Wait a minute. "One of the teachers"?

Teachers will follow me to the dungeons.

Codswallop. Professor Snape is a Hogwarts teacher.

Snape is one of the teachers protecting the Stone. He's not about to steal it.

Say, Percy, who's that teacher talking to Professor Quirrell?

Another year gone.

Some of them go bad. A few years ago...

36?! But last year... last year I had 37!

The first years, please note...

"First year's students will require three sets of plain work robes...

It's the same every year, packed with Muggles, Of course. Come on!

But some of them are quite a bit bigger than last year's.

At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup.

Right, then. First years, this way, please!

Hogwarts teacher or not, I know a spell when I see one. I've read all about them.

Harry, This is Professor Quirrell. He will be your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts.

I'd always heard Hogwarts' end of the year exams were frightful, but I found that rather enjoyable.

Seeker? But first years never make their house teams.

...that Hogwarts has seen these many years, 50 points.

...the noted alchemist who last year celebrated his 665th birthday."
