“Oh, Merlin, tell me, does THE GOSSIP get what she deserves?” She is NEUTRAL & OPEN to finding out.“

— she walks through the world as ;

name → rita skeeter pronouns → she/her identification → cis-female year of birth → september 1955 - september 1956 face claim → chloe bridges blood status → half-blood sexual orientation → bisexual occupation → columnist for society and scandals at the daily prophet future information → court reporter during the death eater trials, renown published author of multiple biographies including albus dumbledore, newt scamander, severus snape and harry potter

— she is best described as ;

The scent of INK & FRESH PARCHMENT spritzed with FRENCH PERFUME. She’s as DELICATE as the FEATHER of a QUILL and as SHARP as the nib at the end. Her words CUT, SHARP and QUICK, leaving your REPUTATION in RIBBONS with just a flick of her ELEGANT WRIST.

— her story starts with ;

tw: death

One of the most famous names in wizarding press, Rita Skeeter is the sharpest tongue in London no one wants to be cut by, although she can be a brilliant friend to you… for the right price. Rita came from good stock, with a father who was head of Public Information Services for the Ministry and a mother who was a top stylist for Witch Weekly. She was raised in a privileged household, watching from the bannister as her parents hosted beautiful parties in their obscenely tall townhouse. From an early age Rita longed for a life just like theirs, filled with beauty, travel, notoriety and respect. It fuelled her from the minute she woke up to the moment she rested her head. With her father constantly at work or away on business trips, and her mother consumed by her small social circle of gossips, Rita’s childhood soon became lonely. She spent most days by herself, exploring her parents personal library of articles and pouring over The Daily Prophet each day as it arrived, and her mother’s Witch Weekly on Sundays. Rita knew what her calling in life was. She was to be a journalist. The most famous journalist in the wizarding world of her generation. 

Rita learned that if she hovered in the shadows while her parents chatted away, she’d learn about many secrets and rumours, a technique she would perfect whilst away at school. By the time Rita had received her letter to Hogwarts she had already read biographies or articles of most of the professors and had researched as much as she could about the school, in order to ensure where she stood with faculty. She saw Hogwarts as an opportunity to finally practise her journalism skills on stories that slipped from the mouths of the students. Rita was sorted into Ravenclaw instantly, without hesitation, she began to sort through her fellow Ravenclaw students, unafraid of hurting feelings or causing disgruntlement as she searched for friends she deemed tasteful. EMMA SQUIGGLE [rival/former best friend/colleague] and ADRIAN CAVERLY [best friend/colleague] quickly became her closest friends, whilst DAISY HOOKUM [close friend/colleague], GILDEROY LOCKHART [colleauge/close friend] and XENOPHILLIUS LOVEGOOD [friend] quickly became good friends she enjoyed chatting news stories with. In her fourth year, Rita began The Hogwarts Gazette, under the careful gaze of Professor McGonagall, hiring herself as the newspaper's editor. 

The paper published a variety of articles focusing on school political issues, sports coverage, a gossip column and a fashion section. With a knack for finding things out and a clever way of spinning a tale, Rita ran the gossip column and had developed quite the habit of uncovering other’s dirty laundry and leaving it to dry for everyone to see. This, of course, did not sit well with everyone and Rita gained a negative reputation amongst her fellow students as someone to be wary of. The boys in her year group, HARRISON BAGNOLD [acquaintance/person of interest], KALEB JOHNSON [acquaintance], ELEZAR SMITH [acquaintance/person of interest], MICHAEL THOMAS [acquaintance] and CRISTIANO PARKINSON [acquaintance] were not her biggest fans, whilst younger students PETER PETTIGREW [person of interest], JAMES POTTER [person of interest], REMUS LUPIN [person of interest] and SIRIUS BLACK [person of interest] also found her constant prying into their personal lives just as invasive. Other people saw the light and wanted her on side.

