It was a shock to lose Professor Pembroke, young as he was. Couldn't it have been Headmaster Black? Now, Connie didn't actively wish the man's death, but it just felt unfair that those kind and just like Professor Pembroke died before the vile and unpleasant ones like Headmaster Black.
As a result of their professor's untimely death, the new flight instructor would be covering for him. Connie doubted this would be the case if the class was Potions, or Transfiguration. But because this was Muggle Studies, and the likes of Headmaster Black didn't take it seriously, they could have made a House Elf teach the class before the replacement was found.
At least Coach Crouch seemed cool.
That being said, this wouldn't make Connie not ask the uncomfortable questions: "What's your muggle experience, sir? Surely you must know a lot about them to have picked you, compared to even Professor Elderberry who's muggleborn! Do you know how to use muggle items with electricity in them?"
