Facts About Emily Royer
Emily is daughter of a Orville Royer, an apothecary owner from a small village near Metz and the english magical researcher, Anya Nott. Besides not knowing her mother, Emily knows she is a pureblood, since her father never let her doubt about her blood heritage, even though he never speaks or tells anything about the woman.
Her interest for herbology and potions started since young age. She was always around, paying attention on her father’s work, interested in how he made potion. Emily was curious about the process of brewing and producing medicines for both muggles and wizards
Just like her father, she was sent to Durmstrang, since Orville thought that Beauxbatons wasn’t good enough on potions teaching. Emily however never fit too well at the school, since the girl was repulsed by sexist behavior of teachers and direction. Still, Emily graduated as one of the best of her class.
It was the summer before college Emily found out what happened with her mother. While moving some boxes in the attic, she discovered her mother’s diaries. When she showed them to her father, Orville decided to tell her the truth wishing this would be enough to push his daughter away: Anya was researching the origin of magic, how the magic is manifested in wizards, witches, magical beings and muggles. It was still in the beginning but the ideas behind this were very controversial, since it mixed muggle science with magical theory. Anya defended that the pureblood marriage was responsible for reducing genetic variety of the magical genes, hence the origin of the squibs, and with the right genetic therapy, a muggle could be able to use magic. She was killed by a group of death eaters that escaped from England with the Dark Lord’s first fall, since they wanted to make sure that her research would never see the daylight. Emily got even more interested on her mother’s works and decided to do everything she could to prove Anya was right.
Emily went on Berlin University graduating in magical theory and muggle bio-medicine. Just like in Durmstrang, she excel in her classes, gathering all the knowledge she would need to finish Anya’s studies. While studying to get her PhD degree. her brilliant intellect brought the attention of Tugwood Potion Industries. They offered her a job on their creative potion department in England to develop new products.
She worked for two years at Tugwood Industries until her job there starting to compromise the time she had to work her personal project. It was during that time that Emily heard that the famous potion master Horace Slughorn was leaving Hogwarts for good. Quickly, she dropped Tugwood Industries and applied for the job, since as a teacher, the woman would solver her time problem, while still being around a good apothecary and potion lab decent enough to keep her work going. It was no surprise that she was accepted and it’s been there since then,
Her biggest virtues as teacher is to be open to dialogue with her students and good will to repeat subject if anyone asks while her biggest flaws are not caring for school’s board politics and focusing only in the students that want to learn.
Emily couldn’t care less for the Hogwarts Rejects, however, she is intrigued by them and how they ignored magic for so long. it would be great if she could use one of them as sample for her study.
Relationships
Minerva McGonagall - Besides Minerva having her reservations on Emily’s style of teaching, she can’t deny that the woman has a natural talent for potion brewing and probably is a better a teacher than Slughorn, since Emily managed to higher up the grades.
Hecate McLaggen - Although Emily has nothing against the charms teacher, she usually tries to avoid Hecate in public because she doesn’t want to get involved in silly choir drama. However, Emily visits her once in a while in her classroom to chat in french or to solve any doubt that might show up in her way.
Sheldon Cattermole - Different what looks like Emily and Sheldon are actually best friends. She used to keep watching him during the meals, intrigued by his figure, until one day she listened him talking with a student about being a trans. A couple of weeks later, Emily delivered him a improved version of the potions to keep his body the way it was. Since then, they had been friends, they can talk about anything cause they know the other won’t judge them
Niobe Carter-Stretton - Niobe and Emily are rivals, Mostly because Niobe thinks Emily should be more inclusive while the other believes that Niobe is too nice and making the students lazy by the amount of help she gives to them. Also Niobe is a bit jealous of the crescent friendship between Emily and Sheldon.
Gaia Goshawk - Since Gaia heard that Emily quit a job at Tugwood Industries and attended at Durmstrang, that the potion teacher is on her radar, just waiting to point the finger and say that Emily is an evil witch. However, she can't deny that Emily is a good teacher, really focused into making the kids stronger wix.
William Stretton - To the potion master, William is nothing but a funny man. She can’t understand why everybody else seems to angry at him all the time. She believes that he can be a real seer but doesn’t know how to use his powers and would stay more time with him in public if it wasn’t by the choirs rivalry.
Neville Longbottom - Emily is a aware of Neville’s fame, but she couldn’t care less about it. She likes he is the only person that can keep up with her herbology knowledge but that’s it, since she isn’t much of social person.
