Charlotte Weitts

Grace Weitts (Sister)

Charlotte Weitts is the youngest daughter of House Weitts and the younger sister of Grace. She is set to begin her Hogwarts tenure in the autumn of 1992.

## **Early Life:**

Charlotte was born in early 1981 to Adriana and Sigmund Weitts and grew up in luxury with her family. She was not seen in public until the age of seven, a practice that her older sister also took part in. She is Daphne’s oldest friend and seems to be friendly with both Tracey and Astoria as well. Outside of that, very little is known about Charlotte but based on her knowledge of mind magics and obvious proficiency in the arts, (Legilimency in particular) it can be assumed she was trained from an early age. Before Hogwarts she took part in lessons with her mother, Adriana. The exact nature of these lessons was unspecified.

## **1991:**

On July 2nd 1991, Charlotte and her mother, Adriana are present in Knockturn Alley, in “Hephestus’s Custom Wands” to get Charlotte a wand a year before her departure to Hogwarts. During this occasion, Charlotte meets Harry Potter for the first time, though she is blissfully ignorant as to who he is at the time, as is her mother. During this exchange, Charlotte uses wordless and wandless Legilimency on Harry, a feat she repeats on Platform Nine and Three Quarters on September 1st. When Charlotte is finally fitted with a wand, it is one made from Ebony and containing the heartstring of a Ukraine Ironbelly, a species that is now considered to be extinct. Hephestus notes that Charlotte’s wand core is shared by one of the two most powerful dark sorcerers of the 21st century. It is fair to presume that Charlotte has a brother wand to Gellert Grindelwald. The ebony from her wand comes from the same tree as Harry’s, though it is unknown exactly what this means, if anything at all.

She is present at her family's Samhain Gathering. There she hangs with Harry Potter ending up explaining to him that the Trace is placed on a location and not a person or a wand. She is also responsible for making him aware of the existence of the mind arts, more specifically about Legilimency and Occlumency. She also uses the gathering to catch up with her close friend Daphne Greengrass.

Later that evening when news break-out of the lockdown at Hogwarts she manipulates her parents into inviting Harry to spend the lockdown period at their Manor. She then takes Harry to a guest bedroom via a secret passage, in a calculated ploy to determine whether Harry has ever actually been to his family manor or not. They discuss Harry's family relations for a moment, before going to bed.

## 1992:

At some point on July 18th, after Harry Potter ends up arriving at her family's manor to spend the summer there, she visits him in 'his room'. They end up discussing many things, among which Daphne's temper. At some point in the conversation she recommends to him that when James Potter come running to him asking for forgiveness to milk him for whatever he is worth.

She receives her Hogwarts' acceptance letter on August 1st. Some days later, on August 19th, she alongside her family, The Greengrasses, Harry Potter, and Tracey Davis meet at the Summer Isles Restaurant in Diagon Alley, a very classy and expensive place, before proceeding to get her school supplies. During a private conversation with Harry, Tracey and Daphne she reveals that she is at a stage in her wandless Legilimency training where she has problems controlling her ability. She is shortly afterwards introduced to Cassius Warrington, Calypso Rosier, and Flora and Hestia Carrow right outside of Flourish and Blott's.

She boards the Hogwarts Express on September 1st alongside Harry Potter. On the train she ends up meeting with Harry's group end makes the acquaintance of Blaise Zabini. During their ride she intimates that Gilderoy Lockhart has well-developed Occlumency shields and that there is more to him than meets the eye. Later in the day, at Hogwarts, she is sorted into Slytherin and immediately makes a power play by sitting next to Harry.

Later in the evening, after being welcomed into Slytherin by their Head of House, she proceeds to the dorms. In the Girl's First Year Dorms, Laine Slater introduces herself to Charlotte. Evelyn Travers insults Ginevra's heritage and family, and when they almost escalate to blows, Charlotte and Ares disarm the both of them.

She spends the evening of September 4th in the Common Room alongside her friends. There she introduces Harry to her new year-mate, Laine Slater. The next morning she is present when Harry intervenes in the confrontation instigated by Ron Weasley where he berates his little sister, Ginny, for her sorting into Slytherin. When Professor Snape arrive, she plays the act of a frightened-little-girl and directs the conversation on the wound inflicted upon Harry by Ron.

Upon her return to the Slytherin Girls' Dorms with Laine, on the evening of September 6th, she is forced to intervene to stop a duel between Ginny Weasley and Evelyn Travers. She ends the fight and chastises Travers for picking fights in the dormitories. Charlotte then offers to buy Ginny a new trunk — as Travers desire to look into the Ginny's trunk is what started the whole fight — and in the process realizes that Ginny is completely clueless in regards to the social aspects of Slytherin House and informs her that a short discussion is in order when the trunk arrives. Laine Slater is surprised at Charlotte's involvement and the latter reveals that she is good at reading people and if Ginny were to get out of her shelf then she would have some potential.

