Chapter 168 Rita Skeeter
Chapter 168 Rita Skeeter
For the next two days, everything seemed unusually peaceful, as if the whole world was immersed in tranquility.
Dumbledore was elusive and had heard that there were many magical things across the sea that he had never seen before, so he decided to go to the ancient country across the sea without hesitation. After Narcissa finished dealing with the affairs of the Saints and the Malfoy family, she also went there.
When Hermione and Ron heard the news, they didn't hesitate to join them on their journey. After all, they were already bored with Hogwarts and eager to explore the wider world. With more than half a month left, why not take advantage of this opportunity to see the outside world?
As for studying... please, Draco specially adjusted the time so that one month here is equivalent to three days over there. Who would talk about studying when they are enjoying a happy time?
Draco and Harry did not go with the others. On the one hand, they really did not want to endure the journey; on the other hand, Draco had no interest in Hua Xia, who was not a teacher.
Of course, this doesn't mean he's completely without curiosity, but he hopes to first see and recognize the China described by his teacher. He also remembers that there is an item that needs to be delivered there in person.
Harry, on the other hand, resolutely followed Draco's lead, accompanying him wherever he went. Although he was curious, his curiosity was not intense.
"I feel like I've forgotten something..." Draco muttered to himself, frowning. However, the next second he put the matter behind him and happily pulled Harry along to start his happy "gluttonous" life.
They shuttled between the teachers' offices like two little butterflies. With their cute and delicate faces that made people like them at first sight, they were always successful among the teachers.
Even the usually serious Professor Severus Snape couldn't completely resist them when facing them. Often, with just a few words, Professor Snape would let them into his office without knowing why.
What could he do? No matter how he used his venomous words to drive them away, it was as if these two people's ears had been installed with a magical "filter" and remained unmoved. It was so annoying!
However, Draco and Harry didn't take Professor Snape's venomous words to heart. What a joke, they had been taught how to translate his words since they were little.
At this moment, the three of them were staring intently at the crucible in front of them, holding their breath and waiting for the potion to take shape. While observing the changes in the crucible, Draco was distracted by thinking about what he had forgotten.
"Success!" Severus Snape cheered excitedly, his clenched fists showing his inner excitement.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes sparkled with satisfaction. He had always longed to replicate the potion in the neighboring world that could stimulate human potential, and now it had finally come true!
After working together for two whole days with the two little guys who were difficult to understand but had amazing talents in potions, and constantly trying to change various main ingredients, they finally succeeded in brewing a crucible.
Although this potion could only provide a two percent improvement, it was already significant enough for the human body. More importantly, it could only be taken once and could not be overdosed. However, at least they had found the right direction, which made Severus Snape feel extremely relieved.
Meanwhile, Draco and Harry slipped out quietly while Severus Snape was concentrating on recording the potion formula.
Although they enjoyed spending time with this godfather from another world, being immersed in potion-making for so long inevitably became boring.
Draco, in particular, would only enter the potion room when he felt inspired to create something. Moreover, once he finished a potion, he quickly lost interest in it and was always looking for something new and exciting.
Draco and Harry left the Potions Master's office feeling relieved and ready to find something fun to do.
"I think we could try making a Golden Snitch!" Harry suggested.
"Hmm... sounds good, but I'd rather practice my flying skills on the Quidditch pitch," Draco said thoughtfully.
"How about we make the Golden Snitch first and then go to the stadium?" Harry asked excitedly.
The two hit it off immediately and ran towards the magic props production room.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and a tiny insect flew across the windowsill. It soared and swooped, just like any other beetle, only slightly higher, making it difficult for the students to reach it, which was just the right position for them to get a good overview of the situation.
For some reason, reporters weren't allowed into this Triwizard Tournament. Rita Skeeter was certain there was a big secret. She seemed to have heard that the Savior had been missing since the Quidditch World Cup, and now the first tournament had arrived.
She smelled big news and couldn't wait to attach herself to the students going to Hogsmeade and sneak into Hogwarts.
Yes, this little beetle is her. It's her Animagus.
She had been searching for Harry Potter these past two days. Sure enough, she discovered a secret! Harry Potter! He liked Draco Malfoy!
Merlin! Isn't her headline already here? "The Endless Love Between the Savior and the Death Eater," "After the Savior was drugged, he actually did this to him," "99 Escapes: The Tortured Love Between the Death Eater and the Savior"...
What? Draco Malfoy isn't a Death Eater? Who cares? He has a Death Eater father, so how can that not be considered family training? If it's not now, it will definitely be in the future. Son follows in father's footsteps.
Rita Skeeter didn't care about authenticity, as long as it brought her money and fame. Conscience? She didn't have it. What was a conscience worth?
She kept thinking about the draft in her mind, unaware of the impending danger.
When the blue water surrounded Rita Skeeter, she realized something was wrong. She flapped her wings and tried to fly, but was wrapped by the water and could not move at all.
She just hoped it was a prank by a bored student. She cursed fiercely in her heart, don't let her know who it was, otherwise she would definitely teach him a lesson.
Rita Skeeter was placed in a large transparent jar. She breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was just a naughty student catching insects for fun.
"I got you, Miss Rita Skeeter." The voice was full of laughter, but it made Rita Skeeter dizzy when she heard the meaning of his words.
