Chapter 1 - The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black

Pairing: Bill Weasley x OC

Summary: When Tonks invites Effie to a meeting at 12 Grimmauld Place, Effie is unconvinced. However, she meets a charming, handsome young man named Bill there, and her whole world is turned upside down.

Word count: 1,5k

Warnings: swearing, war, mentions of shitty childhood, mentions of bullying, mentions of shitty parents, Bill is hot, slight age gap (Bill is 25, Ophelia is 20), English is not my first language.

Ophelia entered the kitchen at Grimmauld Place rather timidly, trying not to draw attention to herself, though that was very difficult given the mass of tangled black curls on her head. She regretted letting her older cousin talk her into attending the Order’s meeting. She felt that everyone in the kitchen knew who she was and whose blood ran in her veins. Especially Sirius Black, a distant relative of hers who loathed the House of Black, despite hailing from it himself. Effie, however, didn't blame him. She herself would have changed her surname at the first opportunity, had she been able to.

However, it was impossible to avoid drawing attention to herself with Dora around; since morning, she had been walking around with bright green hair that was positively blinding to anyone who looked at it for more than two minutes.

"Come on! Don’t hide, no one here is going to bite you!" Dora said, sitting down opposite the red-haired girl with the feisty smile.

"They’ll just swallow you whole," the redhead replied, reaching her hand across the table toward Ophelia. "I’m Ginny. And you are…?"

"I’m Ophelia." Effie murmured taking Ginny’s hand. Ginny shook their hands vigorously, as a sign of greeting and the start of a new acquaintance.

"She’s just a bit shy." Tonks told Ginny. "But once she gets going, she turns into quite the chatterbox. Sometimes she talks more than the two of us put together."

Ophelia agreed with that statement—to an extent, though not entirely. She wouldn’t have described herself as shy or timid, she was simply quiet. She adored peace and quiet, expressing her love for these virtues by spending most of her time alone.

Yet, this wasn't solely due to her love of quiet, there was another reason, buried deep within the layers of her subconscious. She had no desire to expose herself to harassment; she had already endured enough of a living hell at school. Most students either feared her or, conversely, picked on her because of her lineage. The name Lestrange was like a brand seared into her soul, as if she were cattle. She couldn't shake it off; she had merely learned not to introduce herself by her full name unless the situation demanded it.

She was snapped out of her reverie by a loud crack, followed by the equally loud shouting of a woman. Two identical red-haired boys burst into the kitchen, chuckling merrily. A woman, clearly their mother, rushed in after them, her face flushed with anger.

"How many times do I have to say it?! No teleporting in the house!" she yelled, swatting one of the boys on the arm with a dishcloth. "Just because you’re of age doesn’t mean you can go waving your wands around willy-nilly!"

The boys just laughed louder, completely unconcerned by their mother’s shouting. She shooed them back out into the hallway.

"That’s Fred and George, my brothers," Ginny explained. "The biggest troublemakers of the seven of us."

"You have six siblings?" Effie asked in surprise.

"Yes, the oldest is Bill. He’s really cool, you’ll meet him today," the redhead said. "Then there’s Charlie, he works with dragons in Romania. After that, Fred, George, Ron, and me. There’s also Percy, but it’s better not to mention him. He had a huge falling-out with our parents and hasn’t spoken to us since."

"I know Percy, we were in the same year. I recognize you all in general, but I didn't realize there were so many of you."

"Are you talking about the Perfect Prefect?" Ophelia heard a low, pleasant voice behind her. She turned and saw a tall man wearing a fang earring.

"Speak of the wolf!" Tonks said happily, evidently knowing the man. "Effie, meet Bill. Bill, meet my cousin, Ophelia."

"It’s nice to meet you, Ophelia."

"It's nice to meet you, too," Effie murmured. "I hope she said nothing but good things about me."

"What do you take me for, my dear? Of course I sang your praises!" Dora was indignant.

Bill smiled gently as he sat down next to Ophelia, close enough for her to catch the scent of his cologne, yet far enough away that she didn't feel uncomfortable. It was August and sweltering outside, so he was wearing short sleeves, revealing his freckled, well-defined arms. She noticed several leather cord bracelets on his wrist, a watch on a leather band and silver signet rings on his fingers.

