Heya Mr L--

I was just wondering...

have YOU decided what you want to do now that the fighting's going to be a less regular thing?

other than get old?

didn't think I'd manage that.

hadn't thought about it much.

I'm a piss poor diplomat, so that's out. Al is busy enough for the both of us, I'll be doing what I can do be there for her, and there's Kev to look after. so maybe I'll be a stay-at-home mum for a while.

or maybe Rachel needs a hand training up the new recruits or something.

[alt_susan]

How would you feel about teaching?

[alt_susan]

Not that being a stay-at-home Dad would be a bad thing.

I'm sure Kev would love it.

[alt_frank]

you mean for Hogwarts?

can't say I'd ever considered it. Professor so and so.

heh.

why, they hurting for a defence instructor?

[alt_susan]

Rather! I had tea with Great-Aunt Mina today--she's staying on this year--and she was saying that the Defence position is the one that's been most difficult to fill.

It needs to go to someone trustworthy even more than most.

[alt_frank]

hm.

might give a chat to Septima, see if we can't sort things out.

it'd be tricky. merlin knows, some of those kids, I would've just fought their parents at Penzance. must be hard on them. I know my kids were well worried about having Rabastan as a teacher. took a while to lower their guard.

but if they need someone badly enough, I might give a hand for a year, see if it sticks.

[alt_susan]

He was fair in class and I can't imagine you'd be anything less. And you're a good teacher.

We'll all have to adjust to the presence of bad history I suppose.

I think you should give it go!

[alt_frank]

too right.

ta, kiddo.
