Chapter 477 Goblet of Fire
The tool used for broadcasting was broken by Rove, and Rita was not panicked. Her specialty was the pen, but her mouth was weak, unable to exert her ability to turn clouds and rain.
Rita sat down on the edge of the pool, shaking her legs wrapped in stockings provocatively, and said with a smile on her face:
"Mr Scamander, you don't like the radio, so let's just report in words, I'm good at writing stories.
Well, unleashing lightning without a wand... powerful wandless spellcasting? "
As soon as Rita Skeeter finished speaking, the green quill began to write wildly, and the tip of the pen slid across the parchment deftly.
"No, Ms. Skeeter, you made a mistake. You are not interviewing me today." Rove smiled slightly and said softly, "I am interviewing you."
Rita was really stunned this time, and the quill stopped in mid-air.
Rove ignored Rita's head scratching, but looked straight into her eyes, and asked in a cold voice:
"Not long ago, someone bought information from you...I want to know the location of Nicole Flamel's estate, right?"
Hearing the boy's words, Rita shrank her pupils first, then quickly recovered her composure, and said with a delicate smile:
"I don't even know where Nicole Flamel's estate is, so how can I sell information?"
"If you don't know...then how did you get that group photo last summer?" Rove sneered and said:
"Your rumors caused me trouble very early on, and I have never pursued you, but don't blame me for being rude when it comes to your door today.
To be honest, I don't mean to be rude to you, but Ms. Skeeter, you better be honest, or I don't mind being unconventional with you. "
"Unconventional means?" Rita looked bright, staring at Rove's handsome face, licked her lips, and said:
"My old lady, I like not to take the usual path... Son, don't take pity on me, let me see the famous Scamander, how rude he can be... oh come on baby!"
As soon as Rita's words fell, Rove stretched out his right hand like lightning, twisted her wrist holding the wand, and then he exerted force with five fingers!
Rita's wrist seemed to be pinched by iron clamps, and her wand fell to the ground with a loud clang under the sting.
Rove lifted his right knee up and bumped into Rita's abdomen. She immediately turned pale and squatted on the ground, her body curled up, and her eyes were filled with tears. She almost thought she was going to die.
Luo Fu, who was not at all sympathetic, turned on the faucet and rinsed his unclean hands after going to the toilet.
He flicked the drops of water, and remembered that he didn't bring a tissue, so he squatted down, using Rita's expensive robe as a rag, carefully wiped off the water on his hands, and then said softly:
"Satisfied with my service, ma'am? Shall I step up?"
Rita, who was squatting on the ground with her belly in her hands, raised her head and gritted her teeth: "How dare you hit me?!"
"Isn't it normal for a guy like you who spreads rumors, provokes confrontation, and does everything for newspaper sales?"
Rove looked at Rita, who couldn't keep her composure, and said calmly:
"You can yell at people, it doesn't matter if you yell out your throat... But you sneaked in for an interview without permission. Do you think the Auror who yelled is to arrest you, or to arrest me?"
Rita's eyes showed a hint of unwillingness and anger. She scratched Rove's face with her sharp nails, but the boy easily avoided him.
Rove grabbed Rita's big curly hair violently, lifted it up, and then connected a hand knife, slashing at the woman's neck. She was so painful that gold stars popped out of her, and she almost fainted.
"I said... I said..."
Rove let go of Rita's curly hair, smiled, and said earnestly, "I wish I had been like this earlier, why bother to suffer so much."
Rita covered her neck, her face was full of pain, and she said with a sad face:
"The summer before last, I tracked down the wizards who attended the funeral, and determined the approximate location of Nicole Flamel's estate, but I couldn't enter because of the Fidelity Curse.
I also sold the information... I didn't see that person either, they traded by letters..."
"It's just you." Rove narrowed his eyes, but he didn't expect Hermione to guess right.
"If that person contacts you again and wants to buy some information, you can tell me."
It was Peter and Voldemort who bought the information. Although Peter is dead, Voldemort is still alive. Maybe he will find Rita someday.
Rita rubbed her neck and asked cautiously, "Who is that person?"
"You don't want to know who he is." Rove stood up and announced, "Okay, my interview is over."
"Rita Skeeter...you can arrange me randomly in the newspaper, but you must be prepared to bear the consequences. My anger is not something you can bear."
After Rove finished speaking, he walked away and never looked back.
Both of Rita's legs were limp, and she sat slumped on the wet ground. The water stains wet her purple stockings and pants, but she didn't care, she just took a big breath.
After a while, Rita stood up with the support of the sink. She took out the makeup mirror from her bag, reapplied her makeup, and regained her calm look. She said excitedly:
"A tough boy...but I like it."
Rove walked out of the bathroom quickly and walked towards the conference room.
A lot of people are afraid of Rita, think being targeted by her is like a fucking potion, she will also sniff out secrets, and write edited articles, and her reputation will be ruined.
But Rove is really not afraid, he knows that this woman is an illegal Animagus, who relies on turning into a beetle to eavesdrop on intelligence.
As long as there is this handle, it is enough for Rove to hold Rita and make him obedient.
Don't look at Rita jumping so badly now, she will feel better in the future.
Rove walked along the corridor and returned to the conference room. At this time, most of the representatives had left, only Dumbledore and Karkaroff were still here.
In addition, there is one more person in the room.
Looking at the familiar figure, Rove asked in surprise, "Mrs. Maxim, why are you here?"
Maxim, who was wearing a purple satin robe, turned around and saw Rove, smiled and said:
"Rove, you are still in the German Ministry of Magic. I thought you had left early... I was invited by Dumbledore to come to the meeting."
Rove hummed, and was about to say goodbye and leave when Dumbledore beckoned and said:
"Rove, let me introduce you... This is Professor Karkaroff, the headmaster of Durmstrang."
"Professor Karkaroff, hello." Rove walked over and said with a smile, "We just met and had a good conversation."
"Oh, what did you guys talk about?" Maxim asked.
"It's about the ranking of the school." Rove said: "Karkaroff said that Durmstrang is ranked tenth, which is far inferior to Hogwarts, which is ranked sixth."
"Hey, you can't say that." Dumbledore waved his hand modestly, but couldn't hide his smile and said: "Hogwarts still needs to work hard, and it's not far beyond the level of its friends."
Karkaroff's face froze. He did say these words, but they were obviously used to refuse Scamander's transfer. This kid didn't mention it at all.
Just as he was about to refute, Rove spoke first, pointing to a large wooden box inlaid with jewels on the table, and asked:
"What's this?"
"Goblet of Fire."
Maxim smiled and opened the box, took out a rough wooden goblet, handed it to Rove, and said:
"It is used to select brave men to participate in the Triwizard Tournament."
