PROFESSOR WINFIELD

GHOUL STUDIES

PROFESSOR

Christina Lela Winfield

AGE : 25 (But is actually much older)

CLASS : Ghoul Studies (This is an elective and takes place shortly after nightfall.)

SCHOOLING : (Primary) Koldovstoretz school of Witch Craft and Wizardry
(Specialized) Euro-Glyph School of Extraordinary Languages

Bio : Born somewhere in Greece around 1949 Christina was what was known as a temple child because her mother was the Last High Priestess of Hecate and her father unknown. Conceived to be her mother's successor Christina's destiny changed in a senseless attack which left her an orphan and destroyed the temple she'd called home for her first nine years of life.

Raised by an Aunt who was barely related to her Christina was and still is watched over by her mother's ghost and is the reason she is considered one of the Wizarding World's experts on Ghosts, Specters, Spirits and Poltergeist..

Arachne

She attended Koldovstoretz in Russia where she proved a quick learner but a problem because of her ability to call Ghosts to herself. Still even with all of Christina's Spectral troubles she graduated in the upper 10% of her class and went on to study Euro-Glyph School of Extraordinary Languages in Paris France.

Also an expert maker of potions it is known by a few that Christina has discovered a potion to slow aging or that is at least the suspicion which is why her actual age doesn't match her perceived age.

Sought out by the Death Eaters in the first war Christina became their enemy for refusing to join them and actually aiding those against them. And in the lull between wars Christina made friends with Minerva McGonagall who later asked her to become the former Ghouls teacher's replacement.

She has written 23 books on the various types of Ghosts, Specters and Poltergeist her most famous "The Fetters that Bind and The Dead have Feelings" she also has written 9 books on deciphering the texts of antiquity.

PERSONALITY : Christina is in simple terms spooky many claiming they get a chill whenever she's near, this could be due to the fact that she is always accompanied by a Ghost or just nerves. She's most definitely a night person who's rarely seen out in daylight and when she is she wears dark glasses and a large hat.

Friendly unless angered Christina can become a powerful foe who's mastery of spirit magic can summon an army of Ghosts to her aid.

Patient and thoughtful she genuinely enjoys teaching often helping her students in classes outside of her own.

Ghoul Studies

Deep in the dungeons of Hogwarts is found the Serpentine Hall and the classroom of Ghoul Studies.

Serpentine Hall not properly part of the Dungeons but the entrance to the Catacombs but by Salazar Slytherin in the tenth century. The hall is home to some of Hogwarts most beautiful stonework and sculpted art. But like many such places it is a facade that hides behind it's beauty many secrets in the Catacombs of Hogwarts.

This lonely hall is the place quoted in the legend of horrors that the older students and siblings use to frighten and astound. It is haunted by ghosts which names are known to only other ghosts and of course the Professor of Ghoul Studies

The quiet Miss Winfield is almost never seen above ground in daylight and at night seen more outdoors except on rare occasions at Feasts or important school functions. When she speaks people must strain to hear her but she has demonstrated either an ability or spell that emits a scream equal to a Banshee's which she used to drive back a group of three direwolves that had wandered on campus.

Her quarters are off her classroom and were once an abandoned crypt built for one of the Heirs of Slytherin and are twice as spacious as those of the other professors. (The only draw back is no view.) The Ghoul Studies class is conducted in the catacombs themselves but has as it's actual classroom is a small amphitheater who's lectern sets recessed into a natural half dome of Large crystals. The students desks are spacious and even described as comfy and sit 3-6-12-28 on each level. Four seats are occupied permanently, 2 on the highest level with 1 each on levels 2 an 3. ( 1 Mummy and a Skeleton top level, 1 Ghoul on the third and a former student's ghost on the second level)

The Ghoul Studies class at present has only four registered students. (Aella Arcane 6th year Slytherin. Bella Sinclair 5th year Ravenclaw, 4th year Ravenclaw and Horace Uthur 166th year At Large former Gryffindor 7th year)

Class begins exactly two hours after dark or evening meal in the long nights of winter. Usually Miss Winfield tells her class the history of the area they'll visit that night or the legends of the ghosts they might encounter. Sometimes though Miss Winfield's mother a ghost takes over teaching a portion of the course mother and daughter call practical questions and answers. No one is sure what Miss Winfield does on those night's which she doesn't appear to teach.

