Disclaim: If I owned, the last movie totally would have ended with Dark Lord Funk. So be glad I don't

Also not sure if this is better or worse than the first chapter. I might possibly do another one with the non-teaching adults.

Now while Harry Potter's yearmates were very well known, so to were their teachers who went with them to Hell.

So first let's start with Quirrel, for he was first to die. The tales that have spread about him should give everybody pause. He went away to find himself, and instead he lost control. He thought he'd discovered power, but had really only dug his hole. He fell to the whispers of the wraith of Voldemort, lured to him with false promises of power, might and gold. He gave up his body to feed a nasty soul. And he was forced to do whatever Voldemort required. And at the last discovered that Voldemort cared not if he expired. So listen children to the tale of poor Professor Quirrel. For reach too high and want too much will make your fall near fatal.

Second should be Professor Lockheart from year two. He was a lovely author who had written a book or two. But Lockheart knew within his heart that he was no good wizard. The only spell he knew reliably was how to erase memory. So in a fight, he was no use, but he could claim the credit. Which is what he did around the world, before he decided to settle. And so he took the job at Hogwarts, with little concern at all. For how much trouble could actually happen where Dumbledore made the calls? And so he went and tried to teach, and realized quick it was no easy feat. And so to keep his fanbase, he repeated the stories he never did. And in the end he fell to pride, and a luckily broken wand. The legacy that Lockheart has left is not what he had hoped. Instead he's remembered for being quite a dope. Now all of you who hear this tale, remember at least this: be careful what you do to others, for it will eventually come back to you.

I suppose Professor Kettleburn should be next, but there isn't much to say. He stayed for two years only. In fact, one might be inclined to say he got out early. Now while he had one arm and half a leg, everyone agrees, that retiring before year three was the smartest thing he did. So while there's no deep lesson in this brief journey they all went on, one might say that everyone gets lucky once. After all, he kept the arm.

Next we get to Remus Lupin, a very nice young fellow. He seemed a little ragged and weary, but was a very calming presence. He loved to teach and he loved his subject and it was very clear. Now human interaction was a thing he kind of feared. He distanced himself from his friends' only son, and lived a lonely life. But he tried his best to keep kids safe when a dangerous criminal was on the run. He taught young Harry his second signature spell, the one that made a stag. Unfortunately his story here becomes a little sorry. For he had borrowed a special map, that noted who was where, and rushed out one night to seek justice for a friend. This wouldn't be too bad you see, if he hadn't forgotten his drink. Because he was a werewolf and it was a full moon, and what a mess that could have been. He did come back, to fight the fight and protect those students he once taught. Unfortunately he died, a number in the fight. His story is a sad one, of loss and loss and loss, but really what one needs to get is that you mustn't wallow. All the loss that he had faced in his short thirty eight years, had led to him deciding that he didn't deserve a thing. He had a wife and had a son, but went to fight and hoped they'd won. Life is hard, and never easy, but you shouldn't ever give up. Because when he did, he almost lost that for which he fought.

And now we come to year four, and we run into a puzzle. To write about the Mad-eye Moody who was locked inside his trunk there? Or to tell the tale of his insane captor? Either way you tell it, the stories are entwined. Don't be an idiot, CONSTANT VIGILANCE. Then everything would have been fine. Instead, for seven months the original was locked up while in his place a devoted follower of Voldemort stood watch. Now, the fake was good at teaching, although he was insane. He preferred a hands on method, most nearly what the original would have done. Although for different reasons. For the fake enjoyed the darkest magic and reveled in it's usage. The original had a good code, to be ready for all that their uses. However he seemed to miss something the day he was trapped in a trunk. So better be careful, and keep an eye out because one never knows when something can go wrong. Also, children, do not keep your children under an Unforgivable even if they disagree with you. For if they break it, they will hate it, and most likely do you in. So CONSTANT VIGILANCE and let justice do its thing. Don't be crazy, I've heard that helps.

