The Dark Inheritance

Dumbledore

Natasha almost laughed. Keyword: almost. Such sheer utter nonsense. Who the fuck studies Defence against the dark arts? She studied Darkest of the arts at Silesia and now she had to defend from it? Hogwarts is mad. In Silesia she studied Combats, Dueling, Sacrificial Magic, Rune magic, Blood magic, Potions, Poisons, Magical Creatures, history of the wizarding world, study of plants and common use of charms.

Natasha chuckled, feeling a sense of dread about her new schools. "That is a wholelot of subjects" Natasha chorused. "Could you tell me about the headmaster and professors?" she asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.

Dumbledore chuckled. "Armando Dippet is the headmaster of Hogwarts. A great man he is is. Then there is me, the deputy head of Hogwarts." Dumbledore smiled.

"And then there is Professor Galatea Merrythought , the Defence against the dark arts professor. She's strict, but fair. Then there's Professor Tryphena Vassy the Charms professor.She's a bit of a showman, but she's also a brilliant teacher. She is also the head of Ravenclaw house. And there is Professor Horace Slughorn. He is a..jolly individual. Always happy, that man. He's our Potions master, and he's the head of Slytherin house.
Then we have Professor Armstrong Diggory. He is your Herbology teacher and the head of the Hufflepuff house.
Professor Ambrosia teaches you Astronomy. Professor Adam Trustrun teaches you Divination. Professor Cuthbert Binns teaches you history of magic. And then we have Professor Cathida Carson, she teaches Arthimancy. Professor Cairo teaches you Ancient Runes. Professor Salvo is you care of Magical Creatures teacher. And last but not least, I am your Transfiguration professor and the head of Gryffindor house." He spoke.

Natasha raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the hint of dryness in Dumbledore's tone.
"What else is there,professor?" Natasha faked her curiosity. She needed to do that very often infront of the man. She can't afford to ruin her good reputation.

Dumbledore smiled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Ah, yes, Hogsmeade. How could I forget it?.It's a charming village, full of shops and inns that cater to the students of Hogwarts. You'll find everything from sweet shops to broomstick suppliers. And of course, there's the famous Three Broomsticks pub, where you can enjoy a butterbeer or a pumpkin fizz. You have a trip to Hogsmeade every Saturday"

Natasha's eyes fake widened at the mention of Hogsmeade. "That sounds wonderful, Professor. I'm looking forward to exploring it."

Dumbledore nodded. "I'm sure you will enjoy it, Miss Draggonmirof. And speaking of enjoying yourself, I must mention that you'll have the opportunity to take your OWLs in your fifth year. OWLs, or Ordinary Wizarding Level exams, are a crucial milestone in any young witch or wizard's education."

Natasha's ears perked up at the mention of OWLs. "What subjects will I be taking OWLs in, Professor?" she asked.

Dumbledore leaned forward, his eyes serious. "Ah, that will depend on your interests and aptitudes, Miss Draggonmirof. You'll be taking OWLs in the subjects you've been studying, such as Charms, Transfiguration, Potions, and Herbology. And of course, Defense Against the Dark Arts is also an important subject."

Natasha nodded, taking it all in. "And what about after OWLs, Professor? What comes next?"

Dumbledore smiled. "Ah, after OWLs, you'll have the opportunity to take your NEWTs, or Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests. These exams are even more challenging than OWLs, but they're a crucial step towards becoming a qualified witch or wizard."

Natasha faked a surprised reaction at the mention of NEWTs. "That sounds like a lot of work, Professor," she said.

Dumbledore chuckled. "Ah, yes, it is a challenge, but I have no doubt that you'll rise to it, Miss Draggonmirof. You have a strong work ethic and a keen mind. I'm confident that you'll do well in your studies and go on to achieve great things."
