One last goodbye.

[betterillusionist]

Acting Professor Ashthorn

Malorn sucks in a deep breath, his shoulders rising high to mirror his internal tenseness. It's a wild pitch under these circumstances, but he leaves this unsaid, he doesn't know if he'll get another chance to ask.

"Headmaster," he says, "I would like to become an acting Professor."

Headmaster Ambrose raises his head, his furious rummaging through his stacks upon endless stacks of papers ceasing momentarily. His bushy eyebrows rise high on his head, though it's hard to tell if he's intrigued or surprised.

"Hmmmmm," the old wizard drones. A hand rises to his long white beard and runs his fingers through it thoughtfully. His glass eye stares off into the distance. "Hmmmmm..."

Malorn clasps his hands behind his back, puffing his chest out to appear more confident than he is. It was nerve-wracking enough to have been called in over Bartleby's missing eye. We had nothing to do with it was the general gist of the conversation on that topic. And it's the truth, no matter what the other students might whisper about.

"There are still Death students here at Ravenwood," Malorn speaks up. "They deserve some kind of teacher, I believe. I've already been leading study sessions with Duncan, though without proper resources we can only learn so much by ourselves."

His words don't seem to affect the Headmaster's listless stare. Behind his closed lips, he grits his teeth, preparing for the worst. It'd be great to be given some sort of temporary Professorship role. While the Death School took many Necromancy books with it, there's still some materials inside the school library that he'd be able to access if he were to be considered a Professor or even a Professor's Assistant. Not that him and Duncan are anywhere near exhausting what the library already has available to students and the public, but their usefulness is certainly starting to dwindle.

The Headmaster finally begins to nod, turning his attention back to Malorn. "Indeed, it will benefit the remaining students..." He shuffles around his desk some more, his sight finally set on something clear. And from one of the stacks he withdraws what he was searching for. He waves his hand in the air, and a quill comes flying through the air from one of the messy corners of his office. With a few quick strokes, he slides the paper and quill forward for Malorn to see.

From the desk of Headmaster Merle Ambrose, Henceforth from the signing of this document, wizard Malorn AshThorn will assume the position of "Acting Professor"; to be treated as a Professor, given permission to access and borrow from faculty resources as needed, and held to account for all regular responsibilities. ~ Class is to be held once a day for a minimum of seven (7) hours but no longer than ten (10) hours, within the Ravenwood campus. ~ A comprehensive syllabus and full student progress report is to be provided to the Headmaster regularly each school quarter. This agreement will be held in effect until one or more of the following are met, ~ A new Professor is assigned to the Death School. ~ There is failure to remain within the parameters of the contract. ~ There is no longer a need for service.

Below is the Headmaster's signature in a mass of elegant scribbles, along with a line for Malorn to sign on as well. He can't help but take a deep breath as he reads it over a few more times, making sure he understand it in its entirety.

Finally, he takes the quill with a firm nod and signs his name at the bottom. Not long after he finishes his final flick, a wave of relief washes over him, and finally he feels like he's able to relax, if only for the moment. He's got quite a lot of work ahead of him if he's to keep to this agreement, but he's determined.

And now he's an Acting Professor.

"Thank you, Headmaster," he beams.

The Headmaster nods back and gives him a little shooing motion, his cheeks puffing out as he gives the student a smile. "Now run along. I look forward to seeing what you put together for your students."

In his happy daze, Malorn staggers outside. The fresh air is cool and welcoming. He takes a moment to stand there in front of the door and take it in, collecting himself.

"Well?" Duncan's voice asks, drifting to his ears on the wind. His vision returning to reality, Malorn spots his friend posted up by the front gate to the Headmaster's office/house, staring at him expectantly.

"I got the Bartleby accusations cleared up," he reports. Though he can't hide his smile as he adds, "But, I'm now-" he raises a hand to tug at his robe, "-Acting Professor Ashthorn."

Duncan's face takes a moment to light up at the news, though his smile is somewhat strained. Malorn suspects he already knows the reason as to why.

