Ever since Olivia and her younger brother Peter were younger, her mum began their wizard training and teachings. Being a half-blood, Olivia's muggle father learned along with them. If there was a chance that they won't be a witch or wizard, mum said, Olivia and Peter would still know everything about the magical world.
Olivia always hoped that mum was wrong. She desperately wanted to be a witch and the whole world was expecting her to be. Her mum was one of the greatest witches of her age and helped to create new spells and potions each year to benefit the wizarding world while also being the wizarding worlds most famous Auror. She was always in the Prophet, where dad commented on the moving pictures, and it wasn't long until Olivia's 12th birthday in the month of April.

A week before her birthday, it arrived. The letter that would change everything.
"We have a surprise for you downstairs Olivia." Dad said with a gleeful expression on his face. She jumped up from her bed and ran down the stairs. There was her mum holding it. The letter.
Olivia carefully picked up the letter from her hands but immediately tore it open. Inside were the fateful words that changed everything.
She had been accepted into Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Olivia said goodbye to her parents and her brother at the platform where they were extremely proud of her. Other parents who knew of mum were gaping at her in awe. It wasn't long till the Daily Prophet got wind of Olivia's acceptance. They titled their article "Olivia, half-blood daughter of Cassandra Graves, has been accepted!"
She made her way into the train, waving one last time at her parents and Peter then turned to find a seat. The only compartment left partially empty was with a boy with black hair and glasses and a red headed boy. She opened the door and slightly walk in.
"Hello. Any chance I could sit here? The other compartments are full."
"By all means" the boy with black hair states.
"I'm Olivia by the way. Olivia Graves" she said while sticking out her hand to the black haired boy first.
"He shakes it politely while the boy with red hair stares in shock. He shakes Olivia's hand slowly with his mouth wide open. "Bloody hell. I'm with two famous people right now! I'm Ronald Weasley" he says ecstatically. "He's Harry Potter!" He points to the black haired boy.
"My goodness! Harry Potter, the boy who lived! It's nice to meet you!"
"Thanks" he said with eyes transfixed on the floor. "I take it that you're someone very important in this world too?"
"Her mum is Cassandra Graves! The worlds best Auror!" Ron interrupted before Olivia could speak.
"Don't worry. I feel just as uncomfortable as you, Harry. Don't let people treat you different because of what happened to you as a baby. I don't let my mum's reputation weigh in on my individuality" she says to comfort poor Harry. He looks at her strangely for a moment then smiles.
The rest of the ride goes on well. They all spoke and ate candy together. A bushy haired girl came in at some point and she was very fascinated by Olivia's mother's findings. Olivia soon became good friends with Hermione Granger while explaining how her mum came to discover everything she knew. Olivia also spoke to Hermione about how having House elves were barbaric and she took a peculiar interest in that specific topic. It wasn't long before they all reached their new school.
••••••••
They waited in the hallway patiently talking amongst each other when a voice rang out "So it's true. Harry Potter and Olivia Graves have come to Hogwarts" his voice was loud and demanding. Olivia desperately wanted to sink into the crowd. Upon seeing the boy come out from the crowd, Olivia immediately recognized him. His platinum blonde hair and grey stormy eyes matched his father's exactly.
"Draco Malfoy" Olivia murmured to Harry.
"It's too bad you're a half-blood, Olivia. You really could've belonged as a Slytherin and outshine Weasley. But here you are, making friends with him." Draco smirked.
"Oh please Draco" Olivia scoffed before she could stop the words from leaving her mouth. "At least I don't let my blood status define my attitude. You make pure bloods seem like nasty narcissists."
Ron barely suppressed his laugh and looked up at Draco's red face. He opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Professor McGonagall stating that they were ready to announce the houses of each student.
"Olivia breathed in deeply and walked into the Great Hall, ready to start her new life./p
