Division: Apparition Office
 

http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k1...er_apptest.png

The Apparition Office, a division within the Networking Section of the Department of Magical Transportation, is in charge of testing of-age witches and wizards for their abilities to apparate, an extremely useful skill that requires a license to perform. The division is also in charge of managing the usage of Apparition in and/or around Wizarding Britain. Employees of this Division should meet, discuss, and fix where needed with your Division Head, KatieTessa.

Employees:
Ingrid Johansson - KatieTessa
Charlotte Bennett - Lacarnum Inflamarae
Varus Arminius - Pro-Opera Jungian
Jayden Monroe - lilfox06

Micah laughed in a businesslike way. "You've only listed one of many flaws while using magical transportation." Micah took out an application form. "You do understand that apparition, at first, can be very unpleasant. And that it will be very difficult to get used to. I shall explain what it is like to apparate. When apparating, a very unpleasant squeezing sensation, as though being sent through a tight rubber tube will be felt, each and every time."

He smiled once again. "Since you are my very first applicant, I shall do the honors of filling out your application for you." He said, while smiling. "What is your full name, Mr...?"

"Mr...Dan...Weasley..." He scribbled on the parchment. He looked back to Mr. Weasley. "You answered my next question..." He said, while smiling. "How many times have you taken the test?" He asked.

As the two left, he grabbed a piece of parchment and took out his quill. He slowly wrote his application as he needed new copies.


He finished writing then swiped his wand out. He waved it and suddenly, 50 or so copies were made. He grabbed them all and straightened it out. He walked to a small plastic pocket where files could be kept, by the door. He put them in and went back to his desk.

He sat down and wrote a memo.

Quote:

Dear Magical Maintenance Department: No matter how much sugar I put in my coffee, it still tastes horrible! not one bit sweet! I demand we get better coffee! Cordially yours, Micah Nettings

He waved his wand at the memo and it went flying to the magical maintenance department.

Stacy Emma Ross new to the Ministry. Apologized to Micah for leaving the other day.. I had a bought of the flu coming on . Nothing serious.. Luckily it
was only 24 hours. I am so confused on what I need to do.. Can you help me..

Stacy was a bit confused. Micah which room is it that I meet you. I still need to fill out the necessary forms

ooc.. ( Hitachi, I had to log off,, I work midnight -8am and needed to sleep , I'll be back tomorrow)

Delilah realized that she hadn't been entirely clear with what she meant. "I'm afraid you've misunderstood me," she sympathized. "The coffee we bring in isn't for sharing with other departments. We either just bring in our own cupfull for the day or we bring in a bag to make in the coffeepot and share amongst the employees.

"So unfortunately, I can't bring any down for you," Delilah grimaced.

Just then, another member of the Apparation Test Division came into the center. Delilah stood up from the seat she'd perched upon. "I'm sorry about this," she said, stepping back from the chair and pushing it in. "It was quite nice to meet you."

"Again, I'm sorry," Delilah said sincerely. "Yes, I hope to see you in the near future." This was true; though the woman's visit was purely business, she'd come to the conclusion that Micah was a very nice person. Getting to know him outside of work would be delightful, Delilah thought. She needed some work friends.

With that, the woman slipped out the door.

Stacy noticed Dan a bit nervous if he passed or not.. I would be lucky just to be able to take the test she told him. I have been waiting for days. I am even thinking of transfering to a different department..

Hearing his slightly excitable new boss barking out orders, Charles took a seat and began to gaze around the office. He loved to peoplewatch. Quietly humming "God Rest Ye Merry Hippogriffs" to himself, he contentedly sat and twiddled his thumbs.

Stacy popped into the test center. Nothing seems to be going on here. We need to " drum up business". Stacy was thinking we need to show upcoming people who will be in our department that this is a fun department. So how to do this is going to be needing some thinking..

He looked up at his new boss and smiled. Having only recently passed the test himself, he knew how hard it was. He had never been good at taking tests of any kind, so he had barely passed. Actually, had had splinched his toenail during one of his trial runs, but the examiner hadn't noticed.

"A written test... Gee, I dunno. What kind of questions would be on it? The three D's? It doesn't seem like there is much theory to test with Apparition, just practical. Obviously if an applicant doesn't understand the theory behind it, they'll fail the practical. It seems like unnecessary paperwork."

Charles HATED paperwork.

Micah shifted his head towards his department head that was checking in. "Ahh, Ms. Lorraine! Everything is fine here. Just discussing about how we should test people... Is everything alright with you?" Micah asked.

Molly entered the room, nervous as never before. she walked over to a desk that looked welcoming and noticed a stack of papers with that said Apparation License Application in big bold letters. She filled it out with the following information:


Date:3/23/43
Name: Molly Anne
height: 5'4
weight: 105

Never taken the test!!!

