Prologue

Charlotte Potter remembers being struck with a frying pan by her aunt Petunia Dursley and then blacking out for almost burning dinner and then waking up with a pounding headache in a soft bed. She was shocked when realised that she wasn't sharing a cupboard with her twin brother Harry but resting in a very old room with old decorations. There wasn't even a light but a single flaming torch hung on the wall besides the door across her bed.

Pulling her blankets away she jumped off of the bed and dashed across the room with her dead set on finding her brother. Opening the door she entered a corridor which also had a single torch hung on the wall.

"Harry!" she shouted already panicking. Where exactly was she? Had she been kidnapped or had the Dursleys finally sent her and her brother to an orphanage.

"Harry!" she shouted again as she ran through the corridor only for a door at the far end to open revealing a sleepy plump woman.

"Katerina you should be resting, all this screaming isn't good for the fever."

Charlotte froze to stare at the woman in front of her. Who was she and why was she acting all concerned about her?

"Um who are you?"

The door further opened to reveal a man who sidestepped the plump woman and stared directly towards the girl. "Young lady, why are you not sleeping?"

"Angel, the fever seems to have robbed her of the knowledge of her parents. It is worse than we had originally thought." the woman spoke as she moved on towards the eight year old girl before pausing when the said girl took few steps back looking frightened.

"Katerina, i am your mother Nadya and that's your father Angel."

"No, you are mistaken, my mother and father died in a car crash and their names were James and Lily Potter." She shook her head in denial trying to find the nearest exit. "Where is Harry?"

The woman was now more concerned at the state of her daughter wondering what she was talking about. The names she spoke of weren't Bulgarian at all and what exactly was a car crash?

"Perhaps she needs the help from our people Nadya." Angel suggested

"No! I want my brother!" Charlotte shouted and before Nadya could speak, she noticed the man raise his hand and mutter a few words silently making her pass out.

…

The following day she found herself sleeping on the ground inside a star pentacle. There were men who stood outside the star surrounding her with their hands held a there chanted gibberish. The couple that claimed to be her parents stood further away observing the happenings.

Just what exactly was happening.

Few minutes later the chanting stopped as the men dropped their hands.

"You can come out of the star child." one of the men spoke.

Getting up to her feet very slowly, Charlotte rose to her feet and stepped out. She noticed the couple looking at her expectantly hoping that she would remember but she couldn't. She wasn't the person that they wanted her to be and she doubted that she never will. Looking around to search for her brother she felt a lump in her throat when she couldn't find him. She would never see him again she realised.

"Katerina?"

She turned to look at Nadya who took careful steps towards her looking affectionate something that Petunia failed to live up to. In that moment Charlotte decided to accept her as her mother. She might not have been familiar with the name but she would learn to adjust. She only hoped and prayed that she would see her brother again.
