Metamorphmagus
Sheba and Frederick welcomed their second son in two years. Nathaniel is named for is muggle grandfather Nathaniel Wood who sadly died just before the new baby was born. Unlike his siblings Nate was showing signs of magic from birth; it was only a few of hours after being born that his wavy light brown hair was turning a shocking shade of scarlet, revealing himself to be a metamorphmagus. Gus has also shown signs of magic after conjuring colourful bubbles in order to sooth his crying baby brother.
**Year 3

DS: [1] Nathaniel Indigo Wood "Nate"
With three young children, Sheba and Frederick decided to move out of London in order to have more space and less chance of muggles catching the children performing any accidental magic. They decided to build a house just outside of Portree on the Isle of Skye. The children love living my the sea and mountains, and going to Quidditch matches to watch the Pride of Portree play. Although both Sheba and Frederick work in London they find it just as easy to commute using the floo network.

Yay! Sheba has received an award for excellence in journalism after her nail-biting reporting of the one month long Quidditch match between the Pride of Portree and Holyhead Harpies. Nate currently finds it endlessly funny to morph into various animals and terrify his parents. Tea was recently bought her first broom and is loving learning to fly.
**Year 5

DS: [4] Augustus Umber Wood "Gus"
DS: [3] Nathaniel Indigo Wood "Nate"
Frederick is tired of the secrecy, long hours and frankly weird stuff he sees at his job. He has decided to retrain as a healer. He won't be working at St Mungo's but as a local healer treating the wizarding community on Skye. His muggle upbringing means he is able to use some effective non-magic medical techniques that other wizard healers would ordinarily ignore. This job change also means he is able to look after the children during the day which is handy as the childminders have been having trouble managing Nate and his metamorphic abilities.
***Year 6

DS: [4] Nathaniel Indigo Wood "Nate"
Frederick's muggle mother has been having a tough time living alone after her husband died four years ago and living so far away from her remaining family. As a muggle it's not as easy for to travel to see everyone so Sheba and Frederick have decided to move the family to live near her in Cork, Ireland. The children are sad to be leaving Skye but Tea is excited to be able to see the amazing Ireland Team play quidditch. Frederick will remain a local healer and Sheba will continue to use floo powder to work in London.

DS: [5] Nathaniel Indigo Wood "Nate"
Sheba has moved departments at the Prophet. Although she still loves quidditch she has grown tired of having to report on the matches instead of just enjoying the game. She is now working as an Advice Columnist for Personal Problems. Frederick still works as a healer, his mother (a retired headmistress) is helping with the children's basic muggle education teaching them maths, english, muggle history etc. Tea has become an excellent flyer and loves to make her brothers through things for her to fly to and catch. Gus is a typical quiet middle child and loves to go wandering in the countryside looking for Bowtruckles, gnomes and other magical creatures.
Nate is still a bit of a handful, the mix of being the youngest child and his metamorphic abilities mean that he's used to getting his own way.

Gus has become a very keen mini magizoologist so for his birthday his parents decided to get him a purple pygmy puff. Gus loves him and has named his puff Ralf. Nate loves to copy Ralf's fluffy, purple hair. Tea only has one more year before Hogwarts and nearly every sentence she says begins with "When I'm at Hogwarts..."
***Year 9
Event: Death in the family
DD: [11] Galatea Mary Wood "Tea"

DS: [7] Nathaniel Indigo Wood "Nate"
With Tea off to Hogwarts in September this was meant to be an exciting year for the Ollivander/Wood family. However, tragedy struck when Frederick died after encountering a Banshee whilst out looking for Gus who had runaway after being told off for releasing pixies in the house. Sheba has taken a leave of absence from work in order to look after the children.
In September, Tea received her Hogwarts letter. Her and Sheba travelled to London to visit Diagon Alley and buy her books, uniform and a wand from her great uncle Garrick. The wand that chose her was a 12.5 inches, pine and unicorn hair. Tea also bought a little tawny owl with money her grandmother gave her. She is sad she cannot take her broom with her to school.
At the sorting ceremony Tea is sorted into Gryffindor like her parents.

Sheba decided to take the children on holiday during the summer to visit her parents who currently live in Spain. Whilst there Tea encounters a grass snake and Sheba is shocked to find that she is able to speak with it. Tea loves her new found gift of parseltongue, a talent she shares with her hero Harry Potter, and she can't wait to show her friends back at Hogwarts.

DS: [9] Nathaniel Indigo Wood "Nate"
Tea is now in 3rd year and she loves taking trips into Hogsmede, particularly visiting Honeydukes. Her 3rd year elective classes are Arithmancy and the Study of Ancient Runes. Gus can't believe she didn't choose to do Care of Magical creatures but Tea's never had the love or interest in animals that Gus has; her Tawny owl, Sigrid, is all she needs. She also tried out for the Gryffindor quidditch team and made it on as a chaser (although seeker is her preferred position).
Gus has added to his menagerie. However, since his father's death he has taken to only keeping non-magical creatures, the latest addition his a ordinary toad name Mikhail, who he's planning on taking to Hogwarts next year.

