Congratulations, Eric!
And good luck, Travis! I hope you will do a better job as a teacher for Defense Against the Dark Arts than most of your predecessors and that you won’t kill anybody.
Wow!!
My humble thanks to all who voted! I’m genuinely surprised.
E-Owl is on the way, Travis
Congratulations!
Let’s quickly review the fates of the DADA teachers at Hogwarts starting with Harry’s first year: Quirrell: dies from the trauma of touching a totally good person; Lockart: goes to St. Mungo’s after losing his memory while searching for the basilisk; Lupin: resigns after his liitle secret is “outed”; Crouch Jr: is soul-sucked by Dementors after he runs out of polyjuice; Umbridge: kidnapped by the centaurs after she insults them on their own turf; Severus Snape: becomes persona non grata after AK’ing the Headmaster; and Amycus Carrow who, much to his regret, spits at McGonagall’s face and gets cruciatused for his pains. So bad or sad endings for those seven DADAs.
But rumour has it that after the fall of Voldemort, the position was permanently staffed.
No need to worry Travis. I think that the curse has been lifted.
