Chapter 532: Listen, Is That Even Human?
"Animagus... no wonder she can write so many exclusive articles."
On the way back, Kanna couldn't help but remark, "After all, beetles are really common and don't arouse suspicion. She must have overheard a lot of people's secrets this way."
"That's for sure," Kyle nodded thoughtfully.
Just now, Rita Skeeter had acted so nervously—it must be because she knows too much. Or perhaps if the news that she could turn into a beetle got out, plenty of people with guilty consciences would lose sleep.
Like the names she mentioned earlier.
Ludo Bagman... Kyle could guess that it had something to do with Galleons. During the Quidditch World Cup, Mr. Weasley bet on Ireland to win but never received the prize money. Yet, Mr. Weasley himself didn't seem to mind and never pressed Bagman for it, saying it was just the price of the tickets.
But as for the other two names Skeeter mentioned... the story involving Fudge and Dolores Umbridge, Kyle had no clue. Still, the secrets of a Minister of Magic and a Senior Undersecretary must be pretty explosive.
To be honest, Kyle was quite curious. If he got the chance, he wouldn't mind digging around to learn more.
Of course, first, they had to deal with Hagrid's situation...
"By the way, Kyle, how did you know Rita Skeeter was the beetle?" Kanna asked curiously as they approached the kitchen corridor.
"It's simple..." Kyle gestured at his robe. "Because I'm in regular contact with Norbert, my clothes always carry the scent of dragons. Insects would normally avoid me... unless they're Animagi."
