Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

But immediately afterwards, she looked at Ryan: "Mr. Elias, what do you mean? I must point out that you are destroying my private property and affecting the fairness of the news..."

she questioned.

However, she did not see the panicked expression of the little wizard in front of her as she wished.

Quite the opposite.

Ryan's expression was calm.

"Be quiet, Miss Skeeter—I'm trying to figure out what to do with you."

he said softly.

"deal with?"

So Rita Skeeter's eyes widened: "What are you talking about, you..."

She wanted to speak, but the next moment she met Ryan's eyes.

Those were a pair of cold, pale blue eyes.

"...I see. I heard from Mr. Filch that I was back, and then I quietly transformed into a ladybug and entered the school while he was chasing away the owls."

"It took you quite some time to find me? Until you found me in the corridor... Well, the title "The Forbidden Romance of the Heir to Hufflepuff and the Pure-Blood Family" does seem quite appealing, but the content you fabricated is clearly unconvincing."

"Also... 'Hufflepuff Heir Attacks Renowned Journalist', 'Could Ryan Elias's Cat Be a Creation of Dark Magic?', 'Mysterious Crown'..."

"You have a lot of imagination, and you do have the ability to distort facts and guide public opinion... But I have to say, this ability is not very appealing to the person involved."

Ryan's voice was slow, but to Rita Skeeter it sounded terribly oppressive.

"Legitimate?! You're looking at my memories!?"

Then Rita Skeeter realized what Ryan was doing.

This was almost unbelievable to her - her magical attainments were not very strong, but she had been considered an outstanding graduate of Hogwarts in the past.

But even she couldn't learn Legilimency - it was an extremely advanced magic that required extremely strong magical attainments!

"How could he possibly..."

She thought in horror, but the next moment her thoughts were interrupted.

"In fact, you wouldn't be considered a top graduate in my opinion, Miss Skeeter."

Because Ryan's comments at this moment sounded almost harsh to her.

"Get out of my head, you..."

She yelled angrily, and then...

"boom!"

She felt her soul suddenly shaken at this moment.

At the same time, Ryan's voice rang directly into her soul.

"I say—keep quiet!"

His voice was like thunder.

So, Rita Skeeter felt the pain.

That is the pain that comes from the oppression of the soul.

It was difficult for her to describe the pain she felt at that moment.

She saw the glow of stars shining on Ryan's body, and his soul seemed to be shrouded in magic.

His magic took hold of her, and Rita Skeeter felt a resonance of heat and cold—she felt as if she were being roasted in flames, thrown into ice and frozen forever, and finally a knife cutting into her soul.

She couldn't even scream, and the memories in her mind began to flash uncontrollably.

"You don't seem to understand the situation, Rita Skeeter."

Ryan, on the other hand, spoke calmly as he scrolled through the memories of the reporter in front of him.

And from it, he saw a lot of things.

"Eavesdropping, deception, threats, smear campaigns, and lies—you'll do anything to increase sales and popularity..."

"You are not a dark wizard, but in many cases the harm you cause seems to be no less than that of a dark wizard."

Ryan thought.

He certainly didn't like people like Rita Skeeter.

She has no ideals, but simply likes to pry into other people's privacy and expose it unscrupulously - which causes a lot of trouble.

For example, this time...

Ryan found it hard to imagine what an uproar it would cause if his previous conversation with Harry was known by Rita Skeeter and reported.

To resurrect a person who has been dead for more than ten years - even in the magic world, this is an incredible thing!

It will inevitably lead to huge trouble.

Despite the fact that the possibility of Lily Potter's resurrection was due to that special spell... but Ryan knew that if the matter really spread, most wizards would not listen to it!

And Voldemort, who is hiding in the dark, may also infer a lot of things from it - such as the identity of Harry's Horcrux and Snape's undercover identity... This has a huge impact!

Not to mention the matter of Pansy Parkinson - if this matter were to be reported, the situation of the Parkinson family, who had just joined his side, would undoubtedly be extremely bad.

As Ryan said, Rita Skeeter is not a dark wizard, but she is often more harmful than a dark wizard.

Therefore, Ryan was really considering seriously what to do with her.

But soon...

"Ok?"

Ryan saw something interesting in Rita Skeeter's memories.

That was her memory of eavesdropping on other people's secrets.

One of the memories happened not too long ago - it happened the day after Ryan and Dumbledore went to Azkaban.

"The Ministry of Magic held a press conference that day? Fudge said he would negotiate with the French and German Ministers of Magic about resuming the Triwizard Tournament within two years?"

This incident itself did not surprise Ryan - he remembered that when he and Dumbledore went to the Ministry of Magic, Fudge left with this excuse.

Given Fudge's desire for political achievements and power, holding such a press conference to expand his influence is what he would like to do most.

But the key is...

After the meeting, Rita Skeeter transformed into Ladybug and quietly followed the Minister - and it was obvious that the special nature of Animagus made her difficult to detect even in the Ministry of Magic.

So, Rita Skeeter listened in on a conversation.

The two parties in the dialogue are...

"Cornelly Fudge, and... Anos Dohorov?"

Ryan saw the middle-aged man standing in Fudge's office.

He looked about five or six points like McCall Dohorov, whom Ryan had defeated, but he looked more sinister.

That was obviously the patriarch of the Dokhorov family.

He and Fudge seemed to be discussing something.

"Regarding Hogwarts next semester... Don't worry, we will definitely let Dumbledore and that Elias... But you have to..."

"Mr. Dokhorov...if you can...I will definitely..."

Rita Skeeter didn't dare get too close, so she could only hear the vague contents.

And this conversation did not last long.

At the end, when Anos Dokhorov left the office.

Rita Skeeter heard the last threatening words.

"Mr. Connelly, that file must be destroyed—it's the basis of our cooperation, and I expect you to honor your end of the bargain when the time comes."

"Otherwise...you don't want to know what that adult does."

So, Ryan raised his brow.

no doubt.

The content of this memory is very valuable to him.

"Hogwarts next term..."

The key words in this conversation made Ryan's heart move.

Because this just happened to confirm the information Pansy told him not long ago - the pure-blood families seemed to be planning to do something at Hogwarts next semester, and the main driving force behind it was the Dohorov family.

But that's not the point.

The key is Anos Dokhorov's last words.

"That lord... probably refers to Voldemort or his spokesperson."

Under the effect of the crown, Ryan's thoughts were still very calm and quick.

"But...the dossier?"

Ryan murmured the name in his heart.

"What dossier?"

He was keenly aware that this so-called "file" might contain some key clues.

And then again.

"The Dokhorov family's patriarch once met with Fudge alone... Apparently, the Parkinson family didn't know about this."

At least Pansy never told Ryan about it.

"So, this is a private operation by the Dokhorov family?"

Ryan pondered in his heart.

In fact, this matter itself is very strange - because the Dohorov family is not actually a member of the twenty-eight pure-blood holy clans, and they do not actually have a very high status among the pure-blood families.

However, this conspiracy was obviously led by this originally inconspicuous family.
