The next few weeks were busy for Tae. He had spent the weekend helping Jimin at the shelter and looking at houses, not finding any that met his high standards. He had helped Hobi out one day at the soup kitchen. It was one of Jin's days where he was also there, and nothing seemed to go right for Tae. He didn't know which spices went best with which foods, so he was absolutely no help in the kitchen. He was ok helping dish the foods out, but that's not exactly something he wanted to do every day for the rest of his life.

He enjoyed helping out at There's Always Hope, Hobi's housing and job organization. It was sort of like a giant puzzle between what the 'client' was good at and finding them a job they would want to stick with. So he didn't mind that too much.

But it was his day at Hogwarts that he truly enjoyed. He shadowed Jin around, and it was amazing walking the hallways again, seeing a few of the same professors from his time at the school. However, Potions wasn't even his best subject while he was in school, but he did like the thought of coming back to Hogwarts. So he scheduled a meeting with the Headmaster, hoping she could find a place for him there.

"Mr. Kim, such a pleasure to see you again!" She smiled at him. She had always had a soft spot for the quiet boy he was.

"Headmaster Suran, it doesn't look like you've aged a day." He sat down in the seat she motioned to.

"Ah, magic can come in handy sometimes, dear boy. So what can I help you with?"

"Well, as you know, I was here with Professor Kim today, and I was reminded of how much I loved my time here. I adored these walls, and I wondered if there were any openings here? " He waited patiently while she brought up something on her computer, looking around the room at all the pictures of the previous Headmasters until she finally made a humming noise.

"Well, actually. And please hear me out before answering. I might not look my age, but I definitely feel every one of my 115 years. I want nothing more than to retire, and if you're anything like you were in school, you have a very calming personality. You were always one of my nicest students, never caused any trouble, and could handle everything this school threw at you. So what do you think?" He sat back, her hands folded across her desk as she watched every flicker of emotion pass through his eyes.

"That is.. wow. While I am extremely honored Headmaster, I just gave up a.. position of power. While I am thankful and quite frankly shocked, you would consider me. I politely have to refuse your offer. Might you have anything else?" He bit his lip, his thoughts racing. Wow, she really thinks I could handle the job of Headmaster. I mean, that's, wow.

"I do actually, or I will at the end of this semester. Professor Moss's husband has been quite sick, and she has decided she wants to give up her position as Herbology teacher. And if I remember right, you were quite adept in that class. Is this something you think you would be interested in?"

Tae's face lit up with pure joy, "I would love that position, Headmaster. I found gardening and plants to be a sense of comfort through the years, and I would love nothing more than fostering that sort of passion in others. Thank you!"

Headmaster Saran stood up, shaking his hand and smiling at him fondly. "I will tell Professor Moss the good news today then. I'm sure she will be ecstatic to know things will be taken care of. And even happier to know it will be by one of her favorite students."

"Her favorite?"

"Oh yes, we used to have many a talk about you. She was over the moon at how well you did in her class and missed you and your lovely personality when you left us so suddenly. I'm sure she'll take great comfort in knowing the Herbology position is being taken over by someone who finds such joy in it."

She ushered him out of her office, sending him back to Jin, but he made a detour and knocked on Jungkook's office door, hoping the boy wasn't busy. The door swung open to find Namjoon standing between Jungkooks legs. He had the poor boy sitting up on his own desk, and he was kissing the hell out of him, his hands starting to wander under Jungkooks sweater. Tae just made a face and quietly closed the door behind him, making sure it latched this time before heading back to Jin's classroom. He couldn't wait to give those two shit about this the next time he saw them.
