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.

I won't. I know how to take care of myself, Remus, I promise.

[ Her expression softens and she leans closer. ]

Trust me, alright?

I'm learning to.

[A small smile.]

Now. I believe we've strayed a bit off topic, hm?

A little.

[ Hermione's expression softens and she brings her hand back. ]

I was wondering what you thought was most important to change first. I mean, I think that Wolfsbane should be offered to all werewolves by the Ministry free of charge, but...

It's certainly a good idea-- I think schools really ought to be first priority, though. We hadn't any idea what we were going to do when I was a child, because you're effectively barred from the magical world if you haven't an education. You can only get the worst jobs, you won't be able to do very much in terms of spells, even if your parents try to teach you-- I mean, education really is the key.

So there needs to be some kind of system to make sure that werewolf children can attend magical schools? Not a law, exactly, but -- something to ensure that all children that are afflicted have the opportunity to go to the school of their choice.

[ She smiles, nodding her head and settling in her chair. ]

There also needs to be reform in schools. Students need to be given an unbiased account of werewolves - it's not fair that the only things we learn about them are entirely negative.

Both of those things.

[He rubs the back of his mouth with a wrist.]

Which we can start here. Let's begin by dispelling the myth we crave human flesh-- we're carnivores, yes, but not for humans, particularly.

I know that for certain. I've only ever met one werewolf that deliberately went for humans and that was Greyback.

[ She knows of the connection and her expression softens a little before she licks her lips. ]

People like you - or Bill, who have inherited werewolf traits - have never acted like that. It's a disgusting stereotype that needs to be put to rest.
