I didn't want to keep Skeeter a prisoner forever, so I let her go once I was back home. However, before I let her out, I pointed out that I'd been very merciful---I could have Obliviated her with no problem, and she'd have been unable to switch back to human form. I made her take a wizards" oath to not write for publication for a year without my permission, which, at the time, I didn't think would be forthcoming.
