[b]Full Name:[/b] Draven Eldridge [b]Age:[/b] 37 [b]Blood:[/b] Half-Blood [b]Alignment:[/b] Neutral [b]House:[/b] Ravenclaw Alumni [b]Personality:[/b] Draven is, above all else, a quiet and secluded man. He has the ability to talk to others, but he chooses not to a lot of the time, as he prefers to be alone and left to his own devices when he’s not teaching. When he is teaching, it’s hard to believe he is as quiet of a man as he is, because he is confident and outspoken. He has also been described as a strict teacher, but there haven’t been very many bad reviews on his teaching methods. Draven has always been interested in learning and passing on his knowledge, which is what drew him to teaching at Hogwarts in his favorite subject. Of course, Draven is not without flaws; his quietness gives people the wrong impression and can cause others to avoid him and think he is a rude individual. He has dedicated so much time to study and strengthening his brain that he has neglected his social life and physical exercise, making him physically weak. [b]Bio\History:[/b] Draven was born to a Muggle mother and Wizard father. His mother worked as nurse, and his father worked for the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Mysteries. Draven was raised knowing both worlds. He would take trips to Diagon Alley and Quidditch games with his father and attended Muggle schools until the age of eleven when he got his Hogwarts letter. After that, his parents made arrangements to make it look as though he were going off to some sort of Boarding school and he was off to Hogwarts after getting his school things in Diagon Alley. After that, Draven attended Hogwarts, was sorted into Ravenclaw (his father was in Slytheirn), and devoted most of his time to this studies. When the Battle of Hogwarts took place, Draven was only thirteen and was therefore escorted from the school for his own protection. When the war was over, Draven continued his studies at school. When his Fifth Year came around, he decided to pursue a career in wandmaking and so when he graduated went to work at Ollivander’s, collecting cores for wands and making some under the careful eye of the elderly wand master. He worked there for four years before he grew tired of the work; it wasn’t that he disliked it, he just needed a change of environment. For a change, Draven decided to apply for the job of Defense Against The Dark Arts Professor. The Headmaster was satisfied with his previous school work and decided to hire him. Draven has now been teaching at Hogwarts for sixteen years and has been made the Head of Ravenclaw House.
