A.N. — Today's drabble coincides with canon's timeline again. This unfortunately-named member of the press that was there doesn't have the necessary credentials, apparently, to merit inclusion in ff.n's character list. As a fellow journalist, I'm miffed. He's appeared in two books and movies but gets the short shrift.

317. Bozo

Rita Skeeter wasn't his (or anyone else's) preferred reporter to work with. But she got Bozo through the wards at Hogwarts, so he guessed she had her uses.

Camera slung over his shoulder and press badge pinned to his hat, Bozo wouldn't let this opportunity slide.

It was just the wand weighing ceremony, but it was the public's first chance to see the Triwizard champions. Bozo could provide them exclusive visuals to go with the hearsay flying about since Halloween. Putting up with a reporter whose quill (and clothes) dripped acid was a paltry price to pay for this scoop.
