I became Voldemort Chapter 112: The Animagus Exposed

"I can't help but wonder, is the person standing in front of now an Auror or a brutal Death Eater?!"

Rita Skeeter pressed forward with a very serious accusation. Nowadays, just as people rarely ntion You-Know-Who, the term Death Eater is also rarely ntioned.

Because this word represents a tragic history and the unhealed scars of many families of the victims.

It's rare to even ntion it, let alone make such an accusation against a person. If the accusation is true, the other party will be greeted with a permanent residence permit from Azkaban.

Cyrus felt that the fact that he was accused of being a Death Eater by others was very absurd and funny, but it seed to be sowhat reasonable.

But if you insist on connecting him with the Death Eaters, then he can also be said as the leader of the Death Eaters!

Of course, he had little interest in leading a pack of gutter-crawling scavengers.

Rita Skeeter's words had exploded like a bomb.

More and more people ca and surrounded the three of them. Being watched by hundreds of pairs of eyes, even though Rita had seen many big scenes, she felt a little scared at the mont.

Tonks was completely panicked and gripped Cyrus' shoulders so hard that her knuckles turned white.

"Delis, what should we do now?" She lowered her voice, and her voice trembled like a cotton string that was stretched and then plucked.

Of course, she didn't think the accusation would co true, but if things got serious, both of them might be temporarily suspended, oh no, Delis might be temporarily suspended.

As for her?

She was just a trainee who was not even an official Auror. She was just a "temporary worker and had been dismissed" and that was it.

Whether it was the stares of those eyes or the constantly flashing magic caras, Tonks felt panicked.

The densely packed figures in front of her suddenly seed to have lost their specific faces and turned into silhouettes. These shadows surrounded her, suddenly swelling - or maybe she was shrinking - Tonks felt like she was about to fall into endless abuse and accusations.

However, at this mont, a strong hand pressed on Tonks' shoulder. That hand was like a heavy boulder, which suddenly cald her anxious heart.

Tonks suddenly woke up from her thoughts dizzy as if experiencing anemia, and the faces of those figures suddenly flew back.

She saw the short Moody with ssy silver hair struggling to push through the crowd, and saw Fudge wiping sweat while driving away reporters with a chubby woman wearing pink clothing...

Of course, there is also the man who is closest to her and protecting her by standing in front of her.

Surprisingly, Tonks could clearly see Moody's face, which was disappearing and appearing in the crowd, but when she looked at "Delus", she felt that his figure and half of his face were blurry.

"Stand back." All Cyrus left her with was his back.

He raised his head and took a few steps forward, looking at Rita Skeeter as if looking at sothing funny——

A peacock who is good at performing.

No, the peacock is at least beautiful, Rita is just a showy pheasant at best.

Rita felt very annoyed. She wanted to see 'Delis' fearful and speechless: "What do you want?"

"What do I want?" Cyrus raised his eyebrows, but before he could say anything, Fudge and Moody had already squeezed in from two different directions.

"What happened?" As soon as Fudge ca in, he imdiately walked between Cyrus and Rita. Umbridge, who was following him, gave Cyrus and Tonks a hard look, as if asking them why they had brought such trouble to the Ministry of Magic.

"Dear Minister of Magic, I think you've co at the right ti." Rita imdiately put on a smile that she thought was full of charm, and her dazzling red lips made her look extrely aggressive.

"Aurors from the Ministry of Magic launched an attack on , a law-abiding citizen. I think you should be able to give an explanation." She kept staring at Fudge, who imdiately felt the pressure.

He is not afraid of this woman, but afraid of the public opinion behind this matter. If he doesn't handle it well, his already precarious approval rating may be even lower.

"Delis! What's going on!" He turned to look at Cyrus, his plump features were squeezed together, and his eyes seed to be about to shoot out.

"Who! Give you! The right! To attack! A law-abiding! Citizen?" He gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his face were trembling with every word he spoke.

"Minister..." Tonks seed to want to say sothing, but was stopped by Cyrus.

Cyrus was not anxious at all and said slowly: "Mr. Minister, I am just fulfilling my obligations as an Auror."

"What does that an?"

Fudge was stunned.

Cyrus glanced lightly at the wizards who were watching, as if to remind them to listen carefully. Finally, his eyes rested on Rita, which made Rita Skeeter suddenly feel uneasy.

"Rita Skeeter, do you dare to say that you haven't violated any laws now?" Cyrus was not in a hurry to tell the truth, lest this woman shirks that she had only recently mastered the Animagus and had no ti to register.

He first wants the other party to admit that she is "completely law-abiding."

"Of course!" Rita stood up and straightened her chest, looking very confident. Of course, she couldn't say in front of so many people that she had violated the law.

"What are you doing?" Moody whispered.

He was worried that Cyrus would make things difficult for him, which would drag down his good student.

"Perhaps Delis did catch sothing about Rita Skeeter." Not far away, Arthur Weasley was talking to another official from the Ministry of Magic. "There are many reports about Rita Skeeter and the sources are all weird."

"You said you were completely law-abiding?" Cyrus walked slowly around Rita Skeeter.

With every step he took, Rita's face lost a little confidence. Of course, the only law she had broken over the years was Animagus. She was wondering whether Cyrus had really caught her, or was just bluffing.

"Rita Skeeter, you don't think you can hide the fact that you are an illegal Animagus for the rest of your life, do you?"

"What?" Fudge scread, as if he had just gone deaf. His reaction was even greater than Rita's.

"You heard it right, Mr. Minister." Cyrus said softly, "Rita Skeeter has been an illegal Animagus since many years ago, in the form of a flying beetle. Over the years, she used her Animagus form many tis and the sources for her reports were obtained illegally in this way."

Rita's face, sared with several layers of thick foundation, could no longer see any color.

"I think the Ministry of Magic has a way of finding out whether a person is an Animagus, right?"