Year five we have Umbridge, and now we're at DADA professor five. She was pink and small and fat and was a bureaucrat. She did not teach what they should learn, and made the school a platform. And from this platform she expounded the glories of her master. She loved the rich and hated the poor and god forbid you be muggleborn. Oh, and if you did something she abhorred, she'd make you scar yourself as a reward. Indeed she tried to control too much, and enjoyed her dictator status. But as we all know, she created her enemy with every repressive decree. For in the end the students rose up, for teenagers are tricky. You tell them not to do something, and they will do it quickly. And to this day she does not know just why they never listened. So from this toad, comes this good lesson: the more you try to control everyone's actions, your enemies will pick up traction. She was felled by her own pride (and possibly the centaurs). She signed her own certificate, and dug a deep hole, but if you don't respect others, don't expect it in return.

And now we look at Dumbledore, the lord of Hogwarts castle. Despite the beliefs of the wizarding world sometimes he is no master. He isn't perfect or a saint, and yet he tried his hardest. The problem is he's thought of as a saint inside of many circles. There are no checks against his power, and so he must stride forth. He makes decisions with only his wisdom, and prays that everything works. And when it doesn't, he does nothing, but make another plan. For he had an end goal, and wanted it done, even if some people might be crushed under his thumb. The Greater Good he called it, this idea of peace for always. However, he just saw the bigger picture. He forgot the little details that might have been important. So here we come to the lesson, that no wizard is perfect, and can make mistakes.

Hagrid was a good fellow, although his tastes were rather odd. He took over for professor Kettleborn, to teach students of the creatures that he loved. His first textbook was one that bites, and many of his animals decided to fight. Sometimes Hagrid forgot that not everyone was like he. For he was half-giant, and a friend to many beasts. But some of those beasts enjoyed a wizard filled feast. And since his favorite creatures were often dangerous, he put his students in some danger, totally nonplussed. But still he tried to do his best, and worshiped those who helped him. He would not hear a word against Dumbledore, nor did he doubt him. He assumed there was a bigger picture, that he couldn't see, and so he helped with things that better left alone. He was very loyal, to his friends, his home, and Dumbledore, although he was quick to lose his confidence, and fast to drink it back. But despite mistakes, he tried his best, and that is all we can do. But maybe you should think a little before you follow through. Even if there might be a picture you can't see, blindly following anyone could be hazardous for you. Hagrid did survive, oh yes, but there were moments that were bad. In Azkaban second year, and kicked off the staff table in the fifth. He even had to watch as McGonagall was stunned. He always showed his loyalty although it caused him trouble: after all, it is kind of stupid to hold a party for the guy most wanted. Again, the story tells a tale of happiness and woe. It warns against blind faith you see, because blind faith does not help you.

Snape is an interesting man, and no one knows the truth. He was a spy, for one side a lie. Unfortunately for him he made a mistake when he was a whole lot younger, and insulted his friend and also crush so much that with him she never bothered. He loved devoted, loved for years, despite her marriage and death, but when her son came to school with a different face he was met. He taunted and tortured and verbally abused, under the guise of teaching. He tried to make the Slytherins more accepted to the school, but unfortunately his methods were really rather cruel. Points for breathing loudly, for not helping a student or helping a student, and only accepting the best. He would never win a popularity contest. And he ended up hurting his house more than help, for by taking points and giving punishments and allowing his students the reign he did, he turned into a bully. And that left three whole houses full of people who were convinced that they were evil. And despite the fact he hated bullying, and had been bullied long ago, he never taught those in his house that that was not the way to go. And when Voldemort came back, he walked a narrow line, and had to die while knowing that his life had been a lie. He had few friends, and many who disliked him. And he was stuck when he was appointed Headmaster by Voldemort, for he couldn't do anything that would seem against his lord. He managed to help as much as he could, although it cost him his life. He wasn't very happy with how it had turned out. The story here is careful, very careful you must be. For actions have consequences that you might not think or see. And also don't allow yourself to become a spy in war, for neither side will help you. The only thing that you accomplish is barely being tolerated, for no one is really sure just whose side your on in the first place.

