Title: No Charity Rating: PG Pairing: Aunt Marge/Rita Skeeter Word Count: 3200 Warnings/Content: None Summary: Rita sets out on a tough assignment – to interview Miss Marjorie Dursley. Notes: This pairing took me by surprise, donnaimmaculata, I hope it works for you. I made up the currency conversion, because that's what the Daily Mail would do. (And then double it, probably.) I also may have stolen a Pratchett-ism, but I didn't think you would object too much. Thank you to S for checking this over. ( No Charity )