"What do you do, Ophelia?" Bill asked politely.

"I... well, I'm training to be a Healer, specializing in potions," Effie explained, blushing slightly, though she tried to hide it behind her curls. She was certain, however, that Ginny, sitting opposite her, could see the flush on her pale cheeks. "In short, I'll be brewing potions and all sorts of other remedies for St Mungo's. What about you?"

"I’m a Curse Breaker for Gringotts." Bill said.

"I told you Bill is great. The coolest of all those morons." Ginny interjected with a smile.

"Don't suck up to me, kid. Head upstairs, the meeting is about to start."

Ginny snorted in annoyance and stuck out her tongue at her older brother, but the moment she caught her mother’s eye, she instantly quieted down and ran upstairs, slamming the door behind her. It was completely unnecessary, though, as the door was immediately opened by three men. One had scars on his face, it was Remus Lupin, who had taught Ophelia during her final year at Hogwarts. Following him were a tall, bespectacled man with red hair and a stocky man with a glass eye in his socket. That had to be Alastor Moody. Dora had told Effie that he had been her mentor during her Auror training.

"I told you, Moody, that I’d bring my cousin Ophelia along," Tonks said.

"Yes, but I still don't know why," Moody grumbled.

"She’s brilliant at Potions, and on top of that, she knows Legilimency and Occlumency," Dora explained.

"So, a female Snape, then," Moody boomed as he sat down at the table. "It’s a good thing he isn't here right now, or he might have taken offense, fucking bat. I’ll admit her to the Order, but only because I trust you, Tonks."

The rest of the meeting passed without incident. It felt strange for Ophelia to sit in her ancestral home without hearing any snide remarks about Muggles, Muggle-borns, or so-called blood traitors. Whenever she had visited this house as a child, those vile views—words steeped in venom and hatred—had been drilled into her. Fortunately, her parents were arrested shortly after her sixth birthday for using the Cruciatus Curse on the Longbottoms. She subsequently spent a few months in a muggle orphanage before eventually going to live with her aunt, Andromeda Tonks.

The first few days were a nightmare, though it was certainly not the fault of Aunt Andromeda, her husband Ted, or their daughter Dora, who was eight years old at the time. Little Effie was plagued by constant nightmares and a fear of the dark. Matters only worsened when she found a Boggart in a rarely used drawer. It took a long time for her to settle into her new home, but she eventually succeeded and came to live with them as if they were her own true family.

She also occasionally visited her other aunt, Narcissa Malfoy, and her family. Narcissa’s son, Draco, was slightly younger than Effie but a hundred times more cruel. What they had failed to instill in her, they had instilled in him, and Draco loathed everything Muggle. She felt uncomfortable there, all those nasty memories would come flooding back. Ophelia had never suffered any actual abuse at the hands of her parents, yet the mere thought of them made her skin crawl. She knew that her mother, Bellatrix, loved her dearly.

She felt torn between her love for her parents and the knowledge of the horrible, vile, and cruel things they had done. They were Death Eaters who had sown terror in the worst sense of the word. Ophelia felt guilty about visiting them in Azkaban once a year. She knew the extent of the harm they had caused, the closest example was Aunt Dromeda, who had been disowned by the family after marrying a Muggle-born.

"That’s all for today," Moody announced. "See you the day after tomorrow."

Most people began to leave the kitchen, including Dora and Effie. However, Bill stopped them in the hallway.

"So, Tonks?" Bill began. "Are you coming to that concert with us?"

"Sure, I’ve missed Charlie," Dora replied with a smile. "I need to give him a good jab in the ribs, he hasn't written me a single letter in two months!"

"Maybe Ophelia will come with us?" Bill suggested.

Effie felt a bit flustered. She found Bill likable, but she wasn't sure she was ready to go out with his friends.

"I’ll have to think about it... I’ve got a lot of studying right now, so I don't know if I'll find the time," she mumbled. "I'll let you know."

"Right, I'll wait to hear from you," Bill said, though Effie detected a hint of awkwardness in his tone. It was as if he had expected a different answer and was disappointed by the one he got.

"We're off, then. See ya, Weasley!" Tonks said in farewell.

