Background- When Jacinta Lawrence received her acceptance letter to Hogwarts, she wasn't exactly thrilled. Even though she was only eleven years old, she'd planned out an entire future based around science. Instead, it felt like she'd had her dreams torn away from her by magic. She almost didn't go, but the Headmaster himself came to her and showed her that science and magic weren't mutually exclusive and that while magic seemed to be set by different universal rules, there were still rules just the same.
She was accepted into House Gryffindor, and her favorite subject became Potions.
After she graduated from Hogwarts, she went to work for the Ministry of Magic where she met her future wife, Dido, who was married to a man at the time. Nearly fifteen years later, they got their chance at true love, and they dated for a short while before moving into the same house and getting married. JAcinta loves her step-children as if they were her own flesh and blood, and they love her, too.
When a teaching position opened up a decade ago for a Potions instructor, she jumped at the chance. She'd always wanted to pass along her knowledge to young minds, and this was her chance. She applied and got the position. She's never been happier.
Personal InformationPersonality
- Professor Lawrence adores teaching, and most of all, she adores Potions. She's very passionate about her subject, but she's also very fun-loving and understanding. Instead of admonishing students for not getting the complicated subject right on the first try, she helps them improve with gentle encouragement and a series of tips and tricks she picked up over the years. As a result, she has the highest rate of students passing potions of any other Hogwarts professor in the last fifty years, but she doesn't boast about it. She simply believes that it's more important to help students than to diminish ones who aren't trying hard enough or to put those who are advanced on too high a pedestal. She believes that every student should be given equal opportunity to succeed, and she does her best by them.
One thing she absolutely will not tolerate is bullying in or outside of her classroom, and she's quick to remove house points from those she sees hurting others physically or emotionally. On the other hand, she's also quick to deliver house points to those who offer help and encouragement, especially when there's inter-house cooperation.

Clothing Style
- Professor Lawrence prefers comfort over fashion. She loves her robes to be long and flowing though the sleeves will be pushed up and away from her hands when working with potions, and she adores earth-tones. She always wears her large, round, thick-rimmed glasses from which hangs a gold chain in the event she needs to remove them to read something. She tends to only wear jewelry on special occasions, in which instance it isn't uncommon to see her sport gold bangle bracelets and beaded necklaces. If she wears make-up at all, it's very minimalist and natural looking.
