Professor Zella Devore

==Academic and Professional Career==
During her seventh year at Hogwarts she specialized in charms, assisting Professor Flitwick.
Right before heading off to school her father, who worked for the ministry of magic, gave her an old family heirloom: a necklace. That year the Battle of Hogwarts occurred and the necklace defended Devore, absorbing almost all the spells hurled at her. After the battle her father was nowhere to be found, and she later discovered he was on the list of known Death Eaters. Devore assumed her father, knowing what was to come, gave her the necklace as protection.
Devore struggled with survivor’s guilt, having seen so many die, yet she had lived, saved by one who sided with those so willing to slaughter her classmates and professors. She decided she would make a difference. Devore has since spent all her waking moments working to protect the students at Hogwarts. Some have nicknamed her the ‘saint of Hogwarts’ so great is her dedication to the students there. She desperately wants to undo the taint on her families name.
Zella studied hard to learn the art of enchanting objects. She also became extremely proficient at wandless magic and casting powerful charms. Her ability to cast protection charms was so impressive she was hired by Gringotts right after graduation to travel the world and cast protective enchantments on exotic objects for their wealthier customers who wanted their items protected but still close to home. She even cast charms on Gringotts’ guardians. Her travels eventually led her to Paris, where she taught fashion.
