But these cattail fluffy things, they eat insects!

Sure enough, the next second, the Puffy girls discovered Rita's presence.

Tongues lashed out like whips, even intertwining and weaving into a net as they fought for her.

Rita desperately twisted her arms into wings, trying to escape, but ordinary fluffy creatures were her natural enemies, let alone Dolly's enhanced fluffy creatures.

Finally, it was caught by a fluffy tongue and was about to be swallowed.

Helpless, she could only reveal her body, break free from Pu Rongrong's tongue, and squat down on the ground.

Qiu Zhang stared in astonishment at Rita's appearance. The cunning, cute, and tender look on his face instantly turned into one of disgust and revulsion. He casually drew his wand and used Petrify All.

Rita wanted to draw her wand to fight back, but she was no match for Cho Chang's speed.

"She's actually here!"

Cho Chang exclaimed in a low voice, "I understand! She's an illegal Animagus! Dolly, let's tell the professors and send her to Azkaban!"

Qiu Zhang was a smart man and immediately understood everything.

She even realized that Dolly might have known this all along, which was why she was so indifferent to Rita. Indeed, that was the case. Dolly loosened her grip on her wand and said, "No rush, Cho, let's see what she's really up to."

Dolly used a cleansing treatment on Rita, wiping away the drool from her body, and then she and Cho Chang checked her over.

The press release, quill, and wand that she had been holding were quickly taken out by the two girls.

Dolly curiously examined the quill pen, while Cho Chang eagerly opened the manuscript. Within seconds, her face turned deathly pale, and she excitedly aimed her wand at Rita again.

"You...bastard!"

In his anger, Qiu Zhang even started speaking in his hometown dialect.

248

Chapter 248 Rita's Loyalty.

Dolly became curious and quickly tried to take a look.

But Cho Chang simply used the tip of his wand to spew flames, burning it completely.

Dolly looked at Cho Chang with regret. Cho Chang tried to remain calm and comforted Dolly, saying, "It's okay, don't look at those dirty things."

Ah!

Dolly felt her heart skip a beat.

Qiu Zhang actually said to her, "Good girl!"

This feeling is quite novel.

After all, Dolly had always acted assertively, and it seemed that even her parents had never used such words with her before, yet now she was hearing them from Cho Chang's mouth.

Although Akiyoshi was a little careless with her words because of the atmosphere, Dolly nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay."

Dolly's appearance surprised Cho Chang, who realized her words were inappropriate as soon as she opened her mouth.

But there was no time to think about that now. She continued to point her wand at Rita, pondering what kind of spell she could use to torment her and vent her anger.

"Grin and hula!"

Finally, Qiu Zhang came up with a suitable spell.

Rita, petrified, couldn't move, but her facial features could still function; otherwise, this curse would have been a murderous curse.

Now, Qiu Zhang has added the "Grinning and slurping" spell, which can make people burst into laughter. So, Rita, who was petrified, started to laugh out loud. Because she couldn't move her body, this laughter made her whole body tense and painful. She also coughed constantly because of her own vocalizations, and she was tormented to the point of losing consciousness in just a few seconds.

Seeing this, Dolly felt a pang of pity, so she took out her wand and cast a silencing spell.

Now that things were quiet, Dolly relaxed.

She then took Qiu Zhang's hand, made her sit down, and said, "Okay, don't be angry."

"Although I don't know what she wrote, it's all over now, isn't it?"

"Or should I extract that painful memory from you just now?"

"Do not."

Qiu Zhang gritted his teeth and replied, "If I forget all that, I will change my attitude towards her."

"Dolly, it doesn't matter that only I saw it now, but if she really wrote it in the newspaper, slandering your relationship with Malfoy, and the whole wizarding world points fingers at you, how painful would that be for you!"

Qiu Zhang felt her head was about to explode at the thought of what would happen to her; she might not be able to bear the pressure and would commit suicide.

Clearly, Qiu Zhang, as a girl from an Eastern family, although she has shown a strong enough rebellious spirit, is still essentially bound by ideas of honor and face.

Of course, Dolly doesn't hate these things.

If Cho Chang had truly forgotten all of this, she would just be a white woman who looked like an Asian, and that wouldn't be as attractive to Dolly.

"It's very simple."

Dolly took Cho Chang's hand, placed it in front of her, and gently kissed the back of her hand, saying, "When the time comes, I will publicly announce on the four-colored collar that I like girls. Anyone who dares to point fingers at me is discriminating against me, and I will take revenge on them. Let's see how many people dare to insult me ​​then."

After saying that, Dolly proudly raised her head and puffed out her chest. She had finally said those words!

Although it was said in a joking tone, once it happened the first time, it happened again, and then there would always be an opportunity to say it seriously.

Qiu Zhang stared at Dolly in surprise, completely ignoring Dolly's joking tone. He was so excited that he wanted to ask Dolly if she was serious, and he almost forgot that there was someone being tortured next to him.

