"Thank you," Kaiser said to the ministry official as he held out his form for her to take, before shoving his hands into his pockets. So, it seemed like the practical part was all done and over with - and, apparently, passed for real - but that left the written portion. While not lacking in confidence, Kaiser wished they could skip this part altogether. After all, they'd shown they could physically apparate, and he felt that should be enough.

Then again, he generally felt that way about most things at school too. Like, why be required to write an essay about a spell or a potion if you could manage to produce it without trouble?

But what Kaiser wanted and what was actually required were two different things, so he supposed he'd do the written exam. He headed over to the annex, took a seat at one of the desks, turned over the parchment, and read through the essay question.

Okay, well, that wasn't too terrible. He would just, as usual, need to give his answer an extra read through or two once he was done to make sure he'd got the English as close to perfect as he could get it. Picking up a quill, Kaiser got started.

SPOILER!!: Written Examination
What are the 3 D's of apparition and how does each one relate to that form of magical travel?
The three Ds and their relation to apparition are:

Destination - Having a destination in mind is important to apparate, as you are likely to be apparating only if you have somewhere you want to go. If you are not focused on your destination, you may end up in the wrong place.

Determination - The person apparating must be determined in what they are doing, like with any kind of spell. Being hesitant or not determined or half-hearted would probably mean being unsuccessful or splinching.

Deliberation - You are not supposed to rush apparition, but be careful and deliberate. Rushing it will cause mistakes like splinching.


There. Kaiser was pretty sure that was as good as his answer was going to get. He was a little frustrated that he couldn't think of exactly the right English words for what he was trying to convey at some points, like in the part about determination, but decided to just relax and see what happened rather than get all stressed out over it.
