Um.
I need some advice.
Last Sunday I had to go to meet two Aurors who came up to Hogwarts for a YPL presentation. I got a letter at supper Saturday telling me to meet them on Sunday. So I did, and it was about my being nominated for an internship with them during hols. I was nominated by Desai, who was head of CCF last summer along with Dolohov. Professor Dolohov also gave me a strong evaluation, I think, and they had statements from the enforcers who came out to Stretton's farm last summer the night Sally Anne and I caught those thieves trying to steal plants out of the fields.
Anywiz. I was as surprised as you'd guess, so I don't know how I did in the interview. They weren't really impressed with my marks, but they said my OWLs were alright. I really don't know anything else about it yet besides that they said certain students with strong aptitude (that's what they said, really) sometimes get invited to intern with the Aurors over Christmas hols. Sandoval said that's how she got her first introduction to the department. She was one of the people who interviewed me, I mean, and she said this is a way to get a foot in the door that could boost chances of getting accepted to the training programme. They said the next training class is likely to be formed two summers from now, which is why they're looking at current NEWT students.
So. Maybe nothing'll come out of this. Because I'm not ranked highly enough, probably, and I only got the one O in Defence. But I did take the interview seriously, and I tried to make them think I was honoured, and, um, I did try to make it sound like I'd always wanted to grow up and become an Auror, reading all the comics, and the Auror Brightwand books, which I did read some of--once I got to school, mostly, but I made it sound as if I'd really liked them.
Do you think I should do it if they invite me to apply for this internship? Professor Dumbledore, I know I'd have to be solid with Occlumency for it to be worth risking.
I'm not sure when I'll hear, but maybe tomorrow since today's the first of the month and tomorrow's Monday. I thought about waiting and only saying anything about it if I actually hear back from them, but then I guess I don't know how much time they'll give me to decide.
