BIRTH-DATE: October 4
CONNECTIONS: Dorcus Meadows; best friend.
OCCUPATION: Transfiguration Professor. Badass
PERSONALITY: Witty, smart, tough, strict, frightening.
BRIEF BIO: Born in the year 1925, Minerva was born into the very strict McGonagall family. Growing up in an extremely rigid household there was never any room for errors with her parents. While they didn't push her to be perfect at everything, they pushed her to do well in all of her classes and never fail at anything school related. So she spent almost all of her free time studying for all of her classes all of the time. She never was the type for taking an adventure or to look for trouble, she was one of the quiet kids who sat and read a book or studied.
Once she started schooling at Hogwarts, she learned she had an affinity for transfiguration. She wasn't particularly good at Potions, but her exceptional skills at transfiguration made up for that. She always excelled at any assignment the professor would give her all through her years at Hogwarts. She was sorted into Gryffindor and was proud to wear the gryffindor colors. Though she did well in all of her classes, she always leaned towards transifiguration and even became a registered animagus, being able to transform into a cat with markings around the eyes. After learning the difficult task of making a patronus, she learned her patronus was also a tabby cat with the same square markings around the eyes.
While she was at school she became incredibly close to Dorcas Meadows. The two were dorm mates and were inseperable in school. Dorcas was, and still is, Minerva's best friend. Even at school, Minerva didn't smile that much unless Dorcas was around. She never had a crush on anyone and never dated because there was no one who interested her. She mainly just focused on her studies and her friendships. One other thing she enjoyed during school was Quidditch. No matter what house was playing, she could be seen there watching them play. She never played the game herself, but she really enjoyed watching it. When Gryffindor plays even now she can be seen with a small smile on her face as she watches her team.
After her years at Hogwarts she spent a few years working around Hogsmeade with Dorcas and going to London as well as other places in England. She visited her parents often and was delighted when she was offered the position of Transfiguration professor at the school. She accepted gladly and has been the Transfiguration professor ever since. Her classes are very structered, she doesn't let any students mess around. They pay attention or she makes them. She still rarely smiles and her hair is always in a very tight bun. She runs her class with an iron fist and makes it a challenging class. Along with being the Transfiguration professor, she is also a member of Order of the Phoenix. [/size] PLAY BY: Lady GaGa.
BIRTH-DATE: May 15th, 1948.
CONNECTIONS: Hogwarts staff; friends.
OCCUPATION: Sexual Education Professor
PERSONALITY: Energetic, passionate, different, quirky, loving, intelligent.
BRIEF BIO:When she was young, Professor Clearwater’s parents died from an unusual death. The police were unable to figure out what had happened because it seemed that Mr. and Mrs. Clearwater had died of fright. Leaving the case closed after a year of searching for the killer, the police put Rae in an orphanage. Orphan life was tough for Rae. She was often teased because she kept saying that she felt like she was “different” than everyone and thought magic was real. The orphanage owners were starting to get worried for Rae and went to a mental institute to ask if they would take her. A witch over heard the ‘symptoms’ and followed the orphanage owner back. At age of six, Lyra Roberts adopted Rae as her own, and she single handedly raised Rae. She was a loving mother, and she taught her adopted daughter about life outside the Muggle world.
Rae went through Hogwarts normally. Nothing extremely excited happened, but she did go to school around the time of Phillis Grimmer, Billie Tyler, Jamie Robinson, Vanessa Rowle, Valerie Waldgrave, Derrick Nott and Maxwell Wesley. However, she only really talked to Jamie and Valerie since they were in her year. Rae is new to Hogwarts this year. Headmaster Dumbledore called upon her to teach Sexual Education for the first ever year. Extremely nervous to start her first year, Rae’s able to cope very well with all of the professors and students. She loves her subject, and she loves her students. She’s one of the upbeat professors and when in class, isn’t afraid to be a total kid.
One thing that Rae is passionate about is ending house rivalry. She tries to make the students who hate each other work together and if they taunt and trash each other, she threatens to take away house points. Rae has a slight scheme up her sleeve. She plans on finding fake babies from a muggle store and making the students take care of them. She’s planning on pairing them up with people they don’t get along with or don’t interact with a lot. Rae is usually an excited person, and she doesn’t have a bad bone in her. Her heart belongs on the light, and there’s nothing that can change that.

