After years of networking and a row of scandals, that again lead to increased sells of his books, von Bingen decided to push his reputation further, and applied for a position at hogwarts, more specifically as the Teacher for Defence Against the Dark arts, unfortunately, the position where allready taken, after long discussons, Bingen was allowed to teach his own course, called "Curses, glamours and etiquette" focussing on teaching the basics of etiquette within the magical community, the theory of curses and how to break them, as well as the use of glamours to enhance oneselfes own performance within the magical community or private live, a topic that is rather controversial within the magical community.
