Google Stump was a very intelligent, but shy wizard. He died some time after 1700 and not much is known about his life. Other portraits have cryptically described him as “the man with answers”. There is also some speculation that he is related to the former Minister of Magic, Grogan Stump, however it hasn't been confirmed as Google Stump died before Grogan Stump was born.
Google Stump's portrait is hung in two different areas. In 1994, his portrait was spotted in the Tapestry Corridor. In 1995 his portrait was found in the Viaduct Entrance, hiding a secret passage to the first floor corridor. According to Google, he had been guarding the passage for many years and not one student has passed through. Even though he can be shy, Google won’t turn away someone who wants to befriend him. Next time you're passing by his portrait at the Viaduct Entrance, be sure to stop by and say hello. When socializing with Google, you will notice that he is not the most talkative of the portraits and has a tendency to stutter. Yet he is probably one of the best portraits to go to when seeking answers. Google is quite well-informed of the goings-on and secrets at Hogwarts. He may or may not help depending on how the topic is approached. Remember, he is timid, so do not start demanding answers angrily if you need his help.
