Moody was also quite willing to be informative. All I had to do was pretend to be interested in being an Auror myself, and he told me a lot about how they work and what they do. I don't know how much of what he told me is trustworthy, considering what he turned out to be, but much of what he said fits with things I've read and heard. Knowing how the Aurors work, inside and out, is one essential weapon in my arsenal.
