| Name: | Bill Weasley | |||||||||
| Bio: | William Arthur WeasleyI can tell you now, there ain't a problem that can't be solved PLACE OF BIRTH/CURRENT RESIDENCE: The Burrow, Ottery St. Catchpole, England / Cornwall, England OWL AND/OR PETS: Combattant, the Siberian Husky, Strips and Fang, their cats, and the family's owl, Badger HOUSE: Gryffindor Alum YEAR: Class of 1988 Family Pureblood traitor, and proud to be one. He has no qualms about his status and is more than willing to side by his muggleborn and half-blood friends. Arthur Weasley--Father Molly Weasley nee Prewett--Mother. Molly had always regarded Bill as her pride and joy, the leader of her small pack. Her near-hatred of Fleur, however, was more than obvious, and Bill has found himself walking on eggshells around her ever since. Charlie Weasley--Younger Brother by 3 Years. The closest to Bill not only in age, but as brothers. Worries constantly about him being in Romania, but knows if anyone can take care of himself versus the dragons, his outdoorsy, atheltic younger brother can. Percy Weasley--Younger Brother by 6 Years Fred and George Weasley--Twin Younger Brothers by 8 Years Ronald Weasley--Younger Brother by 10 Years Ginevra Weasley--Younger Sister by 11 Years. Bill's one true weak spot among the mass of boys. Can still easily wrap him around her little finger, although he has picked up on her dislike of Fleur and is somewhat hurt by it. Fleur Weasley, nee Delacour--Wife, married in June of 1997. Damien Weasley - Son, 15 Sabrina Weasley - Daughter, 14 Charles Weasley - Son, 12 Felix Weasley - Son, 9 Victoire Weasley - Daughter, 7 Uncles Gideon and Fabian Prewett--Died during the first war, members of the original Order Great Auntie Muriel--Offered the goblin-made tiara that Fleur wore during her wedding to Bill that Molly offered HISTORY: Bill Weasley was never exactly...perfect. Like many little kids, and the majority of the Weasleys, Bill had a bit of a wild streak. He climbed trees, he jumped off the roof in an attempt to fly (fortunately only spraining an ankle), and he taunted his younger brothers constantly. Bill's one true responsible point was little Ginny when she came into the world. Where he felt he could be very rough and tumble with the boys, he was always much more gentle and caring with Ginny. Unfortunately, all of his brothers didn't agree, and Ginny turned into a bit of a spitfire anyway, but Bill will say wholeheartedly that that isn't his fault. He's very protective of all of his siblings, though, taking his responsibility as the oldest quite seriously and though he's allowed to torture and torment them, no one else can. It's that hint of responsibility that made him perfect to be a prefect during his Hogwarts years. At first, Molly and Arthur were a bit surprised their oldest son had been trusted with such an honour. It wasn't long, though, before they were reveling in it, letting Bill have a bit more freedom around the house and buying him his own owl, a small screech owl named Edwina. At first, he flaunted his new status, especially over his younger brothers, Charlie and Percy. It didn't take long for the novelty to wear off, though, and before long he'd settled into simply taking points when necessary (with an occasional jab at the Slytherins when possible). Ancient runes, arithmancy, and charms had all been strong points of Bill's, and when the time came to take his OWLs, he admitted to Minerva McGonagall, already Gryffindor Head of House, that he'd like to work as a curse breaker. Due to Bill's 'look' and his wild manner, McGonagall had questioned his judgment at first. It was difficult work, and quite a professional position. He threw himself headfirst into his studies, however, even earning himself a place as Head Boy during his seventh year. His determination paid off, and when Bill pulled in several top mark NEWTs, McGonagall more than willingly wrote him a letter of recommendation. After two years of training, he was sent out to Egypt to retrieve the fortunes buried deep within the ancient tombs. Bill loved adventure, and his time in Egypt embraced that. He quickly grew accustomed to the hot sun and the biting sand. It was in Egypt where Bill first truly fell in love. He'd dated around a bit at Hogwarts, and even had a couple of serious girlfriends. But in Egypt, he met a witch working alongside of him, a Spanish girl named Elena. The two began a relationship a few years into Bill's time there. The subject of marriage had even come up, and Bill was preparing himself to propose. But everything came to a halt when he went up to Hogwarts to watch Harry participate in the Triwizard Third Task. He fully believed the news that Voldemort had returned. Elena didn't, insulted his family and friends who did believe, and the relationship quickly fizzled. Bill was more than willing to pack up and move back to London, taking a desk job at Gringott's to be near his family and the Order, which he'd promptly begged to be a part of. During his time at Hogwarts for the Tournament, he'd been so focused on Elena that it had never occured to him to take a second look at the Beauxbatons champion. She was too young to receive more than a second glance anyway. At least, in his mind. And by the time he returned to London and began working for the wizarding bank in a more stable environment, Bill had let all thoughts of the part-Veela slip his mind. He was still heartbroken over Elena's distrust in him, and anxious about his and his family's part in the cause. The idea of another relationship wasn't even in his cards. But Fleur Delacour wasn't born to the daughter of a Veela for no reason. Though it took some prodding from his coworkers, he finally noticed the younger girl's interest and asked her for a date. Her English was shaky, his French was worse, but they slowly began to form a relationship despite the odds. His mother didn't approve because she thought Fleur was spoiled and snobby. Fleur's parents didn't approve because Bill was poor. But, after several long talks and quite a few dates, Bill found Fleur supported the Order's beliefs, and during the summer of 1996, he proposed. He knew they'd have much to overcome, but Bill figured it would all fall into place in time. What Bill hadn't counted on, though, was the last and worst obstacle before his marriage. He was asked by Dumbledore to help patrol at the school with McGonagall, Tonks, and Remus. It sounded so routine that Bill didn't hesitate to head up to Hogwarts and do just that. The details are still fuzzy. He remembers hearing voices. He remembers unfamiliar faces. And the next thing he remembers is immense pain. He