I became Voldemort

Early the next morning, when Cyrus went to work at the Ministry of Magic in the form of Delis, reporters from the Daily Prophet had almost surrounded the Ministry of Magic. 

The reporters with automatic writing quills grabbed every employee working at the Ministry of Magic and asked them if they knew about the attack on the Ministry of Magic last night.

The most important question was: Is this a dereliction of duty on the part of the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge?

Cyrus spotted one woman who stood out among the reporters.

She looked very bright, and her hair was styled into delicate, stiff, and weird curls. There is actually nothing wrong with this hairstyle, but it looks very awkward when paired with her face with a big chin.

She was dressed in jewels, even her glasses were gold-rimmed, and there was a thin gold chain hanging on the shelf. Her mouth was painted redder than a rose, and her nails looked like zombies pulled out of someone else's veins.

Rita Skeeter.

Cyrus recognized her.

This is a very troublesome woman, not a threat, just disgusting.

He moved into the crowd, intending to avoid Rita Skeeter and take a detour into the Ministry of Magic. But the woman's eyes were like the compound eyes of an insect, and she caught a glimpse of Cyrus.

"John Delis!"

Rita Skeeter yelled in a high-pitched voice, laughing and showing her teeth, as if she must have thought she looked absolutely charming: "John Delis, wait, can I have a moment, please! "

She used her sharp nails to dig through the crowd, and with a familiar look, she rushed in front of Cyrus in a few steps, bringing with her a strong, pungent, and dizzying aroma.

Judging from their age alone, Delis and Rita Skeeter were indeed classmates for a while, but in fact, there was no intersection between the two of them. Only people like Rita and Lockhart have something in common. They are the same kind of people. But Lockhart prefers to be in the limelight, while Skeeter prefers to make up things that don't exist.

Cyrus took a step back in disgust, leaning his upper body back. Out of politeness, he did not hold his nose directly: "You are?"

"Heartless!" Rita thought she was charming and stretched out her fat finger.

Of course, she came here after doing her homework.

It was not easy to get news about the Ministry of Magic. The first moment she learned the news, she had already thought of where to start. Interviewing a classmate from that year is a good choice. Especially since the other party is still an Auror.

"Okay, Delis, why don't we go and catch up on old times? By the way, I also want to ask you what you think of yesterday's events?" Rita's gorgeous look really made Cyrus feel a little nauseous.

"Please give way, Miss Skeeter, I still have to go to work. Otherwise, I will ask you to go to Azkaban to stay for a few days." Cyrus said politely and passed her.

Rita Skeeter looked at Cyrus's leaving figure without any anger. Instead, she curled her lips.

The shorthand quill on the side that only has thoughts is already writing furiously.

"Regarding the attack on the Ministry of Magic that occurred last night, the serving Auror John Delis refused to provide any information. However, it can be seen from his expression that he was very dissatisfied with the stupid plan of the Minister of Magic, Mr. Cornelius Fudge. When I interviewed him, his face showed a lot of reluctance and disdain for those Aurors who were knocked down...

"He believed that if he had been the person guarding the Ministry of Magic last night, he would never have allowed Tom Riddle to break into the Ministry of Magic and then leave. In view of Delis's excellent performance in school, the author Rita Skeeter Strongly agree.

"Delis seemed to think that it was extremely stupid for Fudge to send out a large number of Aurors to find the two fugitives. When the author asked him what he thought of Fudge sending out the Dementors, he sneered with disdain. Obviously, he thought that Although the Dementor is not lovable, at least it is much more reliable than some other Aurors..."

Cyrus stopped.

To be honest, he naturally didn't care about Rita Skeeter's smearing of the Ministry of Magic's image, nor did he care about the other party using the identity of "Delis" to make a fuss. After all, he is not Delis.

But right now, Cyrus is using the identity of Delis to find the whereabouts of the key to vault No. 12. If this report is published, Delis is a foul-mouthed arrogant man, there should be no inconsistencies with his act so maybe he should act as if he cares for 'his' image, right?

"Miss Rita Skeeter, I think it would be best for you to cut down some of your untrue remarks."

"Really?" Rita replied softly, but the quill did not stop at all.

"When the author wrote these true contents, Delis angrily asked the author to erase all the contents, calling them 'untrue remarks'. It can be seen that under the pressure of the Minister of Magic, All employees' speech is under control——"

Cyrus was a little annoyed. He turned towards Reeta and was about to take a step forward when his arm was grabbed by another person who jumped out.

"Wait, Delis, don't be impulsive." Tonks appeared out of nowhere. She probably thought that Cyrus was going to hit someone, so she was very nervous. But in reality, Cyrus was just trying to reason with Rita (threaten Rita).

Rita Skeeter looks confident.

"What do you think would happen if a serving Auror attacked an innocent, law-abiding person at the entrance of the Ministry of Magic?"

"She's trying to irritate you!" Tonks said.

"Oh, a young girl, having an extramarital affair?"

"What did you say?" Tonks immediately became furious. Just now, she was trying to persuade Cyrus to calm down, but now she rushed towards Reeta with her teeth and claws bared as if she wanted to tear Rita Skeeter's gossiping mouth into pieces.

"No need to explain. I know this is not something that can be seen in the light." Rita showed an annoying smile, "Nymphadora Tonks, and her name is similar, this is a debauchery-"

"Snapped!"

Halfway through Rita Skeeter's words, the suspended shorthand quill exploded, and the parchment filled with messy writing turned into powder.

She was startled, and her steps staggered.

She wore a pair of high heels, and the small openings of the shoes were stretched wide by her thick insteps and ankles. This put a strain on the shoes, and eventually, they could no longer bear it. Suddenly, they broke under the weight they shouldn't have had to bear.

The person who took action was Cyrus.

This movement suddenly attracted the attention of everyone who was surrounding the entrance of the Magic Department, and even the furious Tonks was at a loss for what to do.

"Delis, why did you..."

Rita Skeeter was stunned and horrified at first, and then she immediately thought of how to use the topic. She doesn't like to show off like Lockhart's peacock, but prefers to hide behind the scenes to manipulate public opinion and gain fame and fortune.

An Auror acted in public. If the public opinion about this matter expanded, even Fudge would have to beg her to withdraw the report with a lot of gold galleons. Of course, a little gold galleons cannot satisfy her now.

When the time comes, she must let John Delis kneel in front of her and kiss her insteps to admit her mistake!

So she immediately pretended to look delicate, but her coquettish and ugly look made people feel awkward.

"Everyone, a dignified Auror from the Ministry of Magic actually attacked a peaceful wizard in public. Is this the Auror who protects us? Is this the official of the Ministry of Magic whom we elected?

"You think threats and intimidation can make me retreat? But let me tell you, it's impossible!

"As a well-known newspaper reporter, my social responsibility tells me that I will never surrender to you!" Rita Skeeter gave an impassioned speech, packaging herself into an image of justice and fearlessness of power.

So much so that other reporters or others who were surrounding the entrance of the Magic Department already regarded Cyrus and Tonks as unreasonable villains who used their power to bully wizards.

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