No matter what, nothing was good enough for Rita Skeeter. Her teachers were never good enough, her robes were never good enough, her stories were never good enough. It seemed as if nothing would ever be good enough for her. Nearly Headless Nick found himself stunned at how nothing was ever good for her, it was not enough that she had the best money could buy, she wanted better. The trend followed through after she left Hogwarts. Her boyfriends never did enough to deserve her love, the world didn't do enough to ensure her a story to report on and her friends came short. Her letters to Nick always contained some degree of irritation at how she wanted more, she always wanted more. The world was not enough for Rita Skeeter; she had to have the solar system.
It wasn't enough that Nick loved Rita. It would never be enough, and he knew this well. Rita Skeeter would never be satisfied. Things could always be better, everything could be improved. Nick could love her all he wanted, she would always expect so much more than he could ever give. She needed a lover, a saviour, a hero, someone to hold her up and make every day worth waking up for. Rita Skeeter needed so much more than a ghost could ever give, and every day Nick woke up to the fact that his love alone was not enough for her.
