He didn't go any further in the regards to his hirablity. To be told something like this was quite reassuring. Instead, he focused very quickly on his credentials. "Well... I have taught at Hogwarts school for a year before I had to leave. I was asked to leave after my condition became well known. Before that, I taught in much smaller institutions, teaching all I could about the Dark Arts so as to prevent He-who-must-not-be-named from terrorizing individuals. It was also the subject that I became well-known for even when I was attending Hogwarts as a student. It's quite a fascinating subject when you're the victim of one of its nastier curses..."

*She nodded. A young teacher, limited experience... but then again, he was the most promising she'd seen and she'd been inexperienced when hired.*
"Have you any letters of recommendation?"

"Well..." He reached into his bag, pulling out a sealed envelope. "I've always kept this, but I've never opened it. It's from Dumbledore himself. He... gave it to me when he had to regretfully let me go and told me not to open this except in a situation like this." Gently, he held it out to Chenevier to open.

*She opened the envelope with an ornate silver letter opener and scanned it with sharp grey eyes.*
"He's very complimentary, and I must say that his is an opinion I do trust." *She said to Lupin.* "And truthfully, you're the most promising applicant we've had yet. Our reputation doesn't tend to attract the cream of the crop."

"He is far too kind to me, I must say." He spoke with a soft chuckle. "I endangered his class, though it wasn't quite what I meant to do. I meant to take Severus's tea and stay secluded in my room. Somehow, I ended up around Harry Potter and his friends. Needless to say, it didn't turn out how I wanted."
He rubbed at his cheek for a thoughtful moment before speaking again. "However, I most certainly would appreciate the chance to teach once more."

*She thought for a moment before sighing.* "You know, in French and employer tradition I should be stringing you along, but I can't afford you losing interest and me having to hire someone second-rate. Even when qualified teachers appear, they almost always shy at the idea of teaching werewolves and vampires and the like. We'll have to work some things out, but I'm willing to offer you the job on the spot."

"Why... I..." Lupin looked genuinely surprised by the headmaster's generosity. "You'd like to have me aboard in your school? I'm surprised... I must say. But I also thank you for the opportunity. Of course, I'll need to make sure to keep my time away from the students when the moon begins to get full, but those are preparations for down the road." He smiled quite broadly as he looked Chenevier in the eyes. "I apprecate this most whole-heartedly."

"I do so hate being agreeable." *She said, mouth turning into a tight line.* "We'll have a contract drawn up and contact you sometime next week."

"I don't consider it so much being agreeable as much as... opening an opportunity for your school, correct?" He did his best to flash his smile once more, trying quite hard to be agreeable with the other as well. He would rather not see this opportunity suddenly change on short notice.

*She nodded.* "Yes, but I feel practically unpatriotic, being so straightforward." *There was a note of sarcastic humor in her voice and a slight smirk about her eyes as she said this.*

Lupin arose from his seat, speaking very gently. "I suppose the French do have a way with telling it like it is without embellishments. This, I do know from experience. Though I will say this much; you certainly have quite a way with your own words, straightforward, or not."

*She nodded curtly.*
"Merci, monsieur. I assume you'll leave some address we may reach you at?"

"I am currently staying at the nearby Inn. The name currently escapes me, but if I recall, it had something to do with a Stallion." He let out a soft chuckle. "I just tried to find the nearest establishment to stay in." He walked over to pick up his case before turning to look over his shoulder towards the young headmistress. "So, should I be expecting to hear from you within the week?"

*She nodded.* "Within the week. Now, if you'll excuse me I'm, expecting a floo call..."

"Indeed. Good afternoon, Headmistress." He nodded his head before he turned to step out of the room. Things were certainly looking up for the werewolf for sure...
