History

Richard Labell and Katherine Wilcox were lovers since their days in Hogwarts. Richard was a half-blood and Katherine was a muggleborn. Both were Gryffindors, and they were very worried about how the wizarding world was changing fast around them by their graduation in 1995. Voldemort was on the rise, and just living made you a target for his Death Eaters. Worried about their future, the two quickly married in 1996 in a small ceremony at the age of 19, so they wouldn't attract the Death Eaters.

Despite their quick marriage, Richard and Katherine were tracked to their flat in early 1997 in Diagon Alley. Two strangers approached their flat and knocked on the door. When Richard answered the door, he was surprised to find the strangers at their doorstep. And, they were asking for a place to stay for the night. It was very suspicious to him, and thus secretly slipped his wand out of his pocket. The confrontation led to an argument between them. In this argument, it was revealed that the strangers were Death Eaters and then drew their wands. Thankfully, Richard already had his wand and thus dueled with the strangers in the corridor.

Despite suffering some injuries, Richard was able to hold off both attackers. The two Death Eaters fled. The young couple were very worried by that point, and Richard wanted to keep himself and his newly pregnant wife safe by quitting his job to stay home with her. They quietly relocated to a muggle location, Oulton Broad, Suffolk, England. It was here, on March 3, 1998 that Katherine gave birth to twins Michael and Jessica.

Richard was naturally protective over their two children at their birth, knowing that Voldemort was growing stronger. Over the two months time, he made sure that his family was safe. After Voldemort was defeated that May, the family blew a sigh of relief. They didn't need to worry as much about being attacked again.

Despite being born during a very dark time in recent history, Michael was anything but dark. Being excited and bubbly from an early age, he has been active as a little child. As a toddler, he liked to run around a bit, occasionally suffering from small scrapes and bruises. For the most part, he wasn't too rough with his sister Jessica. Aside from the usual sibling rivalry, they got along together often going on explorations together around their home. He considered these explorations to be more like mini adventures around their home.

Katherine insisted that her children would be educated in the muggle education system, especially now that Voldemort was gone from their lives. So, Mike and Jessica were both sent to a muggle primary school close to where they lived on Oulton Broad. He was able to make friends with some of the muggle school children. But, he was always a bit loud and excited. His parents even received occasional reports of his loud behavior at school.

By age nine, Mike showed his first sign of magic while at the muggle primary school. He was reaching for a book in the library, but couldn't quite reach the book on the shelf. Suddenly, the whole row came crashing down on him and caused a big mess. He ended up with a few bruises from that encounter. His parents were happy that he showed the sign of magic.

Since his sister experienced her sign of magic around the same time, their parents explained about Hogwarts and how they were a wizard and a witch. Richard showed both of his children Qudditch, and they were able to gather in a secluded area close to where they lived to practice flying and discussing what Qudditch actually was.

Upon entering Hogwarts, Michael was sorted into Gryffindor. But, his sister Jessica was sorted into Ravenclaw. He was saddened that he wasn't going to be in the same house as his sister. Nevertheless, he awaits beginning his first year at Hogwarts.
