Tracey Davis

Tracey Davis is a Slytherin Student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy who started attending in September 1991. While she faces some prejudice in Slytherin House, due to her status as a halfblood, she is protected from this to an extent due to her friendship with Daphne Greengrass.

## **Early Life:**

Tracey is a halfblood who grew up in London with her muggle father and witch mother. For the first years of her life her father was unaware of magic, this changed when Tracey experienced her first instance of accidental magic. When Tracey's father found out that his wife and daughter are witches he ended up drowning his dissatisfaction in alcohol, in time becoming a drunk.

On August 15th, 1984, Tracey and her mother run from home after her father gets violent after one of her boots of accidental magic. The next day they stumble upon the Greengrasses in a cafe and Tracey and Daphne become fast friends. After a couple of weeks Tracey and her mother return home. On the night of October 18th, 1984, he father is drunk and knocks boiling hot coffee over Tracey, her mother fixes the burns with magic which leads her father to attacks her mother for using magic. This ends with her mother being pushed down the stairs and dying upon hitting the floor. Her father runs away but is eventually caught and sent to prison.

Tracey is found shortly after her mothers death and had arranged for her to live with her mothers best friend from Hogwarts and her husband. She needed years of therapy to get over it and be able to talk about her ordeal.

## **1991:**

On September 1st 1991 she travels to Hogwarts via the Hogwarts Express with her friend Daphne Greengrass. At the beginning of the train ride she shares a compartment with Harry Potter, until he leaves to have a private conversation with his estranged brother Charlus Potter. After quite a some three minute discussion with the Sorting Hat she ends up being sorted into Slytherin. Harry observing her sorting is quite convinced that she would have preferred to have been sorted in a different house altogether.

The next day, during Potion class she teams up with Daphne Greengrass and together they are able to finish preparing their potion long before anybody else. This might be assumed to have happened due to Daphne's skill when it comes to potion brewing. During dinner that evening Tracey notices Harry entering the Great Hall and invites his to join her, Daphne and Pansy Parkinson. There the three of them end up questioning Harry's study habits, as he admits that he was coming from the library, and the overall quality of his memory. Unfortunately for them Harry is quite able to deflect their questions and thus they find little of import about him. Soon enough, Tracey sharing her meals with Harry and Daphne become a common occurrence, especially after the two girls girls end up befriending him. On September 3rd, when during lunch, Harry reveals his intention of skipping History class altogether Tracey is quite scandalised by such notion.

Most of September 7th is spent by Daphne and Tracey trying, and failing to find Harry. At dinner that evening, when Harry eventually show up, the two of them express their worry and dissatisfaction in regards to him being gone without a trace the whole day. They manage to extract an apology from him and the promise of future help when it comes to their wand-work, with that night reserved for helping them with their Transfiguration and figuring out Aegis Vocar. He also reveals to them that he as a nearly Eidetic memory.

In the aftermath of the duel in the Trophy Room between Charlus Potter and Draco Malfoy she is set up to take the blame due to the machinations of Lucius Malfoy. She ends up losing for something she didn't do 50 house points and receives detention. As a result of all that her standing in Slytherin House becomes perilous.

The morning of the Gryffindor-Slytherin match of the season Daphne and Tracey join Calypso Rosier's group for breakfast at the behest of Harry Potter. This is done as a political statement in regards to the internal Slytherin Hierarchy as the morning before the match the Great Hall would be full.

## **1992:**

At the beginning of the second half of their first year she and her friends end up on a first-name basis with Blaise Zabini. In time the boy becomes a part of her friends group.

On the evening of February 22nd, Harry invites Daphne, Tracey, and Blaise into The Speaker's Den where he informs them of what he had learnt in regards to the Philosopher's Stone after invoking Salazar's Sanction, a binding contract that makes anything discussed under it unable to be shared with anyone not in on it. He also reveals to them that he has been raised by muggles.

