History: There is not a lot known about my first few months of life, but I can say with some degree of certainty that I was born in the summer of 2004 in Romania. I was left in an orphanage in Bucharest as a baby and have no clue as to who my birth parents are, but I was adopted by Charlie Weasley at six months.
Dad was a dragonologist who'd been working and studying in Romania for years, even before the war. He was, as still is, a confirmed bachelor, and I have no idea what possessed him to adopt a kid, but here I am anyway. He named me after one of his dead uncles, apparently. He often told me that if I ever got a brother, he'd be named Fabian. Of course, I never did get a brother, which I was always disappointed about whenever Christmas or my birthday rolled around and I was still an only child.
Where the important things are concerned though, my childhood was a pretty happy one. My dad and I lived in this bungalow on a little compound that was built for everyone who worked at the dragon preserve. It was really cool because I could see the dragons from my bedroom window. Unfortunately, there weren't a lot of kids on the compound, and I wasn't allowed inside the preserve because it was too dangerous, so I spent most of my time being looked after by Dad's boss's wife, who was nice to me.
Eventually my grandmother started complaining that she didn't get to see enough of me, so Dad made an arrangement with her that involved her looking after me three days a week which was a lot of fun because I got to see more of my cousins, who she also babysat occasionally. Still, living with just my dad so far away gave us the kind of privacy that a lot of my family complained about. At the time though, I didn't see this as a gift. I've always looked up to my dad. I think he has the coolest job in the world. But being so isolated from the rest of the family was hard for me, being a relatively outgoing kid without many people to talk to.
The best day of my life was when I got my letter from Hogwarts. I had been worried for a while that I wouldn't be allowed to go to Hogwarts since I didn't live in Britain, but Dad was sure everything was fine. There was a big send off on the platform as myself, Fred and Dominique were all starting school together. To my surprise, none of us ended up in the same house, but that didn't keep us from hanging out on weekends and stuff. It was one of the highlights of going off to school.
So I got put in Hufflepuff, which was okay with me. I was kind of hoping to get Gryffindor like my dad, but I wasn't totally devastated to go somewhere else. I managed to make a bunch of friends really quickly, and I'm still pretty close with most of them. I guess I could be considered an average student. I'm pretty good at spells in general, so Charms and some Transfiguration are my strong suits, but once I hit third year I started taking Care of Magical Creatures, and I found my calling.
