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.
