Louis Weasley

Author's Note: So I've seen tons of people doing these and I thought that one more person on the bandwagon wouldn't hurt. But anyway, I've always been interested in the next generation, even before we knew who they were. Since like book five. It's kind of ridiculous. Anyway, Louis is Bill and Fleur's youngest child and only son and this is my take on him. And I know everyone else always seems to start with James or Albus or Lily, but I've hardly touched them. Next up is Dominique and then probably Victoire and we'll go from there. But back to Louis. My heart really goes out to him, my version of him anyway, because he was always the awkward outcast of the Weasley family. Yes, even more awkward than Albus Severus the Slytherin. And yes, I'm convinced Al is a Slytherin.

1. He hates how people always mispronounce his name. Speaking English they always pronounce it the English way rather than the French way as his mother intended. However he's too shy to correct them and so unless Dominique or Victoire or one of his cousins say something people just say it that way. Half of his professors didn't know how to properly say his name until his third year. Sometimes he wishes his family wouldn't correct people and just save everyone the embarrassment.

2. Louis is gay, but most of his family doesn't know that. In fact, there's only one person in the entire world who does and that's his older sister, Dominique. He's afraid of what his parents or cousins or other relations would think of him if he were to tell them and so he hasn't. Dom assures him that no one will hate him for it, but he can't help but think otherwise. Every time he even thinks about telling him he can imagine the jokes that Freddy and James would start cracking and he decides against it. It's not like he's ever had a boyfriend anyway.

3. His sister, Dominique that is, is his best friend without a doubt. Maybe it's because they're polar opposites. He loves everything about her and once even asked his mother why they couldn't have been born twins. In those two years when she'd been off at Hogwarts and he hadn't he'd missed her terribly. When he was sorted into Hufflepuff and not Gryffindor with her he was disappointed to no end. Not that he'd ever expected to be a Gryffindor; he just wanted to be with his sister. Despite the house and age difference they were remained best friends and still are.

4. Louis was awful at quidditch. He had wanted to be good at it so that maybe he could connect with his father through that, but the moment he tried to clamber onto a broomstick he fell right back off. He tried to get Dom to help him and she helped to the best of her abilities but it was apparent that he was a lost cause. After a few months of continuous failure he gave up and resigned himself to just going back and living in the shadows of his siblings. He always felt like an outcast during the quidditch games at the family gatherings but Grandma Molly always let him hang out with her.

5. He'd actually been the one to introduce Lysander and Dominique, but he never expected that when he did he'd be introducing his sister to the love of her life. Louis never expected to pine after Lysander in the years to come either. He adored his quirky fellow Hufflepuff and often wished that Lysander wouldn't look at his sister so. That day that Dom kissed him in the Great Hall Louis felt his heart shatter into a million pieces. It was only worse when almost three years later he had to the best man at their wedding.

6. He loved visiting his grandparents on his father's side. In his mind they were the two single most amazing people in all of the world. Grandma Molly always had plenty of food for him in addition to a big hug and a warm smile. Not to mention she knitted the best sweaters. He loved them no matter how much his cousins complained of how they itched. Well, he loved them except for that one time he'd been given Lily's bright pink sweater with the white L on accident. Grandfather Arthur was just as much fun and Louis took a great deal of interest in all the muggle stuff his grandfather introduced him to.

7. Louis can't stand when girls throw themselves at him. See he was easily one of the best looking guys in Hufflepuff being part veela and all, but even before he realized that he was gay it was awkward when girls would make googly eyes at him. He just didn't know how to react to it. Sometimes he thinks that being part veela is really more of a curse than anything else and he can't understand why Vicky likes it so much.

8. Despite what other people might say he happens to be rather fond of Celestina Warbeck and can't imagine a Christmas without her songs blaring through the speakers of the old radio at the Burrow. His cousins love to make fun of him whenever they happen to catch him humming one of her tunes absentmindedly under his breath, but his love for her music is one of the few things in life that he doesn't mind standing up for.

9. To be honest sometimes he just wants to move to France and live there. He's far more fluent in the language than either of his sisters and besides that it would be a clean slate without all of his family constantly there. Louis loves his family because they're his family but sometimes he really thinks he could do without them. Plus he just thinks it would be a good experience for him and maybe he'd finally get to be more independent.

10. On his sixteenth birthday he begged Grandfather Arthur to take him shopping in muggle London. His grandfather agreed and at the end of the day Louis came back with a motorcycle. They hide it at the Burrow so that his parents didn't find out and he's yet to ride it but he's been promising himself that he will once his grandfather figures out how to charm the thing to fly. Wouldn't that be a sight?

Author's Note: Now this part I decided to add in on my own. Basically it's a song that reminded me of the character. Simple enough, huh? He was hard to pick one for but I think this one kind of fits because in the end I think Louis just wants everyone to be happy.
