"I was indeed. During the time of the Dark Lord's second rising, I was a hit wizard and then an Auror as well. It is not a job for the weak... and definitely not for those who are unable to exhibit strong control over their minds and impulses." He sat back, eyeing Jack. "If this is truly the path you want, I presume you know already the first thing you must do: you must learn to control yourself. You must completely change your behavior, focus on your studies and become a leader within the school community. You must be known not for your bad behavior, but for your outstanding performance. I believe you have promise, Mosier, or I would not be taking the time to speak to you at all-- I would have already asked that the headmaster expel you. You see, long ago, there was once a boy much like yourself sitting in this very dungeon. That boy had a talent for trouble and a taste for battles... He was given a second chance-- a chance to be something more than the common hooligan he was setting himself up to be." Kazimeriz idly pulled out his wand, turning it in his hands as though lost in memories. "It wasn't easy for him by a long shot. But he rose to the challenge, achieving much success and building a life he could be proud of. I wonder... if given the same chance... will you do the same?" He raised an eyebrow, gesturing at the boy with his wand.
