This is just a simple tale of a time travelling Aunt. Lady Viola Williams is a single lady in her middle years. An avid reader, and into all things art & crafty, after school she trained as an Nurse, though in the last few years she's been able to earn enough from her paintings to just work as a nurse on a voluntary basis.
We're not sure yet for the reason for her ability to travel through time. So far Aunt Vi has only found herself with friendly people - even if she was close to the front line of a war zone when she found herself working as a Q.A (Queen Alexandras Imperial Nursing Service). She found herself trying to comfort people of all nationalities, who had been through hell. As a teenager she'd watched the television programme M.A.S.H and found the gallows humour as present in real life as in fiction....
Before she discovered her time travelling abilities Vi was an enthusiastic leader of youth groups. Initally being a 'Tawney Owl' with the Brownies then working with the Scouts.
One of her favourite adventures involved travelling not only across time but into the magical world.
Her first visit saw her revert to her 11 year old self where she was sorted into Ravenclaw. Creative, intelligent but 'older-than-her-years' she was an oddball but other students, even the older ones, sought her advice. As she reached the upper school & prefectship the first and second years found her kind & helpful - unless they were lost. Vi's sense of direction was awful and in a huge castle like Hogwarts... Fortunatly she found the paintings and some of the ghosts quite helpful, otherwise she'd never have made it to any of her lectures.
After some years Vi returned to Hogwarts as her adult self. This time she worked alongside Poppy Pomfrey looking after the students well being. Broken bones are easy to fix but homesickness and emotional woes are healed the same way in both the magical & muggle worlds.
The other part of her job at Hogwarts was teaching the skills needed for magical cooking. Knife skills takes on another meaning when a miss directed spell makes them multiply and juggle themselves!
