Hey, Hogwarts. The name's Leon Kennedy, and I'll be joining the staff here.

Let's get the formalities out of the way. I'm an Auror, trained in both the American and British ministries, and I fought in the recent war. I'll be here teaching Pre-Auror Studies to help some of you aspiring Aurors get acquainted with the training you'll receive once you graduate. It's gonna be tough, and I won't go easy on you.

If you have any questions about myself or the class, feel free to ask.

What are you going to be covering?

Because really, I don't plan on being an auror. But if the classes are interesting I'll go for them.

[nothanks_bro]

We'll be getting into a lot of advanced magical combat, as well as stealth and concealment methods. This is mostly a preparatory class, so don't expect more than beginning techniques.

[arrogantalloy]

Well, consider me signed up.

[nothanks_bro]

What's your name?

[arrogantalloy]

Stark. Tony, Stark.

Welcome To Hogwarts Professor Kennedy.
Im Sure Youll Be An Asset To The Students Here.

[nothanks_bro]

I'm hoping so.

WELCOME TO HOGWARTS, PROFESSOR KENNEDY! WITH ALL THE AURORS WE HAVE TEACHING HERE I'M SURPRISED WE'RE ONLY JUST NOW GETTING A PRE-AUROR INSTRUCTOR.

[nothanks_bro]

Guess after the war, they figured it'd be necessary.

[speterman]

You fought in the recent war?

[nothanks_bro]

I got involved a bit late, but I managed to do my part.

[speterman]

You helped a lot of people, yeah?

[nothanks_bro]

It comes with the job. We're not just about hunting down Death Eaters.

[speterman]

No, no! I know! I think it's a really good thing, you know? I think if you can help someone, it's your moral obligation, not choice, responsibility.

Sorry, I sound like a fanboy or something.

Welcome to Hogwarts!

[nothanks_bro]

I'd be helping people even if I wasn't an Auror. I joined the Ministry with intent to protect.

What's your name?

[speterman]

That's good of you.

Peter Parker. Just your friendly scholastic Ravenclaw.

[nothanks_bro]

I'll remember that. Do you have any interest in becoming an Auror? Or are you just an admirer?

[speterman]

Well, I mean, I want to do something that will help people and save lives. I think it's a little bit of both to be honest...

[donutsanddestiny]

Fought in the war? Against Death Eaters and all?

[nothanks_bro]

Yeah. Pretty much.

[donutsanddestiny]

That's incredibly fascinating!

[nothanks_bro]

You think so? Are you interested in becoming an Auror?

[donutsanddestiny]

God, no! But it's still interesting.

[nothanks_bro]

What's wrong with being an Auror? You don't like them or something?

[donutsanddestiny]

I'm not much good with combat.

[nothanks_bro]

Magical or physical?

[donutsanddestiny]

Either, really.

[nothanks_bro]

How do you do in Defense Against the Dark Arts?

[donutsanddestiny]

Good at theoretical things, only decently in practice.

[nothanks_bro]

If you ever need any extra practice, you can come to me. You don't need to worry about joining my class. I'll happy to lend a hand.

[donutsanddestiny]

Oh... Well, I appreciate that.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Sir, can third years join?

[nothanks_bro]

You'll have to get a recommendation from your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. And take an assessment test. But if you think you're up for it, why not?

[actuallyspeakslatin]

I can do that. You'll have it on your desk for morning.

[nothanks_bro]

I look forward to it.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Good, and just so you know, my name is Natasha Romanoff. I'm in Ravenclaw.

[nothanks_bro]

I'll make a note of it.

Have you always been interested in becoming an Auror?

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Not always, but I keep hearing all about the things they've been doing and it's been inspiring.

[nothanks_bro]

We do some pretty good work. You've got a few years. Maybe you'll make a decision.

[seeringlight]

Would it be rude to ask about your experiences during the war? I find it fascinating to hear a story straight from someone involved. Text books only can do so much.

[nothanks_bro]

I'm not really the kind of person to keep things to myself. I joined up with the British ministry at a rough time during the war. There were already a lot of casualties on either side. Imagine getting involved in something when you weren't really sure where you stood.

[seeringlight]

That sounds like a terrible place to be in. I appreciate you supporting though.
Did you work with any brilliant people during that time? I imagine being out there was fairly terrifying, but I would love to know if you had any specific stories that you think are worth telling. I'm still uncertain of my future occupation, but I am both fascinated in what it takes to be an Auror, but I have a perchance for being a novelist. Stories will only help further either or both.
