Hannah O'Leary (AA)

Hannah O'Leary (AA)
Hannah O'Leary was born to Francis and Olivia O'Leary on 16 October, 1991, becoming the younger sister of Jacob and Sebastian. When Hannah was three, her younger sister Elladora was born. She was amongst the first to participate in the Auror Academy - a training program set up by Harry Potter for aspiring young Aurors - and eventually became one due to her prior training.

Early Life (1992 - 2003)
Hannah O'Leary was born to Francis and Olivia O'Leary on 16 October, 1991.

Hogwarts Life (2003 - 2009)
In 2002, Hannah received her Hogwarts letter and was sorted into Slytherin house upon arrival.

In her fifth year, Hannah took her OWL exams and achieved Oustanding in all her subjects except for Ancient Runes where she received Exceeds Expectations - to her disappointment. Due to her top grades, Hannah had top grades predicted for her NEWTs which she would be taking in her seventh year.

In the summer of 2007, Hannah's mum persuaded the Daily Prophet to award her an internship, which she thoroughly enjoyed as it allowed her to have journalism as another option if her Auror career didn't work out.

Auror Academy (2008)
In the summer of 2008, Hannah and many others were invited to join the Auror Academy - a new Auror training program initiated by Harry Potter. Upon arrival, she took a seat next to Maisie Cattermole and the two quickly became friends. The two paired together for the first duelling practice of the academy after watching a demonstration between Harry Potter, Jeremy Jefferson, Amaris Cana and two unnamed students.

The following day, when asked if Harry Potter would remember her from his visits to Hogwarts, Hannah shared that she isn't very noticeable in a crowd. She recognised Ariana Martens from Hogwarts as the girl who won a Charms Award at the end of the school year. During lunch, she sat with her new friends: Maisie Cattermole, Ariana Martens, Amaris Cana, Clara Mack, and Adara Shafiq.

On the Wednesday, Hannah expressed her disliking for Charles Alderwood by groaning when Maisie announced he would be teaching them that day. She, Maisie and Ariana were being taught by Auror Selwyn first and they all agreed that she was a good teacher but not as nice as Auror Potter. Hannah attempted to save Maisie from accidentally bad-mouthing Alderwood in front of him but was unsuccessful, leading to her best friend getting into trouble. However, when Maisie returned she was delighted that she wasn't in trouble after all thanks to Auror Garrett, who Hannah was yet to meet.

Unfornunately, Alderwood returned to punish Maisie on the Thursday, bringing her to the office of Auror Potter, where she overheard a private conversation between Auror Potter and Minister Shacklebolt discussing how 'Auror Thomas' saved Auror Potter from dying. When Maisie shared what she'd learnt with her friends, Hannah, Clara and Amaris immediately began planning ways for them to sneak in and discover what Potter and Shacklebolt were talking about. Hannah became suspicious of whatever Harry Potter was hiding, assuming the position of 'detective' in the group, claiming that secrets always make a great story. Despite Maisie stopping them going ahead with their plan, Hannah was eager to find out who Auror Thomas was and so suggested searching the Cabinet of Auror Awards. Whilst they didn't find the face behind the name, Hannah and the group befriended Ignatius Twilfitt after freeing their robes from being caught in the wall. Later that day, Hannah and the group attended a class with Auror Potter where he was planning to teach the Patronus Charm. However, the lesson was interrupted by Alderwood who brought Auror Potter outside for a private conversation. Using an Extendable Ear, Hannah and the group listened in on the heated conversation outside the door. When Auror Potter returned, he was fairly certain that his students had been listening but didn't call them out or punish them for it. However, he did ask Amaris to wait behind, which Hannah and her friends believed to be as punishment for eavesdropping and quickly jumped to their friend's defence.

Hannah and her friends gathered in the dormitory she shared with Maisie, Ariana and another student at midnight to catch up with each other after their lessons. They started their midnight feast with dessert as the AA program did not serve dessert. Hannah shared how her mum didn't want her to come at all because she was scared that she may not eat anything due to the Ministry's failure to provide decent food. When Amaris said that Auror Potter was speaking to her about her plans for after graduation, Hannah was confused as she was also graduating but had not yet been spoken to. She chose to ignore her suspicions on Amaris to instead mock their teachers with Clara, calling Fernsby a "spineless bozo" and Alderwood "so whiny." Although, when it became obvious that Amaris was lying about her meeting with Auror Potter after revealing that Auror Garrett was also there, Hannah returned to her suspicions but decided not to act upon them yet. Hannah revealed her disappointment in her OWL grades after achieving Outstanding in all her subjects but Ancient Runes, where she achieved an Exceeds Expectations.

