"A personal sojourn with noted Auror and decorated duellist Dorian Fungbury, increasing the amount of damage you can inflict against your Foes in combat."
— Description[src]

Dorian Fungbury was a British wizard employed by the Ministry of Magic in London. He was an accomplished Auror and a decorated duellist, although he was noted as being a "legendary show-off."[1][2]

Biography[]

In the 2010s, Dorian Fungbury offered an informative stay over for an Auror member of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force. Learning from their host, they benefited from it when out in the field. He later invited a Calamity Investigator working for the Statute of Secrecy Task Force to test a new combat regimen he had created, which consisted of pitting the investigator against thirty out-of-control Bludgers without a wand. Although the Calamity Investigator broke a few ribs as a result of the training, they did learn how to better remain light on their feet, helping them better dodge future attacks from adversaries.[2]

Fungbury later taught the same Calamity Investigator how to navigate Fortresses in a more flamboyant manner, helping them draw more attention to their exploits. He also hosted a lecture on staying sharp in the field, which was attended by the same Calamity Investigator. While the lecture mostly consisted of Fungbury's prattling about showmanship, the Calamity Investigator did learn how to better maximise the resources available at hand and to stay focused in the face of overwhelming odds.[2]

Fungbury arrested the vampire Gerard Le Croc, who had been terrorising wizarding inns in France, after he was captured in a trap by the same Calamity Investigator, with the two being praised by the French Ministry of Magic. He also needed to be escorted to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries by the same Calamity Investigator after an "accident" in a secret storehouse of powdered Dragon claw led to him swallowing enough to get ill. While being escorted, he offered to share the store with the Statute of Secrecy Task Force, to which the Calamity Investigator agreed, enabling them to more easily brew Baruffio's Brain Elixir.[2]

In July 2020, Hermione Granger asked Dorian to do some digging into illegal beast trading, as, since the Calamity, the Ministry had pulled resources away from combating the black market. He reached out to some underworld contacts and found that the black market - particularly the illegal magical creature market in Jakarta, Indonesia - had utterly exploded.[3]

In May 2021, Hermione got back in touch with Dorian to ask him to check in with his underworld contacts on another potential rise in illegal magical beast trading, which the Ministry believed might be associated with the criminal cabal known as The Unforgivable. Dorian reported back to Hermione that multiple known magical creature poachers had been spotted in Cape Town, South Africa, with Harry Potter sending a few Aurors to Cape Town to follow up on Dorian's tip, confirming a rise in black market activity there. The team managed to uncover co-ordinates to a warehouse at a port in Cape Town near where Dorian had seen the poachers, although it was found to be deserted when they attempted to raid it.[4]
