History
Bloodline: Pureblood Family: A father and a mother (deceased when Hippocrates was 8), no siblings Pet: A very old, golden cat/kneazle with long golden hair named Kefira (Lioness in Hebrew), because of her likeness of straying near the Gryffindor Common Room. Overall History: He was raised by both parents at their manor house in the country up until the time he was eight years old. He was an only child and had a relatively carefree childhood compared to others. Then, just before his eighth birthday his Mum got very ill and none of the Healers or Muggle doctors they took her to knew what to do to help her. She died in August of that year and he made a vow then and there that one day he would become a Healer and devote his life to helping others so that no other child would have to go through what he had in losing his Mum.
He was accepted at Hogwarts when he was 11 and was sorted into Ravenclaw House. He was a thoughtful boy throughout his childhood, quiet and peaceful. He was many of the Professors' favorite because he was kind and very gentle, particularly with the first years. He enjoyed Care of Magical Creatures class because it dealt with living things. He was captain of the chess club and enjoyed flying though he was not a Quidditch player. He excelled in both Potions and Charms and always made time for anyone who needed his help. He was quick of wit and sometimes acted before he thought and a bit impatient too. He made friends easily and began to help in the Hospital wing after being made a prefect in his fifth year and later a Head Boy.
After graduating Hogwarts he became a Trainee Healer at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, starting out in the Plant and Potion Poisoning floor due to his excellent grades in that class. He later, seeking a challenge, moved around to the Janus Thickey Ward and the Insanity Ward.. but found his real love in the Creature Induced Injury Floor particularly with the Dai Llewellyn ward and later became Head Healer and head of board by 1940. He is a friend of Remus and was Remus' Healer from the first night that he was brought in for his first bite and the two keep in contact as much as they can. Hippocrates is a staunch supporter of Dumbledore, and the two have been friends since many many years before.