Micah learned that there was an application he hadn't read. Wow... over 100 years old and never took the test? he thought. He quickly wrote a memo and sent it to Molly's division.

Molly was then excited extremely, she walked, unfortunately not being able to apparate yet, and heading to the testing room! she whispered to herself "it's about time"

Micah looked from his office table to Dan who had just came in. "Dan! I was just about to send you a letter but since you came personally.... I'd like to say congratulations! You've now earned a license!" Micah grinned at Dan and pulled out a large envelope. Inside it read:

Micah laughed and joked, "Well coffee that doesn't taste horrible would be nice! really Dan, you've earned it fair and square. My reward is the success of teaching you!" he said. "I'm glad you won't have to use the floo network, apparate well, and remember, only apparate when you need to." he told.

Alexandra looked around the room as she sat down and filled out the form quickly, she didn't have much time before her break was up.

Date: 4/11/65
Name: Alexandra Lee

Age: 19
Height: 5'3
Weight:120

Have you taken the test?: No



Signature here:
Alexandra A. Lee

Micah raced back into his office and tucked his wand beneath his dark blue robes. "Sorry, there's been a little problem back at the break room." he said, thinking about that nasty enlarged roach.

He passed the applicants and his employee to get to his chair. Micah smiled briefly at the three and took the application forms. He carefully analyzed them and nodded after he finished reading them.

"This parchment and quill is magically enhanced so that if you are lying, it will detect it. Since I see nothing wrong, you are both accepted to take the test!" he paused for a while and turned to his employee.

"Ahh Sky. Would you please escort these two, when and if they are ready, to the Apparition Test Room?" he asked. He smiled merrily at the three and stood to his feet. "I shall accompany you since I have not see you test anybody yet, just procedures you know." he added.

Sky watched as two applicants came in as she sat watching for Micah to come in. As he did her eyes followed him to his desk and she watched him reading the applications. When he addresed him, the brunette nodded as she stood up. "Are you two ready?" She asked the other two people in the room.

Rebecca walked into the room and filled out the slip on the table

She then sat down on a chair and waited for someone to call her

Nathan nodded politely at the wizard looking through his application. “No problem” he replied. He smiled nervously as Micah said that he and the young woman were accepted to take the test. He had apparated so many times in his life but the formal surroundings of this place were making him nervous.

He looked over at the other woman as Micah address her. Great, they were going to have an audience… just what he needed to boost his confidence… not.

He stood up at the same time as the woman, “I’m ready.” He replied, “Lead the way, love.”

Alexandra looked up from the newspaper she was reading, as she saw an official address her.

"Yes, I'm ready." She said as she stood up with her, tucking a strand of jet black hair behind her ear.

Molly walked in and sat down, she waited impatiently to be tested. Molly was excited, she had been embarrassed being part of the ministry and not being able to apparate, after all these years she had used floo powder, and many times failed with something even as simple as that. Floo powder had led her to many bad memories. she often ended up in muggle houses that were connected to the floo network for ministry purposes. but now, she would hopefully pass the test after only a few tries, and she could be awarded with an official license. Molly thought to herself of all the tests i've taken, i'm the least nervous for this one because it doesn't affect aschool grade!

As two other applicants walked in, he held out his hand and smiled to Sky. "Well off you go! I'll be with you shortly. And Molly, please follow these three." he said while pointing at the three who were about to leave.

He nodded and took the application paper to analyze it. Moments later, he nodded again and smiled. "Rebecca, please follow me." he said while walking slowly out the test room.

Sky smiled warmly at the two applicants as she wandered towards the door. She hoped that the two wouldnt feel two nervous, especially as Micah and herself would be present. "This way please," She informed as she wandered towards the testing area.

Molly quickly got up and followed the three who were about to leave. molly walked as she curiously thought about where she exactly was going.

Nathan smiled at the woman and followed her towards the testing area.

Rebecca smiled nervously and then stood up following the man outside

Alexandra got up as she was called into the room, hopefully she wouldn't be too nervous.

"Excuse me!" Cassandra said moving around the Ravenpuff and taking an Application

She signed the paper and handed it in. She rolled her eyes and took a seat waiting to be called upon.

ooc: I took away the date, I'm assuming it'd be Trel's birthday, late june, but if I wait till the actual date it'll be too late.

Micah walked back into his office from the testing room and saw that there were two more people. They were very young indeed.

"Oh hello there. Fresh from Hogwarts?" he asked conversationally. He took their applications and surveyed them.

Cassandra looked up and at the man and then looked back down to her ministry issued pamphlet. She would read the instructions until the last minute...

