Random Weasley headcanons because today was the first day of school so obviously I've had much time to think about things that aren't school!
Arthur Weasley loves birds. You can't convince me otherwise and that's mostly because I love birds but shush. He seems like a bird watcher.
He has tried to get the kids into it, but they just don't get it. Not even Percy can be convinced that birds aren't actually boring, they're so interesting!!
He brags that he does it the "muggle" way but he really doesn't. He has magical binoculars that auto focus on a bird or some shit. If he has the time he takes a broom and flies out to a good bird spotting place. He's sitting in the bushes with about sixty silencing and concealing charms up just to look at a common buzzard (AND I WOULD DO THE SAME)
Sorry I just really love birds. I can't promise this was the last bird thing I have a fic planned. Anyway!
Percy is always one of the first to be awake in the morning. (Excluding Arthur who is... at work)
He goes downstairs, gets some coffee or tea (do wizards have coffee???) and stares out of a window for a bit.
He's a window guy.
On the other side of the spectrum you have Ron. Who wakes up last and has to be woken up most of the time.
I'm not hating on Ron I swear, I love him.
Molly does that thing that all mothers do where she yells someone's name from downstairs. And then the child responds. And she doesn't.
Charlie Weasley can make a mean fried egg.
That's it that's the headcanon. He's the eggman.
Speaking of eggs. If there's boiled eggs, Fred takes the egg white while George takes the yolk. This has been their arrangement since they could communicate that they didn't want THAT part of the egg, only the other.
That's totally based on @bastaardsuiker and me though. I <3 projecting.
Whenever Ginny leaves one of her brother’s rooms, she turns the light on. Like the big light that no one uses unless they've lost something. I'm going to pretend that's possible without electricity.
Wait how do underage wizard's turn lights on? They can't use magic and they don't have electricity (which is fucking stupid but okay)
Do they have magic circuits?
They have magic circuits now I've decided that.
Sorry another bird headcanon.
If there's a bird sitting in the window or something, Arthur will shush everyone. And everyone must listen. Because guys there's a coal tit on the window!
Yes that's an actual bird name. Why are English bird names so weird? Wdym woodCOCK? Coal TIT? Blue footed BOOBY?
Fred and George use bird names to get away with saying bad words.
They learned that from Bill.
Well. That's kinda all I have. It's mostly birds, I'm not sorry. This is my blog and I decide how much bird content there is <3
Being a Weasley and dating Draco Malfoy would include.
Dating Draco Malfoy as a Weasley would be nothing short of revolutionary. As Ron's twin sister with the trademark Weasley red hair and fierce Gryffindor spirit, your relationship with Draco would begin during those tumultuous years between sixth and seventh year - right when he was beginning to crack under Voldemort's pressure and question everything he'd been raised to believe. You'd be the one to see past his crumbling facade, recognizing the terrified boy beneath the Death Eater's mark. Your natural Weasley compassion would draw you to him during his most vulnerable moments, perhaps catching him in a rare moment of breakdown in an empty corridor or abandoned classroom. The initial attraction would be forbidden and intense, built on stolen glances across the Great Hall and secret meetings in hidden alcoves of the castle.
The secrecy would be both thrilling and torturous. Sneaking around Hogwarts to meet Draco would become second nature - you'd know every secret passage and hidden room by heart. Your relationship would deepen through whispered conversations about his fears, his regrets, and his growing realization that everything he'd been taught was wrong. You'd be his anchor during the darkest period of his life, the one person who could reach him when everyone else saw only the Malfoy heir. The contrast between your warm, accepting nature and his cold, guarded exterior would create an irresistible pull. He'd find himself craving your laugh, your touch, the way you'd run your fingers through his hair and tell him he was more than his family's expectations.
Ron's discovery would be explosive. As your twin, he'd sense something was off long before catching you together. The confrontation would be legendary - probably involving hexes, shouting, and him demanding to know if you'd been Confunded. "Have you completely lost your mind? He's a Death Eater! He tried to kill Dumbledore!" Ron's protective instincts would go into overdrive, and he'd probably try to get Harry and Hermione to stage an intervention. The betrayal he'd feel wouldn't just be about Draco being a Slytherin or a former enemy - it would be about you hiding such a monumental secret from him when you'd shared everything since birth.
