HOGWARTS

PROFESSORS

NAME	POSITION	INFORMATION
CUTHBERT BINNS	History of Magic	Cuthbert Binns, who died in his chair by the fire, saw fit never to leave Hogwarts in his ignominious return to his post following his death. Quite possibly the most boring man alive with his soporiffic voice and boring subject matter, Cuthbert Binns ensures his students acquire a nap during his class.
EREMURUS DIGWORTHY	Herbology	A no-nonsense individual who takes his Herbology seriously. His motto is that if you don't have a love of plants, then you should get out of his class and he won't accept any tomfoolery. He often forgets that kids will be kids and that first through fifth years are required to take Herbology and therefore may not like plants as much as he does.
ARMANDO DIPPET	Head Master	Once the Head of Hufflepuff and the prior Arithmancy professor. He's a nervous diplomat who really struggles under a significant amount of pressure and whom Hagrid would call a "duffer," Arnando Dippet is easily impressed and hard to ignore.
ALBUS DUMBLEDORE	Deputy Head Master, Head of Gryffindor, Transfiguration	As the Head of Gryffindor House and the Deputy Headmaster, Dumbledore is certainly a respectable figure within the school. His bizarre sense of humor and love of muggle candies (such as lemon drops) make him a particular character that some students just don't understand. Students either love him or hate him, though most students are fond of him.
RUDY KETTLEBURN	CoMC	Professor Kettleburn is a plain-looking man with all of his limbs and his dry sense of humor still intact. He joined the Hogwarts staff three years ago when he was forced to retire from dragonkeeping after a nasty incident involving a brutish Hebridean Black and the giants. No one knows the specifics and only the bravest (or most foolish) of students dare ask him.
JONAS McKENNA	Astronomy, Head of Ravenclaw	A rickety old man Scotsman who, by Muggle terms, should have been dead and buried twenty years ago and it is only his love for the stars that keeps him going. His wealth of knowledge regarding astronomy is reknown by all students and oftentimes he invites students who favor Astronomy for chats on the top of the Astronomy Tower for a hot cup of tea and a lengthy discussion regarding the moons of Jupiter.
GALATEA MERRYTHOUGHT	DADA	It's no wonder that so few students want to take Professor Merrythought's class since she is apt to grade harshly and is not prone to granting kind words. The faint beginnings of rumors are growing that Galatea Merrythought is planning on retiring and since she is considered heartless by many and callous by all, chances are that her departure from Hogwarts would be well-celebrated indeed.
SARAH PICKWICK	Arithmancy, Head of Hufflepuff	Sarah Pickwick's subject may be difficult for many students to grasp, but with her sweet sensibilities and an acute understanding of Arithmancy, she can make even the hardest concept easy to understand.
HOLLY PILLIWICKLE	Ancient Runes	An Ravenclaw alumna who is reknown for favoring her old House's students. She can often be seen fishing by the lake during warmer seasons and ice-skating during the winter.
HORACE SLUGHORN	Head of Slytherin, Potions	Slughorn is particularly reknown for his Slug Club, an exclusive club for the best of the best students from whom he collects favours later on once they've become successful. He has his favorite students and you can bet that he won't get your name right unless you're one of them--or if you happen to have a bag of crystallized pineapples on hand!
APOLLINA STONE	Charms	Not a very good professor in comparison to many other professors. She often gets sidetracked and tries to be both the authoritative figure and the students' best friends. Students tend to goof off in her class because they can get away with it, and she never hands out detentions. Students often go to her to get points reinstated, which she'll do in a second for a well-placed compliment.
HELENA TROY-RIVERS	Divination	Helena Troy-Rivers is a kind, older woman who never recovered after her husband died during World War I. She claims she foresaw his death in her tea dregs and whenever she happens to mention this, bursts into a fit of tears and cancels class. As a result, not many students take Divination.

MISC STAFF

NAME	POSITION	INFORMATION
OGG & HAGRID &	Groundskeepers	Ogg is a complete mystery; he is rarely seen on the grounds except for the first and last days of term. No one truly knows what sort of person he is, except for what the boastful student might have to say after chancing upon him, and even his first name is a mystery to the students. Once Dumbledore created the position of keeper of the keys for Hagrid, Ogg showed him the ropes of managing the grounds.
POPPY POMFREY	Mediwitch	Poppy Pomfrey moved permanently on-staff at Hogwarts to make herself better available to the students. Madam Pomfrey is a motherly figure to any who happen to come by her Wing, though she brooks no nonsense, and is prone to making the students stay a day or two more than required out of caution.
IRMA PINCE & EDWIN PREWETT &	Librarians	Irma Pince, the typically stern and harsh-toned woman, is currently on maternity leave and in her place is the young Edwin Prewett. Mr Prewett is kind-faced and the object of many young girls' affections.
APOLLYON PRINGLE	Caretaker	A gruff man who never married or had children, which possibly explains why he lacks compassion with the students. He uses corporal punishment for reformation purposes when dealing with rulebreakers, and only the foolish students dare break the rules a second time.
GHOSTS	Residents of Hogwarts	Hogwarts' ghosts do one of three things: Help the students, hinder the students or ignore them completely. Nearly-Headless Nick will joyfully point a student in the right direction but woebetide the student who chances upon Peeves! Hogwarts is home to hundreds of ghosts, each of them harboring their own unique story just waiting to be told.

GENERAL NOTES

• Muggle Studies is as yet not on the curriculum. What with the current state of the world and the prejudices against Muggles and Muggleborns, most of the staff decided that the wizarding world just isn't ready for a such a class.

• In regards to corporal punishment: Corporal punishment was abolished in the UK school system in the 1980s so therefore whippings, smacking and hard labor are still permitted as of 1943. If you don't like the thought of your character being whipped for disobeying the rules, then don't let your character break the rules!

• The house-elves of Hogwarts reside in the kitchens, the locations of which very few students are aware of. Unless your student happens to have the prototype to the Marauders' Map, they will not know the location of such places as the passageway hidden behind the statue of humpbacked witch or the Room of Requirement. Even if your student found the Room of Requirement once before, chances are not very high that they would be able to find it again. Additionally, students won't be able to get into the Common Rooms of other Houses.
