A/N: This is a drabble I wrote for a contest. I might add more to it later, but for now I'm leaving it the way it is. Enjoy!
Twenty year old, Hermione Granger sat in the Three Broomsticks, sipping a Butterbeer, waiting for someone from the Daily Prophet to show up. I don't even know why I'm doing this.
A week ago, Hermione had stunned and captured two Death Eaters, after they attacked her in Diagon Alley. The Daily Prophet had contacted her almost immediately, begging for an interview. At first, Hermione had refused, but after the Daily Prophet kept sending her letters, she had finally given in, just so they would leave her alone.
Hermione had been waiting for twenty minutes for the reporter to come, and she was getting very annoyed by their lateness. Is this reporter ever going to show up? Hermione thought.
Suddenly, the door to the Three Broomsticks opened, and in walked someone Hermione had not seen for a very long time, and hoped to never see again.
It was Rita Skeeter. She had aged a bit, but she still had the same curled blond hair, long, red, nails, and jeweled spectacles. She was also carrying her same crocodile skin bag and Quick Quotes Quill.
No…it can't be.
Rita glanced around the room, spotted Hermione, and slowly walked over to the table where Hermione was sitting.
"Hello, Granger, I'll be interviewing you today," Rita said stiffly.
"You're interviewing me!" Hermione blurted out.
"I didn't volunteer. No one else was available to interview you, so don't flatter yourself," Rita spat.
"Let's just get this over with," Hermione said bitterly.
Rita sat down and took out her Quick Quotes Quill.
"So, what was running through your mind when you first saw the Death Eaters?" Rita asked.
I was about to go say hi, and invite them to get an ice cream with me, of course. Hermione thought sarcastically.
"Well, I tried to stay calm, and I was ready to help fight," Hermione replied.
"Interesting, interesting."
Bushy haired girl, Hermione Granger, raves about how she fearlessly fought off the Death Eaters, single handedly. The Quick Quotes Quill wrote.
"Hey! The quill-" Hermione started.
"Just ignore it," Rita said with a smirk.
Hermione sighed, wondering what she had gotten herself into.