The next morning she and Laine simply join Calypso, Harry and their friends at the Slytherin table, uninvited, and thus, in clear violation of the internal rules of Slytherin House. Later in the evening while studying in the Common Room she has a conversation with Harry where she warns him of the dangers of her actions. She reveal that everything is part of a plan, but that in the future she will be more careful.

Charlotte and Laine meet with Ginny Weasley on September 14th to give her the promised trunk. She ends up chiding the girl for running late and then herself and Laine end up giving Ginny a crash-course in Slytherin values. Towards the end of their meeting she offers to borrow Ginny a book on Wizarding etiquette and encourages her to be more confident as that will make her less of an easy target.

The evening of October 7th finds her finally formally introducing herself to Ginny Weasley after she is just about to intervene to help the girl fend off Millicent Bulstrode. She invites Ginny to study in the library with her and Laine Slater. Some time later, the three of them leave the library and head to their Common Room. There she leads them to Harry's group and a conversation ensures where she tries to determine Millicent Bulstrode's position in the House. She finds out that at the moment she is in a neutral among the second-years alongside Lillian Moon. Her pondering on the nature of Bulstrode's earlier attack is broken by the arrival of Malfoy and his group. A short verbal confrontation ensues between Harry and Draco with the former being the clear winner in the end.

On the morning of October 17th, she has breakfast alongside her friends in the Great Hall. Afterwards she heads towards the Slytherin Common Room with Ginny and Laine. On the way there she becomes aware the Harry, who was hidden, wanted to talk to her in private. Hence, she separates from the group and heads out towards him. Harry brings her to his private training room where they end up talking a little bit about the Mind Arts. Eventually, they get to the real reason behind Harry's desire for a talk — the reason behind Charlotte's question about Millicent Bulstrode a couple of days back. Charlotte ends up confiding in Harry by explaining to him the whole situation and the two of them try to figure out the reason behind the attack. The main working theory presented by Charlotte is that the attackers are egged on by an older student, most likely one with a grudge against her sister.

The evening of October 19th has her act as backup for Harry when he leaves to find Pansy. She is the one that figures out where she is by sensing the wards around the classroom where she was being help by Draco and his group.

On October 25th, Charlotte is in the Library with Ginny and Laine under the guise of working on an assignment. When Derrick Mulciber, whom she was spying on, is about to leave, she packs up her things and follows after him. On his way out of the Library she bumps into him, in the process quickly scanning his mind with Legilimency — thus finding out about his plans to ambush her. So, using the passageway from the Library to the dungeons that Harry showed her, she intercepts him, ambushes him and drags him to the room used by Mulciber and Alex Jugson as a meeting place of sorts. She decides to wait for the latter boy, when he arrives he is stuck with a full-body bind and Charlotte delivers her warning for him before taking her leave.

Ginny, Charlotte and Laine leave the Great Hall after breakfast to head to their first class of the day on the morning of November 4th. On their way there they are accosted by Ron Weasley and Charlus Potter. The former tries to chastise his sister for hanging out with Harry Potter. Ginny is not interested in hearing his non-sense and Charlotte ends up snapping at Ron — pointing out Charlus' blood relationship with Harry and what it would mean of him if Harry were the Heir of Slytherin. Upon hearing that Ron tries to escalate but is stopped by Charlotte slapping him over the face and then kicking him in his nether regions. With Ron incapacitated, the three girls decide to continue heading towards their class.

She has a conversation with Harry Potter on November 9th pertaining to Gilderoy Lockhart. During the conversation she reveals that she magically cannot tell Harry much about Lockhart, and her friend confides in her that the professor accused him of being the Heir of Slytherin.

Some days later, on the night of November 13th, she heads to a supposed meeting with her Head of House. On the way there she is ambushed by Alex Jugson and Derrick Mulciber. She has a hold on the situation until an unknown persons stuns her from behind. Eventually she wakes up tied in an abandoned classroom with the two first years looming over her. They inform her that they are going to carve up her face with a cursed dagger that inflicts wounds that do not heal and then drug her with a potion that would ensure that she does not remember who was responsible for the act. Mulciber then proceeds by cutting her forearm with the dagger, but, before he is able to carve her face with it, he stopped by the sudden appearance of Harry Potter who had realized that the message that Charlotte received earlier in the day was in fact a set-up and not an actual summoning from her Head of House. Harry deals with the boys and goes to check on Charlotte who passes on soon afterwards. A couple of hours later she wakes up in the Hospital Wing. There, under previously set up privacy spells, cast by Harry who had sneaked in, she has a conversation with Harry who has come to check on her. She finds out that Madam Pomfrey was unable to remove the scar on her forearm, and she asks Harry not to present the potion that her attackers planned to use to Dumbledore. The two talk, with Charlotte opening up and Harry sympathizing with her struggles. Harry agrees not to interfere with Charlotte's plan as long as it does not backfire. Their conversation ends with Charlotte offering Harry Legilimency lessons in exchange for fighting ones.

