My work continued to keep me very busy in the years after Voldemort's defeat. On the advice of my remaining team members, I decided to return to the ministry and continue my work for the Department of Mysteries undercover in the Quidditch League and Duelist arenas. My flying lessons at Hogwarts were a success.
When the managers of the Ireland and Scotland teams learned I was working at Hogwarts, they offered me extra compensation as a recruiting scout if I was able to recommend any Hogwarts Quidditch players for their teams.
After the way Crouch treated his son, and the accusation of a popular sports hero, he fell out of popularity within the ministry. Cornelius Fudge moved into the favored position for next Minister of Magic.
I purchased the wizarding wand and broom tree farm, and began my racing broom restoration business on the side, eventually selling some of the brooms through Quality Quidditch Supplies. This earned me another circuit to watch while I went to various broom shows as a seller. And so things stood, until Harry Potter came to Hogwarts.
===================================There is a Philosophers stone. Here. At Hogwarts.
Because Dumbledore had a feeling it wasn't safe at Gringotts.
This news is almost as remarkable that Harry Potter will finally be joining the wizarding world. Has it truly been 10 years since Lord Voldemorts downfall? I think best when my hands are full so I head out to the workshop to overhaul a few more brooms for the new term. I spelled the skylight windows to open and went to work polishing and trimming. A few hours must have passed when Professor Flitwick came in and cleared his throat to get my attention, startling me.
"What can I do for you, Professor?" He was looking around the workshop with interest.
"I see why you disappear out here so often." He said approvingly. He picked up one of the brooms I was restoring from the workbench.
"May I?" I gestured for him to go ahead, with a wave of my hand and a smile. He took out his wand and tapped the broom. It flew to a sharp hover. As he did a careful examination of my work, I stored the tools and cleared the workbench. When I was done, he set the broom down.
"You always were good at charms work. Interesting way to combine that with your enjoyment of old brooms. Well, to business." I led the way back to my office through the cases of antique brooms.
"Albus placed me in charge of one of the rooms guarding the... well the item. The idea I have is to combine all the skills needed to be a top-notch quidditch player with a catch." He went on to describe a room filled with flying keys, and the person crossing the room would have to pick the correct key out of several dozen. All while flying on a broom and being pelted by the various keys.
The heads of the houses were each given the assignment to focus on the skills and of the houses. Slytheryn, logic and cunning; Gryffendor, courage and fortitude; Hufflepuff, hard work and dicipline; Ravenclaw, learning and cleverness. How each teacher chose to interpret that was up to the individual's talents and interests. He also asked Professor Quirrill to contribute something from the dark arts, and Hagrid to donate a suitable doorkeeper.
"I need your help with this- first to spell and automate several dozen flying keys, as well as the indefinite loan a few brooms- which I'd like you to charm however you see fit. Think you can have them ready in 3 days?"
"Not a problem. I'll get started this afternoon. When would you like to meet to start spelling keys?"
"Come to the charms classroom this evening after dinner and we can get started. Thanks in advance for your help."
(later that evening)
"So we have 5 basic types of keys. Those that are flying around randomly with no purpose, those that fly away, those that attack who ever is on the broom, those that will just fly chaotically around whoever is on the broom, and finally those that are acting as protectors to the ones that fly away. Lets get to work."
It was cheery working with him, it was late into the night before we were even a third of the way through the charming and duplicating of the keys.
I'll be interested to learn what the other professors are working on someday.
