Rita Skeeter had a nose for news - scandal and gossip carried a luscious aroma that left her weak-kneed at her desk, emerald quill quivering.

She’d written mawkish articles praising Harry Potter after Voldemort’s defeat, with curt acknowledgement of the spy Snape squeezed onto the last page. After all, she wrote what the public wanted to read.

Her nose reawakened to the smell of scandal at the announcement of a private wedding between the two wizards. Was Potter ashamed of his illicit liaison with the Death Eater? Had Snape corrupted their bright hero? Nose twitching, knees weak, Rita began to write.
