Lucy Eden Weasley
1.) Audrey's parents had always told her that they had almost named her Lucy. So when Audrey gave birth to a baby who did not cry coming out of the womb, she knew that this baby would be exactly like her – thus, named her Lucy.
2.) Molly noticed that Lucy stood out from the other Weasleys. She was quiet; but not in the way that Molly II was, for she was not shy. She was rather quiet and observant. She never cried or whined and even when she was hurt she would tell her worried Grandmother, "Don't worry, Grandmum! I'm a strong girl."
3.) She loved nature and the outdoors. She would cry every time Percy kept her indoors for too long and the only time she would throw tantrums was when Percy tried to restrict her to a corner to read. Audrey finally made him realize that their child was a hands-on learner.
4.) She was a bit of a problem child to Percy for she would often come home with an injured animal in her arms or dirt and grass stains all over her clothes. This was something that brightened the smile on Audrey's face and her maternal Grandparents would say, "She's exactly like her mother…"
5.) Percy's children ended up being the closest to Grandma Molly. Lucy had taken a liking to gardening and would happily de-gnome Molly's garden and help her grow an extensive collection of plants and tend to the variety of creatures that lived in the meadows of the Burrow. It was during one of their gardening days that Lucy told Molly, "Grandma, I want to be a naturalist one day!"
6.) When she was eight, she had been the only one to show compassion to Louis when his pet toad died. She held a funeral for Louis's little green friend and the two were close ever since.
7.) It was her Aunt Hermione that noticed Lucy's strong resemblance to Neville Longbottom and introduced the pair a year before Lucy went to Hogwarts. On his free time, he would take Lucy to many different Greenhouses around Britain and her love for herbology grew.
8.) When Lucy arrived to Hogwarts, she had been a Hat stall. The hat was torn between placing her in Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, or Hufflepuff. "You're a Weasley through and through – so Gryffindor. But you harbor so much knowledge and wit –so maybe Ravenclaw? But also… You have a pure heart and kind spirit… So it must be HUFFLEPUFF!"
9.) Much to Percy's dismay, she did not choose to overachieve in school. Instead, she chose to indulge herself in the subject that interested her such as: Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures, Astronomy, Charms and Transfiguration. She was in love with the world and every little being in it.
10.) She was Professor Longbottom's favorite student and it was he who introduced her to a magizoologist named Luna Lovegood-Scamander. This meeting changed Lucy's life and Luna took her under her wing and taught her everything about being a magizoologist. She was never so certain about anything else in her life.
11.) She was very close to her Uncle Charlie and he would always say, "I swear it's like you're my child. You're exactly like your brilliant Uncle Charlie!" Naturally, Charlie was very pleased when he learned she aspired to be a magizoologist and tried to convince her to become a dragonologist to which she responded, "Dragons seem like lovely creatures, Uncle… However, I would like to keep my eyebrows in tact!" And then proceeded to point to Charlie's missing eyebrows. (They were constantly getting burned off.)
12.) In her fourth year, she joined and became the captain of the Hufflepuff House team. That was the same year that she led the team to their first house cup victory in over a decade. This was something that left her cousins, family, and student body bewildered. No one knew how someone so nice could be so competitive and ruthless!
13.) Her cousins knew her as the "nice one" and she always walked around with a smile on her face and spoke with a very dreamy voice. Molly loved watching Lucy tend to her younger cousins' needs and deal with her older cousins' complains. Lucy seemed to be the only one in the family to understand everyone.
14.) Because she was never an over-achiever, she was very surprised that she was awarded the spot as Head Girl. Up until that moment, she knew that she had been a disappointment to Percy. So when he pulled her into a tight hug and said, "Sweetheart, I've never been so happy," tears welled up in her eyes and she harbored so much pride for finally making her father proud.
15.) After graduating Hogwarts, she worked with the Scamanders for a while and then embarked on her own journey around the globe to explore and discover different creatures.
16.) It was during her trip to Australia that she met a young muggle man named Cody White. She discovered that he was a zoologist that specialized in the study of Kangaroos and he took her around the Australian wilderness to explore the other animals that roamed around. It was somewhere in between these moments that she fell in love with him.
17.) A trip that was only supposed to last a week turned into a three month long stay where she came clean to him about her true background and where he told her, "Darling – witch, human, dragon, fairy, frog – I'd love you no matter what." She wrote to Dom telling her that Cody had taught her how to surf and a month later, the Weasley Clan was down under for their Beach side wedding ceremony.
18.) A year after their union, Cody was drafted into the war. They wrote to each other as much as they could and Lucy had faith that he would come home safely. Until one day, the letters stopped coming.
19.) At his funeral, Molly approached a teary Lucy and attempted to console her. However, Lucy just gently squeezed her Grandmother's hand, smiled, and said, "Don't worry Grandmum, I'm a strong girl. Remember?"