Once a month Miss Winfield locks the students in a catacomb section where Peeves is allowed to play with them anyway he wishes so long as they are not harmed. ( Feel free to try magic on Peeves but be warned that he's resisted many attempts to expel him and a couple of those that tried had to leave the school shortly afterwards.)

Name
Ruthanne "Ruth" Weaver-Jones

Age
14

Year
4th Year

House
Hufflepuff

Wand
10" Hazel wood, unicorn hair core, nice and supple.

Personality
Ruth is best described by all those who had met her as somewhat of a ditz. She's not the brightest and is unable to focus for too long on anything if it doesn't interest her. This is a source of tension between her and her teachers, who constantly have to check on her during lessons to make sure she hasn't started daydreaming. Outside of classes, she tends to hang round large groups of students, listening to their conversations but rarely joining in, and has no true friends yet due to her shyness. If someone does talk to her though, they'll find she's very friendly... perhaps a little too friendly, with no sense of social boundaries and likely to trust anyone who shows her even the slightest amount of kindness. She is incapable of doing wrong to anyone - at least not intentionally - and even less capable of sensing the dark intentions of others, making her vulnerable to manipulation.

History
Ruth is a halfblood, child of the muggle Michael Jones and the witch Cornelia Weaver. Cornelia had once attended Hogwarts in her youth, but after falling in love with Michael, decided to give up using magic and adapt to a normal lifestyle. She had two children, Ruth and her younger brother Robert, and got a job as a business woman, doing all she could to support her family. However, as hard as she tried, Cornelia could never quite rid herself of her need for magic, and would often use little tricks now and then when she felt she could get away for it.

To make things even more complicated, it quickly turned out that Ruth had inherited her mother's abilities. Her powers first became apparent when Ruth accidentally sent a boy flying after he startled her by putting a beetle down the back of her jumper. After this incident, Cornelia, who had been keeping her magical heritage a secret from her family, finally decided to tell them the truth, and told them that Ruth herself should go to Hogwarts in order to train her magical abilities. Michael was uncertain and Ruth even less so as it would mean leaving all her friends behind. After much persuading though, Ruth eventually became curious of a world in which magic existed, and was sent off to Hogwarts and sorted into the Hufflepuff house.

During her first two years at Hogwarts, Ruth was like a lot of Hufflepuffs, having no particular area of expertise. She was fairly average in most subjects, aside from History of Magic which she found the most boring and therefore never tried all that much for, and while she did enjoy Potions class the most, she wasn't particularly good at it as she often enjoyed going off the recipe and experimenting. The results often blew up in her face, quite literally. However, once she reached third year, she started taking Care of Magical Creatures and Divination, the latter of which she discovered she had quite the talent for. However, due to the inexact nature of Divination, don't expect her to be making huge or entirely accurate predictions. After discovering her true magical talent, Ruth has become less crazy about Potions, and while she still enjoys the subject, she's less likely to blow up the Potions Lab, much to her teacher's relief.

Now she's in 4th year, and after hearing about the extracurricular Ghoul Studies, she's become curious. A class teaching about ghosts and the mysteries of death? She knew magic was powerful but she never thought it was that powerful. Now, eager to find out about a very different side of magic, she had decided to take up the class.

Pet

Ash the Barn Owl

Ash, a small and mischievous young barn owl. He gained his name due to his unusual and distinctive colouring. He's Ruth's only real friend at the moment, and while he does have a tendency to play pranks on her, he remains her loyal companion.

