Professor Tabitha Greenwood
Defense against the dark arts
Tabitha Greenwood was born in Ireland in 1958 to a muggle father Dimitri and a wizard mother Rose. Her parents and herself were ecstatic when she received her letter to Hogwarts at the age of 11. She completed 7 years at school and as soon as she was done, she went straight to Egypt and started her study as a dragon trainer. By her 20th birthday she was out capturing stray dragons and releasing them in a controlled area.
One day, when Tabitha was about 25 years old, she was out trying to capture two out of control baby dragons. She thought she had caught one when the other came up and bit her leg. The wound was so server that they had to amputate. Although she did go thought a lot of pain losing her leg, she did petrify the dragon that made her lose her leg.
She became a defense against the dark arts teacher at Hogwarts in 1985. Not knowing that she was one of the many that would only last a year. She brought many Egyptian artifacts with her and loves teaching her students about the ancient Egyptian wizards.
After only her first year of teaching at Hogwarts she received an owl stating that her father was very ill and would not live very much longer. Once the school year was over she went back home to spend a few more months with her father.
After his death, she felt that she could not leave her mother alone so she stayed close to home. She opened an Egyptian artifacts shop in her hometown.
