Dumbledore smiles at that, at both her acceptance of the idea and her clear nervousness at doing so. In a tone that he hopes is a reassuring one, he says, "Then we shall make sure you are. I can speak with the Headmaster later today to see what can be done."

The second part is honestly heartwarming. Albus likes to think of himself as a good teacher -- he's been called vain more than once for his surety in himself, not without reason -- but there is something genuinely affecting in hearing students value his teaching. He nods in response, answering:

"And you shall. If the books are insufficient -- well, I may not be able to teach the class in the same way as before, but I am a teacher still, and would be happy to meet after class to make sure you are given the education you wish for."