"Bye, Bill," Effie murmured.

Bill Weasley x Pregnant!Reader - Next Generation

A/N : a little moment of tenderness... But also of worry, especially for a certain Bill. Damn hormones.

Words : ~1,5k.

Fluff, pregnancy, family moment, reader is pregnant, reader is female.

“Mom, Mom! Can I have a taste?” asked a little boy with bright red hair and a face covered in freckles the same color.

(Y/N), who was currently baking a cake using a brand-new recipe her mother-in-law, Molly Weasley, had given her, smiled as best she could, despite the nausea she was feeling.

“I don’t know if it’s going to taste good,” she told her firstborn as she handed him a spoonful of cake batter, hoping she had done Molly’s recipe justice.

The little boy, named Arthur, shoved the spoon into his mouth as his mother watched expectantly. However, the child’s face quickly contorted into an involuntary grimace that said it all.

“It’s not good…?” asked (Y/N) as she stroked her belly, terribly disappointed in herself. “But I didn’t forget anything—I checked everything carefully…”

“No, it’s very good…!” the little boy tried to say in as confident a voice as possible, but the “damage” had already been done, unfortunately and quite against his will.

(Y/N) began to feel her eyes sting, and, unable to help herself, she began to cry silently, discreet yet heavy tears rolling down her cheeks. She tried to hide it from her son, but he was decidedly just as observant as his father.

But not as brave, at least for the moment, it seemed.

No sooner had little Arthur noticed that his mother had started crying for no real reason than he rushed toward the garden, bursting outside like a human bomb, running toward a very specific spot.

There, busy getting rid of the gnomes that had (once again) invaded part of the garden, was Bill Weasley, the boy’s father, who was undoubtedly about to have the scare of his life.

He heard little footsteps approaching him at full speed, causing him to turn around; he was about to greet his son with a huge smile, as usual. However, upon seeing the terrified look on Arthur’s face, Bill felt his own face go completely pale.

All the more so when the little boy literally begged his father to come with him, because “something was happening to Mom.” Bill never would have believed he could be overcome by as much terror as he had been during the still-recent and infamous Battle of Hogwarts, but that was indeed the case now; leaving the remaining gnomes behind him, Bill ran toward the house, his son in his arms, fear twisting his stomach.

It had now been a few weeks since his wife, (Y/N), had become pregnant with their second child. It was not time for her to give birth yet, far from it, so what could possibly be happening that was so terrible that his son had started crying his heart out and had rushed over to get him like that?

“(Y/N)!!” Bill exclaimed as he entered the little cottage, expecting the worst, his wand drawn. “What’s going on?”

He stormed into the kitchen like a whirlwind, startling his wife, who was already there. She seemed to be crying her eyes out, which worried Bill even more.

He set his son down on the floor, though the boy stayed close to him, clearly worried about his mother as well. Bill walked over to (Y/N), who was trying to hide her face behind her hands, though she could not suppress the sounds of her sobs, which gave her away instantly.

The young man gently took his wife in his arms, being careful not to press against her stomach. He did his best to try to comfort her, without much success, knowing that he did not even know why she was crying in the first place. She did not seem to have any injuries or anything like that, which raised even more questions.

“Arthur, what happened?” Bill finally asked, after getting no response from (Y/N)... other than uncontrollable sobbing.

The little boy, who was crying too, recounted what little he knew.

“I was helping Mom bake a cake, and she let me taste the batter... I made a face, and she suddenly started crying...! Did I do something really wrong...?” he asked anxiously, tears streaming down his little freckled cheeks.

It was at that moment that Bill finally understood what must surely be happening, and instantly felt very foolish. He had heard—especially from his mother—about the hormonal fluctuations some pregnant women can experience. But, knowing that (Y/N) had handled her first pregnancy quite well, and that there had been no such issues during this one, Bill had simply assumed that his wife would be spared one more annoying symptom for all her future pregnancies—especially if the couple decided to have a second child.

How could pregnancies be so different from one child to the next...? Bill considered himself fairly well-informed on the subject, but he never could have imagined that an unexpected turn of events like this could still happen, even though, for Arthur, everything had gone like a dream.

He had never seen his wife cry like that, not even during the war a few years earlier. Just how powerful were those hormones, exactly...?