Rhiannon looked up as she heard a voice address her and Cassandra. Smiling at the man, she said, "Hi." He started looking over their applications, so she left it at that, and looked around the room more while she waited for him to talk again.

Glancing over, she saw Cassandra poring over a pamphlet. Is she that nervous?, she thought. In her own mind, she just kept telling herself that she was going to be able to do this. It really didn't seem much worse than when she had to try something new in one of her classes, and she generally did pretty well there.

"Very well, very well." Micah said after a minute or so. He got up and held this applications in his hand. "Due to the lack of Test Coordinators, and because I have nothing else to do, I shall test you both. Please follow me." He walked slowly outside his office and waited for the two.

Cassandra stood and closed her pamphlet. She followed the man out. She wasn't going to let the Ravenpuff ahead of her now.

Rhiannon stood up and followed the Ministry worker out of the room. She rolled her eyes behind Cassandra's back as the Slytherin had to make sure she got there ahead of her. The whole thing was just entertaining.

She waited for the man to tell them how the test was going to take place.

"Right, we're going to the Apparition Test Room. There you will gradually practice until you've got the hang of it. You will not be able to get your license in a day. If you want, you can head over to the apparition practice room to practice by yourself. In the test room, I will observe you both and you will attempt to apparate. When I feel it is the right time, you both will be taking the real test. Understood?"

Molly nodded hesitantly to micah's instructions.

"here i go" she whispered to herself. Then molly noticed the others heard so she apologized

Cassandra came into the testing center, she was annoyed to have to see the man that she was going to test with. She sighed as she saw the Ravenclaw. She gave her a nod and greeted her, "Todd."

Rhiannon inclined her head slightly as Cassandra entered and spoke. "Trelawney", she replied. She found no reason to treat the Slytherin any different than the girl treated her. Even though the lack of absolute derision was kind of weird.

Micah walked in his own office and almost stopped dead when he saw Cassandra there. "Heh... is it really the time to..." he looked left nervously and bit his lip, "Right come with me!"

OOC: You needn't to come to Micah's office. Just could've gone to the test room but no matter.

Cassandra stood and followed Mr. Nettings to the Testing center.

Micah looked at Rhiannon and sighed. "Please follow." He looked back at Cassandra and said, "I'm testing you first."

No doubt getting her out of the way. Fine... She was fine with that. She always got her way... sort of.

"Alright, what would you like me to do?" She asked in the sweetest voice she could muster.

Rhiannon nodded at Mr. Nettings as he told her to follow him. Going into the testing room, she stood quietly as Cassandra was told that she would be tested first.

It didn't really bother her that she was going to have to wait. Waiting meant she had more time to relax and make sure she would be able to concentrate.

Serena walked into the room nervously. As it was empty, she took a form from the desk and began filling in the details needed.

Date: 30th May
Name:Serena Campbell
Age: 18
Height: 5'3''
Weight:9.9 stones
Have you taken the test?: No.
Signature: Serena Campbell

As Oceana entered the apperation room she saw a man talking to a young girl she walked over to them and said confidently to the man "Excuse me im looking for a Mr Nettings my name is Oceana and i have just recieved a job here, Lorraine sent me here" she felt so nervous inside but put that to the back of her mind, she was no longer in Hogwarts and was looking forward to her job....

Micah, before he had left the room, noticed about several more people come walking into his office. What, did he have a party going on? He needed his Test coordinators at once. Only one had caught his attention and that was a girl named Oceana. He stopped and allowed the girls he was about test to continue their destination. He held the door and looked at Oceana. "Ah, yes! I, clearly, am in need of an apparation test coordinator so I thank you for your presence. Time is quite limited Ms. Mason so I shall tell you what you need to do and quickly." He looked back at the few people sitting down and the new applicant. He walked over to her and said, "Good day." He took her application form from his desk and walked a little hastily back towards Oceana. "You must read this carefully and deter whether she is allowed to be tested or not. As the piece of parchment already detects lies, it still does not know whether a 16 year old should be tested. Say a 16 year old came in and wrote '16' on where it asks for the age, the parchment will not detect anything as that is not a lie. So if we were to trust such parchment, we would be fools. Now that you see that point, I hope, I think you are on the right track then! After you have finished reading all the applications for past and future applicants, please direct them to the Apparition Test Room. It's just down the hall on my right. I hope my instructions are clear and please do ask if you are in need of help to fulfill what's expected of you as a test coordinator. Now I must be off! Welcome to my Division and I shall have a more formal chat with you soon after all of these applicants are done." And with that, he left the office and almost ran to the Apparition Test Room. He prayed she would be a good assistant.
