Fandom: Harry Potter

Requested by : @Rugratsfan101

Hope it's up to your standards 😅
And sorry it took so long😬!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Third person's  POV :

The broadcasting sets were loud. Very very loud. And full of chatter. Mostly bits of gossips here and there.

And in the middle of it all is the infamous Rita Skeeter.
As well as the timid Petunia Evans Dursley.

"Now than, tell me Petunia, what is it like rasing Harry Potter?"

"It's um...he is a difficult child that's for sure...uh...um I think that's really all...sorry"

Rita sigh for about the fifth time. "Alright cut!"

"Clearly you aren't comfortable with this board casting set up so why don't we move this interview to a more private space?" Rita stated as she rose from her seat.
 
"If it's no trouble then yes."
"Great follow me then Mrs Dursley."

"Petunia. Call me Petunia."
"Very well then, feel free to address me as Rita. Oh and Bozo, you are dismissed for the day."

Bozo silently nodded his head before proceeding to pack up all the equipment.

Rita beckoned for Petunia to follow. Petunia nodded and proceeded to stand.

Rita lead the way while Petunia followed. The silence between them as they walked was heavy but it wasn't uncomfortable.

Eventually they reached their destination. "After you." Rita said as she held the door opened for Petunia.

Petunia nodded her head in thanks as she walked into the dressing room with Rita following close behind.

Rita sat down and gestured to Petunia to seat down across from her. 

"Alright let's continue shall we?"

Rita was met with silence.

"...Do you want a cigar?"

"What?"

"Well you obviously don't want to say anything else in this interview so let's stop. And I want to release some stress. Now then, do you want a cigar?"

Petunia meekly nodded before accepting the cigar from Rita's hand.

"Thanks I needed it" , Petunia said with a soft smile.

"Don't worry. I needed a break anyways. You wouldn't believe how hectic this job can be" , Rita said with a dramatic eye roll and a exaggerated wave of her hand holding the cigar.

"Hectic? I didn't think that writing false tales and rumors would be so hectic for the 'Great Rita Skeeter'", Petunia retored.

"Oh? I see the cigar is working seeing as you can make witty remarks about my fabulous stories. Besides, the public desires my tales and I am just forced to keep feeding them, so yes, even sometimes it can become to hectic for the 'Great Rita Skeeter'."

Petunia and Rita shared a big laugh.

Rita's POV:

After our laughter calmed down I decided to ask this petite lady a question that has been lingering on my mind.

"You know, when I approached you for a interview, you were... what's the correct word? Ah yes, bold. You accepted quite fast but had asked for it to be held at the board casting studio but when the camera turned on, you became timid and withdrawn and now that we are alone you have become quite bold again. Why is that? And I know it's not because you are camera shy."
