History:Maxwell Halloway is a retired British Naval Officer from a long line of British Military. Lucy Trotter is from a poor family whose men worked in the mines. Lucy's friends convinced her to go with them to relax and enjoy at a pub. That was where she met Maxwell who was drinking with some buddies while on shore leave. They hit it off and began to correspond through letters when he wasn't ashore. Whenever he put into port they would spend their time together and were soon courting then married. Max Jr. came shortly afterward followed by the succeeding children.
Max Jr. followed his father into the family tradition of going to the military. Samantha and Wade are in university studying different subjects. While Samantha wants to get into animation and films and is close to graduating, Wade is studying law and has just begun. Alexandra is in high school and wants to become a model much to the family's disapproval. Lisa wants to be a doctor and is also in high school and continually tells Alexandra that she's going to be a shop girl if she's not careful.
Brandon is the second to youngest of the Halloway brood so he's used to getting hand me downs and his parents getting his name wrong. Occasionally he finds it funny that his parents stumbled and go through the names until they reach the right child's name. Johnathan is the youngest child and still in primary. Unlike Brandon he's a very accomplished liar already and knows how to talk his older brother into things.
No one knew that Brandon was a wizard even if odd things happened. They just thought it was weird coincidences. Or that it was one of the kids pulling a joke or faulty memory. With that many children it was hard pressed to keep up with everything so things were bound to slide and be forgotten or overlooked. Yet when an owl showed up with a letter and the letter was followed by a person who assured them that it wasn't a joke, the Halloways had to accept and admit that Brandon was a wizard and could do magic. Some of the family took some convincing that he wasn't going to sprout horns, claws, and fangs or grow warts and become green and curse the family. All in all they actually took it rather well.
