Auror Admission Test

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
 * Brook Sutcliffe
 * 28 years old
 * Hogwarts/Ravenclaw

1. Give a reason why you wish to be an Auror:
 * "Because I miss it and I want to give it my best shot again. But why not? The career helps protect people and society and whatnot. Like, that is a sufficient enough reason really. Plus, it gives people such an esteemed position in society. People respect aurors."

2. State two of your greatest relevant magical abilities:
 * "Wandless magic? That is surely a relevant ability. I've been using it since I was fifteen and though I'm not perfect at it, I've been practising it for over a decade so I think I'm pretty okay at it. I'm also quite adept at non verbal magic, but I have to my wand for that, you know?"


 * "I am good at potions. I make them regularly enough and that can transcribe to being an auror."

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 have previous experience in this very ministry. I'm already in the know of how this place works. You wouldn't need to train me because I've already been trained. I'm optimistic and I'm versatile. And I'm a people's person. There is not a person in the world who doesn't get along with me. I can work with groups and I do my best to get the job done."
 * DADA-EE
 * Potions-O
 * Transfiguration-O
 * Charms-O
 * Herbology-EE
 * Arithmacy-EE
 * Muggle Studies-O
 * "Intelligence division. Though, I'd be happy to be in the Hit Division as well. Wherever I'm needed most, really. I'm not fussed. As I've said, I'm versatile."

Part Two

'''1. If you saw someone, under suspicion only of being a dark wizard, what would you do? Why would you do so?'''
 * "Well, obviously, I won't go straight up to him and arrest him. I'd need sufficient evidence first in order to move forward. If there is sufficient evidence then I would either try to take him down or call for back up. Depends on how serious the situation is. If I believe it's over my head, then I'd report him to my superior. Of course, the prime situation would be that they come willingly. Why can't they just hand themselves in?"

'''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? '''
 * "Oh, definitely them. The group of people are worth more than I ever would be and deserve to live."

3. If you are dying in battle, what would you ensure before your demise?
 * "I'd try to make sure I take down whoever took me down with me. Oh, and maybe try to say my goodbyes. It depends the situation, really, and how much time I have left. I'd try to protect those innocent and my colleagues if I could, too."