- MALE STAFF - [/size][/center] PLAY BY: John Simms.
BIRTHDATE: 21st October, 1941.
CONNECTIONS: Horace Slughorn; arch nemesis. Alice Adams, Nymphadora Tonks; secretly adored by. Order members; dislikes.
OCCUPATION: Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor, teaches dueling.
PERSONALITY: Strict, witty, intelligent, proud, vainglorious, charming, obsessive.
BRIEF BIO:Jarold was born to pure-bloods Lucy and Elvendork Baxon, and from a young age it was drummed into his head that pure-bloods were superior and that one should look down upon muggles, muggle-borns, blood-traitors and the like. From early on, it was clear to see that Jarold was a clever boy, brilliant in fact. Whenever he got an idea into his head he would get obsessed and would stop at nothing until he got the outcome he desired. Being a typical boy, he had a love for fighting and his dad would teach him how to duel in the back garden. At Hogwarts he was unsurprisingly sorted into Slytherin house and became Slytherin prefect and head boy; which suited him well since he loved to dominate everyone around him. He has always been very proud of himself and quite the big head; and could often be found apologizing for the effect he has on people and for how they seem to get obsessed; was it the smile? Was it the aftershave? Was it the capacity to laugh at him self? He didn’t know.
Now in 1976, he is the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, which many find ironic, and also teaches duelling; which needless to say is far less ironic. He decided to become a teacher because he loved the power it involved, although he detests the fact that he’s not head of Slytherin house. He has a very dry sense of humour, and always manages to make witty jokes in tense situations, although most people don’t tend to find it funny bearing the situations in hand. A lot of people think that he is insane and if anyone is ever brave enough to tell him this, he just sticks his thumbs up and hits them with a smoky, gas hex and then walks away safely wearing a gas mask he conjured up.
One of the strictest of the Professors at Hogwarts, he loves putting students in detention or rather “capturing” them as he sees it. He is probably the most feared of the professors, even by Slytherins, and hardly any of the students like him due to the fact of his constant mocking and detention giving. Tonks and Alice however secretly love (but are not in love with) Professor Baxon, always finding themselves amused by his witty remarks, not really too bothered about detentions or the seriousness of the situations he tends to make fun of.
There have been many rumours about Professor Baxon; some people believe that he is The Dark Lord’s right hand man and a spy amongst Hogwarts clandestinely working on it’s downfall, others believe that he is a death eater but holds plans to overthrow Voldemort and take this world for his own (something most believe he is capable of), many seem to think he has killed and will do again, and one of the most popular rumours is that he is secretly plotting the death of Professor Slughorn, so he can become the head of Slytherin house. Another reason people think this is because he used to be best friends with Horace Slughorn, however the pair are now more arch enemies than anything due to their difference in opinions; whilst Jarold agrees with Voldemort and his Death Eaters, Horace is leaning more towards the Order. Of course there are the rare few who believe Dumbledore would never hire someone capable of such things, but those are very few and far in-between. Whatever the rumour, 99.9% of them seem to point to Jarold Baxon being some kind of psychopath.

BIRTHDATE: 15th September, 1940.
CONNECTIONS: Phillis Grimmer; love interest. Maxwell Wesley; dislikes because of jealousy. Arvin Cunningham; good friends.
OCCUPATION: Newspaper Professor.
PERSONALITY: Creative, bitter, secret romantic, rude, intelligent.
BRIEF BIO:Erik was born to Erika and Erik Erikson on 15th September, 1940. From a young age he always loved making up stories, in fact almost everyday he claimed to have been captured by a giant [escaping just in time to avoid being dinner] or to have befriended a unicorn who, believe it or not, could talk and told him that his name was silly. This resulted in his insistence to be called ‘Junior’. Of course his parents knew it was nonsense, yet they admired his creativity, and more often than not, encouraged it.
The family wasn’t surprised when Junior got his acceptance letter and he was all too pleased to be going to the school he had dreamt about ever since he could remember. However when he got there, he was disappointed. He didn’t get put in the house he liked [being sorted into Ravenclaw, wanting to be Gryffindor], and many people would laugh at him and his “stupid” stories. The Slytherins, in particular, liked to make fun of him. Not only that, but his dream of creating a school paper was repeatedly crushed by headmaster Armando Dippet, who decided it was the easiest and quickest way to spread rumours. He never saw it as an opportunity for students to express themselves.
