History:
David was raised the eldest child of two professional wizarding parents. They were a bit strict on their two sons at times but he didn't mind. After all, he tended to stay outt of trouble, unlike his little brother. His father was an Auror, and his mother worked as a healer. Needless to say he was quite proud of them both. Of course, despite their differences he was always rather fond of his somewhat high spirited little brother too.
Upon entering Hogwarts David was sorted into Ravenclaw. He excelled, and received high marks in all his subjects. He also joined his houses quidditch team as a chaser. While he wasn't the best, he did enjoy the sport and considered himself in good company when he was among his teammates.
A widower, David has five children, ages twelve to twenty two. The eldest of his daughters was a Ravenclaw in school and is considering a career in the Ministry. His second eldest daughter, a former Ravenclaw, and is currently trying decide whether to focus in a career as a journalist or an auror. His son was sorted into Hufflepuff much to everyone's surprise, but over the years the family has seen the wisdom of the sorting hat has become more and more apparent. As his father says, 'You just never know with that boy.' His two daughters still in school are seventeen and twelve, respectively. The eldest, an avid quidditch player is very much like her father. Intelligent, studious, and kind she found her place in her father's house.
The youngest is a gryffindor, and while just an underclassmen it seems that great things lie ahead for her at Hogwarts.
As for David himself he's been teaching at the school for 12 years, and is currently educating students on the topic of transfiguration. He became Ravenclaw HOH when Professor Flitwick stepped down from the post, and has often said he wouldn't trade his job for the world. A bit more time with his family would be nice , but at least his job offers him the chance to help ensure the future of not only his children, but the future of the other students at Hogwarts as well
