Appearance:



Three Characteristics You Think You Are: Realistic, efficient, protective
Three Characteristics Others Think You Are: Reliable, patient, sage
Three Random Facts:
• He adores his daughters, but hopes to also have a son in the future.
• Although he tries to be fair, he still tends to favour Slytherin students in his lessons.
• His protectiveness extends to his younger siblings' families, as he still feels personally responsible for their well-being.

Aspirations:
• To make sure that Thalia doesn't get into too much trouble while at school.
• To convince Pansy that she would be a great teacher, so she would join him at Hogwarts (unlikely to succeed while Eliza is the Headmistress).
• To provide the best possible education for his students.

Favourite Branch of Magic: Divination.
Favourite Wizarding Food or Drink: Gillywater.
Thoughts or involvement on an event from the Timeline: The Polyjuice Fiasco - Preston had just recently started teaching at Hogwarts when the event occurred. He remembers it as a chaotic day that made him fear for the students' lives and do his utmost to restore order.
Thoughts on Blood Purism: It is of no consequence, and should not be considered when judging a person's value.
Thoughts on Scotland's Independence: Good for them, and good that it prevented the loss of more lives. Having a single country and a united wizarding government would have been preferable - but since it was not possible, better to let bygones be bygones.

Roleplay Example:

Thalia was elated to see Dustin sorted into Slytherin. She had been so certain that both of her cousins would go to some other house! It was still disappointing to watch Ella walk to the Gryffindor table, though. Hopefully, she wouldn't be too upset about it. Thalia's certainty about where she herself would be placed did not waver; the Hat did not take long in declaring her a Slytherin. She rushed off to join her new housemates. Others she knew were soon sorted and dispatched to their respective houses. Ezra went to join Ella, which made Thalia glad - at least her cousin wasn't getting completely separated from her peers.

Following the chaos of the school song, the lyrics of which were a complete mystery to Thalia - she just tried to guess them along the way while listening to those around her - she turned to Dustin. "I didn't expect you to be in Slytherin! I'm really glad, though. How do you feel about it?" She knew he wasn't used to being away from his twin sister, and being parted in this way might have made him uncomfortable.
