Auror Admission Test -aste riea Leave your responses in the provided bullets unless otherwise specified.

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

Name: Age: House/School:
 * Aline Selwyn
 * 25
 * Hogwarts (Ravenclaw), Mahoutokoro

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? '''5. If accepted, which subdivision are you most interested in and why? (Patrol Division, Intelligence Division, Hit Division)'''
 * "Originally I didn't want to be an auror, actually, but in my fourth year that changed with the terrorist attacks on Hogsmeade. I was caught up in one, and it changed me: after it, I realised that I couldn't stand by and let others feel that kind of fear when I had a chance to stop it."
 * Potions: "Potions was by far my best subject at school, and I spent a lot of time perfecting my craft in free periods throughout my time at school."
 * Duelling: "I grew up with two duelling prodigies as siblings, so I was quite often used for target practice when they trained. As a result, I'm proficient with all kinds of offensive, and especially defensive, spells. I'd say I'm also quite creative with my spell combinations - I once won a duel using only household spells."
 * "I've always been a perfectionist since I was little, so I hate doing a less than perfect job in each task I'm given. This helps me, especially within the Intelligence Division, because it means I am very thorough in my research into suspects and in my gathering of information. I've always been good at keeping a level head in difficult situations, and I have a naturally analytical mind which allows me to spot patterns in suspect's behaviour and solve all manner of problems."
 * "I received an O in DADA, Potions, Charms and Transfiguration, and an EE in Herbology."
 * "Intelligence mostly, as that's what I've been doing the past few years, but I also have experience in the Hit Division so that would also be an option."

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?  3. If you are dying in battle, what would you ensure before your demise?'''
 * "I would tail them as best I can, without letting them know of my activities. As no crime would have been proven, I would simply report back to my superiors for orders but I would not make any move to apprehend the suspect unless I see them break the law."
 * "The captives, definitely. I knew the risks I took becoming an auror - the captives didn't have that same option, and it is our job as aurors to protect civilians, so they are more important."
 * "The safety of any civilians in the vicinity is paramount always, so I would ensure they are clear of any danger."

 * "Straight out of Hogwarts I trained to become an auror in Japan, then took up a position at the Ministry there as a Hit Witch. I kept that position until I was twenty-three, when I moved more towards the Intelligence side of things. I've been out of work for a month while returning to England in order to get everything in order."
