## Personal Life

Born in Cambridge, England, to the young pureblood family X, Oliver was adopted at birth by an older pureblood couple, X and X after it became clear the young couple wasn't ready for parenthood. Brought to the Wizarding Hamlet of X outside of Cambridge, he grew up until the age of six surrounded by witches, wizards and magical creatures. With the ongoing bigotry of the pureblood community, Oliver's parents began to grow wary of keeping him in a potentially hateful environment, and decided to relocate to the Muggle town of Norwich, England. Now surrounded entirely by Muggles and Muggle culture, Oliver settled into his new life well and quickly learned why it is so important to not hold hatred towards Muggles. Upon arriving in Norwich, he moved in across the street from his soon to be best friend, Trent Laywood and his mother June Laywood.

## Hogwarts

### First Year

Oliver, having taken to potions incredibly early in life, spent the majority of his first year being engrossed by his potions studies. It didn't take long for faculty to figure out that he'd much rather have his face in a potions or herbology textbook than any other, which caused issues to arise in his overall knowledge of general spells. By the end of his first term, he was far behind his peers when it came to spell casting, however, he was constantly testing in higher than even some seventh years when it came to potions. By the end of his first year, he was able to execute without issue a solid set of four basic spells, including *Lumos, Nox, Incendio,* and *Reparo*. He also made an impressive feat of teaching himself *Aguamenti* to use during his potions research, begging the question to faculty if he was bad at magic, or simply only wanted to learn what he thought necessary to spend the time on.

### Second Year

   Come second year, Oliver was much more focused on keeping his grades above failing levels. Though still showing a lack of interest in the overall curriculum for his year, he managed to excel in his classes and relationships with his professors. So much so that he was nominated for placement as a Selected Second Year, and successfully winning the faculty vote along with second year Hufflepuff Amanda Reynolds. This helped him gain favour when come the end of year exams. He ended up showing that the burst of academic achievements was short lived, as he came in testing with some of the lowest numbers in his year in every subject outside of Potions and Herbology.

### Seventh Year

Perhaps the most difficult year for Oliver was his seventh year. This was the year he was assigned to be the Student Assistant to Professor Snape during his role as the Matron's Assistant in the Hospital Wing. Balancing work and study was nearly impossible, and he quickly found himself falling behind and at risk of failing Defense Against the Dark Arts. On top of the stress he faced with his studies was the heavier workload from the pandemic they were in in the midst of, having never caught up to his peers when it came to magic, Oliver found himself struggling when he needed these skills the most. However, even with all of his roadblocks and gaps in knowledge, his test scores for potions and herbology were still the highest in the school. He also caught on incredibly quickly during his time studying Dream Vampires.
