History: Charlotte Louise Drake was born on September 9, 2047, in a family of wizards. Sharon Eve Bennett and Gilbert Randall Drake, Charlotte’s parents met when Gilbert went to England as a tourist. Having met in a park, they fell in love and got married. Charlotte was born first, and later they adopted her sister Dalia, but after Charlotte's birth, Gilbert disappeared, drove away and simply was not there anymore. Sharon was worried about his fascination with dark magic and after her husband's disappearance, she began to think that Gilbert had died. When little Charlotte started looking for her dad, her mom told her that he was in heaven.

She has known about the magical world and her own abilities since childhood. The girl has lived without a father for as long as she can remember. She no longer remembers him and her mother put all the photos in boxes and hid them in the attic. However, Charlotte has a very nice older cousin Elizabella Drake, she is already studying at Hogwarts in New Zealand, but occasionally visits her little cousin and mother. Charlotte has been linked with magic all her life: she has seen the dishes that wash themselves, a stitching needle that stitches by itself, pens that write what is needed and all other magical objects. The first magical event happened at the age of four, little Charlotte planted flowers with her mother on the balcony of the apartment. Mother put soil in a pot and Charlotte put in a seed. They took the pot together and were about to put it down, when a small sprout shot out of the pot, which would quickly turn into a flower. To everyone's surprise, the flower learned to speak, and even today, the flower grows on Charlotte’s balcony.

Charlotte's mother, Sharon Eve Drake, has been raising her daughter alone for nine years. She does not complain, but Charlotte sees that her mom is having a hard time. As well as looking after her daughters, Sharon is a writer, and at the moment she is collecting all the magical, medicinal and muggle plants that are useful in any way to wizards and witches. When Charlotte turned ten, she was waiting for a letter from Hogwarts and it finally reached her, so she will soon begin her studies at Hogwarts.

Since October 21, 2051, Charlotte's little adopted sister Dalia has been living in the Drake family. Charlotte's mom made sure to change Dalia's last name from Smiley to Drake in her guardianship papers and passport, so that when she went to Hogwarts, the students and professors wouldn't ask questions that might hurt Dalia.

FIRST YEAR​

Spoiler: Sorting post

Charlotte only managed to understand that the students were called in alphabetical order when she heard her sister Dalia's name and let go of her hand that she had been holding.

All this, the huge hall, so many senior students, and the solemnity of the whole event made Charlotte tremble like an aspen leaf, and she really felt like a little one with all her little friends around. The hall was VERY large, with candles flying across the ceiling, and the sky couldn't see the ceiling at all, but Charlotte remembered reading about this illusion and knew it was a spell, just like the flying candles.

The moment her name was called, the girl took a sharp breath and looked into Dalia's eyes for salvation and encouragement. But it was not allowed to be late. She focused on the Sorting Hat’s dirty wrinkles and measured them the few remaining steps to the bench, on which she finally sat down. The girl's legs did not reach the ground and she looked up and back in awe where the funny Hat should be. She had not imagined the Hat that spoke. Turning her gaze back to the hall, she noticed in front of her a group of interested first-timers and very long tables with very many students. Charlotte sighed excitedly, gave a shaky smile and waved a shaky hand to the big students. This was a sign that she was not at all afraid and did not at all think that she would definitely mess up the table she was supposed to go to.

"You won't mess up, just follow the noise of the table shouting the loudest. And for you that table will be...Gryffindor,"
