Molly Weasley – 2014
11 year old Molly Weasley was exactly like her father, hard working, determined, a stickler for rules and occasionally a bit of a prat, just like her father. However all it took was her 7 year old sister to say 'Molly, you're not Daddy' and she was brought right back down to earth. You could say she was a young Hermione Weasley. Molly preferred that comparison. And when she walked through the doors to the Great Hall she thought to herself; in 6 years I am going to be just like Daddy and be Head Girl, I know it. Yes, she very much was like her father. And she wanted to make him proud and she knew she'd do that by being a Gryffindor girl. As she stood next to Dominique she nervously thought about what she would have to say to her father if she was not put n the house she so longed to be in when her thoughts were interrupted by her cousin fighting with another student.
'Dominique, behave!' she hissed although her cousin paid no attention to her. Merlin's sake, if Dominique gets me in trouble on my first day I will have her head! She thought as she watched her cousin become a Gryffindor,
'Weasley, Molly'
I haven't heard that name in a while. Now let me have a little look inside your mind….ah yes.
What?
You are very like your father.
Tell me something I don't know.
Yes, very keen to prove yourself, with high goals and a sharp mind, no doubt about it, and there is definitely a drive to work here….so like your father.
Gryffindor then?
Hmmm I think not, there is something missing…
Something missing? Just perfect. So I'm not going to be in Gryffindor? Well guess I'll start practicing my letter to Daddy now…
Ah there it is!
What?
That courage. You understood that you weren't going to be in Gryffindor like you father and took it very well! I knew you were worried about that but when you faced up to your greatest fear and began to think how you would tell your father you showed immense courage. Molly Weasley, you are a true…
'GRYFFINDOR!'
And so Molly Weasley took off the hat with a huge sigh of relief thankful she actually didn't have to face up to the task of telling her father she wasn't in the house he had wanted her to join since before she could walk. And with that she went and sat alongside her cousin Dominique with a huge grin on her face.
