Unidentified female Hogwarts teacher

This individual was teaching at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1994 to 1997 at least. On Christmas Eve, 1994, she attended the Yule Ball and watched over the proceedings with some of her colleagues. Two years later, on December 20, she attended Horace Slughorn's Christmas party.

Early life
This individual may have attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in her youth. She may also have been a member of Professor Horace Slughorn's Slug Club during her student years.

1994-1995 school year
This individual was in a teaching career at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by at least 1994. She watched over the arrival of the students of Durmstrang Institute and Beauxbatons Academy of Magic when the school opened its doors to the holding of the Triwizard Tournament. She later attended the Yule Ball, wearing red robes, and stood with Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape and Albus Dumbledore watching over the proceedings acting as a chaperone. She attended the Second task of the Triwizard Tournament.

1995-1996 school year
In the next school year she sat again at the Staff Table, next to Sybill Trelawney as she made a mess while eating her meal. Dolores Umbridge interrupted Headmaster Albus Dumbledore's announcements and gave a speech, which this professor heard attentively. This year, Hogwarts would under go inspection from High Inquisitor Dolores Umbridge and it is presumed that as a teacher at Hogwarts, she was also inspected by Umbridge.



1996-1997 school year
For the 1996-1997 school year Start-of-Term Feast, the professor sat on Albus Dumbledore's left hand-side, next to Rubeus Hagrid, the Care of Magical Creatures teacher and Gamekeeper. At one point, she visited the Hogwarts Library and collected a stack of books, which she bewitched to follow her. In December, she attended Horace Slughorn's Slug Club Christmas party and was seen socializing with other guests with a drink in her hand and wearing a red dress. That year was an unfortunate and eventful year at Hogwarts: the castle was infiltrated by Death Eaters, and her employer, Albus Dumbledore, was killed by Severus Snape at the top of the Astronomy Tower.

 * She may be a recasting of Irma Pince, because in the film version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince she can be seen in the library as Hermione and Harry are discussing Romilda Vane. However, this is unconfirmed because she could be another person simply doing research.
