I don't own HP, it all belongs to JK

I didn't hear any warning alarms triggered by anyone apparating into the garden of the burrow but as I sat drinking a cup of tea, I heard a sharp tap on the kitchen door. I regretted opening the door as soon as I saw who was stood there, quill and notebook in hand.
"What do you want?" I snapped at Rita.

"Now, now Molly! There's no need to be like that!"
I sighed "Rita, I have every right to "Be like that!" When have you ever written anything complimentary about my family or friends in anything you have written?"
"Why Molly! What a hurtful thing to say to me! I only try and report what the Wizarding world wants to hear. And if its dirt that needs to be reported, then I am your girl."
"Well, I am sorry to disappoint you Rita, but there is no dirt here. And if you've come snooping for any gossip..."
"Snooping? Snooping? I am offended Molly! When have you ever known me to snoop?"
"You were two years below me at school, Rita; you were forever trying to snoop on the older students so you could run off and tell a teacher." She began to object, but I butted in "And I know all about your reporting of the Tri Wizard tournament. The ridiculous story you made up about Harry and Hermione dating was pathetic and caused a lot of upset, you know." The words were out of my mouth before I had thought about it and regretted it instantly.
"Talking of Mr Potter and Miss Granger, would you care to comment on their relationships with the two youngest members of your family?"
"No, I would not!" I snapped at her. "Now would you care to leave my home please?"
"But Molly! The Wizarding world is on tenterhooks! Rumours are flying that wedding bells are soon to be heard! Miss Weasley has reportedly been seen taking off a ring before Quidditch practice with the Harpies and we know that young Mr Weasley was seen in a jewellers in Diagon Alley. It's not Miss Granger's birthday any time soon, so one must put two and two together..."
"You mean jump to the wrong conclusion! You haven't got anything Rita!" I felt myself beginning to get angry now. When would this woman learn not to snoop? "And even if there was a story that the young people wanted to tell the wizarding world, do you really think that they would give the scoop to you?"
"My, my, Molly! Have I hit a nerve here? Is there something in the rumours? Will there be wedding bells here soon? Will it be a double wedding or will Mr Potter object to sharing his limelight with his side kicks?"
I could feel the anger beginning to boil over and knew I needed to get rid of the woman before I said something I would regret
"Right! That's it! Leave Rita! You are not getting anything out of me! Don't you dare come within 50 meters of this house or I will Hex you into next week! And if you dare send anyone else to do your dirty work, I will Hex the balls off of them!" There! That was it! I had said something I would regret. I knew that Rita would find some way of making my outburst headline news in the morning.
Rita raised an eyebrow before tucking her quill and notebook back into her handbag.

"Fine Molly," she smiled at me "I know when I have overstayed my welcome ... I can take a hint... " She turned and walked away from me, but before she reached the gate and the field where she could apparate safely away from the house she had one last passing shot to make. "Don't forget to get a copy of the Prophet tomorrow will you."

The Golden Trio! Tying The Knot?

Rumours have been circulating recently that a certain hot headed Harpies player, girlfriend of Mr Potter, Miss Ginny Weasley, was seen removing an engagement ring before training last week. Miss Weasley has taken great care to make sure that nobody outside of her peer group has managed to get a glance at the latest bauble Mr Potter has decided to adorn her with, but a close source to yours truly has reported that the ring is not new, but the engagement ring of Mr Potters tragic mother, Mrs Lilly Potter, who died protecting her son from You Know Who.
Meanwhile, Mr Potter's sidekick, the youngest Weasley and brother to the hot headed Harpie, has been spotted in a jewellers in Diagon Alley. One can only wonder if Mr Ronald Weasley is considering proposing to the other member of the Golden Trio, one Miss Hermione Granger. Mr Weasley and Miss Granger have rarely been seen in public since the end of the war but when they have made an appearance they have made it quite clear that they are a couple, breaking the hearts of many young Witches and Wizards all over the world. Mr Wesley is even said to have a keen (excuse the muggle term) Cougar following who will be heartbroken to see him off the market.
Mrs Molly Weasley, when asked for her opinion on her youngest children's impending nuptials, shared this comment with your favourite reporter.

"You are not getting anything out of me! Don't you dare come within 50 meters of this house or I will Hex you into next week! And if you dare send anyone else to do your dirty work, I will Hex the balls off of them!"
So dear reader, if you wish to enquire after the young couples or ask where your invitation may be, I advise approaching Molly with caution."

I felt myself redden as I read through the column. This wasn't the worst that Rita had published about my family, but still. I should have known better. I heard footsteps coming down the stairs before I heard Ron's shout.

"Mum! George has just owled me! Apparently that Skeeter woman has been writing about us again, but she's written about you too!" Ron came stumbling into the kitchen and saw me sat with the newspaper in front of me. "So, you've seen it then?"
"Yes, I've seen it."
"Bloody Hell Mum! She can have a go at us all she likes, but where does she get off bringing you into this? Like you'd ever say anything like that, especially to Skeeter..."
I looked intently down at the paper, I could feel myself begin to glow.
"Mum?" I felt the smile begin to grow as I looked up at Ron "You didn't!"
"Didn't what?"
"Threaten to Hex Skeeter and the balls off Skeeters cronies!" He picked the paper up and scanned through the article.
"Well! She deserved it! I am fed up with it! How dare she think she has the right to stick her nose into our business! She's caused too much heartache over the years. I'm amazed she still has a job! Even if it is working for that rag!"
"Mum! You are... Bloody brilliant!" Ron laughed and pulled me into a hug. "No, actually, you are a genius!"
"Ron, I don't condone violence!" He laughed again.
"Course you don't!" He took a step back from me "I must write back to George! I don't think he'll believe me when I tell him!"
"Ron!"

Ron hurtled back up the stairs on the hunt for Pig, a piece of paper and a quill. This was something I wasn't going to live down for a while.

Thank you for taking the time to peruse dear reader-now do I go ahead and deal with the fall out from the story? Should the couples elope or go ahead with their wedding plans. Please let me know as the plot bunnies are undecided and are having a tug of war over which way I should jump ... Pulling more to a Romione elopement ...
