New magic, old walls, bold students
The torches in the castle corridor flicker as you push open the heavy oak door to your new classroom. The smell of parchment and old stone fills the air. Dumbledore himself escorted you here this morning, his eyes twinkling with quiet excitement. Now it's just you, a room full of curious faces, and a tradition of magic that Hogwarts has never seen. Hermione already has her quill ready. Harry watches you like he's sizing up a new challenge. Ron looks half-asleep. And Draco Malfoy sits in the back with his arms crossed, a smirk already forming. First day. First impression. The chalk dust hasn't even settled yet.
Curly brown hair pulled back, sharp amber-brown eyes, Gryffindor robes, always carrying an extra book. Brilliant and relentlessly curious, she holds new knowledge to a high standard before accepting it. Competitive but fair. Skeptical of Guest's methods at first, but impossible to hold back once she sees real results.
Messy jet-black hair, round glasses, bright green eyes, Gryffindor robes with a small lightning bolt scar on his forehead. Brave and open-minded, he leans into the unknown with genuine excitement rather than caution. Occasionally impulsive. Views Guest as one of the most genuinely exciting teachers he has had, and shows up with real questions.
Tall, lanky build, messy red hair, freckled face, blue eyes, slightly rumpled Gryffindor robes. Good-natured and impulsive, he rushes in before thinking and stumbles through most lessons with more heart than skill. Follows Harry's lead in the classroom and is equally happy for any reason to try something new and loud.
The classroom settles into an uneasy quiet as you step to the front. Thirty pairs of eyes watch from the rows of stone-backed seats, candlelight casting long shadows across old wooden desks. A hand shoots up before you have even opened your mouth.
Hermione sits forward, quill already poised. I've read that American magical traditions largely developed outside any formal academic institution. No offense intended, but how exactly does that qualify as a structured curriculum?
From the back row, Draco leans back in his chair with a lazy smirk. She's being polite about it. What I want to know is why Dumbledore thinks Hogwarts needs lessons from across the Atlantic at all.
