PROLOGUE

✮

!IMPORTANT!

The first like six or seven chapters are gonna be background and relationship building yk I will also be making up potions, potion ingredients and stuff like that cause I don't want to do my research, some will be actual plants and stuff but if I'm wrong abt anything just ignore it pls

The timeline is gonna be changed a bit so Draco's year is gonna be in fourth year but with all the same teachers as the second year and it's the same year, 1992. Charlotte is 17! If you don't like that do not read. Charlotte has a little bit of social anxiety cause ✨trauma✨ but she stutters sometimes so that's not supposed to be the cringy y/n thing yk

Also, this will not follow the books and movies obviously, but it will have parts of the books and movies. I'm probably gonna change a lot though so just be perpared

Getting the news was hard but what was harder was seeing the man she admired spiral into a cycle of work and drinking himself to death. At many times she had to drag him inside from the cold or tuck him into bed from the sofa in the living room.

Life was never like this, before her mother died her life was practically perfect. Caring mother, loving father, something she wished with all her heart to come back hoping all of this was just a nightmare and she'd wake up to her mother and her father watching tv in their living room.

Charlotte Bren was a sixteen year old who had an amazing life until a drunk driver crashed into her and her parents while they were on the way back from her birthday dinner. The truck that hit them killed her mother and injured both her and her father.

She had been in a coma for a few days then was let out about a week later her father being released almost right after her. On top of the grief her father had to work over time to pay the hospital bills, causing her to almost never see her father sober on the breaks when she was home from her wizarding school, Ilvermorny. She decided to leave her father and travel to Europe to find a better life for herself.

Upon arriving she was almost out of the money she borrowed from her father, causing her to find a job in Diagon Alley at Flourish and Blotts Bookseller. Working there everyday she lived in one of the rooms in the Leaky Cauldron. She lived like this for about a year saving every galleon she didn't need for her housing and food.

Applying to Hogwarts, the nearest school available, hoping they'd take pity on her and let her finish her last years, a few days after she get her acceptance letter she meets a man getting school books with his son.
