Thomas Garrett (AA)
Healer Thomas Joshua "Tom" Garrett (b. 4 September, 1976) was an English Half-Blood wizard born to Eleanor and Raymond Garrett. He is also the younger brother of Rachel Garrett and both the uncle and godfather of her two children: Jessica and Joshua. Tom began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1987 and was sorted into Hufflepuff House. He soon became friends with Percy Weasley through weekly study sessions and later Oliver Wood. During his fifth year at Hogwarts, Tom also became a Hufflepuff prefect. Tom played a significant role in the Second Wizarding War by healing the injured and fighting alongside the Order of the Phoenix during the Battle of Hogwarts, which led to his desire to become an Auror. Tom married Sasillian "Lian" Yaxley.

Early life (1976-1987)
Thomas Joshua Garrett was born on 4 August, 1976 to Eleanor and Raymond Garrett, becoming the younger brother of their daughter Rachel. Thomas and Rachel became each other’s best friend, Tom wanted to be like his older sister and took on many activities that she enjoyed. The family was very goal-oriented and Thomas (along with Rachel) focused on his studies from a very young age, particularly interested in science. They also engaged in a wide variety of extra curricular activities including piano, classical singing and first aid. At the age of six, Tom sat with his nine-year-old sister and they planned their future careers. He attended a Muggle primary school from age 4-10.

Hogwarts Years (1987-1994)
Garrett started his Hogwarts life on 1 September by being sorted into Hufflepuff house.

After Hogwarts (1994-late 2001)
After leaving Hogwarts, Tom became a full time Healer at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. He began as a Trainee Healer in the Spell Damage floor, sometimes specializing in curse research. In 1999, he successfully discovered a counter-curse that worked for a number of Dark curses when his boss assigned him to the task of reading through ancient spellbooks. After a week, he found a spell to cure a young Auror who was cursed while fighting ex- Death Eaters. Thomas was subsequently promoted to the job of a fully qualified Healer in the Spell Damage floor.

Career as an Auror (2001-2008)
Tom chose to leave St Mungo's to pursue a career as an Auror, working for Harry Potter in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. He was able to skip the first year of the Auror Training Program due to his qualifications as a Healer and status as a survivor of the Battle of Hogwarts. In December 2003 he qualified as an Auror. His tasks included keeping track of Auror potion supplies, educating the Aurors on basic Healing magic, going on missions as a bodyguard, Healing Aurors during raids and missions that went wrong, and assisting Head Auror Harry Potter with the Auror Academy during July 2008.

Return to St Mungo's (2008 - present)
After years of working in the Auror Office, Tom decided it was too stressful a job for him and returned to his position as a Healer.
