Compassionate astronomer, stargazer, and diviner of the galaxies, Marion Burbage had been retired quite some time prior to her arrival at Hogwarts which she only did as a favour to her husband, who happens to be colleagues with the then Headmistress Truebridge's father. While she still enjoyed going out and about and gazing up at the skies, Marion has not been working since she and her husband, Henry, moved out to their little English cottage in the country once their children had grown and left the nest.

Even now as a ghost, Marion has a gentle style of teaching and making Astronomy understandable to the masses, which could be a result of forgetting the finer details of her subject over the course of her years in retirement and emotional distress in becoming a ghost. In her earlier years, though, Marion taught at Wizarding universities across the globe, hosted professional development conferences, presented academic research, and, when she was fresh out of university, studied extensively with several reclusive centaur herds across Europe. She is an expert in her field even if she might seem absent-minded at times.
