queen of the quill

Rita Skeeter Seventeen | Slytherin

"I once accidentally hit him with a paddle—we were struggling with the boat and well, I nicked him. By just a little. He was enraged. I stay clear of that lake, I mean sure—I walk the edge and what not.. skip a few stones to kill time but I am not swimming in it. I don’t have a death sentence!”

[ritaskeeters-blog]

"Well we can't have you dying so soon in your life. Though the obituary would make you sound like the most exciting bloke— Cause of Death: Fighting off a vengeful giant squid. How about you hang around the shore, skip some stones, and try to enjoy yourself— yeah?"

"Brilliant! I’m surprised we didn’t think of it before. If we’re cops, do we get code names?"

[ritaskeeters-blog]

"Of course! Can mine be 'The Howler'? Or 'Dragon Slayer'? You can be... 'Pygmy Puff'!"

[wolfyval-deactivated20160227]

"Well… That is just disturbing now! Why did you get that thought into my head?"

[ritaskeeters-blog]

"You brought it up! Unfortunately now we will both have to live with those horrible images for the rest of our lives."

———— “Permission? Prey? I’m not some sort of… You really don’t understand Rita, do you? This is my life you fucked with here. I’m not some pureblood queen like you and with the attacks… The more people know my name, the more likely one of them is to decide to pick me as a target, and even if that weren’t true, I’m not trying to reel anyone in. I’m not a predator!” 

[ritaskeeters-blog]

"I don't recall forcing you to sleep with anybody — or bodies I should say. If anything, the school knowing you can be a slag might save you from being attacked. They tend to go for the innocent ones. And are you sure about that?"

[decoruspopulus]

"But it’s freezing?"

[ritaskeeters-blog]

"I always do my research. Weather's calling for a particularly warmer night. Plus, you can practice holding your warming charm — it's educational and fun."

[camp-olympus--rp]

Giving a small nod, and a laugh, Lucille picked up her pace. “I don’t want to think about mothers- just drinks.” She told her smiling. “I don’t know- do you have anything interesting on anyone I would care to hear about?”

[ritaskeeters-blog]

"Who do you care about? I surprised you give a damn about any of the lesser peoples of the school."

[silasxgray-blog]

"You do know who you’re talking to, right?"

[ritaskeeters-blog]

"I know everyone. What, you can't crawl out of your hermit hole for one evening?"

[pxdfooting-deactivated20150211]

"A swim… in January?  I knew you  were mad, Skeeter, but I didn’t peg you as suicidal.” 

[ritaskeeters-blog]

"Maybe you don't know me as well as you think, Black. And no one said you had to jump in — though it would be funny to see you paddling about like a wet dog."

[frank-themeticulous-blog]

"No, I’m just allergic to any possibility of being devoured by the giant squid. He and I are not on pleasant terms!"

[ritaskeeters-blog]

"From my encounters, the squid has been nothing but nice— though a bit grabby. What ever did you do to it?"

[zwarteherfst-deactivated2015013]

◭ ❝Although I do not agree on the ‘awful’ part of your sentence, could this mean that I’m being offered a chance to have a quick glimpse to your Bristol bits? Blimey! I would even risk myself to freeze in this weather for that. ❞ ◮

[ritaskeeters-blog]

"It's meant to be persuasive, not heartfelt. And, well if you put it like that—"

Rita stopped as quickly as she had begun, smirking at the boy. "As much as I admire your dedication, I can't make any promises of what will happen tonight."

[frank-themeticulous-blog]

"As appealing as that sounds, I think I’m going to pass—"

[ritaskeeters-blog]

"And why is that? Got better plans? Allergic to fun, Longbottom?"

"Yeah, good plan. It’s a good balance already; why mess with it? What’s the muggle saying? ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’?"

[ritaskeeters-blog]

"— our system is flawless. It's like... what is it? Ah- good cop, bad cop!"

[exmeline-blog]

“Sorry, I’m not to keen on taking a dip with people who ruin my life. Odd, I know but everyone does have their quirks.”

[ritaskeeters-blog]

"Darling, if you didn't want it to get around — maybe you shouldn't have getting around. I did you a favor. Now you won't have to work as hard to reel the blokes in. In fact, I give you permission to prey on whoever you want — as many as you want — tonight."

[ritaskeeters-blog]

"What better way to bond over our awful grief from these terrible events, then a swim in the lake? After curfew, of course. Feel free to come tonight — it's an open invitation."

[wolfyval-deactivated20160227]

"In my opinion              it’s just stupid. If Dumbledore actually thinks that all of this is going to make Hogwarts safer somehow, he is wrong. How does he even know a thing? He’s just a crazy old man with very weird obsessions.”

[wolfyval-deactivated20160227]

[ritaskeeters-blog]

"My, oh my. You are making poor Dumbledore sound like he has an awful fetish. Not something I'd like to think about."

[camp-olympus--rp]

"Is a little hazing so wrong?" Lucille asked dramatically. "A habit I must have picked up, I guess you can blame my mother for that." She snorted, as she began to straighten her clothes from the first year who ran into her. "Hogsmeade will do- I have a few things I need to pick up anyways. How have you been, Rita? And scandalous stories?"

[ritaskeeters-blog]

"Mothers do tend to take responsibility for our behavior," Rita acknowledged a tad bitterly. Bouncing back with a smile she gestured onward, "Let's escape then. You can run your errands after we have some fun. I've been fabulous —— as always. Any scandal you're referring to in particular?"
