Pushpa Patil

Backstory

My name is Pushpa Patil. Born on May 4th, 1980, I was a Muggle-born Gryffindor during the time of the Second Wizarding War. I was one of the longest Hatstalls in history; the hat took almost a full ten minutes to place me in Gryffindor, saying that my wide range of aptitudes made me a suitable candidate for all four Hogwarts Houses, especially Gryffindor and Slytherin.

A few months afterward, I was offered the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, as well as Head of House for Gryffindor, at Hogwarts, by none other than the now-headmistress Minerva McGonagall. I accepted gladly, enjoying my job immensely, and after a while, having bonded over our mutual grief, George Weasley, who had divorced his wife, Angelina Johnson, and I were married in 2000, having three children together: Fred Fabian Weasley, Jr., Nymphadora Tonks Weasley, and Lavender Minerva Weasley, of whom I could not be prouder.
