HISTORY
[attr="class","CVcontent2temp1"]
[attr="class","CVcontent3temp1"]
Might we start with your name in full and all the pertinents?[break][break]
"Thomas Arthur Weasley. Most recently nineteen years of age."[break][break]
So, Tom...[break][break]
"Thomas."[break][break]
Really? That seems a little overly...[break][break]
"Formal? Yes, I can see that. I don't do it to seem pretentious. It just that... history has made it that people in the Wizarding community still look at you a bit queer when you're a former orphan named Tom. Very few people get the privilege, and trust, to call me by Tom."[break][break]
Well, since you already broach the subject. You are adopted then, but still a Weasley?[break][break]
"Weasleys are capable of adopting children, too, didn't you know?" He chuckles. "But yes, so far as I am concerned they are my parents; they're the only ones I've ever known. I was found at St. Mungo's as a babe in the basket left on the doorstep, the only thing more cliche might have been if I was floated down a river on a raft and washed up among the reeds. The hospital was probably for the better though, because that's where my mother, Patricia, worked. I was the second adopted into the family, following my brother Tanner, and followed later by my sister Madalyn. We're not the only adopted Weasleys and we likely won't be the last either."[break][break]
So then you've no knowledge of your birth-parents? Do you ever wonder about them? Who they are?[break][break]
"No knowledge; I was less than a month old when I was abandoned, sort of hard to have developed enough to form lasting memories." He paused, introspectively, choosing his next words carefully. "Do I think about who they might be? I'd be lying if I said I didn't. It's not because of some longing for the parents I never had, because I have parents that would make most children envious. There are just questions that are difficult to escape. It's hard to just sweep those questions aside to the corners of my mind for too long before they creep back up to the surface."[break][break]
Recount, briefly if you would, your experiences at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry.[break][break]
"I took to Hogwarts like a bird to the sky; it took me a bit to get the hang of things, but even when I struggled, it all felt natural, part of the process to getting where I was going. Of course, it was my friends that made the experience that much worth it, specifically my cousin James Potter and one of my oldest friends, Sarah Finnigan. All three of us were sorted into Gryffindor in the same year and were largely inseparable for most of our years. Both Sarah and James played Quidditch for our house team, but I don't do brooms - that is to say, brooms and I just don't get along well.[break]
I don't know if you would call me the brains of the operation, but I would. It's nothing to slight James, as he's clever in his own way, but I'm smarter than he is. I'm not sure he'd really fight me on that either. We all have our strengths, book smarts and studies just came naturally to me. In the end, we all put our natural gifts together to teach ourselves from texts how to transfigure into animagii... then had to fake that we didn't already know what we were doing when we took the class in order to be legally registered. Through thick and thin, we've always stuck by each other and had one another's back."[break][break]
Would you say you felt you had something to prove?[break][break]
"I'd say that's pretty accurate. Even though they tell me I shouldn't, I feel indebted to my parents and my family for all they've given me. And I feel that I owe it to them to succeed and do well, and to bring (further) accolade to the family name. There's absolutely nothing I wouldn't do for them."[break][break]
And what of the girls? Is there a special someone in your life?[break][break]
"There has always been only one. Well, that's not wholly accurate; there were others before, but there has always been only one that mattered. Madison Entwistle is the celestial being that I orbit around, I was hooked almost immediately, but didn't appreciate how much I truly cared for her until it was too late - and she was dating my best friend. For a time my heart was in knots. I wanted to be happy for them, especially because they were two of my closest friends; but having to see them together, while I played fifth-wheel with my unrequited feelings... it killed me."[break][break]
But our records show you're currently dating Ms. Entwistle.[break][break]
"I never said I wasn't resolute. And it certainly wasn't an easy road to hoe, even after Madison and James broke it off. For the longest time I was convinced that she didn't feel the same way that I did. Though, looking back now, I like to think that the trials we went through in order to be together are only further proof that we are fated to be. I know in my heart of hearts that she is who I'm meant to be with forever, and that I'm not complete without her."[break][break]
So is that why you're in-training to be an Auror, because Ms. Entwistle is already one among their ranks?[break][break]
"I've wanted to be an auror since childhood; it just felt right to me. I'll admit that the reasons I wanted it weren't really my own originally; that's to say, working at the Ministry of Magic has always been viewed highly in our family, and Auror even higher. It seems out of place, I know. James and I were mischief-makers and rule-breakers as kids, so what would possess me to want to become the Wizarding equivalent of a cop? It just clicked. I'm a natural detective, I suppose. But really, no matter the reasons I may have had in the past for steering me in the direction I've gone, I've never been more confident than I am now that it's a path I was destined for."[break][break]
And what is your take on this whole blood politics business?[break][break]
"This may be a precursory question, but really? You're asking me this? As if the last name didn't make my position clear enough, I'm a card-carrying member of the Order of the Phoenix - alright, so we don't actually have membership cards, but you get the gist. I don't even know what my blood status is and I don't really care. We're all people, some of us magic, some others aren't. I've had the unique opportunity to see firsthand that we should be judged on our hearts, not the nature of the blood pumping through them. That's a position I'm more than willing to stand and fight to defend."[break][break]
That's actually really well put. Thank you. On a lighter note, what sorts of activities do you engage in to blow off steam?[break][break]
"Let me tell you, auror training doesn't leave you with a lot of free time to just up and leave on holiday or go out the night on a bender. Believe me, I've tried and suffered the consequences. I like being in the company of others, so really I'm fairly flexible in that regard. I'm at home in most social settings, dress robes or street clothes, off at one of James' pro matches or out of country perusing wizard and muggle arts alike. If I do have a shortcoming, it's probably that I'm not quite so in my element... out in the elements. It's not for lack of trying, my family and especially my father are actually avid campers. It's not even that being out in nature doesn't suit me. I just feel a bit out of sorts out there, except when I'm transformed as a falcon and flying high above the tree-line. About the only truly beneficial thing to come out of our camping holidays (the family bonding and whatnot aside), was discovering that I have the ability to talk to dragons. That might not seem like the most practical skill to some, given that you don't exactly run into dragons on the street like you do dogs or cats. But in the event that you do run into a dragon, wouldn't you be grateful for being able to at least try to reason with it?"[break][break]
Anything else pertinent you feel the need to divulge?[break][break]
"I like peas? Not sure how pertinent it is, but it's true I'm actually not all that keen on fried foods either; odd I know, especially for someone English, but it is what it is."
Might we start with your name in full and all the pertinents?[break][break]
