The answer he had been looking for had not been provided by anyone, but these were still good answers. "And though I have never used eyeliner, I suppose a time where it had not been invented would be inconvenient for the millions who do use it," he said, smiling at Ms. Toussaint's answer. Did Professor Hirsch ever use eyeliner? Hmmm. "The answer I am thinking of today, and the one we will be studying, is more narrow in scope. Kirk touched on it." Kirk mentioned Voldemort killing several teachers. "I would like to know how many of you know about Voldemort's curse against any teacher who would attempt to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. You may describe why he cursed the job, when this happened, how it worked, and when it ended. Just say what you know." Oh, noooo, sweet summer child. Katy gave Skyler a compassionate grimace and patted the air in her general direction. There there. "You're wearing it wrong, then. It goes on the outside, not on the inside."
But sure, they could talk about Voldemort. And his epic temper tantrum curse. Imagine if everyone who didn't get the job they wanted reacted by throwing a jinx on the position. No one would ever hold a job for more than a year, and no one would ever grow thick skin from rejection. The world would probably be a more miserable place if every tantrum was allowed its way. Katy raised her hand. "It's such a childish thing to do, sir. This hissy fit reaction to not getting a job, so no one else can have it either? It's like destroying something beautiful because you don't have the funds to possess it for yourself. I think it shows the real evil of Voldemort, his complete selfishness."
