A/N: this I've written because I had to write an interview for my Dutch
class at school, with someone, who didn't need to exist in reality… you
don't have to tell me twice! Of course I didn't mention DADA or Hogwarts
directly in this interview… so I changed the story I wrote a bit, when I
translated it. Please, read and review oh, you may enjoy it too ;-)…
Before you begin reading, imagine this: you're reading some kind of Muggle- magazine, so from a Muggle's POV, as the interviewer is a Muggle. (don't ask tricky 'then why is she interviewing Remus?'- questions, PLEASE!!!)
Yes, Remus knows it's for Muggles, so he denies any Wizarding-stuff.
1.1 Interview with Remus Lupin
By Anne Zwarts
For our weakly interview, I've interviewed Mr Remus Lupin this week. His name probably won't mean anything to you, but he isn't a celebrity after all. He's just a normal houseman, that's why I asked him for this interview.
We interviewed him in an inn, called the Three Broomsticks, near the village he's living, which I (because he asked me not to) won't mention. He arrived a bit later then we had the appointment, but he immediately apologised. "I'm sorry, but just before I wanted to leave, a friend of mine came by. I hope you haven't been waiting too long?" he said. After talking nonsense for a few minutes, we began the interview.
Our first question was about his youth, but Mr Lupin avoided any direct answer in a very smart way, but after some time, we succeeded to get a reasonable answer out of him.
"My youth… yes, that's been a long time… I've had quite a quiet youth actually. (A/N: not to mention the werewolf-part of his life…). I went to Hogwarts when I was eleven, that's a school somewhere in Scotland; this was when I still lived in Scotland. I've been at Hogwarts for seven year, seven beautiful years, I'd daresay. Hogwarts was in a very ancient castle, with a big yard around it and a forest. We weren't allowed to go into the forest, they kept us away from it with stories about werewolves running through it. Not that I believed it of course, everybody knows werewolves don't exist! Well, I had a few good friends there, one I'm still seeing very much, thanks to him I was late today…" Remus Lupin was looking around in a nervous way when he mentioned that forest, his eyes shot in every direction. If it is true what he says about the werewolves in that forest, I think he walked around there when it was full moon too, once, because I've see many things on him of which they say are remarkable for werewolves. His eyes, for example, they have a typical colour werewolves seem to have too, and his tired expression and the paleness of his skin is a very big contrast to the sharpness that seems to hunt his eyes. But as everybody knows that werewolves don't exist, I went on with my next question.
"I was still living in Scotland when I heard of an education in Oxford that interested me a lot. I am really fascinated by dark magic, and that education was meant to teach you how to defend yourself against dark magic. I subscribed for that education, but wasn't taken, because it already was filled. Then I went to the nearest bookshop, and bought the books I needed and began studying, myself. I graduated in Oxford," he told me.
So he probably knows that werewolves (if they would exit) are dangerous creatures, which has everything to so with dark magic. "Yes, that's true, I've heard it, but it's argued in the books a many times. A werewolf is only dangerous when it's full moon, or when something happens that brings its wolf behaviour to the surface, which is normally hidden under its human behaviour." Now he was in conflict with what he'd said earlier.
I was wondering, what kind of work do you do when you're taught to defend against dark magic. "After I rounded my study in Oxford, I travelled all around the world. On of the countries I've been to were the Netherlands, there I've been studying the myth of the Witte Wieven. I still don't exactly know what they are, but I resume my expedition once. I've also been searching for evidence for a newfound species, they are called werefishes. But I still haven't found any evidence of existence…"
Mr Lupin appeared to be a very interesting person, I found out during interviewing him. Maybe he comes by soon for a larger interview, only if it were to tell us more about his profession. I myself didn't know that education existed in Oxford.
A/N: well, you didn't know that about him, did you? (don't even dare tell me you didn't, because I haven't all figured it out myself…) Please, review!!!
