I, Dr. Rhiannon Aradia, was introduced to one Mr. Colin Irving Creevey just after the completion of his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, on the 1st of July 1993. Mr. Creevey had been sent to my office on the recommendation of headmaster Albus Dumbledore.  It seems that Mr. Creevey had been subjected to several traumatic events during the school term. Mr. Creevey was accompanied by his magically deficient mother, who was indifferent to Mr. Creevey's obvious distress. What follows is the recorded account of my interview with Mr. Creevey, which took place over a span of fifteen minutes.

RA: Good afternoon, Mr. Creevey. 

CC: Hello.

RA: Colin – may I call you Colin? – I see that you have a camera with you. Do you like photography?

CC: Yes.

RA: I see. So, Colin, Professor Dumbledore tells me that you were…(pages flipping) petrified? Is this correct?

CC: I guess so.

RA: I see. That must have been very difficult for you to deal with. Tell me…do you have nightmares?

CC: No.

RA: I see. (pages flipping) It says here that you were carrying grapes at the time of petrifaction? Any significance?

CC: I was taking them to Harry. He was in the Hospital Wing, regrowing bones. I thought he would like it if I took his some grapes.

RA: I see. Harry? This is, I assume, Harry Potter? Are you friends with him?

CC: (brightly) Oh yes!  Harry and me are very close! I'm like his official photographer. He really wants to spend time with me, but he pretends he doesn't because Ron Weasley has such a temper. Me and Harry…yeah…we're like this…

RA: Uh huh. I see. And, Harry will concur with this?

CC: Oh, no! Harry wants to keep it all hushed up, so that the other students don't get jealous! He's so popular and all, and…Well, who wouldn't be jealous of Harry Potter's best friend?

RA: I see. Colin, do you have any hobbies…Quidditch, card collections? Anything?

CC: I watch Quidditch when Gryffindor plays, because Harry is Seeker and he needs me there for moral support. And I collect Chocolate Frog cards, because Harry does. And I take pictures of Harry.

RA: (quill scratching) I see. Well, Mr. Creevey, our time is up. Thank you for coming.

I accompanied Mr. Creevey back to the waiting area and bid he and his mother a good day. I found this interview to be slightly disturbing, as I have never seen any adolescent with such a hero-worship complex. Mr. Creevey's obsession with Harry Potter obviously lead to delusions of familiarity and could result in a dangerous stance later in his school life. Mr. Creevey is obviously deranged, and I advocate the use of controlled substances to regulate his wild obsession. I recommend a further investigation of Mr. Creevey in six months, in order to see if his fixation on Harry Potter has receded.