"Relax, I'm not replacing him," Malorn reassures the troubled student. "I just think that we're getting to a point where we need someone in a teaching role, and we can't keep waiting to see if Malistaire is going to return. Besides, it's only a temporary position."

Duncan scowls, his gaze searching the ground for a way to organize his thoughts. A reluctant sigh passes through his lips, and finally he offers a genuinely supportive smile.

"You're the only other wizard I'd trust to teach Necromancy," he says with an approving nod.

"Thanks," Malorn replies. It's not quite what he was expecting to get, but he'll take it. So long as he's still able to keep Duncan's head above water...

He rubs his hands together, his mind quickly turning to other matters at hand. It's late in the day. He's got a lot to do and not much time left to do it, though it's more an issue of somehow putting the ideas that have been stewing in his head all this time into practice. "I got to go now. I have a lot to prepare for tomorrow. Class will start early by the hole."

"Early?" Duncan groans.

Malorn only nods back. "I expect you to be on-time, Dunc. No exceptions." He gives Duncan a pat on his shoulder as Malorn passes him by, eager to get to the library before it closes for the day. He leans in close and mutters into his ear, "Your IOU will double every time you're late."

He catches a brief glimpse of Duncan's face going pale before he dashes off.

[headmaster-merle-ambrose]

Yeah, they never fired the headmaster. And after he agreed to enroll me, Cyrus Drake told me I needed to rob a tomb to get an amulet or something :/ are Ravenwood professors supposed to endorse that

cyrus did hwat

[anxiously-sidequesting]

Okay all of you are geniuses because a lot of you who see my necromancer posts brought up a super interesting concept that even u hadn't thought about in length, which is the possible discrimination that ALL necromancers in Wizard City probably faces due to past events, not just Malorn

Like ofc this isn't seen in canon but it's super likely that Death students in particular face certain hardships that other Schools may not. And the questions that I asked myself about this topic is super interesting:

Do Death students deal with a certain stigma surrounding their choice of study, or even their character? Are Death students in particular the only group that goes through a different type of treatment that others don't? Do Death students suffer from rumors or beliefs that are harmful to them in any way? Are Death students unwelcome in other groups of students, do they suffer from double takes or ostracization when they do or say things that typically aren't an issue if other students do them?

And another interesting part about this is the source, the fact that a majority of the essential or impactful villains to the plot are all Necromancers that come from Ravenwood. Like of course everyone in Wizard City has to know about Malistaire, but do they know about Morganthe years back, or Duncan when he drops out and is recruited in a cult?

Like I can imagine people back then have heard of Morganthe being expelled; I wonder if there had been any rumors or speculations surrounding her following her expulsion. Nobody was there except for Morganthe, Malistaire, and Ambrose; maybe there were whispers and twists to the story of what actually happened. It's unfortunately very easy to spin an exaggerated tale that maybe Morganthe was purposely violent and unreasonable, and following that, "Maybe it's because she's a Necromancer."

And Duncan, who was never really popular in the first place, after spewing all of that hot air about being Malistaire's best student, suddenly Malistaire becomes a criminal and Duncan is left with what? Was Duncan ever treated differently after that? Were people then possibly AFRAID of him? Perhaps maybe, that he'd soon end up like Malistaire in the future? And imagine how much worse it would get, if it somehow came out that Duncan took up with some bad people and attacked Wizard City's own hero. It wouldn't be about, "Duncan was manipulated during a dark time in his life and did bad things because of that", it would be about, "Duncan, who revered the former evil Death Professor, turned to a life of crime and followed in his mentor's footsteps". By the way, notice how they were both Necromancers?

And then it really puts it into perspective when you realize, why hasn't the Death School been repaired by now? How come no one has looked for Dworgyn or Mortis, despite him having been MIA for a while?

