  BeccaFran :
  "The group that Sirius has to worry about now is the MoM, and Fudge in
  particular (who's already shown he's only too happy to have the
  Dementors take care of an escaped prisoner). In this respect, Rita
  publishing what she knows can have a *huge* effect: The story appears
  in the Daily Prophet, Fudge and the Ministry look like fools, and
  they can now find Sirius and send him back to Azkaban or administer
  the kiss."

   Me:  All *very* true.  But wouldn't Rita also question why Ron, Hermione,
& Harry stated that Sirius was innocent, we know that she heard that.   Or
am I giving Rita too much credit as a good reporter instead of a sleazy
journalist?
