Boniface Murtagh MacTavish was born on the 19th day of February in the year of 1987 to two loving parents, Teàrlach MacTavish and Sorcha MacTavish (née McLain). He was born, originally, in Fort Augustus, which is a town located between Fort William and Inverness. His parents lived on the outskirts with just enough room to farm on, making them the towns natural healers.

Both of his parents were muggles, so Boniface knew nothing of the magic world whilst growing up. There was rarely any suspicions, either, as he didn't present himself as anything special. Of course, his parents were the town healers, so he came off as a little odd, though everyone blew it off as him just leaning towards having a healing aptitude.

He was a quiet lad growing up. His parents found this very strange, because they never did meet a Scot who couldn't talk your ear off. Boniface was outgoing enough, but preferred, often times, to stick to no one but himself.

Upon being accepted into Hogwarts, Boniface immediately found home in the greenhouses of Herbology. It would not be a lie to say that he found himself in trouble, poking about the wrong greenhouses. In face, he found himself in detention over this more than once.

He entered Hogwarts around the year of 1998, which was the same year that marked the ending of the Second Wizarding War. Everything was a mess, and people were still frightened. There was emotional scaring and war stories galore, and this certainly turned young Boniface away for many years. Though he had no traumas as he didn't see the war himself, he certainly was fearful of the environment that he had just been thrown into.

The young man also found himself trying his hand at Quidditch, though he never excelled in it the way that he did when it came to plants. Boniface wanted desperately to find other hobbies, but he simply couldn't break away from his one true love: herbology.

After graduating, Boniface moved to Dunardry, the ancient areas in which Clan MacTavish once resided. He settled in a nice cottage, made of stone that had been standing for who knows how long. He lived there comfortably, practicing healing as he had always wanted to. Boniface relished in the quiet life, soaking up the peace as much as he could.

Until his call to action.

Once Boniface heard of a herbology opening, he knew that it was time. Though he had a deep love for his cottage (which, mind you, happily stood almost in the middle of nowhere), there were other glories that awaited the man. So, at 32 years of age, he returned to Hogwarts for the first time in over a decade, and this time as a Professor.

So, Boniface packed up his belongings (which wasn't much but a suitcase filled with all of his necessities), and he made his way back, ready to start the second chapter of his life.
