The next morning, Hermione went down to the Ministry of Magic to look for Rita Skeeter. She bumped into Fudge along the way.
"Excuse me, Minister, but do you know where Rita Skeeter is?" asked Hermione.
"She's...er... right there," Fudge nodded, looking at Rita, who had just came in. She looked at Hermione and turned around. Hermione grabbed her arms and dragged her into the broom closet.
"I thought I told you no more crap about Harry," said Hermione.
"You remembered that?" asked Rita.
"Of course I remembered that," said Hermione.
"Well, whatever," she made for the door, but Hermione stopped her.
"Well, guess what. Everything Harry said a couple years about Voldemort was true. So, this won't work. Not this time," said Hermione.
"You saw him kill Voldemort! You were there!" said Rita.
"There is a potion called the Bolyjuice Potion," said Hermione.
"And...?" asked Rita.
"It works the same way the Polyjuice Potion, but with one little difference," said Hermione.
"And that is?" asked Rita.
"You're that person for a week. It's a newer potion," said Hermione.
"So, that's what happened that night it is?" asked Rita in a disbelieving voice.
"Yes, I think that's exactly what happened," said Hermione. "The maker of the potion in unknown because I think Voldemort didn't want his name everywhere because then everyone would know what happened."
"Too bad you have no facts to prove your theory," smirked Rita.
"I won't need them when Voldemort comes back," said Hermione.
"You don't even know if Voldemort did make the potion," said Rita.
"It makes perfect sense," said Hermione.
"There's just one hole in your story," said Rita. "Where did you find the potion at?"
Hermione pulled out a book from her bag. "This is a new Dark Arts book, Draco Malfoy gave this to me this morning." She opened it to a page that was bookmarked. "This is kind of a new potion. It's the same thing as the Polyjuice Potion, but everything is doubled. To make it stronger."
Rita grabbed the book away from her and scanned the potion. "If there's no known maker, then how do you know Voldemort made it or not?"
Hermione gave an impatient sigh. "Haven't you been listening? It turns you into another person for a week! Now, you're coming with me to the Minister."
"Why?" asked Rita.
"Because you printed lies about Harry again," said Hermione.
"Sorry to say, Miss Perfect, but our one year agreement is long over," said Rita.
Hermione gaped at her. "W-what?"
Rita smirked. "It was only for one year."
"Well, I don't care, you're still coming with me," said Hermione.
"I'm not," Rita transformed into a beetle. Exactly what Hermione was waiting for. She picked up a jar she had out there with an Unbreakable Charm on it earlier. She caught Rita and closed the lid. She smiled at the angry buzzing beetle.
Hermione walked to the Minister's office and knocked. "Come in."
"Minister? I have something you'll want to see," said Hermione as she walked in.
"Yes?" Fudge asked looking up from his papers.
"This is Rita Skeeter," Hermione held the jar up.
"Rita Skeeter?" He got up and walked over to her. He took off the lid. The beetle flew out. He took out his wand and muttered a spell. The beetle became Rita Skeeter. "Well, what do you have to say?"
"I was coming to get registered today," said Rita.
"Well, thank you Miss Granger. I'll take it from here," said Fudge.
"Your welcome Minister," Hermione smiled at Rita and walked out of his office.
