With each new sentence she said, Malachi found himself spiraling further into shock and absolute confusion. It was to the point where her responses were literally stressing him out and the Headmaster honestly wasn’t sure where to begin. Was it possible to feel the moment your blood pressure began to rise?
There were several times when the man’s mouth opened only to close again. Words were proving difficult to grasp and if he was being honest, he could now feel the beginnings of a small headache rising. His stomach churned at the reminder of the previous term and the way she’d overreacted and frightened the students with her strong words. He could only hope that was a one off experience never to be done again.
“Saying you could handle small, pink creatures doesn’t equate to you being able to take on bigger and fiercer threats. Can you wrestle an acromantula? Take down or defend against a dragon with bare hands? Rescue a student being pulled away by grindylows? These are all threats that can occur on any given day. To say you didn’t think anything would go wrong is a terribly shortsighted way of operating in a magical environment. Constant vigilance, especially when there are young lives on the line. Lives you’ve been tasked with protecting.”
Her mention of her file and her willingness to do anything reminded him of yet another matter to be addressed but first. “The only way you can show me you’re fit to keep this job is to prove to me you’re capable of carrying out all required duties. That means being able to be a strong leader, calm in the face of disaster and danger. Magically competent. I need you up to the standards of a Hogwarts Professor. It’s not enough to say ‘I only teach History of Magic, my subject doesn’t need magic and I can’t cast so deal with it’. I need actual effort but more than effort, I need results. What would have happened if Thereos hadn’t found the lot of you? Would you all turn up missing because you didn’t have your wand and couldn’t use it even if you did? It’s a liability. You are making yourself a liability that the school can not afford. The only option is to get up to standard. I’ll arrange to have you undergo special training, first with me until we get this mist sorted, then down by the ministry during the summer. Take it seriously. You’ll be assessed after, before any plans of further employment can be discussed.” Those would be his terms.
“And another thing.” One the man found as curious as he found it confusing and concerning. “Why have you been sneaking around and asking the elves to spy for you?” When Algamus had come to him about it, he’d honestly found the whole thing....strange. Even now it was quite strange. What exactly are you looking for? And why?”
