Auror Admission Test Please put your username or signature here! Leave your responses in the provided bullets unless otherwise specified.

(Prerequisite Subjects at Hogwarts - DADA, Potions, Charms, Transfiguration, Herbology)

Name: Age: House/School:
 * Marcus Morales
 * 33
 * Ilvermorny/Wampus

Part One

1. Give a reason why you wish to be an Auror: 2. State two of your greatest relevant magical abilities: 3. What characteristics make you a better candidate than others? 4. What are your NEWT qualifications?
 * I was an Auror in America for about 9 years before I transferred here to England, and I've been working off jobs to make ends meet but I miss being an Auror. I believe I can bring something to England from my experience in America.
 * I'm proficient in wandless magic as well as non-verbal magic.
 * I know how to control my temper and I've learned to be patient. From working as an Auror in America I've learned how to act first and ask questions later, especially in a situation where there isn't time to think and plan out your move. I know when to act, even in circumstances that one would hesitate in.
 * DADA = O
 * Potions = O
 * Charms = O
 * Transfiguration = O
 * Herbology = E

'''5. If accepted, which subdivision are you most interested in and why? (Patrol Division, Intelligence Division, Hit Division)'''
 * Well, as an Auror Trainer I would have to train Aurors for whatever subdivision they'll be put in. So, I don't really know how to answer this.

Part Two

'''1. If you saw someone, under suspicion only of being a dark wizard, what would you do? Why would you do so?''' '''2. If you were on a mission for the Ministry to rescue a group of wizards taken captive, and could either save yourself or the captives, who would you save? '''
 * In a situation like this, I would have to follow them in order to make sure that it was the right suspect and to see if they did anything worth being arrested for or apprehended. I couldn't act on just a suspicion, because that could lead to disastrous consequences
 * I would save the captives. My life is put on the line every day to save and protect others, and I am there to make sure they survive. One life against a handful of others is nothing, especially if those lives are young.

3. If you are dying in battle, what would you ensure before your demise?
 * If I was dying in battle, and I'm being honest, I would use an Unforgivable Curse if I was fighting against a dark wizard. I couldn't die knowing they got away, or that they got away unharmed.

Part Three

Auror Training Ideas

 * 1) Like in Men In Black, have cardboard cut outs of muggles and wizards and have the aurors try to distinguish which is which in a heated and stressful moment/battle
 * 2) Have a real life simulation with wizard citizens to help the Aurors have a real-life experience without putting anyone in danger. Creating a small simulation with wizards acting as dark wizards and others as muggles, etc.
 * 3) C.O.P.E courses to build trust and team-work with the Aurors, allowing them to gain some friendships in the field
 * 4) Dueling with one another in specific circumstances that are simulated. (i.e. Nighttime with rain, in a crowded area, one auror against a group of "dark wizards", one auror down/injured with their partner)
 * 5) Having the Aurors train with handicaps (i.e. Can't see, Can't hear, one arm/hand injured, bound, captured, etc.)
