Emma Watson Oneshots and Imagines Book Three

Interview

(Buckle up everyone, this is a long one. 2500+ words and the longest oneshot throughout my oneshots books and I hope you enjoy!)

"So Emma, your UN speech went well." The interviewer started, and Emma nodded. "I know! It was shocking! I was so surprised it had gone so well!" She shared.

"So, what's next, what are your goals for the future?" The interviewer asked. "I don't know, just keep spreading the word and getting people to start speaking up more about feminism I guess." Emma responded.

"How did your speech writing go? Was that easy to write or was that a bit hard?" The interviewer questioned. "Well, knowing what to write wasn't hard. I was very passionate about the topic and I had so much I wanted to say and I just had to fit it all in there. Finding the time to write it was the hard part actually. You know, having a very rambunctious and energetic toddler who refuses to sleep unless he's gotten three bedtime stories read to him keeps me pretty busy. During the day I would be taking care of him and by the time he was asleep for the night I was so tired that I would just instantly fall asleep the minute I was sitting down anywhere comfortable and no writing got done! And I still do that! Half the time I fall asleep in the rocking chair in his room because I'm just so tired! I had to make (Y/n) take him to set for a few hours every so often so I could just sit down and write it." Emma recalled.

"And where is your son now? Did you make (Y/n) take him?" The interviewer asked. "He's with my mum. (Y/n)'s there too and they're just hanging out together. I obviously couldn't have brought my son with me, we would have just been trying to get him to sit down this entire time. He would just be running around the entire place. Ever since he learned how to walk he goes everywhere he can. He's fast too, like he can run pretty fast for a two year old. He has that classic toddler run where it's not like a waddle and it looks like he's doing high knees but he's running. It's very cute to watch but he is very fast." Emma shared while laughing. "But yeah he's with (Y/n) and my mum and I know they will take really good care of him, except my mum does fill him up with sugar because she loves to spoil him with that kind of stuff so I don't know how I'm going to get anything done after this. I barely had time to get my notes in order this morning." She added.

"That does seem a bit hard. Thank god for (Y/n) and your mum. But at least you knew what to write when you were preparing? That's good right?" The interviewer added. "Yeah, it was very meant to be. I was clearing out my childhood bedroom a few months ago and found essays I've written and diary entries I've written when I was fifteen. I can sort of see with hindsight that speech had sort of been stirring up in my head for a long time. And I never thought I'd be working for the UN and it was just amazing. It was a really good experience." She shared.

"What were some things when you were a kid that you never realized were wrong but like thinking back on it now you're like 'yeah that might have been not right' are there any of those?" The interviewer wondered.

"I mean I've been incredibly lucky. I really have been supported and had access to just a lot of opportunities that women in other countries probably aren't, you know like I would never complain about my personal situation. But, gosh, I guess it's just, I think it starts young. I think it starts really young with girls and boys being told what they have to be and it can just be really damaging. It's difficult because I have been really fortunate and you know I think I just, encourage and include each other. Don't try to ostracize each other and just have an open mind and don't have expectations based on the gender and all the sex you see in front of you." Emma told him.

"And even my son too, gosh I bring him up in every conversation we have but I can't help it for some reason, but I will be like online getting him clothes since he grows out of everything very fast and then nothing fits and then he doesn't have clothes that fit, but like I'll see very gendered clothes too. Like there will be like trucks and dinosaurs and all of those things on the boy clothes that are always the color blue, but then the girl clothes have like princesses and it'll all be pink or purple or colors that people associate with girls. It's very stereotypical and seeing those just makes me think like they start these stereotypes and gender assumptions very very young" She added.
