[Astronomy Professor App] - Eponine Fortescue

Guest

Your Full Name: Eponine Ashley Fortescue

School where you graduated: Hogwarts (Hufflepuff House)

Subject you are applying for: Astronomy

Why do you want to become a professor? Because I am great with kids and I know how to keep a class interesting, yet still in order. I'm also the Flying professor, and although term hasn't started yet, I'm having fun planning the lessons for that, and feel confident that I can handle both classes.

Why you have chosen this subject? Besides the fact a professor is needed for it right now, Astronomy was a class I did well in, even achieving an OWL in it. Although I dropped it after OWL year, it was purely voluntary. As I earned an O an that particular OWL, I was asked many times why I dropped it, as I certainly knew my stuff. I only dropped it because I didn't need it for the career I was considering at the time.

Have you applied for any professions yet? Nope.

Will you be able to post 1 to 2 lessons/month minimum? I am able to post however many lessons I am required to, and more.

Do you have any previous experience in this field? Like I said above, I achieved an O in the OWL for it, and knew may NEWT-level information about it as early as OWL year.

Role Playing Example(minimum 350 words ; Describe teaching your first class)
Eponine stood out on the Quidditch pitch with a smile on her face, waiting patiently for her first years to arrive. As soon as they did, Eponine got straight into teaching. After passing out enough of the school brooms so that each student had one, she dove straight into the lesson.

“All right class, my name is Professor Fortescue. What you hold in your hands are broomsticks. They are the only mode of magical transportation that cannot be sensed by the Trace. Other transportation modes, such as the Floo Network and Apparation, can. Therefore, it is essential to learn how to hold your own on a broomstick. You never know when you will need to make a getaway with being Traced, and until you lot turn of age, this will be your main mode of transportation anyway.”

Eponine looked around at the sea of faces, sensing many emotions, from excitement to fear. “Now don't worry; You all are perfectly safe, and no one has died from learning how to ride a broomstick. Now I want you all to place your broomsticks on the ground on your left side, with the bristles pointing behind you.”

She waited until everyone had done what she said, then continued with the next set of instructions. “All right, now everyone hover your hands over your broomstick, and yell- very firmly- UP!” As she said this, she demonstrated it herself, and her broom flew immediately in her hands.

Eager to do the same, her students tried to copy her, some with hilarious results. About half the class succeeded, but the other half had results everywhere from the broom plain-out ignoring them to the brooms rolling away from their temporary owners.

Smothering a grin, Eponine called out, “All right, that's enough for today, class! Not bad for your first times! Next class, we'll actually be learning to fly them. Homework: practice sounding confident and firm when yelling “up”, and turn in a short essay and tell me your strengths and weaknesses regarding this class. Dismissed!”

Feeling that her first class had gone splendidly, Eponine headed back to the castle to relax for a few hours before lunch.

I just put my Flying Professor app RP, since it was accepted, so I know it was approved.
