Word Count: ~5700
Medium: Fic
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *Angst, unrequited love, character death*.

Author: ???
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, [info]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.