When Dumbledore took over in ‘55, he too refused to let the boy have his paper. Alas, Junior had a truly terrible time at Hogwarts with very few friends.
After leaving school, he worked hard and got himself a job at the daily prophet; he reverted back to his full name of Erik Erikson, deciding it sounded more suitable and grown up. In the years to follow, he worked his way up to being one of the main journalists. Once he was a regular at the paper; his favourite topic to write about was Hogwarts. Still bitter from his school life, he would often write inaccurate stories about the place. When Professor Grimmer got a job at Hogwarts as the flying professor and Quidditch ref, it was a story he was eager to report on. Mainly this was because her father, previously a professional Quidditch player, had been profoundly injured playing the sport years previously resulting in Grimmer never playing Quidditch since until now [She was once listed as one of the “Quidditch Players to watch” before the accident occurred]. He never expected to fall for the professor, but fall he did.
Whilst working on his story, he soon noticed there was something going on between Grimmer and Wesley, the chemistry and tension clearly apparent to him. Driven by jealousy, his new favourite topic to write about was Wesley; writing many lies about the man including the scandal of the year claiming the professor was having multiple affairs with his students; from first years all the way up to the sevenths. Some of the students included "Teacher's pet" Lillian Morris and "tough girl" Alice Adams. Another story he proceeded to write was how Wesley would accept bribes to alter students grades. This of course is a lie, Wesley would never make deals with students in exchange for cauldren cakes. Erik was becoming a nuisance, and caused much havoc for Hogwarts, however being the genius he is, Dumbledore came up with a way of solving the problem without any conflict. He offered Erik a job at the school allowing him to create a paper with the students; knowing he would accept since it was something he had always wanted.
Though the job was less credited than the one at the Prophet, Erik found himself accepting feeling he had finally won; having never been allowed to do it before. Dumbledore did give the man one rule; he was not allowed to publish any stories about particular students or professors unless they had signed stating they were happy for it to print. Mostly Erik sticks to this rule, though he has been known to use invisible ink to hide “story subject to change.” Generally the paper is filled with light-hearted stories, contrasting to the constant stories in the prophet about the current dark times the world is facing, as well as some regular columns from students including the advice page; “Ask Alice” and "Getting to know you" - a section where Nymphadora Tonks and Alice Adams ask the professors questions. Erik finds himself in a love-triangle with Grimmer and Wesley; most people think he is a jerk yet he has a soft side he shows only to Grimmer leading to people wondering why she likes him. He also secretly writes poetry [usually about Grimmer], which occasionally he anonymously prints in the paper.

BIRTH-DATE: September 17
CONNECTIONS: All other teachers.
OCCUPATION: Care of Magical Creatures professor.
PERSONALITY: Quiet, strong, adventurous, mischievous, crazy
BRIEF BIO: Silvanus Kettleburn is never one to talk about his childhood, that is one of the few things he keeps to himself. Even to those who he is close to. As a small child, Silvanus was always moving around. He could never sit still, no matter how he tried, he just had to be moving around. He tended to love just wandering around places he had never been, attempting some sort of adventure. Though the result of these adventures oftentimes was him bringing home random animals that he wanted to keep and take care of. At first his parents thought it was just a cry for attention or just a phase he was going through, so they would turn the other way in allowing him to do this. After some years, they realized that it wasn't a phase and started to put a stop to it, only angering Silvanus making him want to act out against them. There were times when he would be kicked out of school for causing problems with other kids. Silvanus was the kid who was always doing something wrong and causing problems at any given moment in the day. Ever since his parents put their foot down, he was constantly doing everything he could to go against them.
He knew from a young age about the wizarding world, since both of his parents were wizards. His mother workd in the Ministry of Magic along with his father, so he grew up knowing exactly what to expect and what was expected of him. Even though he dealt with magic everyday, when he started showing signs, it was like the world was real. Now all he had to do was wait for his letter to come around his eleventh birthday and he would be on his way . Truthfully, he couldn't wait to see what the school had in order for him.
