AN: I have been writing like crazy today. Don't really know why but I think its because I want to get to the Department of Mysteries and figure exactly what to do with that. Still not JK Rowling.

I sat at the table in the great hall tapping my foot nervously. Today was a Hogsmeade day but Rita still hadn't gotten back to me. The mail came in and a large brown owl landed in front of me. I opened it and read it quickly. Perfect she would do it.

"Harry, this is really important. Do you think you could meet me at the Three Broomsticks today around midday?" I asked hurriedly stuffing the letter into my bag.

"Sure but why?" He started but I cut him off.

"I don't have time to tell you I have to go answer this letter now." I ran out of the great hall shoving a strip of bacon into my mouth before I left the room. My handwriting was shaky at best and I sent the letter off saying we were a go for news story at noon.

I found Luna eating porridge at the Ravenclaw table and told her that it was a go. She nodded absently and walked with me to Hogsmeade.

"So how are you and Ron doing?" I asked looking over to the quidditch pitch where seven broomsticks were flying around.

"We're doing good. I like spending time with him he brings me down to earth." I nodded and smiled at her.

"I'm glad Luna." I said wrapping my arm around her shoulder.

"I think we're good for each other you know? He keeps me grounded and I in turn temper his anger."

"That is a good thing." I muttered nodding.

"What about you? Who are you dating?" She asked looking pointedly at my necklace.

I was about to answer when a snotty voice said behind me. "Who would go out with her?" I turned and frowned Pansy and Draco were holding hands behind us.

"Yeah really who would go out with that long-molared mudblood?" he asked scathingly.

I smiled at the man coming out of the Three Broomsticks and waved. "Hi professor Moody."

Draco jumped and quickly turned and walked in the other direction. I snickered and went up to Moody.

"Hey girly." He said in his gruff voice and slipped me a piece of paper before heading to the Hog's Head.

I quickly opened it. It only said three words but it was in Sirius' writing. Be safe Baby.

"Is that from him?" Luna asked vaguely. I nodded and she smiled at me. "I hope you two will be happy."

We went into the Three Broomsticks and got a table. Madame Rosmerta came over and I ordered a butterbeer while Luna ordered a gillywater with a pearl onion. Rita walked in a moment later looking like a car ran here over. Unemployment did not suit her.

"Rita over here," I said waving at her. She glared at me and sat across from me.

"Hello little Miss Perfect so why is it you wanted me here so badly?" She asked crossly ordering a large Firewhisky from Madame Rosmerta when she placed our drinks on the table.

"Well I wanted to -" the front door opened and Harry walked in a strange look in his eyes. "Harry over here!" I called to him. He took one look at Rita and Luna and his mouth opened in shock.

"What is Rita doing here?" He asked shocked sitting next to me.

"She is going to write the truth about everything that has happened ever since the final task."

"No one will print it," Rita said taking a large sip of her Firewhisky.

"Luna's dad runs the Quibbler and he has agreed to print it." I said taking a small drink of my butterbeer.

"People won't take Harry seriously if he's published in the Quibbler." Rita said cackling.

"Some people won't. But the daily prophet is starting to have gaping holes in it ever since the breakout from Azkaban. I think it will help if there's an alternative story out there in circulation even if it is published in an unusual magazine."

"Let's say for a moment I'll do it what kind of fee am I going to get?" Rita asked after a moment.

"I don't think Daddy exactly pays people to write for the magazine. They do it because it's an honor and of course to see their names in print." Luna started humming and it sounded suspiciously like Weasley is our King.

"I'm supposed to do this for free?" She asked bewildered.

"Yes. Otherwise you will get a rather inside look at Azkaban when I inform the authorities that you are and unregistered Animagus." Rita glared at me her nostrils flaring.

"I don't suppose I have a choice then do I." She said scathingly pulling out her Quick-Quotes-Quill and a piece of parchment.

"Daddy will be pleased." Luna was smiling brightly and Rita's eye twitched.

"Okay Harry ready to tell the public the truth?" I asked. He looked dazed and nodded.

"Fire away then Rita." I said fishing out the cherry from the bottom of my glass and then popped it into my mouth.

AN: Keep Reviewing!
