Reynard Bontecou

Reynard "Pepe" Bontecou

SnitchSeeker School RPG

Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw
Date of Birth: January 31, 2036 (age 30 for start of term 20)
Years attended Hogwarts: 2047-2054 (start Term 1 and end Term 7: Draught of Ephemera)
Current Hogwarts Staff Position: Headmaster (2067-present)
Previous Staff Position: Potions Master (2066-2068)
Previous Occupation: Auror
Blood status: Halfblood (pureblood father, muggle mother)

Rey is a jack-of-all trades, which came in very handy with his undercover work as an auror. He enjoys kids and is still a bit of a kid at heart himself and so he decided to apply for the newly opened position of Potions Master as a break from auror work which has become lonely and not quite as exciting as it used to be for him. However, that is just his cover story as he has actually taken on the persona of a Hogwarts staffer as an undercover auror awaiting the next Voldemortist attack on the school. He excels in nearly everything he puts his mind to and has a particular fondness for muggle science fiction.

Rey, also known as Pepe to his closest friends, is the epitome of nerd-dom. He is average height, very lanky, and has a genius-level IQ. He has slightly curly brown hair and brown eyes behind black, 50s style, glasses. He was raised by his muggle mother after his wizard father died when Rey was four and he was accepted in Ravenclaw house when he arrived at Hogwarts after nearly finishing muggle school at only 11 years old. It took him nearly two years to be able to find his way to and from his classes, the library, and the great hall from his common room and he still has a horrible sense of direction when indoors.

During his time at Hogwarts Pepe has attempted to get to know every woman on staff. Something that can't be mentioned on SS is that though he is quite fond of nudie magazines, both muggle and witch and he has no desire to get into a serious relationship, Pepe does respect women and is very considerate of their feelings.

Unfortunately, his fondness for a certain ancient runes professor has placed his life in jeopardy. Either he will succumb to his wounds or he will face living with lycanthropy for the rest of whatever life is left to him...

Doyle Branxton

Doyle Branxton
SnitchSeeker School RP
Underneath the Hourglass (SS)
Unavowed Aspirations (SS/TDS)

Born: March 8, 2018
At Hogwarts: 2029- 2036 (Slytherin prefect & Head Boy)
Began teaching: 2056
Taught: Potions (2056-2061, 2065-2066), Charms (2062-2065)
Other Positions: Slytherin HoH (2057-2060), Deputy HM (2063-2065), Cooper's School HM (2065-2066)
Previous Occupation: Unspeakable
Significant Other: Cassandra Rae (2058-present)
Children: Sophia & Genevieve (June 2, 2061), Marcus Orion (Summer 2066)


General Physical Appearance: Doyle is six feet tall with salt n pepper, clean-cut hair, and blue eyes. A pureblood wizard, he prefers to dress in 'proper' wizard attire at all times. On the rare occassion he is without his robes, he can be found wearing a clean-cut, black, suit which is tailored (not purposely) to fit his attractive, medium, build. He is light-skinned but not pale. He also wears a stylish pair of glasses, giving him a look to match his intelligence.

Personality & History: A former employee for the Ministry of Magic (Department of Mysteries), the reason for his departure is as closely kept a secret as what he did while working in the depths of the Ministry. He spent the last two years travelling and has come back to Hogwarts to teach (will fill in why/how after I plot with Erin - see below) Doyle doesn't speak much about himself, or in general, so most of his background remains unknown. He was Slytherin Prefect and eventually became Head Boy while at Hogwarts. His professors regarded him as a very intelligent young wizard with great potential. He excelled in potions, charms, and transfiguration, though he did well in all of his classes, receiving outstanding marks in all of his NEWTs. This quiet professor is completely disinterested in the personal dramas his colleagues seem to find themselves in and mostly keeps to himself, preferring to blend into the background.

Oh, I just remembered that I had talked to Erin about Branxton because I had written in his bio that he'd taken two years for travelling in between leaving his Ministry job and coming to teach at Hogwarts. I was trying to figure out what he was doing for two years and supposed that he was still working for the Ministry, scouting out new possible locations to hide the BoM. He's here at Hogwarts as a legitimate teacher but, with an alterior motive: he's looking for and protecting the BoM. Unlike the previous ministry people, he has no interest in the day-to-day business of Hogwarts that doesn't immediately concern his teaching.

This is all hush hush and only Rae knows anything about what Branxton is really here for. He genuinely cares about the students which is why Rae still hired him (yes, he went through the process of applying and interviewing to get the job). I'm guessing that he was involved with studying ancient and dark magic in the Dept. of Mysteries.

Since becoming a Professor: As most of you know Doyle married Rae in between two terms (will look up date later) and they had twin girls Sophia and Genevieve a term later (term 14?, I think, againwill look up date later). He was still working for the Ministry during the time he was here. He left Hogwarts after the twins were born at the request of the Ministry to continue his work there in the Dept of Mysteries. This past term (15, I think) he received a promotion and thought he might be able to spend more time with his family. That didn't seem to be the case so he came back to Hogwarts to fill the open Charms position. While he still works for the Ministry and maintains his promotion, he is taking a a furlough to teach once again, continuing his studies on the side.

Kris Airlia

Kris Airlia, a pureblood witch, was sorted into Ravenclaw at age eleven. She attended Hogwarts at the same time as the father of the famous Harry Potter. One of the most intelligent students in her year, she excelled in potions and charms. When she finished her education at Hogwarts, she became a healer at St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies.

Although she wasn’t involved in the first fight against the Dark Lord Voldemort, she was inducted into the Order of the Phoenix after his return to power. During this second war, Airlia played a crucial role for the Order, working closely with Severus Snape, to brew complex potions to aid the other members in their duties. Airlia and Snape developed a close relationship during their long hours together, eventually leading to his proposal. However, before the couple could tie the knot, the Dark Lord Voldemort discovered that his Death Eater, Snape, was in fact a traitor and a spy for Dumbledore.

A duel ensued, Snape was wounded, and as Voldemort raised his wand and incanted the Killing Curse, Airlia leapt in front of him. She died instantly and Snape was able to escape with his life. Unable to bear being parted from him, Airlia remained as a ghost, haunting Snape to the end of his days. After his passing, she could be found haunting his gravesite. She returned to Hogwarts as Potions Master and Ravenclaw House Ghost at the request of the late Headmistress Loryen last term. She will be continuing her stint as Potions Master however, she will no longer be House Ghost for Ravenclaw. Instead, Headmaster Hendrik has appointed her Head of Slytherin House.

Sophie Melita

"Other Character"

Date of Birth: 13 February 2027
Hogwarts House: Slytherin (2038-2045)
Occupations: preschool teacher, unspeakable, potions master @ Hogwarts (2055-2056, 2065-2066)

Sophie Melita went to work in the Department of Mysteries after leaving Hogwarts with outstanding NEWTs. After substitute teaching at Hogwarts under Miss Leiden's regime, she decided she enjoyed teaching so much that she left the Ministry for a while to teach preschoolers. She came back to Hogwarts during the Ministry's attempt to split the school into a boys' and a girls' school.

Sophie has an unnatural fondness for cookies. She has created her own special recipe which has a tendency to give those who ingest them a vague sense of euphoria, lifting their mood and making them more congenial. Unfortunately, this secret ingredient seems to have some side effects on Bertie Borr's constitution. Perhaps he is lactose intolerant.
