Hello there, my name is Haymitch Aguillard but you can call me just Haymitch. i'm forty-seven so that makes me a professor year at Hogwarts, where I reside in former Gryffindor house. You could say I'm brave, daring, & chivalrous but I personally think that I am sarcastic, narcissistic, intelligent. People say I look a lot like Robert Downey Jr., but I don't really see it...

overall personality:
One would describe me as narcissistic, conceited, careless. that's all very true. I am a very conceited human being. I look out mainly for just myself. I am a lone wolf. However, I am a people person. Usually. I enjoy the company of others, especially intelligent people. I enjoy a good intelligent conversation. I value my smart, overachieving students. I do not value my lazy, messy ones. I love my job, I love teaching. Probably something you wouldn't expect, eh? I'm very sarcastic. I will normally write anyone off who I do not think is worth a moment of my time. I find humor in things others don't, and therefore many believe me to be cruel. I do not give two flying banshees what anyone thinks of me. My opinion really is the only one that matters because I just know more than everyone else. I have achieved more than many others will their entire life and I am positive I could beat anyone in any sort of duel, logical or magical.
Now that's not to say that I am some heartless bastard. I do like my Slug Club students. They have proven that they are worthy of my attention and time. I will do anything for those students that I see need it and are actually trying. Waste my time and I will not waste yours in return, I can assure you that. But aside from my Slugs, I keep do keep to myself. I haven't got any "special" person in my life and to be honest, I don't feel like I have the time. I am dedicated to education and students. I don't necessarily have the desire to settle down or meet a woman right now, really. Now that isn't to say that it won't happen one day... but, right now I am just not open to... love. But I am open to whatever life throws at me. I greet all of life's challenges with open arms and a determined persona.

personal history
mother:
Ophelia Aguillard, 107, healer, former Gryffindor.
father:
Pierre Aguillard, 110, potioneer, former Gryffindor.
siblings:
none.
pets:
a black northern-hawk owl named Jacque.
history:
Pierre Aguillard was in his seventh year when he met the beautiful fourth year, Ophelia Blackwood. Ophelia was smitten the moment she spoke to Pierre when he approached her one day in the Gryffindor common room. Pierre was French and handsome, and Ophelia was English and beautiful. While she was a great deal younger than Pierre, he swore he would wait for her for he had fallen in love.
After Pierre had graduated Hogwarts, he became a potioneer. He thought about Ophelia often, but unfortunately had no contact with her for several years because his work kept him busy and she was in school. Three years had passed and Ophelia was in her seventh year and by this time Pierre was well known in the potions community for his talents at making new potions. He returned to Hogwarts on official potioneer business and set eyes on Ophelia in a class he was visiting. The two spoke after class, rekindling that flame and shortly after Ophelia graduated they were married.
It took several years for the Aguillards to have children, for the two of them were very busy with their own respective careers. Pierre continued to work with potions, becoming a famous potion inventor and Ophelia was a well known healer at St. Mungo's. The couple was well over 50 when they had Haymitch. They had used special fertility potions that Pierre had created himself because they knew their chances of conceiving were low at that age. Fortunately they were lucky when Haymitch arrived.
Growing up, Haymitch spent a lot of time either at his father's office or at the hospital with his mother. In his free time he would read books. He was a well spoken individual by the time he was 10. He would even use long words that were much more advanced than a ten year old's speech. His parents were proud of him, and glad he didn't require as much work as a normal child, for their jobs kept them busy a lot more than a normal parent would be. It was around this age that Pierre discovered that whatever ingredients he had used in the fertility potion he had given his wife sped up Haymitch's mental development, making him virtually a child genius.
It was obviously no surprise that Haymitch received a letter to Hogwarts and was sorted into Gryffindor house. Because he was such an intelligent child, he did well in all of his classes throughout his years at Hogwarts. Particularly Defense Against the Dark Arts and Astronomy. It was during his schooling that he developed the trait of narcissism. He soon realized that he was much more intelligent than many students his age and he would often boast about his intelligence. This would continue throughout his life.
Of course, Haymitch did incredibly well on both his O.W.L.s and his N.E.W.T.s and he decided after graduating that he wanted to become a professor, to pass on the knowledge he had to younger minds. He had really had no desire to share knowledge with others growing up, but for some reason teaching really struck his fancy. He kept in contact and on good terms with the headmaster and was offered the job as Astronomy professor when he was 25. Up until that point, he had been training to be an Auror. He had quickly dropped that position when he was offered the teaching job and has never regretted it.
Sometime along his teaching career, Haymitch decided it best to rekindle the old Slug Club founded by Horace Slughorn back in the day. When the Headmaster's permission, Haymitch began recruiting intelligent and overachieving students who did well not just in his own class but all classes. Running such a club, Haymitch took it upon himself to monitor the grades of potential students and speak to coworkers about their opinions of certain students. He holds a Christmas party each year for the club members, much like Horace Slughorn used to. To say that these particular students are Haymitch's favorites is a bit of an understatement...
Haymitch continues to teach at Hogwarts to this day, and hopes he will stay in this position for a long time to come.
