“ so ye want me a take all tha’ risks then once ye know its safe then ye’ll do it ? ” she teased , not actually caring too much about all that . mary was just happy arthur wasn’t going to stop her .
“ something like that, yeah. ” arthur laughed with a nod of his head. “ and at least this way, i’ll be able to save you if you fall? you know, magic and stuff. ” he smiled at mary then, hoping that she wasn’t too bothered about him wanting her to go first.

as he heard his voice, arthur looked over his shoulder, a smile spreading across his face as he realised it was sirius. he always enjoyed talking to the other so he definitely couldn’t wait to see what his friend had in store. he raised an eyebrow as he looked at the lamp in the others hands. “ woah...! ” arthur laughed as he watched the lamp, “ you’re not doing that?! ” he asked, getting excited at just the idea of the lamp, “ and you don’t think we can convince the others to let us have this in the dorm? ”
she’d been bitter most of the week– it could have been for several reasons, her brothers getting on her case, her workload tripling, or the fact that the words exchanged between her and marlene on the train had left her a little reeling. seeing him softened the emotion in her gut slightly, but didn’t quite calm the storm within her. She pulled her coat a little tighter around her frame, the slightly tattered tweed scratching at her chin as a smile moved over her features.
with one last deep breath to rid herself of ill emotion, molly pushed her hands into her coat pocket before throwing him a smile. “definitely not waiting for anyone.” she mused. “and i’m in need of copius amounts of sugar– so much sugar, I shake. doable? i think so.”
the last thing that arthur wanted to ever do was to add to mollys problems. but he couldn’t wait to be spending more time with her. he was a generally happy person but when he was around her, that seemed to be his default setting.
arthur wasn’t sure what had happened but he was glad that it meant he got to spend more time with molly. he chuckled as she spoke. arthur had always enjoyed his time with molly but he was sure today was going to add to it. “oh - i like that plan. i’m gonna join you with that plan. it’s absolutely doable.” he beamed at molly before he held out his arm to her, “lets get going.”

“ oh - i’m sorry. i didn’t mean to startle you. ” he settle on one of the benches to her right, at the next table. he had no problem with anyone. if you were in a different house, arthur wouldn’t let that cloud his judgement for anyone. “ yeah, me too. ” he chuckled with a nod of his head. he had no idea that she had been unable to sleep and even if he did - arthur wasn’t the kind of person that would judge her for that. he would just hope that she would get the sleep she needed eventually. he looked over her shoulder to try and see what she was studying. “ what have you got there? ” he asked her, shooting her a quick smile.
arthur smiled as he looked over at peter. he had been in the common room with the other for a little while now, in silence. the nice kind of silence though. the comfortable kind of silence. “do you fancy going to get some food in the kitchens?” arthur asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. “the house elves love me so we should be able to get a decent stash.” it was quite a common occurrence that arthur was hungry.
arthur sighed as he turned over in his bed. he had, had a nightmare, about what was to come. it seemed like his dreams were just getting worse and worse. arthur could almost think about nothing else. he sat up in his bed, almost certain that he wasn’t about to get back to sleep any time soon. he looked around at the other boys and chuckled as he spotted james, “what are you doing awake?” he whispered, raising an eyebrow as he did so. he and james had always gotten along quite well but they never really talked much. “everything alright?”
arthur couldn’t help but smile as he came down from the common room to see molly. he wasn’t sure when his thoughts about her had changed - but over the last year or so, they certainly had. he had always appreciated her company, always thought that she was a beautiful girl but it seemed like now he thought about her more, felt something more towards her. though he didn’t know how comfortable he was about sharing that with her, at least just yet.
it was the weekend and arthur hoped to be able to spend some time with the readhead. “are you going to hogsmeade this weekend? if you’re not waiting for anyone, we could head over?” he asked with a smile. it wasn’t unusual for the two of them to spend time together so he didn’t feel nervous asking her. “my sweet stash is getting dangerously low. i need to re stock.”
arthur had gotten used to being up early while he had been at home and it was something that hadn’t stopped now he was back at school. he liked being up early enough to have some quiet, to spend a little time with his thoughts. the first thing he did that morning, though, was get himself a cup of tea. he smiled as he spotted another person close by, “i didn’t expect anyone else to be up this early.” he chuckled slightly. “can’t sleep or up for the day?”
“ i’m saying it might not be the smartest idea around but - you know what? if you do it, then i’m in too. why not , right? we’ve all gotta have a bit of fun every now and again. ”
( cis male | he/him | chance perdomo ) —— isn’t that ARTHUR WEASLEY? yeah that is them, sitting there at the GRYFFINDOR table with those other SIXTH years. when sybill looks into that crystal ball of hers, she sees chunky jumpers, footprints in fresh snow, bruises on legs from bumping into things, the sound of people laughing, a pile of different sweets, a man willing to do what it took to look after the people he cares about. anyway i’ve heard they’re pretty FUNNY, UP BEAT, and CAUTIOUS. apparently they’re a 'FOR THE LIGHT' and PUREBLOOD but i’m sure that’s not related.
extra curriculars: a member of the muggle ‘studies’ club & the herbology club.
arthur is the son of septimus weasley & cedrella weasley nee black. He is one of three and has two older brothers, albert and anthony. he is a pureblood.
arthur has never met his grandparents on his mothers side. his mother came from a family of strict purebloods. his father came from a family of ‘blood traitors’. cadrella was disowned when she married septimus.
his grandparents on his fathers side, however, were the kindest people arthur had ever met. due to his parents busy jobs - his father was an aura and his mother worked for the ministry - arthur spent a lot of time with his grandparents. they were who taught him that kindness was key. and he definitely got his humor from his grandfather. when the two of them passed away (his grandfather just before he went to hogwarts and his grandmother in his third year), arthur was completely devastated.
arthur is someone who finds showing how he is feeling easy. he was taught that to show your heart was a strength, not a weakness. you can definitely say that he would wear his heart on his sleeve.
when it came to going to hogwarts, arthur decided to take a tawny owl with him and he named him blinky.
it seemed like a no brainer to the sorting hat that arthur was sorted into gryffindor, much to his surprise. he had assumed that his place would be in hufflepuff. though outwardly, arthur is kind and loyal, he is also willing to do whatever it takes to make sure the good wins. that is why he aligns with ‘for the light’. arthur is brave when he needs to be and that was what the sorting hat saw in him.
though arthur never causes trouble for the sake of trouble, he is definitely a joker. he likes to be the one to make his friends laugh.
when it comes to the war, arthur believes that he will fight. he believes that he doesn’t have another choice. he couldn’t let people he cares for fight, when he could give a helping hand.
