Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

"Rita, Kist?"

Astoria recognized this reporter from the Daily Prophet who was famous in the wizarding world at a glance. She almost controlled the direction of public opinion in the entire British wizarding world.

"The second young lady of the Greengrass family, I have admired her for a long time."

Rita herself can chat with anyone, which is her basic accomplishment as a reporter, and with her keen gossip perspective, she can already tell that the relationship between these two little guys is not ordinary.

Astoria, who was sitting opposite her, held her little hand tightly in Louis' palm and stared at this woman with some vigilance. She didn't have much affection for this woman. After all, she had published an article criticizing Osne a few years ago. Special article.

"What are you doing here?" Her tone was quite unkind, and she returned to her usual indifferent attitude towards outsiders.

"Your little boyfriend asked me to come, but I didn't want to come here myself."

Rita spread her hands helplessly. As the number one writer for the Daily Prophet, her career was naturally at its peak, and she was naturally unwilling to let go of good news content.

"Come and ask her for a favor."

Facing Astoria's confused expression, Louis explained to her. And Rita took out the quill and small notebook very professionally.

"Tell me what it is."

Lewis took a sip of coffee calmly, feeling the impact of the taste. After thinking about it for a few seconds, he slowly said:

"Have you ever heard of Jokowi's Joke Shop?"

"Zoko?" Rita's writing paused, "That popular shop in Hogsmeade?"

Louis nodded.

"This popular shop may be related to what happened thirty years ago."

"Thirty years ago?" Rita frowned. She searched her memory, and then seemed to remember something.

"You mean, it was the seizure of black magic items thirty years ago?" She clicked her glasses down.

"That incident was a big deal back then. It was the biggest vicious incident before the Dark Lord became famous. It was also because of that incident that the formation of Knockturn Alley was promoted."

"But what does this have to do with Joko?"

"Zoko is the remnant of that incident. They are secretly making dark magic items in their shop."

Rita Skeeter paused for a moment and said coldly:

"Speak with evidence."

"This sentence is quite funny coming from your mouth." Astoria interjected, but there was not much emotion on Rita's face.

Louis carefully placed the quill on the table and pushed it in front of Rita Skeeter.

She looked at the quill, an inexplicable fear flashing in her eyes. Her green pen trembled slightly.

"Is this evidence sufficient?"

"Idiot." Rita's lips trembled slightly, "You have no idea what you are dealing with."

"What's the meaning?"

"Nothing." Rita sighed, "What are you going to do?"

"Let's wait for two more people." Louis said, "Oh, by the way, I need you to use it, Animagus."

"Okay..." Although Rita was very reluctant, she still agreed to his request for the sake of the gold Galleons Louis gave her. After all, no one can live with money.

In the end, it was she who had the final say whether it would be published in the newspaper or not. When the time came, she would just give him a reason and fool him.

Rita Skeeter's figure shrank instantly, and under Astoria's shocked gaze, she turned into a small insect and hid it in Louis' pocket.

"Who else are we waiting for?"

When Louis said this, Astoria couldn't wait. She didn't know why, but she also quite liked this feeling after following Louis on adventures over the years.

"They should be arriving soon." Lewis was very calm. He did not specify who the two people were. "Yes, they are here."

The door to the private room opened, and two red-haired teenagers came in, the Weasley twins.

"how's it going?"

"Li Qiaodan is watching them in the store." Fred said immediately, "You can go there now."

"Okay." Louis put down the coffee in his hand, "Let's go, Astoria."

"Um."

Four people, plus Rita who was hidden in the cuffs of Louis' clothes, passed through the rush of people and arrived in front of Zuko's Joke Shop.

The shop that used to be bustling with traffic now doesn't have many customers, and the audience for magic jokes is not very large. In fact, many of the things in it are on the red line of the law. After all, if you are not careful, you will get hurt.

Joko's store doesn't seem to be very big, and a few golden fonts are the most valuable symbol of the store. According to Fred and George, Zuko used to be the busiest place in Hogsmeade. However, in recent years, the rise of some surrounding shops, coupled with Hogwarts' increasingly strict system for the use of magic items, Makes jokes and prank magic have no customers.

But even though the business is empty, Joko is still able to continue to run the store.

Louis pushed the door open and walked in. An antique atmosphere hit his face, and all kinds of tricky jokes and magic filled the table. He could see that what was displayed in the window were Jokowi's best-selling products, such as poison powder, slap agent, fantasy pills, etc.

"Welcome to Zuko's Joke Shop. We have the best prank magic in the UK. Please buy it if you need it. Um...who are you?"

The clerk's originally enthusiastic face changed instantly, and she saw Fred and George following Louis.

"Mr. Weasley, you are not welcome here. Please get out."

"We are not here to cause trouble today." Fred said. He was not angry because of the change in the clerk's attitude. "We want to talk to your boss."

"Boss?" Zuko's clerk sneered, "Just because you guys still want to see our boss, I'm telling you, even if the Minister of Magic comes here in person..."

"I don't want to talk nonsense to you." Louis interrupted her directly, "I know some of your secrets here. If you don't want these things to be exposed, it's best to ask your boss."

"Kid, are you threatening me?" The clerk felt a little funny. She didn't feel that Louis' words could put much pressure on her.

"Okay, you guys, stop messing around in the store and get out quickly. Don't delay our business."

The clerk was obviously impatient with them, and she ordered the customers to be kicked out again.

"What if we don't leave?"

"I'm sorry if you don't leave." The clerk looked coldly and held the wand in her hand, "Don't say I bully you then..."

The two sides were in a stalemate, and Louis did not give in. He knew that someone was hiding in the dark and watching them.

Just when the two parties were about to start fighting, an old man slowly walked down from the stairs on the second floor.

"Okay, Olim, please calm down your hot temper. They are also our guests after all. How can you treat them like this?"