“Dad? Is Mom okay…?” a little voice suddenly asked from behind him.

Bill turned to his son, thinking hard about what to do next. (Y/N) finally managed to tell him it was nothing, in a disjointed tone punctuated by sobs, but he wanted to be certain.

“I think so, but we’ll check just to be sure.”

He helped his wife—whose sobbing had subsided slightly—lie down on the couch, then quickly wrote a letter, which he sent to the nearest clinic via the family owl, to make sure it really was not anything serious. He then did his best to calm both (Y/N) and Arthur, succeeding with the latter, who came and sat silently on one of the chairs next to the couch, still waiting for an explanation.

Bill was finally able to ask his wife questions, after several more minutes, and after working hard to dry her tears.

“I… I don’t even know why I’m crying so much,” the young woman murmured, gently caressing her belly with one hand and her husband’s hand with the other. “Arthur just made it clear that he didn’t like what I made… And here we are.”

“It’s probably because of the pregnancy,” Bill reassured her, affectionately running his hand over (Y/N)’s cheek. “Mom had already warned me about this with Arthur… Even though it never happened. Until today.”

Through the few tears still glistening in her eyes, (Y/N) managed to smile as best she could.

“At least it’s not that serious if it really is because of hormones,” she whispered in Bill’s ear so their little boy would not hear. “I’m sorry for worrying you both,” she continued more clearly, as her son approached her again, a look of concern still on his face.

“So it’s my fault…?” he asked in a very small voice. “I’m sorry I didn’t like your cake, Mom…”

Bill came over and took his son in his arms, setting him on his lap as he slowly stroked the little boy’s red hair, just like his own.

“Not at all, Arthur; actually... It’s surely just the baby’s fault—the one in Mommy’s belly,” he said, searching for the right words, wanting to explain the situation to his son as best he could—and especially that he had not done anything wrong. “She’ll feel better once the baby is born.”

Arthur remained silent for a moment, seeming to ponder his father’s words. Then a frown appeared on his face, and the little boy cast a displeased glance at his mother’s belly, where he knew the famous “baby” was. And that his mom had not eaten it, despite what he might have believed a few months earlier.

“Naughty baby, stop making my mom cry! Please!” he added, suddenly remembering his parents’ words: “If you want something, you have to ask for it politely.”

Bill and (Y/N) could not help but burst out laughing at those words, while their son looked at them, confused; why were they laughing now, when the situation had been so serious and heavy just a few seconds ago...?

He was definitely understanding less and less of this strange and enigmatic world of adults.

Will we see the Weasleys in the comic soon? I just saw and fell in love with your Bill and Charlie! The little dragon Charlie's holding, will we see the little one in the comic, too?

Sooner than you think, Anon 😁 I'm very glad you like 'my' designs for the boys! Very fond of these two characters, too. As for the little dragon (which is a Chinese Fireball hatchling by the way, that is, SOMEHOW, MYSTERIOUSLY, not aggressive like ALL dragons ARE and seems very friendly)... Perhaaaaaps...

Summary: You come across a letter of Bills that you weren’t supposed to see

Word count: 1k

This is probably so bad I wrote this barely awake and there’s probably many story errors and spelling/grammar ones. That’s okay though because this world is lacking hand written fanfics these days with AI.

It wasn’t suppose to be like this. It’s too late now, he knows. That, you know that he was offered the curse breaking job in Egypt.

It’s not like you went looking for the letter, it was open in the bedroom on his nightstand. I mean he probably wasn’t expecting you to be in his room without being invited. But in fairness he did invite you over to the Burrow to spend some time together since you guys did just graduate Hogwarts.

You didn’t mean to see what was written you just wanted to pick up the book on the night stand to entertain yourself till he came back from what you assume is the bathroom. To grab said book you had to be in front of the night stand, and as you grab the book you looked down curious of the letter. You were just expecting it to be from a friend not freaking Gringotts. Bill had shared with you in the past that it was his dream to be a curse breaker. After you got off the shock of finding out this unassuming letter was from Gringotts the letter became very interesting. You couldn’t stop yourself from reading the letter after all Bill was 18 it’s not like Gringotts goes around giving job offers to freshly graduates.

