Authors Note:
This fan-fiction is a combination of four different people's characters and plots. In the first five or six chapters you will see each characters past story, and how they come to meet each other. Each of the four main characters are based off of the writer. That means that there are FOUR DIFFERENT WRITERS for this story. I am the writer for Crystal. Imakeeper is the writer for Liam. My 'Beta typer chick', Emily, who I am now calling monkey, is the writer for Raven. My friend, Emily (who will stay as Emily in my mind and in these author notes) is the writer for Nave. We have all written our own character past story, but will share the credit for the fic as a group and not as individuals. Though I'm sure that this fic has us all writing side stories (I've already written three) and those can be and will be on the side and placed as individual work. Imakeeper has a account on as do I(obviously) but Monkey and Emily do not, so if you wish to comment them, feel free to do so through my reviews and message boxes.
No one saw that coming. Andrew Wood was remembered for than his quidditch career. He was also Head Boy, renowned historian and healer, natural at transfiguration, created the Wolfsbane potion, and got Lily and James together. He even got rid of most of the house tension. He was one of her favorite students in her career. She saw bright future for this great man that was ended early by one of her colleagues. She was helpless because no one would believe her.

(Ten Years Later)
Liam had just finished his first whirlwind tour. He had opened for Yellowcard and had gained a large and loyal fan base. His record went platinum in the US, UK, and Australia in the first month—it would have been the first week, but not enough copies of his CD were available at the time. His record label was ecstatic.
He wrote some of Yellowcard's tracks, including their current smash hit Lights and Sounds, and their violinist helped Liam with his—and some other things (hehe). Sean was sad to see him go especially, but he had to find his brother. He promised to be back by next year and help them with their next album and tour.
As Liam left Yellowcard's condo he collected his mail. He had recently received a letter from an old friend.

Dearest William,
I just love the name; can I use it in the bedroom? It can be my pet name for you. It's just soooo sexy! You can call me anything!
That's not why I'm exactly writing. Oliver's been climbing up in the league. He's first string Keeper for Puddlemere now. He'll be so excited to see you again. I do hope he remembers you though. Until then.
Love,
Rave
P.S. I'll keep it a secret for you. Will you go out with me?

