Dear Irina,

My name is Brígh O’Dalaigh and I’m very interested in the curse breaker trainee programme. I know that you joined a few years ago and was wondering if you would be able to share your application experience with me? And how were the first few months?

Thanks
Brígh

Dear Brigh,

I remember you from my Hogwarts days - how are you? I’m happy to talk more about the Cursebreaking experience. It’s been a lot of hard work, and I won’t lie - it’s dangerous. I was injured by a curse last summer and spent some time in the hospital. But I had a great mentor in Renfri - Professor Selwyn to you - and you’re bound to be paired with a great Cursebreaker as well. The application process wasn’t too hard - hopefully you’re in Arithmancy as that is a required OWL for the job, as well as Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Potions and Transfiguration. If you also are taking Ancient Runes, your application will stand out even more!

What else would you like to know?

Dear Irina,

I'm so glad you remember me! You were in James' year, right? It's really good to know that like... people I know and like have gone through the career aspects before I have. I'm sorry you got hurt but also very glad you survived. I'm taking all those subjects so hopefully my application will stand out. I've even started tutoring in Charms, at Professor Yaxley's request. I'll speak to professor Selwyn. Do you get a choice who your mentor is?

Yours,
Brígh

Brigh,

I was the year below James but he is a dear friend of mine. He’s in the hitwizard program now I believe, so a slightly different career path but definitely some similarities in the training. I didn’t get a choice in mentor but I was pleasantly surprised with Professor Selwyn. I have to say I was devastated when the accident ended her career in Cursebreaking, but I was glad to have the years I did with her. I got lucky with my accident in a way; the woman I was with acted very quickly and Apparated me to a hospital who was able to contain the curse to my arm before transporting me to Saint Mungos. I now have full use of my arm back! I don’t want to sugar coat it for you; Cursebreaking can be very dangerous, but it is also very rewarding. You get to see so many cool places, hunt for long lost artifacts, and put your Charmwork, Ancient Runes and Defense Against the Dark Arts training into action.

Do you have any other questions for me? Let me know!

Irina
