"George, I'm parched!" announces Eileen. "A glass of
Drambuie, if you please."

"Coming up."

Cindy looks at Eileen resentfully. "Are you even legal
to drink?" she asks. 

"In Canada," says Eileen. "Probably in TBAY as well.
Anyway, where's Derannimer? What is she playing at?
Avery/Rita. I'm here to defend Aves from such
insinuations." 

"No, not like that. Please," says Derannimer. "I'll
take Avery completely separate from Rita, thankyou."

"Derannimer's planning for Rita Skeeter to write the
truth of Voldemort's return for Dumbledore," says
Kirstini. "All I wanted to say was that the idea of
her 
suddenly turning embedded reporter for Dumbledore
seems a little  out of character."

"True," says Eileen. "She's evil, that woman is."

"Evil!" cries Cindy. "I fed her into the Virtue-meter.
It says she was just doing her job."

"As far as I can recall, Cindy, that excuse has been
deemed invalid in International Law. But perhaps she
will write something that will end up helping
Dumbledore. 'Oft evil will evil mar,' to quote a
favourite author of mine."

"She won't leave Hermione alone!" cries Cindy. "Is
there anyone who thinks Rita Skeeter will suffer the
indignity of being trapped in a jar by a kid,
kidnapped to London and blackmailed into not
practicing her trade yet do *nothing* to retaliate?"

"No, I don't think so, Cindy," says Eileen. "But
you've forgotten something..."

"She heard it all about Voldemort coming back, and
she's not exactly renowned for her ability to keep
schtum, is she? Blackmail or no blackmail, there is no
WAY she's going to sit tight on this one," Kirstini
wrote. 

"I think she just might," says Eileen. "For OotP
anyway."

"That's out of character!" cries Cindy.

"She owes Dumbledore one!" says Derannimer. 

"Why would she sit on the greatest story of her life?"
asks Kirstini. 

"Because Hermione isn't the only one who's got Rita's
number. I mean, would you be much afraid of Hermione?"

"I most certainly wouldn't!" cries Cindy. 

"I wouldn't tangle with Lucius Malfoy, though," says
Eileen. 

There is a long pause. 

"Guess who now knows that Rita's an animagus, as soon
as Draco rushes home to tell everything..."

Eileen
