I'm back! And I offer three drabbles ... one for each of the last three prompts.
The people will love this! They'll lap it up! Rita Skeeter hummed merrily to herself. She was preparing her story for the morning's "The People Want to Know" article.
Spring Has Sprung for Saviour
Rumour has it that none other than Harry Potter, Saviour of the Wizarding World, and Most Sought-After Single Man, was seen at Edinburgh's Beltane Festival with none other than Draco Malfoy, son of confirmed Death Eater Lucius Malfoy.
Fret not, readers, for Rita Skeeter is on the case! I will get to the bottom of these rumours, and will be reporting back on this alleged romance.
Rita Skeeter looked at her article, very pleased with herself. If they won't give her a story, she'll just give them one!
Draco Malfoy is a Veela!
It has come to this reporter's attention that something is just not right! Of course, we all wondered when the story broke (see my article, last week) about Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy just WHAT our hero was thinking! Well, new evidence comes to light, and clearly thinking is not what he's doing.
Rita Skeeter will continue to investigate. Meanwhile, perhaps someone can free our hero from the clutches of a certain Veela.
Draco was seething! Harry hadn't seen him this angry since ... well, he hadn't ever seen him like this.
"How dare she!" he said as he threw the article down on the table and began pacing the room, arms flailing. "It's bad enough when she digs up dirt and prints it, but this ... THIS ... is rubbish!"
Harry chortled as he watched Draco.
"This is no laughing matter, Potter!"
"Why? Because it's you?"
"Because it's lies!"
"Unlike the truths you gave her back in fourth year?"
Draco just glared. Harry knew he'd pay later, but this was worth it.
