Professor LeAnn Clarke

LeAnn Clarke . Ginnifer Goodwin

34 | History of Magic Professor | October 15 | Muggle

LeAnn has a few OCD tendencies, keeping her things tidy and her appearance very prim and professional. While she cares deeply about the students in her care, she is a strict professor who expects a great deal from her students and will not accept excuses if she feels someone has not worked to their potential. Very few people get to see her cut loose, but her long time friend, Devon, is able to bust LeAnn out of her shell occasionally.

LeAnn was born to muggles, Larry and Anna, who were both in real estate. As a child, she wanted for very little except perhaps more time with her parents, who it seemed were always busy with work. Even as a child, LeAnn was a quiet, withdrawn child, not rejecting the attention of others her age, but not actively seeking it out either. She found solace in books and in particular loved history books. By the time she entered grade school, she knew more about history than most high school graduates.

She was soon to realize how much more she had to learn when she received her letter from Kai's Academy of Magic. At first, she thought someone was playing a ridiculous prank and ignored the letter, but as more started coming, it became harder to ignore. Upon entering the Academy, LeAnn found that there was a fascinating history in the magical world that most muggles view as myths and legends. This completely changed her view of the world.

Her world was shaken once again when the wizarding world was devastated by the return of Lord Voldemort. The Academy decided to shut it doors and LeAnn found herself regulated back to the world of muggles, a world she had never felt a part of. She struggled for years before some of her old classmates starting talking about reopening the school. Jumping at the chance to rejoin the wizarding world, LeAnn found herself offering to teach History of Magic to a new generation of wizards and witches.
