Harry noticed Beetle had glasses that were glittering with jewels, unlike the normal Beetles. He knew it was a special characteristic of Animagas form.
He placed it on the bed and took out his wand.
Harry had read many books, but he didn't find much information about Animagus, only bits and pieces. He really wanted to learn and become an animagus, but until now, it wasn't possible. He went to the System and bought all the knowledge about the Animagus. The price was 2500 HP, but he didn't mind as he has more than 15000 HP in balance.
All the information transformed into his brain. Harry pointed his wand at Beetle and cast chant-less spells. His wand let out a blue light and it fell on Beetle. Beetle soon started to transfer as she grew two legs and the torso, it grew hands and lastly her head. It was none other than Rita Skeeter. She looked the same as when he saw her on the street wearing her shiny green two-piece suit.
Harry was amazed at the transformation that took place, but he was alert if she would make any move.
Harry used another spell, just to be safe.
"Expelliarmus!"
Her wand flew out of her suit in the air, and Harry cached the wand in mid-air. He stored her wand in the ring.
He saved another stunning spell in his ring just in case she did something stupid.
He cast another spell to revive her from the stun spell. He pointed the wand at her chest and shouted the spell.
"Rennervate!"
The red light came out from the wand and entered her body. Rita stirred feebly. She opened her lovely eyes and looked around in confusion. Her surroundings weren't the same, her bedroom, where she woke up every morning. She tries to remember something to get a better understanding. She was supposed to get a piece of article by making fight two well know wizards which she planned perfectly. It went as well as she had planned. They started a duel when they disagreed with each other which she guided them without them realizing. Right, she got a good scoop and left the place filled with lecherous wizards.
She was going back to her office to write the final draft of the article when she saw a young man she laid eyes on. Others might not know about him, but she knew very well. A few weeks ago she heard someone was offering double the price for potion ingredients, and the man in question was a young master from a hidden family. It piqued her interest, and she started gathering information about him. She was shocked when she saw him earlier, and she was about to call him for debate, but he left immediately afterward. Now, she saw him again here. She couldn't help but follow him. He looked deep in thought thus he didn't notice her.
She knew better than anyone about a mystery.
More the mystery, better the juices scoop.
This so-called young master has too many mysteries, thus she couldn't pass the scandals hidden with him.
She was trying hard not to look like she was going in the same direction as him, but it was hard being the center of attention. Everyone in the street was looking at them—witches look at Harry even she had to admit that he was the most handsome man she had ever seen, and all the wizards were staring at her which she had earned with hard work of news but those lecherous eyes came along— so it was hard not to notice by someone.
She had a secret not known by any. She was determined to follow him and found his secret, so she went nearby abandoned street, and changed to her Animagus form when she made sure no one was nearby. Her Animagus form is Beetle, which is very hard to notice, and very easy to listen to a private conversation.
She came out and followed him to the tea shop, but it was hard to enter without opening the door. She wasn't disappointed as it wasn't her first time doing such a thing. She entered from the keyhole. When she entered, she saw he was sitting with a woman. She was shocked when she examined closely it was woman fear by everyone in the ministry for her strict policy. But here she was sitting with the man and acting like a little girl in love! It is spicy news! People will be shocked knowing this, so she went near them to listen. It was hard being Beetle as it takes time to move from one place to another. It was also hard to listen to in that form, so she had to be near them.
When reached near the table, she was going to sit on Amelia, but something made her go near that man. She didn't know why, but she was feeling hot and attracted to the man sitting across. She can understand why Amelia liked him. He was very, very handsome. His smile was charming, and his eyes, bright green color were intoxicant.
That was the last thing she remembers when the hand covers her and the darkness follows with it.
She looked around and found that that young man was looking at her in a cheerful mood as if his Christmas came earlier than expected. She was dazed by his charm and forgot everything else in her mind. Harry first spoke when he saw she was dazed by his appearance.
"It would be awkward if you would just stare at Us, and bit rude too," said Harry, "We are handsome of course, but starting like that…it makes Us uncomfortable."
