Fred Septimus Weasley II
1.) He was born 2 weeks after Molly, coincidentally on April fool's day. George had begun crying and exclaimed, "This is the best birthday present I've received since the gift of Fred's presence on our last birthday together." Molly stroked his back and Angelina whispered the name to the doctors. There was not a doubt in her mind of what it should be.
2.) The morning after his birth, George stared at the birth certificate and seriously questioned Angelina, "Why was he not named Gred or Forge?"
3.) Teddy and Jacob were his role models growing up and he would often take the blame when one of their experiments went wrong.
4.) Fred loved to pretend adventures and quests in his backyard. Molly was constantly getting his sweaters back – needing repairs on the many tears and holes that were a result of his wild side.
5.) Another result of his wild side was having the ability to tell people that he had broken every bone in his body. Molly and Angelina scolded him countless times and Skele-Gro became his best friend. Angelina often whined, "You're even worse than your father!"
6.) He had already lived up to his namesake by the age of nine when he set off an explosion in the living room that turned his little sister, Roxanne's, hair pink. This was something Roxanne and Angelina would forever hate him for. And something his father would often tease Roxanne for.
7.) When Fred arrived at Hogwarts, he instantly knew he would be placed in Gryffindor and yelled out in celebration after he and Molly were sorted. He saw Professor McGonagall face palm and shake her head. She later wrote a letter to Molly I a month into the school year, praising the fact that Fred had not created a single incident yet.
8.) Molly later received another owl three months later when Fred handed out puking pastilles to a bunch of Slytherins.
9.) For a long time, his Aunt Katie had kept a distance from him and it had made him sad for he thought that she did not like him. It wasn't until his father told him, "It's nothing personal. It's just… You remind everyone a lot of him. Even more than Jacob sometimes…" that he understood his Aunt's actions. The next day, he sent her a bouquet of flowers and began visiting with her every week of that summer.
10.) Because of his weekly visits, Fred and Jacob had grown very close. Both boys wished desperately that they would magically wake up as brothers with Teddy.
11.) During a Quidditch match in his sixth year, he took a bludger to the head. Apparently, he spent two weeks in a coma at St. Mungo's. He awoke to his father bursting out into tears and hugging him so closely, admitting, "I thought I was going to lose you, Freddie." Fred began crying after he realized that 'Freddie' was something his father had called his twin brother. He had never seen his father so vulnerable and from that point on, George had become fiercely strict and over protective of Fred.
12.) He absolutely loved spell creation, charms, and transfiguration and was so star-struck with his own father's business. He loved watching his father invent something new and loved watching his parents bicker when one of the inventions went awry in the house. He could not wait to leave Hogwarts and one day, own the famous joke shop.
13.) He was tall, dark, and handsome. Many girls chased after him and his other male cousins.
14.) On his Graduation day, he and his father took a stroll by the Black Lake. "Y'know, this is where Fred and I decided that we wanted to make a joke shop. A life changing decision was made at this very spot – which is why I have brought you here. What did you need to tell me?" "I've decided to attend a muggle university – Oxford - and major in business. I think it could really help us out and all of the new things I learn will help me come up with new ideas." George laughed and joked, "I take you to a sacred spot where we brilliantly decided to drop out of Hogwarts, and you're telling me you want to go to a muggle school? I am soooo disappointed." Fred smiled and hit his father's arm, "At least I was never a prefect… or worse… Head Boy!" The two men broke out in laughter.
15.) His first year at Oxford came as a cultural shock to him. He learned many things about the muggle culture and came home to bond with Arthur Weasley about muggle trinkets and tools.
16.) During his third year, he was running late to class and accidentally bumped into a student while running up the stairs. Both of their belongings flew everywhere and they had stopped to pick everything up. As both of them looked up, Fred had instantly become a believer in love at first sight.
17.) Hollie Michaelson was a muggle and this fact was something that troubled Fred, for he feared what she would think about his magical world. After numerous dates, he decided to spill the beans and told her that he was a wizard. She had laughed at first but then her eyes widened when he performed a spell for her.
18.) Hollie's politician father was not supportive of his son-in-law being a "magician." He feared that news would break out of his involvement in a fictional reality so he remained estranged to the couple. Her mother, however, had grown to love Fred and had even discussed the wizarding world with a very fascinated Arthur Weasley.
19.) Together, the couple had one daughter – Savannah Eve.
