Apparition Practical Exams Testing Center


As you enter the room designated for the Practical exams please have some sort of identification or your wand with you ready for clearance for the test. Please approach the License Issuers desk and wait for them to send you to the Examiner for your exam. Our test-workers are experts in Splintch reversal and St. Mungo's is just a pop away. No need to worry, just relax and stay calm, you will surely pass.

If you pass (Your examiner will let you know at the end) then you will be given a paper signed by them and you will take it to the witch/wizard at the desk when you leave and they will issue you a licence and have you fill out the necessary paper-work.

OCC: Please be sure to NOT just post already meeting your Tester. Either Mr. Andrew Rose (PhoenixRising) or Miss Andie Jordan (Alex_Potter) working at the front desk, will assist you and show you were to go. Do NOT rp as the front desk worker or the TESTERS, your posts will be deleted.

If you are taking your Apparation License Test for the first time then be sure to have taken the Written Exam here before you take this one.

Testers OFF the Floor:
Ms. Katrina Rayne (iBeJenn)
Mr. Sancho Vasquez (Mordaynes)

Andie entered the room and noticed the table that she had to sit at. After putting her bag down and settling in she waited for someone to come along.

Charmayne LeBlanc was exhausted, but walked into the testing center anyway. The divorce finally over, she could finally breathe.

She spotted the table where she was supposed to sit at and sunk down into the chair. After she set her bag down and blinked the sleep from her eyes, she pulled out the name tags, a quill and her coffee flask.

Leaning back into her seat, she and her coffee flask waited for the exam candidates to arrive.

Armen had arrived at the Ministy earlier than usual today, left his coat and hat in his office and made his way to the Practical exmaination room after getting a large cup of coffee from the breakroom. He hadn't tested someone for their Apparation license in a while, but he was certainly excited to do it again, especially with the MLE department.

Entering the section of the office where the secretaries and license issuers worked, Recard was happy to see that they were there already. "Ah, good morning Mayne and Andie, today's the big day! You ready?" He said with a bright grin tapping on the raised counter at thr front of their desk.

Now he just was waiting for Katherine, Katrina, Sancho, and their special guest.

Katrina walked into the Practical Examination room. She had never really been in here, seeing as she was in charge of giving the written portion of the examination but she was excited. It was a new experience and though the MLE people still probably could hex her, she rather liked teaching. She entered with a cup of coffee, though she intended on finishing it before the exams.

"Good morning all, Charmayne, Andie, Mister Recard," Katrina said. She was in a pleasant mood and glanced around the place. She had a feeling it was going to be a good day, yup. Unless someone got either splinched or hexed; then maybe not so much.

Finally. Isobel was one silly test away from getting her license back. Finally. It had been forever, and she had not forgotten that Armen had said it wouldn't take long for them to get their licenses back. That just put fuel to the fire really. This had better not take long. She had a office full of aurors to look after now, and could not be spending all day down in the magical transportation department. Part of her was hoping that Armen was not going to be present, but she knew he would be. Of course he would be, he'd want to see if any of them failed. Stupid idiot. She would've hexed him if that stupid letter had told her not too. And anyway she was head auror now...well acting head auror, she had to act professional. As long as he didn't say anything, she would remain calm.

Oh. And he was there. Typical. Isobel folded her arms, also noting that there were also no other members of her department here. Fun. Well this was going to be interesting. She was so looking forward to this. Clearly.

It seemed as if Lilyan Moretti had only just left the Ministry of Magic. It had only been a few days since her last visit. Hehe. And she'd been crafty too. She hadn't told Van that she would be here today.

Wouldn't he be surprised?!

Hehe.

As she entered the room, her eyes landed on the Department Head, the man who had asked for her to be the Healer oversee these exams. She politely acknowledged the others, though she knew not who any of them were, except for Isobel, of course. It wasn't like they were super best friends, but the woman got a smile and a wave, even if she didn't look very happy to be there.

