Professor Artemis C. Moon

==Academic and Professional Career==
Professor Moon is an excellent duelist, but he truly excels at front line fighting. His ability and speed allow him to handle multiple enemies at once and he is truly a sight to behold in battle. He is an expert in unusual magic styles and adaptive tactics.
Professor Moon’s older sister, Genesis, was an Auror of notable skill; excelling in both duels and front line wizard fighting. Using music’s rhythm and cadence to time her impressive assaults, she was nicknamed the ‘Syren Auror’ because music was always present as she trained. She graduated from Hogwarts and had begun an illustrious career when the Battle of Hogwarts took place. Before the battle, she told Artemis, who was still in school, to stay safe and far away from the fighting. As the battle unfolded she was an unstoppable foe to the Death Eaters. Artemis, ever the protector, wanted to help, so he rushed into battle and quickly found his sister, but a Death Eater caught him off guard and used the Imperius Curse, forcing him to attack her. It was a blow she never saw coming, and never recovered from. His sister died by his own spell. The Battle was eventually won but Artemis never forgave himself for the death of Genesis, nor did his family, who practically disowned him when they learned the truth.
He went on to become an Auror himself and was even the head of investigation in America.
Years later, after receiving a nearly fatal blow protecting his students and colleagues, he finally came to terms with the death of his sister and the role he played in it.
==Personal Life==
Artemis is a caring individual who is extremely protective of the Hogwarts faculty and students. They confide in him often.
Artemis is one of the very few wizards proficient enough to dual wield and he is a very skilled pyromancer. He also can summon a ‘void zone’ that moves with him in battle. This zone increases his own abilities while disrupting the magical energy of those around him, somewhat weakening their abilities. He can only sustain this zone for short periods of time, but while in this zone his already impressive skills are increased substantially. Of course, in a formal duel this type of spell is illegal, meaning that he can only use this in an actual battle. Despite being a top tier duelist, Artemis has yet to beat the the top duelist at the school, Professor Raine, a fact which could possibly change if he were permitted use of his void spell in that duel.
Artemis believes very strongly in the power of creativity and the positive effect it has on wizards and muggles alike. He believes that by showing his students how to be creative through music they will better magic users.
He has a bit of a rivalry with Professor Raine.
