Charlotte Nott

## Charlotte Matilda Alexandra Nott (née Greengrass)

**Charlotte Matilda Alexandra Nott (née Greengrass)** (born 19 June, 1960 - 7 January, 1985) was an English pure-blood witch and was the daughter of Sebastian Greengrass and Lisanne Greengrass (nêe Prewett). Being in a pure-blood family, she was expected to know about pure-blood supremacy, but her parents never thought it was a big deal. The Greengrasses never really sided with anyone, so Charlotte never really bothered about it either. Her childhood best friends were both her siblings Felicity Avery (née Greengrass) and her brother Casimir Greengrass. She spent time with her maternal cousins (specifically) as well. There was also a muggle family living nearby whom the Greengrasses were quite familiar and friendly with. Charlotte would often go spend time with their youngest daughter, Cressida Prewett (née Smith) - who later turned out to be a witch.

Charlotte attended Hogwarts from 1971 - 1978 and was sorted into Slytherin House. During her Hogwarts years, she was good friends with her younger sister and her childhood best friend (who was a muggle-born) Cressida Prewett (née Smith). She was often bullied by other Slytherins about being friends with a muggle-born. She didn't mind them though, and let them bully her all they wanted. She would often complain to her Felicity about it and the two sisters would help comfort Cressida. Charlotte excelled at every one of her subjects, specifically Potions and Transfiguration. She was also very educated in the Dark Arts. She later studied Arithmancy, which she excelled at as well.

After she graduated Hogwarts, she married Caspian Nott, whom she had been seeing for almost a year. She gave birth to her son a year later and they named him 'Theodore Caspian Alexander Nott'. She was also named godmother of Cressida's first born daughter, Aurora Prewett. Sadly, she died in 1985 due to a blood malediction and complications with health.

## Biography

### Early Life (1960s)

Charlotte Matilda Alexandra Nott (née Greengrass) was born on 19 June, 1960 to Sebastian Greengrass and Lisanne Greengrass (née Prewett) at Greengrass Estate, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England. Her parents were both born into wealthy, pure-blood families. The Greengrasses were traditionally sorted into Slytherin, but the Prewetts didn't have a 'traditional' house, they could have been sorted anywhere. In her mother's case, she was sorted into Slytherin. Despite being purely English, Charlotte knew how to speak a lot of languages. She could speak English, French, German, Russian and Turkish.

Her parents hoped that she would be kind and look at the world from different perspectives. Before attending Hogwarts, she spent most of her time in the family library. She was taught English Literature, French German and Russian by tutors, but her mother taught her Ettiquette and Turkish, whilst her father taught her the Dark Arts. So by the time she attended Hogwarts, she already knew a lot of curses, jinxes and she knew about the Unforgivable Curses but the names were all she knew. Her parents also encouraged her to read, and she read a lot. She also liked drama (acting). She would make up imaginary stories and with Felicity, they would act them out together.

Charlotte's parents never really taught her about pure-blood ideology or supremacy, as neither the Greengrasses nor the Prewetts really cared or bothered with it. Charlotte only learnt about it when she started attending Hogwarts, though she continued to ignore it as she and muggle-born witch Cressida Prewett (née Smith) stayed friends until Charlotte's ultimate death.
