It was a happy day for Rita. She had finally discovered something that would get her out from under that Granger Girls thumb, all she needed to do was witness it and she would be able to escape Grangers revenge. Really that girl had no sense of humor, so she wrote an article about her having an affair during the war with the Dark Lord it wasn't like she had claimed she slept with the entire Death Eater army. Now that she thought about it once she had a record of the necessary black mail material that might be a fun article to write. She thought back to the time she had observed her ticket to freedom.
Hermione, Ron, Harry and Ginny sat together at a table in the three broomsticks not noticing the beetle on the windowsill near the back. "So Hermione " Harry said "I hear you've got some problems with your new apartment building
You had better believe it Harry the entire place is packed I've been staying with Ginny until the guy I've hired can come and eliminate the problem. I mean its disgusting that the manager lets filth like that move into the building, anyways it will all be over tomorrow and once he's cleaned up the bodies I can move back in."
"You know Hermione you should probably check his credentials do you really know for sure he's as good as he says and will do the job right" asked Harry.
"Oh I plan to be there to watch the filth get what it deserves, but for your information incase you plan to use it for your own problems the man I hired works for a big company and has been doing this for over a decade he's an old friend of my fathers from his army days."
Well if he's as good as you say I might take you up on that offer," with that they got up from there table and left the room.
Rita still could not believe her luck. To think that Little Miss Perfect, a Mudblood herself not only had the audacity to call her neighbors (who Rita knew were all Purebloods) filth. But that was only the beginning, she had hired a muggle to kill them and Harry Bloody Potter implied he might do the same. Rita sat on a chair in Grangers apartment waiting for her to arrive with her assassin and daydreamed about Grangers reaction when she realized that she had been caught, oh she would be begging her to write any story she wished to keep that information from the Wizengamot. After all no matter whom her best friend was she would definitely get the Dementers Kiss. If Rita had been paying closer attention she probably would have noticed Hermione enter the room with a heavyset older man in brown coveralls, however she did not notice until he was directly in front of her holding a funny looking muggle contraption, a few seconds later it all went black.
Michael Stevenson had joined the army at eighteen and served with Adam Granger during their only tour of duty and maintained a correspondence with him year later in fact he considered Adams daughter to be his niece. Therefore, when she called him upset he naturally came to help. Working for Orkin Man had made situations like this routine, the only thing he couldn't figure out was why thier was only one bug and why when he killed it Hermione was so happy, he shrugged maybe his favorite niece was scared of bugs it was common enough and there couldn't possibly be any other explanation.