McGonagall had her faults, as head of Gryffindor house. She did not favor her students over other houses. And sometimes she didn't listen, and often made mistakes. She really cared for her students though, despite her outer demeanor. She even cared about the people she just didn't like. For she brought back Trelawney when Umbridge kicked her out. A stern and powerful witch she was, and dedicated to her craft to boot. And even though she did not favor them, her students stood with her proudly. She made mistakes, and let things go that probably should have been reported, but she always did what she thought was right and what was needed. A tabby cat she could become, and use this to her advantage. Like her house she was brave, and always spoke her thoughts, although she sometimes accepted what other people thought. She disliked anyone who took the cowards way. She stood proud among the crowd at the Hogwarts Battle that day. Be like McGonagall children, and stand tall and proud, and know when to offer comfort and when it's okay to show your feelings. For it takes guts to go to one that you have not been nice to, and attempt to offer comfort even if you don't want to.

Sprout was a nice woman, head of Hufflepuff. She liked her plants and greenhouses, tending to them much. Although one might question some of what she taught. For after all, she helped to hide the philosophers stone, and yet she taught the first years all they needed to know. She had a big proud moment, that lasted but a year, when Cedric from her house became a Triwizard champion. And when he died, she mourned his loss, and dedicated herself to fighting Barty's boss. She protected her students from all she could; Umbridge and the Carrows. And when it came time for the final battle, she was not rattled. She went with what she knew, and prepared to go and battle. Here we have a minor moral, of strength and determination. She never backed away from any kind of toil. So follow her, and be determined. You don't have to shine. The dedicated people are most helpful sometimes.

Trelawney was a seer, although she didn't see so well. She saw a lot, and claimed a lot, but hardly did a spell. She liked to drink, a bit too much, and loved predicting doom. The only problem being, the doomed one never died. She did not let this bother her (I think because the sherry). She disdain those who frowned upon her subject on a whole, and correctly predicted that Hermione would walk right back out the door. She put up a face of mystery, believing that was needed, not knowing that her predictions came through her to another person. She never remembered the actual words, or even that it happened. She seemed to like her sherry much for she was often at it. She hardly interacted with anyone at all, but she came out at the battle call. She may have been mostly fake, but that stopped her not at all. She tried to save her favorite student from a werewolf named Fenrir, and though she failed to save her student, Fenrir was knocked unconscious. The moral here is stand real proud, for that is what she did. She didn't stop her tendencies when other people scoffed. And though she seemed absent, and although she was often wrong, the love she had for Lavender was really very strong.

Flitwick was a dueler, although he taught just charms. He was short but fair and proud of it. He liked his students and they liked him, although he had his problems. Poor Luna never got the respect that she should have. He made sure he walked the line with Umbridge, and protected all his students. The only problem he could see was that he trusted Severus. But when the call to arms came, he fought and fought and lived to see another day. He never let his size define him, as his opponents quickly discovered. He killed a few, and fought some more, and only came out a little sore. So here's his message, boys and girls, do not let size fool you. Short people can be dangerous to anyone at all.

Slughorn was a collector, of famous names and such. He enjoyed dropping names at parties and the like. He was decent at potions, thus why he got the post. However, Slughorn had a secret, a secret he wanted kept. For he told Tom about the horcruxes before Tom began to make them. He didn't want this known to others, shame of what he did. But even he was felled to luck and alcohol. He kept running as much as he could, content to hide in shadows of students he had taught. But when it came time to stand and fight he did not back away at all. So, dear children, the lesson here is your past will always catch you. Will you be brave and turn and face it?

Charity Burbage was hardly ever known. Her only crime, for which she died, was loving the muggleborn.