Rita found she enjoyed the power of being feared and appeased by the likes of ANDRESSA PARKINSON [friend], ISOLDE CROUCH [friend], LUCILLE JONES [friend], FLORENCE JONES [friend] and BERTHA JORKINS [close friend]. By her seventh year, she was able to transform into a beetle and with this, was able to listen into many more conversations. She also learned that with a seductive smile and a wink here and there she could get anyone to tell her just about anything. Thanks to her continuous summer internships at Witch Weekly, through her mother’s connections and a good word here and there from her father, Rita eventually landed a job at The Daily Prophet as an intern. Peeking through her father’s files and transforming herself into a beatle to access events, meant that she began to get one scoop after the other. It was a lot of hard work, long hours and the lack of a social life but eventually Rita was awarded her own column and Rita Skeeter’s Scandal Sheets was born. At just twenty-five she was something of a prodigy, a major celebrity everyone loved and feared. 

Having similar interests, most of Rita’s friends at the paper also established themselves at The Daily Prophet, becoming fantastic journalists and photographers in their own right. But not everyone was happy about her success. Emma had been like a sister to Rita, her best friend- she trusted her with everything. With an absent family at home, Emma was her family, which made their falling out all the more harder. As Rita rose to fame, she watched as Emma tried to wriggle out of her shadow, Rita had never thought of Emma as in her shadow- though she could see why others would think so. The conversations became more brief, she noticed as her expression soured and then at a party that was held in celebration of her new column, Rita watched as Emma kissed the man she’d been seeing, AUGUSTUS ROOKWOOD [former romantic liaison] and disappeared out the door. Rita would never let anyone know how much it hurt her. She cried in private, winged her eyeliner and wore a brave face for work. It stung harder when Emma and Augustus made things official, but she’d never let it show. Rita had her column and her fame and not even Emma could take that from her. 

The disappearances and the eventual murders of BOOKER BAGNOLD [person of interest] and AMELIA BONES [person of interest] were more than just tabloid gossip. Rita was desperate to figure out who was behind the murders. The werewolf angle didn’t fit, so under the guise of her column, Rita attended exclusive events trying to find out information. A face in the crowd that had changed after the death of Booker. Harrison Bagnold and his girlfriend ROSALINE DAVIS [person of interest] had a knack for being around everyone who went missing, though it could just be coincidence. Alongside her photographer BENEDICT MISSLETHORPE [colleague], Rita has been following him to various events, including the most recent wedding of her former adversary GENEVIEVE AVERY-WILKES [adversary/person of interest]. Rita didn’t expect Genevieve’s husband to drop down dead at the wedding and divert her focus, although Rita is exploring the story on the killer bride, Rita has not yet exhausted the idea Harrison is in some way connected to what’s happened, and she is determined to get to the bottom of it before anyone else. Especially Emma.

— she is a LEVEL 6 WITCH & readied for war ;

[upinsmoke-gossip]

I don't know why some people even showed up. If you're not going to enjoy the cultural aspects of a cultural event, why go?

That’s a rather pointless question, like asking why the London Underground is such a mess or why this country keeps electing terrible politicians. We all know the English suck, love. Why don’t we take this chance to give out some honourable mentions to non-Scots that did pretty well? 

Daisy Hookum seems to really have given it her best go; that amount of tartan isn’t strictly necessary but I do appreciate the enthusiasm from someone who’s about to be a McNair. The same goes for Andromeda Black-- too long, darling, you’ll be trampled, but you do look gorgeous. Bailey Shaw certainly seems to have gotten the memo that this is a Scottish dancing event, though.

As far as the dancing goes, Gilderoy Lockheart seemed to be giving it his best attempt despite the lack of tartan. Who am I to fault glitter though, honestly? I swear I saw Levi Bulstrode doing decently enough, too. They’re probably no worse than I am, I’ve got two left feet and heavy boots. 

What do you lot think? I’d say the Americans have earned their keep, but have the English done enough to prevent us going all William Wallace by the end of the night? And who do you think’s been doing badly?

Dorcas Meadows headcanons

Ravenclaw

She/They pronouns (demigirl)

Has vitiligo 

Cottagecore lesbian. Has created an entire mini garden on the window sill of her dorm room, and even has a small plot to herself in the Herbology greenhouses, given to her by Professor Sprout. The two of them get along very well.

