All around the battlefield, Rita Skeeter had seen enough.
Rita: I think it's time to retreat. I have plenty of material, she thought.
She returned to her human form and quickly moved away from the scene to activate her Portkey, which immediately transported her to Diagon Alley.
Most of the shops were closed, and there were no passersby in the streets. Rita wondered what was happening, as the logical thing would be for people to be with their families, seeking refuge in the safety of their homes. However, she knew that two establishments remained open, even in times of war. She hurried toward the first of them and saw the sign for the Wizarding Wireless Network, commonly abbreviated as WWN.
Rita entered the office abruptly, startling the employees.
Tobias (worker): Skeeter, you can't just barge in like that! You almost gave us a heart attack.
Rita: I don't have time. I need to make an urgent broadcast.
Tilden Toots (manager): What's so urgent?
Rita: I've just come from St. Michael.
Tilden Toots (manager): Really? You're not lying?
Rita: Of course not. It's an exclusive.
Tilden Toots (manager): Alright, follow me.
They hurried into the booth where the program Witching Hour was broadcast, hosted by Glenda Chittock. Without warning, Rita grabbed the microphone.
Rita: Good evening, listeners. This is Rita Skeeter, journalist for the Daily Prophet. I'm interrupting your program to bring you the results of the battle between You-Know-Who's forces and the Ministry of Magic.
Across the country, everyone fell silent at the sound of those words, eager to hear the outcome.
Rita: The Ministry of Magic has won. You-Know-Who has fled, and his entire army has been defeated.
In the radio studio, everyone was stunned, their mouths hanging open in disbelief. But after a few seconds, they erupted into cheers of joy. Many listeners celebrated as well, shouting and embracing each other.
Rita: For more details, be sure to pick up tomorrow's edition of the Daily Prophet. Goodbye.
Rita quickly left, leaving everyone craving more information. As she exited the building, Tilden Toots followed closely behind her.
Tilden Toots (manager): Rita, you can't just leave us like this! We need more details!
Rita: I'm a journalist for the Daily Prophet, but I'll consider your request if you offer me a radio show and good pay. For now, I need to write the story.
Rita walked briskly down Diagon Alley toward the Daily Prophet building. Upon entering, she was greeted with applause from the staff, including Andy Smudgley, Betty Braithwaite, E. Limaria, E. Limus, M. Amerinus, M. Carneirus, R. Almeidas, and others.
Barnabas Cuffe (editor): You did an outstanding job. Congratulations.
Bozo (photographer): You nailed it, boss.
A. Fenetre (journalist): Well done, Rita.
Andy Smudgley (journalist): This is a major exclusive.
Rita: Thank you, but we still have work to do. We need to get this story published. Chief, I'll need the Pensieve, and Bozo, bring your camera.

Meanwhile, in St. Michael, the survivors were celebrating their victory, dismantling anti-apparition spells and deactivating magical artifacts. Ministry of Magic personnel approached the scene, followed by Minister Amelia Bones.