On his eleventh birthday, he was sent to Hogwarts with enthusiastic parents. They were hoping that going to this school would help calm him down and straighten him out, but they were wrong. Every single year Silvanus was sent to the Headmaster's office multiple times. If it hadn't been for his incredible marks in Care for Magical Creatures and Charms classes, he could have been expelled. But some unknown force was acting as his saving grace and he made it through all seven years without completely ruining his future. As his seventh year was nearing its end, he excelled in Care for Magical Creatures and Charms. Excelling at both of these, he had no idea what these two subjects would do to help him move on in life. Silvanus had never given much thought to what he had wanted to do in life after Hogwarts. His parents had always been pushing him working in the ministry with them, but that wasn't something he wanted to do. Being stuck in an office having someone watch over your shoulder all day was not something he wanted to do for his entire life. No, he wanted to work the magical creatures, he studied them day in and day out and did all in his power to know as much as he could about them.
Though the feeling of never knowing what he was going to want to do with his life kept him down much of his seventh year, he suddenly began hearing some rumors that his current Care for Magical Creatures professor would be retiring from the school in the next few years. If he could just wait until he retired, Silvanus could take over the position and become the new Care for Magical Creatures professor. Hearing these rumors completely took away any sadness or unease that he was feeling and put new hope in him. As soon as he heard the rumors, he went straight to the headmaster asking if there was any way he would consider him for the position if the opportunity arose. When the headmaster promised to consider him, all Silvanus had to do was wait for the position to open up. After his seventh year, he bummed around England before finally receiving a letter saying that the Headmaster wanted Silvanus to be the new Hogwarts Care of Magical Creature Professor. Gladly accepting the position, Silvanus began slow preparations to begin teaching his class.
In his first few years of teaching, his class was incredibly random and the lessons were all over the place. Students noticed that there was no order to his teachings and found it difficult to keep up with his constant jumping between subjects. Though after a few years, he slowly was getting the hang of it and soon had a specific order to teaching and it became a much more liked class after he got his bearings in order. His attention has been caught by the new airthmancy professor as well as another professor. Though pursuing either of them is out of mind as long as he works at the school. He still manages to get himself in trouble at least once a month, seeing himself put on probation multiple times. He never really thinks his decisions through if it's not teaching, which gets him in constant trouble with Dumbledore. If it wasn't for him being an exceptional teacher, Dumbledore would have fired him long ago for his shenanigans. He enjoys teaching very much and is always seen very enthusiastic about his students learning every little thing they can do to take care of magical creatures around them.

BRIEF BIO:Benedict King was born to Reginald King and Mary Ann Jameson in 1933. Reginald King was a strict man and a Major General in the Marines. He met Mary Ann when he was on leave and she was visiting her Great Uncle Archibald in the states. Mary Ann was British, born and raised in London, while Reginald had grown up in Alabama. Their personalities clashed quite a bit – Reginald was strict and orderly while Mary Ann considered herself a free spirit and was constantly telling Reginald to loosen up. In spite of their differences, the two of them fell in love. When Mary Ann found out she was pregnant, the two of them got married and Mary Ann reluctantly moved to America. Their son was born and called Benedict after Reginald’s father and Archibald after Mary Ann’s Great Uncle.
As Benedict {or Benny, as they began to call him} grew older, Reginald began to drum into him the importance of honor and patriotism. He wanted Benny to follow in his footsteps and join the Marines. Mary Ann, however, had had enough of the uptight soldier act. She left Reginald in 1938, when Benny was 7, and moved to back to England. At first, Benny stayed in Alabama with his father and visited his mother only on the holidays – but then, in 1941, the United States declared war on Japan and Reginald went off to war, sending Benny to live with his mother in England. Mary Ann tried to instill in her son a love of literature and art in the hopes that maybe he would become an artist or a writer or something less dangerous than a soldier. Most of her attempts to get him to love art failed, but books – books Benny liked quite a lot. He liked to spend hours flipping through picture books and pouring over novels. His favorite book though, out of all the books his mother gave him, was his mother’s leather-bound copy of The Complete Sherlock Holmes. His infatuation with it started just because the book was quite fancy, but then he began to read it and he grew more and more fond of this Sherlock fellow. It wasn’t long before Sherlock Holmes was his idol and he sought to imitate him constantly. He often commented on how he was trying to keep his brain-attic stocked with only the furniture that he would use, and was quite proud when people recognized this as a Sherlock reference. His mother had hoped that his love of Sherlock might inspire him to write, but Benny was still set on becoming a soldier and making his father proud.
