The Alchemist of Harry Potter

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

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

A warning from the Ministry of Magic?

What does it mean 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 herself.

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

"Our relationship with the U.S. Ministry of Magic has gotten pretty bad because of you."

As an employee of Barty Crouch's office, Bertha Jorkins was also helpless, and she didn't want to deal with Rita Skeeter at all.

However, just after being rushed 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.

The relationship between the British Ministry of Magic and the United States Ministry of Magic has been quite bad because of the last report, plus the overreaction of some wizards.

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

In the face of doubts from acquaintances, Rita Skeeter's tone was calm, "When I interviewed that Mr. Anderson, the other party said that, I just expressed his meaning."

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

In the Ministry of Magic, there were already a bunch of people 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 all real?"

Bertha Jorkins obviously didn't believe Rita Skeeter's nonsense. She had worked for the Daily Prophet for some time before, and she knew very well the woman in front of her.

"Of course, that's the truth."

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

"You should know that this kind of rhetoric is impossible to get rid of Mr. Crouch." Bertha Jorkins said angrily, "She really doesn't want to mess things up again, all these years in the Ministry of Magic, She's changed departments several times."

"This is the truth. You don't know the United States, right? 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 is really not worried about her suspension, and her job is not just writing articles 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 large number of owl letters, and many wizards thought that Barty Crouch's compromise was an act of weakness.

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

Many wizards added material to the letter, God knows what will happen when it burns.

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

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

In particular, the description of the wizarding world in the United States in "Witcher Weekly", even if it is a little exaggerated, does not appear to be too much deviation.

It's unbelievable that this kind of thing happened to Rita Skeeter, who likes to gossip.

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

After Bertha Jorkins sorted out the information, she took the things to the director's office, but it seemed that Mr. Barty Crouch was not there.

"I don't know if he will take a serious look." Bertha Jorkins doubted this, and Barty Crouch hoped to restore friendly relations with the American wizarding community.

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

"The chief is not here."

"It's too bad, I have a document here that needs his signature." Ludo Bagman said angrily: "When Barty returns, remember to remind him to sign it, and he will need it tomorrow."

"OK."

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

However, after get off work, in the absence of Barty Crouch, 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 when Bertha passed by, her boss, Mr. Barty Crouch, was not at home.

The house-elf told Bertha that Master Barty Crouch would be back soon and asked her to wait in the hall for a moment.

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

Putting the document on the table, Bertha drank the tea brought by the house-elf.

Just when she was looking at the decoration of her boss's hall, she suddenly heard a whisper, 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.

Is someone hiding in an invisibility cloak?

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

However, Barty Crouch's son has died in Azkaban prison.

"Could it be..."

Bertha Jorkins had a hard time believing that old Barty Crouch would do something like that.

"How will you be here?"

The house-elf noticed someone behind her, turned her head suddenly, and looked 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 own business, this is a very bad mistake, sorry." Barty Crouch sighed, raised his wand and pointed at the witch in front of him, preparing to let the other party forget this memory.

However, if she wanted to keep the secret completely, she had to use a powerful forgetting spell to make her forget what happened today.

Bertha Jorkins, who was struck by the oblivion curse, was completely stupid.

"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 strong forgetting spell, which is very likely to cause permanent damage to her memory, but this is also impossible. , who made her like to meddle in her own business."
