Listening to Kyle's description, Harry always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but for a moment he couldn't remember who it was.

Just when he was about to ask, there was a knock on the door again.

It was still not Dumbledore who came this time.

"Hagrid, how are you? Everyone in the castle is talking about you...Oh, I noticed you boiled some water, can you give me a cup of hot tea?"

Seeing the person coming, Harry shouted happily: "Professor Black, why are you here?"

"I've told you many times not to address me as such outside the castle, Harry."

Sirius walked into the room, "Of course it's because of the newspaper. I wanted to ask Professor Dumbledore first, but he disappeared somewhere and I couldn't find him."

Hagrid's room was not big to begin with, and with five more people squeezed in, it seemed even smaller.

Harry and Ron squeezed to the left to make a small space for Sirius.

However, ten minutes later... Connor also appeared at the door of the cabin, along with Cedric and Cho, and the Weasley brothers.

This time, the hut was completely full and they had to stand outside.

Kanna saw Kyle in the room the first time and waved her hand quickly, "No wonder we couldn't find you, it turns out you came early."

"No, I just arrived too." Kyle explained, "Professor Black and I went to Diagon Alley before, and you guys weren't up yet."

"Diagon Alley?"

"Yeah, I'm going to Gringotts to pick something up. I made an appointment during the holiday, and I just happen to have time today."

Connor nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After all, the main purpose of her visit was to visit Hagrid.

Seeing this large group of people gathered at the door of his hut, Hagrid began to choke again, but this time it was not because of sadness.

Hagrid originally thought that everyone would avoid him after knowing his identity, but he didn't expect so many people would come to visit him.

"Thank you, thank you for daring to come to me..." Two round tears flowed from Hagrid's eyes and slowly seeped into his beard.

"Hagrid, what are you talking about?" Fred said with a grin, "Our Care of Magical Creatures professor is a half-giant. Is there anything cooler than this?"

"Is it a pure-blooded giant?" George raised his eyebrows.

"I can't help but agree."

The two of them clapped their hands in tacit understanding.

"Look, Hagrid, no one here cares who you are," said Kyle.

"But Dumbledore..."

"I believe the principal will not fire you." Kyle patted his arm.

They didn't stay here for long.

The main reason was that it was too cold outside, and so many people couldn't all go into the house, so after a while, Hagrid said he wanted to be alone for some time, and sent them all back to the castle.

Harry and the others didn't want to leave, but Hagrid was very determined and pushed them out of the house without saying a word.

But when leaving, Kyle suddenly saw a beetle crawling out from the open door.

"Yeah, let's go back."

After walking out of the cabin, Kyle walked up to Kanna and said, "Fortunately, the newspaper only reported the half-blood giant and didn't find that incident, otherwise things would only become more troublesome."

"What?" Kanna asked puzzledly.

"Have you forgotten?" Kyle looked around and said, "It's not safe here. Let's go back to the castle."

Although Kanna felt a little confused, she still followed Kyle towards the castle.

It was not until they reached the hallway that she tentatively said, "You're not talking about Lu Wei, are you? But it's been so long, it shouldn't be discovered."

"Yeah, you're right, no one will be able to find Lu Wei."

Kyle said, he took out a round-mouthed bottle made of every-flavor beans and slammed it against his shoulder.

“Boom boom boom…”

There was a sudden clinking sound coming from the bottle.

"Is this... a beetle?"

"It's a beetle, but not just any beetle."

"Am I right, Ms. Rita Skeeter?"

"Rita..." Kanna was shocked. "Are you saying that this beetle is the Rita Skeeter?"

"It's just a suspicion now, but we just need to test it. It's a simple little test... follow me."

Kyle walked into an empty classroom, put the bottle aside, then opened his deformed lizard skin bag and took out a portable camera and a little guy that looked like a plant sprout.

Connor stood by and watched curiously as Kyle opened the bottle, took out the beetle inside and handed it to Bowtruckle.

The Bowtruckle thought it could have an extra meal and was very happy. Although it liked the wood beetle more, it would not refuse an extra snack and opened its mouth to put the beetle into it.

However, the next second, the beetle suddenly began to twist, and its entire body became larger and larger.

Connor was very familiar with this scene, it was the process of transforming from an Animagus back into a wizard.

Soon, a woman with curly hair and horn-shaped glasses appeared in the empty classroom.

The Bowtruckle was frightened. It looked at its hands, then at the man who suddenly appeared, and started to dive into Kyle's pocket, howling.

at the same time……

“Crack!”

Kyle also pressed the shutter of his camera.

"It's really interesting. The famous Ms. Rita Skeeter is actually an illegal Animagus." Kyle looked up and said with a smile: "It seems that the front page of tomorrow's Daily Prophet can be determined in advance."

"Damn it, give it to me!" Rita Skeeter rushed over like crazy and tried to snatch the camera from Kyle's hand.

But the next second, she flew back at an even faster speed, knocking over several tables.

"It's wrong to steal, Ms. Skeeter." Kyle shook the wand in his hand.

Before Rita Skeeter could even stand up, the tables and chairs around her had turned into ropes, tying her tightly from her feet to her neck, making her look like a pupa.

And her wand was kicked to the side by a table leg.

"Another illegal Animagus." Connor said with disgust, "No wonder you know so many wizards' secrets. After all, no one would guard against a beetle."

"It's okay. She always has to pay for the mistakes she made." Kyle said with a smile, "Illegal Animagus, this alone is enough to send her to be with the Dementors."

"Give it to me!" Rita Skeeter yelled again.

She never imagined that this method that always worked would fall into the hands of a student.

It can be imagined that when the photo recording the entire process of her Animagus transformation was released to the public, she was completely finished.

If those people... the officials of the Ministry of Magic knew that her Animagus was a beetle and that she had used it to gather information, then she would be completely finished and might even be killed silently.

So she had to take the camera away no matter what, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't beat Kyle, and using force would definitely not work.

"I know a lot of secrets, Fudge's and Dolores Umbridge's, and Ludo Bagman's," Rita Skeeter said hoarsely, "I can trade them for the camera."

"Why should I know this? Do I feel like I have too much free time and want to cause myself some trouble?" Kyle spread his hands and said, "So I'll just..."

"Then tell me!" Rita Skeeter began to get anxious. "What can I do to get you to give it to me? I can write reports, many reports praising you!"

"I think you must have misunderstood. I didn't mean that, and I don't need you to speak well of me in the newspaper." Kyle frowned slightly, "Besides, we Hogwarts students never threaten others to do things for us. This is against school rules."

Kanna pursed her lips and turned her head to the side.

To be honest, this is not really in the school rules. This is already within the scope of wizarding law.

"but……"

Kyle continued, “I’m in a good mood right now, so I decided to wait until the next issue of the Daily Prophet comes out before considering whether to post the photos.

"If I'm in a good mood by then, I might not post it... It's all possible."

"Then I..."

Rita Skeeter wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Kyle.

"It has nothing to do with you. I just want to see how I feel. So I wish you good luck..."

Kyle waved his wand, untied the ropes on Rita Skeeter, and then pulled Connor out of the empty classroom.
