Chapter 1
Minerva MacGonagall
At the age of eleven, Minerva attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. During her Sorting, she proved to be a hatstall: the Sorting Hat spent five-and-a-half minutes wavering between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw before deciding to place her in the former. Minerva's school career overlapped by two years with that of Pomona Sprout, and the two students enjoyed an excellent relationship, both then and in later years.[1]
Minerva was quickly recognised as the most outstanding student of her year with a particular talent for Transfiguration. By the end of her education at Hogwarts, she had achieved an impressive record: top grades in O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s, Prefect, Head Girl, and winner of the Transfiguration Today Most Promising Newcomer award. Under the guidance of her inspirational Transfiguration teacher, Albus Dumbledore, Minerva had managed to become an Animagus; her animal form, with its distinctive markings (tabby cat, square spectacles markings around eyes) were duly logged in the Ministry of Magic's Animagus Registry.[1]
Minerva played for Gryffindor Quidditch team in her student years, in which she proved to be gifted. However, she suffered a nasty fall in her final year: a foul during the Gryffindor versus Slytherin match which would decide the Quidditch Cup winner. This event left her with a concussion, several broken ribs, and a lifelong desire to see Slytherin crushed on the Quidditch pitch.[1]
As Headmistress of Hogwarts (1998-)
Early career
With the conclusion of the war, Professor McGonagall was awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class, by Minister for Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt for her unwavering allegiance to the Order of the Phoenix, as well as being featured on a Chocolate Frog Card, the latter of which were an accolade she admitted she had never imagined receiving.[11] Four months later, Minerva was also officially appointed to the position of Headmistress by the Hogwarts Board of Governors,[19] by which time the extensive damages done to the castle had been duly repaired, the protective enchantments surrounding the school restored and the faculty ready to accept a new batch of First Year students for the 1998–1999 school year. During this term, the school also guided those who would have otherwise completed their studies had it not been for the Magic is Might Campaign of Lord Voldemort and his followers, such as Muggle-borns like Hermione Granger, in finishing their N.E.W.T.s.[20] Upon assuming her new position, Minerva relocated; moving out of her sparse, stone-floored bedroom off of the first-floor corridor and took up permanent residence in Professor Dumbledore's old quarters, whereupon her new study became the home to among other things a self-playing harp, Its tones often being heard around midday, between classes.[21] In the time that followed, Professor McGonagall was responsible for, among other things, finding someone to replace her as the school's Transfiguration teacher,[22] finding a new, permanent replacement for the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts instructor, the eventual employment of her former student Neville Longbottom to the Herbology department, under head of department, Pomona Sprout;[23][19] whom she also eventually named her successor as Head of Gryffindor House.[24]
