History:
Gabriel Grant the youngest member of the Grant household is also the only wizard in his immediate family. When he was born on September 23rd, 1983 at 4am his parents were greeted by a very shocking surprise their sons hair color continued to change a variety of colors, shocked they wondered if he was going to be like a few of his ancestors on his mothers side. As he grew up his family noticed that his hair continued to change and they were worried about it, even if it was a genetic thing they thought it best to see if he was sick. All the doctors they went to said he was perfectly healthy though even they ran as many tests as they could to find out what what was so unique about this boy. They found nothing. So it was decided that whenever he went to school or was around anyone other than his immediate family he was to wear a wig, once they found out he was a wizard they figured this was one of his unique talents. They never had any issues with it but they were worried he was going to get teased while in school and so they just wanted to make his life a little easier. His life was simple in the beginning his mother stayed home to look after him. His sister Diana would look after him when his parents went out and like most older brothers Matthew and Donald would pick on their brother, they were older but they felt it was needed to give their younger brother some much needed character. Gabriel however loved his family and knew that this was where he belonged even though strange things happened to him whenever he was upset or scared, typically his hair would change color depending on his mood. As the years passed Gabriel made few friends in school, what with all the strange things he did but Gabriel never really cared about that. Life to him was simple treat people like you wanted to be treated, he believed in it as did his parents. He was seven years old and alone with his sister, who after breaking up with her boyfriend had moved back in with her parents and younger brothers, when her ex-boyfriend came to the door trying to get her back. A fight broke out and it was then he heard his sister scream out before a large thud was heard against the wall behind him. His heart began to break seeing his sister slumped against the wall trying to stand up, anger flashed in the young boys eyes. He thought only about protecting his sister, it didn't matter how young he was or how small, no one hurt his family. Gabriel ran at the man hitting him and trying to get him out of the house, he also began to scream alerting the neighbours to a disturbance. This was also the first time his magical abilities flared, besides his hair and other features changing color, just before he felt himself being thrown in the air Diana's ex-boyfriend was thrown against the far wall by an invisible force. He was knocked unconscious just before Gabriel himself succumbed to the darkness. The last thing he remembered was his sister screaming as she held the phone, everything had gone black.
Gabriel survived that day, his parents and brothers overjoyed but the look his sister had was one of relief and thanks. Gabriel had a concussion and three cracked ribs, a broken leg and several bruises but his pride was intact. He saw that his sister also had a broken arm and a bruised face but she was safe and that was all he wanted. Over the next week and a half Gabriel was in the hospital and his sister never left his side and it was there she would meet Derek Dalton, he was the Police Officer in charge of the case. He had found Gabriel to be a very brave child to go up against a man three times his age to protect his sister and to win even though he was smaller. Turned out that in his desperate need to protect his sister and his anger he used some of his untrained magic to drive the man away. After both Diana and Gabriel were released from hospital they both began taking Marital Arts classes so that they both could better defend themselves. Within a year Derek and Diana were married and a year later they welcomed their twins into the world. Diana and Derek had both decided that Gabriel though nine would be their twins Godfather as well as the obvious uncle and their son was named after her courageous brother. Two years later shortly after Andrea's birth, his second niece, Gabriel got his Hogwarts letter which had been delivered by Professor Minerva McGonagall. Though his family was startled at this development they were thrilled that their son and brother would have a place he would truly fit in with. It was his sister and Mother who took the young Gabriel to get his school supplies along with Professor McGonagall.
As his first year progressed Gabriel realized that he loved his classes and the sport of quidditch captured his attention he knew that he wanted to play it at some day so he took to reading up on it and many other subjects, he was fascinated with everything the Wizarding world held so when it came time to go home for the Christmas Break he couldn't stop talking about it. His life at Hogwarts became an even greater adventure as his years in Hogwarts had remained rather calm nothing exciting had ever really happened to him until his final year when Harry Potter had finally arrived and his final year saw a troll break into the schools dungeon and the death of their Dark Arts Professor. After his graduation Gabriel sent in an application to the International Magical Office of Law, after having spoken with his head of house in his fifth year to determine which courses he would have to take to pursue such a career. During his years in Hogwarts he had been made a prefect and even Head Boy in his final year. Through these very important years he learned how to deal with difficult problems and how to deliver fair but deserved punishments. It was during this time he started looking for a job where he could do something similar, the Auror office interested him but he was interested in something where he would have to deal with more than simple British Wizarding law. When he discovered the International Office of Magical Law he found his desired career. He is a man with a clear mind and very talented at learning new languages.Within months he became an intern in his chosen field of employment. Through his hard work and determination he rose quickly in the ranks.
As the years passed he grew more confident in his abilities but his loyalty to his family and friends became his most important goal, with the reappearance of Voldemort Gabriel heard whisperings from his friends on the Auror force of a group formed to fight against the Dark Lord. Gabriel joined with out any hesitation. His natural ability to blend in was very useful; he always knew being a metamorphmagus would pay off someday. His career though was put on hold four years ago when as a muggle born he was forced to flee the ministry. While on the run he made sure to pass information to the Order on the Death Eaters movements, he used his metamorphmagus abilities often blending in with society which often putting himself at great personal risk but he refused to allow the Death Eaters to force him from helping his comrades even if he was on the run. Once the battle of Hogwarts began he quickly made his way there, joining the fight to save the Wizarding World and to protect his beloved family. He was wounded in the fighting but survived, sometimes wishing he hadn’t due to the loss of so many good friends. Nymphadora and Remus Lupin especially he wished he could have saved, their young son was now without parents. Gabriel however knew that the best thing he would ever be able to do was live on in their memories and to never forget the sacrifice they had made to help save so many other people. So after he was reinstated he began to work harder pushing to succeed and help others. It has only been six months since he was appointed head of his department but he is very proud of his efforts.
In this last year besides his appointment he discovered that on his mother’s side of the family his family had previously been a pureblood family that was thought to have died out when the only surviving family member had been born a squib. That was over ten generations ago but the family had been known to produce several metamorphagus’, he was felt relieved to finally figure out why he had been so different. The other thing that had happened was he began to fell a deep attraction to Helen Magnus the Supreme Mugwump, a member of the Wizengamot . He is hoping to finally gather up some nerve to talk to her and at the very least be able to call her a friend.