Fred and George's reaction would be surprisingly complex. While they'd initially resort to pranks and jokes - probably sending Draco Howlers filled with joke products or charming his robes to display embarrassing messages - they'd eventually become some of your most understanding allies. Their natural curiosity about people would lead them to actually observe Draco around you, and they'd be among the first to notice how he'd changed. "Bloody hell, he actually makes her happy," one would mutter to the other. They'd still torment him relentlessly, but it would shift from genuine malice to protective big brother testing. They'd probably corner him with some variation of "hurt her and we'll make your life a living nightmare, but we can see she cares about you, so don't mess this up."
Ginny would be your fiercest defender within the family. Having faced her own complicated relationships and understanding what it meant to see past someone's reputation, she'd support you even when it was difficult. She'd be the one to point out to your brothers that people can change, that love doesn't always make sense, and that judging you for your choices wasn't fair. Ginny would probably be your confidante, the one you'd go to when the family pressure became too much. She'd also be instrumental in helping the family see Draco as he truly was rather than who he used to be, often saying things like "if she's happy and he treats her well, isn't that what matters?"
Your older brothers would each handle it differently. Bill, with his experience dealing with prejudice due to his scars, would be more open-minded after the initial shock, eventually judging Draco by his actions rather than his past. Charlie would be skeptical but fair, probably threatening Draco in his straightforward way but willing to give him a chance. Percy, ever the rule-follower, would struggle the most with the social implications and family reputation, but his love for you would eventually win out. He'd probably be the one to research Draco's war record and family history, ultimately concluding that his post-war actions showed genuine change.
Your parents' reaction would be heartbreaking initially. Molly would cry - not from anger, but from fear for your safety and confusion about how this happened. She'd worry about the social implications, the danger, and whether you truly understood what you were getting into. Arthur, despite his fascination with all things Muggle having put him at odds with pure-blood supremacists like the Malfoys, would be surprisingly thoughtful. He'd want to understand how this relationship developed and what you saw in Draco. The turning point would likely come when they saw you together - how gentle Draco was with you, how he'd stand up to his own family's disapproval for you, and how genuinely happy you were.
Eventually, your relationship would become a symbol of healing and change. The Weasley family's acceptance of Draco would represent everything the wizarding world needed after the war - forgiveness, second chances, and the power of love to overcome prejudice. Family dinners would be awkward at first, with Draco sitting stiffly at the Burrow's kitchen table while your brothers glared at him, but gradually he'd find his place. He'd help your mother with dishes, discuss Quidditch strategy with your father, and slowly prove that he was worthy of their daughter's love. Your red hair and his platinum blonde would become a symbol of unity, showing that even the most unlikely love could flourish when two people were willing to grow and change together.
Tall. So damn tall. By the time he stops growing, he has reached 6'5, and he gleefully lords it over his younger siblings for years, until Ron manages to match his exact height, not a millimetre here or there. He sulks about it for a few days before inviting Ron to join him in taking the piss out of their siblings.
Wears his hair long specifically to annoy Molly. It was simply because he was so caught up in OWL studies that he forgot to cut it, but then Molly saw him with his hair that reached the base of his neck and freaked. He deliberately kept his hair long from then on, and it kind of grew on him by 7th year.
Speaking of hair, he has fabulous hair. Absolutely gorgeous. Stunning. It's pin straight like Arthur's, unlike Charlie who got Molly's tightly wound curls. He keeps it till mid back and braids it frequently. Bill And Ginny Days™ compulsorily have at least one braiding session.
THIS BOI IS BI! He is very bi and his type is ✨Badass Motherfucker✨ as evidenced by him falling for Fleur like look at her. Enough said.
Quidditch fiend, like all the other Weasleys, and was on the team from 2nd year all the way up to the end of 6th year as Chaser. Dropped Quidditch in 7th year, because being Head Boy and being a Quidditch player while studying for NEWT exams would have been too much for him and he knew it.
Got his ear pierced in 5th year from his best friend after winning a Quidditch match. He was half drunk, and when he woke up the next day he freaked the fUCK out. He managed to hide the piercing from Molly for a record breaking eight months, and the shouting match that happened in the summer before his 6th year was the worst argument he ever had with her.
Has Eldest Daughter Syndrome™. He resents Molly a little, because he never entirely got to be a child. He always had to be the Responsible Older Sibling, even as young as 3 years old. He loves his mother, but living under the same roof as her was suffocating, for him. He said as much to Arthur in a very long conversation, and they both decided with much difficulty that Bill wouldn't be returning home after 7th year— he would immediately leave for Egypt.