After her extended leave of absence from working at the Prophet, Sheba has found herself falling out of love with writing. She has decided to apply for a job at the Ministry of Magic, specifically in the Department for Magical Games and Sports. It's just an office job but with her mother in law looking after Nathaniel during the day it's good to have some stability back again. Whilst working on the some anti-muggle security for a quidditch event she met Aries Ichabod Gardiner, a worker in the Muggle-Worthy Excuse Committee. Although she wasn't looking for love after Frederick she couldn't help but fall for the young, slightly gangly, wizard with curly, auburn hair and bright, blue eyes. Tea and Gus took the news of their mother dating fairly well. Nate, however, morphed into an eagle, flew up into a pine tree and refused to come down until it started to rain.
In September, Sheba travelled to London with Augustus and Galatea to visit Diagon Alley and catch the Hogwarts Express. Gus' wand is a 11 inch, maple, phoenix feather. Sheba offered to buy Gus a cat or owl but he declined as he wanted to take his toad Mikhail. Tea couldn't believe her brother would choose an embarrassing slimy toad over an owl, and as Gus boarded the train with his pockets filled with toad spawn, and bugs for Mikhail to eat, Tea made sure to choose a carriage with her friends far away from her brother. Gus is sorted into Ravenclaw.

No signs of magic yet
With all of her children going away to Hogwarts this September, Sheba was secretly looking forward to living a more independent life during term time. However, low and behold she's pregnant. At 36 she's still relatively young but it's been 11 years since her last baby so she's a little out of practice. Aries is absolutely bouncing off the walls (literally; he's a wizard) with excitement. Tea is also excited, and hoping for a little sister, Gus is taking it in his stride but Nate is fuming, he's not ready to accept Aries and this new baby as part of his family. Most days he can me seen skulking about with his ever changing hair colour, dark, inky eyes and if you try and speak to him he'll morph his mouth into a dog's muzzle and bark or snarl back.
September's trip to London is a tense affair which culminates in an almighty tantrum from Nate, biting or scratching several people and running off into Knockturn Alley. He is later found in The Coffin House, a shop dedicated to items to do with necromancy and raising the dead. After a long talk with Sheba, mostly about Frederick, Nate calms down enough to apologise and head to Ollivander's to buy his wand. His wand is 14 inches, yew, dragon heartstring. Unlike his sister, Gus looks after his younger sibling on the train up to Hogwarts; finds a carriage with him and even buys him a chocolate frog from the trolley. Nate is sorted into Slytherin house much to his sister's dismay. Sheba hides her disappointment but is encouraged by the idea that her children's separate houses prove what individuals they all are.
In late November, Sheba gives birth to a little girl called Rosalind Hazel Ollivander. Aries wanted her to have the last name Ollivander, a famous wizarding name, as he thinks it'll open doors for in the future. All the children, including Nate, visit St. Mungos to welcome their new sibling. She's born with a full head of beautiful strawberry blonde hair.

[O]utstanding in Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, Charms, History of Magic, Astronomy; [E]xceeds expectations in Transfiguration, Herbology, Potions; [A]cceptable in DADA. She has chosen to take Arithmancy, Charms, Ancient Runes, Transfiguration, Astronomy and Potions at N.E.W.T level. Also in her letter this year was a little badge, Tea has been made Gryffindor's Quidditch Captain.
Gus is in his 3rd year and so has taken up Care of Magical Creatures, Muggle Studies and Arithmancy as his elective subjects. Nate has really flourished at Hogwarts and has been able to keep his anger as well as his morphing ability under control. He currently likes to sport white blonde hair and violet eyes, or spiky, pine green hair when Slytherin are playing quidditch. He tried out for the Slytherin team although didn't make it but he seems to have a great aptitude for both Defence Against the Dark Arts and Potions. As a gift for doing so well Sheba has decided to buy Nate a cat for him to take to school as a familiar. He has chosen a fluffy, tortoiseshell cat with one green eye and one brown eye. He has named her Morgana.

Meanwhile back in Cork tragedy has struck some muggle neighbours of the Ollivander/Wood clan. The neighbouring farmhouse was set ablaze in the middle of the night killing two muggles. Authorities seemed to have no idea how the fire could have started, it seems to have sprung from nowhere. However, there was one survivor, the muggles' young daughter Grainne Louise Finnegan survived the fire completely unharmed but undoubtedly traumatised. Sheba's mother in law, Mary, remembers word of strange things that would happen around Grainne, electrical appliances exploding, objects flying off shelves, and witnesses said they saw her seem to glide safely down from the three story roof of her burning home. Mary couldn't help but be reminded of similar stories happening around Frederick when he was growing up and she tells Sheba that she believes Grainne may have magic. After a little investigation Sheba finds out Grainne does indeed have magic. Fearing that the trauma and guilt from possibly being the cause of her parents' death will cause Grainne you to suppress her magic; becoming a dangerous Obscurial, Sheba pulls some strings, and casts some spells, and has the girl placed under her care. Grainne is 10 yrs old and will be going to Hogwarts next year.
Tea has graduated with outstanding NEWT scores and is now living in London and studying the art of wandmaking like many Ollivanders before her. She is still seeing Thaddeus Lupin who has recently joined the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in a junior position.
Gus has been made a Ravenclaw prefect and is getting ready to sit his OWLs

