Small-time revenge? I think not.

Let's weigh the situation-

On one hand we have the greatest story of the century and only Rita
knows. Well, she the only one who knows who is likely to tell.
* Voldemort has returned.
* Dumbledore is associating and even aiding the most notorious
criminal alive (excluding Voldemort), Sirius Black.
* She know Sirius is a animagi big black dog.
* Dumbledore and Fudge have had a falling out.
* DUmbledore is marshalling the troops.
* She knows Snape is on a secret mission on Dumbledore's orders.
* She knows Barty Crouch Jr is alive and has been masquerading as Moody.
* She knows Dumbledore wants to get rid of the Dementor and ally with
the giants.
* She knows Harry has named several promenent citizens as active Death
Eaters.
* She knows Cedric Diggory died in the Tri-Wizards Tournement. What
she know that other's don't is that Voldemort killed him. Although,
later, Dumbledore tells this to the students.
* She know Harry TOLD Cedric to take the Tri-Wizard's Cup with him.
* She knows Snape has the Dark Mark and how it works.
* She knows Karkaroff has fled in fear of his life.
* and more...

Now, on the other hand-
* people might find out she is an unregistered animagi. 

Which probably means she will be embarassed, will have to pay a fine,
and will have to register. Plus, there is nothing to stop her from
using her bug form to eavesdrop on people in the future. 

The greatest group of stories she could ever imagine vs. being found
out as an animagi. 

These stories are so hot that when she writes them she probably have a
whole case of Quick-Quotes Quills burst into flames.

I stand firmly by what I said before -

"EXPECT BIG TROUBLE FROM RITA IN THE NEXT BOOK. Disasterous trouble."
Deadly serious trouble.

Maybe it will be Rita's big mouth or fat pen that will be responsible
for the death in the next book. 

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