In the first year of his stay in Egypt he decided to say "fuck it" and got a tattoo. It's on his shoulder, a falcon in greyscale that spreads down over his bicep and out on his shoulder blade. Molly does not find out about it until the end of HBP when he gets mauled by Greyback, and he does not tell her anything about it, claiming that he is "an adult and can get a tattoo if I want to Mum, back off."
N E R D. Such a huge nerd but people look at his piercings, long hair, muscles and his whole "90s rockstar" vibe and immediately assume he is the "popular jock" type, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. My man freaks out over magical history, ancient runes and languages, transfiguration and arithmancy. A total nerd, I tell you, and scary smart. He got 12 Outstanding OWLs and 8 Outstanding NEWTs, and reduced Molly to incoherent happy crying both times.
The Hat offered him Slytherin, and he seriously considered the option for a good few minutes. "You have a lot of ambition," the Hat told him to his pleasure, "and a thirst to find your true calling." At the age of eleven, he was already sick of being "just one of the Weasleys" and wanted to step out of his parents' shade and figure himself out. In the end, the Hat sorted him in Gryffindor, but many times he has wondered what life would have been like if he ever sorted Slytherin.
Knows a lot of dances. Arthur and Molly are both fabulous dancers, and a few of his favourite childhood memories begin with his parents teaching him how to move his hips and slide his feet and enjoy the music. He's great at waltzing, knows the foxtrot and swing dance, and learnt paso doble and the tango in the seven years he spent in Egypt.
Listens to a lot of muggle rock music. All the cool bands like AC/DC, Oasis, Nirvana, Green Day, and all of those, plus a few obscure bands that he decided he liked the sound of. He's also big on different types of classical music, courtesy of his love for dance.
His favourite sibling is Charlie. Don't get him wrong, he loves all his siblings, but Charlie has a special place in his heart because they're both close in age and understand each other better than anyone else. Bill and Charlie are almost like Fred and George, a bit: one look and they know everything the other is thinking. Doesn't have a least favourite sibling, but seriously considered Percy for the role during OoTP.
Loves learning languages. The languages he is fluent in are English, Gaelic, Welsh, Old Norse and Icelandic, Latin, Ancient Greek, Spanish, Arabic (Egyptian and Hassaniya dialects), and Persian.
Has a soft spot for Ginny, like every other Weasley. That's his baby sister who can put him on his back in less than 0.2 seconds and he adores her.
OKOKOKOK OMG COULD U DO THIS?? Fred with a Slytherin gf who's the type of person to genuinely not give a shit even if she wanted to (bc she ran away from her family who were hardcore voldemort kissers, so when she was still w her family she kind of forced herself to be numb). FOR LITTLE THINGS OFC, like if anyone were to cheat or, when Fred and George blew up fireworks in the middle of the exam.
Ofc u don't have to do this if u don't want to!!!!
anything for fred <3 he deserved so much better ;-;
reader is fem! reader
ˡᵒᵛⁱⁿ' ʸᵒᵘ ²⁵⁸ !!
being fred's s/o includes...
your entire relationship with fred is a head turner for both students and professors.
a slytherin girlie with one of the most gryffindorest of gryffindors to ever gryffindor, and i say this because the entire weasely family population is a gryffindor.
no one but you, fred, and george knows how you got into a relationship with fred, and none of your peers from slytherin could ever pry that information from your cold dead hands.
the two of you actually got together after you saved his ass from getting in MAJOR trouble with flich, and he's been your simp and lapdog ever since
no literally, he will sit on your lap regardless if you're taller or smaller than him
it's mostly as a joke after george called fred your lapdog because he simps for you that much, but other times fred as you on his lap because "you deserve queen treatment"
you stay in the burrow with the weasely family during breaks and holidays because you ran away from home like a girlboss and chose to never go back.
your parents can send you all the howlers and letters they can, but you're never going to look at them ever.
after all the bullshittery they gave you about blood-purity and following the "almighty dark lord," you couldn't care less about what happened to them.
you're actually a big gamer changer for Draco and act as his role model for how REAL Slytherins should act, but i won't go into too much detail about that.
back to you and fred, when you told fred about your family, the first thing he did was write a letter to your parents anonymously about how you're doing great without them and that you're in a very loving and heartfelt relationship with the proudest of gryffindors.
it wasn't a joke on his part because even though you might not be the most affectionate person on earth, the fact you're not pushing fred away or rejecting his kisses and hugs is enough of a proof to know you love him just as much
on rare instances, such as when fred and george dropped out of hogwarts after setting off fireworks on umbridge, you kissed him first with a proud smile.
george had never seen his twin's face so red and happy at the same time.
