Hello, everyone; I hope you're all keeping safe after the rescue mission and everything that happened before that. If there's anything I can do to help anyone please let me know.

I was actually hoping to ask for a little help from everyone here. I'm planning on taking up the position of teaching the History of Magic once Professor Snape has the school up and running and the schedules working out, so I was wondering if there was anyone who'd like the history of their world taught during their classes. I've written up a rough guideline for the class as it stands, based on the history of my own world, but I think it would be even more fascinating with a greater world view.

If anyone has anything they want to add to the courses please let me know!

[ PRIVATE TO REMUS LUPIN ]

Remus, I'm not sure how comfortable you'd be with it, but... Would you, perhaps, be willing to help me with the werewolf culture course? I'd really like to open up a debate about how unfair the wizarding world is with regards to the treatment of werewolves and it wouldn't be right to teach the course without actually asking someone with experience.

Now, there's discrimination.

Perhaps it would be if I didn't have a very good reason not to allow you to attend.

Such a brain, Miss Granger, and yet too self-righteous to foresee the way you're going to run out of arguments?

I think you're underestimating me and overestimating yourself.

Perhaps. Let's see.

So, why am I not welcome?

Because you are a known Death Eater with various issues relating to a time spend in the wizarding prison known as Azkaban that attempted to kill my best friend before being intercepted by Professor Dumbledore. It's also safe to assume anything you would learn in my classes would be reported back to Tom Riddle, which would not be at all productive, would it?

...arrogance, Miss Granger. Do you really believe that there would be so much to report back? What novel concept are you going to teach?

So, no, I'd rather not think that'd be very productive. But I'll admit it probably can't be more tedious than Binns.

Are you excluding Snape and Malfoy from your lessons, too?

It isn't arrogance, it's fact. I'm not going to be the reason Tom Riddle knows far too much about the future, thank you very much. I'm going to be particularly careful with what I teach so no one has the importunity to exploit it, especially you.

[ She pointedly ignores the Binns comment; she'd rather enjoyed the information he'd taught her, even if it was tedious. ]

Both Professor Snape and Draco Malfoy had proven themselves to have been good men by the time the war had ended. The same cannot be said for you.

See, now you're being exclusionary to soulless people.

I've taught you, Miss Granger. I know you quite well. You don't think black and white, as so many of your peers do. It's a rare talent. I'd hate to see you lose it.

I am not thinking in black and white, thank you very much. I am protecting myself and my friends and for a very good reason.

Ah, yes. Of course. If the motivation is heroism, ethics do take a step back.

Treatment of house elves. What inspired you for that? Not many care.

It is entirely to not allow someone who would misuse information from a classroom - especially if they're a danger to any students that would want to learn there.

As for the House Elves, I care. They deserve better.

Such paranoia. Constant vigilance. You did learn something.

I agree.

I learned that from fighting a war, not from you.

I know. Winky.

Funny, that's how I learned it, too.

Ah, yes. You met her.

The difference is I was fighting for something good.

I did.

Black and white.

I didn't... Never mind.

No.

I hope you know that she was horribly depressed after what you and your family put her through, but she got better. She fought in the war - against the Death Eaters.

Oh, yes. I was a horrible monster to her.

She was forced to look after you! Because of that she was abused by the Ministry, accused of casting an absolutely awful charm and ended up being unfairly treated and dismissed! How is that not monstrous? She didn't deserve any of that.

I am sorry. I had a lot of choice in all of this as you astutely realized.

Perhaps if you hadn't been a Death Eater that tortured people to insanity you might've had more chance to prove yourself.

Oh, now you really have to let me listen to you class. I love subjective teaching!

It's an entirely objective statement. You tortured Frank and Alice Longbottom so intensely that they lost their minds. You broke the law and you hurt more people than I can name. That means you deserved to stay in Azkaban with the sentence you were given.

Mostly because I'd assume you haven't heard about anyone else. My trial was only ever about the Longbottoms.

And I pleaded innocent.

Facts, Miss Granger. They help with that objectivity you claim to have.
