A lot of people know about Charles Dickens, but not many know about Mary Hogarth, the younger sister of Catherine Dickens (who is Charles Dicken's wife). Charles got extremely close to Mary when she moved in to their house at age 16 to learn from her sister on how to become a proper lady. Maybe a bit too close, for when she died at age 17 of an unknown illness, he requested to be buried next to her, and later divorced his wife Catherine! This is what I imagine it could of have been like if Charles did not treat Catherine very well (he probably actually didn't but my version is what did not happen, but could've). Charles took a fancy to Mary and despite being Charles being in love with her, she got even more close with her sister Catherine. Catherine's mood did change quite a lot but that was only due to her having 10 babies and being physically and mentally exhausted. This version is my version, and all characters rights go to them, theirselves, but these events did not actually happen but could of have if they did, so disclaimer this is not 100% factually accurate despite some things being true.

Nova's Universe
This story is a sequel to my first published Wattpad story: The Irreplaceable Charlie Weasley. Like Book One, this is a long one, spanning over 37 years of Charlie Weasley's life with my OC Nova Blackwood. It's everything I couldn't give them in Book One and more. The Irreplaceable Charlie Weasley was the story of how they got together. Nova's Universe is the rest of their lives. This story is a Family Sequel with more fluff than one can manage. The family living their best life with only ups and an occasional down to make it just a tad more realistic. Showing through chapters how they go about life, how they handle every curve life throws at them and most importatly: how they love each other. "I know I say this all the time, but you make me so incredibly happy." He pulled me into another hug, burying his head in my hair. "Thank you for making my dreams come true," I whispered against his chest. This story has 3 parts: Before. After. The Rest of Their Lives. I don't own some of the characters mentioned in the story which belong to JK Rowling.Complete
