"Mr. Potter, an interview, if you please?" asked Rita Skeeter for the one-hundredth time since Harry's name came out of the Goblet of Fire. Harry and Hermione were just coming back from Care of Magical Creature when they were interrupted yet again by the crazy journalist.
"Not interested." repeated Harry, almost physically dragging Hermione with him.
"Why not Mr. Potter? The readers want to know your opinion!"
"FINE!" snapped Harry. "Lead the way."
A smug looking Rita turned around and started walking back toward the castle.
"Harry?" whispered Hermione. She had been surprised that Harry had finally accepted the interview.
Harry winked at her before discretely drawing his wand. "Stupefy!"
In an instant, Rita collapsed on the ground, stunned.
Hermione froze. "Harry! Why did you do that?"
Harry smiled at her. "So that she'll get the message." he said. Harry sent a few other spells at Rita before levitating her.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
She saw Harry point his wand toward the gates that led to Hogsmeade and, suddenly, Hermione felt a great deal of magic flow around Harry.
"Harry, what are you..."
BANG!
As fast as a bullet, Rita Skeeter was propelled into the air and toward Hogsmeade. It barely took a few seconds before Rita dissapeared behind the tree-line.
"WHAT THE HELL!?" she yelled at Harry.
Harry looked at her incredulously. "She's going to be fine." he said. At the sceptic and angry look Hermione sent him, he added "I spelled her. She won't get hurt at the landing."
"Why did you do that for!?"
Harry shrugged. "She was annoying."
A/N: Just like the Gravity Gun in Half-Life 2!
