Oliver Lucien Duvall

*'I will protect you for ever. I promise.' - Oliver to Olivia*

## Personality and traits

Oliver is a playful young boy, despite his past he tries to always be positive and make the best out of his life. He cares a lot about his sister and does everything to keep her safe. He likes to fool around and be with his friends. He isn’t very good at understanding sarcasm what sometimes would make him look dumb.

## Physical appearance

You want to know what my brother looks like? Where shall I begin? It's pretty obvious who got the handsome genes...! Now without any jokes, Oliver is a - ... well, he's not an "ugly boy". He has brown hair and brown eyes like our father had. The smile on the other hand he has from our mother. Those who know him longer can recognise the playful smile on his face. As a little boy, his cheeks were enormously inflated, giving him a round appearance. His eyes looked like brown beads from the rounded face. It seems as if puberty has done him a favour by giving him a tighter jawline. Some of us are just lucky. Don't ask me how, but it seems that some girls have really fallen for his looks. I hear some of them talk about his charming look that moves around the classroom, making their hearts jump. Can you believe it? Well not me! - Olivia about her brother

## Backstory

It began as a usual night. Our foster dad would be out drinking and our foster mom would take us to bed without any food. Olivia was already sleeping but my eyes were wide open. I knew that at this time our foster dad would come home from the bar. It could go two ways.. Or he was too drunk to walk and function so he would go to bed right aways. Or he would be drunk and mad, and ofcourse it would be our fault he lost at darts. I kept on listening, listening for the front door to open. Olivia just turned six, and I would turn 8 in about half a year. Our lives were bad, our real parents? We never knew who they were. We lived with our foster parents for about 3 years now. The whole neighborhood knew what was going on in this house. But no one would be brave enough to do something about it. I was just thinking about that one time our neighbor told me everything would be alright. I saw the fear in her eyes and knew it wasn’t going to be alright because of her. She couldn’t do anything. I freeze and my thoughts stop. I hear the front door open.. And footsteps going upstairs.

I jump out of my bed and Olivia shocks out of her sleep. The door goes open with a bang and I see our foster dad being furious and drunk. He walks towards me, I see his veins banging in his head. His eyes are red from anger and saliva is drooling down his mouth. “You little shit!” I feel his hand slapping my face and after that a hand burning on my cheek. “You two never should have been born!” He grabs my arm and throws me aside. Right after that he walks towards me again. I felt his feet hitting my stomach and almost threw up. “Stop it! Stop it please!” I hear Olivia scream. But this only made him more angry, I felt something on my face again but this time it wasn’t a hand. It was his fist I would feel this time. For a moment I thought everything would go black. I could taste the blood coming from my nose dripping into my mouth. But right at that moment he stops. “Shut up you little shit!” I hear him scream towards Olivia. I see him walking towards her! “Noo!” I crawl towards him and grap his leg. The only thing I remember after that is feeling his feet kick me away and after that Olivia screaming in pain. After he kicks me away I feel a heavy pain in my chest. While I hear Olivia cry and scream, wanting to help her.. Everything goes black.

**(Seer Dream)** “Come with us.. We will take care of you both. We won’t hurt you, I promise” I look at the man, he has black hair and a sweet smile on his face. Behind him stands a woman, she’s dressed in black robes. She’s looking less kind than the man, she looks at Olivia with an almost grumpy face. But something in all her hardness tells me she’s a good woman. The man turns towards Olivia. “It’s going to be alright, I promise!” Just when I want to come with them the world goes blurry. I feel a heavy pain in my nose and ribs. “Wai- Wait for us..!” Is what I try to say to the people who want to take us. I had such a good feeling with them.

The pain is getting worse and I gasp for air. When I open my eyes again I see Olivia sitting next to me. She’s drawing and eating a cookie. I look around the room. We are at the magical hospital.. I’ve been here before.. Olivia runs towards me when she sees I’m awake and gives me a big hug. We both squirm in pain when she hugs me. I look at her and see her eye being blue and her arm is in some kind of bandage from being broken. The next few days we would be spending at the magical hospital. There would be some kind of investigation about what happened to us. Or foster parents told the staff we both fell from the stairs. But our lovely nurse didn’t believe it. For the first time in a long time we were happy. We could play, eat and sleep without any fear. But after a few days this would be over. The investigation wouldn’t have enough evidence against our foster parents. The nurse came to us in tears. “I’m so sorry.. I did all I could.. But tomorrow you both go back to your foster parents.” We all cried for a long time.

After crying Olivia was exhausted and she fell right asleep. I could see her move heavily meaning she would have a nightmare. We couldn’t go back was the only thing I was thinking. One of us would get killed there. Then I got a very impulsive plan. I jumped out of my bed and got my backpack. Inside the backpack was a book of spells I stole from my foster dad a long time ago. I walked towards the closet and got all Olivia’s and mine clothes. Then I woke her up. “Come Olivia, We are never going back. We need to run..” That night we sneaked out of the magical hospital together.

Our lives would completely change. We were living on the streets for quite some time now. We didn’t trust people and not only our lives changed but so did we. Olivia became tough, she didn’t cry anymore and even in pain she would fight herself through everything. I became very protective over my sister although she would be handling herself very well. We stole food from the markets and slept under a bridge. Enough people would be looking for us.. But with no succes. We would be living like this for about a year now. We still had the spellbook I stole and we have been practicing spells with a wand we stole from someone.

Until now this all was without any success. But this night would be different. It was winter and very cold. Everything was wet so our fire wouldn’t burn. For one moment I thought this would be the night we both die. But just when I was about to give up I heard Olivia scream; “Incendio!” I see a fire burn our wet wood and feel the warmth coming from it. “I did it Oliver! I did it!” Days went by and Olivia teached me the Incendio spell. Every night we would have a nice fire which would keep us warm. Our lives would be a little bit easier now. We still had to do with creepy people on the street and the authorities looking for us. One day we saw our foster mom asking around if anyone had seen us. But we were smarter now and knew how to keep away from them. We kept living on the streets for another few weeks. We did travel around and never stayed in one place for too long. It was a long night again, we couldn’t sleep and started reading in our spell book together.

That day we stole from a bakery and we were eating some really nice buns. It seemed like we were almost happy. Olivia went silent and told me to shut up. We heard footsteps coming our way and wanted to hide. But it was too late. “Wait! We won’t hurt you!” I hear a man's voice say. When they walk into the light I get a flashback to my dream. I knew them.. But at the same time I did not.. “Come with us.. We will take care of you both. We won’t hurt you, I promise.” After some talking with the two we decided to trust them. It was worth a shot. We couldn’t be living on the streets our whole life. When we arrived they gave us a big room with two nice beds. They gave us a few days to adjust to our new home but after that we had to meet the others. It was a big house full of kids, they told us here we would learn everything about magic. And although we were still a bit careful we did know this would be our new home.

## Powers and Abilities

A Seer is a gifted wizard or witch who has the ability to see into the future with their Inner Eye. Seers predict prophecies, which are then recorded and stored in the Hall of Prophecy in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries. Often as a Seer, seeing into the future is incredibly difficult because of the complexity of every single action and their consequences. Some Seers see more than others in first glance, or may be more experienced than most. Being a Seer is not something someone can teach themselves. It’s a gift passed down from previous ancestors. Some Seers did not have control over their Seeing.

## Possessions

##### An unknown wand.

On his time at the streets he and his sister managed to steal a wand. Most wands won't listen when being stolen but right when they stole the wand the wand chose them. Once they got to the school Adrian offered to buy him a new wand. He did not want a new wand and kept his own stolen wand.
