History

Early Family History

Arthur “Art” Newton was born to Neurobiologist Melissa, and Physicist Orville. He already had two brothers; Scott and Walter, and was soon joined by Samuel. He was born in Norway, whilst his family were on a three year working holiday there. The following year, they moved to Oxfordshire, where his parents returned to work. They were all very surprised when Scott, on his eleventh birthday, were visited by the current Head of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who informed them that Scott was, in fact, a Wizard. Two years later, Walter followed, and sure enough, three years passed, and on April 1st, Art got his letter.

Hogwarts History

He was sorted into Gryffindor, and wasn’t the only Newton to be surprised, as his brothers had both been sorted into Ravenclaw. He was, however, on the stall for seven whole minutes. Art knew it was seven minutes because, as he remembers, he counted seven lots of sixty. Seconds, that is. The ultimate decision of the hat to place Art in Gryffindor soon proved to be obvious. The young lad was constantly doing things without thinking. He was in and out of the Hospital wing with injuries, and in and out of Detention. His bravery was too much for his poor sense of restraint, and his clumsiness. He was exceptionally gifted in Potions, and grew a keen interest in herbology, transfiguration, and Care of Magical Creatures, all of which assisted throughout his potions career.

Academic and Career History

Once Art graduated from Hogwarts, he had decided to continue with his magical studies, furthering his knowledge of Potions. For the next few years, he studied under great Potioneers, and his poor restraint proved to be a gift, as it was Art who, putting all of his great ideas to practice, was brave enough to deal with the singed eyebrows and burnt digits to find the perfect formulas for many potions, giving him the unfearing ability to invent many new potions.

After working in the Potions Laboratories for a few years, Art began to look into various magical illnesses and maladies. After feeling the desire to help those living with illnesses, in brewing healing potions, he applied for a training course at St. Olaf’s Hospital, back in his birthplace of Norway. The course ran for four years, and he learned about various illnesses and maladies, and how to create curative and treating potions. Following 15 years of training, working in the potions teams in various hospitals, and with the death of his beloved parents, Art decided to return to his muggle roots and apply to study Chemistry at the local muggle university. Over the next 15 years, he went through as a first year undergraduate, finishing his doctorate, and went on to teach part time within various High Schools. He divided his time between working as a chemist, and a potioneer, before finally, after his muggle retirement, applying for the post of Potion Master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Personal History

Arthur met and fell in love with fellow Gryffindor muggle-born, Danielle McCray, whilst in their fifth year. Upon leaving Hogwarts, the two remained in a relationship and eventually married. The couple were both focusing on their careers, and did not have any children. Danielle eventually became an Auror, and was killed in duty. The mourning Art buried himself into his work, and spent four years trying to develop a shielding potion for other Aurors going into a dangerous situation. Soon after he developed a rough brew of the potion, he met another witch, Minnie Willowgrass. They married only six months later, and had three children, triplets, who were educated in Norway. Unfortunately Art's perfect family fell apart in 2081, when Minnie died of a pulmonary embolism.

Art and his children grew even closer in the wake of their mothers death. The children were at Hogwarts but Art had great support from his family.

Personality

Olivia Phillips is very much a vibrant, vivacious girl. If she could be personified as a fictional character, it'd be Disney Princess Rapunzel... but she's also so much more than that. On top of being a girl's girl and enjoying actually being girlie, Liv also likes getting down and dirty with the best of them. She climbs trees, falls and gets cuts and scraps....but will still strap on her pointe shoes and perform with flawless precision (thanks to the THIRTEEN YEARS of classical/formal ballet training). Christened "Tinkerbell" in her First Year, this Gryffindor also enjoys rolling around and playing with the sparkly stuff, in addition to many other arts and crafts. When it comes to her friends, she remains FIERCE and LOYAL; willing to vehemently defend against anyone who disrespects those she cares for.....though, she's never actually been in a physical fight (of that nature). Liv definitely likes it best when everyone she cares for gets along. She's not one who enjoys picking sides, but will tell someone quickly when she thinks they're in the wrong.... In her calming, placating way. Olivia understands the art of manipulation, thanks to her Slytherin mother, but she's also so many parts of her father; loving, affectionate, kind, and understanding.

As of Year Four: Due to trauma and deep personal tragedy, Olivia Phillips may no longer be as accepting or warm towards strangers...or people she doesn't know well, in general. Less loud and obnoxious, events have had a calming, sedating effect on this once lively girl. Suffice it to say that her worldview has been altered forever.

