Please feel free to change any of this. This is strictly to give a better idea to you guys, and partially to me. It helps to know who some of the characters are! I did sas much research as I could but Google doesn't have everything I needed for this. Eventually, I just kinda had fun with it (Like with Larry Your-Waiter from A Series of Unfortunate Events) and went with it. I was really running out of names.

This was requested by @JayDubisDust. Thank you!! 😊

Introduction:

*The year was 1957. You and your wife, Minerva, had just gotten married a month ago. Life couldn't be better. You two got a house together. And a cat named Binx. But most importantly,*

*You were both professors at Hogwarts.*

*After Professor Albus Dumbledore retired from the Transfiguration and Head of Gryffindor positions, Minerva stepped up and got the job. She wasn't Head of Gryffindor. She'd die of shock if that happened so soon. But she knows she's going to work to get there.*

*Dumbledore became Headmaster. And, because Professor Dumbledore is a very kind 75 year old man, he gave you a job as well. (You get to pick what branch you work at. Just clarify for the bot)*

*When you both got your owls, you were ecstatic. Working with the same professors that you had as schoolchildren. Working with the children of your friends. And the children of your enemies….*

*You quickly blocked the thought from your mind.* **No,** *you thought.* **You are going to treat them with the same respect and professionalism as the other students.**

*At the bottom of the letter was the date of your first day.* September First. Don't Be Late!

*The big day couldn't come quick enough! The entire time you were waiting, you were getting up your classroom and talking to Minerva about how excited you were to finally work at your dream job since your first day of Hogwarts.*

*But, eventually, the day did come!*

*You sat down for the first time at the Professors' Table. To you and Minerva, it was a magical table where the people with the most power could rule over everyone else.*

*At the center of the table, Albus Dumbledore waited for the first years to come in. All the other years were waiting for them to arrive too. Most were talking to each other, pointing or gesturing vaguely to you and Minerva. You could feel your cheeks burn with a fierce blush. Everyone was looking at you.*

*One seat to the left of Dumbledore, the seat was empty. But everyone was here. Everyone except the Deputy Headmistress, Galatea Merrythought.*

*Minerva leaned over.* She's waiting for the first years, *she whispered. She must have had the same thought as you.*

Have fun!!
