Chapter 23- Sorting?
December 4, 1994Filius had finished seeing their guests to their quarters in the castle when he made his way to the Headmaster’s Tower to meet Irma Prince and Severus.Severus and Irma were already there sorting through the books.Irma was shaking with anger.Filius called out softly, “What’s wrong Irma?”Irma turned to him, her eyes flashing, “That rotten man stole books from my library and he defaced them. He actually dared to write in my books! With ink I can’t erase!”Severus silently handed her a calming draught, “It seems that most of the books he has in this office he stole off Irma. She has no memory of him checking them out. He actually took all the books on Horcruxes.” He said in a horrified whisper.Irma nodded thanks as she took the draught in shaking hands and downed it.There was a growing stack of library books on the Headmaster’s desk.“How much of this is his?” Filius asked.Severus shrugged, “Most of what’s in here is Glamoured. Only the Pensieve and the floo seem to be real. I’ll be turning over the pensieve to Amelia, in case some of the memories are relevant to a case.”Filius nodded, “Yes, I think that would be a very good idea. Is there anything I can do to help speed the sorting process along?”Irma rest her hand on a stack of books, “I suppose you could take over sorting while I return this stack of books to my library.”Severus smirked, “Sounds like a marvellous idea. It will give Filius and I a chance to discuss any changes in regards to how Hogwarts should run. Go ahead and take those down. I’ll send an elf with another stack in half an hour.”Irma conjured a large box that must have a charm that made it capable of having many books inside. It should have held about five large tomes but she fit at least twelve inside. “I’ll return.”Once Irma left Filius turned to his former student and now right hand, “So what was it that you wanted to discuss?”“I have been reviewing the classes taught at Durmstrang and at Beauxbatons as well as classes taught here in the past. When you mentioned that it used to be the custom for professors to engage in research while teaching I wondered what other things Dumbledore changed.” Severus said seriously as he added another library book to a stack for Irma to return to its proper home.“What did you discover?” Filius had his own opinions on the subject that Albus had ignored.“That we used to offer more diverse options that would allow students to take classes relating to their career choice. Also that we used to have Sex Ed as a required course for Second Years. I think that was a very smart idea. Why don’t we offer a class on the different Magical races or one on the culture of Different Wizarding societies? I think those would all be very useful classes. Also Durmstrang offers a class on duelling that focuses on duelling with wands and weapons. I wish that had been offered when I was a student I would have taken it instead of Alchemy.” Severus was a little sheepish about offering his opinion to someone so much older.Filius mulled over Severus’ reply as he sorted out more books, “Did you know I once taught duelling for a year at Beauxbatons?”Severus turned to gape at him, before remembering his manners and closing his mouth. “What? I had no idea.”“I’d just won one of the most prestigious awards for duelling and I was invited to teach there as a visiting Professor. I was stunned at the difference in the Education system. They test for their equivalent of OWLS after six years of instruction. They offered more subjects then I had ever heard of. Some classes are only one term. I came here a few years later and I wanted to make Hogwarts a better school. Some of the Professors here are experts in their field: yourself, Minerva, I’m no slouch myself and you know who else are experts. We may not offer a lot of classes but the ones we do are often taught by experts.”Severus nodded.“I agree that removing Sexual Education for Witches and Wizards was a mistake. If you can find someone to teach it, it should be part of the curriculum starting next year. I suggest that it be offered as an optional class for the upper years and offered at a time that won’t conflict with their schedules. The other classes you mentioned are also worth considering. Perhaps, we could have guest lecturers from other Ministries discuss what their societies are like. Some of our students are the children of Ambassadors. They could discuss what their home culture is like.”Severus grinned, “I wasn’t sure what you would think about my ideas.”Filius patted him on the shoulder, “Someday you will make an excellent Headmaster. I’ve watched you with your snakes, you maybe strict with them but they trust you.”Severus was pleased. He and Filius would make an interesting team. Hogwarts was going to change, perhaps, for the better with new leadership…While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
