Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 523: It’s so hard

Recently, Rita Skeeter was in a bad mood and was temporarily suspended from the Daily Prophet.

As one of the chief editors of the Daily Prophet and the source of the newspaper's bestsellers, Barnabas Coffey is quite foolish.

A warning from the Ministry of Magic?

What a deal to Rita Skeeter, the Ministry of Magic has warned her 49 times since she became a journalist, but they still have nothing to do with her.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Rita Skeeter asked calmly, looking at the old acquaintance in front of her.

"Because of you, our relationship with the U.S. Ministry of Magic has gotten pretty bad."

As an employee in Barty Crouch's office, Bertha Jorkins is also helpless, she doesn't want to deal with Rita Skeeter at all.

However, having just been driven from the Department of Magical Transportation to the Department of International Magical Cooperation at the British Ministry of Magic, she was sent by her boss to deal with her acquaintances and try to figure out what was going on.

Because of that last report, and the overreaction of some wizards, the relationship between the British Ministry of Magic and the US Ministry of Magic has been quite bad.

"I'm just reporting the truth, Jorkins."

Faced with questions from acquaintances, Rita Skeeter's tone was calm, "When I interviewed that Mr. Anderson, he said that, I just expressed his meaning."

Of course, Rita Skeeter didn't dare to put all the blame on Albert's head, or she would really have to get into Azkaban.

There's been a bunch of people at the Ministry of Magic who wanted to throw her in jail. Who made Rita Skeeter love to write sensational false stories about famous people in the wizarding world, and offended many people because of it.

"So, these are real"

Bertha Jorkins clearly doesn't believe the nonsense of Rita Skeeter. She has worked for the Daily Prophet for a while and knows exactly who the woman in front of her is.

"Of course, that's the truth."

Rita Skeeter is impatient and wants to end this damned conversation as soon as possible, feeling that she should tell the others what the Ministry of Magic is saying.

"You should know that this kind of rhetoric is impossible to dismiss Mr. Crouch." Bertha Jorkins said grumpily, "She really doesn't want to mess things up any more and enter the Ministry of Magic. She has changed several departments over the years."

"This is the truth, you don't know the United States, why don't you study it yourself?"

"I heard that you were suspended."

"Don't worry about that, I'll be reinstated soon."

Rita Skeeter really isn't worried about her suspension at all, and her job isn't just writing for the Daily Prophet.

Writing for Wizards Weekly is also part of her job.

Rita Skeeter felt that she should write an article about the wizarding world in the United States, so that everyone could understand what the British Department of International Magical Cooperation was doing.

As a result of this, the Department of International Magical Cooperation received a flood of owl letters, and many wizards saw Barty Crouch's compromise as an act of weakness.

Bertha Jorkins, who submitted the report, was naturally unlucky, and while being scolded by Barty Crouch, was sent to burn the letters.

Many wizards have added material to their letters, God knows what happens when they burn.

Jorkins was also helpless, but he sorted out the matter very seriously and submitted a new report.

According to her research, it turns out that the actual situation is not very different from what Rita Skeeter describes.

Especially in the description of the wizarding world in the United States in the "Witcher Weekly", even if it is a little exaggerated, there is not much deviation.

It's unbelievable that this happened to the gossip-loving Rita Skeeter.

Perhaps, the reality has been exaggerated enough that the woman does not need to continue to exaggerate.

Bertha Jorkins took things to the director's office after arranging the materials, except that Mr. Barty Crouch didn't seem to be there.

"I don't know if he'll take it seriously." Bertha Jorkins doubts this, and Barty Crouch hopes to restore friendly relations with the American wizarding community.

"Jorkins," Ludo Bagman asked, "Is Barty there?"

"The director is not here."

"Too bad, I have a document here that I need his signature." Ludo Bagman said distressedly: "When Barty returns, remember to remind him to sign, he will need it tomorrow."

"Okay."

Bertha Jorkins agreed immediately, as an employee in Barty Crouch's office, part of her job.

However, in the absence of Barty Crouch after get off work, Bertha Jorkins could only send the document to the home of her boss, Mr. Barty Crouch, for signature.

Crouch is a famous wizarding family, and Bertha's boss, Mr. Barty Crouch, was not at home when Bertha passed by.

The house-elf tells Bertha that Master Barty Crouch will be back soon and asks her to wait in the hall for a moment.

Bertha Jorkins agreed, thinking it would be best to hand the document to her in person, watch her sign it, and send it to Ludo Bagman.

Placing the document on the table, Bertha drank a sip of tea from the house-elf.

Just as she was looking at the layout of her boss's hall, she suddenly heard a low voice, as if someone was talking.

Bertha stood up suspiciously and walked towards the kitchen in the direction from which the voice came, the voice becoming more and more obvious. In the kitchen, the house-elf appears to be talking to a man, but there is no one in the kitchen.

Someone is hiding in the Invisibility Cloak?

"The house-elf called that man the master?" Bertha Jorkins immediately realized something. Could it be Barty Crouch Jr., the son of old Barty Crouch?

But Barty Crouch's son is dead in Azkaban~IndoMTL.com~ Could it be..."

Bertha Jorkins has a hard time believing that Barty Crouch Sr. would do something like that.

"Why are you here?"

The house-elf, noticing someone behind her, turned her head sharply, looking nervously at Bertha Jorkins.

"Who were you talking to, Barty Crouch Jr., right!" Bertha Jorkins stepped forward.

"I don't know what you're talking about?" The house-elf was nervous, trying to stop him from stepping forward to lift the invisibility cloak.

"Jorkins, what are you doing here?" Barty Crouch appeared behind Bertha Jorkins without warning.

"Mr. Barty Crouch, you rescued your son from Azkaban?" Bertha Jorkins looked at her boss in disbelief. In her memory, Barty Crouch was a hater of hatred, and he even nearly became Minister of Magic when his son was a Death Eater so he missed that opportunity.

"Jorkins, you shouldn't meddle in your business, this is a terrible mistake, sorry." Barty Crouch sighed, raised his wand and pointed at the witch in front of him, preparing to make the other party forget about it. segment memory.

However, if she wants to keep the secret completely, she has to use a powerful forgetting spell to make her forget today's events completely.

Bertha Jorkins is utterly stupid with the Oblivion Curse.

"Master, she'll forget what happened just now, won't she." The house-elf was shaking all over.

"Yes." Barty Crouch looked at the woman in front of him, shook his head helplessly and said, "I use a very strong forgetting spell, which is very likely to cause permanent damage to her memory, but it is also ineffective. It's a matter of ways, who made her like to meddle in her own business."
