What made him decide to remain at Hogwarts and teach muggle studies??

META MEME META MEME 

ok so in reference to my previous post about quiri’s views on muggles , while he could’ve gone & like ... said bye to the wizarding world forever & gone to oxford to live the life he imagined he’d have as a child , quiri also wanted to share that amazing world with wizards . i’ll bet that muggleborns don’t take muggle studies , it’s not an easy O , either . because quiri challenges his students to dare & to dream . 

at the ripe old age of 16 , quirinus quirrell graduated top of his class from hogwarts school of witchcraft & wizardry . the previous muggle studies professor was retiring . quiri’s enthusiasm for the muggle world likely made him the perfect candidate to teach the class , & he saw it as an opportunity to share the world he loves so much with other students . a part of him also saw it as a way to connect to others , since he was barely older than his students , & some were older than him . 

as a ravenclaw , wisdom is very important to quiri ! as is knowledge , & the wizarding world is quite closed off & secretive . arthur weasley doesn’t know how airplanes stay up or what batteries do or what to do with a rubber duck , but quiri does . quiri knows that airplanes are built with specific proportions & have engines that allow them to go at high speeds to lift off . he knows batteries can power plenty of things depending on size & strength . he knows muggle kids just like playing with rubber ducks in the bathtub . he knows what it’s like to drive in a car on the road , to have a favorite tv show & a favorite movie . 

he also knows that those things can help make someone’s life fuller . while quiri loves furthering his own knowledge , he’s also not the type to leave others ignorant , so he set his dreams of being an oxford student aside so that he could help nurture the next great dreamers & revolutionaries of the world , & maybe bridge that horrible rift he saw between��‘ purebloods ’ & the rest of the world .
