Personality:
Preston Kingsley prefers formality, in stark contrast to his upbringing. Titles. Honorifics. Ruffles. He is quite a stickler for proper manners and does not tolerate behavior that he does not see as befitting young gentlemen and ladies in an educational setting. This does not mean that he doesn't enjoy a good chuckle, occasionally, but that there is a time and a place for such things.

Relevant History:
As a student, Preston mostly kept to himself. He despised Quidditch, thinking it a silly distraction from more important things. He excelled in Transfiguration, Charms and Defense, and performed reasonably well in Potions and Care of Magical Creatures. He did not take Arithmancy or Divination beyond what was required as he did not find himself capable in those subjects. Rather than spread himself thin, he opted to instead focus on those topics in which he showed the most aptitude.

Following graduation, he took a job with the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, though he was most captivated by questions of policy creation, rather than enforcement. He stayed in this position for a few years, continuing his practice of writing to his sister who was then, herself, a student at Hogwarts. When she took ill, Preston abruptly left his job and moved back home to help care for her. He tutored her in numerous subjects, eventually taking on additional students, whose parents wanted supplements to their own homeschooling. He continued his own independent study, furthering his proficiency in a multitude of areas.

Once Eleanor's schooling was complete, Preston continued his tutoring, taking on a number of pupils from influential families who, while they did not want to send their children away to school, did not want to handle the business of education themselves, either. He continued in this work for a number of years until one of his employers, a member of the Wizengamot offered him a position as an adviser. He served in this capacity for less than a year, finding that while he had been fascinated by the field as a youth, now missed education. His previous pupils under the care of other tutors, Preston accepted a position at Hogwarts.
