Apparition ban, how I hate thee...
Waking up this morning knowing the Apparition ban was going into effect wasn't a big deal. It gave me a reason to pull out my broom and fly into work. Moody of course spent easily ten minutes then berating me for my lack of vigilence in flying to work, which according to him is one of the least secure modes of travel. It was impossible to get in a word to the point that as a Quidditch player, I was used to dodging things being hurtled at me while I was on my broom because if I did, he'd somehow find out about the time I got knocked out by the bludger, which would just prove his point.
His diatribe was cut off though when Mr Crouch came in to tell us that the first year aurors (idiot kid trainees as Moody calls us when he is happy with us) that we were going to get a chance to get some actual field experience. Silly me, I thought this meant I was finally going to get a chance to start to put my training to use.
I don't need to be reminded that I can be an idiot, I figured that out as soon as I was told to go to the monitoring room and wait for someone to Apparate, then, I was permitted to Apparate to there location, discern the motive for their Apparition (most people forgot they weren't permitted to now) and then issue a citation.
That was it. That was the entire purpose of my day. Running around like a bloody meter maid telling people "You can't Apparate for security reasons." For that I have been bloodied and hexed for the last 9 months. That is not what I signed up for. If I wanted to be a bloody meter maid, I would've done that, not apply to be an Auror.
By the way, Alice, it was nice to see you, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to you while you were in the office, or rather, while I was in the office, since I guess you were around most of the day while I was acting like a meter maid.
