Leave your responses in the provided bullets unless otherwise specified.

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

Name: Age: House/School: Part One
 * Kingston Paea
 * Nineteen Years-Old
 * Hogwarts Graduate; Gryffindor Alumni

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)'''
 * "I've always had the desire to make an impact in the world, it was just a matter of how big of one I wanted to make. I had wanted to do it through being a teacher but that soon morphed into a muggle policeman and, when I was in third year, I opened myself up to the possibility of becoming an Auror and that's where my dreams have rested ever since. I want to become an Auror so I can help people to the best capacity that I can, especially in turbulent times both present and future."
 * "I'd say my greatest magical ability is my knowledge and execution of offensive spells. Though admittedly I feel as if my defensive spells could do with some work, my offensive spells have always been of an impeccable standard. I've managed to conjure some powerful spells during my time at Hogwarts - in particular, my Reducto has been cited as being fairly proficient. Along with those spells, I'd say transfiguration spells are also up there within my calibre of skills. Transfiguration was easily my favourite subject at school and it is the subject I poured the most of my time and effort into. In recent times I've began to inquire into perfecting the art of being an Animagus, though I have yet to truly throw myself into that skill."
 * "Without relying on the cliches, I'd say being sorted into Gryffindor is an testament to the courage and bravery I've always exhibited since I could crawl. Never have I hesitated in throwing myself into a situation where I felt I was needed and I have, and continue to, go out of my way to assist those around me who need it. Given the nature of the Hit Division in particular, I feel like this mentality of not being afraid to put oneself in harm's way for the benefit of others is among the greatest characteristics one can exhibit. As mentioned before, my proficiency with offensive spells and an adeptness in Transfiguration gives me an edge in my spells calibre that could prove to be useful in a variety of situations. Though I can be reserved and quiet, I know how to keep my cool and find that being calm is one of the greatest talents I possess - enabling me to assess situations critically and not make any rash decisions that would become regrettable."
 * "I received an O in DADA, Charms and Transfiguration, and an EE in Herbology and Potions."
 * "I would be most interested in the Hit Division. Whilst I'd be content in any of the departments, the Hit Division speaks the most to me due to the immediate help and benefit I can be doing for the people of the country. Also, I found myself to be decent at duelling and find researching and patrolling to be more menial tasks that make me lose my focus quicker, meaning the Hit Division would be of most interest to me."

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 make sure to be in a position where I could be aware of their presence; whether this be following them discreetly or hanging around an area that they've stopped in. I'd make note of their actions, mannerisms and anyone they seem to be conversing with and report anything to those above me and, subsequently, follow any orders they choose to give me. I'd make sure to remain calm, given as no crime has been proven to them, and do the job I had been hired to do."
 * "The captives without a second hesitation. As an Auror I know what I'd be putting myself into and, out of the two groups, wizards who have unjustly been taken as captives deserve saving more so than I do. Saving captives would be a sacrifice I'd be willing to make over and over again."
 * "I would ensure the safety of civilian
