"Andrea Flint, is it? Why don't you tell us a little about yourself?"
Andrea's lashes fluttered faintly, her expression impassive, if not mildly annoyed. "What do you want to know?" She phrased with delicate resignation.
"W-well, why don't we start with who you are."
Shifting mutely, she turned the better half of her attention on the young man. "My name is Andrea Elsa Flint. I am... the youngest of four children at sixteen. My parents, Marcus and Laurie Flint - if I recall correctly - had me on a last-ditch effort to produce another male heir. A fate that, to my fathers disappointment, never came to be. Being the last, I can only assume he's come to terms with it. Nevertheless, the household I hail from produces something of a cold form of love. With a predominantly absent father and a woman who enforces etiquette of the highest quality for a mother, I was raised, like my siblings, to aspire beyond ones average means. I am pure, I am privileged and I must do my utmost to resonate such as I enter a room."
"As you have, no doubt done. Are you close with your siblings?"
Her lips pursed in slight amusement, as if to entertain her response cognitively before responding. "Growing up, I was close to my sister, Jocelyn. We were close in age, where my brothers are six and seven years apart from me. But I'll admit that once she'd left for Hogwarts a year before myself and I was subsequently sorted into a different house than she was, in my own year, that I came into myself, independent of my sister. Still, I like to think, that despite our growing differences, we've maintained some of the closeness. Apart from Joss, I would say Nicholas - at least now anyway, is one of the easiest of my siblings to tolerate, partly because Brian was almost nearly as absent as dad was and it was hard to develop a stable relationship with him. Having Nicholas at school has most likely implemented this fact. Nevertheless, my love for my siblings is distributed equally. And while I can say that I have a decent relationship with them overall, I still maintain a stance of independence from them."
"How do you mean?"
"Unlike my sister, I am not a social person. I have my friends and I'll speak among those who are worthy of my attention, but I am a solitary person at heart. I thrive in silence and in the absence of my peers and I do not actively seek the company of others on a regular basis. The same goes for my siblings. I function best as a single entity.
"You seem quite adamant on setting yourself apart from them, why is that?"
She paused for a second, crossing her arms, "Because I'm the youngest. Brian was raised to follow in fathers footsteps; an epitome of Flint perfection. With Nicholas as his runner up. And Joss, Jocelyn is mothers Golden Child. I'm the last, the one who has to strive to rise to the same levels, the one who's supposed to climb mountains already climbed thrice. But rather than follow suit, I would rather pave my own path. On my own and most certainly by my own means."
"Understandable. But I'm surprised you've responded so strongly to your position. I imagine most would give up in that situation."
"As I said, I was raised to resonate superiority. It's embedded in my mind, that if I am to represent my family, I am to do so with the best of my abilities. Thriving for perfection is a normal concept in my family."
"I see. Well, how about we move on and discuss your life at Hogwarts?"
Andrea's arms unfolded, shifting to sit up straight once more, "It's refreshing. I won't lie. I like Hogwarts. I like the freedom it gives me that home doesn't. My first year was probably the most pivotal. With Joss already a year ahead of me and having been sorted into Ravenclaw, I had a year to get used to being on my own, but once I started at Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin, like most of my family, Nick was the only one who I ran into daily. He was a seventh year though and with our age gap, especially at that point, it didn't amount to the most genial of relationships. I was his baby sister, a kid - and that fact had been more pronounced that year than any other. From then on, I learned to branch out and hung out with people my age, people that didn't fall short out of my family's beliefs anyway. For the first couple years I was out-rightly rude to muggleborns and blood traitors, but as I got older I realized dedicating my time to them made them worthy of it, so I no longer feel the need to associate beyond forced class activities. As for my academic achievements, I've done well, exemplary even in herbology, charms, potions and history. And I like to think my other grades don't fall short of notability. But I admit, I'm no Jocelyn and certainly no Brian. I work diligently to meet the best of my standards, not the ones set by my siblings. Socially it varies. As I said, I have my friends, but I like to be alone a lot too. However I participate where I feel I have to and 'fun' is not a word I'm foreign to."
Any boyfriends, girlfriends perhaps?
She smirked, resting her head against her palm, "I admit, I've indulged in the boyfriend thing when everyone else started, but I never considered any of them particularly serious. I'm not as driven as some of my friends to find a suitable companion at this point in time. I have also never found myself interested in the same sex though if I did, I'm sure I would not be opposed so long as they met the appropriate requirements."
"High standards?"
"Relatively."
"How do you feel about yourself?"
Her eyes narrowed with skepticism. "I feel that this question is masking another."
"... Perhaps I ought to have word this better. How do you see yourself as a person?"
"I don't think it matters, to be frank. In the end, what other people think of me is how everyone else defines me. My personal opinions of myself only of relevance in my own self-reflections."
"I see. Why don't we discuss your hobbies then, and maybe things you like in general?"
"It varies. And sometimes I feel differently about certain things. My hobbies play on a rotational scheme as well, but for the most part I take pleasure in reading, late night runs, drawing and among other things, spending time in the greenhouses. I also enjoy dueling and potion-making, on a more creative level. As for the general likes, the more stable ones anyway - I'm a big fan of tea, felines and tamer animals. I like chocolate, bread and pastries. I like autumn and winter more than the other seasons and I find Quidditch entertaining given that I'm on the sidelines."
"Any specific dislikes?"
"Several. Muggleborns and Blood traitors for one. I was raised to think less of them and I believe I've come to dislike them for that reason. I also am not a huge fan of flying and the summer heat. I find first years mildly irritating, and large crowds even more so. Mostly though, I don't like going home for the holidays. It's rigid and intense when the whole family gets together, something that I only bothered to notice after coming to Hogwarts."
"What about goals? Do you have any idea on what you want to be when you graduate Hogwarts?"
"It's hard to say. I'll probably have the academic qualifications to pursue several areas in the Ministry and among the Wizarding community. The problem is, whether with my family or myself, is that we're raised to reach high, now how high that goes and where it takes us is a lot harder to define by preference when other areas of ones life isn't considered relevant. I have however considered looking into learning non-verbal magic once I'm old enough and possible hope to do something that lets me work with magic on a more creative level. Beyond that, my future is blurred. And I am not afraid to admit that much, even if my family may or may not disapprove."
"Well, Miss Flint, I must say, you are quite intutive for your age. I do hope you succeed in pursuing your own path and I can only wish you the best. It has really been quite a pleasure getting to know you for more than your name."
Andrea relaxed as the young man rose to his feet, seemingly satisfied with the interview process. "Thank you," She responded, rising to her own feet with every bit the inclination to depart for well deserved silence.
Andrea's lashes fluttered faintly, her expression impassive, if not mildly annoyed. "What do you want to know?" She phrased with delicate resignation.
"W-well, why don't we start with who you are."
