Hadrian's POV
Lily decided to make lunch today.
She was also a very good chef. The food tasted excellent.
Teddy decided that he wanted to sit on my lap all
lunchtime and stole from my plate. Fred and George were sitting on either side
of me and were feeding Teddy in turns while I was eating.
After lunch, when all of us gathered at the lounge, Draco
flooed in.
"The people are talking about your divorce,
Hadrian." Draco said.
"Was it Skeeter?" I asked.
Draco nodded.
"Anything bad?" I asked.
"She wrote that you left a beautiful wife like Ginevra
to be with someone. She said that you were not loyal." Draco said with a
sigh as he sat beside dad.
"Do you have the article?" I asked.
He nodded and gave the paper.
Before I could take it, Fred snatched it from Draco.
After he finished reading, he gave the paper George. When
he was done, he passed it to Dad.
Dad gave the paper back to Draco.
"Should I not read it?" I asked.
"No." Dad said. His voice was monotonous. He
was really angry. Tom was cautious after looking at Dad.
When I looked at my twins, they were looking feral.
"Is it that bad?" I asked.
"Hades, do you have any dirt on Skeeter?"
My twins asked.
"She is an unregistered animagus. She hasn't
registered yet." I said.
"Why didn't anyone in the Hogwarts staff know about
this?" Dad asked.
"She was careful not to be seen by anyone of
you." I said.
"How did you know?" Tom asked.
"Hermione. When Skeeter published an article about
Hermione and me, she went down to Hogsmeade to find out how she does it. That
was when she knew Skeeter was an animagus." I said. "She must have
done it because her name was going down the mud too. She never responded like
that when it was just me."
That was when I felt another magical signature enter the
wards.
I smiled and gave Teddy to Fred and got up.
When I walked to the backyard, I found Skeeter lying on
the ground.
Dad, my twins, and Draco followed me. James, Lily,
Sirius, Remus, Regulus, and Tom glamoured themselves and followed me.
"How nice of you to join us, Rita?" I said in a
sweet tone.
"Forgive me, Harry." She begged.
"There is no forgiving after the warnings I gave you
last year, Rita. I told you that if you were to write another wrong article
about me, you were going down." I said.
She was still in shock to be caught and was mumbling
about her being caught and saying sorry.
"After that stunt you pulled last year, I warded the
entire house to let any Animagus enter, but unwanted ones and uninvited ones
will be stuck to ground, just like you are now." I said as I levitated her
into the house.
When we reached the lounge, I smiled when Kreacher had
already put a chair. I put Rita on it and tied her to the chair.
"Who asked you to write that article about me?"
I asked.
"No one." She replied.
"Rita, I am going to ask nicely one more time. Who
asked you to write the article on me?" I asked.
"No one. I wanted news that could spread like wildfire
when released, and your divorce was that news." She said.
"You could have just written that he
divorced Ginevra. Why make it seem like he was unfaithful?" George
asked.
"Only divorce will not spread. If something else is
added, it might." She said.
"So, you chose to write that Hades was unfaithful
in the marriage?" Fred asked.
"Did you not think for once that it was her who was
not being faithful?" I asked.
My twins, dad, Draco, Tom, James, Lily, Remus, Sirius,
and Regulus looked at me shocked, and so did Skeeter.
"When I got the purge, the blocked memories had come
back. Whenever I found her cheating, Ron, Hermione, Ginevra, and Molly would
erase my memories. This was there in the reasons for divorce, I just haven't
said it out loud." I said.
Fred gave Teddy to me and hugged me. George hugged me as
well.
"With whom did she cheat on you?" Dad asked.
"A few students from her year, mostly Gryffindors, a
few Hufflepuffs and Dean Thomas. He even tried to mock me while they were
erasing my memories." I said.