woke up in the hospital wing hours later, only vaguely remembering his wand being knocked out of his hand as he was pounced by a full grown human being. Not only had he lost one of his strongest mentors, but he'd be disfigured for the rest of his life and was facing life as a newlywed with a strain of werewolf as yet undiscovered in him. For the most part, though, things fell into place for Bill. Though he doesn't fully transform, as it wasn't a full moon when Greyback attacked him, he does get a bit more body hair and his limbs do grow a bit longer, a painful process helped by Wolfsbane. More lasting effects include a taste for more rare meat and a weak, tired feeling around the full moon. The hardest part, though, was coming to terms with the fact that he wasn't, in face, the perfect, good-looking oldest Weasley brother any longer. Though never truly vain, Bill had come to take his looks for granted. With the support from his fiance, plus the apparent truce between Molly and Fleur, Bill was able to overlook the physical and focus on the fact that he was alive. He even went so far as to cut his beloved ponytail--mostly because he had to face extra hair as it was, but also because he'd do anything to make Molly happy with the worry she'd been through. It was that attack, though, that caused he and Fleur to agree to keep their marriage quiet. Most in the wizarding world didn't even know the wedding had occured, outside of Bill and Fleur's friends and families. His sole goal was to keep his new wife and his family safe. Just as he had as a young child, Bill threw himself whole-heartedly into being protective and putting his family (and his close friends by extension) into as much of a safe situation as he could. Bill threw himself fully into the war when he joined Fleur in moving into Hogwarts castle to take care of 7th year Hufflepuff Justin Finch-Fletchley's little brother. The move ended up being beneficial for them both. While Fleur had her own student, Bill ended up helping out around the castle, and eventually caring for and becoming close to Theodore Nott. Teddy had been attacked with the Cruciatus, and Bill and some of the other adults got it in their heads that the Slytherin Head Boy needed more protection than he was currenly having. Though Bill was slightly worried about taking in the son of a Death Eater, and Teddy had been told terrible things about 'those Weasleys', the two formed a fast friendship that lasts to this day. Teddy's spells and charms grew stronger, as did Bill's leadership abilities. It also proved to make his way towards befriending the Nott family, who'd joined the Order as a matter of protection for the whole family. It was February of that year when Bill's life was turned upside down yet again. In the midst of their celebrating Valentine's Day, Fleur informed him she was expecting. As the war escalated, baby Damien was born, and Bill knew they needed to end things once and for all. He threw himself as much into the war as he used to in everything else he'd done. He even made his leave from Gringotts official, citing his attack and the loss of people he was close to as his reasons. He began helping the Order in every way he knew. But as the war came to an end, he found himself a bit lost. Not that he'd wanted it to go on, exactly. It had just taken a bit of his sense of purpose-not to mention he wasn't bringing in an income any longer. He worked a few odd jobs to support Fleur and their son, but when his wife turned up pregnant again, he knew what he had to do. No, he couldn't return to the pyramids of Egypt, but he'd still found he could keep up with his sense of responsibility and he'd always felt important when working for the wizarding bank. So he made his way back to Gringotts and ended up having a chat with the goblins. With his father's position in the Ministry and his families extensive connection to muggles and muggleborns, Bill ended up as a liasion between Gringotts and several muggle banks in England. It was good work, steady work, and most importantly, it brought in a good cheque. Which was incredibly important, considering their family simply kept growng. Sabrina was followed by three more siblings, each unique and special in ways Bill hadn't understood before. As a kid, he'd always teased his mum about having so many of them when they all looked the same. But as he held each new child, he finally understood what it meant to give life to every individual. He loves his children, and Fleur, too, of course, and it was together that they two of them decided to raise their chilren in a cottage, far away from it all. They found the place in Cornwall, near the beach and the Muggle tourism. It actually worked out well for Bill's job, and he would never deny loving the ocean. Raising his kids to love nature didn't hurt either, and he's loving every moment of watching them grow into miniature versions of himself and Fleur. DESCRIPTION: Being the oldest has instilled an unshakeable sense of responsibility in Bill. With so many younger siblings, he's completely protective, and that has spread over the years to his friends as well as his family. A few ex-girlfriends even grew to resent how protective and considerate he could be. Molly's also raised him to be extremely polite, and Arthur has taught him respect. In American culture, he'd be a boyscout he's so...nice. Despite everything that's happened to him, however, Bill is still a fun-loving, mischievous guy. A blend of all of his siblings, Bill's got the twins sense of trouble, Percy's maturity, Charlie's zest for life, Ron's devotion and loyalty, and Ginny's passion and fire. Where Fleur appreciates the finer things in life, Bill embraces the small things. Growing up in such a large, poor family, Bill had to be very understanding about not having the best. He's very street smart, compassionate, and accepting. Never holding any resentment for their family's lack of funds, Bill always let comments about the Weasleys' wealth slide off his back. Instead, he compensated by wrapping himself up in things he considered 'fun'. He played Quidditch as a chaser during his last two years of school, he loves going to Wizard rock concerts (and has even slipped into a few Muggle ones), and of course, there's that adventerous streak that led him to Egypt instead of a nice, safe job in London. He's also very protective. The same watchful eye that used to keep the twins at least somewhat in hand and take care of Ron and Ginny with a nearly possessive nature now watches over his wife and children. He's a good father, caring and loving, but no one harms his family. No one. | |||||||||
