Name:Victoria Rose Parker
Age and Birthday:24-November 16, 1986
Desired Position:Potions Instructor
Experience:Was instructed at Hogwarts; excelled in Potions, to the point I had special tutoring sessions with the Ministry. Finished Advanced Potions by fourth year. Have a natural affinity for working with them.
Attributes: Organized-I like to keep things very orderly and neat. I don't appreciate a mess, and my office and classroom will both be that way.
Hands-On-I feel as if the best approach to teaching one Potions is to just let them do it, get a feel for the properties involved, and let the Potion take control and make itself, to an extent.
Approchable and Helpful-I am more than willing to help any student along who may need it, but also tend to pair an excelling student with a student who may be struggling so that they may help one another. I will have regular office hours that my students can reach me at, or they may send me an owl requesting an appointment at a time I am not in class.
Straightforward-I do not enjoy wasting time beating around the bush about things, so introductions and filler material will be minimal.

The clicking of her heels alerted students that Professor Parker was in the room and ready to start class, as she set down her bag and procured her wand, flicking it so that it wrote like chalk on the board behind her. The students went silent as words appeared on the board.

What are Potions?:
She then glanced over the room with her dark, mysterious eyes, making a mental note of how many students were there and who she might have trouble with. She noticed a pair in the back who were already engrossed in their own conversation. Pointing her wand their way, the students began to separate, a couple of desks appearing in between them. "I like to take care of problems before they get started. " The pair gave her a look, as if she had just ruined their day. Ignoring this, she went on. "My name, as you can see, is Professor Parker. Welcome to Potions. While I like to keep class interesting and fun, I don't tolerate socializing while I am speaking or teaching. You will have a very hands-on approach to this class, as we will only be working in textbooks minimally. I have been working with potions for most of my life, and have found the best way to learn them is to just be active and create them. The feeling of success as you watch Felix Felicis turn that beautiful golden hue, or feeling something blow up in your face if it messes up, both are equally amazing feelings to me. Potions is a...for lack of a better word...fluid subject. It takes the steady wand and the practiced mind to get it...just right. Anyway, without further ado, please fill out this form, along with anything you know about potions and any questions you might have for me, and then pass this forward."
