Rose Weasley was definitely a successful person. She had gotten very excellent grades throughout her years at Hogwarts, not unlike her mother. She could have had a lot of very high-up and well paying jobs, but there was, even when she was a young girl, a career that she had always aspired to; A Hogwarts Charms teacher. She had always figured her teacher, Professor Roach would've been there forever, but she had moved away to some city that was entirely irrelevant to this story. The grin that light up her face when she found out she had a chance, though...

Scorpius Malfoy was cool. He was suave. He was also intelligent, but didn't really think about the future in Hogwarts. Why should he? His life was great there. So, when he heard that his former school was looking for a new Hogwarts teacher, he figured, 'Sure, why not."
