Belle Loftman was a 20 year old witch who gets recruited by Dumbledore to teach in the upcoming school year and meets a mysterious new DADA teacher along the way
Belle
I wiped the sweat off of my brow as I finished helping another young couple give birth to their newborn child. Smiling at them, I made my way out of St. Mungo's and back to the examination room to gather a few more files.
"Miss Loftman, Albus Dumbledore is here to see you." I looked up at a nurse who came to inform me of my old headmaster arrival. It's been three years since I have last seen him and am quite shocked to hear from him again. In my time at Hogwarts, I wasn't particularly keen on getting into trouble so hearing about Dumbledore's arrival has given me quite the surprise.
I pulled my dark brown hair into a ponytail and walked to the waiting room where I could clearly see Dumbledore patiently waiting with his half-moon glasses perched on his nose. When he saw me approach closer to him, he gave me a soft smile and stood up to greet me.
"Ah, Belle! How good to see you again." He shook my hand and I smiled back.
"No Problem, Professor. What do I owe this visit to?" I asked as he started to walk ahead of me. I caught up to him as he continued to speak.
"Belle, from your years at Hogwarts I can clearly recall that you were quite frankly the one of the brightest witches of your age," I slightly blushed at the compliment from one of the smartest wizards of all time. "-and I can see that you have a wonderful career as a healer here in St. Mungo's. So, I would like to ask you to come back to Hogwarts this upcoming school year." Our pace started to slow down as my eyebrows furrowed.
"But Sir, I already completed my wizarding education. What more would you like me to learn?" I asked confused. He chuckled and quickly corrected himself
"Sorry dear, I would very much like it if you would come back to Hogwarts as a professor. Three of our teachers who were present last year have decided to step down from the job and I have already been able to close two positions. I'm offering you to teach History of Magic as Professor Binns has wanted to 'take a break' from all the activity at Hogwarts." I nodded my head at his words. Binns was probably the most boring teacher ever to teach at Hogwarts, he wasn't even alive! I looked back at Dumbledore's expectant eyes.
"But Professor, I'm not even sure that I would be able to teach the children. I haven't had any experience." I replied hastily.
"Nonsense!" Dumbledore boomed and I quickly looked around to make sure no one was looking at us.
"-You have tutored the Weasley twins in Transfiguration since they arrived at Hogwarts. I don't think History of Magic could be any harder than that, could it?" I grinned at the headmaster's words. Hogwarts was probably the best time of my life. Although I enjoy being a healer here, the job eventually starts to take its toll on you when you start to see pretty traumatizing things. I smiled at the wiser man and nodded my head.
"Alright, Professor." Dumbledore warmly smiled back with his cheerful blue eyes.
"Thank you again, Belle. Also, no need to call me Professor. We're co-workers now after all," I nodded as he continued. "-the term begins September 1st, as I'm sure you are aware. Please Floo into my office and you can get yourself acquainted before the start of term feast." With a flick of his wrist and a final smile, he apparated out of the hospital. I glanced at the calendar that was posted on the wall. September 1st was only a few days away. I sighed at my inability to say now and walked up to my supervisor to explain my temporary leave from the hospital.
