“Hi! My name is James Potter, I am 21 years old and I am training to be a doctor.””Where are you from?” “I’m from London.” “Ok, how long was your last relationship?” James let’s out a nervous laugh “My last real relationship was back when I was 17, it lasted 2 years but I decided to break it off because he just wasn’t right for me.”“He?””Im bisexual.” “Something wrong with that?” James narrows his eyes at the interviewer and try’s to raise an eyebrow but fails. “No of course not, we just need clarification” “Why have you come onto Love island then?” To find Love.” James laughs awkwardly. “Well obviously I’m here to find love the show has the word love in the name.” “Could you please expand your reason James” “Right, yes of course.” “Um, well I guess my love life hasn’t really taken off yet you know?” “I’ve only seriously dated once and I never really felt anything special whilst dating the lad.” “I want to find someone who’s easy to be around, good looking and actually likes me.”“Ok James, thank you for answering all my questions.” “I just have one last thing to ask you, what would be your type on paper?””Um, well I’ll be honest with you, I’m a bit of a mummy’s boy so I’d like someone who has a good connection to their family.” “Also I’d like someone kind, I’m not attracted to the whole mysterious grumpy persona some people put on to try and impress me.” “I mean obviously I’d like someone who looks good but that’s not a priority to me because I think it’s all about what’s within, you know?” “Ok thank you James that should be enough footage for today.” “If you just wanna head out those doors there should be someone waiting for you to take you where you need to go.” “Thank you very much.” James looks straight into the camera. “Love you mum.” He blows a kiss before being ushered out. Before entering, Remus Lupin manages to knock over a vase, hit his head on the ceiling, and bump into someone carrying coffees. Remus stands outside the interviewing room and takes a moment to prepare himself. He leans against the door so he can think about what to say. The door isn’t shut properly so when Remus leans onto the door it opens against his weight and he comes crashing in, falling onto the floor. He quickly stands up and brushes himself off, face the same shade as a tomato.”I meant to do that.” the interviewer sighs and gestures for Remus to sit down.“Quite an entrance you made there.” “It’s not my fault the door wasn’t shut.” Remus mutters with a sullen look on his face.”You broke a glass.” The interviewer says, pointing at shards of broken glass on the floor.”Whoops” “Let’s get started shall we?””Yeah whatever” “Ok state your name, age, where you live, and what your job is.””Why’d you need to know where I live?” “Please just answer the question” “My name is Remus Lupin, I’m 21 years old, I live in Manchester and I’m a teacher.” “Why have you come onto love island?””For the money.””You can’t say that.” “What am I meant to say then?” “I haven’t even watched the bloody show before how am I meant to know?”“Just say you came here for love or something” “I have come here for love.”“Please expand Remus.” “Christ.” “I’ve come here because I want to find the love of my life, I want to make friends and have fun.” “I also want to win the money.” “Happy”The interviewer rolls his eyes “You could have said more but that’s ok I guess.” “Last question, what’s your type.” “Tall dark n handsome please.” “Ok, thank you Remus.” “Please don’t break anything on your way out.” Remus smiles, thanks the interviewer and stumbles out.”

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Alecto Carrow violently pushes open the door, knocking into someone as she strides in. She slumps onto the chair and glares at the interviewer. “Well, get on with it then” “Right, yes um” the interviewer stutters, clearly intimidated by her presence.”Please state your name, age, occupation, and where you live.””Alecto Carrow, 25 years old, I don’t need a job, and I’m from London…Westminster by the way, not the shabby parts” “Well um, thank you Alecto, if you don’t mind me asking, why do you not need a job” Alecto rolls her eyes and sarcastically smiles at the flustered interviewer.”Because I’m rich as fuck, obviously”The interviewer widens his eyes and turns a deep shade of red.”Oh um yes ok, now, why have you come on Love Island?” “So I can find a man who I can carry on the Carrow bloodline with.” “Would it be possible for you to say something a bit more romantic?” “Your answer was great don’t get me wrong but my manager will be upset if I don’t get you to say something more positive.”“Yeah yeah ok” “I’m here to find a man that I can have a future with, I want to find someone with the same passions as me. “Thank you Alecto, Last question, how would you describe your dream partner in three words?” “Rich, manipulative, and handsome.” “That’s not quite what I meant but that’s ok I suppose.” Peter Pettigrew gently pushes open the door and smiles timidly at the interviewer. “Hi, is it ok if I come in?””Yeah of course, take a seat Peter.” “Can you please state your name, age, occupation and where you live.” “My names Peter Pettigrew, I am 21 years old, I work in a bank, and I live just on the outskirts of London.”“Ok, thanks Peter, why have you come onto this show?””Um, I have come here because my love life back home isn’t going too well so I just thought I’d give this a shot and see how it goes.””Sounds good, so, I have to know, are you excited?” “Yeah mate, I’m absolutely bizzin.””Bizzin?”Yeah, you know, bizzin.” “It means excited I see people say it all the time on here.””You mean buzzin.””Oh””Right, anyways.” The interviewer stifles a laugh and clears his throat. “What would you say your type would be?” “Pretty, kind, and funny.”“Ok Peter, thank you for coming, it’s been great having you and I will see you in the villa.” Severus Snape knocks on the door and quickly pushes it open. He eyes the room, sniffs, and narrows his eyes.”Hello” Severus drawls, a judgemental look plastered on his face.”Hi, you must be Severus, please take a seat.”Severus eyes the seat carefully before lowering himself onto it.”Ok please look into the camera and say your name, age, occupation, and where you live.”Severus huffs and death stares the camera. “My name… Is Severus snape, I am 22 years old. I work as a professor and I live in Wales.””Ah that’s nice, I’m from Wales too.” “Where you born there? I’m not detecting any Welsh accent.” Severus does not take his eyes off the camera but expresses his annoyance clearly. He crosses his arms with a dramatic scoff and says in an overly sarcastic voice. “No. I’m not from Wales, people can live there without having lived there for their whole lives you know?”The interviewer raises an eyebrow and crosses his arms defensively.”Alright mate, only asking”“Ok, If you had to describe yourself in 3 words, what would they be?”“What kind of question is that?”“Please just answer the question Severus.””Funny, handsome, perfect.””That’s believable” Severus gives the interviewer a deadly look, finally taking his eyes off the camera.” “Final question for you Severus.””How long was your last relationship?” “I’ve never been in a relationship.” “Oh… ok fair enough.” Severus flashes the interviewer one last distasteful look before sauntering out, leaving the interviewer contemplating his life decisions.
