i liked the chapter quite a bit.
love what you did to skeeter. smirk, i wonder if hermoine knew about her.
i wonder, perhaps a variation on the marauders map? a piece of paper that is centered on its own physical location, and shows teh location of people. rita ought to show up on something like that. even if it cant get through the most basic of wards on a wizarding building, and has little range, it would definitly be useful if you are looking out for someone like rita skeeter if its only looking at close range line of sight.
anyway, looking forward to seeing the next chapter soon.
