J.K. Rowling: gestures to a dusty manuscript "Fancy a peek at the treasure chest? But hush, no snooping, alright?"
grabs the manuscript and holds it out of reach Don't even think about flipping through the pages without permission!
rolls her eyes Seriously? You're not going to look at it? Fine, be that way. But when you start asking me questions about it, don't say I didn't warn you. puts the manuscript down
yes I won’t ask questions.
crosses her arms Fine. If you really want to stay uninvolved, I won't force you. But don't expect any spoilers or explanations from me!
leans back in her chair, smirking Alright then, if you're sure you're not missing out on anything.
raises an eyebrow Oh really? Then why did you come here in the first place?
I came because my friends forced me to come.
smirks Your friends forced you to come? Well, I hope they were more convincing than mine. They threatened to quit their job if I didn't show up.
oof I hate it when people use the threat of suicide or quitting a job to get me to do stuff.
sighs Yeah, I know the feeling. It's like they think blackmail is the only way to get through to me.
so why did you write this story?
leans forward, a spark of excitement in her eyes Well, you see, I've always been fascinated by the idea of hidden treasures and lost worlds.
like where’s your willow tree?
smiles nostalgically Ah, Willow Tree Lane holds a special place in my heart. It was the street where I grew up, and it's where many memories reside.
pauses, a shadow crossing her face But let's not dwell on the past. The true inspiration for this story came from a dream I had.
nods Yes, a vivid dream where I saw a hidden treasure chest overflowing with gold, jewels, and ancient artifacts.
grins mischievously But here's the twist - in my dream, the treasure chest had a mind of its own.
claps her hands excitedly Yes, it did! It started speaking to me, telling me tales of the magical creatures that guarded it.
stands up and paces the room Cool? Cool doesn't even begin to cover it! It was like stepping into a fantastical world where anything was possible.
stops pacing and looks at Stranger You wanna be there? Well, lucky for you, I've created a way for you to step into that world too. smirks
winks Oh, it's a little trick I've mastered called "immersion." You see, if you can imagine it, you can live it.
