Well hello dear! Come on in and sit yourself down!
My name's Serah Thalies and I'll be conducting your interview this afternoon to see if we can find you a perfect match!
Let's get started with your full name,
My full name is Abigail Delilah Riley.
And do you have a nicknames?
Abigail is fine, but I do like Abi. Some people call me Riley as well.
And let's be honest now, how old are you?
23
And which school did you go to?
Hogwarts, ma'am.
And which house were you in?
I was sorted into Ravenclaw, just like my dad. Brilliant man he is.
Fascinating, now lets add a picture to your folder shall we? I believe you have brought one along today.
Now what's your family heritage?
I'm a Pureblood .
Brilliant! And when did you get your wand?
Mahogany, Thirteen inches precisely, Thestral tail hair core.
That's good to know, now is there anything else we should know? Anything that irritates you?
Well, I don't really like people who think they're better than other people, you know? Those ones with the big egos and superiority complexes. Can't stand them.
Big empty rooms really get to me, I don't like the empty space. I guess it's kind of like reverse claustrophobia. Which is funny because I love the biig open outdoors. Just a walking contradiction I am.
I'm rubbish at mathematics, so I can't say as I like it very much.
Oh...And I loathe cauliflower.
And is there anything you really quite like?
Well, for starters, I love animals. All of them really. Furry or fanged, I think they're all fantastic little guys.
I'm fairly good at Quidditch. Beater, and seeker were my strongpoints. Terrible as a keeper though, too easily distracted when I'm stuck in one spot.
I'm always up for a good cup of coffee...or tea so long as it's strong. Ooooh, or pumpkin juice.
I'm terribly fond of the outdoors. Walks, picnics, hikes and what not.
Okay, so let's move on, tell me your skills.
I get on really well with critters, and I'm a whiz at Transfiguration. I like to help people if they need it... I'm just an easy going person. Been told I have a knack for singing, but you won't catch me doing that unless I'm alone or in the shower. So I suppose maybe that counts?
I'm great at baking, but rubbish at general cooking...unless it's pasta. I make one mean Alfredo.
And anything you wish you were better at?
Mathematics definitely. Numbers are a foreign language to me, which is funny because, I know quite a few languages rather fluently.
I don't pay attention a whole lot, which makes me pretty clumsy sometimes, so I guess being more attentive or more coordinated ?
That's all fantastic lovey! Now shall we talk a little about your family? Great! Tell me about your parents.
My mums Amelia Riley, maiden names Chase. She's a wandmaker, right good one too. Thats how I got mine. Thestral hair is rare in wand..real unstable, like Veela hair. But she figured out how to keep it working alright. Atleast mine that is.
My dad, Stephen Riley, he owns a creature shop. Sells all sorts, which is why I like them so much. Got to grow up with all kinds of animals.
And any siblings?
Nah, It's just me.
That's enough about your family now so we can move on to finding you a perfect match! Do you have anyone in mind that you would like a date with?
Not really? I haven't been around much, been traveling around, seeing the world. So I guess it's anyones game.
Okay, and what do you like in a partner?
Humor is an absolute must. If he can't make me laugh then it just can't work. I'm a complete goofball sometimes, and I need someone who can be a complete fool with me.
Someone with a good heart, you know, not an angry or violent kind of person.
Well..uhm.. I guess someone who likes being outside, or someone who likes to go see films. I'm big on both.
And what do you not want in a partner?
Someone uptight, or snobbish. I'm pretty aloof at times and I don't think that would work well.
I don't want someone vain. You know the type. They sppend more time in the mirror than a movie star? No way.
Cruelty is a BIG no. Someone mean spirited or cruel will only end in disaster.
Anyone in particular that you'd like to avoid?
Not that I can think of?
Fantastic work, fantastic! It looks like we'll be finding you your perfect match in no time lovey! Just one last thing and then you can go. Just post me your experience of finding out about the new marriage law.
Abigail was, as per usual, sitting to breakfast with her parents before she went off the work with her father. After concocting her much needed cup of coffee, she picked up the paper and curled up in a chair. Suddenly her legs shot straight out from under her.
"Marriage Legislation Bill?? What is this rubbish?" Abigail snorted into her coffee. Her father looked over to her, smirking.
"Haven't you heard, pumpkin? They've just passed it. It's supposed to 'strengthen the wizarding world'."He laughed, buttering his toast.
"Strengthen the wiz-- dad. You can't really be buying this crock? Forcing people to marry?" Just as he was about to comment, Abigails mother strode in. He cast his eyes downward and intently fascinated by his eggs.
"Buy what crock, Abi dear?" She asked pointedly with her token smile beaming across her face.
Abigail thrust the newspaper at her, and went back to nursing her coffee, though rather moodily now.
"You're too right I'm buying it! This is the only way I'll ever have any grandchildren! What with you running off and traveling about. Australia, Brazil, that silly amazon forest. Whats so interesting about it anyway." Amelia huffed, tossing the paper onto the table, purposely in front of Abigail.
"You listen here,Abigail. You'll be going down there today to get it all done. Your dad can mind the animals while you're gone." Amelia finalized.
Abigails eyes went wide as she shot pleading stares at her father. He simply shrugged in reply and went back to inspecting his breakfast, to avoid what was becoming a very awkward, one sided argument. Scoffing loudly,, Abigail tossed her mug in the sink, vaguely hoping that it might shatter. It didn't, much to her disapproval. Trudging to her room, she got dressed. Her parents had kept her room there for her as she never really settled anywhere else. Always living out of suitcases and the ilk as she was very nearly always traveling. So rather than her buy a house that she would hardly be at, she stayed with her parents when she was in town.
After fiiguring out an outfit for the day, she went back downstairs only to be greeted with her car keys and a determined expression on her mothers face. Shoulders dropping, face rippling with defeat, she snatched the keys and went to fill out her 'necessary' forms.
"Marriage Legislation...Complete rubbish....all of them completely daft." She muttered to herself as she drove. She could have avoided it all, and simply left the country again for awhile, but she knew her mothers wrath knew no bounds. So off she went...and she wasn't thrilled at all.
Brilliant, thank you so much for your time deary, you may let yourself out when you're ready. Buh-bye!