Estelle Marie Forrester

14 | 4th Year | Hufflepuff | Medium

Estelle

Standing at 4'5, Estelle is a very slender and petite girl. Her hair goes well past her waist and she normally keeps it back in a braid.

Wand

Personality

Generally a quiet girl, Estelle normally fades into the background. She is the kind of person who prefers to take the pictures, not be in them. She is usually a very passive and kind person. Being as sensitive as she is, she does not like violence and tries to avoid any and all conflict. She is an easy-going person and very agreeable. She tends to blurt a lot of things out without realizing it or thinking about her words. She also gets embarrassed and flustered way too easily; often blushing and hiding her face. She is somewhat of a klutz, managing to trip over her own feet more often than not. However, she can be very stubborn if she feels like it. She also puts others needs before her own and in most cases she reacts without thinking of her own well-being: if someone is being hurt, Estelle will immediately try and protect them with any means possible without even considering herself.

A decent cook, Estelle is wary around knifes from the time she almost took her thumb off when chopping vegetables for dinner. She is a night owl and not much of a morning person. She can be very OCD when it comes to certain things. Having never had a boyfriend or even kissed a member of the opposite sex before, she is painfully clueless about the romance world. She is also considered a book worm and is normally seen curled up in the common room in a corner with her nose stuck in a book.

The results of her quiet nature lead her to not having friends because of how shy and flustered she becomes around others. Generally, Estelle only ever talks if she is either spoken to or is answering a question in class. Other than that she stays quiet. However, just because she is not participating in the conversation, doesn't mean she isn't paying attention; rather, she is choosing to listen and learn.

History

Estelle was born on December 21 to Muggles Aiden and Willow Forrester. Growing up, Estelle was a quiet child and whenever odd things happened around her, her parents simply passed it off as nothing. They were very realistic people and were disgusted with anything pertaining to the supernatural. From the time she was small her parents knew there was something different about her but they didn't want to believe it and so brushed away what other people told them of strange things revolving around their daughter. It was after they moved into a new house when Estelle came to them one day when she was six and told them she wanted to sleep in their bed with them. They were confused since up until that point she had slept in her own bed just fine. They asked her why and she told them she was scared of her new room, that it had a scary feeling to it.

They told it was nothing and made her slept in there anyway. A few days later they woke up to a scream and hurried to Estelle's room. They found her curled in the corner. They asked her what was wrong and she she that the man in the closet scared her. Her father checked and found nothing there. They told her it was just a nightmare. After Estelle had told her father about the little boy that liked playing in the basement, he got so mad at her he yelled at her to stop making up stories and sent her to her room without supper. From then on Estelle learned to stop going to her parents and learned to deal with the things happening around her.

When her letter from Hogwarts arrived her parents couldn't believe it. Their daughter, a witch? It was preposterous. They threw the letter away and went about their lives. The letters kept coming and finally, a wizard finally showed up at their house. It was the last straw and while the wizard was able to persuade her parents to let her attend Hogwarts, at the end of every term when she went home they treated her like she wasn't even there.

Estelle loved Hogwarts, loved learning all about magic. As the years went by, Estelle discovered she was quite good at Potions. It was fun, almost like cooking. She was fair in History of Magic, somehow able to stay awake during the monotonous drone. She was average at Charms and Transfiguration. When she was able to take Care of Magical Creatures and Divination, she found she was rather good at those subjects as well. Defense Against The Dark Arts was the only subject she really didn't like. She was uncomfortable with the idea of hexing or cursing people even if it was to protect herself or others.

When she reached Fourth Year and discovered the Ghoul Studies class she was very interested. Maybe it would help her understand her medium power? She certainly hoped so and thus she decided to take the class and see what it could hold for her.

Salem

Salem is a rather intelligent feline. He can be very protective of Estelle. He tends to ignore everyone except Estelle and glares at anyone that gets close to his owner.