Throughout the rest of the term Harry ends up using the room to keep his friends up to date on a number of sensitive topics, among which are the Dragon Escapade and the encounter with the hooded figure in the Forbidden Forest during detention. Even though he omits the speculations and implications made by the centaur.

She is present with Daphne and Blaise during the whole end-of-school-year Philosopher's Stone debacle. Her role in the whole ordeal is more that of a silent party.

At Greengrass Manor, Daphne Greengrass, Tracey Davis, and Blaise Zabini meet for a get together on July 6th. After formalities are exchanged, they cut to the case and discuss their concern over Harry's living arrangements and his lack of contact with any of them thus far over the summer. Blaise asks what the plan of action to rescue him is, having picked up on what Harry's situation is, and Daphne responds that if she hasn't heard anything in a week, she would put together a rescue plan.

On July 18th, she and Blaise visit the newly rescued Harry Potter at Greengrass Manor. After a while, Tracey and Harry are left alone and she tells him the story of her early years and how her father killed her mother.

She does her Hogwarts shopping for the upcoming academic year alongside Harry, Daphne and Charlotte on August 19th. Before entering Flourish and Blott's her and her friends stumble upon Cassius Warrington, Calypso Rosier, and Flora and Hestia Carrow. They catch-up and discuss their respective summers before entering the bookstore.

On September 1st she travels to Hogwarts alongside her friends on the Express. At the feast they all stay together and afterwards they head to their Common Room. On the way there, as Charlotte left with the fifth-year prefect, she discusses with her friends the possible complications caused by Charlotte's power move.

The evening of October 31st, finds her and her friends waiting for Harry's return to the Common Room after the Chamber of Secrets opening debacle. Upon his return, Daphne and her start bombarding Harry with question. Eventually they have to settle down to allow him to answer.

## 1993:

At the beginning of the new term, on January 3rd, she is present in the Slytherin Common Room to catch-up with her friends. When Harry departs the room, she follows him and checks on him to ensure that he is fine given the recently revealed deaths of his aunt and uncle.

After the revelation of Daphne's disappearance, on January 11th, she is lead into the Speaker's Den alongside Charlotte and Blaise by Harry. They are told to way for him to return. When he finally returns he has a panic attack enchanted by his suppressed memories that lead him to collapse. His Occlumency 'shields' are rebuilt by Charlotte and once her work is done, before she can even comment on it, Blaise invokes Salazar's Sanction, thus forcing them all into silence.

They leave Harry to rest in the Speaker's Den and return to the Slytherin Common Room. There they cover for Harry's disappearance by claiming that he is not feeling well and that he is in the dormitories resting under wards.

She forces another conversation with Harry about his feeling on January 14th. As a result of that conversation, Harry's motivation to ensure that Dumbledore must be removed from the castle to allow him to properly investigate the Heir of Slytherin only increases.

After Snape's announcement of Harry and Ares disappearance on June 4th, she alongside Blaise and Charlotte, go to the boy's room to discuss. Before they can commence they are joined by Calypso and the Carrow Twins, and by Grace shortly afterwards. Grace Weitts mentions that she has placed an illegal tracking charm on a piece of Harry's jewelry, and thus she suspects that the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. Shortly afterwards, they proceed, under the protection of the Disillusionment Charm, towards it. There, she wants to enter into the Chamber for the rescue mission, but she ends up being stunned.

On the evening of June 12th, in the Speaker's Den, under Salazar's Sanction, Harry tells his friends about his past relationship with Professor Hurst, and that she turned out to be Voldemort, about the prophecy, and about the Chamber of Secrets — or as much as he could about that. They depart for the Chamber of Secrets, unfortunately for them, before they can arrive, it's location is placed — unbeknowst to them — by Emily Nigma under the Fidelius Charm.

## Academic Results:

At the end of her first year of Hogwarts education she ends up having the fifth highest grade among her yearmates in both Herbology and Potions. Due to the debacle caused by the reopening of the Chamber of Secrets, there are no end of year exams in his second year, just Pass or Fail grades. Suffice it to say, she manages to advance onto his third year.
