"Animagus...... No wonder she can write so many exclusive articles. ”

On the way back, Connor couldn't help but say, "After all, beetles are too common, and they don't arouse the suspicion of others, she must have eavesdropped on many people's secrets with this one." ”

"That's for sure." Kyle nodded.

Rita Skeeter was so nervous just now, I'm afraid it was because she knew too much......

Or if the news that she can turn into a beetle spreads, many people who have done bad things will have trouble sleeping.

Like the names she just mentioned.

Ludo Bagmankel could guess that eighty percent of it was related to Jin Garon.

When the Quidditch World Cup was first played, Mr. Weasley placed a Galleon bet on Ireland to win, but he still hasn't paid the prize money.

But Mr. Weasley himself didn't pay much attention to this, and he didn't ask Bagman for it, and according to him, it was as if he was paying for the tickets.

But for the other two names she said...... The story between Fudge and Dolores Umbridge is not clear to Kyle.

If you think about it, a Minister of Magic, a senior deputy minister, the secrets of the two of them must be very strong.

To be honest, Kyle is quite curious, and if he has the chance, he can ask around and eat a big melon.

Of course, the premise is that Hagrid's affairs need to be solved first......

"By the way, Kyle, how did you know that Rita Skeeter was the beetle......" Connor asked curiously as she reached the kitchen hallway.

"It's easy...... Kyle gestured to his robes, "Because I'm in constant contact with Noble, it's inevitable that the smell of fire dragons will be left on my clothes, so under normal circumstances, those insects can't stop on me...... Unless it's an Animagus.

"Also, if you look closely, you can see that the lines on that beetle are very similar to Rita Skeeter's hairstyle."

"I know that." "Professor McGonagall mentioned that the animals that Animagus became always retain some of the characteristics of wizards, like the cat she turned into with framed lines around her eyes. ”

"That's it." Kyle nodded, "But under normal circumstances, few people will notice this, the smaller the animal, the more so, and even if they do, it will be difficult to contact the corresponding person......"

By the time they returned to the Hufflepuff common room, there were already a lot of people there, sitting in soft armchairs, chatting and playing wizard chess.

Kyle had never experienced such a lively Christmas holiday, and he was a little unaccustomed to it for a while.

"Where did you just go?" Cedric walked over. "I was talking to Cho about what to do to get Hagrid back on his feet, do you have any ideas?"

"Maybe it's not necessary." Kyle and Connor glanced at each other and explained to him with a smile.

And after hearing that Rita Skeeter is an Animagus, Cedric also acts surprised.

"I see, I'm glad you found her." Cedric said, then frowning slightly, "But the question is, are you sure that Rita Skeeter will say good things about Hagrid in the newspaper?" ”

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but when he said this, Cedric subconsciously looked around, as if to make sure that there were any bugs here.

"I'm sure she will." Kyle shook the camera in his hand.

After all, he had already hinted that only if he was in a good mood, he would help hide the photo that recorded the whole process of her transformation.

And whether he is in a good mood or not, it all depends on the report about Hagrid in the next issue of the Daily Prophet.

Kyle believes that Rita Skeeter is a smart person who must understand what he means. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to bounce like nothing for so long after reporting so many infuriating reports.

"Great, you're all here." At this time, Fleur and her sister Gabrielle also came over.

After getting Professor Sprout's permission to move here, Fleur suddenly found that this place was even better than she had imagined.

She only moved here because of Connor at first, but she didn't expect to make a lot of new friends here...... Friends from the bottom of our hearts.

Then Gabrielle came, and gradually, they seldom returned to Beauxbatons' carriage unless necessary.

This time it was the same, they couldn't wait to come back just after Christmas.

"Kyle, how are you studying the stones?" Fleur sat down on a chair and asked, "The second project is about to begin, have you found the secret in the stone?" ”

Hearing this, Cedric and Cho also looked over.

"Nope." Kyle shrugged, "Believe it or not, I haven't touched those rocks since the first project ended, and they're probably still throwing around in a corner right now." ”

"What did you say?" Fleur was a little surprised.

If it were someone else, such as Krum, she would definitely not believe this kind of statement, and would only assume that the other party did not want to disclose the news.

But Kyle ...... Seriously, she didn't seem to see Kyle take out the rocks, and in his free time, he was playing wizarding chess with Cedric or those two roommates.

"Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" Kyle said, "Now that the second project starts, do you need to be in such a hurry?" ”

"It's Ms. Maxim." Fleur hesitated for a moment, and did not choose to hide it, and said generously: "She told me that you may already know the clues of the stone, and that you left the school with a professor in order to prepare for the competition. ”

"She's probably talking about Professor Black." Kyle thought for a moment and explained, "We left school because we had some personal matters to do and nothing to do with the game. ”

"I believe it." "It's just that Madam Maxim made sure I asked, and then I came."

"But Kyle, aren't you really going to study the stones? Now there is just time for us to be together. ”

"yes, we can help too." Connor said as he spoke, and Cedric nodded immediately.

"Ah, I won't, you can study it." Kyle said, "I think it's better to make it a little more difficult, otherwise it won't be interesting if it's too easy...... Cedric, do you want a game of wizarding chess? ”

As soon as the words ended, the entire common room suddenly fell silent.

The chatters stopped talking, the chess players pinched the piece and forgot to put it on the board, and everyone turned their heads and looked at Kyle with an incredulous look.

Especially Hibiscus.

She rubbed her ears, as if she didn't hear clearly, and asked word by word, "You say...... Easy to play? ”

"yes." Kyle, who was placing the chess pieces, said casually, "It's pretty simple, don't you think?" ”

"I'm sorry, I don't think so." Fleur said through gritted teeth.

It's hard to describe how she looks now...... In short, it's ugly, if the mixed-race Meiwa can also transform, then she may grow a sharp beak and feathers in the next second.

She was almost tormented by the Bludgers in the second level, and finally squeezed all her magic power and broke most of the Bludgers before she barely cleared the level.

Not to mention the fire dragon in the third level...... was whipped by the Hungarian tree peak, his arm was broken on the spot, and nearly a third of his hair that had been carefully maintained was burned off by Dragon Burn.

If she hadn't dodged quickly, she would have become the first warrior to not finish the game.

What about Kyle...... This kind of dangerous game, simple?

Is this human talk?

Fleur gasped for breath, finally suppressing the urge to scold, then stood up without saying a word, turned her head and left.

Although she also knew that Kyle had an easy way through the level, and even almost got a perfect score, it was a bit too annoying to say that the game was easy so bluntly......

Fleur secretly swore in her heart that if she came to Kyle again to discuss the stone, she would be the leprechaun, or the ugliest one.

……

"What's wrong with her?" Looking at Fleur's back as she left, Kyle asked suspiciously.

"Hmm...... I think so......" Cedric said hesitantly, "sometimes you can be a little more tactful, after all, she has had a great deal of effort to get through those three levels." ”

"Oh...... Sorry, I forgot. Kyle slapped his forehead, "Do you think it's too late for me to apologize?" ”

"I think it's better not to go." Cedric smacked his lips, "There's a good chance she'll not listen to you, and maybe she'll beat you up." ”

"That's right." Kyle scratched at his hair.
