II. Melinda Catriona Wood
14 September 1999
Halfway through interviewing Viktor Krum for Seeker Weekly, Katie suddenly felt very dizzy and promptly vomited onto his lap. An hour later, word escaped that Puddlemere United's very own Oliver Wood and his wife were expecting a baby.
Katie gave birth to her daughter on a sweltering, mid-September afternoon. She giggled tiredly and shook her head, watching as Oliver swooped Melinda about and declared that she would be on a broomstick before she could walk.
Melinda was a fearless Gryffindor. She surprised no one when she became Quidditch captain in her fourth year, and later, one of Puddlemere's finest-ever Keepers.