After the Defense class, on December 16th, Charlotte is asked to stay behind. In private, Lockhart asks her to thank her grandfather on his behalf for what he has done for his family and for having a conversation with him some years past that most likely ended up saving his live. Charlotte agrees. The following evening, right before the Dueling Club, she has a conversation with Harry where she is convinced to change her plans to humiliate Mulciber and Jugson.

She, alongside her sister, return home for the winter break on December 21st. There they end up regalling their grandfather, Giaus Weitts with stories from their semester before the arrival of the Greengrasses and the dinner that ensues. They talk among other things about Harry Potter and if he happens to have any insights into the Heir of Slytherin situation. At the end of dinner, Charlotte relates Gilderoy Lockhart's greeting to his grandfather and learns that his grandfather doubts him to be a Legilimens.

On December 31st she is present alongside her family at the Greengrass New Year Gala. There she helps Daphne with her revenge plan against Draco Malfoy by providing her with a hair of his grandfather to be used in the Draught of Hate.

## 1993:

She has her first combat magic training session with Harry on January 5th. He has a mock-up duel with her to assess her duelling prowess. After the duel concludes, he decides to start teaching her some defensive magic as that was one area where she was significantly lagging behind compared to her offensive repertoire. He postpones teaching her spell deflection until a later date.

On January 11th she is introduced to the Speaker's Den for the first time by Harry Potter when he drags her alongside Blaise and Tracey there and tells them to wait for him. Harry finally returns and shortly afterwards he collapses into a panic attack that was enchanted by his suppressed memories. After getting permission from the other two Charlotte proceeds by using Legilimency on Harry to calm him down and rebuild his Occlumency 'shields'. In the process she finds out about the confrontation with Lady Voldemort at the end of last year. Once her work is done, before she can even comment on it, Blaise invokes Salazar's Sanction, thus forcing them all into silence.

Some time later, in the Slytherin Common Room, after Blaise, Tracey and Charlotte put Harry to rest in a bed in the Speaker's Den, they are addressed by their Head of House. He informs the whole of Slytherin House of the latest developments, that is, the dissapearence of Daphne Greengrass, and the most likely upcoming political pressure that will be brought by the Neutral Faction via the Wizengamot upon Hogwarts. He informs the students that this might as well be their last chance to talk and reveal any information that they might have about the Heir of Slytherin. At the end of the meeting Charlotte is informed by her sister to meet with her later in the day in the room in the Dungeons where she practices with Harry.

That night the Weitts sisters meet and have a short conversation about the Heir of Slytherin and the inability of the Wizengamot to actually do anything about them. Their meeting proceeds with Charlotte practicing her Legilimency on her older sister.

After another session in the mind arts, on the evening of January 24th, Grace deems Charlotte as a level four Occlumens, thus ready to start building a mind palace.

The evening of February 17th marks the end of another training session in implanting emotions, images and impressions with the help of Legilimency onto Grace who has volunteered to help her train. Some days later, on February 20th, after tutoring Harry in Legilimency, as it was usual during Saturday evenings. At the end of their session Charlotte informs Harry that she will soon execute her plan to deal with Mulciber and Jugson so that they would not dare to act against her in the foreseeable future. Two nights later, she executes her plan against Mulciber and Jugson after weeks of using Legilimency on them to push a feeling of suspicion into them. She lures them out of the Slytherin Common Room after curfew and after she defeats them in individual duels she uses Legilimency to push into their minds their own fears, combined with an amount of fear of herself. After she is done, and preparing to return to the Slytherin Common Room, she is surprised by Harry who was ensuring that she was safe. She ends up telling her about her plan, and to her utter relief, she finds that he did not disapprove of it.

On the evening of April 20th, in the aftermath of another training session with Harry, the two talk about his emotional breakdown from a while back in the Speaker's Den. She reveals that Zabini imposed the Sanction on them all, thus stopping her from revealing what she learnt whilst rebuilding his Occlumency 'shields', and that her grandfather, even though Neutral, has reasons for detesting Voldemort. As a closing thought, Charlotte assures Harry that neither her, nor his friends, judge him for holding his secrets.

Two nights later finds Charlotte bursting into the Slytherin Common Room after outrunning some people who had just tried to ambush her. There she is met by Daniel Selwyn whom she initially accuses of being the Heir of Slytherin, until figuring out that he was actually the one behind Mulciber's and Jugson's actions from earlier in the year. In turn, he reveals that his actual grudge is against her sister, and Charlotte suffering is just a means to an end — that is, him talking revenge for her taking the top spot in Slytherin some years back. He then proceeds to curse her, and eventually he manages to hit her with the Cruciatus Curse, thus rendering her unconscious.

She is rescued the same night by her sister, Grace, and by her friend Harry Potter. Thus, somewhat injured, she ends spending the night being watched over by her sister in her Head Girl suite.

After Snape's announcement of Harry and Ares disappearance on June 4th, she alongside Blaise and Tracey, 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.
