Biography:
     Sharon Woodard met Jack Reynolds when she had to go over to American due to her job at London's Ministry of Magic. She literally bumped into their dad in a coffee place with her coming in and him going out of it, he got coffee all down her and he wouldn't let her go before apologising, buying her whatever she wanted and asking to take her to dinner later that night. Sharon kept going over there to see him after the successful date and he came to England a couple times before she quit her job and moved over to California to be with him, marrying later on.

     Mark Aaron Reynolds was the first of the Reynolds Siblings to be born on 16 June 1959 and it wasn't long after that that Sharon Reynolds found herself to be pregnant again. While the first few months went fine things went downhill on 30th November when her water broke, making her go into labour much earlier at six months. She had to be rushed to a magical hospital where Healers worked non-stop to get Daniel Jack Reynolds into the world safely and breathing. He was born on 1st December 1959 and could of easily been Mark's twin brother due to the close dates and similar looks. The first few months of his life were hard and at times Healers and his family weren't sure he would survive but thanks to that of magic and luck he did. If Daniel had been a muggle he wouldn't of survived. The Reynolds home is that on Long Beach in the Surburbs of L.A., California. They have moved houses a couple times but now live really close to the beach in a large house with their own pool which Dan loves to swim in when at home. On 31st June 1964 the last Reynolds Sibling was born, Emily Grace Reynolds.

     All the Reynolds went to Muggle school before going to Hogwarts. All of them took Drama classes at school but Dan and Mark never starred in a play but Emily did. She starred in one with cowboys and Indians in, played an Indian princess, She was very happy she got the main role and a princess no doubt, nearly drove Dan and Mark mental as she always wanted them to help her practice lines. She did really well on the night of the play, the guy that came to rescue her character though, fell off the make believe horse and he went bright red, what was even worse was he had a crush on Emily too, didn't stop Mark laughing and Sharon Reynolds had to shh him. There was another play, it was set in the Medieval Era but that play went a little wrong as there was a power cut that night but they did manage to get everyone back another evening where they could see Emily play her role.

     They were brought up and taught about both the muggle and wizarding world having both a witch as a mother and a muggle father. Sharon and Jack Reynolds tried to teach their kids slightly old fashioned, making sure they had great manners, never swore and always being polite. Though this hasn't work with his older brother as much, who lost these traits as he grew up, Dan still has most of these to this day. His father taught both him and his brother Basketball and Baseball. Daniel even joined the Basketball team at his school and was soon made captain as well. He has kept in touch with a few of his muggle friends from his school days and hangs out with them in the holidays. His best muggle mate is that of Jordon Chadsworth, mostly called Jay who was also on the basketball team with Dan and loved the sport more so.

     Sharon Reynolds taught Daniel and his siblings about the magical world and how to ride a broom which he fell off a lot at first before getting the hang of it. She also tried to teach all of the Reynolds children how to cook and dance though it wasn't successful with all of them. Daniel can dance and cook but hasn't got the hang of baking. He tried baking before and got the kitchen covered in flour and god knows what else, which he found funny, Emily his younger sister thought it was hilarious as they both got covered in flour. (Emily was in the kitchen saying it would be funny to see Daniel try to bake.) Mark came in upon hearing them laughing like crazy and the look on his face just set they off even more. He asked why it was snowing in California. They had to clean it up the muggle way before their parents came home, as they weren't of age yet. Though their mum did ask what happened to the flour the next day. they just all started to burst out laughing and their dad just turned to her and went "I think that means you don't want to know."

     The Reynolds love going on family Holidays and try to go yearly though it hasn't been possible later years with all the Reynolds kids at Hogwarts. One year their Parents took them up to Colorado to go skiing at the slopes in Denver. Sharon and Jack were getting the cabin together, the siblings were allowed to go out on the slopes so long as they all went together. Emily was being good, as always, but Dan was moaning about the cold with them not being use to it and with not wanting to go there in the first place. Mark proceeded to make fun of him for being a whiny butt. Daniel couldn't take his older brothers teasings and mockings and so he pushed Mark into the snow, and even talked Emily into burying him. She was closer to Daniel then that of Mark, mostly to them being closer in age though their isn't much different between that of the two brothers.

