AN: sorry it's taken so long so heres the first half of the chapter. im struggling with the second half.

I land with a wobble and it takes me a minute or two to recover from the disorientation. That was a horrible journey. It was worse than the toilet system at the Ministry of Magic which involves flushing yourself down toilet that stand in. I look around and take in my surroundings. Professor McGonagall was right – I'm outside the headmasters' office. It looks almost the exact same as it did the last time I was here while Dumbledore was headmaster, it just doesn't look as old though. The door opens and I step out of the way.

"Well thank you for your time, I'll contact you when we've made the decision." Dumbledore and a woman come out of the door and into view. They wave goodbye to each other. The woman walks past with her head held high clearly pleased with how the interview went. Dumbledore spots me and walks over. "I'm sorry but I wasn't expecting another candidate."

What am I supposed to say? "Yeah, I'm sorry, but I just arrived back in the UK from visiting my family and a friend told me about the position. It's all a bit hectic, really, but if you want me to go then I will." I head to leave, hoping he'll stop me.

"Well I guess you've come all the way here, I may as well interview you." I turn around and smile at him. "Thank you so much, I promise you won't regret it." We walk into his office.

I look around the room and notice it's almost exactly the same as the last time I was here. I sit down on the opposite side of his desk and look at him. Before I realised that I still have the envelope in my hands that are on the table, Dumbledore has taken the envelope, opened it and started to read it. Dumbledore puts his hand out to stop me as I go to stop him from reading what's in the letter. Although, I don't exactly know what's in the letter. So I just sit there and nervously watch as his eyes scan the page, going from side to side.

Finally, he looks up at me and smiles. "I appreciate the letter explaining the circumstances. If you get the job, I'll make sure that everything is sorted out." I nod, pretending to know what he's talking about. "Thank you." I'll have to look at the letter later.

"Now Xavier, you've clearly got a lot of experience, my only worry is your lack of OWL's and NEWT's." He leans forward and looks at me. "The education here at Hogwarts is designed around the curriculum and grading for the OWL's and NEWT's."

"Of course, professor. However, I believe I have the experience to be able to make up for my lack of qualifications. Not only that, but I can bring a new fresh way of teaching using my experience in order to better prepare the students for when they face the real world. I have researched into the syllabus and mark scheme for the OWL and NEWT exams. Therefore, I know what I need to be teaching the students when."

I sit for a couple of minutes while he looks at various pieces paperwork muttering things every now and then. Then he puts down the paperwork and looks at me. "After a lot of consideration I have decided to give you the job. However, the job will only be on a temporary contract until I have seen how you work and if the kids like you."

"Thank you professor, I won't let you down." I get up to leave.

"I think you'll want these." I turn around to see Dumbledore handing me the letter in the envelope and a bit of parchment. I take them off of him.

"Thank you." I walk out the door.

Where am I going to go now?
