I always loved getting creative. As long as I remember, I would sit and write small stories in my textbooks and I would always get in trouble over it when I turned in my homework.

When my fifth year came around and it was time to decide what career I would focus on getting into after, I was pretty clear when I talked to Professor Flitwick. I wanted to become an author.

Of course he then proceeded to tell me that it was a very unstable career, but I didn't care. I wanted to write books and I wouldn't stop until I was known all around Britain for my writing skills and my creativity.

On May 27th of 1991, hardly a month before graduating from Hogwarts, my crush asked me out. Charlie Weasley, the boy I had a thing for since fourth year. We went on a date to Hogsmeade and not long after we made it official that we were in a relationship.

After school, I went back to live with my family while Charlie went to Romania to work with dragons. I let him had some time to get his career started and once he found himself a place to stay, he asked me to move down to him which I did.

That's when I started being serious about my writing. While Charlie was at work, I'd sit at home in our flat and write down the ideas I had until it became an actual book. I think about a year passed because I finished the book and then I just had to edit it.

Charlie was supportive through it all. He even read the entire book in less than a day once I was finished with it, and afterwards he smothered me in kisses while telling me he was sure it would sell.

I went back to London to stay with my parents for a while as I was searching for the right publisher. I found one I liked but they didn't want to take a chance in someone who had never sold a book before so I continued my search. Eventually I found a publisher who wanted to buy and publish my book and once it was on the streets of Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, it started selling like crazy.

I remember going back to Romania after a couple of months to see Charlie with a copy of my book. Apparently they had reached other countries as well and people were loving it, him included.

The first thing he did when I came home was to hug me and kiss me as hard as he could while hyping me up to the point that I couldn't stop laughing.

I used the money from the book to buy a loft back in London above an empty shop in Diagon Alley. Years later and that shop turned into my own publishing company called 'Coil's books', it's simple but somehow it's become a well-liked company.

That was two years ago and now I'm twenty-five. Charlie and I own two homes. One in Romania where he stays most of the time and one in London where I stay most of the time. We're wizards so we can easily apparate to see each other throughout the day and we sleep in the same bed every night, sometimes in Romania and sometimes in London.

The last year has been hell. Last year I started writing a biography but I had to take a break this year due to the war. Voldemort came back in 1996 but the public didn't know until last year. There was a battle...

The battle of Hogwarts.

Loads of people died, including Charlie's younger brother Fred. It was a loss to all of us. The boy was like a brother to me and he was Charlie's actual brother. He died in May and ever since, life's been hell.

Charlie has taken a break from work so be home in England. He sleeps most of the day away while I go to work downstairs. He doesn't eat very much and when he's awake he mainly walks around in his pyjamas pants, his hair all messy and his face tired of fighting due to the grieving.