     Mark wasn't impressed with being pushed and buried in snow and so after he had recovered from near frost bite thanks to their mum, he waited until the dead of night and proceeded to wrap Dan up in his quilt and escaped through the cabin window. Mark went to sleep in my skiing clothes so he was prepared, Dan wasn't so lucky. He took him toward the lower part of the slopes, shook him a few times, before proceeding to toss him like a potato sac down the hill. Needless to say, he became Dan the Snow Man by the time he reached the bottom. It was pure luck again that Daniel didn't get frost bite himself and had to make it all the way back up the slopes to the cabin in the cold. Never really forgiving his older brother for that which he thought was much worse then what he had done to Mark earlier on.

     Daniel use to love to climb trees as a kid which he also fell out of but it never stopped him from getting up and trying again. In fact nothing stopped any of the Reynolds kids from getting up and trying things again. While he and his brother were busy being boys, his sister went on to have a love of horse riding along other things and even managed to get Dan to get onto her horse once which didn't go well as it ran off with him on it. He managed to stay on but someone had to go and help him. His sister also likes acting which all the Reynolds children have taken part in due to have a drama class at their muggle school. Daniel and Mark never got into the whole acting hobby though Dan did like dressing up and acting silly now and again.

     He has got a few scars over the years, mostly with growing up and getting into trouble. There's one scar under his arm, a line between his armpit and the inside of his elbow. Daniel was playing baseball as a kid, managed to hit the ball brilliantly to run all the way around, though it was getting close to be striked out at the last base so thinking he would do something he had seen adults do, Dan slided across his belly to get there in time. What no one knew was there was some glass in the ground went in his arm and dragged upwards making this scar. But Daniel still managed to make the save. That wasn't the only time he got injured during that game, he once got knocked out by a baseball bat. Dan was playing with some mates and one of them accidentally let go of the bat mid swing. It hit the back of his head on the right side causing alot of bruising from it and even knocked him out. Mark had to ask him how many fingers he was holding to which he replied "Which you?"

     Sharon Reynolds always had her two sons coming home needing helping with something or another that had happened to them but Sharon always seemed more worried about Daniel due to nearly losing him already when he was first born. When Mark brought him home from the baseball bat hitting his head she had been panicking and crying about her poor baby, thinking she was going to lose him. Dan tried to say he was fine, something he has got into the habit of saying when he isn't, just to calm those down around himself. Another scar he has is between his big and second toe on his right foot. Daniel was running around outside without anything on his feet and somehow managed to step on a rake that was laying with the prongs point up in Jay's garden. Though it hurt he later found it funny with that of the rake handle coming up to hit him in the head too like on cartoons.

     Talking more of his best muggle mate Jay. Though Daniel himself loves Basketball that of his mate loves it more and hardly ever sees him without a basketball in his hands. Jordon also loves to climb like a monkey and has crazy Afro hair too. For the longest time he was the only guy other then, apart from his brother, who Dan hung out with when growing up and playing baseball or whatever other sport they were into. The two of them also hung out with the others in the basketball team from time to time, but mostly it was just them two outside of school. Jay thinks that all the Reynolds kids go to a boarding school in Scotland and knows nothing about the magical world though Daniel keeps meaning to tell him but is unsure of how to go around it.

     Dan grew up with his muggle family near by and used to love hanging out with his Grandpa, Frank Reynolds, who tried to teach him chess which he never found interesting, he easily got bored with sitting there and starring at the board since Daniel liked moving around more then staying still. Unfortunately Frank had a heart attack one day while both brothers were in the room with him, Daniel was nine at the time, Mark ten and Emily around five. Because of this both the Reynolds boys can see Thestrals, being two of the only few at Hogwarts who can. Dan still hasn't to this day tried Wizard chess even though he thinks he wouldn't find it as boring he prefers to be on the go, he can't bring himself to play the game. Mark only plays chess once a year on the fourth of August when Frank Reynolds died. His magical family are still in the UK but they visit each other often. Daniel is close to both sides of his large family.

     Daniel loved the day came when he could go to Hogwarts himself, having heard so much about it from both his mother and brother which was then going into his second year. It surprised him when he got sorted into Ravenclaw instead of Gryffindor with his brother but was later told by his mother that she had been in Ravenclaw herself. He is a good student who gets great grades but isn't top of his year. He spends just the time he needs on his work and prefers to be outside doing something. Thinking and working all the time is too boring and dull. On Dan's first birthday at Hogwarts, his brother Mark thought it would be a good idea to wake him up by dumping a bucket full of snow on him. They then needed up having a snowball fight in the dorm with Dan's other dorm mates. Until the Prefect came in and asked them what we were doing, Mark thought it would be a good idea to throw a snowball at him. Dan still doesn't know how he got in that year.

