Harry Potter: I Opened a Tutoring Center Outside Hogwarts

[Harry Potter Fanfiction] [Genius Female Lead] [Original Plot] [Adventure]

In 1992, Evelyn Vance once again eagerly applies for the position of Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor.

Who could have guessed that Dumbledore would reject her outright, despite her top-notch practical skills? The reason is simple: her teaching style is too aggressive, and he fears she'll teach the sheltered young wizards to fight too well.

Unwilling to get involved in the epic struggle between Dumbledore and Voldemort, and unwilling to let her talent for fighting Dark Magic go to waste, Evelyn simply gives up, buys a run-down pub, and sets up shop with her own Defence Against the Dark Arts tutoring business.

She thinks that staying out of the maelstrom will let her live in peace. But running a tutoring business is so expensive it keeps her up at night. Training dummies, protective potions, everything costs Galleons. To keep from falling behind on rent and having to shut down, she takes an exorbitantly paid commission from a mysterious Pure-blood family.

And so she steps into a tangled affair surrounding the ancient Holy Grail of Dawn, meeting all kinds of people burdened with secrets.

Some are tormented day and night by the curse of immortality, while an ancient race struggles on the brink of decline...

Whether you're a current Hogwarts student or an ordinary wizard hoping to protect yourself, if you want to learn practical Defence Against the Dark Arts, just walk through the door of this pub. Hard-core combat training starts right away.

Years later, when Dumbledore and Ministry of Magic officials come calling, Evelyn folds her arms. "Want a lesson? Pay the fee first."
