GMNPC<br/><strong>Name:</strong>Minerva McGonagall<br/><strong>Age:</strong>83<br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'9"<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>140lbs<br/><strong>Eye color:</strong>Green<br/><strong>Hair Color:</strong>Black (once) now grey<br/><strong>House:</strong>Gryffindor<br/><strong>Wand:</strong>9½", Fir, dragon heartstring<br/><strong>Patronus:</strong>Cat<br/><strong>Job:</strong>Headmistress<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Minerva almost constantly exuded magnanimity and sternness and was held in great respect (and some fear) by nearly all students and staff. Used to having her way, she tolerated neither audacity nor silliness from her pupils and was known to turn cold towards people who said or did things in front of her that were stupid, or if she thought they were trying to be funny. Despite her strict demeanour, however, Minerva did exhibit a dry sense of humour which usually came out when times were tough. She was also a woman who rarely smiled or gave compliments freely.<br/><br/>True to Gryffindor, she valued bravery and loyalty highly, thinking cowardice a heavy flaw. Despite her loyalty to her house, though, and a fair-minded person, McGonagall was known for docking points from students in her own House when she saw it must be done so.<br/><br/>Minerva was not afraid to speak her mind and showed quite a sharp tongue, especially during arguments. For the most part, though, she usually maintained great emotional composure, without being indifferent. Although she was not always particularly personable, she was a huge supporter of Harry Potter and trusted the likes of Dumbledore, Sprout, Flitwick, Pomfrey, and Hagrid. She could be very warm and supportive during times of trouble or loss and cared a great deal about her students, both personally and academically.<br/><br/>As the devoted instructor of Transfiguration classes, Professor McGonagall highly respected the specific branch of magic, and considered it to be more complex and sophisticated than all others, though she respected most others just as much; she became an Animagus to further her study in the magic. On the other hand, she has very little patience with Divination, due to its impreciseness and rarity of true Seers.<br/><br/>As well as this, she has a temper that can reveal itself on occasions when she is angrily flustered all and all, McGonagall earned a great deal of admiration from her peers and students. During the Second Wizarding War, McGonagall fought the Death Eaters and protected her students, proving her bravery.<br/><br/>Minerva is also known to have a very severe dislike and hatred of those who abuse power, such as her making an enemy of Dolores Umbridge.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>(http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/harrypotter/images/f/f9/PromoHP1_Minerva_McGonagall_2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150810173547)<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Professor Minerva McGonagall, O.M. (First Class), (b. 4 October, 1935) was a half-blood witch, the only daughter of Muggle Robert McGonagall and witch Isobel Ross. She was a registered Animagus who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1947-1954 and was Sorted into Gryffindor House (but it took the sorting hat 5 ½ minutes to decide if she was Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, therefore making her a hatstall) . After her education, she worked for two years at the Ministry of Magic and later returned to Hogwarts, where she became Head of Gryffindor House, Transfiguration professor and concurrently, at differing times, Deputy Headmistress and Headmistress of Hogwarts.<br/><br/>McGonagall was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix. In 1995, she opposed Dolores Umbridge, the High Inquisitor of Hogwarts. She also protected the students from Alecto and Amycus Carrow from 1997 until 1998, and as part of this resistance movement, fought in several battles of both wars, including the Battle of the Astronomy Tower and the Battle of Hogwarts (where she led the resistance against Lord Voldemort).<br/><br/>She survived the Second Wizarding War and continued her job as Headmistress, a title she still holds as of Albus Potter's time at Hogwarts.
