The Scoop on Rita Skeeter, Mud Slinger
By: Hannah Abbott
For years now, Rita Skeeter has delivered the exclusive scoop on all sorts of people and topics, gleefully destroying both people's reputations and their rights to privacy. Her victims were all left with the same unanswered question: How did she do it? How was Rita able to report on events without actually being there? Who told her private information?
Thanks to some helpful hints from a particularly clever source and some stealthy reporting, the Daily Prophet is now able to exclusively reveal that Rita Skeeter is an unregistered Animagus, taking the form of a beetle. Animagi are required by Wizarding Law to register with the Ministry of Magic at the Improper Use of Magic Office. The registration process is quite simple, with only one form to fill out as well as a test of abilities.
Rita Skeeter, however, chose not to do this, perhaps under the correct assumption that if her Animagus form were known, no one would let it near them. Failing to register as an Animagus results in a minimum term of two years in Azkaban. It is unfortunate that that is what's waiting for Rita.
It has also been revealed that Rita has kept stocks of Veritaserum, ten times the amount that any witch or wizard is allowed to possess.