Just as Qiu Zhang was about to lose control, a sound of vomiting came, and the pungent smell instantly broke the ambiguous eye contact between the two girls.

Cho Chang looked at Rita with disgust, raising his wand to clean her up, but Dolly beat him to it, using Restore to normal.

So Rita swallowed what she had spat out, and that's when Dolly used Cleanse.

Dolly's expression was alright, because she had seen many grand scenes of brewing potions and sacrificing herself before.

Qiu Zhang pursed his lips, not daring to look too long, and even covered Dolly's eyes, afraid that Dolly would feel nauseous.

This feeling of being cared for almost made Dolly faint in Cho Chang's arms.

But now they still needed to deal with Rita's situation, so Dolly and Cho Chang held hands and used the Curse Stop on Rita.

Rita quickly stood up and tried to fight back, but the next second Dolly used a bell to hang her from the ceiling.

To prevent her from shouting, Dolly even added a silencing spell.

"It seems she still hasn't learned her lesson. Let's wait a little longer."

Dolly simply lay down on Cho Chang's lap and started playing with Rita's wand and quill.

She was quite curious about the quill pen, and soon she discovered its magical properties; it turned out to be just a beautifully crafted man-made magical item.

Its logic is somewhat similar to that of a magic wand; it has no independent thought and simply writes reports according to Rita's own habits.

If I really had to give an example, it's a bit like artificial intelligence in the future, and Rita is training it.

Once Dolly understood this logic, she lost interest.

Of course, Dolly was still very interested in the magical principles behind it, because it meant she could create something similar to have a few girls guest-edit it.

Dolly might consider returning the quill to Rita.

So Dolly released Rita's silencing spell, waved the quill pen around, and said, "Crookshank, how about you play with this toy?"

Rita was completely unable to resist this time and hurriedly said, "No, please, don't do this, it's very important to me!"

"Okay, let me go, give me back the quill, and I'll leave like this."

"I promise I won't write any more gossip about you, and I won't reveal anything I saw here, okay?"

"That way we'll be even."

Qiu Zhang's angry chest heaved again. Just as she was about to say something, Dolly quickly patted her chest to help her catch her breath.

Why does Chojang's face get redder the more they're filmed...? It's so strange!

Dolly said after Cho Chang pushed her hand away, "Miss Rita Skeeter, it seems you don't understand what happened."

Dolly pointed her wand, and a camera flew over from a short distance away; apparently, it had been working for some time now.

Dolly bought this not long ago, intending to record some footage for Four Colors Collar to submit as material. It's Sony's latest handheld camcorder, powered by batteries.

Although it was many times bulkier than later mobile phones, it was already a reliable and durable product.

This is the perfect time to record Rita's transformation from a beetle into a human.

Of course, even without such a thing, as long as Dolly and Cho Chang report it to the Ministry of Magic, Rita still cannot escape the Ministry's punishment. It's just that this makes it easier for her psychological defenses to be broken down.

“An illegal Animagus, a dark magic artifact used to fabricate news, and a business relationship with the Malfoy family—I can easily destroy your career and send you to Azkaban.”

"And now you want to leave without doing anything?"

"I haven't even discussed with you the things you've slandered me. Am I really that unworthy of respect in your eyes?"

“You won’t even call me Miss Dursley.”

Dolly sighed, her smile gentle, but the gesture of tossing the quill to Crookshank was anything but ruthless.

"No, no, I apologize, I admit my mistake!"

Seeing that the magical quill pen she had obtained by chance was about to be bitten by that silly cat, Rita finally broke down and began to beg Dolly and Cho Chang for forgiveness and apologize, promising that she would never do the same thing again.

I just hope Dolly won't report what's going on here to the Ministry of Magic, and that she can go back to working at the Daily Prophet.

Deep down, Rita was still thinking that if Dolly really reported her, she would risk her life to expose Dolly's illegal activities and also reveal that Dolly liked girls.

That's Rita Skeeter for you; she's not one to back down easily.

Dolly looked at the other person intently and realized that the other person had no intention of completely backing down.

However, Dolly had no intention of gaining Rita's loyalty; she only needed Rita to do things for her.

"Alright, Miss Skeeter, we really don't need to get this tense."

Dolly snatched the quill from Crookshank's mouth, and amidst Crookshank's disgruntled grumbling, she picked him up and patted the cat, calmly saying, "All you want is big news, and with big news you can maintain your position in the Daily Prophet."

"Or do you have greater ambitions, such as working for the Ministry of Magic?"

Dolly tapped her wand, and a silent polymorph was activated.

A bench rose from the wooden floor, and then vines bound Rita, who had fallen to the ground, so that she could sit steadily on the bench before the vines slowly disappeared.

Despite her numerous misdeeds, there is no doubt that Rita is a discerning person; as a journalist, she has witnessed too many people and too much magic.
