Oh, I get a TA? Great! We've got a lot of students who are very interested in the profession.
My name is Dr. Spencer Reid and I'm the Pre-Auror Studies teacher, so as you might imagine, uh.. I'm an Auror myself. I worked in America too.. well, I'm from America actually. Las Vegas, NV.
I, well, I don't know if I'm your boss, per say. *has never been the boss of anyone* Dumbledore's the one in charge here. Think of it more as a partnership. Feel free to call "Reid", as that's what most of my colleagues do.
I worked out of Quantico, VA for a while then got transferred to Edinburgh... lovely country, by the way. Did you know that Scotland comprises of approximately 790 islands, out of which around 130 are inhabited?
Oh, homicide, good. Lots of hands-on experience with victims. The students will benefit greatly from that. I'm a profiler, so I don't have as much victim experience.
I actually did know that about Scotland, you know, motherland and all that. But it's nice to meet a Yank who's well-read in Scottish geography. Most of the Americans I worked with just thought all of Europe was one big country.
I have experience with victims, but a lot of them were dead, so I'm not sure if that's helpful. I have a specialization in interrogation techniques, so maybe that makes up for it.
I worked as an auror in New York City, which is a little bigger than London. The major difference between US and UK was that not long after I arrived in New York, the September 11 attacks occurred, which affected the wizarding world just as much as the muggle world. I was trained in hypervigiliance, and the auror force played a large part after the attacks in tracking down the assailants.
Americans also have a different idea of privacy than the UK. Where here we can interrogate suspects with slightly more persuasive methods, in the US there is a bit more focus on protocol and suspect's rights. Not to say that Brits disregard those rights, but it seems that Brits have more elbow-room in interrogation than Yanks do.

I'm an auror employed by the Ministry of Magic, all completely above board. I'm entitled, and encouraged, to investigate any and all security threats against Hogwarts. If I want to interview every pureblood in Europe, I have every right.
I want to work with you, but you're not cooperating very well.
If your usual tactic is to be elitist and only share information with your precious team, then this is my response tactic.
Believe it or not, my dad's family has connections with many of the pureblood families in the UK. If you'd use me as resource, I could potentially cut your list dramatically.

What division do you work for under the Aurors?

I was born in Scotland, but my grandparents still live in New York. I moved to New York pretty much as soon as I finished Auror training.
I worked mostly in homicide in New York, but I started out in special victims.

Well exams are over, so there's not really anything for you to do until the next school year.

More elbow room in the UK, eh? I thought it would be the opposite.