None of them WOULD be, Lily was not fooled about THAT. Van had made that quite clear.

"Good Morning, Mr. Recard." The Italian woman stopped at the man and offered her hand. Manners. She had them. Even when it came to people that her fiance hated.

Even without coffee, Katherine had entered the ministry quite enthused that morning. It was the apparition testing that day, which got her excited, of course. Even if it was those from level two who were being re-tested. And even if none of them looked terribly happy to be there.

And was it just her or had Isobel given Armen a look of disgust? Weren't the two dating? Or had something happened?

No matter though, it was testing day! And testing days were good days! She got to watch others apparate and didn't have much paperwork to do until the FOLLOWING day and generally got to leave early on testing days. "Good morning!" Kat said politely, with a nod, to Katrina, her boss, and the others nearby.

Armen was all smiles this morning, even though it would be the end of this particular hold he had on the MLE department, he would still get to put them through the last torturous test--maybe he would fail someone.

Then Izzy walked in. His smile faded as he looked at her figure entering the testing center. He hadn't really even seen her since he had dumped her, let alone speak with her. He had messed with Emily sense then aswell, which certainly had gone well in his book; despite the hexing. And now Damien was gone...good riddiance. But that made her acting Head Auror.

"Good day, Miss. Montague." He nodded curtly, impersonal. "Do we think we can pass the exam this morning Head Auror?" he asked reading through her file and looking at her Written exam results. She had passed, answering each question correctly.
Ah the Healer was there!

"Lily Morietti, welcome!" Armen stepped forward and greated the former Hogwarts Healer with a shake of her hand. He was glad she had decided to come. "Thanks for coming Lily, I will need you no doubt." One of the MLE dopes were sure to have a messy splinching. "Now if you could just kindly help supervise in the checking of each employee as they leave and of course helping in the result of an emergency." The Department Head nodded. "There's coffee in the breakroom if you would like it." he ended with a smile.

And their Head Tester had arrived.

"Good morning Katherine, your first test taker shall be here soon, his scheduled time in in five minutes." Armen nodded to Miss Spades. He was excited to get things started, and knew that Katherine was more than qualified to begin testing employees.

It was weird, the sense of relief that fell upon Isobel when she saw Lily walk in. They weren't exactly that good friends, it was obvious why, but it was nice to have someone here, that didn't make things that awkward. And Lily was nice, so it was good to have her here, at least she knew if she spinched, which she was pretty sure she wouldn't, that she would be in capable hands. The blonde smiled at Lily, offering her a small wave in return. "Morning Lily." Maybe the woman would be up in their department later. That would be nice. Truthfully...Izzy probably would like to get to know her more. She didn't exactly have that many friends outside of work.

Isobel looked from Lily to Armen as he began speaking. He didn't look very happy, but Isobel was kind of glad. He should feel that way for dumping her like that. She would definetly have reminded him of that, if she hadn't been that cut up by it. Luckily she was starting to get over it now. She was not going to let Armen Recard keep her upset now way. She'd taken ages getting over Evander, and he was at least some sort of decent man. It was going to be different with Armen.

What on earth was with Miss Montague? Had his brain suddenly forgotten her name now. Lovely. "Good Morning Mr. Recard." She said just as he had, no emotions behind her voice. There was no way that she was letting him see how hurt she actually way. "Of course I am going to pass." What did he think she was? 5 or something. And he better hurry up and get her tested. She needed to actually get to work.

Armen could see that Izzy was trying to show him that she was ok, but deep down, he knew she wasn't completely alright. Who would be after a year long relationship breaking off how badly it had. He felt a tad guilty about what he had done at first but now she just seemed spitefull taking away any of that guilt. She was fully one of them now.

"Well we will just see then won't we." he said glancing faintly at her. "Now, you passed your written exam without missing a question but sometimes booksmarts is much different than actually doing the thing. Firstly I would like you to Apparate into this hoop right over there." he said pointing at the wooden hoop about 2 feet away on the floor.

