(No one's P.O.V.)

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Professor and Headmaster of Hogwarts School sits upon his chair , and before him, upon another chair sat the patron for the interview of the Defense teaching position.

He noted that this woman, this witch, Sierra Bluebell Swiftfang was much homeschooled, through she had traveled the world numerous times. She had done very well on her O.W.L.S., and N.E.W.T.S., and very precise in Defense, Charms, Potions, and Transfiguration.

"Ms. Swiftfang, I see you had lived in America, through you were born in Britain by a couple of tourist Americans.". Dumbledore noted curiously.

The woman only smiled wistfully, "Let's say, my parents were upon a cruise, travelling to Britain, hoping to see the sights and such. My mother knew she was pregnant, but she never told Father the entire time, for she was afraid that she might lose me like she lost my sibling in a miscarriage years ago.".

Albus raised a eyebrow, "A glamour charm?".

Sierra Swiftfang chuckled, "It was a ingenious idea at the time, but unfortunately, I chose the time to be born, and so Mother had to tell Father then, and Father was shocked, furious, and at last, happy. To say, I was their first and last child, for my mother was soon to be out of primetime age to have more kids. I never asked for anything much, though I might admit I was a bit spoiled. Technically, my mother was a halfblood, and Father was a muggleborn, and there was a word in America. They called me a mixedborn.".

Albus's eyes twinkled in curiousity, "Interesting word. May we use that here as well?".

Sierra sighed firmly, "First, I must learn to live in Britain and Scotland, then perhaps later on, the word 'mixedborn' will be used with my permission.".

"Ah, of course, Ms. Swiftfang. Now, why do you wish to teach here in the Defense Against the Dark Arts position?". Albus asked politely.

Sierra took upon a wistful look, "I love children, and I want to give them a chance to learn how to fight against the Dark Arts, if only leave them alone in peace. It's a dangerous position, I noticed, but I do love a challenge, and I wish to do it upon my way, and with advice from you and the other professors, perhaps, we might change Hogwarts for the better.".

Albus then stood up, "Ms. Sierra Swiftfang, I've never heard such a strong speech like that before in all my years of interviewing. Will you accept to be the Defense professor?".

Sierra stood up determinedly, "With my honor, I accept the job, Headmaster.". And the two professors shook hands, and left the Headmaster's office, to do a Hogwarts tour, and lunch as well.
