ALAZANDER ARCHIMEDES ACCLESTON
*
perpeptually 37
years old, Dr. Accleston Professor of Muggle Studies
represented Ravenclaw as Alumni and Head of House, bearing a 11 & 1/4 inches,made of reed, rigid, core of jobberknoll down wand
Tall and lanky with brown hair kept long and a clean shaven face. He has intense grey eyes that always seem to be searching for more. Alazander favors wearing tweed and sports jackets accompanied with a bowtie because he thinks they are "cool" and converse lowtops that match his tie. He has also been known to sport a fez when the whim strikes.He also has a rather fat tortoise shell house cat named Alonzi
Alazander is a quick tempered but compassionate man, whose youthful appearances seems at odds with his more discerning and world weary temperment. He Acts quickly, but never without thought. He portrays himself as supperior to most and uses the exscuse that he is clever to get away with it. Alazander does not love easily, but he will give endlessly.
Muggles fascinate Alazander endlessly, their quirks and habits and how the get by without magic, or even better how they reproduce it so efficently. Their simple lives and the thirst for knowledge. Where other wizards frown at muggles and see them as sub-par, Alazander holds them in high regard.
Alazander was born a pureblood in a very old wizarding family that claimed they could trace their roots all the way back to Salazaar Slytherin. When he was of age himself to attend Hogwarts, instead of being sorted into Slytherin as almost his whole family before him, he was sorted into Ravenclaw where he thrived spending time with older housemates debating subjects such as magical theory and proper application.
Alazander graduated from Hogwarts at seventeen, not really excelling in anything just making it by, always acting bored and disinterested in classes with his professors telling him he could do great and they see his potential and he should put himself into it. Alazander just scoffed and skated by on barely passing grades as he refused to follow the typical Ravenclaw stigma, even with his ability to do the work and knowledge of magic, He simply wouldn't doing anything more then absolutely needed.
After he graduated Alazander decided to, instead of getting a job with the ministry or getting married, that he would just travel. He ended up leaving the magical community behind for a few years living with and as a muggle. he even attended their universities. He received his muggle PhD in social sciences.
After his worldly travels, Alazander decided he would return not just to the wizarding world but that he wanted to teach the young about muggles and how contrary the old perceptions of them actually are. With the retirement of the former muggle studies professor he submitted his own application and resume for the position.He has now been teaching Muggle studies for the past four year and just within the last year was promoted to head of ravenclaw house with the passing of the former Head of House due to a heart attack. Since he has started teaching Muggle studies more students seem to be participating and not for just an easy Credit but to learn. If Alazander had it his way the statue of secrecy would be absolved and muggle and wizard would live together in fellowship, helping each other out.
