"Professor Snape said that he is the person Voldemort trusts the most." Harry spoke in a chanting tone with ambiguous meanings.

Dumbledore shook his head: "Tom is different from us. He doesn't understand love."

He waved his wand.

Magic carefully packed up the corpse, sealed it with a spell, and stuffed it into the corner of the office.

"I've been wondering what Senior Tom wants from me." Harry sat down, waved his wand, took out a bottle of whiskey for himself, and poured a glass. "At first I thought it would be a Gryffindor relic."

This sentence attracted the attention of a motorcycle and a painting.

"I didn't expect he wanted me." Harry took a sip of his drink. "It really feels like a dragon trying to snatch the princess away."

"Princess Harry, I don't think you should drink Dragon's Blood Whiskey." Dumbledore frowned. The strong smell made him feel uncomfortable.

"Maybe the dragon won't be interested anymore once he knows the princess is an alcoholic," Harry joked.

Dumbledore sat down and poured himself a glass of syrup.

Rita looked at them with mixed feelings.

Do powerful wizards have strange habits?

One drinks strong syrup, the other drinks strong alcohol.

"Why would he want me?" Harry tilted his head back. "Does he know about the Horcruxes?"

"I don't think so." Dumbledore shook his head. "There is not such a strong correlation between the Horcrux and its owner."

"And there's no need to carry a Horcrux with you."

Harry waved his wand and the cup fell back onto the table, "Then why did he have to have me."

Dumbledore was silent for a long time before he offered a suggestion: "Perhaps he also knows about the spell Lily cast on you and wants to study and break it?"

"Or, about that prophecy."

Harry nodded. "And the child."

"He has never seen the child, and he has never seen Voldemort."

Dumbledore said nothing.

Rita was in a dilemma. She wanted to cover her ears. She could foresee that the next news would be extremely serious. Every word she heard would bring her one step closer to death.

But I can't bear to do it.

Such a big news, listen to it...

"So the child is his and Barty Crouch Jr.'s?" Harry spoke after a moment's silence.

Dumbledore couldn't help himself and was choked by these words, coughing repeatedly.

Rita's face turned green.

She immediately regretted it and raised her hand to slap herself hard, with a crisp and pleasant sound.

We all know that it is not a good thing, so why should we listen to it? Why should we listen to it!

No one paid any attention to her madness.

"I remember Professor Snape said that Senior Tom allowed Barty Crouch Jr. to call him father." Before Dumbledore could recover, Harry added this sentence with an expressionless face.

By breaking into the women's restroom at night and seducing mature and overly mature women, Tom's sinful life has been further colored by perversion.

Rita's eyes widened, and she raised her hand to slap herself again.

Mr. Potter, you can't do this...

Next time you hear such explosive news, give me an advance warning so that I can block my ears.

Oh my god.

My ears heard something.

Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, then sighed heavily, "Harry, what you said makes sense and is very possible, but this child is not that important."

Having said this, he paused.

"Actually, I thought of a very ancient black magic."

Harry looked at him.

"A special potion prepared at the cost of several lives." Dumbledore continued softly, "It can provide a temporary body for wandering souls who have not yet set foot in death."

"Let them escape the pull of death and survive."

"This kind of black magic is very evil. The body it creates is very fragile. Maintaining it requires human lives, a lot of human lives."

Harry suddenly understood and nodded: "So Senior Tom doesn't dare to see people."

Dumbledore responded.

"And what does this have to do with him wanting me?" Harry demanded.

Dumbledore shook his head: "I'm afraid I'll have to look up some books. There are so many dark arts that even I don't know much about them."

Harry stood up and put away the cup: "Then I will go back and rest. Miss Skeeter wants to do an exclusive interview with you. She is a little worried about retaliation from the Death Eaters."

Dumbledore nodded and responded readily: "Of course."

Rita stood up with a grim look on her face: "Before that, I think I have to go to the bathroom. Oh, no, it's better to go find Madam Pomfrey."

She had been in the water for more than a month, and Coban Yaxley would not be so kind as to change the water for her.

Women are very fragile creatures.

That disease does not necessarily need to be transmitted through specific behavior. You can also get the disease by soaking in dirty water for more than a month.

Maintaining hygiene is really important.

Professor Dumbledore was kind enough to send her there, and Madam Pomfrey was an expert at handling such matters.

