Interview with Rehema Voss
By: Emma Felton

Emma Felton: Well, let’s get down to business shall we? What inspired you to become a counselor at Hogwarts?
Rehema Voss: Well, I just graduated from Aberdeen University, a Muggle college, with a degree in school psychology and just decided, might as well try and apply for a job at Hogwarts! It’s always been a dream of mine to work here after school.
Emma Felton: Yes, Hogwarts is a very wonderful school. Well, all day you probably listen to the problems of students. Tell me, what’s the hardest thing for you about being a counselor? How do you address that?
Rehema Voss: Well, the hardest thing is when the students really don’t know what they want to be or do after school. Sometimes people just haven’t thought of life after Hogwarts, and its hard to bring them back to reality. It can be difficult to find out interests and possible careers and futures for someone who hasn’t thought about it at all. But normally I suggest they think it over more, what interests them, what they enjoy about their life.
Emma Felton: What have you most enjoyed about your job here thus far?
Rehema Voss: I love the point when it all clicks together for a student, and they have a plan. You can almost see the gears grinding, and then there is something in the eyes, and it all makes sense for them.
Emma Felton: I bet the students feel more accomplished at that point too. So, what do you think is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you so far here at Hogwarts?
Rehema Voss: Oh gosh. Nothing really comes to mind! Well, my first day I slept in late and almost missed my very first appointment, but no one noticed, so it was more of a personal embarrassment!
Emma Felton: Interesting. So I’m sure sometimes you feel frustrated when provoked, what are some things you do to help you cope?
Rehema Voss: Well, a cup of peppermint tea and good novel has brought me through many a difficult times. And when I was at University I became rather obsessed with muggle sitcoms on the television.
Emma Felton: So you’re Muggleborn, correct?
Rehema Voss: No actually, both my parents are magical. They were rather shocked by my decision to masquerade as a Muggle while at college. But I felt very strongly about Psychology and an education, and the best way to do that was at a Muggle school.
Emma Felton: True. So before, you said you enjoy a good novel and Muggle sit-coms? What would you say is your most favourite novel and sitcom?
Rehema Voss: Well, you cant beat the classics, and I’ve always adored Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I cant really name a favorite sitcom, I watched so many, I did always enjoy the ones centered around hospitals. I find Muggle medicine very interesting and probably funnier then it is supposed to be!
Emma Felton: Well, on behalf of the Hogwarts students I wish you welcome to Hogwarts! I hope you’re here for many terms to come. Is there anything else you’d like the readers to know?
Rehema Voss: Thank you, I hope to be here for a while also. Just that my door is always open if they need anything!