History

Year One: To be perfectly honest, Olivia was totally excited about starting at Hogwarts since all her friends (who were older) had already gone off to school there. So excited was she, that she ditched riding in the Firstie boats to catch up with Blaise Bellaire and Bentley Moore, who she'd made acquaintances with over the previous summer. Naturally, having been given time to plot with these boys had been a bad idea, and before Liv knew it, she'd been swept up into a dramatically choreographed food fight. THE POTATOES HAD BEEN SPARED, thanks to some quick (and greedy) thinking on the Gryffindor's part. Oh, and there was that, too. She'd been hoping for Gryffindor house thanks to her father having been sorted there and the FABULOUS Alice Fischer. So, much to her relief, she joined the lions! As far as lessons went, "smol blonde" struggled massively in Transfiguration and Astronomy, but unexpectedly SHINED in Defense Against the Dark arts, which could've been thanks to Professor Hirsch (or...PRINCE ERIC for those those that hadn't made the connection). Other academic honorable mentions (in the lessons department) went out to Charms (which she quickly fell in love with) and Care of Magical Creatures (because some of these animals were dangerous and Liv has zero self preservation).
Highlights of the term: placing SECOND in her age group in Dueling Club, joining the Yearbook staff as a junior scribe, and making many new, wonderful friendsies (the best of which being Rooney Bronwyn)
Year Two: After a rather uneventful summer, which she'd spent with friends and family, Liv boarded the Hogwarts Express for another year of magic. Since her first term had been rather disappointing, she'd promised herself she'd just suck it up and make more of an effort. This worked for the most part, as everyone wanted to share in her tea and snacks. No one turns down tea and snacks, FYI. Some new friends were made and feeling placated with that success, the Feast stayed uneventful. Actually, most of the term was uneventful. One amazing point, Professor Myers really impressed her with his Herbology lesson planning. A keen lover of all things DISNEY, the small Gryffindor sucked up the Alice in Wonderland with fevered enthusiasm. With his "dress up" and "cosplay", he quickly jumped to favorite professor; second only to Prince Erik (aka, Professor Hirsch). Academia aside, most of the excitement came from personal happenings for this blonde. Liv finally SNOGGED, which was a big to do, and orchestrated by her two very best girlfriends, Chloe Newman and Charlotte Kettleburn. Insert one Casper Greenwood. From around Valentine's towards the end of the term, she practiced with the Ravenclaw (which was wonderful and exciting for her, obvi)....but then disaster struck when Rooney Bronwyn "happened'. In a big way, yes. In short: world view = shattered. They shared a kiss in a moment of excitement, and it pretty much changed everything for her. It was understandable, really. Roo was her very best friend and....well, his kissing didn't suck. So......
Highlights of the term: Professor Myers' crazy wardrobe choices! Dueling club dramas, in which Liv lost interest for some reason. Dramaz with the Wolf Pack; Bentley Moore, specifically. "All girl" slumber party in Moaning Mrytle's loo! NO BOYS ALLOWED (to cheer up Char). Henry and Myrtle sitting in a tree....K I S S I N G.
Year Three: With the summer being much more eventful, and her spending so much time with a taken Rooney Bronwyn, Olivia found herself in a truly sticky spot. Roo had yet to break up with his (then) girlfriend, Minnie Darling...and because of that, the tensions between the two seemed to remind at maximum level; spilling over into the first part of the term. It was the very real concept of 'I want to kiss you, but I can't kiss you because you AREN'T mine'. Through the angst, Liv managed to carry on with her daily school life. She even befriended a boy who she'd met over the previous term's Christmas break, Takeru Asakura. With everything uncertain between herself and Rooney, Liv allowed herself to become close with the new Slytherin. And that's when things got really interesting. Amid her aggressive attempts to stay on top in lessons (which she managed, thank you very much), she found herself truly torn between the two boys. Rooney, who'd been capable of taking care of her emotional needs, and Tak, who was very much a physical Slytherin. BUT...due to Roo's inability to settle down without testing his potential girlfriends, the two had a very dramatic, obnoxiously loud falling out; nearly ruining their bestfriendship forever. While they were split, Liv and Tak got even closer, mainly because Liv is a very social creature, and requires closeness with others. It didn't last long, however, as Roo and Liv fail to stay away from each other. Ever...which got them into this mess in the first place. In the end, Olivia and Rooney (Hogwarts' most dramatic pair) made it OFFICIAL. Switching over to lessons and grades, Olivia managed to stay on top in several lessons this term, and even picked up a new appreciation for History of Magic, under Professor Newton's tutelage. As well as Ancient Runes, though Professor Sokolov claimed to dislike ALL Gryffindors. Charms earned a special place in her heart, too, as the Professor's name was, indeed, GASTON. If you immediately thought that Olivia and Rooney took advantage of this, you'd be correct. Also, FAVORITE CLASS of the term goes to Muggle Studies and them watching the film The Wizard of Oz. Throughout, Liv dramatically enacted scenes and sang the songs. #TheatraBaby
Highlights of the term: Earning TOP POINTS for Gryffindor House and winning FIRST PLACE in her age division in Dueling Club (which she'd been working towards for THREE YEARS). Takeru Asakura becoming vital to her, on various levels. Piffy Wedding date with Jacen Reed. Rooney Bronwyn becoming her first ever BOYFRIEND.
Year Four: In progress...
