands, no matter how you look at it, she is not a kind person.

And now this mark is exactly the same as the legendary black magic mark, which can be used for communication, and even more complete than the information that the black magic mark can transmit.

Sweat was streaming down Rita's face, and she felt like she was witnessing the birth of a new Dark Lord!

Now that I think about it, some of the rumors in Tumbledown Alley might be true: Why did the mystery man deal with Harley Potter who was still a baby?

Why didn't Halle get blown to pieces, but instead made the mystery man lose his powers?

There is an unacceptable, but very plausible conclusion: Harry Potter is a born Dark Wizard who can even threaten the status of the Mysterio!

Rita, who felt that she knew something, became more humble: "I'm happy to serve you, great Harry Potter." ”

Although I don't know what Rita has made up in her head, Harley can guess from her expression.

But Harley didn't care, just waved her hand, "Then it's decided, Miss Skeeter." ”

"Good night and good dreams."
