Tracey chuckled from beside Daphne, "what? Did you think of a way to get Snape fired? Sorry to say but I've heard that Dumbledore has refused to fire him despite the multitude of complaints against him, you'll have to think of something else." She joked.
Magnus laughed, "oh no, but that was my first thought. No, I've thought up another way that's just as good in my opinion." He stated with a smirk.
However, before either girl could ask what the idea was. The doors to the great hall opened wide and Andromeda Tonks walked into the great hall, led by Professor Flitwick, and upon seeing them, Magnus' grin doubled in size as he watched them make their way over towards them.
"Mr Black," Professor Flitwick addressed Magnus as the pair of them reached him, "your aunt has...." he began to say only to be cut off as headmaster Dumbledore along with Professors Mcgonnagal and Snape came down from the head table quickly to see what was going on.
"Finius, may we inquire as to why you have Mrs Tonks with you, this is, most unusual," Dumbledore inquired as he glanced to Andromeda before looking back to the small charms professor.
Flitwick cleared his throat, "As I was just about to inquire with Mr. Black here, his Aunt has expressed concerns for his education over some missives that they have exchanged in regards to his potions education," he began to explain.
"Having received numerous complaints of a similar nature from various students of all ages in the past all in regards to Professor Snape's teaching methods or if the complaints are to be believed the lack therefore of."
Mentally Magnus scoffed as he remembered his first potion lesson with the greasy bat just the other day.
The man could not teach worth a damn. He gave his little speech and then proceed to give out a page number to the class and a time limit in which they had to brew the potion in before leaving them to it as he sculked around the classroom sneering and making snide comments....
....Until someone made a mistake when he inevitably pounced on they and began to take points off and then ridicule them before vanishing their potion and telling them to start again.
And then at the end of the class, he instructed them to write an essay for the next class about the potion they had just brewed, honestly the man could not teach.
Snape sneered at the explanation, "I would think that the opinions of first years would be irrelevant, given how very little they know about the actual material to critique my teaching methods," he said glancing at Magnus with a glare of annoyance and anger.
"Be that as it may," Professor Flitwick continued, "the complaints I have gotten in the past have not always been from first-year students, many of the older past students have had very little to say in the way of positive reactions to your classes Severus, and even Mrs Tonks has had similar experiences with her daughter who has now graduated last year."
Andromeda nodded, "If I recall Nymphadora's recollection of your teaching methods," she commented glaring at Snape, "they could be summed up into one line."
"Instructions are on the board, you have so much time, and then you proceed to walk around until someone makes a mistake before swooping in to take points and berate students and vanish imperfect potions. Last I checked that isn't how you teach Potions."
Snape glared at her, eyes filled with loathing and Andromeda glared back with equal amounts of hatred for the greasy dungeon bat.
Magnus could swear that he could see sparks in the air between where their gazes met.
Dumbledore, however, stepped in after a couple of seconds to keep things from escalating, "now now, I'm sure there must be some kind of mistake, Severus is a fine Professor and he has my utmost confidence, I'm sure this must just be some sort of misunderstanding," he said in a very grandfatherly tone, his eyes twinkling.
Andromeda, however, scoffed at the idea, "it is no mistake headmaster, my nephew is not happy learning under Professor, and I use that term under protest, Snape, and I am sure his friends and classmates aren't either."
"I am certainly not going to allow my nephews' education to be stunted because of your poor teaching standards. I had to give Nymphadora one on one potions lessons every summer to teach her what she was supposed to know, she would never have gotten into Auror training otherwise." She said firmly.
"Which is why I will teaching my nephew his potions class personally, and I will offer to teach any other student who does not wish to suffer through Professor Snape's teaching methods."
Dumbledore's eyes widened slightly at Andromeda's statement as he inwardly began to worry, 'this cannot happen, I control what the students learn here, I have worked too hard to allow this to happen,' he thought to himself before replying.
"I'm afraid my dear that won't be possible you see...." he began to say only to be cut off by Magnus.
"Actually headmaster is will be," Magnus cut in, "its a requirement under the Hogwarts charter, chapter thirteen, paragraph four, subsection b, that, "should a student find the teachings offered at Hogwarts school to be subpar or insufficient they may elect to acquire or hire someone to teach them that meets their standards," he decided having memorize that line for use such an occasion.
"And I am sure my Aunt Andromeda will do a fine job in teaching, she has her mastery in potions which is a requirement to teach as well as hold her other job as a healer at St Mungo's."
"Can we also join." Tracey said piping up from beside Daphne, unintentionally opening the floodgates as several other students having overheard the talk of another potions teacher besides Snape started calling out for a place in her classes.
