Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or the characters. I own Charity and Howard Harris.
It's been two months since Charity got to Hogwarts and she's loving it here. She owl her papa every other week. She tells him about her classes and her friend - Neville. He is her only friend. Her papa would only reply with one or two sentences but she didn't over think about it. She thinks that her papa is busy with the church and his bills.
The truth is that Howard doesn't want to hear that his Christian daughter loves being a witch. He wants her back home and nowhere near witches and wizards. He had to lie where his daughter was now. He knew that he will not be approved if people in the church found out that his daughter is practicing witchcraft. He will be kicked out of the church. When his daughter gets back for winter back, he will make her stay home and not go back to Hogwarts. That was his first mistake letting her got to Hogwarts.
Charity was walking down the hall when she saw Professor Dumbledore talking to people. One of the people were tied up. She walked up to them and they looked at her.
Dumbledore smiled and said, "Hello, Ms. Harris. This is Rodolphus Lestrange. He is a prisoner of Azkaban. He is here with ex-Auror Moody."
Charity looked at Rodolphus and saw that he was staring at her with sadness in his eyes.
Charity smiled at him and said, "Hello, Mr. Lestrange. My name is Charity Harris."
Rodolphus felt his throat tighten up. Moody and Dumbledore saw Rodolphus' face when Charity spoke to him.
He gave her a sad smile and said sadly, "Hello, Charity. How are you liking Hogwarts?"
"It's great! I am a Hufflepuff! I have a friend named Neville Longbottom! He and I met on the Hogwarts Express. He's a great friend," Charity told him excited.
"Are your parents proud of you, Charity?"
"I hope that my papa is proud. My papa and I are Christians. I was taught that Satan created witches and wizards. I am starting to believe that Satan didn't create witches and wizards," Charity told him.
Moody and Dumbledore notice how Rodolphus charged when he was talking to Charity. That's the only reason why Moody brought Rodolphus to Hogwarts because he will not stop saying that he wanted to meet Charity.
Rodolphus' heartache when Charity called another man 'papa.'
"What about your mum?"
"I don't know my mama. Papa doesn't talk about her. I don't mind about that. I have my papa and that's the only parent I want in my life. Well, I have to go and study for my potions test," Charity said.
Rodolphus gave her one last sad smile before Charity left the three adults. Rodolphus stare after Charity with a couple of tears drops coming from his right eye.
"Mr. Lestrange?"
"I hope that Charity is happy with her papa. I really hope that she loves her life," Rodolphus said really to himself.
"Is Ms. Harris really your daughter, Lestrange?" Moody asked.
"Her real name is Vega Lestrange. I was the one that sent her into the Muggle world to live a better life than she would have with the Malfoys. That's the reason why I wanted to see her because she's my daughter. I wanted to know if she is alright," Rodolphus told Moody and Dumbledore sadly.
"Mr. Lestrange. Do you want her to know the truth about you being her biological father?" Dumbledore asked.
"No. I don't want her to know the truth. I want her to keep the life she has now and doesn't worry about why I gave her up," Rodolphus said sadly.

Charity was walking through the hall to the Hufflepuff tower when she ran into a boy. They both fell to the ground. Charity fell on top of the boy. She got off the boy and they both stood up.
"I am sorry. I didn't mean to run into you," Charity said.
"It's okay. I am Harry Potter. What is your name?"
"I am Charity Harris. It's nice to meet you, Harry," she said.
He looked at her confuse and asked, "Don't you know who I am in the wizarding world?"
"What do you mean?"
Harry sighed in relief and said, "Nevermind, Charity."
Charity smiled and said, "Okay, then. I have to go and study for the potions test."
"Okay. I was just heading to the library to meet my friend, Ron Weasley."
They headed different ways.
Author Note: I really hope that you are liking the story so far. What are your thoughts on the story? Guessing on what's going to happen next? Should Charity find out who really she is now or wait in a few years? Should Neville find out who Charity's real parents are or not? If so, should he stop hanging out with her or not?
