“History is not the past but a map of the past, drawn from a particular point of view, to be useful to the modern traveller.”
- Henry Glassie

About Professor Riddle:
Sorted in Year 38, I graduated from Hufflepuff in Year 45 after spending my student years as a Prefect, Head Girl, a frequent visitor to the Library, and a Quidditch player. Now, as an Alumni, I can be found in my home in Godric's Hollow when I'm not in the Huffle Common Room, playing games or nestled up with a good book!
