Dear Mr Grey,
We're pleased to inform you that your application for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in Hogwarts has been approved. We're looking forward to your appearance for the interview tomorrow at 9 am. The floor network will opened for use. The co-ordinates are xx-yy-zz.
Yours faithfully,
Minerva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress.
Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.
After reading the letter, Richard Grey nodded with a smile. He is a reincarnator, but he reincarnated much earlier than expected. He got Hogwarts letter a couple of years after voldemort attacked Harry Potter. He worked like crazy and even explored many places in Hogwarts and even dwelled into restricted sections for more magic.
Although his efforts yielded some results, he failed to grow to the level of a powerful wizard. He is slightly stronger than snape with his current power and that is after doing many rituals that are within his range of wealth. Richard worked as an auror in ministry and was disgusted with the amount of corruption in ministry. It's basically a safehaven for purebloods that abused loopholes within the law.
In the last two years of his service he caught more than 70 dark wizards and most of them are from these pureblood families. Even if they're caught with an evidence that leaves them no way but execution, somehow these purebloods found ways to get those people out or make the evidence disappear or even resorting to threatening innocents to take their place.
As a result, he also made some enemies. He has nothing but disgust towards these people. He resigned his job for two reasons. One, he is disgusted with the ministry. Two, his system appeared just in time. When he resigned and wanted to establish a business, he unexpectedly got his cheat.
Teacher Feedback System.
The novice mission needs to him to join the Hogwarts as a professor and teach them to get the feedback rewards. As long as his students give him a positive rating or gain improvement due to his teachings, he will also gain a corresponding rewards. So he chose to become a professor at Hogwarts instead. That's his story.
The next day, he dressed neatly and usedthe floor network. Throwing the floor powder he said," Deputy Headmistress office, Hogwarts ", in green flames he disappeared and appeared in McGonagall's office. Coughing ash slightly he waved his wand and cleaned up the mess.
In front of him is McGonagall. He said," Good Morning Professor McGonagall. I hope you're doing well. And Hogwarts needs another mode of transport. Floo network always messes up the appearance don't you agree? ", he complained a little at the end.
McGonagall looked at him without blinking for a few seconds and said," Good morning Mr Grey. I'm doing fine. And I can see from your complaining, that you're doing just as fine. Shall we start the interview? The headmaster is waiting, let's not delay anymore and we have tight schedule because the term will begin in a couple of days ".
McGonagall directly led him to the headmaster's office while Richard sighed. She certainly still held the grudge it seems. He once pranked her using cat mint, and let's say she almost blew up the Griffyndor common room that day. But she never found who added cat mint till Richard graduated.
Since she held a grudge for that particular incident. Richard said," I apologise for my past actions professor ", McGonagall paused and gave him a stern glance before saying," I'm not petty enough to hold a grudge on a former student Richard but still what you did certainly crossed a line and it's childish to do a prank on a professor just because you're caught in your night tour, got detention and lost 20 points isn't it? Adding to that you used my Animagus against me is certainly an underhanded tactic ".
Richard coughed in embarassment and said," sorry, I propose I certainly isn't doing pranks anymore? ", McGonagall looked at him with a baffled gaze," yeah you certainly stopped doing pranks since yesterday, before that you even filled many of your superiors offices with a Gemini charm enhanced stinky and sticky slime. And you did it even to the minister of magic. It certainly caused quite a boom in daily prophet, and as usual, you left no clue that it's your doing isn't it? ".
Richard said," just some retaliation for the troubles they caused me. It doesn't count as a prank ", McGonagall said," Richard ", He asked," Yes professor ", McGonagall said," shut up ", Richard sighed. Looks like the old lady is still angry about the cat mint.
They arrived at the headmaster's office and McGonagall said," sherbet lemon ", the statue moved forming stairs that took them automatically to the headmaster's office. Opening the door, they saw Dumbledore who is reading an alchemy magazine while eating candies.
He looked at them and said while biting the candies," *crunch* ah, Minerva and, the infamous ghost of Hogwarts, Richard, how are you? ", Richard said," just doing fine professor. How are you doing? ".
" Not at all okay my boy. As you can see I have loads of work to do and my old bones are creaking whenever I take a step. *Crunch* want some lemon toffees ", Dumbledore said. " You know I prefer chocolate more than this headmaster ", Richard said.
" Certainly Grey, I didn't forget your taste, afterall, you used to come to my office quite often when you're in Hogwarts. I remember Snape always complain about you making his office and classroom a mess with your strange potion experiments ", Dumbledor said with a smile.
Richard smiled and said," ah those good days at school. I even laugh now whenever I remember professor Snape's face when i did that ", McGonagall gave both of them a cold glance. Dumbledore coughed and said," ahem, let's start your interview. Minvera, can you leave us alone for a minute or so? ".
McGonagall looked at Dumbledore for few moments straight before exiting the office. Dumbledore turned to Richard and asked," Moody said you're doing very fine in the ministry. Why are you here Richard? You resigned to the auror job that many wanted and wanted to become a Hogwarts professor. Tell me your reason? And you may know about the DADA job right? ".
