History of Magic Professor (From Term 65) & Hufflepuff Head of House

{ The Basics }

Place of Birth: Godshill, Isle of Wight, UK
Current Residence: Mould-on-the-Would, Cotswolds, UK

{ The Magic }

Heritage: Mixed (Muggleborn & Halfblood parentage)
Wand: 12 and three quarter, Applewood, Kelpie Hair
Patronus: Scarlet Macaw
Amortentia: The paper of old books, bananas and custard, sunflowers
Boggart: A collection of balloon animals

{ The Family }

Mother: Crowfilda Stephenotter
Father: Elvererry Stephenotter (d. 2101)
Children: None.
Pets: A (half dead) Fiddle Leaf Fig called Fergus

Born an only child to Crowfilda, a sensible Herbologist and Elvererry, an eccentric magical inventor known for his terrible attempts at ‘improving’ already existing inventions. In 2088 she married fellow historian Finneas Von Fergersnout, the couple never had any children of their own. On the 6th January 2101, both Finneas and her father Elvererry were killed in a freak accident whilst experimenting with magic. Although the accident was traumatic for Apollonia, she gained comfort in knowing they went doing what they loved most. She has remained happily alone ever since.

{ The Personality }

Personality Type: ENFP - The Campaigner
‘A free spirit - outgoing and open hearted with a healthy dose of imagination. Dedicated to enriching others lives.’
Strengths: Curious, enthusiastic, communicative, passionate, imaginative.
Weaknesses: Disorganised, overly optimistic, restless, kooky.
Likes: Historical re-enactments, amateur dramatics, world travel, calling students ridiculous nicknames, singing opera and musical theatre songs (badly) in the hallways.
Dislikes: Lists, rigidity and routine, lack of enthusiasm, people who say they hate history, frowning.
Quirks: Snorts whilst laughing, Has a fear of balloons, Collects dirt from every foreign location she’s been to.

To say Apollonia is a ~character~ would be an understatement. Passion aplenty, enthusiasm in abundance and with a vivid imagination to boot, her theatrical nature would not be out of place in Wonderland. Her desire to be involved however leaves her with the inability for organisation and it is likely she will change direction half way through her course. Apollonia isn’t particularly bothered by others opinions about her and would rather be unapologetically herself but it does mean that she rarely ever sits still. Students may find her singing (terribly) in the hallways or hear her bellowing laugh (complete with an unladylike snort) from within the office.

After graduation from university Apollonia continued in historical research travelling around the world studying magical artefacts.

Her most recent book is a colourful and engaging description of revered Witches & Wizards written especially for children. Upon returning from many years of travel, Apollonia worked at the Magical Archives preserving and researching historical artefacts through time. When the teaching position opened at Hogwarts, Apollonia jumped at the opportunity to engage and educate young minds on the wonders of history.
