Francis Aaronax, Charms Professor, Deputy Headmaster, and Headmaster at Beauxbatons
By Raleen
Francis Aaronax was born in Paris, Fance to a muggle mother and father. He was a lad of good nature, spirited, I might add, but wouldn't hurt a fly. He recieved taunting while at school but was a terrific student in both Charms and Herbology. As he grew older he realized that his occupation of choice would be to teach.
In 1886, at the age of twenty, Mr. Aaronax applied for a job as the Charms teacher and was there on after refered to as Proffeser Aaronax. While he tought in spiritited lectures and all of his students loved him he was shunned by all of his fellow Professors for being a mudblood. They were certain that he could never be as good of a proffeser as they were because of this. He once said, "You shouldn't be the one talking because unlike you I am not hindered to see only the bad things about the person, instead of the good." He was, in fact the best professor at the school. The headmaster saw this and in 1896 made him an offer that he couldn't refuse, he was to be made deputy headmaster of Beauxbatons Academy.
While he was deputy headmaster one of his jobs was to keep the students out of trouble and to keep them from fighting. He realized that a group of 15 young boys and girls were always the ones that were teased, and coincidently were mudbloods too. He then asked the headmaster if he could create an organization for mudbloods to show how good they realy were. He there after created the 'Organization for Students of Non Wizarding Families' or the OSNWF. Then every Saturday they met and helped make the school a better place. Under Professor Aaronax's supervision hardly a quarrel broke out.
Professor Aaronax taught for 42 years before his final achievement, at the age of 62, though he looked 50 and felt 40, he became headmaster. He was a great headmaster, and made many great accomplishments, all of which I cannot name. In 1951, at the age of 85, he was forced to retire, because he was geting too old to carry out the job. There is a plaque to honor him in the courtyard, and he will always be remembered as a great headmaster.

Edwardo Cambiamento, Transfiguration Professor
By SpinningJ
When Hogwarts opened, all of the founders helped select teachers. Salzar Slytherin knew the perfect teacher for Transfigurations. Edwardo Cambiamento was the perfect person for the job, at least according to Salzar Slytherin. You see, Edwardo could trace his pureblood wizard ancestry for 12 generations.

As teens, Edwardo and Salzar would practice magic together. Edwardo was particularly good at transfigurations, and was an animagus. He could take on the form of a snake. This proved to be quite useful when the boys would play practical jokes on unsuspecting Muggles. Since Salzar could speak parselmouth, he would direct his friend to do something, and the Muggles would run in fear. The boys found this quite amusing.

Edwardo was a strict teacher. His exams were grueling. Even beginning students were expected to perform basic transformations. Final exams included multiple transfigurations of objects. Edwardo encouraged the students to learn about human transformations. Students who did not meet expectations were transfigured into a variety of animals. Later, this was forbidden as a punishment for students.

Martkins Charmontis, Charms Professor at Hogwarts
By HPandLOTR_lover
In the year 1497 a well-respected man by the name of Martkins Charmontis taught charms at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This teacher was a kind, jolly fellow with the love for teaching. He got his kids involved a lot in class with tons of hands-on, or wands-out, activities. He would always have a 'charm of the day' in which he would write a paragraph about and make the words come out of things or project onto objects. In fact, his teaching method worked so well that even the muggles use the 'charm of the day' technique but instead they have what they like to call a 'quote of the day.' Professor Charmontis died after many years of teaching at Hogwarts and is still respected to this very day.

By Rachel_Granger

A teacher of Astronomy. Farnett continued privately observing the stars until she knew everything there was to know about them. Seeking a school where students shared her passion, she began working at Durmstrang. Dissapointed with the influence of Dark Arts on the students, she left.

Kiera Firsten, Muggle Studies Professor at Durmstrang and Caretaker at Hogwarts
By Adrienne
Kiera Firsten was born in March of 1910. She grew up in Hogsmeade and often visited her father at Hogwarts, where he taught Transfiguration. She was originally going to be educated at Hogwarts, but when her father died in October of 1920, she was taken in by her aunt and uncle, who lived closer to Durmstrang than Hogwarts, so she was sent there for her seven years of required magical education. Her best subjects were Defense Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration, and after Hogwarts, she took a job as an auror. She was in the group of twelve people who initially ended Grindelwald's reign of terror.

When she was permanently wounded in 1957 from a fight in the Leaky Cauldron that ended in four wizards being sent to a local Muggle prison, she was advised to settle down and take a teaching job like her father. She traveled back up to Durmstrang and took a temporary job of Transfiguration teaching while the real teacher healed from a hippogriff stampede he had been caught in.

