A/N: Well, here's the next chappie. I've had it forever, but the problem is, I hand write my stories, and then type them, and I'm too lazy to type too much. I have up to chapter 6 written though. Oh, and there was a mistake on Chapter 1; Celia is 15, not 16. Sorry about that. And thanks to tazzie21 for reviewing! throws cookies Please R/R!!

The Interview:

At precisely 3 o'clock the next day, Minerva McGonagall apparated to the front door of Celia Hamleton's house. The witch observed her surroundings. She was obviously in a Muggle neighborhood. The lawn was a little brown in the summer heat, but otherwise, very well kept. The house was a small two story one, white, like the rest of the houses on the street, with a blue door and shutters. She could see boxes through a window to her left in the house. She knocked on the door. A couple seconds later, a young woman answered the door.

"Oh! You must me Ms. McGonagall!" she said.

The young lady was wearing Muggle clothes, consisting of jeans, a lime green t shirt, and flip flops.

"Please, come in. I'm sorry out house is such a mess," continued the girl. She led Minerva to what appeard to be the living room.

"Mom! Dad! The assistant Headmistress of Hogwarts is here!" the girl yelled up the stairs. She then turned back to Minerva.

"Please! Make yourself at home!" she said, jesturing to the couch. "Would you like anything to drink? Water? Lemonade? Tea?"

"No thankyou," replied Minerva. " And may I assume that you are Celia?"

"Yes!" replied Celia as two people came down the stairs. Minverca took a moment to really look at Celia. She was a little short for her age, though petite, with shoulder length brown hair, almost black, with hazel highlights, and stunning brown eyes. Minerva had to admit that the girl was rather pretty. Celia's parents looked rather pleasant. Celia looked very much liker her mother, except for her eyes. But she didn't get those from her father either. Minerva stood up to shake hands with Celia's parents.

"I am Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Celia's father was the first to answer.

"I'm Randy, and this is my wife Erin. Thank you so much for doing this."

Minerva smiled.

"Of course. Now, I assume that Celia has informed you of the arrangements?"

Both of Celia's parents nodded.

"Good, Now, Celia and I shall be off, and she should be back by 5 o' clock."

"Do I need anything other than my wand?" asked Celia, pulling out her wand.

"No," replied Minerva.

"Alright then. Bye ya'll. Love you," said Celia to her parents, hugging and kissing each of them before side-along- apparating with Minerva. They appeared right outside the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmead.

"This is Hogsmead, the local village," said Minerva as they walked down the main street. "And that," she said, pointing to the castle, " is Hogwarts."

"Wow… it's beautiful!" exclaimed Celia. "We're in Scotland, right?"

"Yes," replied Minerva.

"I've always wanted to go to Scotland. My parents took me to Englang for vacation when I was 11, and we were supposed to go to Scotland, but we never got to go," said the American witch, soaking in the scenery.

"Well, you're here now," said Minerva as they approached to castle.
