**William Charlus Cygnus Potter** (b. 7th of March 1952) is an English pure-blood wizard. He is the only child and son of Charlus and Dorea Potter (née Black). William Potter is a Seer, a rare and powerful wizard with the ability to see into the future. He is a skilled Diviner, able to read signs and omens to predict events yet to come. Born into the wizarding world, William's gifts were recognized at a young age and he was trained in the art of Divination at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Despite his talents, being a Seer is mentally taxing for William and it has made him emotionally distant and reserved. Despite this, he continues to use his abilities to help others, working closely with the Ministry of Magic and advising powerful wizards and witches on important decisions.

William's reputation as a respected and reliable Seer has earned him many admirers and he is considered one of the most powerful and skilled Diviners of his generation. However, despite his success, William finds it difficult to form close relationships due to the constant pressure of his visions and the emotional toll they take on him. Despite this, he remains dedicated to his craft and is determined to use his abilities for the greater good.

## Appearance

William is a boy of Pure-blood, British heritage with pallid skin tone with an overall aristocratic and stately body type. He has brown hair that is styled in a messy, yet stylish manner, with a tendency to fall into his eyes. His green eyes are sharp and intense, giving the impression of a keen intelligence and a deep inner strength. He has a strong jawline and high cheekbones, which gives him a determined and confident look. He is of average height and has a lean, athletic build, likely from his time playing Quidditch.

In terms of posture, William carries himself with a sense of confidence and authority. He stands tall and straight, with his shoulders back and his head held high. He moves with a sense of purpose and grace, radiating a sense of calm and control. He is a person who is comfortable in his own skin, and it shows in the way he holds himself. He gives off an aura of stoicism, which is fitting of his personality.

## Childhood

"*We all have a purpose in life, but it is up to us to discover it for ourselves. It is through our struggles and our journey that we find meaning and direction.*"
―**William Potter**
William had a difficult childhood due to his unusual dreams and visions. From a young age, he experienced strange and vivid dreams that he couldn't explain. His father, Charlus Potter, was a high-ranking member of the Ministry of Magic, and was rarely home. This made it difficult for William to confide in his father about his dreams, as he feared he would think he was crazy and send him to St. Mungos. As he grew older, the dreams became more and more vivid, and he began to recognize that they were premonitions of things that would happen in the future. He started to keep a journal of these dreams and visions, but still never told anyone about them.

## Life at Hogwarts

    William Potter's early years at Hogwarts were marked by a sense of discovery and growth. He made close friends with fellow students Percy Black and Desmond Parker, and even fell in love with Olivia Harrington. He was also a talented and skilled Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, known for his speed and agility on the field.

However, despite his many successes, William's early years at Hogwarts were also marked by challenges. As a Seer, he was prone to blackouts, which he struggled to understand and control. It wasn't until his third year that he discovered his abilities and began to come to terms with the unique challenges and responsibilities that came with them.

In his fourth year, William's abilities as a Seer were put to the test when he had a vision of a terrorist attack on Hogwarts and the wizarding world. The vision portrayed a devastating series of attacks made by extremists against the muggle population, which quickly spread across the entire globe. The Wizarding World was quickly radicalized, and entire cities were invaded, and even magical schools were brought down in vicious acts of terrorism. In one stroke, the wizarding world had collapsed into shambles, and the muggles were put up with a crisis the scale of which has never been seen in the history of mankind.

### The attack on Hogwarts

As the attack on Hogwarts began, William was among the many students who were caught off guard. Spells flew past him as he ran through the castle, dodging debris and trying to find a way to safety. He reunited with his friends Percseus Black and Desmond Parker in the Grand Staircase, but their search for Olivia Harrington was fruitless. The roof of the Great Hall came crashing down, injuring many students, and it was clear that the castle was under siege.

In the chaos, William and his friends stepped up to help guide and protect their fellow students. They led a group of students through the castle and into the Forbidden Forest, where they were confronted by unknown wizards who were intent on attacking them. The ensuing duel was legendary, taking ages as William and his friends fought fiercely to defend themselves and the students under their protection.

Despite the overwhelming odds, they were able to defeat the wizards and secure a temporary hiding place. Despite the devastation of the attacks, William was fortunate to survive, but he lost many of his friends in the process, including Olivia Harrington who is still missing. This tragedy deeply affected William, and he struggled to come to terms with the loss of his loved ones and the destruction that he had predicted but couldn't prevent. It turned him to be more reserved and distant, unwilling to become close to anybody else in order to avoid the anguish of losing them again.

## Personality

William Potter is a complex and nuanced character, with a distinct personality shaped by his background and experiences. As a member of the ancient and powerful Potter family, William has likely grown up with a strong sense of responsibility and a desire to live up to the expectations of his family name. At a young age, William was a rebellious and independent spirit, unwilling to conform to the expectations placed upon him. However, as he has grown older, he has become more reserved and withdrawn, choosing to spend more time alone. This change may be a result of the mental and emotional toll that his abilities as a Seer take on him, as well as the pressure to live up to the reputation of his family.

William is known for his calm, cool, and collected demeanor. He is able to stay calm in difficult situations and is not easily swayed by emotions or external factors. This is likely a result of his stoic nature, which is characterized by self-control, rationality, and emotional detachment. This can be both a strength and a weakness for William, as it allows him to make clear-headed decisions, but can also make it difficult for him to form close personal connections.

Despite his stoic nature, William is deeply committed to using his abilities for the greater good and is highly respected for his wisdom and insight. He is a powerful and skilled Diviner, able to provide valuable advice and guidance to those in need. However, the weight of his abilities and the emotional toll they take on him may also lead him to be emotionally unavailable, guarded and distant.

Overall, William Potter is a complex and multi-faceted character, with a strong sense of responsibility, a stoic and reserved personality and a deep commitment to using his abilities for the greater good. His secluded nature may come from the emotional toll that his abilities take on him, but it's also a way for him to keep his focus and make accurate predictions.

## Visions and prophecies

"*..William is standing in the middle of the courtyard. The Hogwarts castle is now in ruins, smoke and ash filling the air. Its once majestic towers crumbled and its walls blackened by flames. He saw students and professors running in panic, their screams piercing the air as they tried to flee the destruction. He saw the Great Hall, the heart of the castle, reduced to rubble, its ceiling collapsed and its walls cracked..*"
