(Author's POV)
Blaise hasn't talked to Ophelia since that night. Instead he hangs out with Daphne Greengrass and Theodore Nott. To make thing worse the whole school thinks that Ophelia's a cheat. Staring at her and insulting her, if it weren't for Pansy, Draco and Ophelia would've beaten up at least ten second years.
But today they have an interview with someone named Rita Skeeter? She writes for the Daily Prophet of something.
"What quirks lurk behind those rosy cheeks?" Rita purrs as she caresses Ophelia's cheek along with Fleurs.
As Rita is about to slap the girls, Ophelia quickly takes a hold on her wrist, making Rita stop
"Don't you dare" Ophelia spat, throwing her hand
She ignores this and awkwardly moves along to harass Cedric and Harry behind Ophelia.
"She's uh, a little coo-coo no?" Fleur whispers in her ear
"A little?" Ophelia laughs
"Ok ok, a lot of coo-coo" the girls quietly laugh
"Shall we start with the youngest?" Rita asks as she pulls Harry and through a door.
The four other champions sit in silence
"God she's a nightmare" Ophelia mumbles as she stands up
"While we wait, I don't believe we've formally met" Cedric grins at Ophelia
"You're right, Ophelia Mendoza" Ophelia introduces herself she puts her hand out
"Cedric Diggory" he does the same as he takes her hand and shakes it
"Nice to meet you" Cedric grins
Rita's photographer thought it'd be a great photo opportunity and snapped a photo. The bright flash drew the attention of everyone in the room
"Dude..really?" Ophelia asks as she rapidly blinks her eyes
All he does is shrug and slowly leave the room
"Now that that's done, let's do the second youngest shall we?" Rita comes back out, Harry looking mentally exhausted.
Ophelia quickly glances at Cedric and Harry, making a disgusted face and reluctantly following Rita into a broom closet
"What the hell is this?" Ophelia looking around the tiny room
"My interview room, for now. But come, come sit" Rita enthusiastically says as she pushes Ophelia down
"So tell me dear, how's your relationship with your parents?" Rita starts as she scoots closer to Ophelia
"What is this? Therapy?" Ophelia says as she slightly moves away from her
"Well my readers want to know all about what made our champion act out and do something as daring as put her own name in the Goblet of Fire" Rita continues
"I didn't even put my name in the damn Goblet of Fire" Ophelia retorts
"Of course you didn't dear" Rita winks, not believing a word Ophelia is saying
"But my mother passed when I was a baby. So I only have my father" Ophelia explains
"How?" Rita asks
Ophelia quickly glares at her, not wanted to give details but gives in and sighs
"Um..car crash" she hesitantly says
"Can we move on from this question?"
"How would your mother feel if she knew you were in this tournament? Scared or proud?" Rita moves closer to Ophelia, the smell of coffee leaving her mouth, and her teeth smudged with red lipstick
