Brilliant. Simply brilliant. He’d aced every exam, been the most exceptional Ravenclaw in decades! All that to lecture a classroom full of nitwits about basic potions? He was Doctor Ivo Robotnik, dammit! Yet here he was, a pawn of the Ministry - “to share his invaluable insights with the young minds, as Doctor Robotnik possessed such expertise across countless disciplines.” Instead of his own research, his groundbreaking inventions, no less! He was droning on about first-year ingredients to students who couldn’t care less. Hopeless! They’d even relegated his unfailingly loyal sycophant , Auror Stone, to this backwater – not as his protection, of course! He was teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. That infernal Slytherin, Stone!
