Patricia Rakepick

Patricia Rakepick is the Charms Professor at Hogwarts.

History
Patricia was hired in 1988 to replace Amelia Bones as the Charms Professor after her promotion to Headmistress and has stayed in that position since. In November of 1993 she helped to train Minerva McGonagall into a 'hypnotic lioness' as part of a plan to help her and her wife win a schoolwide poll to determine 'Hogwarts's Cutest Couple'.

Personality
Almost never willing to be hypnotized by students and submitting only to the Headmistress herself, Patricia is the most dominant witch at Hogwarts. Although she can be rather blunt, she does have a soft side and is friends with Hermione and Minerva. In class, she prefers her students to be in trance at almost all times, as opposed to most other Professors who wake their students up before having them begin their assignments. Additionally, her inductions are simple and consist mostly of triggers, as she feels that class time is better spent on learning new Charms.