It is difficult for young people to realize the importance of hygiene, and even with the help of house-elves, it is difficult to keep it clean and tidy.

Harry returned to the common room.

The little lions were making a lot of noise, and Harry's absence today had no effect on them.

Ron held Crookshanks in his arms and concentrated on reading "Powerful Potion".

Hermione looked tired, with an unnatural blush on her cheeks.

"Harry, you're back. How's Sirius?" When Harry approached, Hermione lowered her voice and asked with concern.

"It's okay. He was tortured a little, but he's still alive." Harry sat next to her. "I put him in detention for half a year and asked Uncle Remus to watch him."

Ron looked up, shifted his hips, and moved closer: "Sirius doesn't look like the type to stay for half a year."

"He should calm down." Harry shook his head. "He puts too much pressure on himself."

As he spoke, he paused and looked at Hermione: "Hermione, what's wrong with you today?"

"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Hermione asked blankly.

"How many Time-Turners?" Harry asked bluntly.

A trace of panic flashed across Hermione's face: "There are no repeated classes today, of course I haven't used it."

"You told me last year not to abuse that thing." Harry said with a straight face and a serious tone, "And you forgot about it?"

Hermione lowered her head, looking pitiful.

"I know you put a lot of pressure on yourself, but don't worry." Harry sighed and comforted him, "You are an excellent little witch. There is no need to rush for success."

Hermione looked up, wanting to say something.

"Take your time, I'll stay with you." Harry interrupted her and uttered a few words.

Ron sighed and looked down at his book.

If I had known I wouldn’t have come over here.

Rita Skeeter hasn't published an article for several months, and many of her loyal readers have written to the newspaper, asking the reason as they wait anxiously.

The Daily Prophet's top reporter has finally returned.

And brought some earth-shaking reports.

On the front page was an interview with Albus Dumbledore - much to everyone's surprise, as Dumbledore, the greatest White wizard of the century, had always been very media-resistant.

No reporter has ever been able to interview him.

Yet Rita Skeeter did it, and in this article, Dumbledore talks about his time at Hogwarts and his time as headmaster.

Although there is no mention of his experience of joining Hogwarts and becoming the deputy headmaster, such an article satisfies the curiosity of many people about Dumbledore.

It turns out he is this kind of person.

Page three, which was only second in importance to the front page, contained an exclusive interview with Harry Potter - this was his first interview as one of the warriors in the Triwizard Tournament.

This article does not contain much content about the conversation between Skeeter and Harry Potter, but it does quote a lot of comments about Harry from Hogwarts professors and students.

Many wizards whose families did not send their children to Hogwarts were surprised to learn that Harry Potter had become the heir of Gryffindor.

And in Godric's Hollow, there is a goblin blacksmith shop that sells a model of the Sword of Gryffindor.

The sensation caused by these two reports that occupied relatively important pages was far less than that caused by Rita's last short report that was placed in the corner of the newspaper.

In this report, Rita detailed what she did during the time she disappeared.

In this report, she claimed that she had investigated the real cause of death of Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of International Communications of the Ministry of Magic. He did not die in an accident, but was murdered!

But it wasn't the Ministry that murdered him.

But his own son.

She published Corban Yaxley's words almost verbatim in the newspaper.

This gave Fudge a headache.

Even the Aurors don't know about this, so where did Rita Skeeter get this information from?

This doesn't look like fake news either, as Rita describes the night of Crouch's death in great detail - Dumbledore notifying the Ministry, Scrimgeour going looking for Crouch but eventually meeting him at Hogwarts, a fight breaking out, and a spell killing Crouch and his house-elf during the fight.

Rita helped the Auror Office to fill in these details that were not made public.

For a moment, the Ministry of Magic was in an uproar.

Many people even clamored to arrest Rita and put her in Azkaban, but they were just clamors. No one had the courage to do it.

The front page also featured her exclusive interview with Dumbledore.

Who knows what their relationship is?

Outside Hogwarts, it was a mess.

Hogwarts was not affected too much by this incident, and Rita did not disclose the fact that Moody had been replaced, although many smart little wizards could guess this possibility.

But things like this are often forgotten after being discussed for a few days.

As time passes, the end of the school year gradually approaches.

The young wizards were overwhelmed by the final exams, and the only thing that could sustain them was the upcoming Triwizard Tournament.

And it was in early June.

June 7th.

Harry finally welcomed the thunderstorm he had been waiting for half a year.
