1. What was your first incident of magic and how old were you?
"I was eight years old. I made a balloon inflate all on it's own," Adam said into his arm as he flicked a spinning top and watched it spin around on the desk until it fell back onto the wood and he smiled a humourless smile, looking back up to you. "Just kidding-I never had it."
2. Do you believe in love at first sight?
"I don't know? I'm not exactly at an age to be in love. Maybe we do have that one big love or something. I don't know. Maybe we don't even realise it. We can feel every other emotion can be felt at first sight-fear, hate, happiness-why not love? It can be platonic love, too. Love's a broad word. Maybe try being more specific with what you mean next time."
3. What is one activity that helps wind you down? Alternatively, what is one activity that does the opposite to you? Is there more than one, if so-what?
"Ah, so you assume I have a hobby. That's what everyone's meant to have, right? Something they're good at? Or waste their time on?" Adam said as he leant over to stand the spinner upright and flick it again. "It's boxing. I got into it a few months ago and I haven't stopped. Also...look, I play a little chess. It's interesting and it makes you think. I know, nerdy. But who gives a toss? And a lot of things wind me up. Lets not stay here for the entire day."
4. Were you close with your family growing up? If not-why?
"There are enough people in my family that if you didn't get along with one of them, you can find someone else to get along with. It wasn't hard. When you argued with someone, you just had to change your location and boom-another sibling appeared that you can muck around with. I would say we were close, yes. But we have such a large family...relationships differ between each sibling. I don't have the time to go through each one with you."
5. Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Adam shrugged as he heard the question and tossed the spinner into the air before trying to catch it. He didn't, it slipped through his fingers and clattered onto the ground. "Dunno. Singing ABBA in a sequined one suit and blue moon boots on top of a bar table? Yeah, I can see that happening. My parents are going to be so proud of me."
6. What were you like growing up?
Adam grew sombre at this question and he waved his hand in the air. "Doesn't matter, does it? He's pretty much gone now, isn't he? He grew up. Why does it matter? I was a stupid child, like everyone else. I wanted to be like everyone else around me. Go to some magical school, find a partner, get a job, have kids, grow old. I wasn't like anything. I-" Adam was getting worked up and he stopped himself, sitting back in his chair. "I wasted my hours on a broom stick that hovered on its own. I played with my abundance of siblings. I cried when I scraped my knee. I was nothing out of the ordinary. I was a normal kid."
7. What was your childhood dream? Why so? And why did it change? "Man, why are you so hard for my childhood? Why does it matter?" He said, exasperated and swung back on his chair, risking falling back and falling onto the ground. Who knew if he cared. "I didn't have one. I didn't like thinking about my future so I never had a dream career. Happy now?" Adam wanted to be a ministry worker. He wanted to help change the world around him for the better. He wanted to be like his mum.
8. If you’re not native to the UK, where were you born and how did you end up in the UK?
"I was born and raised in the United States of America. The land of the free. Supposedly. I moved to the UK with my family. They could see the writing on the wall and wanted to get out. That's the official reason, anyway. We all know we came to the UK to get away from it all after what happened to, you know, me. I guess after watching your kid get kidnapped and held for ransom, you're not really interested in staying in the same place. So we came to the UK to start with a clean slate. No one will admit to it, but we all know I was the reason we moved. It ruined so many things, mind you. The move. Both my brother's lost their relationships over it. God knows if anyone else is happy. So yeah, that's how I ended up in the UK. I f-cked it up for everyone so our parents dragged us to this place."
9. Would you rather have endless money or endless amount of love? why?
"Endless amounts of love. Money won't buy you everything, contrary to popular belief. Then again, I say that as if my life once didn't rely on my parents have endless amount of cash to save my life. But then again, no one asks that question literally, do they? The practical option is always the former but I'd rather have been shot in that warehouse if it meant I lost the latter." Adam paused and scratched the back of his neck. "I like Wordsworth, okay? I think love just drives a lot of things in the world. Do I think true love exists? Not really. But endless amounts of love can make everything worth it."
10. What are people’s usual first impressions of you? Are they correct?
"People see my parent's first. They see my mum was a big important ministry worker in the US so therefore I must be the most spoilt asshole you'll ever see. Then they remember which one of her children I am. The squib that was held for ransom. Then they think 'the spoilt rich brat got what was coming for him'. And then after that...well, that's not their first impression, it's their third. And by that point, they've already built a snapshot of me."
11. What is your most vivid memory? This doesn’t have to be a good or bad memory.
"Before a year ago, the answer would have been different. I would have said the previous day, another before is a blur. You know, a lot of people say that when you go through something traumatic, it becomes a blur. You don't remember it...but I do. I remember it in absolute perfect clarity. From when I was walking down that street. The impact of being knocked out. Being in that warehouse. I remember it all. I remember it all. I can still remember what they smelled like. One smelt like fish and the other smelt like...smelt like herbal tea. I can't stand the smell of either anymore, let alone consume it. Last time I ate fish I was bent over a toilet for a good hour."
12. When was the last time you cried?
Adam stared at you, his chest rising up and down before he looked away. "I didn't cry during it, you know? They taunted me. Told me I was going to be crying for my mummy and daddy. But I didn't. I didn't cry. But I cried the first night I was free. In that hospital room. I couldn't stop. I couldn't stop. No matter how much I tried to. I cried until I had nothing left inside of me."
13. Do you believe people can be given a second chance?
"Yes, actually, I do. I believe people should be given a second chance to learn what they did wrong and grow from it. If they do it again, well...f-ck them, right? Of course, it depends on what they did. I won't ever give those assholes who kidnapped me a second glance. Not that they caught them. But still."
14. Do you have instances in your past that you’d prefer not to tell people?
"I'd prefer not to tell anyone anything. But it's pretty much believed that my life has been public property so I don't really have the opportunity to keep anything to myself. I won't ever tell anyone who my first crush was, though." He was thirteen and it was his mum's personal trainer. He was the most gorgeous man you can ever lay eyes on and Adam spent his mornings watching him through the window, ignoring his other work.
Squibs
1. When did you realise you were a squib?
"When I was ten years old and my parent's sat me down. I never came to the conclusion myself, I just assumed I was a late bloomer or that the letter was lost in the mail somewhere. They sat me down and told me I wasn't going to Ilvermorny and that I'd be spending all year with them."
2. How did your family and those around you react to it?
"You know? Well. My parent's made it a thing that I was going to get special one on one time with them, which was a big thing when you were one of a hundred with parent's working such demanding jobs. I was never intentionally made to feel left out."
3.What aspect of the magical world are you most jealous of?
"How easy it is to protect themselves. If I had magic, I could have gotten myself out of that warehouse before anything happened. How easy it is to live their lives. I know a lot of squibs choose to live in the muggle world because they feel less powerless there. I can see why."