Oh, Rave. That boy had the hot for Liam since they were in diapers—way too long in his opinion. But Liam would never sacrifice that friendship. It was one of the only ties he had to his past.
Liam had lost his uncle a year ago and thus when everything began to fall in place. That's also when he bumped into Sean and the rest of Yellowcard for the first time in three years.
Liam had "met" Rave on vacation a year or so he first moved to the States. Liam was quite jealous of the fact Rave had a boyfriend. Not so much the persons involved, but more for the fact they had each other and Liam was all alone in the world. He missed Rave dearly. The two had become great friends over the last few years despite only having met each other only a few times.
Liam had met Sean right before Ocean Avenue was released. The pair quickly became good friends despite the age difference. That's about when Liam learned of his musical talent and potential. Liam has his parents, uncle, and Sean to thank for that. Liam saw Sean like an older brother in some ways. Liam hoped that he was only half as cool as Oliver.
After a whirlwind tour, a platinum album, 8 #1 singles, and helping a few friends go platinum TWICE, Liam was ready to go back and take a break. The last 10 years were amazing in his opinion, but he has no memories of England and his past aside from a crazy—almost obsessive knowledge of Puddlemere.
On his death bed, Uncle Garrett revealed:
Flashback
"Liam, I'm sorry I never had the courage to tell you this earlier. I wonder where all of my Gryffindor courage has gone these days. I put a memory charm on you. It was suggested by the healers because you heard your father die. I've seen people die in front of me, so I thought it was for the best. I hope one day you will be able to forgive me."
"I'm glad you did. I understand completely. It's ok. We were both under danger and it was the safest thing to do. I don't think you did anything wrong"
"That means a lot. The charm I cast was supposed to last a decade, so you'll be regaining your memories sooner or later. There aren't many for some odd reason. I guess you have the Wood Family Memory. We remember nothing but quidditch!"
"Ha ha!" Liam said sarcastically.
"There's one more thing I need to tell you."
"And that is?"
"You're brother Oliver thinks that you are dead."
"Minerva McGonagall, head of Gryffindor house, was the one to break the bad news to him all those years ago. She said she saw a glimmer of hope when he heard you weren't found, but that hope has long since disappeared."
"As in the famous chaser. Didn't she hold three world records until 1990?"
"Yes you did. And your brother is Puddlemere's new Keeper."
"What!"
"They are your team after all… you should have guessed."
"That was mean!"
"I know."
"Oh my god!"
"What Liam?"
"I'm doomed!"
"Why?"
"My family is rich and famous through and through! I just wanted a normal life for a bit!"
"It will be. And what is normal anyway?" Liam laughed at this comment.
"Liam, there is one more thing. Andrew didn't want me to tell you two. You were supposed to figure it out together. Do you ever wonder why we all look so similar?"
"Yes."
"It's because you are wizard-born."
"I know. I am magical after all."
"No, you've misunderstood me. You are born of a wizard!"
"What!" Liam exclaimed as he jumped out of his seat.
"Your father, Andrew, and my brother is your paternal father. Your maternal father was known for his…umm enthusiasm about spreading joy across Hogwarts."
"Your brother and you get the puppy eyes from him. And you have his piercing blue eyes too!"
"So…"
"Fine…" Garrett trailed on, the energy quickly fading.
"What was he like?"
"Which he?"
"YOU NEVER TOLD ME MY OTHER FATHER'S BLOODY NAME!" Liam roared.
"No need to lose your patience laddie. His was a great man. A prat at times, but I was never a target of his jokes and strangely enough neither was Andrew."
"Let me think. One year after you…hmmm…" Liam thought for a second. "ACCIO Hogwarts Yearbook."
Liam flipped until he found the page he was looking for. Only four boys in the year and James Potter was definitely his father. That left a Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Remus Lupin. Sirius had his eyes while the other two had his hair color.
"I got it. My other father is Sirius Black."
"Bright boy. As you could tell we were all Gryffindors. Andrew and myself a year ahead of them. Yes Liam, we were twins."
"Can you tell me about him? And what does it feel like being twinless?"
"Of course laddie. And it does seem a bit odd."
"So…"
"Sirius gave birth to both of you. You sure have his eyes and temper. Oliver has Andrew's eyes. Only Lily and Andy knew of how you two came to be."
"Lily? Andy?"
"Lily Evans-Potter and Andromeda Black-Tonks. Andy was a Slytherin in my year. Very nice like Sirius. They were the two black sheep in that family."
"Potter as in Harry Potter?"
"Yes. Harry's her son."
"I'm still very sorry."
"I doubt you had any other choice."
"Thanks once again Liam. You've been a blessing and a trooper."
"So were you ever married?"
"Yes."
"Spill!"
"To a great woman, Elizabeth Amelia Bell, daughter of Lydia Bones and Kenneth Bell."
"Bones as in Amelia Bones?"
"Yes, all of her children were killed by Voldemort's forces except for one. She gave birth to Susan Amelia Bones before passing away. She's your age and in Harry's year at Hogwarts. Amelia was Lydia's favorite cousin. You have another distant cousin, Katie Bell, a year ahead of Harry and Susan. She's the daughter of one of Kenneth's fourth or fifth cousins or something like that."
"So why didn't I go with them? Not to say I don't appreciate everything/"
"Because Sirius wanted me to take care of you no matter what. I have properties and companies under other names throughout the world. Thus I could get you away in a heartbeat anywhere to keep you safe. That and I am Andrew's next of kin."
"I'm sorry now."
"It's ok. I'll finish." Liam nodded. "Elizabeth was killed shortly after James and Lily when I went off to work one day. Elizabeth was home for some odd reason. When I came home she was dead. Andrew knew how much danger he was in. Sirius was in Azkaban and he's and Unspeakable. If anything happened Oliver was to remain with old family friends so he could continue Hogwarts. Since you were only six, I was told to take you out of the country if necessary. It pained Andrew to split you two, but knew Hogwarts was the best thing for Oliver and that you would never be able to develop your musical talent there. So I was told to keep you abroad and oblivious of your brother until your 17th birthday, but as I am dying now I am telling you know."
Both men began to cry.
"I'm sorry I will never see your children or you happy with your brother, but I'll always be looking out for you. You gave me something I didn't have. You gave me a son. Once Elizabeth died I knew I had lost my soul mate. In a sense you filled that void."
"You were a loyal brother, friend, AND FATHER" Liam sobbed.
"I'm just sorry I couldn't have done more."
"You taught me magic, music, how to me a good person, and YOU got me a RECORD DEAL! You are my FATHER whether you like it or not!" Liam said the last bit with a hint of sarcasm.
"Andy should be there to meet you. She's tall and has blonde hair like you. She will being looking for a 'Lord William Blackwood,' which is your rightful title. Oliver had declined the title, but will remain the head of the family. No one must know of your real identity except for Andy's family, Harry, McGonagall and the Bones. If you can find Remus Lupin you may tell him also, but those are the only people I know you should tell. DO NOT TELL ANY OF THE WEASLEYS, MALFOYS, OR DUMBLEDORE!"
"Thanks Uncle Garrett."
"No problem. Help Harry Potter in any way you must. Things have not been going well in the UK. Stay safe. Take my ring. Oliver has Andrew's. Normally the head gets the ring, but as twins rules get bent. Sirius must still have his. Do not open this package until you are in Andy's house" Garrett said handing his nephew a small box.
"I will."
As Liam hugger his uncle, he could feel Garrett's soul drifting out of his body. Garrett was a great man and did the wizarding world a great service.
Liam did not open the box, but felt a large surge of power. He put the ring on his finger and noticed it change in size and design slightly to his liking.
He wouldn't open the package.
End Flashback
Now, Liam is boarding his plane destined for England. A new chapter in his life is about to begin. In England, that's where Liam Wood shall become Lord William Blackwood and start his life anew.