During breakfast on Friday morning, Hannah and the others began speculating about what Amaris' meeting was really about, suggesting a family emergency or even that Amaris was a werewolf in disguise. Hannah decided that they were no closer to knowing as they were before, just as Amaris came down to join them. Once classes were over, Hannah and the rest of the Auror Academy students were invited to a party to celebrate the birthday of James Sirius, Auror Potter's son. Hannah spoke to James briefly about his 'Teddy' and was very confused when he said that Teddy was not a bear but half wolf. Later that night, Clara returned to their dormitory with the news that Auror Thomas was Auror Garrett and he had saved Auror Potter's life on a mission earlier that year. The conversation then turned to their specialities where Hannah told her friends she wished to work in the Investigation Department, specifically as a detective.

To relieve themselves from the stress of the week, Hannah and her friends considered skipping Alderwood's class but eventually decided to prank Fernsby. They decided to have Fernsby make a toy for Auror Potter's son, pretending that it was Auror Potter himself who had asked. On Sunday, rumours began to spread that a guest speaker was coming to speak to everyone at the Academy. Hannah and Ari had had a study session earlier that morning and heard other students talking about it and were wondering who it could be. When it was revealed that the guest speaker was Ron Weasley, everyone - Hannah included - was extremely excited to hear more about being an Auror from someone who had since left the position.

On Monday, the Academy revealed that they would all be receiving private lessons from one of the staff members. Hannah, being interested in investigation, was given Auror Selwyn. She assumed that Auror Potter would want one of the Hogwarts students and was slightly relieved that he chose Ariana rather than her. When the timetable for their private lessons were given out, Hannah was pleased to see that her lesson with Selwyn would be on Thursday - her favourite day of the week. Whilst waiting for their lessons, the group had a lot of spare time so Hannah introduced her friends to the game "The Cursed Vaults", which was her favourite murder mystery inspired magical board game. She chose to play as the yellow character with the monster hat as she believes a monster hat is the best accessory. After the game, they discuss how in their lesson with Alderwood, he picked on Hannah for her "unkept, frizzy hair" and said she "wouldn't find water if there was a well" after she suggested using magic in a situation with a lack of water.

Hannah had classes as normal on Tuesday and Wednesday, until her own private lesson on Thursday.

Since the others had shared from their lessons that it was best not to be late, Hannah showed up to her lesson with Auror Selwyn 20 minutes earlier than scheduled. However, Selwyn told her to return to class so she did so until it was the exact time for her lesson. When she arrived, Selwyn told her that her lesson had been changed to be with Auror Garrett as Selwyn had urgent business to attend to with the Ministry. Garrett was asleep at his desk when Hannah walked in but the two quickly found a common interest in note taking and proceeded with a successful lesson. When Hannah mentioned her internship at the Daily Prophet, Garrett was sceptical and questioned her about confidentiality. However, she assured him that she had no intentions of sharing any classified information with anyone from the Daily Prophet. Their lesson continued until they got into a debate over Auror Potter - Garrett claiming that he was the best fit for the Auror Office whilst Hannah argued that he should have completed his education and training like everyone else even though he was 'The Chosen One'. That same night, Hannah and her friends realised they had only a few days left together before the summer program was over and became really sad about leaving. Clara said in passing that she would get Amaris a werewolf statue since she liked the portrait of Remus Lupin so much, making her panic suspiciously. Hannah and Ariana exchanged an odd look, questioning why Amaris would react the way she did. When everyone else had left the dormitory, Hannah pulled Ariana aside and confirmed their theory that Amaris was, in fact, a werewolf. They discussed all the evidence and decided that they needed to confront Amaris to see if she was dangerous or not.

On Friday morning, Hannah wrote a short note to Amaris saying "We know you are a werewolf" and left it on her pillow, whilst she and Ariana hid to observe her reaction to the note. As Amaris was horrified and scared, they realised that she probably wasn't going to hurt anyone so went to find Auror Potter to tell him that Amaris had fled the Academy. They couldn't find Auror Potter so went to find Auror Garrett instead and informed him of the whole situation. Whilst following Auror Garrett, they accidentally overheard a conversation between Alderwood and Auror Potter but left, not wanting to intrude on anything serious. That afternoon, Scarlett Melbourne called Hannah and Ariana into her office, knowing that they knew more than most, and explained the whole situation to them, asking that they don't tell the others about what happened between Auror Potter and Alderwood.

When Saturday came, Hannah and Ariana had to pretend as if they didn't know anything, just like the others, to not reveal what they had done. Hannah, not wanting to say anything, didn't reveal the true nature of Amaris but did confirm that Garrett did not murder Auror Potter and used Alderwood and Amaris to cover it up.

On Sunday - the last day - Hannah said goodbye to Maisie, her best friend, and the other friends she had made at the Academy. She promised to write to them all until they could meet up again and hopefully join the Auror Office together. After the final speech, Hannah said a personal goodbye to Auror Garrett and the other teachers they'd had at the Academy for doing such a good job. She received a personal letter from Auror Potter like everyone else did but what it said is currently unknown.

After Hogwarts (2009 - Present)
After graduating Hogwarts with Outstandings in her NEWTs, Hannah began her three years in the Auror Training Program in September, 2009 and became a full-time Auror in September 2012. She quickly rose through the ranks and achieved the role of Detective, just as she had planned.