In 1959, Firsten was out of work again as the old teacher had fully healed and wanted their job back. She traveled back to Muggle London and took up jobs advertised in Muggle papers, but never stayed at any one for very long. Wanting a more exciting occupation, she went back to Durmstrang in 1962 and took up the title of Muggle Studies Professor and became Slytherin's Head of House. She taught the same subject from then until 1977, when her aunt and uncle died in a fire that took over part of their town.

She went to Hogwarts and became the caretaker after Appollyon Pringle retired in 1980. She kept this job until 1983, when she died during a Death Eater reunion that she had stumbled into by accident. Argus Filch took her place as caretaker at Hogwarts in June of 1984.

Professor Flage, DAJA Professor at Durmstrang
By Cho Chang
Miss Flage taught: 1986-2002.

Miss Flage would probably be Fred and George's favourite teacher. She delights in practical jokes and teaches DAJA (Defence Against the Joking Arts) and does she teach it well? Yes! She often places non-permanent Sticky rubber latex on her students seats then calls them up to the front of the class, watching their chairs stick to them as they try to waddle up to the front desk.

Her sense of humour is much like Fred and George's as well (she was in Gryffindor). It was her who invented the collapsible chair; whenever a student sat on it, it would collapse and leave a soft cushion for them to land on.

She is registered animangus number 7, and she can morph in to a wolf.

She wares huge purple glasses, has gigantic orange hair and always wears a smile! (so you can hardly avoid laughing at her!)

She works at Durmstrang as a foreign DAJA teacher, to teach French pupils about English tricks....

Crystal Foschia, Divination Professor at Hogwarts
By SpinningJ
Crystal was a willowy woman, with long flowing red hair and brilliant violet eyes. She typically wore body hugging black clothing with sheer, translucent, flowing robes.

Crystal Foschia came from a long line of 'seers.' Her grandmother taught her about Tarot Cards, and she would spend hours watching her grandmother give readings. Her mother was an expert reading tea leaves. Crystal was naturally gifted for seeing the future.

Professor Foschia started teaching at Hogwarts in 1692. She taught the students all the standard methods of prediction, reading tea leaves, Astrology and Crystal Ball gazing. Her favorite subject, however, was Tarot Cards. She was able to read for her students and direct them into careers best suited to them.

After teaching at Hogwarts for 35 years, Professor Foschia decided to leave teaching and pursue professional work in her field. She opened a small shop where she gave private lessons and tarot readings. She also sold books, crystal balls, tarot cards and other tools for predicting the future. She was soon well-known for her accuracy in predicting important events.

Daniel Galistotle, Arithmancy Professor at Hogwarts
By SpinningJ
Daniel Galistotle started teaching Arithmancy at Hogwarts in 1935. He wasmiddle aged and balding, an ordinary looking man. Although he was brilliant in his field, he was often seen with his robes askew and his hair mussed. He might have been described as "scruffy looking."

In spite of his rather comical appearance, Professor Galistotle was an outstanding teacher. He had a gift of sharing his knowledge. When Albus Dumbledore began teaching in 1942, the two became fast friends. Both were invigorated by their students.

Frequently, Professor Galistotle's office was filled with students. They lovingly called him "Mean Dan" among themselves. He was a demanding instructor, but had a way of inspiring students to work hard. Under his instruction, students learned the 10 fundamental oppositions and Numbers of Destiny. They learned to create yantras. Seeking answers to the world's puzzles was a great challenge for Galistotle.

As he grew older, Galistotle became more interested in research and began to distance himself from others. This saddened many students, as he was a beloved teacher. He resigned his position at Hogwarts in 1965 to pursue his research.

When Voldemort rose to power, Galistotle secluded himself further. He said that the numbers predicted this, but as it was destiny, it could not be changed. Dumbledore tried to persuade him to help fight the Dark Wizards, that his skills in reading the numbers would aid in the battle, but even his closest friend could not convince him to leave his secluded life. Galistotle continues to lead a life away from the public, pondering the great works in his field.

Matthew Gutekunst, Charms Professor at Hogwarts
By Divine
Professor Matthew Gutekunst was a very extraordinary teacher indeed. He was born July 14, 1891. His mother had died when she gave birth to him. Ever since then his father was a lonely, disagreeable old man. Matthew, or Matt, grew up keeping to himself and he also became another lonely, disagreeable young man.

