Your scenario is possible I suppose since Rita doesn't know why
Hermione has summoned her. Still, can you imagine Umbridge allowing
any Hogwarts student set up a meeting with *Rita Skeeter*,(of all
people)? We do know that she's monitoring all post in and out of
Hogwarts, so I think she'd be very, very suspicious of Hermione
Granger setting up a date with a notorious reporter who has been
very critical of the MoM in the past. I would imagine that would
set off all sorts of alarm bells for Dolores Jane <g>!

vmonte responds:

Rita may have a cute animagus nickname/codename like Sirius did.
Hermione wouldn't have to write Rita's name on the letter, just 
whatever code/contact name they decided on.  By the way, maybe they 
contact each other through personal ads in the newspaper.