But then, in 1945, when Benny was twelve, things changed. Strange things had always happened around him, but he’d just sort of thought it was normal. Why shouldn’t books fly off the shelves to him when he wanted him? And clearly it was just a coincidence that the boy who used to bully him arrived at school one day with bright green hair. So when a man arrived from someplace called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to explain that Benny was a wizard, he was skeptical at first – but it didn’t take long for him to accept it as the truth, and once he did that, he was excited.
Once at school, Benny was sorted into Hufflepuff. His teachers often remarked that they were surprised he wasn’t in Ravenclaw because of his quick-wit, or Slytherin because of his sharp-tongue, or even Gryffindor because of his boldness, but for his part, Benny was thrilled with his house. In fact, he often got into fights with students who insulted Hufflepuff. He was a good student, but not an overachiever – he passed all his classes, but didn’t even try to do any better in them than he had to. Professors often chastised him for this, saying that he could do much better if he tried, but he ignored them. During his school years, he sometimes liked to play the role of Hogwarts-Detective, adopting a looking glass and taking on the cases of his fellow students. He was actually quite good at his amateur detective work and by his seventh year students from all different houses were coming to him for help to find out who their boyfriends were cheating on them with or who had stolen their left shoe. In spite of this, he was not very well liked by most students – they tended to find him arrogant and his constant Sherlock-esque observations about their lives annoyed them. He did, however, have a few very close friends and he was incredibly loyal to these friends.
When he left Hogwarts at the age of 18, he was torn between two careers. On the one hand, he desperately wanted to become a Hogwarts professor so that he could be head of Hufflepuff house; but on the other hand, he still very much wanted to join the Marines and make his father proud. Eventually he made his decision and moved back to America, where he enlisted. He spent nearly seventeen years – sixteen and a half years, to be exact - in the Marines, fought in the Korean War and by the end of those sixteen and a half years he had achieved the rank of Colonel. And he would have stayed in the Marines if not for that fact that, when he was 34, he was wounded. His injuries were caused in an accident - he was helping to conduct a training exercise for some cadets and one of them accidentally shot him in the leg. The military doctor who treated his injuries was one John Watson and Benny took this coincidence to be a sign that John Watson was meant to be his best friend. As it happened, John was a wizard, too, and the two of them grew quite close while John was treating Benny. Benny does, actually, consider him to be his best friend. Because of the fact that he was forced to walk with a cane after this and probably always would, Benny was honorably discharged and it was then that he decided to pursue his other career choice. He went to Hogwarts in search of a job as a professor, but, to his dismay, there wasn’t an open position for him. There was, however, an opening for a new librarian and he snatched the opportunity up with the hopes that it would soon lead to a job as a professor. In the end, he did have an opportunity to become a professor, but turned it down because he’d grown so fond of the library. In fact, he was so fond of the library that he began referring to it as his library.
Now, he is quite content with his job. He is well liked by most students, but especially by the Hufflepuffs, because he tends to favor them and if he ever sees a Hufflepuff about to be given detention, he will do his best to get them out of it. He is always willing to write a note to get Hufflepuffs out of class on multiple occasions and he spends a few nights a week in the Hufflepuff Common Room, joking with students and helping with homework. He’s not very strict about things like running in the halls or pulling pranks or making out in broom closets; when it comes to those kinds of things, he will usually just let students off with a half-hearted scolding and send them on their way. He is strict about one thing, however- his library. He will not tolerate students eating his library and should anyone return one of his books in less than the condition they took it out in, he will hunt them down and give them detention for a week. Over the years, students have learned not to sneak food into the library, because he always uses his observational skills to find them out and he is never wrong. He keeps up his amateur detective work, using it to help students and professors alike. AMAZINGSAUCE Tonks likes to compare him to Sherlock Holmes and because of this she is his favorite student. He still maintains that is brain-attic must be kept stocked with only the information he needs and, actually, until one of his students informed him, he was not aware that the planets orbit the sun.
