(Master to Kitten, Kitten to Master)

'Thoughts'

[Kitten speech]

Outraged!

(With Voldemort)

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Voldemort screamed.

All but one of his horcruxes had been found and destroyed. The only one left was Nigini. He kept her wrapped around him all the time. He wasn't going to let her out of his sight. He blamed Potter despite the fact he had no part of it. It was in fact the unspeakables and the aurors that were finding and destroying them.

"M-master?" One death eater looked at him.

"WHAT?!" He glared at him.

"T-the reporter i-i-is here." He stuttered out.

"Good. Bring her in." He said.

"Yes sir." He bowed and left.

A terrified Skeeter was dragged into the room. She spotted Voldemort and nearly passed out in fear. He gave her the most terrifying smirk he could muster. It worked to make her whimper in fear. He then spoke to her.

"Rita Skeeter I have an interesting deal for you." He said.

"M-me?" She didn't seem pleased by that.

"Yes you. I can give you information on Potter but you cannot write about me. If you reveal me being back I will make you regret it." He warned her.

"Y-yes s-sir." She stuttered.

"Wonderful. Harry Potter is alive and he is a neko. Give her the picture." He ordered.

"Yes master." The death eater did as ordered.

"Oh my." She smirked at that.

"He goes to Pharaoh's Academy for Magical, Mythical, Mystical Creatures of Magic in Egypt." He revealed. "Neville Longbottom is with him. He's a fairy though."

"I see. Anything else?" She asked.

"He has a mate, an adult mate." He said.

"What? Ew!" She wrinkled her nose in disgust.

"Indeed. Now go write a story that will piss off the masses." He said.

"I will." She smirked.

Skeeter left and Voldemort gave a bone chilling laugh. The wizarding world would be so pissed off that they will want the ministry to investigate Potter and be off his case. It was brilliant. With that plan in place he began plotting his next move.

(Ministry of Magic: Alastor Moody's Office)

Moody was drinking his morning coffee and going through reports. They were trying to find Voldemort's location. The minister's spy couldn't reveal it due to him being under vows to keep him quiet. Soon an owl swooped in and handed him the paper. He paid the owl and opened the Daily Prophet. He spit his coffee out when he saw the front page headline.

Harry Potter is Alive, a Neko, and Has a Mate!

By Rita Skeeter

"Fuck!" He cursed.

Moody picked up the mirror phone. He quickly called the minister. The man answered and judging by how pale the man was he had already seen the paper.

"How? How did she get this information?" Fudge asked.

"I have no idea. I will have her brought in to find out." He promised.

"Good. I shall contact his guardian, Lady Longbottom, and the French ministry." He said.

"Good luck." He said.

"Thank you. I am going to need it. Good luck to you as well." He said.

"Thank you." He said before the call ended.

Moody and a junior auror went to the paper. There Rita was being scolded by the editor. She was trying to explain to Rita what she did was wrong and how she not only risked her career but also the paper. The blonde woman was waving her off.

"Rita Skeeter you are under arrest for-" She cut Moody off.

"You can't arrest me!" She sneered at him.

"You will find that I can. You wrote about a minor, especially an heir, without the consent of his guardian. That is illegal." He told her.

"How do you know I don't have consent?" She asked.

"Because his guardian has already informed the minister to keep Heir Potter's name out of the paper. He was allowed to be mentioned for Dumbledore's trial but that is it." He told her.

"O-oh." Now she was pale. 'I never imagined she was in contact with the Minister.'

"Now place your hands behind your back." He ordered.

"No. I will not comply." She said, "I did nothing wrong." She wasn't about to be arrested for this.

"You did. Please do not resist arrest. That will just give you another charge." He told her.

"No. I had permission." Rita said.

"We all know you did not. Now don't make this any harder. Hands behind your back." He said.

"I do not comply." She hissed.

"That is not how this works." He said.

"I do not comply so you can't arrest me." She said.

"That is not how that works." He sighed. "If it was then criminals would never get arrested. Now I won't repeat myself. Hands behind your back."

"No." Rita said.

"Fine." He stunned her and placed the cuffs on her.

"You can't do this!" She screamed when the stunner was removed.

"Yes I can. Let's go." He said.

"AHHHHHHH!" She began screaming.

"Silencio." The junior auror quickly casted.

