[/b][/i][/center]history
, Since Gallagher is in his early seventies both of his parents are now dead. He never had any siblings or children. Do most of his aunts and uncles dying at a young age Gallagher is the only member of family left alive. His father Laoghaire was a smart man who worked for the Ministry of Magic in the Magical Law Office. His mother Shannon worked at St. Mungo as a healer. Growing up under the influence of the two is where Gallagher got his sense of Wizard Community Service. Trying to better the Wizarding community was his parents goals and thus they became Gallagher’s. Laoghaire died around 1945 as results of Grindelwald regime while his mother died of nature cause in 1954.
Gallagher was born in Wicklow, Ireland in 1919 in a small cottage located in the open country. Gallagher grew up knowing what he was to becoming and thus with the help of his parents his training began at a young age. By the age of ten Gallagher knew quite a bit about the Magical Law Enforcement Department and St. Mungos in which his parents worked. From the time that his mother had taught him to read Gallagher got his hands on every book he could. His thrust for knowledge was great and by the time he received his letter from Hogwats was very knowledgeable in the art of Magical Theory. Since he did not contain a wand yet all Gallagher could do was study Magical Theory not practice it.
Gallagher went off to Howgarts as most of the children living on the British Isles. Having read and study for many years before attending Hogwarts Gallagher quickly launch himself as one of the greatest young minds of his age. Having a thirst for knowledge lead to him being sorted into Gryffindor. The sorting hat had considered placing him into Gryffindor but Gallagher wanted to learn in order to prove himself. Having been taught Transfiguration by Dumbledore himself along with other notable professors of the day Gallagher became pretty handy with a Wand. He went own to make Outstanding in all his classes.
Gallagher’s family had not been large on Wizarding Sports and upon arriving at Hogwarts he learned of Quidditch and feel in love with it. During his second year he joined his House Quidditch team and played until he left school as a chaser.
When he left school he began working at Ollivanders as an apprentice wand maker. He work there for almost ten years before he change to work at the Minstry of Magic in the Magical Law Enforcement. Gallagher is a skilled wand marker which came in hand during the First War with The Dark Lord and thus should prove to be the same.
In 1942 Gallagher married Savannah Wilder whom he grew up in school with. Gallagher had always like the fellow Gryffindor girl who was also from Ireland, but it was until they both began careers in the Magical Law Enforcement Department did a courtship begin. However, Savannah like Gallagher’s father meet the same fate under hands of Grindelwald. Savannah died in 1945 around the same time as Gallagher father. Gallagher blames himself for the death of his wife because he was there when Grindelwald sent a Killing curse toward Savannah. Gallagher did not react quickly enough and his wife was struck with it.
After Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald he had asked Gallagher to come and teach at Hogwarts. There friendship grew even closer between the times of the Dark Lords. Gallagher served in the Order of Phoenix during the First War. Gallagher had missed the Battle of Hogwarts due to the fact that he was aboard trying to gain the support of foreign wizards against the Dark Lord. After hat dreadful day, the Dark Lord was killed and things began to return back to normal. Gallagher stayed at the school teaching History of Magic and Transfiguration until now.
personality
, Gallagher is a sophisticated and well-manner man. Being a Gryffindor during his Hogwarts Years suggest that he shows courage and bravery tells that he is very intelligent. The sorting hat had considered placing him into Ravenclaw so this tells that he is very intelligent.. He is a trusting man but not a fool either. He will trust in you as long as you don’t give him reason not to. Gallagher seems to have the ability to know when some is lying to him, not by the use of Legilimency, but by the way a person’s behaviors. Once Gallagher finds something to believe in he is loyal to the end.
However sophisticated and smart Gallagher does know how to have fun. Gallagher is a prankster. He loves to pull jokes on people to get a laugh and loves the occasional prank war. During his free moments Gallagher can be send reading, trying to find someone to play chess with him, catching the nearest Quidditch match or trying out new experiments.
Gallagher does not posses any special abilities except for the fact that he is extremely intelligent about certain aspects of magic that most Witches and Wizards seem not to find interesting. History of Magic is one of areas, along with wandlore and a bit of ancient magic. He can perform Occlumency and some Legilimency however he has never been the type of person to enter the minds of others.
Gallagher has an old Celtic Sliver Tri-knot ring that he wears on his right {wand} hand. The ring was passed down from daughter to daughter of the Gallagher Family. Since Gallagher is the only surviving member of the Gallagher family he now has possession of it. The ring acts like a Sneakoscope in that the ring will become warm against the flesh when it detects someone untrustworthy.

sample , (When Gallagher started teaching in 1946)
It had been only a few weeks since the Dumbledore had asked Gallagher to come and began his teaching carrier at Hogwarts. They had agreed that he would teach History of Magic. The Begging of Term Feast had be over for only a day down, which meant that classes would start today.
Gallagher walked into this classroom that was settled nicely on the second floor and looked out the four large bay windows located on the left side of the classroom. They showed an excetnly view of the black lake. He navigated his way around the students desk and finally made it to the Professor desk located at the front of the room. He turned as faced the now empty classroom and awaited for students to arrive.
They slowly tricked in over the next quarter hour till finally all the seats had someone in them. Gallagher rose from his desk and spoke with a commanding voice that yet someone seemed to be soothing.
“I am Professor Gallagher, your new History of Magic Professor” he said as he look around at the faces that seemed board with the subject. “I too took this class many many years ago and felt the same way as you do now, so why don’t we make things interesting. Let say that in my class we have a little contest to see who can come up with the best prank to pull on me. Howver, be warned, if you do so, you will be pranked back.”
A great smile came across his face as Gallagher watched the attentin of his students spring t like. “Now, who would like to learn the secrest of this school?”
