WHY

Oliver’s first name comes from his mothers side of the family. It was his great-grandfathers name and is a name that has been given to boys in the family trough generations. Giving the boy the name only seemed right to his parents. His second name honours all of its different meanings. Ollie’s parents had difficulties conceiving a child, so when they found out they were pregnant they were grateful beyond measure. Oliver’s dad grew up on the beach and wanted the same for his son, hence choosing a name that also had a connection to the ocean he loved so dear.​

ZODIAC

Gemini. The third house of the horoscope and the zodiac, Gemini, is all about intelligence and communication. You being born under this sign means you have a talent for and love using your mind and expressing yourself fully. As a Gemini, you are a mental bower bird, and take and interest in all sorts of different things. Anyone who engages in a quick-witted banter with you will win your heart for sure. Geminis also seem to excel in sports that require a strategical and intellectual approach. People always love your company, your adaptability makes you interesting. You are the type of person friends and relatives turn to for advice.​

HOUSE ASTROLOGY

Gryffindor Gemini. You'll need track shoes to keep up with these Geminis. They have so much energy that they exhaust nearly everyone, save other Gryffindor Geminis. In class, they love to get into debates with the professor. Out of class, they love to get into trouble. These Gryffindor Geminis are as easily stirred by romantic dreams and noble causes as any other Gryffindors, although their involvement is more mental than practical - they lack the fortitude for battle and are best left passing propaganda to the real warriors. Expect a large number of them to work for the Daily Prophet after graduation ​

ELEMENT

🜁 Air. The element of Air rules the third, seventh and eleventh houses. Air is the marker of intelligence. Air signs are also about communication, these individuals are alert, curious and perceptive. Balance is important to people connected to the air sign, as they will try to see all sides of something before acting. Air manifests itself in a most humane way. Those influenced by air can truly wear another’s shoes. They are objective, cooperative and really want to help make a better world. There’s no prejudice with these individuals, just a bright and shiny idealism that can accomplish much.​

PLANET

☿ Mercury. Mercury is the nearest planet to the sun and thereby seen as most in tune with it. Despite being the smallest planet in the solar system, it is the most dense. Mercury represents communication, rationality, analysing, adaptability and variability. It is through mercury that we are able to better understand the world around us, functioning as a bridge between a person and the world at large.​

OVERALL PERSONALITY

Ollie is a bubbly, caring optimistic young boy. He aims to live his life to the fullest and would always want to help to make the world a better place. He absolutely adores animals and his face will light up whenever he spots one. He’s not really the adventurous type, but he is far more brave than his soft exterior lets to believe at first sight. Ollie is very observant. He will quite quickly make out the little quirks people tend to have and he absolutely loves that. It’s the small things in life that often grant him little moments of pure happiness, pushing away everything that might be bothering him at those times. He's a loyal kid and a true carer, he will always want to look out for his friends and make sure they are a-okay. He also loves to joke around. Ollie isn't the smartest kid around, but he is a pretty decent learner and knows he has to put in some effort to keep up sometimes. One thing he struggles with a lot are numbers and the things surrounding them. As a Muggleborn Ollie has no knowledge whatsoever about the wizarding world, or just magic in general. The fact that it's al real and exists is something that excited him and he can't wait to learn more about it. Yet, it's also something that frightens him, as he's entering this whole world that has always been there, yet he knew nothing about.​

AMORTENTIA

Ollie will definitely smell a salty sea-breeze, as it is his favourite smell in the whole entire world and not only reminds him of home, but also of the place he loves the most: the beach. The amortentia would also bear the smell of rain after a hot day and of his mum’s perfume. Ollie and his mum are very close and she is by far the most important person in his life.​

MIRROR OF ERISED

He would see himself excelling in something he loves to do. Whether it'd be surfing or photography.​

PATRONUS

Fox Terrier. This is a small yet fearless dog that loves being outside and around people. If you have this Patronus, you are spunky and loyal. They work well in teams, so when teaming up with other Patronuses, you can’t be beaten. ​

HOBBIES

Ollie enjoys skateboarding and surfing. He's also a big fan of muggle photography and will always have a camera in his bag no matter where he goes or why he's heading there. He keeps his photographs either put up on his wall, or neatly organized in an album. They mean a lot to him and he will always treat them with care.​

​

EDUCATION

Hogwarts New Zealand​

HOUSE

Gryffindor House​

THOUGHTS

Ollie has no idea what it means to be sorted into Gryffindor, or what qualities he possesses that have lead him to be sorted into this specific house. He'll learn more with time. He's both excited, yet also slightly terrified about what his time at Hogwarts will be like.​

SORTING

Oliver still couldn't believe he wasn't dreaming and all of this was actually real. Everything leading up to this point had seemed to have gone by in a blur of events and places that had all seemed surreal to him. It had been too much to truly take it in and let his mind go over it. To say he was excited about attending the school would be an understatement, yet the boy was slightly terrified as well. Terrified of being in a place he knew nothing about, surrounded by magic, which he only recently learned was an actual thing, and having to live there as well. He couldn't just run home to his mom at the end of the day to tell her everything that had happened, no matter how much he wanted to. It would be difficult for him to be away from home for such a long time, but the young boy remained optimistic and tried not to let his fears overshadow his excitement.​

Ollie had never seen anything like the castle, nor the hall he was now finding himself in. Surrounded by other kids he could feel his stomache start to twist as the ceremony started. He had already been nervous about the whole ordeal, but this so called sorting thing made the situation even more nerve wrecking. The boy had no clue about what it meant to be sorted into any of the houses, but it had to mean something. Otherwise all those other kids wouldn't react the way they did, would they? At the mention of his name Ollie tried to push away the nerves, forcing a smile on his face as he started making his way forward. This school had been around for a long time right? Which meant their system somehow had to work? It felt weird, but he had no other choice than to put his faith into this strange, talking hat to place him somewhere he would fit in. Well, here goes nothing. ​

EARLY YEARS

Oliver was born on the 25th of May 2038 to Emilia Williams (née Bennett) and Joshua Williams in Sydney, Australia. His parents had been struggling to get pregnant and were extremely grateful when they had found out they would be getting a baby. Oliver is an only child and has always gotten more than enough attention from his parents, even though they both had full-time jobs. His mother works in a zoo and would often take him there, or to other wildlife parks, to teach him more about the animals and preservation struggles. His father was a police officer, but had a great love for the ocean. He would always take Oliver to go surfing in his spare time and Ollie always had a great time being out in the ocean with his dad. Unfortunately, just a couple of weeks after Ollie's seventh birthday his father died in a car accident. It had left him heartbroken, but he continued to visit the ocean because it was where he felt most in touch with his dad. Ever since the accident it had just been Ollie and his mom, who had now become the single most important person in his life. He and his mom lived a rather ordinary life, which was completely shaken up when they found out that Oliver had magic inside of him. Even though it was hard on both of them that he would have to leave home for longer periods of time, Ollie's mom remained his biggest supporter and couldn't be more proud of her son. The boy himself is excited to attend Hogwarts and learn more about what it means to be a wizard.​
