Professor Jasper Marcsxxxxxx
Professor of Arithmancy I-Vxxxxxx
- xxxxThe Office:
Jasper's office is rather small but cozy with a neat desk and two armchairs with a ottoman in leather set in front of a bookcase that reaches the top of the ceiling. The window overlooks the Forbidden Forest and the heavy curtains are often open to reveal the view even on the gloomiest days.
A secret door behind a bookcase across from the large window in the office leads to Jasper's private quarters. Little indicates how the squib chooses to spend his time, though, it is evident he spends more time in his office than inside his own private chambers.
- xxxxAbout the Professor:
Professor Jasper Ichabod Marcs-Conroy (only goes by Professor Marcs), was born to a pureblood witch and wizard. His father came from a banking family full of loan sharks and his mother came from a family of seers and prophets. He of course soon became the failure of his parents as he turned out to be a squib. His Grandmother Marcs a seer from him mother's side took pity on him and adopted him from his parents.
Grandmother Marcs was adamant that Jasper learned the arts of prediction to his limitations as a squib and receive a reputable muggle education. As Jasper began his education in Mathematics of Random Systems he took two Adult Education Courses during his summer. He easily scored an O in Arithmancy which he felt was little different than the predictions muggles make using statistics, and an E in Ancient Runes which he found a bit more difficult for his mathematically inclined mind.
In 2048, Jasper completed his DPhil Mathematics of Random Systems CDT and with his choice of Universities he chose to began a professorship at the University of Sydney. His time was quite successful for ten years where he was beloved by his students, noted for his research, and soon to be selected for tenure before a conflict with a fellow professor regarding the quality of the other professor's work ended with Jasper being requested to leave the university to hide any controversy.
Until Jasper started with Hogwarts, he worked as an arithmancer working from his apartment in London.