You read all the letter and you weren’t surprised that they gave Bill the job, he was a very talented Curse breaker after all even though he has no professional experience. What shocked you was the fact that this letter was clearly sent and delivered at least 2 days ago. This is big news of his and he hasn’t shared this with you yet, which shocks you since you guys have been dating for 2 years now. It’s big news you now this. You also now this will ruin your guy’s plans to go out and have a simple life living in Shell Cottage, with simple jobs, and possibly getting married. Every thing would have to be pushed off. That was fine with you to be honest, after all he did just get the job of his dream.

You heard foot steps coming from down the hall, that took you out of your trans. You quickly finish grabbing the book you ment to get in the first place and sat on the side of his bed. You opened the book to the 5th page to look like you weren’t doing anything else like reading said open letter well also making it so it didn’t look like you were there for awhile. You just hope he wouldn’t release that you could have read the letter well getting the book.

Right as the foot steps sound like they’re going to pass the door in comes Bill. He was dressed in sweats and a shirt that seems worn down with a few patches that Molly definitely patched the shirt with. He look mildly shocked that you were there in his room. You looked up from your booked as he closed the door and greeted him, “Hey, I thought you would’ve been in here.” He chuckled, “Well i see you still invited yourself in and made yourself comfortable.” “Wow are you complaining that I am in your room like I’m one of the twins?” You faked hurt, “Never I’m glad it’s you not Fred or George, or even worse both.” He joked as he walked over to you placing a kiss to your cheek, you smiled. “Well that’s reassuring to hear Weasley. I wouldn’t want to be unwelcome in your private space.” You joked he laughed at that, you really hoped that he hasn’t figured out yet that you know.

You closed the booked, well Bill looked over at the table he saw the letter wide open. He wasn’t dumb he knew the book was by the letter and he knew you probably read the whole entire letter. He realized in that moment this decision was now not just known by him and Gringotts it also included you. Even if he was going to reject it he would have to tell you now and he knew you would not support him doing that, but would still stay and support him. He also knew he would only reject the offer because he wanted to be close with you and start that simple life planned. “You read it didn’t you?” Before you could respond he continued, “I also know you would be disappointed in me if I reject this offer.” “I did read the letter and yes I would be disappointed if you refused this job. However you also know I will support you no matter your choice and also wait for you.”

That is how you ended up away from Bill for 6 years, 6 years that could’ve been spent living a simple life by the sea. That doesn’t matter to you most of the time especially when you got his letters or when you got your short visits together because you saw how happy he was even if he was drained form his hours and hard task. He was happy at his job and that’s what mattered to you. All though when he told you he requested for a desk job in order to join the order you were existed. Yes you were scared of what was happening in the wizarding world, and the reason for the switch in job. Although it ment you got bill back and that brought joy to you.

When he sent you the letter telling you he was going to move into the Shell Cottage and he wanted you to join like you guys planned back in your last year of school you were ecstatic. You admittedly wrote your letter saying you would move in. It only took you guys 2 days after he officially left his job in Egypt to move both your guy’s stuff into the house. Unpacking well that wasn’t done till a week after moving in even with magic.

Life was going good well it’s now ignoring all the stuff going on with the dark Lord and his followers which is hard. Life was like how it should’ve been in the cottage 6 years ago but you would wait 6 more year for Bill no matter what.

If you truly read this thank you and what is wrong with you. No I’m just joking and am so desperate these days i read bad fics all the time just to have something to read especially with a character that barely gets anything. Sorry for my mistakes this is my first time actually writing a true fic.

✨ Changeling ✨ is my contribution to the Heartlines fest

This is a new pairing for me, but the prompt compelled me to!

Since writing "Summertime Sadness," the idea of writing Fleur Delacour never left me. Not because she is French, but because she is another female character J.K. Rowling caricatured to the extreme and mistreated for no other reason than being beautiful.

Anyway, since I have two and soon three big WIPs underway , I can't write her properly yet, but when I read this prompt, it struck me as being exactly her. So here is a little taste of what's to come, one day.

🎨 The art comes from the fantastic @katemiosh on who kindly accepted that I use it for this fest.

There is something very magical and perfect for this song.
