If my kids were magic, I would want the school to have Eliot Spencer teaching DADA not Snape.
Also because Eliot is like the best mom-type in the whole wide world.
Eliot would either not let you get away with anything or make that disgruntled sigh and help you with what ever it was you were up to while bitching about how your performing your mischief wrong the whole time
Eliot would totally be that teacher that also showed the kids how to deal with dark wizards with a knife, books and whatever else you could get your hands on before they even cast a spell.
Now I’m thinking he’s not DADA but something like herbology, just to surprise people.
I expanded on the idea over on my twitter, the basic plot being “the Leverage Crew has to unravel a conspiracy at Hogwars by pretending to be teachers, despite none of them actually having any magic” and yeah, yeah it’s basically all of this.
Like, the big plot twist would be Eliot ACTUALLY IS A WIZARD but he still thinks teaching his students martial arts in DADA is more effective than memorizing countercurses.
Other highlighs:
Hardison invents assistive devices for squibs & starts writing his own custom spells by dissecting spell linguistics and breaking them down like programming.
Parker gains a reputation in transfiguration – “She can make ANYTHING disappear!!”
Nate looks over all the low-magic classes he could pose as the teacher for, throws that list aside, and decides he’s gonna teach Charms despite having 0 magic.
Sophie is actually a squib from a pureblood family that’s why nobody can fucking figure out her origin story
Agatha: Ah, good, finally some downtime.
Zeetha: I know, let’s relax a little. Take a nice bath!
Agatha: What, no, I’m going to work on addressing all the various mad science issues we’ve been trying to fix for several books now. I actually have the time to do it! Maybe we can finally have progress!
Zeetha: In what, a year real time?
Agatha: Don’t ruin this for me!
“They were the worst of the worst – the Heterodyne’s hand-picked warriors. His bloodiest marauders, who rode with him for the sheer joy of the slaughter. They were the ones given the jägerdraught. That’s what all the stories say.”
“They took it freely. That’s in all the stories, too.”
Mod #2 apologizes for the delay. She got Twilight Princess on Wednesday and has accumulated more than 25 hours of in-game time from non-stop play. OTL.
Apologies for the minor delay in posting, but here at last, we’re getting somewhere in the story. Thank you for your patience, and hopefully, you enjoy the new style.
