I have no proprietary claim to Harry Potter or supernatural
Mr Smith's point of view
I have begun to look for candidates for this Phineas Black School of Magic. I've already selected three candidates for headmaster all of them are qualified. One of them a Charles G Moore graduated from Ilvermorny and is the most qualified. And, he is a first-generation or muggel-born. Of course won't actually get the job because of pure blood politics but that's neither here nor there. Then there is Ivan Jorgenoff a former transfigurations professor at Durmstrang Institute. He won't get the job because he's not British. And then there is the a Hogwarts potions professor who went into earlier retirement by the name of Horace Slughorn. The very definition of ambitious. Complete with his own club a famous students. Certain to accept the offer and be accepted without question.
With that out of the way I only had to select the flying instructor and I could pick from any number of retired quidditch players for that. I'll compile a list for Lord Black to go through and I'm sure he'll find someone to his liking. The Latin, Greek and French instructors would be a bit trickier. But any master spell crafter who knows the theory but is lacking an actual skill will do the trick there. I should at least have five names in each field by the end of the week. There is a course the more obscure languages which so far I've only found one candidate for and that is Pandora Lovegood a bit of a tough sell on both parties. But with her recent accidents I'm sure she'll be easier to convince than Lord Black. Though I'm sure He will find a way to use her eccentric nature as a means of showing that he is unbiased. The basic writing skills was the easiest all I had to do was look at the bottom of the list of teachers from Hogwarts who quit or were fired due to extinuating circumstances. One in particular stood out because he was said to be an expert in writing but had to quit because of a medical condition that is now managed. The same applies for Arithmancy and Herbology. The only challenge will be finding instructors for the students that don't get accepted into Hogwarts. But that Will be an issue for the headmaster once the school has started.
This would go a lot quicker if I wasn't having to deal with these incessant imperious curses. I've stripped them of their magic and transferred it to someone with a dormant core. Aka potential muggle-born, that should show those smug pure bloods a thing or two. Now all I have left to do is to present this to Lord Black.
Harry Blacks point of view
Mr Smith and Lord Black have been in the meeting for the last hour. Something about pure bloods losing magic and Mr Smith having to convince him to hire someone named Lovegood. But in the end invitations were sent out and meetings were set up.
Sirius black point of view
I'm stuck another order meeting apparently since grandfather decided to actually start a school. Dumbledore's been handling it horribly. This apparently is the last straw for his carefully cultivated facade. It seems that there are even less people attending the meetings now. So I'm guessing my grandfather's plan ls to under mine him is working. It's just a good thing Remus is in the US at some meeting with their department of magical creatures. Or else he would manage to bring in more support for the con man. Not only that but it would appear Lord black has managed to razzle and dazzle the wisengamot to quote Dean. With professor slughorn as the Headmaster. (That man always did like to stay connected.) Dumbledore seems confident that he can stay connected to him as well. I'm also not sure if this is a tug of war between my grandfather and Dumbledore or a dozen pure bloods playing games with each other.
At least they haven't brought up they still not moving investigation into the pure blood deaths. Now it's the Italian government that's refusing to cooperate. A week ago it was the French. By the time the case gets investigated it will be as cold as -89.2 C. That's not even mentioning the new case of quite a few pure bloods and half bloods who had a vested interest in who was hired at the Phineas Black School of magic. All of whom mysteriously lost their ability to cast spells. And seem to be suffering from permanent magical exhaustion. At least this one is in Britain so we don't have to deal with this international red tape. Even if I do know who the culprit is there is no way I'll be able to prove it anyway. So I might as well hand investigation over due to conflict of interest. Oh look it means finally ending and I can get back home to Aurora. It feels like it's been ages since I've been able to actually stay at the Manor House. Me and Aurora have even talked about becoming officially engaged. Though we know how much of a push our families are going to have to turn it into a wedding. I understand that reporters started a new career as a photographer maybe he could take pictures of the the one day wedding.
