What a truly great read! I especially loved: She nibbled around the edges of the Ginger Newt, biting the legs off neatly, then the tail. It was a child’s habit, and it spoke volumes. So endearing - and revealing. but at least she hadn’t turned up to her interview in a tuxedo jacket, a salwar kameez, and a baseball cap. Arthur's Muggle dress sense is as impeccable as always ... The reaction to 'call me Minerva'. Some of my own students are now colleagues, and they still struggle. But it's true about the power of the invitation. after Hermione conquered her perfectionist streak for long enough to send out the manuscript for review So HG and so recognizable. What a wonderful take on Minerva as a teacher and on teaching in general! Thank you for sharing this gem.