When Matt was around 20, he was left on his own with no where to go. But then a miracle happened; Proffesor Dippet, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, offered him a job. Matt gratefully accepted the job as the Charms professor.

He kept this career for 15 years, then, something horrible happened. During the school year, while Gutekunst was searching for unicorn blood in the Dark Forest, a hooded creature, swooped down on him. That creature was really the most powerful wizard of the time--Grindelwald. Grindelwald killed Gutekunst, but still today his ghost floats free in the Dark Forest, searching for Grindelwald, and wanting revenge.

Peethtead Matnitlew, DATDA Professor at Hogwarts
By Pheonix Gurl
Professor Peethtead Matnitlew was born on December 13, 1913 and died on January 11, 1988. He taught Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for 52 years.

He had three children, one a girl and two boys named Elliene Matnitlew, Comper Matnitlew, and Duenland Matnitlew. He also left his wife, Paroline Adicott Matnitlew. He did work for the Ministry of Magic in the Magical Creatures Department for 2 years until he was fired for accidentallly setting a dragon on fire. He tried to calm down the dragon from bursting out fire when he accidentally made it blow out fire onto itself which made it get catch on fire and die from the burns. He put an ad in the Daily Prophet that he needed a job when the current headmaster of Hogwarts let him in because the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher left without notice.

He became head of Slytherin House and hated his kids that were in his house. He really loved the Hufflepuff kids but was afraid to show it so he gave the Hufflepuffs extra detentions. When the Chamber of Secrets was opened in the 1950's he was in a total shock. He just couldn't believe that his own house could make such a mean way of getting back to Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Helga Hufflepuff. But after they thought they caught the culprit he went on to being himself again.

One day he was out in the woods and a werewolf came out and bit him on the arm. He was in total pain. In the mid 70's a new professor came in that went by Professor Snape. Professor Snape helped him through his werewolf madness. At the time Professor Snape and Professor Matnitlew was the only people who knew about him being a werewolf.

One day he went ou t into the woods when he was still in his werewolf shape trying to keep away from people. He saw a bag labled Remus Lupin then he saw a man sitting on the ground. He thought, "Bite, I need to take a bite!" and went straight toward the man and took a bite out of this arm and left as quick as he could. He went back to school acting as if nothing had ever happened. Then on January 11, 1988 he was teaching not expecting anything out of the ordinary to happen. Then at 11:21 am He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named came straight through his door and cast a spell that killed him along with all of the students he was teaching at that time. When he died Professor Snape took the title of Head of Slytherin house.

Marvin Murtous, Professor at Beauxbatons
By OliverWoodFan
Professor Marvin Murtous has been known as the most abnormal teacher to have ever taught at Beauxbatons. He taught in the early 1200’s, no one more bizarre has taught there since. He often received odd looks from fellow teachers and students for having the most absurd appearance. He wore bright colored robes which he made himself. One that all his students remembered him wearing is a lime green one. It had purple stars and orange polka dots scattered all over it. And if you think that’s weird, he would bewitch his robes to make them light up when a student answered a question correctly. Quite contrasting to the typical pointed wizard’s hat, he would wear a rainbow-striped touque.

Besides his strange appearance, people criticized his thoughts. He came up with some peculiar ideas, but some were quite ingenious. In the times before the Triwizard Tournament was established, about 750 years ago, he came up with the way to select the school champions. They needed the impartial judge, so he thought, "Why don’t we put the names of everyone into a goblet that has fire coming out of it? It would shoot out the names it chooses as worthy of competing." Now, at the time he said that, you’ll have to admit that it would sound like a pretty crazy idea. It was that suggestion which made the staff file a complaint and have him fired because he was too eccentric. Unfortunately, he passed away a few years before they realized that his idea was really good, and put it to use.

Professor Schniklehiemer, Potions Professor at Durmstrang
By Bailey Porter
Professor Schniklehiemer was a very influential teacher, especially considering that the first semester of every year she failed half the class. Yes that's right, she just picked one side of the class and failed them. She taught Potions at Durmstrang from May 9th, 1663 to April 4th 1990. Professor Schniklehiemer had a very bad reputation with the students and other teachers, considering that she was married sixty-seven times, thirty of which she married a student and performed the service by herself. In 1935, she disappeared and was not found until fifteen years later. It turns out, while demonstrating how to make a Shrinking Solution she got carried away and drank the potion! Unfortunately, the potion was made correctly and she shrank until she almost disappeared. The headmaster finally realized what happened and was able to track her down. Professor Schinklehiemer met her fate at the ripe age of 365 due to a nasty encounter with a troll.