Dyes her hair bright colours

Plays an obscure instrument like the lyre

Fairy lights everywhere

Pet bowtruckle because everyone needs a bowtruckle living in their pocket. I also get the vibe that they’d have a hedgehog.

So. Much. Jewellery. Necklaces and bracelets and rings and earrings and yes they make their own earrings. Catch them walking around with tiny little toadstools or chess pieces hanging from their ears.

✨Flower crowns✨

Wishes on a ladybird and dandelion clocks and penny spiders.

Kill an insect and Dorcas will kick your arse. She’ll see a bug on her windowsill, give it a name and then set it free.

You’ve heard of Gilderoy the Mouse Prince. Now get ready for: Dorcas the Mouse Queen. She will play innocent if you ask why her coat pocket is squeaking. “Dorcas. Are you hiding another field mouse in your coast again?” “...No...” *tiny mouse pops its head out* “Fine, his name’s Algernon, he likes strawberries and he’s my best friend.”

Marlene McKinnon headcanons  

Fuck it, She/They pronouns as well.

Gryffindor

Goes through a punk phase with Sirius.

Organises the Gryffindor common room parties.

Different style hairstyle every year: long, short, mullet, Mohawk. Picture the most 70s hairstyles you can think of, Marlene had them all.

Leather jacket and pink poodle skirt, definitely a spiked choker and high top boots. More fishnets than even the author of My Immortal can handle.

Swears like a trooper, skips class to chainsmoke, but will literally have a meowing conversation with her cat.

Secretly loves Divination and has her own crystal ball.

You bet your arse she has tattoos, mainly on her arms and fingers. Lots of lyrics and stars and definitely a pentagram.

The Nirvana fan ten years before Nirvana even became a thing.

Has a herbal remedy for literally everything.

Dyslexic

Definitely a photographer. Permanently has a camera around her neck. Loves photographing her friends, her cat, and concerts. But her favourite muse is Dorcas.

Has a tongue piercing

Is fantastic at art 

Great sense of humour, and is overly sarcastic

Secretly wants to be a Healer, but only Dorcas knows about this dream.

Dorlene headcanons

Marlene has a tattoo of a hedgehog in honour of Dorcas.

Dorcas is tiny compared to Marlene, so Marlene just picks her up and carries her around.

(Above: Actual footage of Dorcas running up to Marlene).

Marlene will literally duel anyone for Dorcas, and honestly, those people better watch the fuck out.

Dorcas introduces every one of her animals to Marlene and if any of the animals get sick or hurt, Marlene will stay up all night with Dorcas to look after it.

Marlene absolutely created mixtapes for Dorcas, and draws her loads of pictures and cartoons (and totally doodles love hearts around Dorcas’s name on her textbooks).

Dorcas makes jewellery and friendship bracelets for Marlene constantly. And Marlene wears every single one of them, until their whole arm is just covered in bracelets.

Marlene: “My soul is as black as my eyeliner.” Dorcas: “I made you a daisy chain! ☺️” Marlene: *internally melts*

Dorcas reads to Marlene and helps her study, even if it means staying up for hours and Marlene getting pissed off. Dorcas is there with biscuits and blankets and support.

Marlene makes Dorcas tea and reads her tea leaves, or reads her palms, or interprets her dreams, and they’re usually always good. Marlene even uses it to ask out Dorcas.

“According to your tea cup, you will go on a date with a hot punk girl who thinks you’re really cute.” “Eliza Edwards from Hufflepuff?” “... actually, your tea cup says you’re an idiot.”

Just try and stop these two from sitting on each other’s lap, blowing kisses from across the Great Hall, lying against each other under the big tree in the grounds, sneaking off to the astronomy tower to make out, holding hands in the corridor, kissing in between lessons.

They buy a tiny lil flat together and Dorcas has plants everywhere. And Marlene’s pictures are hung up all over the walls, and it’s perfect.

Part Two: 'The Beginning Of The End'

His baby was cooing happily with the other man, the both of them babbling at each other. 

Stepping up to the slightly elevated platform he went up to Remus.

