Peter X Charity - Blog Posts

PLS tell me more about peter and charity! i'm in love

OH MY GOD YES THANK YOU!!

In Hogwarts, Peter always thought she was really pretty. He was shy and quiet in public, but very funny and charismatic when he got close to people. He’s not a conversationally attractive guy, and he’s pretty insecure about that. He’s very smart, smarter than most people give him credit for. He’s obviously good at transfiguration, being an animagus and all, but I also think he excels in herbology, care of magical creatures, and history of magic. He has a snarky, sometimes cruel side, especially when he’s younger. He likes pranks and he’s the kind of person that can and will hold grudges (he works on that and being unnecessarily cruel when he’s older, don’t worry). When he’s at Hogwarts, he goes on a handful dates, but nothing really sticks. Once he graduates, he decides to focus more on his friends, family, and career. He, again, goes on a date or two, but never makes it past the third date.

Background stuff: 5’3, fat, straight + demisexual+demiromantic, healer who specializes in kiddos, grew up with a single mother and big sister. His father was a muggle who left a little after he was born because the guy couldn’t deal with magic anymore. He visited with his grandparents a lot growing up and was very close with them (they helped his mom out a lot!). He doesn’t have any cousins or uncles/aunts.

Charity, meanwhile, was very popular. She had a big friend group and knew a lot of people outside of that. She’s very, very kind and compassionate, very much a lover, not a fighter, and very pretty. She was a Hufflepuff, so they didn’t talk a lot, but I do think that they were both in the chess club for a little while. She was also very smart, excelling in muggle studies (obvs), charms, herbology, care of magical creatures, and ancient runes. She’s very forgiving and always sees the best in people, but it sometimes goes to the extent of her becoming a doormat and being too trusting of the wrong people. In Hogwarts, she goes out with a lot of guys (and even some girls), even has a couple of relatively longterm partners. Later in life, it’s about the same. She’s a few months out of a 5-odd year relationship when she meets him. Her friend group also gets smaller and closer as she gets older.

Background stuff: either 4’10 or 5’5 (can’t decide if I like the idea of her being taller or shorter than Peter but I’m leaning towards shorter because I think it fits her personality better) quite small, either pansexual or bisexual, muggle studies professor at Hogwarts, grew up as the youngest of four sisters with a loving mom and dad. She’s a pureblood, but she has a muggle grandmother whom she loves dearly. She’s the biggest daddy’s girl in the world and is very close to her sisters. She has a few aunts/uncles on both sides and a lot of cousins. Family reunions are big for her!

Between them, Charity is the more confident one. She asks him out. It’s a private affair, they’re just sitting together and she turns to him and admits that she likes him a lot. They’re ~30 by then. By that point, they’ve been friends of varying degrees of closeness since they were ~24. They’re pretty fast friends and start to like each other relatively soon, but Charity is nervous about taking it further after her recent breakup and Peter doesn’t want to ruin their friendship. When she’s recovered from that, she waits a few years again because she also doesn’t want to ruin it.

They are very much the dates-in-the-park and cute little hangouts kind of couple. They both like romance a lot and enjoy very stereotypical couple dates. They do a lot of cute PDA (i.e. cheek kissing, hand holding, whispering to each other) and really enjoy quiet, domestic time with one another. If they love soppy, sickeningly sweet movies and quoting the sappiest lines at each other.

Moving in together/getting together is easy for them because of how long they’d known each other by then. They both love sleep, so they spend a lot of time cuddling in bed, just existing together. Their favourite thing to do is slowly wake up in the morning, kiss and snuggle for a while, go back to bed, and repeat a few times until they decide it’s time to actually wake up. They also both like cooking and food, so they make it a point to cook, at the very least, breakfast and dinner together. They also bake together quite often.

If they’d gotten together in Hogwarts, I think they would’ve loved going to parties together, but, as they get older, I think it would become less and less important to them. As it stands, they are the most domestic domestics to ever domestic. Charity also gets align with the Marauders really well, even though she thought they were a little obnoxious back in Hogwarts. Peter gets on with her friends (Aurora Sinatra, Sybill Trelawny, Septima Vector, Bathsheda Babbling) as well.

Ultimately, they fit together really nicely and I love them so much. I think they’re so cute!!

Holy shit that got long. I hope you were looking for a lot of info.

My Marauders group ships! I know that Charity/Peter isn’t popular at all (I’m pretty sure I made it up) but it’s captured my heart. Closeups under the cut! Featuring: my headcanons for their handwriting and eyes, along with the symbols I’ve given them.

May I suggest Peter Pettigrew x Charity Burbage? I think that would be fun. I headcannon Peter as being really insecure hit desperately wanting someone to love him, then Charity, an attractive, kind, confident girl just kind of. Shows up? She pinches his cheeks and kisses his nose a lot. He melts every time. His friends tease him about it, but they’re all way worse about their significant others.

I think that in a good AU, Peter would become a healer, probably one that specializes in treatment of kiddos (wizard family doctor/paediatrician). We know that Charity is a professor at Hogwarts. I think they didn’t really know each other when they were students. They knew of each other, I think, but only had a couple of conversations in shared classes. Peter always thought she was pretty, but never did anything about it.

Later in life, they met and got closer through Remus when he became a professor, too, at some point in their mid-early 20s. They took it very slowly, starting as acquaintances, then friends, then, after at least a few years, started dating. Now, despite getting together so slowly, I think that they were close enough by the time they finally made it official that they were a bit quicker than usual when it came to becoming serious. The second they got together, they were exclusive. Maybe eight months later they move in together. I’m imagining they’re nearing 30 at this point.

When they get engaged, it’s Charity who gets down on one knee. They get married, like, a year after moving in together. Not a lot of people are invited, but it’s a pretty big event. They both like big parties and events, but they also have a strong sense of family and would want to keep their close friends/family there without people they don’t know well.

Anyways that’s my rant for tonight thank you so much for reading. Please accept my contributions.
