When is the interview? How much time do you have? Maybe you could do practice interviews with someone? I don't know what sort of questions the DMLE ask, though.
There's going to be a school photo tomorrow. Of everybody, all at once. I guess they had to rush to get it in before the end of term or something. Some of the girls complained about not having time to do their hair, but I know the older Slytherins who like to do beauty charms, and we're all supposed to wear our school robes, so nobody has to worry about outfits. It's right after breakfast, I think. When is your interview? Are you going by Floo?
You might still have time, then. You should probably check with Professor Popa. Hey, maybe she could do a practice interview with you? She is your Head of House.
If I was the DMLE, I'd want to know if you can talk to people, if you can stay calm in a crisis, if you're kind and helpful but not easily fooled, if you understand the job, and I guess why you want it. And it's good if you can give examples, because they always ask that in class, so I reckon they'll ask that in interviews too. You could tell them how you helped me and Auggie with our emergency alert system research. We might not have made it yet, but we got a lot further in our research with your help than we did without.
When do you start?

I don't know. They want to interview me.

They do? Oh. Well, that's probably good, though, right? You have interviews before you get jobs, that's how it usually works.

Right, yeah. That's normal. I'm just nervous.

You just gotta focus on the goal.

Tomorrow. I don't have much time.

They invited you for an interview during school time? That doesn't seem-oh, no, that means you'll miss the school photo!

What photo?

Maybe. I'll ask her. She'd be good at that, I think.

[Holden nods.] Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. Thank you. And I'll tell them.
