Biography
Hogwarts education
Olivia started attending Hogwarts the same year as Jacob, where she was sorted into Ravenclaw.[4]
During the 1988–1989 school year, Jacob's sibling found a letter written to Olivia Green from Jacob in Jacob's room, where Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington informed them about her, and how according to him, possessed exceptional courage. He then told them to seek the Grey Lady for more answers about her.[4]
Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor (1990–1991)

Professor Green introducing herself to students in Classroom 3C
Sometime after her graduation, in the middle of the 1990–1991 school year, Olivia was appointed the school's new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher as her predecessor left Hogwarts without a word. When she introduced herself to seventh-years at the start of a lesson in Classroom 3C, she told them that she wanted to be addressed as "Olivia" rather than "Professor Green".[3]
However, by the end of the year, Olivia needed to be replaced because of Lord Voldemort's jinx on the post.[5]
Magical abilities and skills
- Defence Against the Dark Arts: She was employed as a teacher of this subject at Hogwarts, meaning she would have been accomplished in this field. She admitted that her own training in this subject at Hogwarts had been "uneven".[3]
