Of course, I don't particularly trust Rita Skeeter, so this whole 
idea does seem pretty risky to me.<<

I was living in state of confusion for a while.  I could have sworn 
Hermione was going to keep Rita for a whole year.  I thought it was a 
horrible idea to walk around with her for a year because she'll have 
all the "juicy" gossip and write a story called "My Year Entrapped 
and Then Some."  But since my sis cleared up that Hermione was to set 
Rita free once she was left Hogwart's Express and now, here, that she 
most likely saw Sirius transform,  I believe now more than ever that 
she is going to write a very bad article on everything she has 
heard.  She is going to be very angry that a little girl discovered 
her secret and she's going to get back at her by hitting her with the 
secrets she has heard.

It's not going to be a pretty sight.  There's going to be *big* 
trouble, I know it.
