I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER


Molly Catalina Weasley

September 29, 2003

1. Molly was ambitious

She always dreamed about being Minister of Magic. Visiting her father at work had been some of her favorite memories from her childhood. Once she got to Hogwarts, she knew that if she was to be minister someday that she would have to be the top of her class; her grades rivalling Hermione's. Once she reached 5th year, she was distraught to find out she wasn't chosen to be prefect, convinced that "only prefects can become minister!" Yet, by 7th year she was Head Girl, and happy to tell anyone who had ears. It only took her 23 years to go from a low key worker in the Department of Magical Education to Minister of Magic, lasting for a successful 12 years until she left the Ministry to teach charms at Hogwarts and, at age 64 became Headmistress. Yes, no one could argue that Molly was extremely ambitious.

2. Her favorite cousin was Rose

As young children, they got along well enough, but Rose was never without Albus. It wasn't until the younger Weasley reached Hogwarts that the two girls really became close. They were both ambitious, smart, sarcastic—not to mention tall. Rose became the one that Molly went to when she wanted to gather Hogwarts gossip, or needed help studying, or even just hanging out during a Weasley brunch.

3. Molly was asexual

The only one she ever told was her sister. She was just never interested in sex, or any romance for that matter. Romance would distract her from her work, anyway. And she didn't need a soulmate, she had her sister, parents, and eventually, her nieces and nephews

4. She played chaser

As a typical Weasley, she played quidditch. Winning the Quidditch cup twice during her time at Hogwarts, she was fairly talented. Although, with Molly, Victoire, and Dominique all on one team, no one doubted their inevitable victory that year.

5. She could never solve the door riddles

Molly would have to sit outside the common room door waiting for some other Ravenclaw to come along and solve it for her. She couldn't remember how many times she had to wait for the prefects to be back from their rounds. It got to the point where they made Ravenclaw Tower a part of their route just in case Molly was sitting there. It made her feel like a failure to the Ravenclaw house

6. She never understood why witches and wizards saw muggles as a different species

It was probably because her mum was a muggle, but there wasn't that much different between muggles and wizards—only what the muggles did to make up for the amenities wizards had magic for. In her third year she took muggle studies to see how wizards viewed them. Merlin, they were ignorant

7. Molly adored Christmas

It was easily her favorite holiday. Not only did she love the mint green sweater she received every year from Nana Weasley, but the family snowball fight was the best tradition ever known. Spending the day in the snow, only to come in to hot chocolate and Aunt Ginny's famous Christmas cookies, Christmas was one of the only times Molly took off to truly relax.

8. Molly and Lucy's relationship was only rivalled by Molly and Cara's

The saying "Sisters by fate, friends by choice" definitely applies to Molly and Lucy. There is no secret one of them has that the other doesn't know. Before Molly went to Hogwarts, you would never see one without the other. Nana Weasley claimed the two were as close as Uncle George and his twin, Fred.

And then Molly went to Hogwarts, leaving her little sister behind for a year. And that was when she met Cara Bella.

The Bella family, like Molly's own, consisted of a magical parent and a muggle—but in her case, the father was the muggle and her mother was a witch. The two bonded almost instantly while telling stories about their accidental magic wile in the muggle world.

It was easy to tell that Lucy was jealous. When she received letters home, with Molly's neat cursive gushing about her new brunette friend, she couldn't help but turn green with envy. Why was that girl stealing her sister? It wasn't until the younger Weasley joined the two girls at Hogwarts and gained friends in her own year that the two girls realized they could have other best friends, yet still be best friends

After all: Sisters by fate, friends by choice.

9. She looked like a true Weasley

With two redhead parents, it's easy to see why. Molly was pale and tall—the only other person who could match her height (excluding the boys) was Rose. Her hair was pin-straight and a bright, sunny shade of red, in true Weasley fashion. Her freckles, which came more from her father instead of her mother, covered every part of her body; from her wide cheekbones to her small, rectangular feet. The only thing that set her truly apart from her father's generation of Weasleys was the small gray-blue eyes, surrounded by short lashes. Unlike her father and sister, who both had Arthur Weasley's bright sky blue eye color, Molly's were almost identical to a Malfoy's eye. Her color tended to change depending on her outfit or the sun outside, becoming brighter in the summer when the girl dressed in a sunny yellow, to being grayer—even close to white—when it was an overcast winter day.

10. She swore like a sailor

The first time she ever said a curse word, she was four years old. The family was spending a Sunday at the Burrow, like they usually did. Being late May, they had decided to eat lunch outside. And then Rose decided to dirty her diaper. Molly, being an ever-curious four year old, decided to follow Ron into the Burrow as he went to change the baby's diaper. While he was cleaning her… private parts, he somehow managed to accidentally push Rose off of the table she was laying on. His loud, "FUCK!" before the 14 month old stopped her fall (Merlin bless accidental magic) was not missed by Molly's ears. So, the next day, when Lucy swiped her elder sister's sugar quill, the F-bomb made its way out of the little girl's lips, much to her parent's surprise.

Up until Hogwarts, she didn't have many other swear words pass through her lips. And then peeves gave her a whole new vocabulary
