Introductions

Minerva McGonagall: Monsieur de Lafayette, its a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to Hogwarts.
Jean Valjean Lemarque Louis De Lafayette IV: Ah, Headmistress McGonagall, the pleasure is all mine. But, please, simply 'Lafayette' is fine. The de is arbitrary at best I assure you.
Minerva McGonagall: Noted, Monsieur Lafayette. Shall we begin?

Hogwarts Interview - pt 1

Tell me about the best and worst lessons you've ever taught.

Hahahaha, I always love this question because I don't think the answer has changed since my very first month on the job. And the same lesson is actually my answer to both parts of it...

I've spent most of my teaching years a l'Etats-Unis and with such a high population they have several schools. A tenth of a percent of people are magical - more people, more magical persons, more kids to teach. It means your first year where it is preferred you shadow a more experienced Professor and run some of their classes over being on your own you often end up swapping schools a few times over the course of the year...

Sinon, I'm running this class full of students I have barely met. All I know is its a bright group of kids who like to push and have caused more than a few shadowers to up and leave mid-class. A challenge. I think they're great.

The point of the class is to transfigure an inanimate object into another inanimate object, but it must be turned into something with working, moving parts. As I said, this class, un défi. They like to push. They know I'm French. One of them makes a guillotine.

At this point, I regard this as one of the best classes I've ever taught. It becomes the worst when I go to test it. Naturally we were testing all of the results to grade them but I, forgetting that these are kids and the oldest of them is barely 15, stick my right leg inside le guillotine.... most of them cried. If I remember correctly, four of them actually fainted. Not my best hour as a teacher.

Sent: Hold on I'm doing something revolutionary that blossomed from a high idea.

Hogwarts Interview - pt 2

As a live-in teacher at a magical school, there will be times you have to deal with.. unusual situations. How would you handle, say, a student in your class half transfiguring another student into a lobster sat on a foot stool?

That's quite a hypothetical...

Yes, hypothetical.

... Ok, well, I guess initially it depends on if it was a practical lesson where they were supposed to be actively transfiguring items, or if it was just an outburst ou désaccord that got a bit... out of hand. Regardless, the first thing I'm doing is finding out what spell was used, and if its safe to reverse immediately by myself or if the transfigured student needs to go to the hospital wing first. Trust me, they'll be going there anyway after.

If it was a genuine accident, I'll sit down with the student and help them realise where they went wrong so it doesn't happen again. If it was on purpose.... eh bien, I guess that depends on the discipline structures Hogwarts provides its staff, but I imagine it would include a visit to yourself.

Sent: The lawn was on fire, but I fixed it.

Hogwarts Interview - pt 3

Are you committed to the inclusion of all students regardless of house, background, ethnicity, orientation, or capability?

In in the interest of honesty I think its best to tell you I don't really understand this... house system, thing, you guys have. I thought it was just a school thing but I was well over 20 the first time I came à la Grande-Bretagne and I swear I was asked which house I was like a dozen times...

Sinon, the broad answer to that question is, oui, yes, I am. Nationality, race, gender, sexuality, health - the nuances mean nothing to me, but I understand people in some situations, and especially children, need extra support in certain areas. And, well, given that I only have one leg I have first hand experience in needing that support sometimes too.

Received: My favourite part about you getting arrested is having to explain the prosthetic leg strapped to your back.
Sent: I thought bringing a spare would come in handy.

Hogwarts Interview - pt 4

As a you are applying for the role of Transfiguration Professor, it is assumed you are already an Animagi.. what is your animagus form? Can it be used with subtlety around the castle and/or grounds?

Well, my animagus form is a llama so I guess my question back to you is - does Hogwarts happen to have a llama farm?

We can certainly look into it. Our Groundskeeper may be interested. Monsieur Lafayette, I apologise but, I have to ask, what happens to your leg when you become a llama?

... In llama-form my back right leg is 3 inches shorter than my others.

Huh.

Have a biscuit, Professor.