She came to reality when she heard his comment. She was panicked when she came out of shock.
"Wh-Why are in my room?? I have many friends in the high post at the ministry. Even the minister is a good friend of mine," asked Rita, in panic.
"That is a misunderstanding. It isn't your room," replied Harry, still smiling and holding his wand for any unexpected thing.
She looked around and remembered that it wasn't her room which made her panic more.
"Why am I here? And where is this place? You will regret making enemies out of me. Let me go this instant," demanded Rita, while checking her surroundings for escape.
"There are better questions to ask such as why you were following us in your Animagus form," replied Harry, in a calm tone.
She was shocked by hearing his question. Right, her secret was exposed. She now has a more important thing to worry about. She controlled her emotions and started thinking about the plan. Harry wasn't in a hurry, so he didn't disturb her.
"So what? I didn't break any rules. I was just passing by. You forcefully abducted me, now that is a crime," she said with confidence, "I have a good relationship with the minister. If you ask for an apology and let me go, I won't pursue this matter. If not…humph."
Harry was amazed at how she can turn black to white. It was her who was clearly in the wrong, but still, she was behaving like it was all Harry's fault instead, and on top of that, she was threatening him for breaking the law. She was using a carrot and stick method, and her acting was perfect. She shows him the stick with law-breaking and carrot with an apology. It was a truly good plan she came up with in this short time. Harry couldn't help but praise her in mind.
Rita noticed his change in experience, and so she started feeling happy when she heard his mild laughter.
"Do you think it is funny? I am telling you if you not…" said she, but Harry cut her sentence and replied, "There is nothing wrong in what you said, but you forgot one crucial detail. If you want to complain, you can but don't forget to tell them about your unregistered Animagus Form."
She was shocked again, and now genuine worry has covered her.
"Mind, We don't care about so-called laws. Even if there is something, remember, We are rich," added Harry.
That made her lose all hope. She knew better than anyone about how corrupt the ministry was because she was manipulating many of them in the dark. Any crime can be bypassed as long as you have a connection and gold to provide the cause. She was sure her plan would work but now she lost all her hope, but staying down would change her situation. She had to take some steps or action to come out of this danger. She actually didn't feel danger with this man, but she didn't like being in other' mercy as she got used to controlling others. This kind of feeling was new to her, and this new thing frightened her.
She was Slytherin, so her cunning-ness was her second nature. The gear of her mind started to spin. She came up with another plan.
"Fine, I won't complain about your rude behavior to the authorities, but if you dare to rape me, my lovers won't let you live even if you can pass the ministry law," threatened Rita loudly. She wanted to use all the rumors in an advantage of her and intimidate him for better negotiation, as she was sure that he wanted something from him.
When Harry heard her loud threat, he was shocked in wonder.
What is going on? Sex never crossed his mind as he was preoccupied with animagus. How did the conversation turn to sex and rape? He wasn't short in partners, so he wasn't desperate for sex. Besides, he only saw her for the first time today, so how can he go crazy to abduct and rape her? She was a beauty, but he had seen many women more beautiful than her, even in sex appeal, she was lower than Jessica who he met during his house-hunting.
WAIT A MINUTE!
The whole conversation was about HER illegal animagus, and not about HIS hypothetical rape.
What a cunning fox!
She changed the conversation in the direction where she could go on offense, and Harry had to defend himself. He really can't let his guard down. He took a deep breath in and decided to ask her directly rather than going sidetrack. He knew he can't win with these old foxes in schemes, so being direct was the best option.
"Miss, you misunderstood Us, We only wanted to know about how to become Animagus," said Harry sincerely.
She was shocked beyond words. Her mouth was a wild open and her eyes bulge like a tennis ball.
What the hell!!?? He just wanted to know about how to become an animagus?? Can't you say that earlier?? I was dying here from all the worries!
Curse this guy even if he is super handsome!

Could there be better heading, I wonder?
Power stones for the Harem Lord!
