A small issues before hopefully going to scorched

[felledtoprotect]

 Admittedly, you seem to enjoy playing me and I do look forward to the chance to see familiar faces again, but there's one thing I think you need to consider before you send me in without my wand. 

1. There's at least one person in the city who would likely want nothing more than to see me dead again. 
2. see one 
3. see two.

 Aside from that though, I have no complaints as of yet, so we'll see how it goes.

As you mentioned his wife taking it over, I did assume that.

There might have been any number of reasons for that. It is Nymphadora, after all.

[felledtoprotect]

Might, meaning there weren't actually.

I'll take your word for it, I only knew of her, after all.

[brewglory]

[He has to stop himself here from saying 'Lucky you'.]

She is...precocious. And young.

[He's not going to think too hard about what he just said, okay?]

But I can say without being too generous that she is capable, as one would expect from an auror.

[felledtoprotect]

Precocious meaning she annoys you?

Yes, Aurors do tend to be capable of many things.

[brewglory]

Precocious meaning...precocious. That she annoys me is an entirely separate issue.

[felledtoprotect]

Of course.

And yet the way you described her made it rather clear.

[brewglory]

You will understand when you meet her and take into consideration that I was obliged to endure her personality for seven very long years while she attended Hogwarts.

...Admittedly, I never thought of you as the type to become a teacher.

[brewglory]

Admittedly, I never particularly wished to be one.

[felledtoprotect]

Why did you, then?

[brewglory]

It was where Dumbledore thought it best for me to remain. It was easier for him to remain in contact with me - and more importantly, easier for him to mind me lest my lesser qualities drive me to questionable acts.

[And, no doubt, to remind him of Lily. Halls filled with the ghosts of memories, classrooms where he studied with her, his own personal hell.

Brilliant, really.]