Isobel had kind of wished she had brought a coffee down now. That way she could've had something to do with her hands. Because she was actually feeling a little nervous. She knew that it would be very easy for Armen to just fail her. And that would not be cool at all. It would not look good if she failed her test, and she would be pretty annoyed at Armen. Even more annoyed than she was right now. Hopefully Armen would get the test over and done with. She had a feelign that he probably wanted to see her even less than hse wanted to see him. That was absolutly fine by her.

"That we will." She could very easily apparate. Armen had seen her do it plenty of times. And she wasn't going to let what he was saying put her off. "I've been apparating for 16 years. I think I can do it." She murmered quietly, staring right at him. She didn't even think she could do it. She knew she could. "Okay." And she could do that. Of course she could. Giving him one last look, she turned her attention to the hoop, concentrating, befure turning on the spot. Disappearing from her spot near Armen, and reappearing right in the middle of the hoop. See. She could do it.

Armen could tell she seemed nervous, whether or not it was because of the test or being back in his presence he couldn't tell. Being in a room full of Magical Transportation people didn't help either, he was sure.

With his arms crossed and holding the clipboard, Recard leaned against a desk as he waited for Izzy to Apparate. She disappeared and then popped into the middle of the hoop. "Not bad." he made a quick check on her testing sheet.

"Now I will need you to Apparate into this second hoop." he pointed his wand across the room about 12 feet away.

Isobel did think that she could do it perfect. Of course she could. She'd been doing it for ages. Hopefully she wouldn't mess up, because that would be so embarrassing. But she didn't think she was. Isobel would not have passed her test in the first place if she hadn't. Hmm. She folded her arms, watching what he was going to say. Not expecting that were you Armen? Not bad. Not bad? Isobel just eyed him, not saying anything. Don't say anything, and she'd be fine.

"Okay." Because she could do that. It would work. If she could apparate 2 feet, she knew she'd be able to 12 feet. She wasn't an idiot, even if she was blonde. Concentrating again, she eyed the loop, before turning around on spot, and disappearing. She reappeared in the loop, not so dead on centre as she had been last time, more near the edge. But still in the hoop none the less.

Smirking slightly, Armen made a check by the second task box on her grading sheet. She did Apparate correctly, even though it wasn't perfect, into the hoop. So there was no way he could say she was wrong. "Alright now for a trickier task, I need you to Apparate somewhere other than on this level in the Ministry and then return into the first hoop. Got it?" he stood up straighter waiting to see if she could do this last task.

OCC: Just rp disapparating and apparating back in here and post one post somewhere else.

Hmm. That could've been a bit better. But she still did it. Isobel smiled at Armen. Mark me down on that Recard, just go and do it. There was no way that she wanted to fail this. "Okay...." She still knew she'd be able to do it. Because she was a perfectionist, so she would not allow herself to get it wrong. With one last, kind of grin, that totally said I got this haha, she turned on the spot and disappeared. Yes. In her opinion this was going very well.

Armen stood there after Izzy had disapparated. Taking a sip of his coffee he looked around the room; at Katherin and Katrina waiting on their testers, at Lily would waited for someone to be splinched too bad Damien was no longer around, and then at Andie and Mayne who would be handing out licenses soon.

Even though he didn't care for Izzy in that way now and she had betrayed his trust he really didn't want her to get stuck in a wall or floor or get splinched on her way back here.

Hmm. Ring One. Ring One. Isobel appeared back in that hoop, a bit off centre, and not so perfect as she would've liked. But still, it was in the hoop, not outside of the hoop, clearly showing that she could do it. Isobel smiled, as she realised that she had managed to do it. Perfect. You haven't lost your touch Isobel. She was pretty sure that there was no way that Armen could fail her now. She hadn't done anything wrong, apart from not being dead centre in the hoops. She was sure that was fine, because in real life she would not be apparating in the hoop. Turning around she smiled at Armen. "Anything else?" She'd done well. She knew she had. Isobel had landed in the hoops, and not splinched. Well done on her behalf she thought.

