If you write that, I will definitely read that. I just sent the first volume of the Chrestomanci books (containing The Lives of Christopher Chant and Charmed Life) to my little cousin for her 11th birthday, so they're on my mind too.
(Although, if you could write a scene in which Severus Snape and Albus Dumbledore both encounter one of Christopher Chant's dressing gowns, I might love you forever.)
I'm not sure it would even register with Dumbledore, given how flamboyant he normally is.
I'm not sure the voice is right in the below, but hey, it's a start.
"You seem to be contemplating something, Severus. Tell me, what is your opinion on the new Defense professor?"
Snape snapped out of the trance the new professor's robes had induced. "I... well... what were you saying again?"
"This Chant fellow. What do you think of him?"
"Headmaster, I'm afraid I must say something I never thought I'd have occasion to say," responded Snape, rubbing his temple somewhat ruefully.
"And what is that?"
"You've been outdone."
If the kids get aged up a few more years, Janet could pretend to be the Muggle Studies professor. No one would ever notice that she knows nothing about how Muggles live these days.
