Anthony knew one person that could possibly help him, not the Ministry or St. Mungo's. He scooped her limp body into his arms and apparated to the gates of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Albus Dumbledore, the Headmaster, was the only one who could help.

"Help! Somebody, please! Help!" shouted Anthony loudly for several minutes. Finally he heard the pounding footsteps of Hagrid rush to the gates.

"'ho's there? Who're you? Wait a sec…Anthony? Anthony Goldstein? Wha' happened?" shouted Hagrid.

"A Death Eater attacked her. I need Dumbledore."

"Is…is she…?" Hagrid left the question hanging.

"No, she's alive. However, her memory is altered. The spell didn't hit right…I…Dumbledore will know what to do," mumbled Anthony.

Hagrid swung the gate open and Anthony raced through, he called, "Thank you Hagrid, I'll find the way!"

He sped to Dumbldore's office, passing all his childhood classrooms and hangouts. Students gaped at him as he rushed past. He reached the gargoyle and rattled off the names of sweets until finally "Nosebleed Nougat" allowed the gargoyles to jump aside.

He reached the top of the winding stairwell and the door swung open magically. Anthony immediately spotted Albus Dumbledore sitting at his desk, a concerned looks rested upon his aged face. He hurried forward and stood in front of Dumbledore's desk, completely oblivious to the pain that coursed through his entire body from running.

"Anthony. Set her in the chair." he waved his wand an a plush lounge chair appeared in front of his desk. Anthony set her in the chair gently and watched as she went on sleeping. He took a deep breath and sat down in a rather more stiff chair next to her. Dumbledore continued, "Now…what happened?"

Anthony went on for about ten minutes to explain the extent of what had happened and his theory behind the spell not working properly. Dumbledore looked thoughtful and solemn throughout this entire explanation, after Anthony finished he replied, "Yes. I know what spell Rudolphus attempted on Charlotte. He did not perform it properly, obviously. You have two choices Anthony, and neither one are ideal. The first is that you let her be, take her back to her parents and hope that one day the spell wears off."

"But what if we can convince her, you know just tell her what happened? Surely it wouldn't take much convincing." pleaded Anthony.

"You are right, it wouldn't take much convincing, however, the spell keeps repeating itself. Once the truth is known, she immediately retreats back to where she was in the beginning, a never ending process. Of course, this is a spell that the muggles sometimes confuse with Alzheimer's, when in actuality, it is a dark wizard they angered, back for revenge. Now, the other option is that I perform a spell. While she sleeps she will go back in time, reliving her life from the time she thinks it is in her mind until present day. Now the thing with this, is that once she wakes, she will be back to herself, the spell completely demolished. However, by reliving her life, she may change some aspects that may make your lives together completely over. Do you know what I mean?"

"Yes, sir. She may wake up, thinking I am only her best friend and once again in love with Harry Potter. She…sir, she's pregnant with my child. We're having a baby." muttered Anthony.

Anthony saw Dumbledore's eyes glisten of a moment, however when he spoke it was perfectly clear, "I am terribly sorry something like this had to happen to you two. Anthony, the choice is yours…she may wake up completely in love with you again. If its meant to be…its meant to be. If you feel this is too risky, you may choose the other option, however I must warn you that may have serious psychological effects if nine months down the road she has the child with no remembrance of ever being with you."

"Let's try the second option. It…it will work. She will choose me again." said Anthony, however his brain was wracked with total uncertainty.

"Let us begin then," he raised his wand and spoke, "Maxima Oblivarevia"

The room fell into silence, when finally Dumbledore spoke, "Now, we wait."


As the spell took effect, it seemed as though time flew by for Charlotte. Her memories brushed by the experiences she had since the start of her Wizarding career at Hogwarts. She had gotten the letter to attend Hogwarts when she turned eleven and immediately visited Diagon Alley to get her supplies for school. It was there that she met her first friend. Her father had stopped to talk to one of his friends from the Ministry, and it just so happened that his daughter was also first starting Hogwarts that year. Her name was Sarah Fawcett. Charlotte and Sarah hit it off immediately and continued to correspond throughout the summer.

First year at Hogwarts was an exciting time for Charlotte. She was sorted into Ravenclaw along with her friend Sarah Fawcett. It was in transfiguration class that she met Anthony Goldstein. They both had made it their dearest ambition to become animagi when the graduated from Hogwarts. Something that they informed their favorite professor, McGonagall, of right away.

Second year, Charlotte and Anthony began extra lessons with McGonagall for their training as animagi. They had their close knit group of friends, including Charlotte, Sarah, Anthony, Terry Boot, and Michael Corner. Though they got into a bit of trouble talking in class and sneaking around at night, everyone in the school seemed to like them.

Third year, Charlotte became a member of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team as a Chaser. She had met many older students through this and became quite popular. The Ravenclaws had finally won the Quidditch Cup that year, something that hadn't been accomplished in a decade. She became great friends with the Weasley brothers and was caught in a few mishaps with them, including setting chocolate frogs on the first year potions class.

Fourth year, Charlotte and Hermione Granger set aside their dislike for each other and became fast friends. They had been very competitive in school, always trying to be the top in class. However, by working together, they found how great of a team they could be. Charlotte suspected that Ron Weasley and Harry Potter somewhat resented her for taking their friend away, however they were always perfectly friendly to her. Anthony joined the Ravenclaw Quidditch team this year also, as a Chaser. The two were close to unstoppable, however they were beat out by the Gryffindor team in the last match of the season.

Fifth year was the Triwizard Tournament and though Charlotte wanted Anthony to ask her to the Yule Ball, Fred Weasley did and the two began to date shortly after. Hanging out with the Gryffindors had its perks, she became more well known and popular however the Slytherins seemed to resent her greatly. Sarah Fawcett, became prefect in this year and her along with Michael Corner. She also started dating Terry Boot. Anthony was faithful as ever to Charlotte though they only talked during extra Transfiguration lessons and quidditch practice. Fred and Charlotte broke up at the end of the year, as they both just grew to realize they were better off as friends.

The summer before sixth year, Harry Potter and Charlotte corresponded often. She had become Quidditch captain of the Ravenclaw team and they began to discuss strategies. Though they were on separate teams and refused to share the plays of their team, they got along well. The two went on a date that summer to a Quidditch match and after that they were inseparable. Though Harry extremely disliked the fact that Charlotte and Anthony were so close he did not cause much trouble. Sixth year was one of Charlotte's favorites. She was the top in all her classes, had received 12 owls the last year, and was well on her way on becoming an animagus. The year ended with Gryffindor once more defeating them in Quidditch, though a strain on their relationship, Harry and Charlotte stayed together.

Now it was Charlotte's 7th year at Hogwarts and Harry's 6th year. She worried about her test to become an animagus, whether her love with Harry would last after school since she was a year older, the ever-present threat of Voldemort, and her upcoming N.E.W.T exams. It would be a trying year…
