(OC) Chiaki Chang

Rita was sneaking around the school grounds of Hogwarts, trying to find some gossiping students and use any idea for a potential story to put in the Daily Prophet. Thinking some of the students were in the woods, Rita tiptoed her way through to continue her search. Moments later, Rita found herself within some clearing. Upon looking out, she saw that she was on some kind of cliff that had a great view of the castle (which looked like a miniature toy version from where she was). Then the egomaniacal journalist spotted her favourite celebrity, Harry Potter, and he was chatting with a familiar-looking asian girl. Rita tiptoed closer to Harry and the girl, but then stepped on a twig and caused it to snap in two. Harry and the girl quickly turned around and glared at the truth-rejecting journalist.

"Well, well," Harry responded in an irritable voice. "If it isn't Skeeter, the woman who clouds the truth with total fibs."

"I have fans, Harry," said Rita in mock sympathy. "They want good stories and I must provide as much of them as possible to keep the ratings up."

"Only selfish reporters such as yourself will do crazy shit like that!" growled the asian girl, folding her arms across her chest and glaring at the journalist.

"Let's not be irrational, Cho." Rita chastised.

"So you think I'm Cho just because I'm asian?!" the girl snapped at the egotistical reporter. "I'm her sister, Chiaki, a third year Ravenclaw."

"There was nothing I found out from sources that even suggested that you and Harry met." Rita sneered.

"That's because only a select few who earned the right know ever found out," Chiaki retorted. "It started after Harry tried asking my sister to be his date for the Yule Ball, but she had to decline it because she already accepted Cedric's invitation. So Cho made it up to Harry by asking him to accompany her and Cedric to Hogsmeade one weekend, but Cho also asked me to tag along without Harry's knowledge."

"Which turned out to be a wonderful decision," Harry revealed. "A coincidence. During the days preceding the Yule Ball, I would secretly meet up with Cedric, Cho and Chiaki to practice the Champions' dance. On the night of the Yule Ball when the champions and their dates arrived in the Great Hall, everybodys' reactions were priceless because many believed that Cho was going to be my date."

"What did Granger do when she found out?" asked Rita.

"She approved of it," stated Chiaki. "After all, she was Viktor's date for the ball. You also knew about that because of the slandering article about her supposedly being in a love triangle you wrote. It's more than enough to realize that you've been snooping around the school grounds despite being banned."

"How can that be?" asked Rita, feeling offended.

"Maybe because you're a beetle animagus," said Harry matter-of-factly. "Hermione had a beetle in her hair and that next morning, that slandering article written by you ended up in the Daily Prophet."

"Yeah!" Chiaki snapped at the journalist. "It doesn't take a genius to put two-and-two together."

"I even spotted Malfoy speaking lies to that same beetle," Harry revealed to Rita. "That's solid evidence that you're an animagus."

"You're not even a registered animagus, Skeeter," Chiaki informed her in a delightful voice. "You're forgetting something there. My mum, Chuya, works for the ministry. A few occasions she even brought me and Cho to work for those bring-your-children-to-work days. I even took a peek at the list of registered animagi on one of those occasions and not once did I see your name on the list. True, I was only a child and just looked at it because of innocent fascination. But I'm glad I looked at it because now I realize that you never registered."

"I could… could've registered recently!" Rita stammered.

"Look me in the eye and tell me the same thing." said Chiaki firmly.

"I c-can't… do… do th-that!" Rita stammered again in fear.

"That means you lied to me," snapped Chiaki. "You also revealed yourself to be a terrible liar at the same time. But I still would've figured it out, since Ravenclaw students are known for being intelligent with a passion for knowledge."

"Now's the time for you to get your just desserts." Harry told the journalist, with a smirk on his face.

He whipped his wand out and conjured up some magic suppression rope and tied Rita's wrists with it. Then Chiaki whipped her wand out and cast the levitation charm on the rope and moved it over the cliff (making sure the journalist was higher than the barred fence placed to prevent anybody from accidentally falling off). Rita looked down at the ground below, from three-hundred feet up. The crazy journalist felt nauseated to stare down at the ground from such a high distance.

"Woah, woah, waaahhhhhhhh!" Rita cried out in fear. "I'm too high, please put me back on safe ground!"

"Ooh, you must have a fear of heights, also known as Acrophobia," said Harry with delight. "Quite fitting, too! Since you've been one of those mindless idiots who kept pushing me into the spotlight despite my hatred for it and being uncomfortable, Chiaki and I will be leaving you dangling over the cliff from three-hundred feet to see how you like being put in a situation you hate."

Chiaki began making the rope shake as if to make Rita think it was about to snap, which frightened her more and amused Harry and Chiaki. Then Harry cast some charms to tie the other ends of the rope around Rita's ankles, with Chiaki flipping the journalist over to make her dangle upside down. Rita was even more scared and felt the vertigo effect when she looked down at the ground once more. After five minutes of making Rita look at the ground while upside down, Chiaki levitated Rita back over to safe ground and Harry cast a spell to make Rita transform unwillingly back into her beetle form. Then Harry's owl, Hedwig spotted the beetle and began flying after the journalist. Rita tried to outfly Hedwig, but inevitably the snowy owl managed to snap Rita up in her beak and eat her up. After eating her little snack, Hedwig flew back down to where Harry and Chiaki were waiting and perched herself onto a tree branch.

"Great job, girl," Harry praised his owl, stroking her feathers affectionately. "That beetle got what she deserved."

"Brilliant job, Hedwig!" Chiaki praised the snowy owl, also stroking the feathers with affection.

Then Hedwig nibbled both teens on their ears affectionately before taking off into the skies again. Harry and Chiaki kept watch over Hedwig until they couldn't see her anymore. Then they looked each other in the eyes and smiled.

"What shall we do to celebrate Skeeter's permanent downfall, my lovely Chiaki?" asked Harry.

"Maybe a nice soak in a hot tub for our alone time, my sweet Harry," suggested Chiaki. "It'll get us away from idiots like Malfoy and his kind."

Then the two began walking back to the castle while holding hands. Now that Rita was gone for good, it gave the Daily Prophet a chance to get it's reputation repaired. Things were finally looking up.

The End!