Except instead of acting like a normal human being and waiting for Remus to take the carrier off and pass it back to him, Sirius just circled his arms around Remus crushing them both in a hug. 

Now, between you and me, who's to say why Sirius Black chose to do this. 

Whether it was because he was deathly nervous the entire class and the adrenaline clouding his brain made hugging the both of them the only logical conclusion. 

Or whether he was so endeared by this giant fluff of a man, being so good to his kid, that he wanted to crush him into a hug.

Maybe it was a little of both. 

Finally, when he came to his senses, he realised what he'd done but didn't want to pull back either because Harry was still there. 

Instead, he gestured for Remus to unclasp the carrier and held Harry impossibly close. 

"Yeah, don't think I'm going to be able to do that again"

Remus frowned for a second considering Sirius' words.

"oh no, it had nothing to do with you, I just thought I was going to have a panic attack if I wasn't the one holding him" Sirius chuckled

"Oh I think you'll have to get used to it, I don't think I can go without holding him a second longer than you can, and I've only just met him"

"Excuse me are you trying to compete with me for 'who loves Harry more' because you'll have to be a sore loser" Sirius laughed, eyebrows quirked, challenging.

"I have a feeling I'm going to be a winner today," Remus said waggling his eyebrows, looking proud of himself for coming up with that, eyes glinting with mischief. 

"That was so cheesy" Sirius groaned loudly trying to hide the smile that was threatning to force itself out, before Remus was leaning and kissing him, carefully pulling Sirius in. 

He wondered if they'd ever come up for a breath, if it hadn't been for Harry squirming, having a fit for not being the centre of attention.

Maybe. Maybe not. Who's to say?

Sirius ended up passing Gilderoy's class, having to be thankful for finding the love of his life there. Which he was thoroughly bitter about. Thankfully, Remus didn't stick around working for the asshat too long. 

To Sirius's delight, Remus ended up being offered the position permanently when Gilderoy was fired for.... well for literally being the worst. 

Remus continued to take Harry to his classes as tradition, at Sirius allowing of course. 

The other students loved it and Remus got to spend more time with their kid. Their Kid. Plus, it saved a shit ton of money that would've been wasted on a crappy sitter. 

After two years of dating, Remus even set up the astronomy lab to project stars with a thousand daisies laid across the room, asking Sirius to marry him where they'd met for the first time.

Eventually, Sirius got used to the sight of Harry in the carrier strapped to Remus, in fact, Sirius actually preferred it now, having a much clearer view of Harry this way and a back that didn't hurt as much.  

and Eventually, Sirius got used to him and Harry not being so alone in the big, bad world.

Lots of people dreamed of fame and glory, of having crowds of people shout and scream for them as they walked down the street, of seeing their name sprawled across the front page of The Daily Prophet. Daisy was not one of those people, so when someone who’d been staring at her for nearly ten minutes finally worked up the courage to ask if she was the girl in the gossip column, she was less than thrilled. Tearing a paper from the rack at the front of the coffee shop she’d been waiting in at the time, she flipped through the pages looking for someone who would likely just resemble her -- or so she hoped. 

When she finally found the picture, she tore the page out, crumpling the rest of the paper in her hands despite the barista’s yelling, insisting that she pay for it. Daisy stormed out onto the streets of Wizarding London, with a look on her face that parted people on the sidewalk like the red sea. 

Fucking golden boy. All it took was one visit, one coincidental run in with Gilderoy fucking Lockhart and she was on the front page of the gossip section. How the hell had they kept their little fling a secret? How had she never graced these pages before? Daisy didn’t know the answer, but she sure as hell was happy about it. But now her face was plastered across the pages with the headline ‘GILDEROY LOCKHART’S MYSTERY WOMAN.’

Before she knew it, Daisy was outside his apartment, banging on his door. Not long after that, the paparazzi appeared, their floating cameras flashing behind her. Fucking golden boy. She could read the headline now --- ‘TROUBLE IN PARADISE FOR LOCKHART AND HIS MYSTERY LOVER.’

“Gilderoy fucking Lockhart, you open the door right now or I’ll blast it open, you hear me!?”
