Charlotte Maxwell

Backstory

MARAUDERS ERA

hi! my name is Charlotte Maxwell. i'm a 16 year old Half-Blood witch born on the 26th of June in London, England. my mother is Imogen Blackwood, a Pure-Blood Slytherin, my father is Robert Maxwell, a muggle writer for the London Post. my parents met when they were both 20. my mother bumped into my father on her way to her new job at the ministry, while my father was already late for his new job at the post. i guess you could say it truly was love at first sight. my mother eventually revealed the contents of the wizarding world to him, and while i'm sure it was a lot to swallow, he understood and grew to be very supportive 

when i got my letter at the age of 11, i'm sure my mother expected me to be sorted into Slytherin, while my father was surprised of the letter's arrival altogether. he always told me that if i wasn't a witch, like my mum, then he would teach me all he knew about being a writer, and would raise me to be just like him. i was excited to finally understand what wonders my mum always went on about, but i was less than excited for the legacy i would have to be carrying. 

when i finally entered the train, i saw a group of boys sitting together in one compartment. the rest of the train was full, so i had no choice. the boys, (however rude they looked from the other side of the glass), quickly introduced themselves as Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. they invited me to sit as soon as i met them. i obliged, excited to actually have some friends upon arrival. we all fit together perfectly.

when we arrived at the castle, we were happy to find we were all sorted into Gryffindor, although my mother was less than happy with the news. but i was, because the next 5 years were a blur of fun. i joined the quidditch team as seeker. we called ourselves "The Marauders" and are constantly causing mischief around the castle when the teachers aren't looking. but that doesn't meen everything is perfect.

when i was 14, i developed a crush on my fellow Marauder, James. we began dating throughout 5th year, until we split up. this year, he's currently dating Lilly Evans, another Marauder in our group. but, during this year, i've begun dating Regulus Black, Sirius' younger brother. we don't see each other as often as i would like (cause he's in Slytherin) but we make it work. it is kind of hard to see the boy i loved constantly snog my best friend, but i'm getting through it, afterall, there are a lot bigger things to worry about.

a war in the wizarding world is going on, and it's not getting any better. it's beggining to get scary knowing that next year, when we graduate from Hogwarts, we'll be thrown into the middle of the War, trying to find our way. but with my friends by my side, there's nothing that we're afraid of.
