Name: Thespia Malfoy (née Selwyn) Bio: It was not only her year of teaching in Hogwarts that caused Thespia Malfoy to over the course of her short life gain popularity amongst her colleagues (Horace Slughorn being one of them) and students alike, who mourned her loss for many years to follow. She was also an incredibly talented poet, publishing several volumes that are all a firm part of every well-read witch and wizard's library. Her poems count as classics, are regarded as the most beautiful work in Wizarding Literature, and haven't left their spot high up on Flourish & Blotts' Bestseller list for many decades.
Thespia, however, dreaded fame and published her work anonymously. Only those closest to her (with the exception of her much-beloved husband Abraxas who was left to raise their son Lucius by himself as she died in childbed) know the true origin of the poetry they all so admire. Slughorn had and still has his own theories about his dear former student and colleague Thespia's connection to these poems she seemed to be so strangely familiar with, but he hasn't quite unveiled the mystery. Yet.
