he came to Hogwarts at a really interesting time .

Honestly judging by reactions so far he might just need to teach a basic science class ....

Arvon: no it’s fine. I won’t freak out. I promise.. no overanalizing or anything. Sees someone flying on a broom. Arvon: Arvon: please let me just explain this ONE-

“ haven’t you ever questioned ( H O W ) these things happen ? . . . And if you say // ~ m a g i c ~ // — I’m gonna punch you. In the face . “ 『 ➝ favorite for a written starter. 』 ‹ no pressure just vibes . ›

now that faculty is growing he’s gonna have to make his presence known.

you know.. ( e x i s t ), maybe?

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫 𝐎’𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 : this couldn’t get any weirder. Muelling:

Clears throat. Since everyones doing introductions now— “Professor Arvon O’Wiles...” Briefly looks around. “.... Magical Science and Theory- is this supposed to be like an AA meeting?”

Thinking about his lecture on intangibility spells based on the real life theory that there is a infinitely tiny probability that a normal person could phase through a wall if their atoms were in just the right places.

Arvon to wall phasing: yes there’s an answer to this. Arvon to the room of requirement: i have a theory. Arvon to ghosts: I.

Arvon: wow.. great to know this proves the existence of a post-death plane of existence. I’m going to hell.

( he went to suck air through his teeth, squint his eyes ) Ooh.. yeah, that stumped me. ( he shrugged his shoulders, smiling with some uncertainty ) My guess? Leaning more to the 60-70% realm. You?

Really good question.. ( his words of praise are paired with a nod, having a wider smile of amusement. ) That’s the thing though, right? What do you think is a “real person”? ( there was a curious cross of his arms, appreciating the questions given with one of his own )

Love the questions. Questions are good.

But if Muelling’s kid asks me if “water is wet?” one more time…

Walking out of his classroom he has safety goggles on and is drenched head to toe, sopping wet. He reaches up to lift off his goggles, a whole pocket of water trapped inside immediately spilling to the floor.

The real reason Arvon started teaching in the wizarding world was to run away from paying his student loans.

Not a bad definition. Let’s run with that. So you’ve got 2 main traits for a real person. They have to physically interact and they have to “know the world” ... How’d you say we run the tests to see if a painting would check those boxes?

Truth? He’s registered as dead in the no-maj world.

Not gonna lie, he is kind of freaking out. No, not because it looks like there has been a massive, school wide drink spike. . . . But maybe he should. It’s just he’s got WAY more eligible participants to set up a proper case study of Amortentia. He .. needs blood samples.
