THE SCARS OF YOUR LOVE
[/size]remind me of us - - - - - -[/center]
[/justify][/size]Just for the record would you mind stating your name?
Um, sure. Castor Higbee. If you don’t mind my asking, why am I here again?
This is an interview, Mr. Higbee. I’m interviewing you.
Okaaaaaay. I still don’t understand, but hey, let’s go with it. You got any questions for me?
Cauldrons full. Let’s start with something simple: where did you grow up?
I grew up in London, England.
What was life like growing up?
Um, it was normal I guess? I don’t know. Living through it, I wasn’t very aware of how financially unstable my family was. Mum was a single mother, y’see, who worked two jobs trying to raise my siblings and me. I didn’t realize how bad off we were until I started coming to Hogwarts and all of the pureblooded, old money families flaunted their wealth. But it doesn’t really bother me; I’ll always remember my childhood home as cozy, and my mother as loving and hardworking, doing the best that she could to provide for us.
If you don’t mind my asking, what happened to your dad?
He, um, he died.
I’m so sorry to hear that. How did it happen?
He was on the subway when the bombing happened in 2005. My mother was pregnant with me and my brother at the time, about six or seven months along. Dad had taken my sister out to go shopping for something- probably clothes or something, since I’m told that he spoiled her- and they’d just been getting off of the subway when BAM! Everything just kinda exploded.
And your dad died? What about your sister?
Yeah, dad died. The blast knocked him to the ground and bashed his skull in. They said it was instantaneous; he didn’t feel a thing. My sister had already gotten off the train. She’d run out as soon as the doors opened while dad stayed behind to gather up the shopping bags. When the blast went off, she was far enough away to avoid any major physical injuries. The explosion, uh, the explosion just knocked her hearing all out of whack. Destroyed her one ear drum. Look, could we change the subject?
Oh, sure. Castor’s an interesting name. How’d you get it?
…. My mother gave it to me? How else do you think I’d get my name, silly?
…
Fine, I’ll play along. My dad was a professor before he died. He taught several mythology courses, and was a major fan of the Roman myths. He thought they were underappreciated, lost in the shadow of their Greek counterparts. So when he and mum found out that mum was carrying twin boys, he pleaded with her to name the children Castor and Pollux, after the twins. Mum refused, claiming that he’d already gotten to fulfill his mythological fetish when she let him name our sister Ponoma. But then he died, and when it came time to write our names on the birth certificates she couldn’t remember any of the numerous other names she’d suggested that he’d halfheartedly turned down.
That’s so sad-
You keep saying that…
- so why don’t we move on to something less tragic. What house are you in?
Hufflepuff. It makes sense, if you know me- I’m fiercely loyal to those I care about, hardworking when it comes to getting something I want. I’m open-minded and patient.
Anything else?
Um… I’m gay. It’s no big secret, if that’s what you were aiming for; everyone’s known since I got kinda drunk on firewhiskey on a Hogsmeade trip and kissed the guy I like. It was a little awkward, considering he was straight and obviously did not appreciate my affections. Ah, I’m usually not this grumpy. Hell, I’m usually not grumpy at all. Everyone says I’m either a big bundle of sunshine or a giant, ferocious teddy bear. I think they’re right- I’m always peppy and happy, and I go out of my way to try and cheer people up when they’re down. It just seems like you’ve managed to find the one thing that makes me gloomy and… not me.
