Hogwarts Asylum

"Merlin's socks, what is Rita Skeeter crazy about?!"

In the corner of the office of the Assistant Minister of Magic, a young man screamed at the "Daily Prophet" in his hand.

"Huh? Has Rita Skeeter done something big again?" Rufus, who was talking, turned around and asked.

Rufus had originally planned to use the Ministry of Magic to suppress Skeeter in order to improve his girlfriend's status, but it failed, so he was a little curious about this woman who could make his uncle jealous. If she could commit a crime on her own It would be better if a wrong click results in a demotion.

"See for yourself." The young man commanded his wand, causing the newspaper to float to Rufus' desk.

Looking at the newspaper headlines, Rufus' first reaction was that his Betty was about to be promoted.

Because this woman, Rita Skeeter, is indeed crazy. She openly goes against the Ministry of Magic!

I saw an entire front page of the newspaper was an article written by Rita Skeeter, titled "Good and Poor Werewolves Don't Deserve to be Hurt."

Rita Skeeter, who was sitting in her office, actually didn't want to. She had always been very aware of current affairs. She would at most criticize the officials of the Ministry of Magic for her faults. She would not easily write articles denying the policies of the Ministry of Magic. But who told her to accept it? An anonymous letter arrived.

There was a despicable man who was threatening her with her secret!Why would her secret be known? !

Skeeter cursed the villain who didn't even dare to reveal his name countless times, but there was no way. In order to keep the secret, she could only do what the anonymous letter said. Fortunately, the anonymous villain didn't ask for too much, it just If you want to have fun, it doesn’t matter what the fun is.

But recently, apart from the werewolf hunting unit, there is really no fun, so Skeeter can only do it by herself. Isn't it just to criticize the policy? It's not like she has never done it before. Anyway, she has collected all the things in the house that may violate the rules. Get up, you are not afraid of being investigated, and what the executives of the Daily Prophet like most is this kind of content that can cause controversy and ignite sales.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

There was a knock on the office door, and Skeeter raised his head and said, "Come in."

The person who walked in was Betty Braithwaite, who was wearing a light blue loose magic robe, but her figure could be seen at a glance.

"Rita~" Betty ran towards Skeeter and hugged her arm.

"What are you doing here? I asked you to interview a vampire?" Skeeter pushed Betty away angrily. Although Betty had grabbed several headlines from her recently, she actually didn't care. Her position as the top of the newspaper was not just based on Acquired from literary talent.

There are a lot of inside stories involved. Betty is still too young. If this girl is not careful, she can easily be eaten up by those high-level officials. Even if she has an uncle who is the boyfriend of the Minister of Magic, it will be useless.

"I heard from Rufus that things with vampires are no longer possible, and not many people like to watch those dark creatures jumping up and down." Betty sat opposite Skeeter, "So I wanted to ask if I could Going to interview werewolves with you? I read the article you wrote, those werewolves... they are really pitiful."

When Betty read Skeeter's article, she shed a lot of tears. This was the first time she knew that werewolves were such pitiful creatures. No one wanted to make friends with them. If they couldn't find any job and didn't have any savings, how could they survive? Have to be hungry often.

If this were the case, werewolves wouldn't be able to survive. After all, they can still hunt in the wild. However, the Ministry of Magic has recently introduced the "Anti-Werewolf Law" and established a werewolf hunting unit. It really wants to kill the poor wolves. People were driven to death.

"No!" Skeeter flatly rejected Betty's idea. She didn't get first-hand information from interviews, so how could she let Betty follow, but she couldn't say this, "That's too dangerous. Although the werewolves are very pitiful, but Isn't the reason why the magic world is so afraid of werewolves because they sometimes can't control themselves? What if one of them bites you?

Or do you no longer care about your new boyfriend?He is the nephew of the Minister of Magic. By doing this, we are openly opposing the Ministry of Magic. Aren't you afraid? "

Betty curled her lips and said: "Rufus... he is like a piece of wood. You know, I told him that I had a stomachache and it was inconvenient, and he actually asked me to drink some hot water! And..."

Betty kept talking about her boyfriend's shortcomings, such as not liking to take a bath, not shaving, etc. One after another, those who didn't know thought she was talking about some homeless man.

……

In Hogwarts Castle, Peter finally managed to get from Gryffindor Tower to the semi-underground Hufflepuff common room. During this period, he met many cats. When those cats saw him, they seemed to go crazy. He chased him like crazy, but fortunately he tried his best and still escaped. Otherwise, the headline of the Daily Prophet tomorrow might have been - the first person in history to be bitten to death by a natural enemy in the form of an Animagus. wizard.

There was no one around the Hufflepuff common room now, the students seemed to have gone to class.

When I was in school, I heard someone said that there was wine hidden in the barrel at the door of the Hufflepuff common room, so at that time James and Sirius hung around here every two days, as their two followers, Peter and Len. Of course Mus was there.

Although the wine was not found in the end, everyone was very familiar with the area. Peter knew very well which of the barrels here were empty and which contained oil to prevent intruders, so he easily found an empty barrel. The barrel is hidden.

It's actually not bad to live near here. It's warm semi-underground. Although the air doesn't circulate very well, it's enough for Peter in his mouse form. At least it's better than sleeping in little Weasley's arms.

And another advantage of living here is that the Hogwarts kitchen is nearby, which is what Peter discovered with James and the others at the time, right behind the fruit painting.

Peter suddenly closed his eyes. What happened? Why did he start to think about things in school? Didn't he abandon the past long ago... and... he wasn't very happy at that time...

In fact, he didn't want to betray James and Sirius, but... he really... really wanted to be the leader for once. He didn't want to be a follower anymore, but he didn't have the wealth and talent of the two of them, so he had to... …

I don’t know how Remus is doing now. As a werewolf, he must be very lucky...

No, I can't think about it anymore, Peter shook his mouse head.

After taking a few deep breaths and regaining his composure, he began to look around to see if there were any strips of cloth left by students nearby. It would be more comfortable to sleep on them, and he would have to go to the kitchen to sneak something to eat later.
