Personality: Dean is a loner by nature, he does not make friends easily but when he does he is loyal to a fault. He has a very dry sense of humor, one that is usually dependent on sarcasm. He also has an addictive personality, which is why he steers clear of things like alcohol and smoking.

Appearance: Dean stands at about 5’11” and has a lean build. He has black hair and blue eyes. He usually forgoes the wizards’ robes opting, instead, for a mechanic’s jumper or the casual T-shirt and jeans.

History: Dean’s mother was a witch and his father was a muggle, a mechanic by trade, when Dean was three years old his parents got divorced and his mother left him in the care of his father. Growing up Dean attended normal muggle schools and participated in normal muggle activities, having little to no recollection of his mother’s magic. During his years at Hogwarts Dean found that he really had no particular talent for any kind of magic. His grades in all classes were mediocre or average, thanks only to essays and other written assignments, and his teachers paid him little attention. After he graduated Hogwarts he returned home and helped his father in his shop, at least until he was approached about the vacant Muggle Studies position.

Other Notes:
Dean’s first year teaching
Never took the apparition exam
Has an unhealthy fondness for coffee

Dean must tutor my twins. They know next to nothing about Muggles. o^o <3

Aw, he looks like fun! Belle would probably try to bring him out of his shell and help him out since it's his first year teaching and all. Who knows, maybe they knew each other back when they were in Hogwarts since they're both Hufflepuffs.

@ Perseus - Yes, yes he should, they must be educated

@ Belle - I like that idea

I think Jessica would quite like him as a teacher They've both got that 'I want to do something but I don't know WHAT' angst going on, and the dry sense of humour always goes down well with her
