When Harry got home from his long day of work as an auror Lilly and his wife Ginny were waiting to greet him, however, as the summer had come to a close it was oddly quiet as James and Albus were enjoying their magical days at Hogwarts. Being an auror was great and all but Harry still missed those days. Eager to hear news of Albus's first day at Hogwarts Harry and his family had made there way to the fireplace to wait for his sons owls to arrive with the news of the house Albus was sorted in. After a few minutes of staring at the fireplace an owl finally flew in, but Harry's hopes soon disappeared when he realized it was just Fredwig with the Daily Prophet, as Harry went to pick up the prophet he glanced at the headline "Professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts Commits Suicide At Sorting Ceremony"
Shocked by this title Harry continued to read the article "Head of Hufflepuff house and DADA Professor, Gregory Gillyweed, aged 45, killed himself in front of the whole of Hogwarts at the the sorting ceremony today. This tragic event took place when the sorting hat was singing its song and mentioned how the Hufflepuffs were loyal patient and never afraid of toil, at the mention of this Professor Gillyweed who was the head of Hufflepuff interrupted the song and cried out 'I'm a failure of a Hufflepuff, a failure as a professor and am a waste to the wizarding world', and then performed the killing curse on himself. This caused a great amount of despair as many of his students had known the professor to be extremely pleasant and could not believe that he had done such a thing. This event caused great chaos amongst the Great Hall and therefore the remainder of the sorting ceremony has been postponed until things calm down. In the meantime Muggle Studies Professor, David Smith, has agreed to fill the place of Hufflepuff head of house but none is known at this time about whom the new DADA teacher will be.' and our deepest condolences go to friends and family of Gillyweed.
In shock of this article Harry called over his wife Ginny to discuss the matter. However, before she could walk over to Harry another owl flew in through the fireplace. This owl too was neither Albus's or James's instead this owl was one he had never seen before with beautiful black and silver feathers and attached to its claw was a letter addressed to Harry.
Harry opened the letter and started to read it.
Dear, Harry Potter
If you have read the daily prophet by now you should be aware of the tragedy that has stuck Hogwarts. You probably mindful of the fact that we are in need of a new Professor of the Dark Arts. I know you are busy with your job as Head of the Auror office and all, but I just want to let you know if you are interested I would gladly give you the position.
-Sincerely, Headmistress Violet Mel Drodchofth
looking over his shoulder Ginny spoke and said "Harry this is an amazing opportunity think of how close we will be to the kids"
"but what about your job as quidditch consultant and my job as Head of the Auror office" replied Harry.
"Its not like we need the money besides the students need you; and your the best defense of the dark arts teacher I had; and I had 8 different professors
"yes, but of those 8 one was a fraud, one resurrected Voldemort, and one didn't even teach us dark arts at all and forced me to teach you
"Harry are you forgetting about Snape and Lupin. We named our child after Snape, and your the godfather of Lupin's child
I guess your right it was them who got me were I am today, and if it wasn't for them i'd be dead. I suppose there's no better way to honor them then to follow in there foot steps"
"and what better way to protect the wizarding world from evil then teaching others to protect themselves"
"I suppose we could check out the houses at Hogsmeade".
"Then its settled you write to the headmistress and I will write to the boys" exclaimed Ginny.
