Re: Vikesh and Pansy
"Well, Quidditch is a business," Pansy said, not without some sympathy. While she didn't understand the need to constantly give back to charity, she knew she wasn't in the majority there. There were even some causes she believed in, and donated to anonymously, though she didn't see why it had to be at odds with for-profit businesses.
After a moment she said, "There are companies out there who do great things for those in need, and use part of their profits to support worhty causes. I always suggest that my clients do the research before agreeing to any sponsorships, to make sure the businesses ethics line up their own." That wasn't quite true, but it wasn't a lie either. It was just good business, because if anything turned up later that would cause a scandal, it would be on her head.
"And there's always something to be said for using the gifts one has been given to help others, either by bringing voice to a cause or publicly supporting one organization or another."