He tries to maintain a good relationship with all the professors, though John Watson still remains his bestfriend. John recently moved to England and he and Benedict are actually renting an apartment together, though Benedict is rarely there since he works at Hogwarts. John is a faithful order member and is always trying to get Benny to go to meetings, but he has not succeeded yet. Of the Hogwarts Professors, Benedict is probably closest with Rae Clearwood – in fact, though he’s never been much for emotions like love, he is pretty sure he has fallen in love with Rae. Still, he will not tell her this because he is sure she could never return those feelings and he doesn’t want to hurt the friendship. He considers all of the professors to be his good friends and, for the most part, they think of him the same way, though occassionaly he comes across as arrogant to them. Though he likes Valerie Waldgrave, he does not deny that he resents her a little for being head of Hufflepuff. He gets on well with Derrick Nott, much to the dismay of Slughorn, Nurse Tyler and Professor Grimmer, who cannot stand Nott. Lately, Nott has been trying to recruit Benedict as a death eater, and he is extremely torn. His military training and good standing with both students and teachers would make him a valuable asset to whatever side he joined, but he simply can’t make up his mind as to which side he wants to be on. He doesn’t necessarily agree with Voldemort, but he knows that if he goes against Voldemort, he will be in more danger than some of his friends, being that he is a muggleborn, while joining the deatheaters might afford him some little bit of safety – he’s just not sure he’s willing to kill innocent people to get that safety.

BRIEF BIO: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore never had an easy life. When he was 10 years old, his father, Percival Dumbledore, was imprisoned when he attacked three muggle boys who traumatized his daughter, Ariana. The Dumbledore family spent the next eight years trying to conceal the extent of Ariana's instability, even going so far as to attempt to conceal Ariana's existence - not because they were ashamed of her, but because they were afraid of losing her. In spite of the trouble at home, Albus did well when he went away to Hogwarts at the age of eleven. He was sorted into Gryffindor house and he was both a good student and a good friend while he was there.
People expected big things from Albus Dumbledore, but things changed when, around the time Albus graduated, his mother was killed - accidentally - by Ariana. Shortly after that, in another accident, this one involving a quarrel between Aberforth, Albus, and Gellert Grindelwald, Ariana was also killed. Aberforth blamed Albus for their sister's death - perhaps quite fairly, as it would not be untrue to say that Albus may have been neglecting his duties at home in favor of spending time with Gellert Grindelwald, whom he had fallen in love with over the summer - and the two were never really on good terms after that. In an attempt to make up for his mistakes, Albus went on to do great things. In 1945, when Albus was twenty, he defeated his old friend Gellert Grindelwald, who had since attempted to establish wizard supremacy over muggles. Albus imprisoned Gellert in Nurmengard, the prison Gellert built for his own enemies. By the time Albus was twenty-one, he was teaching Transfiguration at Hogwarts and by the time he was thirty he had become headmaster.
Now, in 1976, Albus is still headmaster of Hogwarts and he is still striving to make up for his past mistakes. He is recognized as one of the most powerful wizards of the modern age, but he doesn't flaunt his power. In fact, if one were to simply have a chat with Albus, they would assume he was just a wise, kindly man. Many people assume he will one day want to be Minister for Magic, but Albus has no such aspiration. When it comes to his staff, Albus is wary of some and trusting of others. He keeps a careful eye on those, like Jarold Baxon, he feels might be siding with Voldemort and attempts to subtly steer those, like Maxwell Wesley or Horace Slughorn, who seem to be undecided in the right direction. For the most part, he considers his staff to be his friends and believes that they are all good deep down. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen. Recently, Albus has become very close with Maurice Higgins, the Ancient Runes professor. He'd always been wary of Maurice, not just because Maurice was a vampire, but also because he appears to be absolutely mad. However, since the start of the 1976 school year, Albus has got to know Maurice quite well and has realized that their is more to him than just the crazy, eccentric man that everyone sees. Albus is pretty sure that he is falling in love with Maurice, but he refuses to admit it, because the last person he fell in love with indirectly caused his sister's death. Maurice is the first person Albus has ever told the entire story of his sister's death to and, after hearing it, Maurice encouraged Albus to make a mends with Aberforth. Albus has since made several trips to the Hog's Head, but never found the courage to go in.
