Author's Note: alright, I know it's weak, picking a teacher. But honestly, JKR didn't give us very many Ravenclaws to work with... But at least it's here? It's also short. Sorry. The next chapter will be longer, I promise!
Flitwick the Courageous
Filius Flitwick loved to teach.
He liked the idea of being part of the educational system.
He enjoyed helping people and doing the right thing.
Flitwick was of good humor, and was not quick to anger.
At school, the hat had debated between sorting him into Ravenclaw and Griffindor, but eventually decided on the former.
He was glad he was put into Ravenclaw, but he honestly would have done well in either.
Flitwick was part goblin, and his blood was only made more obvious as the years progressed.
But no one picked on him, despite his size.
Children could be cruel, but Flitwick was quick to show that any bullies would be put firmly in their place.
He had no tolerance for students who picked on the weak, and his teachers recognized the leadership qualities in him.
He was a prefect, and later would become head boy.
Flitwick got great grades, and had always been an intelligent person.
Flitwick always knew he wanted to be a teacher, and come back to Hogwarts.
He had been a model student while in school, but often gave much slack to those who did not follow his spotless example.
Fred and George Weasley in particular amused him, in addition to the Marauders and Dora Tonks.
He had a tolerance for pranks that was higher than most teachers, even when the pranks were directed at him.
The pranksters were very rarely in his own house, but he tried to treat all the students the same.
Flitwick respected all students, but still had no patience for bullies, whether they be students or teachers.
He didn't care if someone was a Slytherin or a Gryffindor, as long as they could cast.
(Although he did have a special spot for his Ravenclaws).
Flitwick was a dueling champion and an accomplished wizard.
He was loyal to Hogwarts, and loyal to his co-workers.
During the first war against Voldemort, he protected the school and students, a task he took up again during the second war.
He believed in Harry Potter when others had not.
He was brave, he was courageous, and he was clever.
Most students, regardless of house, liked his class and thought him to be a good teacher.
Flitwick wanted to do his part in the war effort.
He wasn't part of the Order of the Phoenix, but he was firmly on the light side.
When death eaters invaded, he tried to warn the castle of the impending danger.
He had been friends with Albus Dumbledore, and took part in his funeral plans.
Flitwick never shied away from battle, but he was still a gentle person, and a caring one.
During the year after Dumbledore's death, Flitwick stayed at Hogwarts with Minerva McGonagall to protect the students from the cruelty of the death eaters employed.
In the battle of Hogwarts, he protected his students, but also fought against the invading death eaters.
He was an excellent dueler, and it served him well.
How well?
Flitwick survived the battle, and continued to teach for many more years.