"Thank you." The editor said, "She brought this article to me yesterday and I told her it couldn't go out. I needed heir Potter's guardian to come in and sign consent. This morning I saw the article on the front page. She snuck in and had it printed anyway. I tried to fire her but she refused. Told me the same thing she told you. She didn't comply." She rolled her eyes.

"That's now how that works." The junior auror said.

"That is exactly what I told her but she refused to listen and instead started to argue with me. She told me that as their savior everyone had a right to know." She told them.

"Well she is about to regret believing that." Moody said.

"I hope so." She huffed. "I have an apology to write and print out."

"Send a paper to me and I will make sure his guardian receives it." He said.

"Thank you." She said.

"You're welcome. I'm just glad that I don't have to arrest you as well." He said.

Moody wasn't kidding. He had been prepared to arrest her as well. If she had allowed that article to be printed then she too would have broken the law. Luckily for her, she hadn't. Rita wasn't so lucky.

"So am I." She said, already knowing how lucky she was.

"As much as I hate Rita, she shouldn't be arrested. We have a right to know our savior is alive, a freak, and being abused." Moody heard one woman whisper.

"Yeah. How did he become a freak?" Another asked.

"Can you believe his guardian is allowing him to be abused?"

"Of course the government is covering it up." One sneered.

"Heir Potter isn't a freak." The junior auror said, making the gossipers jump.

"He certainly isn't being abused. His mate is an adult but right now they are just friends." Moody said.

"No one is covering that up. We aren't bothering them since nothing is illegal. Nothing to cover up. Did you ever consider the fact that this woman wrote lies for this kind of reaction?" He asked them.

"I-" No one knew what to say.

"Exactly. Now I never met Heir Potter. I have no idea if he is a neko or not. If he is well he is heavily protected. If he were in Egypt he would be worshiped due to being part feline. Egyptians worshiped cats. If he isn't a neko then you are all believing lies. Have any of you actually met the young heir?" He asked them.

"..." Yes again no one spoke.

"That's what I thought." He scoffed.

"Now if you will excuse us we must be leaving." Moody said, impressed with the other auror.

The trio left and were met with a crowd of angry witches and wizards. They were demanding they let Rita go as well as demanding to know where Potter was. Moody sent word for back up. He then glared at the crowd.

"We will not be releasing Miss Skeeter. If she wrote about your kids you would be demanding us to arrest her. She didn't have permission from HEIR Potter's guardian. She also never actually talked to HEIR Potter." He told them.

"But-" One tried to speak up but was stopped by the junior auror.

"If you actually know HEIR Potter, please raise your hand." He said, and no one did. "Exactly. Now raise your hand if this woman ever wrote an article about you that was full of lies." This time many raised their hands.

"So why do you believe her lies now?" Moody asked.

"..." The silence was an answer in itself.

"Exactly." The junior auror said.

"What if this time she wrote the truth?!" One demanded.

"She still broke the law. If she was so worried about HEIR Potter then she would have come to us. No, she wrote this article for the views." Moody said.

"How do you know she didn't have permission?" Another asked.

"Because his guardian contacted me and is very pissed off." The minister said, arriving on the scene.

"She is allowing Potter to be abused!"

"How do we know he isn't being raped?"

"Why did he keep himself hidden after Dumbledore was kissed?"

"Why did he never show up at Hogwarts after Dumbledore was gone?"

"Why weren't we informed he was still alive?!"

"ENOUGH!" The minister yelled.

"..." They stared in shock.

"HEIR Potter is not being abused anymore. His guardian sent me his medical records when we learned he was alive. I was also able to investigate thanks to their permission. Those records also show he isn't being raped. As for why he has stayed hidden, my guess is to avoid things like this. He also didn't go to Hogwarts because he was enrolled in another school and stayed there." He told them.

While the crowd was distracted Moody and the junior auror took Rita away. The minister shut the crowd down and had them disperse. He wasn't pleased. He soon arrived at the ministry. He found Moody.

"Where is she?" He asked.

"Interrogation room 5." He answered.

"Has she said anything yet?" He asked.

"Only that she is innocent. She said she had permission and the right to inform the public." He answered.

"Of course." He sighed.

Before more could be said the junior auror ran to them. He was very pale. Both were immediately concerned. He stopped in front of them and told them something that completely shocked them.

"Rita Skeeter is dead!" He whispered/shouted.