Armen looked up as his ex had Apparated back into the room. Siiigh. She had landed in the hoop. Making a check on the clipboard the Department Head decieded he really could not fail her on anything and with her being fully intact will all of her limbs present, it made it especially hard for him to do that.

"No that will be all for today." He said signing the sheet of paper and handing it to her. "You will allow Healer Morietti to do a double check on your for health and insurance reasons and then you will present this paper at the front desk to Andie and Mayne and they will give you some paperwork to fill out and then your license." He left out the part where she was supposed to have a good day and stuff.

Just as she had thought. Isobel smiled, stepping out of the circle, and listening to him. Woot. She had passed. Perfect. She could apparate again. This was good. She took the paper from him. Thank you Recard. Took your time. "Well...thank you Mr. Recard." See. At least one of them could be polite. Sure he had really hurt her, but she was not about to look bad infront of him, and all of his employees. "Perfect." Because she was very glad to be having her license back.

She turned, to go over to Lily, but turned back, and said one more thing to Armen. "Have a good day...I'll tell my aurors to behave." She smirked at him, before wandering back over to Lily.

Lily was blonde, but she was not a dumb blonde. She knew that her presence here was a simple formality, and nothing more. There was no real danger that any of these people would splinch themselves. They would all die before they splinched themselves because of him. That knowledge wasn't even so much something she'd gotten from Van specifically, but through the nature of the whole thing.

She would have felt the very same way.

"Of course." She smiled her best smile anyway, well pleased that she was able to do her part, even if it was unnecessary. "Though I'm sure we will hardly find anyone needing healed." She shifted the small bag that carried a few necessary potions, should she need them, in her left hand (which also sported something incredibly sparkly, yes, make sure to look at it and be in awe of it) "Have you ever been splinched, Mr. Recard?" She shook her head, "Not a pretty sight." Trust, she'd seen a lot of those in her time.

Oh. Lily hadn't been expecting to be addressed by the woman. How lovely! "Good Morning, Isobel." She replied, her sweet smile still in place.

She took a step back so as to be out of the way while the exam was administered.

She clapped a little, not what could be heard, but more that could be seen. "Head Auror?" She asked, when the woman came up to her. She'd known that Damien had taken a leave of absence, being close friends with Gemini, and the man himself, but she hadn't yet heard who would be acting in his absence.

"Congratulations." She added, before proceeding with her little check up. The obvious thing was out. No splinches! YAY!

She checked over a few more things, and then patted the woman's shoulder, "There you are, dear, you're just fine."

Chelsea had passed. Yes PASSED the written exam. Of course being new she didn't know anyone from the Transportation department yet. She basically knew her own department and that was about it.

Walking into the room her feet barely making a sound as she had decided to be sensible and wear sensible shoes to this test. Gulp. She didn't want to learn just how rueful the Transportation people could be. She'd heard whispers of someone named Ar-something...whatever and whoever this Arguy was she wanted nothing to do with Arms? Army - whoever this Arm-man was she didn't care. Wait. That was it. Armen.

And she was now standing in the doorway to the room looking at this pretty-boy-faced old creeper. Oh. That was him. Armen Recard...Arm was so much better...because really then she could just confuse him by calling him Arm-man...hah.

Stepping a little bit more quickly she walked further into the room and stopped watching as Isobel was examined. Yay! Izzy had passed. She was already excstatic for the MLE since well they were most definitely the BEST!

"Hello" she pipped up in a chipper-as-can-be tone, what who cared if a twenty one year old sounded like she was excited. Well she was. She wanted to get REevaluated and prove to these floosies that she could do it. Go from hoop-to-hoop and all in ONE piece. Mhm. Because she was just that amazing. And maybe just that sycophantic...but that was another story. And today it was time to talk to Armen Recard. "Hello, I'm Chelsea Payne I'm here to report to...um Armin...i think thats how you say it -Recard" she smiled. Not knowing she'd butchered a name. Well she'd never met Mr. High-and-Mighty Transportation Department Head so she wouldn't have known.

