Now that wasn't exactly the reaction he'd been expecting, though he had to agree that Jamie had some fair points. Rather than pushing, he leaned back thinking over what he'd just said carefully, before saying anything.
"I can agree with you on a lot of that," he said finally. "You make several good point."
"However, to start with your first concern, about capturing Dark Wizards not being possible. It has been done before. We have a prison full of ageing old men who used to be among the most feared men in the country. It is definitely more dangerous but men like Rabastan have information we need. Therefore we need them alive if we can manage it," he said.
He smiled. "Yes I'd like your help," he said. "Not officially," he added. "I do know that people have been angry at some of the changes made, but they have been necessary, but you're right, letting you do something like that officially would create more problems than it would solve. That was never my intention."
"You will have individual training just as anyone else, you will be asked to adapt what you know to fit with Auror protocol because as much as you need to know how to kill Voldemort you need to know how to hold back when facing anyone else," he said.
"What I'm asking, is if you are willing, during these training sessions, to discuss more general ways to adapt your training to fit others, so that he and Ron can implement what they find useful to the overall training of the Aurors. It won't be your call or your decision, you'll just be offering your opinion during training sessions."
"If you do not want to, then that's perfectly fine. And of course you should get Severus' permission. Though even without it we need to know what you can do. Otherwise any training we give you might end up being counter productive."
