Interview With a Vampire

Interview transcript by Rita Skeeter.

Rita Skeeter: Well, Hello! My Lestoat, is it? A pleasure, I'm sure.
Amarillo Lestoat: Amarillo is fine, Love.
Skeeter: Oh! Cheeky little Vampire, aren't we?
Lestoat: I'm not sure what would be defined as large in your books, madame. If I am 'little'.
Skeeter: I meant no harm, to be sure, Amarillo. Let us just move to the interview then.

Rita Skeeter was blushing by the time the Vampire had even found a seat, and by this point was certainly red. She sat across from him, to put some much needed distance between the two, after setting up her quill to take notes.

His eyes were trained on her, drinking in every movement, every shift. She could feel his gaze, like bugs crawling across her flesh. She cleared her throat, hoping the action would clear her head as well.
"A Vampire's Monologue seems like a very interesting book, which has found its way onto many bookshelves of both Wizard and Muggle women," Rita began, keeping her eyes mostly on the page of questions she had prepared earlier. Amarillo just smiled.
"Are you proud of that achievement?" Rita finished her question quickly, deciding that the less time she was in this Vampire's presence, the better.
"I am," he said simply.
"Do you have any other works in progress that you can reveal for me?" Rita brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, cursing her up-do for not staying up.
"
I do not." The Vampire could obviously see that he was annoying the reporter, who sighed slightly and continued her questions.
"Would you say that you are worried about the amount of Muggles who are all purchasing your books offline? That maybe they will realise it is not just a piece of fiction?"
"It is mostly fiction." Amarillo was keeping his answers short, knowing that the less he said the long Rita would have to stay with him. And he definitely wanted her to stay.