Pfft! Armen was not fooled by Izzy's cheeriness, he knew she was still heart-broken by his break up with her. Who wouldn't be, he was quite the catch; money, good looks, and power. But nonetheless he had no other choice but to pass her. She had done well, even though he would never admit it.

Tell her Aurors to be good? As if they wouldn't. They were entering into his turf and he would not tolerate them otherwise. He didn't need her to tell them to behave. "You do that Miss Montague; Andie or Mayne will be with you shortly."
Lily seemed to be a bit skeptical that any of the MLE employees would actually splinch but despite Armen's hopes that someone might, nothing serious of course, she was probably right. But they needed her there just in case.

Had he ever splinched? What sort of question was that? He was the head of Apparition, and had worked the majority of his time here on level six in the Apparition Divsion. "No ma'am I actually haven't, but much like I assume you have experience, I have seen many people splinched before." he nodded, blinking slowly. There had been some very nasty cases, that was for sure.

After he had finally passed Izzy, Armen looked up to see Lily clapping quietly and then chatting happily with his ex when she was finished. Armen rolled his eyes slightly and then took a drink of his coffee. Bloody brilliant, the one other Cultist he had brought in is fratinizing with the enemy.
Ok one down and....a lot to go. Armen had finished taking a swig of his coffee and had flicked his wand to get rid off the hoops he had used with Izzy. Suddenly another person entered the room, a newer employee to MLE and he thought he knew which one it was.

"Are you Miss Payne?" He asked her as she asked for him. "I am Armen Recard, the Dept. Head of Magical Transportation. Welcome to the Apparition Testing Center and Katrina," he gestured to her (IBeJenn) "is your examiner. She will show you what to do." he said a looking at her, trying to decide mentally if he thought she would pass or not. She was new so maybe the oafs in MLE hadn't taught her too many bad habits.

Upon hearing her name, she quickly finished up her cup of coffee and tossed tossed it into the rubbish bin nearby. Ah, right, examiner, that was her. MLE here she came.


Katrina looked at the woman who had walked in waiting to be tested... by Katrina. "Hello Miss Payne, I'm Katrina and I'm going to be your examiner today," she said coolly with a smile on her face. She stretched out a hand for the woman to shake, should she want to. But if she bit people... well, Katrina was not going to stick her hands out for anyone afterwards.

Then after the pleasantries, they'd move onto the testing. Merlin, she sure hoped that she would get this whole testing procedure right.

Chelsea nodded, giving Armen a quick nice smile - despite how much it wasn't really a true, genuine smile it was atleast a nice effect. She was a nice person after all and she didn't know much about him. So playing it nice was good. Especially when the MLE was in so much hot water as it already was. "Yes, I am Miss Chelsea Payne" she smiled. It was actually quite nice to be refered to as Miss Payne. Sounded all 'official'.

And she was in no way official. Just a Pensive Examiner who really wanted to be able to leave this stupid room. "Thank you for letting me know - and its a pleasure meeting you Department Head Recard" yeah yeah it sounded all official...because it was. She was being all nicey-nice with the so-called Enemy. Why? Because maybe they could get somewhere better. Or not. She had no idea yet.

Looking over to where she had been directed she coudln't help but smile, and wince. She had no idea what would happen today. Only that hey, she hadn't ever been bad at apparating. She'd only been doing it for say four years of her expansive twenty one. She was a little excited, nervous, and oddly calm all at once.

Saying a quick goodbye to Armen - well a nod really, she walked over to Katrina and smiled. She smiled when Katrina introduced herself - she seemed nice. "Its a pleasure to meet you Katrina" she smield. nervously at that. And taking the other woman's hand she promptly shook it - and quite strongly at that. Maybe too strongly. She didn't want to break her examiner's hand before the exam started. Wouldn't be a good start at ALL.
