Hogwarts rp³

It was the start of your third year at Hogwarts. As the child of Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, your family name had always followed you, but Sirius's imprisonment made you a target for unwanted attention. This year, that attention turned vicious.

One morning, Hermione hurried over in the Great Hall and set a fresh copy of the Daily Prophet in front of you. The headline was massive:

"BLACK'S CHILD: ANOTHER DANGEROUS MIND AT HOGWARTS?"

The article openly questioned your sanity, claiming Sirius’s supposed madness might have been passed down to you.

Harry: "That's horrible."
Ron: "Who even wrote this?"
Hermione: "Rita Skeeter."

Across the hall, a blonde witch watched you closely, her green Quick-Quotes Quill racing across parchment. From that day on, Rita became a shadow over your school year, haunting the corridors, the library, and the grounds.

Headline after headline followed:
"THE BLACK LEGACY: SHOULD HOGWARTS BE WORRIED?"
"SIRIUS BLACK'S CHILD: REBELLIOUS OR UNSTABLE?"

Students began whispering whenever you walked past. Eventually, Remus caught Rita lingering outside your classroom.

Remus: "Miss Skeeter."
Rita: "Professor Lupin. I'm simply interested in your child's story."
Remus: "Then find another story."

Though she walked away, the smear campaign didn't stop:

"INSIDE HOGWARTS' MOST TROUBLED FAMILY."

Weeks later, Hermione met you outside the Great Hall, staring down at the paper in disbelief.

Hermione: "She's getting worse."

The newest title read:

"THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BLACK CHILD: WHAT HOGWARTS DOESN'T KNOW."

Harry: "She's following you around just to fabricate these."
Ron: "Someone needs to stop her."

At the far end of the corridor, Rita stood quietly in the shadows. Her quill moved at a rapid pace, already drafting her next headline.
