Okay I found a better pic for the Ghoul Studies Professor and as it seems she needs approval

MISS NIGHT

GHOUL STUDIES

PROFESSOR

Acantha Oxynte

(Afectionatly Known As
Miss Night)

AGE : 25 (But is actually much older)

CLASS : Ghoul Studies (This is an elective and takes place shortly after nightfall.)

SCHOOLING : (Primary) Koldovstoretz school of Witch Craft and Wizardry
(Specialized) Euro-Glyph School of Extraordinary Languages

Bio : Born somewhere in Greece around 1949 Acantha was what was known as a temple child because her mother was the Last High Priestess of Hecate and her father unknown. Conceived to be her mother's sucessor Acantha's destiny changed in a senseless attack which left her an Orphan and destroyed the temple she'd called home for her first nine years of life.

Raised by an Aunt who was barely related to her Acantha was and still is watched over by her mother's ghost and is the reason she is considered one of the Wizarding World's experts on Ghosts, Specters, Spirits and Poltergeist..

Arachne

She attended Koldovstoretz in Russia where she proved a quick learner but a problem because of her ability to call Ghosts to herself. Still even with all of Acantha's Spectral troubles she graduated in the upper 10% of her class and went on to study Euro-Glyph School of Extraordinary Languages in Paris France.

Also an expert maker of potions it is known by a few that Acantha has discovered a potion to slow aging or that is at least the suspicion which is why her actual age doesn't match her perceived age.

Sought out by the Death Eaters in the first war Acantha became their enemy for refusing to join them and actually aiding those against them. And in the lull between wars Acantha made friends with Minerva McGonagall who later asked her to become the former Ghouls teacher's replacement.

She has written 23 books on the various types of Ghosts, Specters and Poltergeist her most famous "The Fetters that Bind and The Dead have Feelings" she also has written 9 books on deciphering the texts of antiquity.

PERSONALITY : Acantha is in simple terms spooky many claiming they get a chill whenever she's near, this could be due to the fact that she is always accompanied by a Ghost or just nerves. She's most definitely a night person who's rarely seen out in daylight and when she is she wears dark glasses and a large hat.

Friendly unless angered Acantha can become a powerful foe who's mastery of spirit magic can summon an army of Ghosts to her aid.

Patient and thoughtful she genuinely enjoys teaching often helping her students in classes outside of her own.

WAND :

Willow

(neutral wood, the stronger the will, the more effective the spells.)

11 inches slender and flexible.
Core

Shred of Lethifold Cape

(Extremly Useful for Dark Arts and Stunning)

PATRONUS : A Huge Cerberus

HOBBIES : Writing, Training animals of various type (Most often Dogs or Wolves)

PET :

Jager

A Large snow white Irish Wolfhound who can rest his paws on Hagrid's shoulders and look him in the eyes

Ghoul Studies

Deep in the dungeons of Hogwarts is found the Serpentine Hall and the classroom of Ghoul Studies.

Serpentine Hall not properly part of the Dungeons but the entrance to the Catacombs but by Salazar Slytherin in the tenth century. The hall is home to some of Hogwarts most beautiful stonework and sculpted art. But like many such places it is a facade that hides behind it's beauty many secrets in the Catacombs of Hogwarts.

This lonely hall is the place quoted in the legend of horrors that the older students and siblings use to frighten and astound. It is haunted by ghosts which names are known to only other ghosts and of Course the Professor of Ghoul Studies Miss Oxyntes (Pronounced Ox y nite though some few students call her Miss Night)

The quiet Miss Night is almost never seen above ground in daylight and at night seen more outdoors except on rare occasions at Feasts or important school functions. When she speaks people must strain to hear her but she has demonstrated either an ability or spell that emits a scream equal to a Banshee's which she used to drive back a group of three direwolves that had wandered on campus.

Her quarters are off her classroom and were once an abandoned crypt built for one of the Heirs of Slytherin and are twice as spacious as those of the other professors. (The only draw back is no view.) The Ghoul Studies class is conducted in the catacombs themselves but has as it's actual classroom is a small amphitheater who's lectern sets recessed into a natural half dome of Large crystals. The students desks are spacious and even described as comfy and sit 3-6-12-28 on each level. Four seats are occupied permanently, 2 on the highest level with 1 each on levels 2 an 3. ( 1 Mummy and a Skeleton top level, 1 Ghoul on the third and a former student's ghost on the second level)

The Ghoul Studies class at present has only four registered students. (Aella Arcane 6th year Slytherin. Bella Sinclair 5th year Ravenclaw, 4th year Ravenclaw and Horace Uthur 166th year At Large former Gryffindor 7th year)

Class begins exactly two hours after dark or evening meal in the long nights of winter. Usually Miss Night tells her class the history of the area they'll visit that night or the legends of the ghosts they might encounter. Sometimes though Miss Night's mother teaches a course called Practical Questions and Answers. No one is sure what Miss night does on those night's which she doesn't appear to teach.

Once a month Miss Night locks the students in a catacomb section where Peeves is allowed to play with them anyway he wishes so long as they are not harmed. ( Feel free to try magic on Peeves but be warned that he's resisted many attempts to expel him and a couple of those that tried had to leave the school shortly afterwards.)

"SHE'S SO AMAZING"

@Tip
My Teacher CS

[Asuu]

@Tip

Name: Uhtar. Just goes by Uhtar.

Age: 42

Position: Charm's Professor.

House: Head of Hufflepuff.

Short bio: Not much is known about the quarter-giant. It is known that he was born into a travelling band of giants, but due to his quarter-giant heritage, he was kicked out of his family and into the wilderness. There, he found a wandering wizard, and became the man's apprentice, learning about Charms and other branches of magic - with Charms being his favorite, and eventually, his best. When the old man died, he was lost, until the Headmaster of Hogwarts found him. A quick interview and heart-to-heart happened, and the Headmaster began to refine the quarter-giant's already masterful skills in Charms. Once he turned 35, Uhtar was given the position in the staff of Hogwarts, as a teacher, and the Head of Hufflepuff.

Personality: He is much like a bear; hearty and cheerful, Uhtar is a firm believer in friendship, loyalty, and hard-work, the reasons why he is the Head of Hufflepuff. He will not, at all, stand bullying, and will protect any of his young badgers, or any of the other students in the other Houses. Due to his height of at least 8 feet, Uhtar can seem intimidating, but the kind glint in his eyes and his jolly grin usually throws away any intimidation. When his students are in trouble, he will become serious and dangerous, his charm-work being second to none. Not to mention, one swing with his battle-staff can probably break stone.

Wand: His wand is an oddity - it's official term being a 'battle-staff', due to it's reminiscence to a large tree branch, around the same size as a child, if not bigger. It's wood is made of an unknown tree from where he grew up. At the top of the staff, it's 'core' is a glowing, warm yellow sphere.

Hobbies: Traversing the halls, teaching charms, training his own charm-usage, and drinking Butter Beer.

Pets: N/A

Personal possessions: N/A

Patronus: Grizzly Bear.

Relationships: N/A

NPCs: N/A

Why am I awesome?

'Cause.

[Tatsua Aiisen]

If you're using a Lethifold Wand, you probably wouldn't be able to cast a Patronus Charm. Which is a big deal for somebody who is a ghost expert.

... Also, those are not the qualities of Willow. I'm pretty sure Willow is supposed to be good at Charms.

@CiphraAnyone who wasn't posted in the character tab at the time I was working on the class list is not in the class list.

[TheHangedMan]

[ScarlettWaters16]

@Ciphra Oh... sorry. I'm really tired. We had to get up early today, so I kinda took that the wrong way.
