Harry Potter One Shots

Albus Dumbledore X Reader Professor

(Newt's timeline)

(Y/n's P.O.V)

In school, I was a lonely Ravenclaw that people forgot existed. But I didn't mind it. People can be a distraction, and distractions were not good for me. I, Y/n Y/l/n, get distracted quickly, so I was okay with the peace and quiet. However, this year was going to be different. I have always followed my dreams of becoming a teacher. Back when I was in Hogwarts, during the holidays, I would babysit the children in my street. Now that I have finished school and done some further training, I am seeking a real job. So, I have come back to the place where it all began, Hogwarts.

This year, being my first year, I will only be an assistant teacher to Professor Albus Percival Wolfric Brain Dumbledore's Defense Against the Dark Arts class. I will learn the way he teaches class and what goes on behind the lessons. I will also plan some lessons and then teach them.After seeing my old Headmaster, I am now wandering the halls I once called home for seven years. I remember my past as I head towards my future. As I reach the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, I take a moment to settle my breathing before I knock gently. The door slowly swung open, and there stood a kind young man not much older than myself.

"Good afternoon, you must be Y/n! I'm Albus," he greets, reaching out to shake my hand.

"Indeed I am, Y/n Y/l/n," I say, shaking his hand.

"Welcome to our classroom for the year. I'm sure you will do just fine. The students are outstanding. As long as you respect them, they will respect you," he says, welcoming me to the oh-so-familiar classroom. Even now, years later, nothing has changed.

"I will learn much from you this year, Professor," I say, impressed by his kind eyes and the knowledge beyond his age that lies behind them.

"Please call me Albus. You are a teacher this year, after all. And I am sure you will learn a lot, but you will also teach me a lot," he says, indicating that we will get along just fine this year.

"How would I be able to teach you?" I ask, a little confused.

"You will have a different teaching technique, and I will be able to learn that technique by watching you over the year," Albus explains.

"Thank you, Albus, for letting me help out," I say, grateful for the opportunity.

"You're more than welcome, Y/n! Come, the students will be arriving soon," Albus says, showing me to my room before we head to the Great Hall for dinner.

After the sorting is finished and the sorting hat has sung his song, the Headmaster gets up to make his start-of-year speech. I zone out because this is for the students, not me. I zone back in just in time to hear the Headmaster introduce me.

"And last but certainly not least, we have a new student teacher this year, Professor Y/n Y/l/n, who will be assisting Professor Dumbledore this year," the Headmaster announces.

I stand up, curtsy, and all the students applaud.

Once the applause dies down, I sit back down, and the feast begins. I sit with Albus and Minerva, talking and enjoying the meal.
