It would be dead brilliant to be an Auror. I mean, to learn how to go about and not ever have anyone notice you, to be able to creep up on a target and watch them without them knowing you're there. Brilliant.

We've been talking about it since dinner, and the twins have some wizard ideas about disguises! And Bobolis said she'd done a parchment for Acton Professor Acton last year on concealment charms. She's planning to apply for the training programme, Bobolis is. She says not many people get in, and she figures they need more Gryffindors to apply, too, because you really need to not have a nervous personality if you're going to be a good Auror. Or a Hit Wizard. That'd be awesome, too.

I dunno what I want to be, this is only our second year! We've got loads of time to make up our minds, don't we?

Yeah, loads!

I mean, we haven't even chosen electives yet. I mean, maybe you're going to be a magical creature keeper like Charlie or Professor Brutka. Well, I dunno about dragons, 'cause you've got to like to fly and be pretty fast at it, too, but there are lots of creatures that need tending and jobs like that might be really great!

Or maybe you're going to be really good at Runes or Arithmancy or something. Who knows? Or, y'know, some people are just late bloomers--you still might turn out to be really good at Charms. I dunno. But I bet some day you'll just know what you want to do.

For me, it's kind of between Quidditch and something like being an Auror. I want to do something dead exciting--something that's not just sitting at a desk all day in some basement office, reading memos and letting cobwebs grow all around me.
