The door to the archives looked dilapidated, and Ethan knocked on it. He heard the old wooden door creaking and dust falling to the ground.

"Who? Come in!" A shout came from the door.

Ethan opened the door, and what caught his eye was a lot of bookshelves. The bookshelves were tall, large, and closely packed, so the entire archive room looked cramped and closed.

The entire archive room was very dark, and most of the light was blocked by tall bookshelves.

With the sound of jingle bells, a sloppy old man walked out from the narrow gap of the bookshelf.

The old man was bald in his eighties, and the rest of his hair looked very messy.

"Young man! What are you looking for!" the old man asked loudly.

There was a name tag on his chest. Ethan took a long time to identify it in the dim light and found that most of the name tag was covered by stains, leaving only the surname "Frey."

"I'm looking for Rita Skeeter's files," Ethan said.

"What did you say? Loud! The old man's ears are not good!" Old Frey exclaimed.

Ethan is a little strange. Isn't there a matter of retirement from the Ministry of Magic? How can such an old man be in charge of the archives?

Then Ethan realized he would benefit the most if the Ministry of Magic didn't have a retirement mechanism. (T/N - Spoken like a true witcher.)

As long as nothing unexpected happens, Ethan could bring the Ministry of Magic into bankruptcy by getting paid.

"I'm looking for Rita Skeeter's files!" Ethan yelled in old Frey's ear.

Old Frey scratched his ears in shock and said, "Okay, Rita Skeeter, wait, I'll find it for you."

After saying that, old Frey got into the bookshelf again, and it didn't take long for the sound of jingle bells to come from the bookshelf.

Surprisingly, Old Frey's work efficiency was very high, and it didn't take long for Old Frey to put a file rack in front of Ethan with the words "Rita Skeeter" on it.

Ethan signed a form according to Old Frey's instructions to prove that he had come to retrieve the file and then left the file room with it.

Ethan returned to the office and started flipping through Rita Skeeter's files.

Only by reading Ethan did I find that Rita Skeeter has been known for this writing style since a very early age.

Rita Skeeter wrote a biography, "Armando Dippet: Master or Idiot?".

She deliberately exaggerated the description of things in this book, which made it a bestseller at the time.

And she deliberately left terrible reviews on many of her peers' writings to discredit others.

As you can see, Rita Skeeter's work ethic is pretty bad.

Suddenly, Ethan heard a soft knock on the door of his office.

The knock was so faint that if Ethan wasn't a witcher, he might not have even heard it.

Ethan walked over and opened the door, only to find Tonks sneaking at the door, looking left and right as if she was afraid of being discovered by others.

"Come in," Ethan said to Tonks.

Hearing Ethan's words, Tonks slipped into his office like a kitten.

For the first time in the same room with Ethan, Tonks was a little shy and expectant.

"Wow, your office is much better than ours!" Tonks admired while stroking his brand-new desk.

She was trying to distract herself so as not to blush.

At this moment, she is alone in a room with Ethan.

Tonks toured Ethan's office and soon discovered Rita Skeeter's file, which Ethan had placed on the desk.

"Rita Skeeter?" Tonks didn't respond.

"She has been talking shit," Ethan said to Tonks. "I'm not going to let her spread those rumors without paying any price."

"She is the worst!" Tonks growled.

Before, Tonks was sad because of Ethan's affairs, and now she remembered that her previous ordeals were all caused by Rita Skeeter.

"What do you want? You don't want to beat her! Don't do it! You just joined the Ministry of Magic!".

Tonks is a good girl, but now she has automatically substituted herself as Ethan's girlfriend and begins to worry about Ethan.

Looking at Tonks, who was worried about himself, a warmth flowed through Ethan's heart. Ethan leaned on a table, held Tonks' hands, and pulled Tonks before him.

At this time, the faces of the two were so close that they could even feel each other's breath.

Tonks' face turned red instantly, and even her ears turned red; she seemed to know what would happen and closed her eyes nervously.

Ethan looked at Tonks, trembling slightly, and kissed her lips.

Ethan wrapped his arms around Tonks' waist and felt the girl's delicate lips. Time seemed to move very slowly, and Tonks also changed from being stiff at the beginning to slowly responding to Ethan.

Just as Ethan was about to take the next step and move his sinful hand down, Tonks exclaimed.

"Not now, Ethan! We're at the Ministry of Magic!" Tonks was flushed and panting, and she had almost lost her just now.

Ethan also feels that the current scene could be more suitable. If someone suddenly pushes the door in the middle, he would mostly die.

"Then what are you going to do about Rita Skeeter?" Tonks diligently changed the subject.

"I got a handle on her, and she will soon fall into my hands," Ethan whispered in Tonks' ear.

Tonks' ears seemed very sensitive, and the air from Ethan's speech blew on them, making Tonks blush again.

"What's the handle?" Tonks asked curiously.

"Rita Skeeter is an unregistered Animagus who turns into a beetle to steal other people's secrets," Ethan said mysteriously.

Tonks was surprised to hear Ethan's words, and her eyes lit up immediately.

"That makes sense!" cried Tonks. "No wonder she gets so many scoops!"

"Rita Skeeter can't run now! What are you going to do? Put her in Azkaban?"

Tonks said excitedly that she hated Rita Skeeter very much now.

"No, Rita Skeeter is a perfect mouthpiece; maybe she can be used for something else," Ethan whispered to Tonks.

Ethan didn't plan to hide the matter of Rita Skeeter from Tonks, and sometimes, sharing some secrets could make the relationship between the two closer.

Tonks was brilliant, and from Ethan's words, Tonks quickly analyzed that Ethan intended to avoid reporting Rita Skeeter to the Ministry of Magic.

Ethan has bigger ambitions.

"Ethan, one by one," Tonks shook Ethan's hand instead, "I don't understand your plan, but if you want to do something, I will support you."

Tonks held Ethan's hand and said seriously.

The office was silent; Ethan and Tonks looked at each other quietly as if they were having an in-depth emotional exchange.

"Okay, Ethan, I have to go back, or Scrimgeour will yell at me again in a while," Tonks was the first to break the silence and said to Ethan.

She hurriedly kissed Ethan's face and was about to head outside.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and whispered in Ethan's ear, "That was my first kiss just now."

After speaking, Tonks ran out of Ethan's office quickly.