This would have been a cool topic to explore within the game if handled correctly imo, it opens up so much more into the characters and their perspective, the trauma they might be facing. It's sad and definitely unfair and unwarranted but it's realistic and a very blatant thing that just happens. TL;DR, more trauma to Malorn, Duncan, Morganthe, and every single Death student ever from me because I have brainrot

"I think there's a lot to admire about Lettie Heyes - it's hard to dislike her really. She's very kind and courteous. And very friendly in class too. We're dorm mates which is nice, even if she does tend to trek in all the dirt and weed clumps from the greenhouses time and again. I know she spends most of her time there, and always wants to talk about magical plants she's seen around the world. I understand it in a way, she has her magical plants, and I have my magical creatures. Still, she's always willing to listen when I want to talk about creatures, and never thinks it's peculiar."

--- Poppy Sweeting on Lettie Heyes

oh man oh man this has been a long time coming. it's finally proper art of my girl lettie!!!

she's one (of my three) hogwarts legacy mc's. yes i made her before the game actually released but yes she's still my girlie who i eventually wanna draw interacting with the charas b/c i think there's some fun character dynamics that are just waiting to be explored there.

i hope I got poppy's tone down right. i'm really bad at putting myself in character's shoes, but I think this is how poppy would describe lettie. I do think they'd be friends. hufflepuff girlies with nature based special interests

I've lost most of my lettie notes in the great icing of my old blog but here's the quick rundown

letitia "lettie" heyes comes from a merchant family who run a shipping business that toes the line between the magical and muggle world.

they deal with both magical trade - things that simply cannot be apperated half way across the world - as well as regular muggle goods trade.

she's already traveled to america and india prior to starting hogwarts

she has a cat named sir pounce de leon

her favourite subject is herbology, and she has special interests in pressing flowers, cartography, and fashion, as well as collecting plants from around the world

lettie is basically hella friendly and gets on pretty great with everyone, but she's also rather impatient and self-righteous

What about Ambrose Sinclair?

𝐌𝐔𝐙𝐙𝐋𝐄 ( yandere! mafia husband x female! reader)

Y/N fell in love with him in high school, married him after graduation, and moved in with him whenever she decided to go to college. But something about him was odd. Disappearing at night, being gone for days on end, answering suspicious unknown phone calls, being overly clingy... He's not cheating, right? Or was something worse going on?

𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐎𝐍 ( dark reverse harem x villainess! reader )

Y/N wanted her arranged husband dead. Who could blame her? After she was forced to marry the Grand Duke, she knew that she'd live a miserable life, especially if it meant being tethered to him til the end of her days. So she started to make a plan. A sinister plan to kill him, his close friends, and topple his empire of fame to the ground. If she wasn't allowed to have rights, why should they? But it was easier said than done... because unbeknownst to her, three men would do anything to appease her.

𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐑𝐄 ( yandere! emperor x female! reader )

Emperor Cadmus Dimitriou. Whether people knew him by his title as emperor of Kiaba, or his cutthroat win in the war three years ago, they all knew that a man like him was destined for greatness. But Y/N? She was destined for the constant spray of blood, the roaring of the crowd, and the thud of bodies dropping. It wasn't like Gladiators had a choice. However, that all changed when she was bought for a cheap price by a cruel man who wanted to test her fame. And Emperor Cadmus wouldn't take no for an answer.

The Devil stopped at the doorstep of Y/N's church with a charming smile. Business, he said, that was why he came by to visit. His touch left Y/N's skin in flames, his gaze made his stomach twist, and his voice made his head spin. This man, Linus Ambrose Wittherson, had to be Lucifer himself.

Everyone inside Fulminare Academy had secrets; the professors, the students, the scrappy dogs outside. Y/N was no different. However, she never thought those secrets would lead to her demise. Mysterious men were out for her head, or more specifically, the knowledge inside it. May curiosity kill these wicked cats.

Y/N knew there was something wrong with him but he couldn't help it. He was 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥. Who wouldn't be hooked onto someone like Micah Ariti? A transfer student from Greece who was perfect in every way; his athleticism, his creativity, his 'no-bullshit' type of personality. Even if he knew then about who he really was, he was already addicted. He would never let him go.
