AN: I was recently inspired to write Rita Skeeter as a character for one of these because of a roleplay blog I've recently been interacting with.
Great Witches and Wizards:
Prompt: Writing
The blonde witch let out an annoyed sigh as she crumpled up the piece of parchment before throwing it into the fire. It was another rejection letter from another respected paper in the wizarding world. Rita frowned as she tossed her ponytail over her shoulder. Every letter she got told the twenty-year-old that she was either too young or too inexperienced that they didn't want to give her the time of day for a shot for working for them.
Rita did have experience, none of it was too hard hitting though. Most of it was the gossip that went around while she was at Hogwarts and none of that would be useful now that she was out on her own. She quickly glanced over at the publications on the table; both muggle and wizarding publications.
Her eyebrow quipped at some mysterious deaths in muggle paper and smirked when she read about the Minister denying the fact that You-Know-Who had anything to do with it.
Maybe this was it, the sort of thing she needed to get started.
Lifting her wand, Rita enchanted the quill sitting on the desk on the other side of the room. She began pacing back and forth, tapping her wand in the palm of her other hand as she walked. "The Minister for Magic seems to be denying the fact that You-Know-Who had anything to do with the deaths of these muggles..." As she began rambling the quill set off writing everything that she said that came to mind.
Half way through the piece of parchment, Rita cast her wand back over at the quill, making it stop. She re-read everything that she had said, smirking. Here it was, finally a story that would hopefully launch her career as a journalist in the wizarding world.
