Professor Don Ironbark

==Academic and Professional Career==
Don Ironbark attended Ilvermorny and graduated with semi-high marks, allowing him to go on and study the supposed magical places around the world. He first started to teach at Ilvermorny due to it being the most convenient but considers it an honor to be teaching at Hogwarts after being invited.
===Teaching Style===
Professor Ironbark keeps a strict code when it comes to his class, "a No-Mag's high school lecture" as he likes to put it. He tends to show a soft spot when someone is struggling with the course; however, he doesn't let that exclude them from the rules of no returns, redos, and makeup work.
==Personal Life==
===Childhood===
Ironbark was born in 1918 but as he grew up his family started to experience money troubles and by the time he was about to attend Ilvermorny they couldn't afford to put food on the table. So with permission from the school, they used a Time-Turner to send him to the future so the money they could invest could grow. Before he went to the future his family gifted him the heirloom, the wand he currently uses for practical uses, unlike his dueling wand, it's longer and is better for a walking stick rather than a fighting wand. When he did make it to the future he was able to use the money to attend school with all the supplies he needed. He was sorted into Horned Serpent and tried to keep within the rules to avoid being unsafe but during his later years, the Time-Turner was confiscated after an altercation with another student. This encounter also caused the reason for his eyepatch.
=== Post-Graduation ===
Professor Ironbark spent much of his time after graduating around the world, documenting any rumored magical places, he still has all these notes and is nearly ready to publish a book. Sadly after having his Timer-Turner was taken away, his memory is slowly deteriorating, but he tries to write down all he can to help him remember what happened in the past. After being self-taught for many years he started to teach at Ilvermorny, even with his failing memory. 
After a few years, Don was invited to Hogwarts and he accepted, it is currently his first year teaching.Category:Characters
