my wizarding job


Professor Tobler, of course. Teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As Professor McGonagall is to be the new Head Master (Head Mistress), they need a new Transfiguration teacher and I have just been hired. Yes, it will be difficult. Everyone is still feeling the repercussions of Dumbledore's death and the seeming defection of the Potion's Master Professor Snape. (The potion's class is still headless- there have been many applicants, but the Head Mistress has yet to make a decision about who will teach that class.)
Although it is strange for an English school to hire an American, fresh ideas and new blood are needed. I fly to England next Tuesday to take the train from King's Cross Station to Hogsmeade. There, I am to meet Hagrid who will escort me to Hogwarts for a tour and an opportunity to settle in to my rooms here. School starts at the end of August and then the real work begins. Ahh- Hogwarts' Transfiguration Teacher Professor Tobler.
