## Biography

### Early life (1800 - 1812)

Ormond Fleamont was born into the pure-blood Fleamont family on 18 November, 1800, at the turn of the century. He was born in Hogsmeade village, which is the only all-wizarding village in Britain. Hogsmeade in the early 19th century was not quite the picturesque little village of cottages and shops, as it is seen today. Rather, it was much smaller, and filled with many more houses, all of which were transformed into businesses as residency appeared to decline.

#### Hogwarts years (1812 - 1819)

Ormond Fleamont received his Hogwarts letter in 1812, and began attending school that September. He was a member of Gryffindor House, like many Fleamonts before him, including both his father and grandfather.

He completed his Hogwarts education in 1819.

### Later life (1819 - 1876)

He met and married Bathsheba Orpington, an English witch, who had moved to Hogsmeade to find work after finishing her schooling at Hogwarts, in 1822. She came from the village of Godric's Hollow, Somerset, and had been in his year. He was twenty-two. She was also twenty-two.

They had three children together, including Ottoline, Elowen, and Anselm Fleamont. Their daughter Ottoline would go on to marry Wendellin Brown, an English wizard of a bit more than modest means. But their other daughter, Elowen, would later marry Ophelius Potter, an English wizard who was very rich.

Their son, Anselm, coincidentally also married an English person, Mairwen Broadmoor. They, however, continued to live in Hogsmeade, while their daughters moved extremely far away to the south.

#### Death

Ormond Fleamont died on 22 September, 1876, at the age of 75, in Hogsmeade village.

## Etymology

The name Fleamont is in itself derived from *Fleaman*, which comes from *Fleeman*, which comes from an old Anglo-French word, "fleming." This word comes from the Old French word "flamanc," which means "a Fleming."

The family of Flemmens, later described as "Fleamont," of the "Mountain," descended from a nobleman of Flanders, who, at a very early period came over to England, and took up his abode at Stoke-flemen in Devonshire, of which he was lord. In the days of Richard I. One of his posterity held in this place by the tenure of knight-service, seven knight's fees, and was probably the founder of this church, which still bears his name.

A muggle-born wizard was born into this family sometime in the middle ages, and when he left his family forever to attend Hogwarts, he established a homestead in the highlands of Scotland, thereby changing the family name irrecoverably to Fleamont.
