P: Luca, if you hadn't guessed, is a proud woman. She's strict but fair. Rule breaking will make her mad, which doesn't happen often. She's usually agreeable, and enjoys all kinds of company. However, when she wants to be left alone, you best leave her alone, or there'll be hell to pay.


Potions-Bane Cypher
A: Bane's a tall man. He's muscular, with short blond hair. His eyes are a deep sapphire blue. Bane likes to wear brown pants and a blue dress shirt with a leather vest instead of the usual teaching robes. He says it hinders his teaching less. When in dress robes though, they are blood red.

Then he graduated, and went on to become a healer at St. Mungo's. After the death of Professor Snape, Bane stepped in to take over the positon.
P: Bane's a good person. He's usually happy, and willing to help the students in anyway necessary.

He grew, and came to replace Professor McGonagall when she became Headmistress.
P: Thom is a huge sports fan. He'll make time to talk about Quiddtich. He dislikes stupid people, but thoroughly enjoys people who try hard in his class.

H: Ander grew up always confusing reality with fiction. He spent most of his childhood in places like Wonderland and Oz. When he grew of age, he learned that in some places, reality and fantasy do mix, such as Hogwarts. He went to school, showing an aptitude for Herbology. When Neville Longbottom stepped down to spend time with his adopted son Erick, Ander took the position of Herbology Professor.
P: Ander is a bit lost and confused. If students can actually get his attention, he's willing enough to help, not that his help is very useful. He harbors a delusion that the flowers talk to him. Ander can be brilliant at times, but he's usually a bit scatter brained.

She passed her Auror tests at the age of 19 and grew in magical skill until the age of 25, when she applied at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to take over the retiring Professor Jones.
P:Karry is bubbly and clever. She has the heart of a lion when it comes to fighting, but it doesn't show when she teaches. She treats children with kindness which makes her the favourite teachers of her House, the majority of Hufflpuff and about half of Ravenclaw, but the Slytherins all like their Head of House the most. She makes friends quickly, but her few enemies outside of the Dark Arts were made twice as quickly. Her best lesson was always D.A.D.A.


Astronomy-James Cazan

The two were wed, and James became the Astronomy teacher at Hogwarts. Then he learned that his wife Mary had caught pneumonia and died. James continued teaching, but had lost all spark in his life.
P: James is a cold cynical person. He used to always smile and be happy until his wife Mary died. Now he hates his job, and hates people in general. He tends to leave his students on top of the Astronomy Tower, and forget about them. When a student comes asking for help, James will either ignore them, or brush them off. All in all, he's not a nice person.


Arithmancy-Avery Lake
A: Avery is about medium height, and.....substantial. That is to say, he's not obese, but he's not skinny, either. He's got short dirty blond-to-the-point-it's-almost-brown hair. He has warm chocolate colored eyes. You could almost describe Avery as a human teddy bear. His black robes help substantiate that assessment.
H: Avery is from a small town in Georgia. When he started talking about seeing things like dragons and fairies, his parents had him committed to a mental institution. He escaped using magic, and somehow ended up at Hogwarts. Avery is dyslexic, but has a way with magical numbers which landed him the job of Arithmancy professor at Hogwarts.
P: Avery is a little off beat, making him a favorite among the students. He's got dyslexia and a lisp, either of which being talked about sets him off. Usually he's really agreeable, once even being compared to a compassionate five-year-old. In short, while he has the mentality of a young child, Avery is highly intelligent, and someone to know.


Divination-Raina Briggs (Head of Slytherin)

P: Raina's strict. Some kids would call her a torturer. However, she just wants people to truly appreciate the art of Divination. If you can get on her good side, she's fiercely loyal. She has a good relationship with Bane Cypher and Kaelin Nellam. The three of them are nearly inseparable.

P: Emmett is always up for a laugh, unless it gets in the way of him deciphering runes. He's always working on a new set of runes, and is very determined. Emmett's mind understands things other people's don't, so he has a tendency to talk in half sentences because his brain is working faster than his mouth.
