Hogwarts: From Silent to Dark Lord

Chapter 275 Interview with Rita Skeeter!!

In the dim basement, there were no lights, only four Gubrai fairy fires lit in the four corners of the room, which looked a little eerie.

In the room, there were two wooden beds, and on the beds lay two people, one of whom was a handsome young man, and the other was a middle-aged man with skin and bones.

If it weren’t for the heaving of their chests, they might have thought that these two people were dead, and now there were only two corpses here.

“Memory withdrawal!”

Toby pressed his wand against Gilderoy Lockhart’s temple and kept pulling out the memories in his mind, which was a big job.

Gilderoy Lockhart is also in his thirties, more than thirty years of memory, that is much more than Tom Riddle’s memory, Tom Riddle only has more than ten years of memory from birth to student days.

As the memory was withdrawn, Gilderoy Lockhart’s body continued to twitch, and the body, which was already weak to the extreme, seemed to be out of breath in the next second.

On the side, Jamie slammed open Gilderoy Lockhart’s mouth and poured a potion into him in case he couldn’t hold on and died.

For a whole day, Toby and Jamie were nestled in the basement, busy and didn’t even eat a little, but finally extracted all of Gilderoy Lockhart’s memories and sealed them in ~ a glass bottle.

“Whew! Finally done, the next thing is to implant false memories in him, but this is also – a big project. ”

Toby exhaled a long breath and said a little tiredly.

“It’s okay, we still have a lot of time, by the way, that woman Rita Skeeter will actually write to you saying that she is coming to interview you, are you going to be interviewed?”

Jamie said.

Rita Skeeter is a gold-medal reporter for the Daily Prophet, and what she is best at is weaving gossip about all kinds of celebrities or big people, knowing that gossip is human nature, even wizards.

Those gossip news have accumulated a lot of readers and fans for Rita Skeeter.

Moreover, Rita Skeeter is also an illegal Animagus, who can transform into a beetle, fly into the wizard’s house, and steal all kinds of information.

It can be said that Rita Skeeter is an excellent spy, she does not know how many wizards’ secrets are in her hands, if they are exposed, she may die without a place to be buried.

“Of course accept, why refuse, Rita Skeeter that woman is really not easy to mess with, but we have her handle, and in turn can threaten her.”

“Rita Skeeter is a gold medal reporter for the Daily Prophet, first controlling her, and then controlling the entire Daily Prophet, and at any time, the power of the media cannot be ignored.”

Toby said that the Daily Prophet is equivalent to the mouthpiece of the Ministry of Magic, and as long as you control the Daily Prophet, you control the right to speak.

“Hehe, it seems that this time, it is lively and good-looking.”

Jamie said with a smile.

Two days later, in the afternoon, just after lunchtime, Rita Skeeter and a photographer came to the door.

“Welcome, Ms. Skeeter, and Mr. Photographer.”

Toby greeted with a smile, his smile was just right, much to Rita Skeeter’s surprise, she had interviewed many wizards but had never seen such a perfect smile.

Rita Skeeter is a middle-aged witch with jeweled glasses, large blonde hair in delicate curls, and bared teeth with a smile that she clearly thinks is charming.

But her smile looked a little embarrassed in front of Toby’s smile, which made her face a little stiff, but quickly recovered.

“It’s Mr. Toby Rigpo, isn’t it? Do you know me? ”

Rita Skeeter asked with a smile, looking a little smug, it seemed that her fame in the wizarding world was getting bigger.

“No, I don’t know you, but I don’t usually have wizards visiting my house, and you’re a witch, so I know you’re Ms. Rita Skeeter.”

Toby shook his head and said.

This made Rita Skeeter a little embarrassed, but also felt that Toby was very smart, just a simple reasoning, knew her identity, no wonder now everyone is saying that he is Dumbledore’s successor.

“So, can we have an interview now?”

Rita Skeeter asked, she gritted her teeth in her heart, stinky boy, I’ll let you know how good I am later, I must dig up your ancestors for eighteen generations.

“Yes, but I’m afraid it’s not very convenient at home, we can go to a nearby café, which is a nice environment.”

Toby said.

“Oh! Of course, the location is up to you. ”

Skeeter said it didn’t matter where she was interviewed, no matter where she was, she wanted eye-catching news.

Toby led them to a café in the village of Godric’s Hollow, a wizard-run café that usually hosts Muggles, but wizards and Muggles are separated.

“Tom, open a private room.”

Toby said to the café owner that I have to say that the name Tom is really very popular, I don’t know how many people are called Tom, no wonder Tom Riddle will change his name to Voldemort.

Voldemort or Tom, which is more feared, is certainly Voldemort.

“Oh! Toby, it’s rare for you to come, how? Bringing a friend today? ”

The coffee shop owner asked with a smile.

“It’s a reporter from the Daily Prophet who came to interview me and find me a better box.”

Toby replied.

“It’s a reporter, no wonder, Toby, you are Dumbledore’s heir, it seems that our Godric Valley is going to produce another great character.”

The coffee shop owner lamented that he had placed Toby in an open-air box on the second floor, which had two floors, the second floor was generally for wizards, and the first floor was for Muggles.

Toby took Skeeter and the photographer to sit in the box, and the coffee shop owner quickly brought three cups of coffee.

“So, Ms. Skeeter, do you have anything you would like to ask?”

Toby asked.

Rita Skeeter had already taken out her notebook and a quill at this time, looking like she was about to conduct an interview.

Toby glanced at Skeeter’s quill pen, a dark green shorthand quill with its own mind and a knack for manipulating people’s language.

It can transform ordinary sentences from Skeeter’s interview into unrealistic, sky-high sentences, which are automatically recorded on paper.

Rita Skeeter can rely on gossip news to catch readers’ attention, and this shorthand quill is a big help.

“So, Mr. Regpo, now that we officially start the interview, can you briefly introduce yourself?”

Skeeter asked.

“Of course, my name is Toby Rigpo, I am 13 years old, I am enrolled in Gryffindor House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I have just finished my second year and am about to enter my third year.”

“As for my height, weight, and other things, please forgive me for not being able to comment, this is a matter of privacy.”

Toby said with a smile.

Skeeter’s green quill began to automatically brush and write on the notebook, and the photographer on the side kept changing angles to take pictures of Toby.

“Mr. Rigbo, you invented a brand new spell in your first year, received a first-class medal from Sir Merlin’s order, and defeated an evil dark wizard in the Hogwarts War not long ago.”

“It can be seen that you are a very good wizard and a genius, so is the reason why you have such achievements related to family factors?” Your parents must also be very good wizards, right? ”

Skeeter asked.

“My parents are of course very good wizards, they were Aurors of the Ministry of Magic and have been working hard to fight the evil forces.”

“Although they died fighting the mysterious man more than a decade ago, I have always followed their example, and I am proud to have such parents.”

Toby said dirt…
