The mention of his promotion brought a soft smile to his face, reminding himself that he had worked hard for this promotion and really was starting a whole new life for himself. He knew that he was a good teacher and he had done a lot of work to put the past behind him and he really hoped that Harry Potter coming back wouldn’t change that.<br/>“Alright,” he stated again, feeling better about the fact that it would only be for a school year. It was just a personal favour for McGongagall and then Harry Potter would be out of his life once more. It was a comforting thought and he was very happy that McGonagall had taken the time to explain that to him as well.<br/>“I shall be on my best behaviour then,” he added with a soft smile, his expression softening up at the words and his shoulders falling back in place. “Thank you again, headmistress.”
