Professor Application - Zaiden Black

Guest

Your Full Name: Zaiden Black

School where you graduated (Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, ...): Hogwarts

Subject you are applying for: Ancient Runes

Why do you want to become a professor?: I'd like to pass on my knowledge to younger students so that they can succeed in any field they chose. Also, Hogwarts was my first home, and I very well can't leave it now!

Why you have chosen this subject?: I've always love translating the runes, finding the ancient texts fascinating to study. It was also my best subject at school.

Have you applied for any professions yet?: No, this is my first job I've applied for.

Will you be able to post 1 to 2 lessons/month minimum?: Yes, quite easily.

Do you have any previous experience in this field?: Not in teaching, no. Though I graduate top of my class in the subject.

Role Playing Example(minimum 350 words ; Describe teaching your first class):
Zaiden sat at his desk in the front of the class, reading a couple of the pages of the textbook he was to use to teach his students. He had seen it already, of course, during his own classes here at Hogwarts, so it was merely a review of sorts. He was halfway through the tenth page when the bell rang, signalling that the lunch hour was finished. His door being already open, a group of third-years filled in, rather noisily, and sat down at their desks still chatting. The new professor raised his voice slightly over the clamor and and said "If you wouldn't mind, I would like to finish this page in quiet." The students turned to look at him, and looked stunned to seem him. A quiet murmuring spread out through them, all wondering who he was. "I thought we were supposed to have an old short man as a teacher?" "He's much too young to be teaching!". A smile played upon Zaiden's lips, and he quickly finished the page, closing it and placing it on the desk in front of him.

"Right," he began, picking up his wand, flicking it at the black board behind him, where his name was written by a floating piece of chalk, "My name is Zaiden Black. You may all call me Professor Black. Doesn't suit you? Well, that's a shame, for you'll be calling me that anyways." He smiled briefly at the students looking up at him. "This year, I'll be teaching you all the Study of Ancient Runes. Now, I'm sure you all have your nice little textbooks from Diagon Alley, so we can hop straight to it." The chalk zoomed to the left edge of the chalk board and started jotting down the runes that signified the numbers zero to nine. The new teacher got up and pointed to the first one. "This rune is a drawing of a Demiguise. This little creature, as a matter of fact, looks like an ape with black eyes. It is herbivorous, and it can make itself invisible. The fact that it can do so is why it is the symbol for our first number: Zero." He quickly looked around the class to make sure everyone was taking notes on what he was saying. "Little fun fact, by the way, the Demiguise's long silky hair, very hard to come by, is what is used in invisibility cloaks." Smiling around at the class, he was happy to see that there were some faces that showed interest. Hopefully he could make the dull subject a little more entertaining this year...
