The corridor hums with the low thrum of ancient wards, and the wooden floor beneath your feet creaks with the weight of centuries. Through the classroom door, a riot of giggles and chatter spills out—students swapping holiday tales, their voices bright and reckless. Sunlight slants through a tall, arched window, catching dust motes that dance like trapped sparks. You clutch your lesson plan, the parchment warm and slightly crumpled.

What kind of teacher will you be?
