UPDATE, YAY! In this chapter Ron prepares for his audition with Chef Professor Ramsay over the winter holidays. I love writing Mrs. Weasley – she’s such a treat to write for, truly.

Next chapter: the MagicChef Junior auditions and their results!

Hope you enjoy!

Chapters 5 and 6 are up! In these chapters, Harry confronts Ramsay about the end of Hogsmeade visits, and Professor Ramsay makes a startling announcement just before Christmas break! 

Hope you guys enjoy!

YES, EVERYBODY, UPDATE’S UP! In this one, we’ll be discussing the aftermath of Katie Bell’s injury in Hogsmeade…and maybe getting some more backstory with Professor!Gordon and why he didn’t join the Order in year five. I will acknowledge that I have to take some liberties here, as I’ll never really know what Gordon would do if placed in these situations, but I sincerely wanted to portray a three-dimensional character, particularly since he’d be interacting with such deep, well-developed characters like Snape, Dumbledore, and Harry.

As a side, Septima Vector (who appears in this chapter) is originally from the books – she’s Hermione’s Arithmancy professor. Upon some research, it turns out she was originally going to be a male professor named “Septimus Vecta” – so yeah, in this chapter, I hinted to the fact that she is transgender. I just really liked the idea. XD Also yay, got to reference Charity Burbage, who we originally only got to meet in book seven under very…unfortunate circumstances.

Hope y’all enjoy!

gordon ramsay: *holds neville between two slices of bread* what are you

Imagine that this is Gordon Ramsay a la Masterchef Junior

Neville: *messes up the potion, realizes it, starts crying quietly*

GR: What’s going on?

Neville: *explains how he messed up*

GR: Oh gosh okay…we can fix this, don’t cry, see, it’s fine now? Just be more careful when you’re adding the Newt’s eyes, all right? Drop them in gently. There we go. No more tears.

Ramsay: All you had to do was treat it with a fucking Beozar! 

Slughorn: It was a stressfu-

Ramsay: How long have you been teaching potions?!

or

Ramsay: So you’re going to raise this boy SPECIFICALLY so he can die as part of your twisted little scheme? 

Dumbledore: It’s for the greater good, professor. 

Ramsay: The greater fucking good?! *holds two slices of bread either side of dumbledoor’s face* What are you? 

Dumbledore: Am I, per chance, an idiot sandwich? 

Gordon had run in to help a group of struggling kids with a team challenge and one of the older kids, a 12 year old boy, wasn’t passing attention while taking a pan out of the oven and not only spilled all the food but scalded Gordon.

It’s clear Gordon’s leg is in pain. He’s been badly burned without warning. But he doesn’t scream. He doesn’t yell, not even in pain, and he doesn’t go off on the child who is now frozen in fear. He calmly tells the child to set the pan down and to close the oven, safety first. Then tells him to go restart the food he was making, calm instructions.

My husband and I grew up in abusive homes where any mistake meant parents getting angry (my husband is terrified of spills or broken glasses because that meant beatings growing up, for me, anything going wrong, that could upset my mother, even if it wasn’t my fault meant screaming and emotional abuse).

I didn’t know someone could be so calm. That someone could not get angry, and put aside what they’re feeling (in this case a lot of physical pain) and not take it out on those around them, even when someone around them had messed up, because that person is a child.

Okay, um…so recently I posted two little drabble-like fics where Gordon Ramsay was the new Hogwarts Potions professor instead of Slughorn (totally based on this post). You can read those first two here and here…and now here’s part three! It’s the one you’ve all been waiting for…a confrontation between DADA-Professor!Snape and Potions-Professor!Ramsay! Hope you like it!
