#incouraging your students do to their worst#THE BEST

Translation: The Irish kid’s been blowing shit up since the day he got here, ask him

No but this was so heartwarming to me because it’s something that shows what a good and caring teacher she is, especially since, as head of house, she’s put in the roll of guardian while the students are at school.

Like, she encourages Neville to take Charms (a subject he’s decent in and enjoys) instead of Transfiguration (the subject she loves and teaches but knows he has no proclivity for), telling him that she’ll deal with any resulting fall out from his grandmother personally, after praising him on his skill with Herbology.

She’s watched Seamus through the years, seen how many of his nascent attempts in new forms of magic result in explosions, and not only finds a way to weaponise that to protect the school at a crucial moment, but turns what has previously been a source of misfortune into a positive, allowing him to use his natural abilities in a valuable and constructive way. She realises that just because he did it by mistake, that doesn’t mean he can’t use it in a beneficial way.

Professor Minerva McGonagall. Badass and A* teacher.
