Biography:


Ronald “Ron” Bilius Weasley was born March 1, 1980 to pureblood wizard Arthur and witch Molly Weasley. He is the sixth of seven children but the youngest son. He has a younger sister, Ginny, the first girl to be born in many generations. The Weasleys distinctive trait is their flaming red hair and freckles. They live at The Burrow, near the village of Ottery St.Catchpole. To most everyone’s surprise, Ron’s life has been anything but ordinary since the day he set foot in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but before that, he was quite a normal and ‘typical’ boy.

Endlessly teased, annoyed and harassed by his older brothers, Ron grew up in the shadow of achieving male siblings in a large, poor family. The Weasleys were full of love and pride however, and no matter his shame or disappointment in his own life, Ron has been and always will be fiercely loyal to his family.

Ron is someone who wants to be noticed and fit in, but despite that ambition, he’s really an all-around good guy. Throughout his life he’s been overshadowed by his five older brothers and found it hard to make himself stand out to his mother and others. This has put a damper on him, but once he befriended Harry, he lived somewhat off of the limelight that Harry constantly found himself in. This, however, is not to be confused with worshiping “The Boy Who Lived”.

Despite his lack of self-assertiveness and confidence, he has a mind of his own and strong opinions that many times finds him in awkward conversations and unwanted situations. Overall, Ron is friendly, somewhat outgoing (although he gets a bit nervous when the attention is on him), quick-tempered and a fiercely loyal friend.

Ron befriended the one and only Harry Potter, on their way to their first year of school at Hogwarts, on the Hogwarts Express, and after a small tiff became friends with Hermione Granger as well. Together, the three have managed to get themselves into more trouble than even Ron's older twin brothers get into… and that's saying a lot!.

First year proved to be interesting, getting to know Harry and Hermione and trying to solve the mystery of the Philosopher's Stone. At the end of this year, Harry, Ron and Hermione were forced to go through several rigorous tests to advance on the stone. Ron's incredible skills at chess helped Harry pass through McGonagall's enchanted chess set when he made a sacrificial movie in order for Harry to go ahead on his own, to get to the stone. It is by the end of this year that the three were tried and tested in their friendship and set to be friends for as long as time would permit.

Second year had Ron facing his worst fears--somewhat larger than life, as well. When Ron was three, he broke Fred's toy broomstick, and Fred retaliated by changing Ron's teddy bear into a giant spider, while Ron was holding it. Ron's been terrified of spiders ever since, although he can tolerate working with dead ones in Potions. After encountering Aragog in the forest, Ron was so afraid he threw up in Hagrid's pumpkin patch. It was in this year that his younger sister Ginny, a first year at the school and who felt a shadow to her brother and his two best friends, was possessed by Voldemort and almost died inside the Chamber of Secrets. Harry saved her in time, however and the trio once again survived another trying year of school in the mists of a battle between good and evil.

Their third year was definitely not scarce of adventure, getting Hagrid as a teacher and seeing Hermione in a bit of a different light as she overloads herself with work. After Hagrid lost Buckbeak's case, Ron took over responsibility for the appeal from Hermione, who was strained to the breaking point from her classload and he was deeply offended over the Committee's unjust handling of the final hearing. Ron found out that his pet rat who they'd named Scabbers was actually Harry's father's old mate Peter Pettigrew, who had sold out the Potters and gotten them killed by Voldemort. Ron also met Harry's godfather Sirius Black who was best friend's with James Potter, as well as another friends of Harry’s father, Remus Lupin who was their DADA teacher.

Fourth year struck a somewhat new cord in Ron's life: romance. Throughout his fourth year the bickering with Hermione intensified. He was highly annoyed that Hermione went to the Yule Ball with Krum, but never got around to asking her himself. He ended up going to the Ball with Padma Patil, but he was so busy glowering at Hermione and Krum that Padma abandoned him to dance with some boys from Durmstrang. Ron didn't seem to mind in the least. Ron and Harry also had their first major fight, not speaking to each other for a while until the second task when the thing Harry would miss most was revealed as none other than Ron.

Fifth year brought a turning point in the war, not to mention a turning point in Ron's life. After Percy's sworn allegiance to the Ministry and defiance of his own family, Ron was learning quickly that this war was definitely going to affect everyone. At the beginning of the year, Ron was made Prefect and got a new broom from his mother, as a reward: a Cleansweep 11. That Fall he tried out for the Gryffindor Quidditch team and was made Keeper.

Ron joined Hermione and a group of other students in forming a group to study Defense Against the Dark Arts from Harry. As a member of Dumbledore's Army, as they called themselves, Ron fought in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. He was wounded in that battle and spent a few days in the hospital wing recovering.

In sixth year, Ron resumed playing Quidditch. He and Hermione spent a lot of time dancing around their growing feelings for each other and things seemed to be shifting slightly when Hermione asked him to Slughorn’s (the DADA teacher) Christmas party. However, it was short lived and everything came to a head when Ron caught his sister Ginny snogging Dean Thomas, and when he tried laying down the law, she teased him about being the only one of their friends who had no snogging experience. She went even as far as angrily telling him that even Hermione had seen some action. Needless to say Ron was deeply hurt by this, despite it having taken place two years before, his already low self-confidence took an even greater beating so when Lavender Brown, another Gryffindor student, started flirting with him and paying attention to him, he impulsively started a relationship with her.

Obviously, this profoundly upset Hermione and to put it mildly, they had a huge fallout, they spent several months not talking nor spending time together. Until, Ron had a small brush with death when he was almost poisoned by a drink of mead on his 17th birthday. Thankfully, Harry saved him in the nick of time. However, this incident allowed Ron and Hermione to reconcile. Shortly after this episode, after realizing that Lavender wasn’t really who he wanted to be with, they broke up. Ron and Hermione grew steadily closer and more fond of each other over the remaining months at Hogwarts. It is at Dumbledore’s funeral when the Death Eaters had managed to infiltrate the school did their closeness come to bear when they held each other at his funeral.
