"So I just tell you about myself?"
(Interviewer mumbles "yes")
(Pause)
"Okay. My name's Augustus Orion Rookwood III. Don't call me Gus unless you want to get hexed. I'm 17 and I'm going into my seventh year at Salem. I'm in Paomet house."
(Interviewer says "tell me about your family)
"My family? They're normal folks, I guess. My dad's name is Octavian and my mom's name was Elizabeth. She's dead. My stepmom's name is Juliana. She's a pureblood, obviously."
(Interviewer asks "why obviously?")
"Well, I mean, my family's full of blood-purists. We're a pureblood family with Slytherin history."
(Pause)
"As I was saying, Juliana is my stepmother. I have a brother whose name is [name withheld]. I don't have any step-siblings yet. Juliana's trying, but the [expletive deleted by editor] is sterile, I think. Dad's not too happy about it, but whatever. I think he wants a daughter. Anyway, I have two aunts. One's missing, actually, so I guess I have one aunt. My aunt that is definitely alive is named [name withheld]. She has a kid from a past marriage and lives with her best friend, who we're all pretty sure she's in a relationship with. Grandad wasn't okay with that stuff though so she keeps it pretty quiet."
(Augustus sighs)
"My grandad died a few years ago, right before my mom did. My grandma's close to dying too. Cancer's a [expletive deleted by editor]. Jesus, can I get a cigarette?"
(Rustling, flick of a lighter, loud exhale of smoke)
(Interviewer mumbles "tell me about your grandfather")
(Augustus laughs loudly)
"That's what this is about, isn't it? My big, bad grandad? Okay, I'll tell you about my [expletive deleted by editor] grandad! He was Augustus Orion Rookwood and he was born in England. My family comes from old money, you know? It's a long line of purebloods and fancy wizards. So grandad felt like it was his job to protect blood-purity. So he joined up with Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters."
(Interviewer asks "so your grandad was a death eater")
(Loud exhale)
"Didn't you hear me? Yeah, he was a Death Eater. But after Voldemort was killed, he escaped to America. He moved to Pennsylvania and sort of lived in isolation. Then he married my grandma and had kids. He taught all his kids the dark arts. My dad sent me to Salem because my mom wanted me to get a well-rounded education and Mom had Dad wrapped around her finger. So here I am."
(Interviewer prompts Augustus to talk about himself)
"I'm the biggest heartthrob Salem has ever seen. I'm probably the best at magic too. Well, the magic that counts. I have no patience for Herbology and Divination. I'm pretty sick at Transfiguration and Flying."
(Augustus continues to ramble about how awesome he is)
(Interviewer mumbles "tell me about your friends")
"My friends are the greatest people in the world. Well, they're few and far between, but they're the most patient people in the world. They're basically the opposite of me. I can't stand to be friends with someone that's too similar to me. And before you ask, I don't have a girlfriend. I've had a few girlfriends and a flirtationship with a guy once. I'm sort of heteroflexible, I guess. I don't question it. Anyone who can offer me something is free to pursue me- as long as they're purebloods, of course."
(Interviewer says "I think we're done here")
"Good. I'm getting sick of talking to a half-blood. See ya, Mud-blood."
