some magical Hogwarts

Chapter 984 "The Life and Lies of Tom Riddle!" "

After chatting with Cedric for a while, William entered the secret room of the store.

After entering the room, he saw a woman who was already sitting there, waiting for him and Hermione.

That's the benefit of having your own store.

At least when you come to Hogsmeade, you don't have to go to the three broomsticks, which are poorly hidden; let alone Aberforth, who likes to cheat.

We have our own base!

The only fly in the ointment is that there is no secret passage.

According to William:

A secret passage to Hogwarts must be dug in the store, which can be used as an emergency contact method.

As for the previous secret passages, too many people knew about them, so they could all be sealed off.

Best of all, the exit of this secret passage is in the Room of Requirement, which is perfect.

Wait... Aberforth runs the Hog's Head in Hogsmeade, is that what Aberforth is doing?

On the surface, it opened a bar, and deliberately sold hard alcohol to Hogwarts elementary school students; in fact, it was Dumbledore's secret contact point behind the scenes?
After all, smart people would do this. William could think of opening a secret passage in the store, and so could Dumbledore.

William remembered that Aberforth was still a hidden Order member, the kind who never attended a meeting.

Good guy...Could it be that these two brothers, on the surface, acted as superficial brothers to everyone, but in the mainland, they also showed a hand...brotherly love?
It's like those tobacco companies, on the surface, are infringing on everyone's health, but in fact they are collecting funds to support the country's military industry?
So, don't compare secrets with Dumbledore.

His secrets are always much more than the secrets you discover!
Rita was arranging her makeup. She hadn't gone shopping for a long time, so she cut her hair short.

However, she still wears those jeweled glasses, her eyebrows are heavily drawn, and her mouth is even more like a nouveau riche, with a row of gold teeth.

Seeing William and Hermione coming, she immediately had a flattering smile on her face.

During this time, Rita was carrying out the tasks assigned by William, turning into a beetle to monitor those Death Eaters.

This is an important source of intelligence.

Voldemort would not tell Snape everything, and Rita was needed to fill in the gaps in intelligence.

And the generous salary and treatment given by William made Rita's little life very nourishing.

But this money is not enough for her wealth and freedom for the rest of her life.

At least it's not enough to be extravagant, and you have to continue to serve William.

Facing her big benefactor, Rita's name has changed.

In the past, they were still "Mr. Perfect" and "Miss Perfect", but now they have become "bosses and bosses with billions of dollars in wealth".

"Boss, who are you spying on this time?" Rita asked curiously.

This year, there has been a house elf who has been in special contact, and William will not let her venture out.

This time she was suddenly called to Hogsmeade, and Rita was also extremely curious.

William sat on a chair, took the coffee Hermione made for him, and said with a smile:
"I don't need you to monitor anyone for now, I want you to write something."

"What are you writing, could it be the love story between you and the proprietress?" Rita teased.

Hermione glared at her, and said coldly, "It's writing an autobiography for someone."

"He's dying and needs a biography. That's what you do best." William took a sip of his coffee.

"I'm dying..." Rita clenched her fists and said excitedly:
"I've heard that the boss is a student of Nicole Flamel, and he destroyed the Philosopher's Stone, so he probably won't live long.

What, are you going to write about the 600 years of Nicole Flamel's absurd life? ! "

If you have the first-hand information of Nicolas, with this book, you will definitely be able to achieve financial freedom.

Rita was very excited.

"Not Nico." William shook his head.

"Could it be Dumbledore?" Rita looked at him warily.

She had indeed collected a lot of information about Dumbledore over the years, and she was going to write a biography of Albus Dumbledore after he died.

Rita is also going to narrate the man's life from the negative point of view.

Everyone said he was a great man, but Rita insisted on finding another way, calling him a liar and messing up his private life.

Whether it is true or not, it's enough gimmick anyway.

Of course, the idea died a few years ago.

Anyway, these two are still alive, so it is impossible for her to write a biography of Dumbledore.

But apart from Nicolas May and Dumbledore, Rita really didn't know any other heavyweight wizards that William should ask her to write about.

Could it be that Scamander was dying?Or is the Boy Who Lived gone?

William didn't continue to play tricks, stared at Rita, and said seriously:

"I want you to write a biography of Tom Riddle."

"Tom Riddle?" Rita frowned, she was a little unfamiliar with this name.

Especially Tom on Rotten Street... Her first reaction was the owner of the Leaky Cauldron.

What is there to write about that old man!

"It's the mysterious man that everyone often says—Voldemort." Hermione explained.

"Who?!" Rita's voice was sharp, and she slammed the table, causing the coffee to spill all over the table.

"I think you heard clearly just now." William said calmly.

"William, do you know that that is the Dark Lord?!" Rita's expression became a little ferocious.

"Why, dare not write?" William knocked on the table, and the water on the table began to evaporate, emitting white smoke.

"You have helped me write so many articles, and you have already been ordered to kill the Death Eaters, are you afraid now?"

"Boss, you misunderstood." Rita suddenly smiled, she let out a foul breath, and said with a grin:

"This man is the scariest demon king ever. He kills people without batting an eyelid. Write his autobiography..."

"Add money!!"

"It's easy." William leaned back on the chair with satisfaction, and it was the first time he noticed that Rita was quite moist too.

"But I don't have information about the mysterious man's past, and I don't know anything about his past."

Adaptation is not a random compilation... She must have a reason to write her autobiography, right?
"I can provide detailed information, even an interview with his teacher back then, for your reference."

The portraits and ghosts of Hogwarts all have memories of Tom, and they are the best personal witnesses.

"Then I will definitely write a biography that satisfies you, boss." Rita said confidently.

"How long will it take for the book to come out?" Hermione had already begun to urge the manuscript.

"Boss, I have to polish it up." Although Rita was ordered to kill her and was not afraid of being bitten by lice all over her body...but she also wanted to continue to check the direction of the wind.

It would be best if the biography was published after the Dark Lord was defeated and died, so the danger would be much lower.

"I need you to finish the draft before Christmas, aren't you a quick shooter?" William said in a tone of disbelief.

"Okay." Rita shrugged. "But a word of caution, not all publishers dare to publish this masterpiece."

"Don't worry, I will help you find a suitable publishing house." William said.

Rita grabbed her crocodile bag, turned into a beetle, and flew out happily.

She had already thought of the title of the book.

——The Life and Lies of Tom Riddle! "
