Professor Alphard E. Loomis

==Academic and Professional Career==
Despite his aloof, critical nature, Professor Loomis is widely recognised as a master of his Potions craft, with other strengths in Alchemy and Necromancy - so much so that he runs advanced Necromancy sessions after school hours, exclusively for the older students who wish to branch out. 
He also has the ability to substitute teach for Defense Against the Dark Arts, but for unknown reasons, he prefers to avoid doing so.
==Personal Life==
=== Childhood ===
Born Alphard Errol Loomis on October 23rd, 1980 (making him 39 years old in 2019), he comes from a Half-Blood Family. His father, who came from a Pureblood background, was obsessed with preserving the little reputation they had. 
=== Hogwarts ===
As a result, Loomis had quite an isolated time at Hogwarts, forbidden from making friends with certain people just because of their bloodline. By his third year at Hogwarts, he had become quite the bully, angry and reckless.
He is said to have had one truly close friend throughout his Hogwarts years, a student in Ravenclaw; though Loomis had feelings for this student, he reportedly perished in The Battle of Hogwarts with no knowledge of them. Loomis wasn't aware of his friend's death until the battle was finished, having been sent to the dungeons, but the trauma of this experience made him re-evaluate his ways.
He returned to Hogwarts as a Professor in 2019 with the intention of amending his past, and continuing to pursue the subject he loves dearly.