Unlike her siblings who all showed magic from at least 2 years old Rosalind is yet to reveal any abilities.
Grainne is a polite and sweet but understandably somber girl. Seeing as she's still getting over the death of her parents Sheba considered keeping her back a year and starting her education at home. However, Grainne has decided that she will go to Hogwarts as she's afraid of not being able to control her magic. Sheba pressed both Gus and Nate to look after her whilst at school. Her wand is 9 inches, cherry, phoenix feather. She is sorted into Ravenclaw. Sheba bought her a barn owl whom she has named Bran.

With a set of results like that many professors at Hogwarts expected Augustus to enter the ministry and make a great name for himself. However, Gus is not made to be cooped up in a an office pushing paper. His true love has always been creatures, both magic and non magic, and being outdoors. So as soon as he graduated he backed a bag (with an extended charm) and got on his broom with no destination in mind.
In his final year of Hogwarts, Nate is made Headboy, despite not being a prefect. The whole family is immensely proud.

[O]utstanding in Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, Charms, History of Magic, Astronomy; [E]xceeds expectations in Transfiguration, Herbology, Potions; [A]cceptable in DADA. She has chosen to take Arithmancy, Charms, Ancient Runes, Transfiguration, Astronomy and Potions at N.E.W.T level. Also in her letter this year was a little badge, Tea has been made Gryffindor's Quidditch Captain.
Gus is in his 3rd year and so has taken up Care of Magical Creatures, Muggle Studies and Arithmancy as his elective subjects. Nate has really flourished at Hogwarts and has been able to keep his anger as well as his morphing ability under control. He currently likes to sport white blonde hair and violet eyes, or spiky, pine green hair when Slytherin are playing quidditch. He tried out for the Slytherin team although didn't make it but he seems to have a great aptitude for both Defence Against the Dark Arts and Potions. As a gift for doing so well Sheba has decided to buy Nate a cat for him to take to school as a familiar. He has chosen a fluffy, tortoiseshell cat with one green eye and one brown eye. He has named her Morgana.

Meanwhile back in Cork tragedy has struck some muggle neighbours of the Ollivander/Wood clan. The neighbouring farmhouse was set ablaze in the middle of the night killing two muggles. Authorities seemed to have no idea how the fire could have started, it seems to have sprung from nowhere. However, there was one survivor, the muggles' young daughter Grainne Louise Finnegan survived the fire completely unharmed but undoubtedly traumatised. Sheba's mother in law, Mary, remembers word of strange things that would happen around Grainne, electrical appliances exploding, objects flying off shelves, and witnesses said they saw her seem to glide safely down from the three story roof of her burning home. Mary couldn't help but be reminded of similar stories happening around Frederick when he was growing up and she tells Sheba that she believes Grainne may have magic. After a little investigation Sheba finds out Grainne does indeed have magic. Fearing that the trauma and guilt from possibly being the cause of her parents' death will cause Grainne you to suppress her magic; becoming a dangerous Obscurial, Sheba pulls some strings, and casts some spells, and has the girl placed under her care. Grainne is 10 yrs old and will be going to Hogwarts next year.
Tea has graduated with outstanding NEWT scores and is now living in London and studying the art of wandmaking like many Ollivanders before her. She is still seeing Thaddeus Lupin who has recently joined the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in a junior position.
Gus has been made a Ravenclaw prefect and is getting ready to sit his OWLs

Unlike her siblings who all showed magic from at least 2 years old Rosalind is yet to reveal any abilities.
Grainne is a polite and sweet but understandably somber girl. Seeing as she's still getting over the death of her parents Sheba considered keeping her back a year and starting her education at home. However, Grainne has decided that she will go to Hogwarts as she's afraid of not being able to control her magic. Sheba pressed both Gus and Nate to look after her whilst at school. Her wand is 9 inches, cherry, phoenix feather. She is sorted into Ravenclaw. Sheba bought her a barn owl whom she has named Bran.

Gus graduated Hogwarts with [O]ustandings in Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology, Charms, Alchemy and Herbology, and [E]xceeds Expectations in Arthimancy and Muggle Studies. With a set of results like that many professors at Hogwarts expected Augustus to enter the ministry and make a great name for himself. However, Gus is not made to be cooped up in a an office pushing paper. His true love has always been creatures, both magic and non magic, and being outdoors. So as soon as he graduated he backed a bag (with an extended charm) and got on his broom with no destination in mind.
In his final year of Hogwarts, Nate is made Headboy, despite not being a prefect. The whole family is immensely proud.
