Lihou sat down behind her desk and looked at the latest CV, it was fairly impressive. It seemed this applicant knew about what he wanted to teach. She heard a knock on the door and said, "Come in."
She saw it was the applicant, a Ronald Gumbligger, he looked a little nervous.
"Sit down" she said motioning to the chair on the otherside of her desk.
"So Mr Gumbligger, I've seen your CV, it's quite impressive, which is why you are here. Now I have a few questions, just to get to know you a little better. So tell me, why did you decide to move from being a Care of Magical Creatures teacher at a school, to being a Magizoology Professor at a University?"

Ronald entered the office and sat as he had been instructed by the Headmistress. He was wearing his finest suit as he wanted to make a good impression. He smiled at the mention of his CV being good and listened closely expecting a question soon enough. She asked it and he spent a few seconds running the answer through his head before replying. "Well you see, I have been dealing with younger students for several years now, and frankly, there is only so much of them you can take!" He let out his usual hearty chuckle. "I am coming here in hope of finding more mature students who actually have a passion for learning about magical creatures. I think it will be much more interesting to teach." He was satisfied with his answer and hoped that the Headmistress would be also.

Lihou smiled, he was right, there was only so much of younger students anyone could take. "Alright, now apart from Magical Creatures and teaching, do you have any other interests?" she asked.

Ronald pondered on the question for a moment. What were his interests? As far back as he could remember, he had been obsessed with animals, nothing else. "Well, I'm really just an animal fanatic! I've never really took much interest in anything other than the fascinating creatures that roam ourworld, to be quite truthful. However there is one other thing I am fond of, Quidditch. I used to play on the university team back in my younger days, and I love attending the World Cup as a spectator." He had answered the question shortly but efficiently.

Lihou smiled and nodded, she really could not think of anything else to ask him, his resume answered all her questions about his skills and knowledge, then it hit her. "One final question, would you consider yourself a more theoretical person, or more practical,when it comes to animals?"

"Well, Miss Shen, I can say I definitely prefer the practical side of things. But then again, who doesn't? But when it comes to magizoology, the theory component is rather important and, if I am selected as a professor, a good percentage will be theory. Because, as the saying goes, you have to put theory into practice, but how can you do that without first knowing the theory!" The professor let out a soft chuckle.

"Very True, very true." she paused and looked at her notes, "Well I think that's all I need to know, I'll get back to you as soon as possible with my decision Mr Gumbligger." she said, "You can go now." she said, she watched him leave the room and smiled to herself.
Ok, the interview is finished, the Headmaster and I need to discuss your application, and I will PM you the decision asap.
