family

is a pureblood

family

known for being blood traitors to other pureblood families. "We have a very different idea about what disgraces the wizard Malfoy's name." All Wealseys have bright red hair and are known to be poor. In this video I am going to talk about the

origins

of the main Weasley family, who appeared in the Harry Potter series. Left alone with the parents and the seven children. (♪) So let's start with the parents of the seven children, Arthur Weasley was one of the three children of parents Septimus and Cedrella Weasley.

Cedrella was actually from the House of Black, another well-known pureblood family. Molly Prewett was one of three and was the only girl. Her brothers' names were Fabian and Gideon. Both Molly and Arthur attended Hogwarts in the early '60s and were both sorted into Gryffindor. That's how the two met. The two hit it off at Hogwarts and one night they decided to go for a night walk around the gardens at 4 in the morning and were caught by the school's caretaker at the time, Apollyon Pringle. The two graduated from Hogwarts in the late 1960s and married soon after.

Their marriage was quite rushed due to Voldemort's reign. Although they were heavily involved in the Order of the Phoenix during the Second Wizarding War, they were not involved in the Order of the First Wizarding War. Instead, they continued to raise their family. Their first son was born in 1970 and they named him William, but he would be called Bill for short. Two years later, their second son, Charlie, was born in 1972, their third son, Percy, was born four years later in 1976, and they then had twins in 1978, named Fred and George. In 1980 they had Ron and finally in 1981 they had their daughter Ginny.

While Molly was raising her family, her two brothers Fabian and Gideon joined the order and fought against Voldemort and his Death Eaters, both of whom died when five Death Eaters attacked them. Alastor Moody, one of the most respected Aurors, said that they both fought like heroes. The five Death Eaters would be locked up in Azkaban for the

death

of the Prewett brothers. Molly rarely talked about the

death

of her siblings, which could possibly be because she was distraught and did not want to relive the pain. However, everything she mentions is all positive. Molly would give the watch to Harry Fabian when he turned seventeen, making him come of age in the Wizarding World in 1981, when Voldemort was defeated at the hands of one-year-old Harry Potter and the First Wizarding War ended.

People no longer had to live in fear and the Weasleys were able to raise their children in a peaceful atmosphere now that no one threatened the Wizarding World. Around the time of Voldemort's fall, Percy took possession of a rat he named Scabbers, and the Weasleys all grew up in a house called The Burrow. It was described thus: "it looked as if it had once been a large stone pigsty, but there were extra rooms." They had been added here and there, so it was several stories high and so twisted that it looked as if it were held up by magic.” Molly self-educates her children in reading, writing, and simple mathematics before they go to Hogwarts.

They were very poor and struggling to survive. "This lot won't be cheap mom, the spell books alone are very expensive. We'll manage." Arthur was an employee of the Ministry of Magic and was part of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts office. Arthur was very fascinated with Muggles and their technology, he bought a Muggle car and put a spell on it to make it fly. In reality, he does exactly what his division in the ministry tries to prevent wizards from doing, which is using magic on muggle objects, yet he wrote the law and deliberately put a loophole in there so he can get his way.

Fred and George were always a problem for Arthur and Molly; It wouldn't be unusual to hear explosions coming from your room; They frequently bullied their brothers Percy and Ron. When Fred was five, Ron broke his broom and turned his teddy bear into a giant spider, which was actually what sparked Ron's fear of spiders. "Why spiders?" The twins also gave seven-year-old Ron a sour pop that burned a hole in his tongue. They also almost got Ron to make an unbreakable vow and Arthur was furious one Christmas. Fred and George placed a dung bomb under their great-aunt Muriel's chair, causing her to cut them out of her will and never returning.

The Burrow again, all the children followed and played Quidditch. Ginny, the youngest and only girl, couldn't play with them when she was younger. From the age of six, however, she would break into the family's broom shed and chase everyone out. of her brooms and they will try to make each one of them fly. Finally, children began to be old enough to go to school. Unfortunately, due to their lack of money, they had to buy everything second-hand and accept used things.
