Professor Matilda Weasley (fl. 19th century) was a witch who lived during the 19th century. In her youth, she attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, before going on to work for the British Ministry of Magic as a Curse-Breaker. Later, she returned to her old school, becoming the professor of Transfiguration and, eventually, Deputy Headmistress.

Biography

Early life

Matilda was born into the wizarding Weasley family[9] and attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she was sorted into Gryffindor House. Noted to have been an "exceptionally talented witch", she was presumably a gifted pupil.

Ministry career

After graduating, Matilda joined the British Ministry of Magic as a Curse-Breaker.[10] Her calming presence and extraordinary wandwork allowed her to rise quickly through the ranks.[6] Around this time, Matilda also befriended Chiyo Kogawa, a Mahoutokoro-educated witch of the Japanese Ministry of Magic, whom she stayed in touch with over the years that followed.

Freelancing career

At some point during her Ministry career, Matilda met and fell in love with a Curse-Breaker named Paul, who reciprocated her feelings, and before long, Matilda had resigned from her position at the Ministry in favour of travelling the world with him as a freelance Curse-Breakers. With time, however, Matilda began to miss her family, the stability of a settled life, and the camaraderie of working with a talented group of witches and wizards. As Paul had no desire to "stop moving", their romance ended, and Matilda settled back down in Britain by herself.

At some point, she worked with Chiyo Kogawa in Yokohama, a time described as "eventful".

Hogwarts career

Pre-1890

At some point before 1890, Matilda took over from an unidentified predecessor. Matilda became the professor of Transfiguration at Hogwarts and proved herself to be a stern yet fair-minded instructor regarded for her ability to combine a good sense of humour with an air of authority. She was also eventually promoted to the position of Deputy Headmistress, in which capacity her students found her to be "slightly intimidating".

In her role, she took great care to supervise and discipline her nephew, Garreth Weasley, who was a student at the school in her care, though Garreth felt his aunt was too overbearing and protective.

As Headmaster Phineas Nigellus Black had delegated her the job of handling staff appointments, she recruited Chiyo Kogawa as the school's new Flying Instructor and Quidditch referee after learning about a bad experience she had had during a try-out for the Toyohashi Tengu. Matilda had also befriended Mudiwa Onai, a gifted Seer and educator at Uagadou, with whom she was friendly enough that when she learned of the unexpected death of the latter's husband, she offered words of consolation and successfully persuaded Professor Black to let her invite Mudiwa to teach at Hogwarts instead.
