*It isn't exactly a shock that Rita has been following the Crouch family press (and making it) with a great deal of interest. It's nigh impossible to live in wizarding Britain WITHOUT knowing a thing or two about the lot of them. What separates Rita from the pack is the nature of her particular interest.
No one has dared write an ill word about the Crouches since their meteoric rise to power. However "ill" is precisely the word Rita is intrigued with. It doesn't take a historian to be familiar with the family's prior reputation. It doesn't take a doctor to see Bernadette Crouch, even made lively with make-up and fine robes, has one foot in the grave. However, it does take a reporter to put two-and-two together for her loyal readers. The personal and private hardships of a beloved politician make for a good pay-check, after all.
Titles spin through her head. Bartemius Crouch - Coming Undone? or perhaps Shocking Truth Emerges, Minister's Wife On Her Death Bed yet still Behind Closed Doors: Imminent Tragedy for Family Crouch.
The locked STAFF ONLY door swims into her view. Nose diving, Rita only folds her wings once she reaches the sterile, tiled floor. Scuttling under the gap, she emerges into a world that's dissolved into nothing but files, dating back centuries and enchanted into organizing and copying themselves so that the tall, windowless room is nothing but a bustle of floating parchment.*

Roderick, what - ?

...Even Ted would be impressed with this mess.
