HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Licorice thinks that the occasional love-brained personality is a good camouflage.

It was really interesting to see Hermione's cute face, which always said "there's nothing I don't know", showing a confused expression.

Potter's face was even more interesting. He could only stare at himself blankly with all kinds of emotions mixed together.

Your partner throws a love topic to you, and the two who have no complete love experience are completely unable to respond - Hermione and Krum are more than friends but less than lovers, and Potter has a one-sided love for Cho Zhang.

What is Rita Skeeter, who is being missed by everyone, doing?

Rita Skeeter is at a drinks party.

The gathering and banquet were joyous and lively, and all the pure-blood wizards present were dressed in gorgeous clothes.

While everyone was chatting, she flirted with a handsome man and touched his cheek. She quickly turned around and followed a young couple, and there was no one around the corner.

The two quarreled, cursed at each other, and finally kissed.

After the two people left, they had no idea that a witch was sitting on the empty bench the next second, and she eavesdropped on the whole process.

Rita Skeeter transformed from a beetle into a human form, quickly recorded the gossip, pushed up her glasses, stood up and returned to the cocktail party.

As if she had never been out, Rita Skeeter raised a glass of wine to toast the host.

When Rita Skeeter returned home, she saw an owl on the balcony. It was the owner who wanted to interview Harry Potter himself.

"I will be there as promised."

Hogsmeade.

Hog's Head Bar.

"There are so many people here." Rita Skeeter was hit by the unpleasant smell as soon as she entered the room. She frowned in disgust and reached out to fan away.

Lycoris was the first to arrive.

She saw Rita Skeeter raise her hand, motioning her to come over.

Rita Skeeter saw Lycoris waving her hand toward her and hurried over.

Seeing her approaching, Licorice rolled her eyes quickly, indicating to her that it was not safe here.

The Hog's Head was certainly not safe.

The wizard arranged by Dumbledore is specifically responsible for guarding Potter. As long as Potter leaves Hogwarts, she or he will protect Potter's personal safety.

Lycoris chose the Hog's Head Inn to meet the two parties because of the "visible" Potter's guards and the "invisible" Death Eater minions.

Lycoris has to stop Rita Skeeter from calling her "Master", otherwise if Dumbledore gets wind of something, he'll suspect her of causing trouble.

"Ms. Snape, it's an honor to see you again." Rita Skeeter understood what she meant and sat face to face with her.

"Nice to meet you, too, Ms. Skeeter." Lycoris turned and motioned for Aberforth Dumbledore to bring the drinks.

"I'll have a bottle of butterbeer," Lycoris motioned for Skeeter to order.

Rita Skeeter thought of the bartender using a dirty towel to wipe the glass, and immediately followed with a bottle of butterbeer.

Just as they were ordering, Hermione came in with Harry.

"What would you like to order? It's my treat." Lycoris smiled at Hermione and Potter.

"Butterbeer?" Harry asked for approval.

"Butterbeer!" Hermione blurted out, thinking of the shadow of last time.

"Four bottles of butterbeer." Lycoris paid the bill, and soon Aberforth Dumbledore brought four bottles of butterbeer on a tray with a look as if he owed her money.

Harry looked at Hermione and put the paper bag he had been carrying on the table.

The sound of metal hitting wood is very pleasant.

"Here is 100 gold Galleons as your fee. I hope you can write an article truthfully and publish it in Witch Weekly." Harry didn't want to use "honorific language", but Hermione just said on the way that he must pay attention to his tone.

Lycoris didn't have any way to smooth things over with Rita Skeeter, so she had to rely on herself.

Owl letters cannot be too detailed to avoid being intercepted, just like Potter's Hedwig.

After we met, before we had said a few words, these two came.

Rita Skeeter was confused by this sentence, but she quickly extracted the key words: 100 gold galleons, cost, truthful, and published in Witch Weekly.

Rita Skeeter, who came from Ravenclaw, was very smart and understood what it meant.

She smiled and said, "Don't you know? I don't accept designated manuscripts!"

Rita Skeeter glanced at the paper bag but did not take it.

Harry was confused by this sentence. Why was what she said different from what Lycoris said?

Don’t accept designated manuscripts?

Hermione rolled her eyes, realizing what she meant by wanting to raise the price.

If she had not accepted the assigned manuscript, she would not be in the Hog's Head Bar and sitting here at this moment.

"Ms. Skeeter, 100 Galleons is a lot of money." Hermione looked at her and said, "Everyone will remember you for what you have done."

Lycoris also realized that Rita Skeeter was raising the price, while Hermione wanted the original price and used "morality" as an inducement.

You are wrong, Hermione, Rita Skeeter has no morals!

"You guys chat. Now that the matchmaking is successful, I'm going to go out for a walk." Licorice spoke during the game between the two parties, trying to get out of the situation.

"Leaving now?" Rita Skeeter turned her head and looked at Lycoris.

No other requests? Just writing an article?

"You left?" It was Hermione who asked in a puzzled tone.

Middleman, are you leaving now?

"You're leaving?" This was Harry, looking a little reluctant.

Hermione and I are not familiar with Skeeter, so why did you leave?

"I'm just taking a walk. You guys just focus on your work and don't bother me." Licorice took the butterbeer and really left.

She walked towards the painting, her special friend.
