Hagrid finds out he is on probation. Harry’s scar is hurting more often and the only things he looks forward to are DA meetings. On Valentine’s Day, Harry agrees to meet Hermione at midday but goes off with Cho for the morning. They go to a café where other couples are talking and kissing. Harry feels out of his depth and very nervous. Cho tries to talk about Cedric but Harry won’t. Harry is tactless and says he has to go to meet Hermione. Cho gets very upset and storms out.

Harry meets Hermione who is with Rita Skeeter. After some discussion, Harry agrees to give Rita an interview with all the details of what happened to Cedric and the fight with Voldemort. It will be printed by Luna Lovegood’s father in The Quibbler. Rita points out that the Daily Prophet only exists to sell itself and does not have good standards of independence. Harry names all the Death Eaters assisting Voldemort in the article.


Question:
Why would Animagi be required to be registered with the Ministry of Magic? What happens if they don't?
