Chapter 62: stunned Rita Skeeter
Also she questioned other people like the friends of Harry, Ron and Hermione. Pansy and Daphne looked at Jack with dazzling eyes as Jack spoke word by word before. Finally after she was done questioning those people Rita came to Jack asking for a private interview.
She got one from others in the group of Harry. So all that left is Jack that was pointed out the problem with Dumbledore. She immediately came to him and they walked away from here to talk about the interview.
They went to the lake area to talk. This place did not have many people at this time mostly because of their previous shock and also the presence of Rita Skeeter. She cast a ward that is barrier around them so that their words would not be heard by anyone.
"Now tell me what you want me to write."
Her face was strange looking at Jack observing a 13 year old that planned all kinds of these things. Jack did not speak instead he gave a letter to her. When she saw the contents inside, she felt a chill run down her spine.
The person in front of her is a little kid but his thoughts are so sinister. She made a vow in her mind that she would never become his enemy. She felt the same feeling as she felt with Voldemort.
But there is a difference. Voldemort did not like woman or any interest in romance. But the person in front of her seems to be very interested in woman. He is not even leaving her that is around 30 years older than him.
Well she is single and did not have any man in her eyes right now. But she became interested in the thoughts of Jack. His mode of accusing as a white villain has attracted her attention. If she can follow Jack, she was sure that she can easily become a top journalist.
Well that is not all. Her gossipy heart made her interested in Jack. She sighed after reading the letter. In the letter it is mentioned on how to make the article that would spray dirt on Dumbledore, Harry potter, Ron and Hermione.
The amount of dirt on Hermione would be less and mostly she was compelled to go with Harry and Ron because of their threats. At the very least the intentions of Jack not wanting to spray too much dirt on Hermione is clearly visible.
This made the readers think that Harry and Ron are bullies that would bully a poor muggle born witch like Hermione to go with them to face the dark wizard. At the same time it would mention how Dumbledore supported Harry and Ron with allotting over 50 house points.
Naturally many people know that they would only give 5 or 10 house points for most of the things. 20 points is already outstanding but giving 50 and 60 points is unprecedented unless they made a great contribution.
Even when a house wins a Quidditch match over the other three houses as the final winner they would be given 100 house points. Also this 100 house points is for the entire team of 7 members including the extra's for backup.
In calculation they would only receive 10 points per person. That is how low the house points are given. But Dumbledore directly gave Harry and Ron that broke the rules and threaten their lives with over 50 and 60 house points as if it was giving peanuts.
In the report that Jack gave Hermione has a better role even though it was not good. But the blame on her head would shift to a certain extent and there will not be a problem to come out of it without a problem as a victim.
.....
Reading the details of the letter again and again Rita was more and more in love with the mind of Jack. Jack was so in line with her way of spilling shit on everyone that she really had a crush on Jack if he was of her age.
But he was too young and when he grows up she would be old. Jack looked at her and said.
"I presume the information in the letter would be perfect for the report right. Hope you would publish this by not bending over to the connections of Dumbledore."
Rita looked at Jack and asked playfully.
"Why are you doing this? Did you have a grudge against them?"
Jack smiled playfully back at her and said.
"If you become my woman then I will tell you. Well you have to wait 5 more years for that. Also I am not into old ladies, so I will find a way to get a youth potion to make you young. There are so many ways that are not being used right now.
We will use them later. Make sure to publish the contents properly and also try and spread the information to others as much as possible. That would be helpful for me in the future. With that the interview is complete I think. I don't mind getting a parting kiss from you."
Rita changed her expression and then said with a sarcastic tone.
"Then where do you want the parting kiss, on the lips or on the cheek?"
Jack immediately replied without thinking for a second more.
"Well I prefer it on the lips, if you like it that is."
After saying these words Jack flicked his wand creating a temporary illusion ward around them. Then he took the initiative to kiss the lips of Rita that bent over forward speaking just now pointing a finger at her lips.
She did not expect that Jack would take the initiative like this and she just lost her first kiss. Being a journalist she never was close to anyone. Well her articles usually make people go away from her instead of being with her.