Other

~ Estelle is terrified of the dark, storms, or loud noises in general.
~ When she becomes nervous she has a habit of fidgeting with her hair or glasses.

[Saarebas]

(He is the one on one right... Please ignore the flames)
"I don't plan on being remembered as just a clumsy screw up."

Appearance
To call Anthony tall would be a grand understatement. He stands at a mind boggling ten feet eight inches and has a bulky body build, he is basically a walking talking wall. He has messy, deep oak brown hair and big dark chocolate eyes. He has tanned skin from spending long hours in the sun. Despite his more than intimidating stature Anthony usually has a large goofy grin on his face and a gleam of whimsy in his eyes.

Name
Anthony Seamus "Hammer" O'Hamerson, called Hammy by his friends

Age
17

Year
7th

House
Hufflepuff

Wand
Rather than a usual wand, they were far too small for Anthony to use properly and he was always paranoid that he would snap them, Anthony uses something that can only be described as a giant club. It is six feet long and four and a half feet in diameter, in all it resembles a crudely made baseball bat. At its base, where the knob of a baseball bat would be, is a carved rams head. Though it is unorthodox this "club" is still made from the same type materials. It is made from Elder wood, has a dragon heart string core, and is surprisingly flexible.

Personality
What would you expect from a towering, half-giant? A dimwit? A brute? A monster maybe?Well you would be as wrong as you could possibly get if you thought any of those. Anthony is probably one of the kindest, sweetest, and most thoughtful students in all of Hogwarts. He is basically a giant teddy bear, though a lot of students don't see that past his intimidating appearance. He puts other people's needs before his own all the time, being more than willing to be a shoulder to cry on or a ear to listen. He acts like a den mother to the Hufflepuffs, being the one that usually they come to when looking for advice or someone to confide in. There is almost no violent bone in Anthony's body, the only time he had ever used violence was in his second year when a Ravenclaw girl ended up too deep in the Forbidden Forest and cornered by a troll. Anthony managed to tackle the troll and knock the creature out with his club, honestly he felt horrible for having to do that. This story is what earned him the nickname Hammer, though most people just call him Hammy. What seems to shock people most is that Anthony is a rather brilliant at Herbology and is a excellent potion brewer, two things that require a very delicate touch.

History
Well Anthony's beginnings are a bit... different to say the least. For starters his father is the famous Magizoologist Aengus Cace O'Hamerson, the very same O'Hamerson who wrote The Wander's Guide To The Mystical World. If having such a well known father wasn't enough to give Anthony a interesting start in life then the fact that his mother is a giant definitely was. Yes the renowned Aengus O'Hamerson became romantically involved with a giantess from one of the giant tribes that he was studying at the time. Derlang, the name of the giantess O'Hamerson became very "familiar" with, gave birth to a half-breed child a few months after her encounter with the Magizoologist. Do to most giants' distain of "small" offspring the child would of surely been killed if left with the tribe, luckily O'Hamerson had the consciences and foresight to take his child to more hospitable environments. O'Hamerson and Derlang raised their child with the same kind of love and affection any parents would, they even named the kid Anthony after Aengus' own father. Anthony's childhood was everything he could ask for, he had a loving father who took him exploring all over the world in search of mystical creatures, tons of magical pets that he loved, and even a mother that could literally tear the roof off of buildings. Eventually Anthony got his invitation to Hogwarts, something he was looking forward to his whole life. He was sorted into the Hufflepuff and he has been the happiest mini giant ever since.

Patronus
Ukrainian Ironbelly Dragon
"They... they are really misunderstood creatures."

Pets
Patty
Anthony has a Great Grey Owl named Patty, she is a bit larger than average, but Anthony only loves her more for it.

A whole assortment of mystical creatures
Anthony's father is quite notorious for bringing his work home with him. Anthony grew up surrounded from everything from Flobberworms to Griffins. He still has a large number of pets back at his home, though they never come with him to school... most of the time.