     As soon as he was old enough he joined the Quidditch team and has played both as a Chaser and Beater over the years. In Dan's Second year his brother had charmed a camera to follow him around the castle and to take pictures every couple of minutes. McGonagall was mad as she thought Daniel had done it himself to document his day or something. Mark still has pictures of the professor telling Daniel off. In his fourth year he got his nose broken due to trying to stop a fight between some sixth years, luckily it is not noticeable as the nurse was able to fix it completely. Mark wasn't impressed at this and had a talking to the older students, he has always been protected of his younger siblings but especially that of Dan due to nearly losing him before he could even get to know his brother.

     Around his fourth or fifth year he started to get a small fan club of younger girls who liked to follow him around, he didn't think much of it as first, thinking it would wear off. But over the years the club has slowly growth in size and Dan finds himself finding and using a lot of shortcuts and hiding places in Hogwarts to get away from them. Not having the heart to tell them to bugger off. Mark also has his own fan club of girls and joked in his Seventh Year that they would join Daniel's club when he has Graduated which he hopes they don't as he has enough trouble with the ones he currently has. He wasn't made a perfect for his fifth or sixth years but that was fine with Daniel as it never appealed to him and thought doing all those patrols would be boring. perferring to be always on the go, ready for some fun and a laugh.

     In his Sixth year he continued to work hard on his studies and finally got back onto the Quidditch Pitch when fellow term mate Izzy couldn't play due to being pregnant. Daniel had not made it on the actual term that year due to a injury when try outs were being done and spent his time in the hospital wing. For New Year Eve's Ball he went with family friend Jennifer Barrie which was a lot of fun for the both of them. Come spring he started to spend a little more time with Melissa Jones which eventually turned into a romantic relationship. Things went a bit backwards due to sharing their first kiss before their first date but he got around to asking her to be his girlfriend on their second date which she happily agreed to. They saw a lot of each other during their summer holidays and went all the way in their relationship at the end of August in Paris.

     During his seventh year Daniel got made both that of Quidditch Captain and Prefect for his house. He found it hard struggling those two things along with his NEWTs, seeing friends/family and keeping his relationship with Melissa Jones going. The two of them were very close by this point and it was later that year he realised he didn't want to lose her from his life and so chose Quidditch as his career after leaving the Castls so he could see her more and not have to miss her as much. There were some falling out with him being so busy and his promise ring coming across as a misunderstanding. But they managed to stick together, missing one another terribly when they didn't talk for one week.

     Dan managed to leave Hogwarts with good grades though he did not need them for his dream career. He managed to get into a Quidditch Team along since his girlfriend. Melissa and Daniel moved in together after school, getting a nice little place in the UK to be close to their friends and he could visit his sister during Hogsmeade weekends. Daniel took part during the war, joining the Order along side Melissa, his older brother plus lots of other familiar faces and friends from his school days. He helped out as much as he could, putting himself in danger to fight against Death Eaters, watching friends fall in battle and never losing hope of winning. Dan was in danger of losing his own life during the war when Bellatrix Lestrange tried to kill him with a dark curse, she had been an enemy of Melissa for years and tried to take him away from her.

     They had not even been out of Hogwarts for a year when Dan popped the question in Paris where he took her to get away from everything for a few days. He surprised Mel who gave him a yes and the couple did not wait that long before getting married. Both of them knowing they wanted to be together for the rest of their lifes. They got married on the beach they had first told one another they loved each other in Long Beach in California on 16th June 1979. Their one bedroom flat seemed suddenly too small for them as they knew they wanted to start a family one day and so found a nice three bedroom home in England to move into.

     Within a year Mel was pregnant and giving birth to their first child, Rebecca Grace Reynolds. It wasn't long after that she found herself pregnant again and gave birth to twins. Elizabeth Lauren and Matthew Derek Reynolds. The latter named after Daniel's best mate Derek Yi who had been killed in the war earlier that year. During the years from graduation to the present day, Daniel also lost a couple family members. His uncle Carl Taylor and younger cousin Nathan Mitchell. He hopes he won't lose anyone else due to the war that is going on. Since joining Puddlemere he has been placed on the main team as one of the beaters, the former having moved to a different team. Daniel is very happy with how is life is, expecting another baby with his wife next year and hopes that all the Death Eaters can be caught and put away soon to make everyones lifes better.
