Full History:
Celeste was born the only of Cordelia and Edward Montgomery and coming from a long line of Gryffindors. She lived in Scotland growing up, attending Hogwarts once she turned 11. The family moved to Portugal her final years though she couldn't give up her place in the lion house so she made the extra trip. A good thing, given she fell in love with the love of her life her sixth year, his seventh, and she could never look back.
They took a year off after she graduated Hogwarts so they could travel a bit before getting married, starting university and adopting a five year old orphan all in the same year. Gideon, their second son was a surprise that arrived Christmas morning 2060, slowing her schooling down but never stopping it. Finally she graduated and threw herself into family life full time.
Celeste had planned to ease her way into the work force as Gideon grew up, guest lecturing at WU, but she had been sidelined when Andy's birth father had kidnapped her and Gideon when the boy was six nearly killing the woman. It was as she was recovering that the opportunity to teach had been placed in her lap and the rest is history.
Her kids are all grown now with at least one grandchild to speak of and the house an empty nest with Damien. She is quite enjoying teaching young minds and being around kids once more. With two terms under her belt and no longer the newest staff member, Celeste has been asked to take over the library as well. Something this bibliophile is jumping into with relish.
Education:
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft of Wizardry: 2051-2058
Wizarding University: 2059-2064
After University:
Celeste took some time off after graduating to raise her sons with the occasional guest lecturer spot, before recovering from an attack when Gideon was 6. Then a family connection offered her an adjunct position at the Wizarding University branch in Edinburgh that eased her way into teaching. She worked her way to being a full professor, teaching university students the field she loved. Feeling a need for a change of scenery but not quite ready to retire, she jumped at the chance to teach at Hogwarts. The hallowed halls she and her family always attended and where her great aunt even taught.