and yes, you can tell the difference between fred and george because of two things: their voice and posture.
fred has a voice ever-so slightly deeper than george, and his shoulders are broader and doesn't have any slants while george's shoulders slant a little bit downwards.
fred also has a little more freckles than george, and you've counted them so many times you don't even need to be up close to know who's who.
besides, george knows better than to try and sabotage his future-sister-in-law's relationship with his twin, in fact, he's the president of your fanclub.
the less intense slytherins and gryffindors heavily ship you and fred, talking about how it's some forbidden romance between the two enemy houses.
the muggle students also call your relationship with fred a black cat gf and an orange cat bf, which you kind of understand after harry explained to you what it meant.
ron actually loves you too but like a big sis because he doesn't have a big sis, and also you rescue him from fred and george taunting him and teasing him all the time
ginny loves you too and always says you're her favorite sibling long before you got married.
it's funny because each time she said that, she looked at fred dead in the eyes like "you better wife her up or i'm going to do it for you"
i can't forget the yule ball.
and it's actually very romantic the way fred asked you out to it, even though you would've gone with him even without him asking you out right.
he literally PROPOSED to you while asking you to be his date for the yule ball, standing in front of you with one arm around your waist and presenting a very simple silver band that he got with what he had in his allowance.
it costed him nearly all of it, but he didn't care as long as he had you with him. besides, with all the business planning he was doing with george, he'll get you the best and most extravagant ring there is when they finally make a hit in the market.
the best thing is that you kissed him to say yes instead of saying yes like a basic bitch because you're the furthest thing from one.
the look of shock and absolute joy on george, ron, and ginny's faces the next day only boosted your ego, as you showed off your engagement ring with pride.
even some of your slytherin classmates fawned over the simple trinket, saying there was some charm in simple things.
harry and hermonie are also very pleased that you were keeping things strong with fred, mainly because they kind of helped him pick out a way to propose to you.
also, let me add that you and fred were probably the most popular couple despite neither of you being champions.
the news of your engagement literally spread like wildfire with george calling you his sister-in-law across the great hall just to invite you to sit with them for breakfast.
there was a small tibit of you and fred sharing a kiss during one of dances in the Daily Prophet, and molly and arthur were quick to send the two of letters, sending you their congratulations and absolute joy to have you officially become a weasely.
honestly, molly started seeing you as her daughter the moment she saw your tiny, second-year self at their doorstep in the pouring rain.
you had traveled all the way to the burrow after you ran away from home with all the things you could carry because the weaselys were the only non-death eater family you knew, and molly couldn't refuse you even before you explained what you were doing so far from home
your parents weren't invited to your wedding btw. you didn't want them there with all the bad memories they induced.
the only one from your family that was there was your grandmother, who wasn't a death eater and was married into the family by arranged marriage.
she was more than happy to walk you down the aisle and marry the love of your life. and she never said a word to your parents about it. she had burned the invitation letter soon after she sent confirmation that she'll be going, so they never figured it out.
as a bonus, fred doesn't die, but he did lose a leg from the explosion, which i would say is far better than dying.
you pushed him out of the way just in time, and while he lost a limb, the magic world has more than enough medical tricks to find a suitable replacement for him.
you then started calling him moody 2.0 for his fake leg as a joke, but it later became an alias of his when he started an autobiography of his life in hogwarts to becoming a business owner of the best prank shop in the wizarding world.
nicknames for fred: freddie, reddie, babe, fire boy (you're his water girl <3) gryffin boy, jokester, jake of all trades, prettier boy (george was never so offended), darling joker, weasel no. 4 (he's the fourth kid in his family), and tweedle-dee (george is tweedle-dum obv).
Some HC's for Harry Potter - Weasley family (can you blame me? I love them)
Ginny was usually the manliest among all the Weasleys and had a hardcore tomboy phase during her fifth year in Hogwarts, however one thing that she absolutely adored which is usually found "girly" was flowers. All sorts of flowers. They were just so colourful and beautiful and that's where her relationship with Luna came from. They both loved flowers. Exotic flowers. That's why Ginny also loved gardening.
After the war, George wasn't sure how to run the shop alone - obviously, even before Fred died the two barely understood the "managing" and complicated "paperwork" part of it - so a reconnecting part for him and Percy was when Percy showed up one day to offer him help with managing the shop. With Percy's knowledge of law George got things sorted easily.
When Fred & George were first opening their shop, Percy helped them sort out the paperwork, and when the two asked why exactly he would help out of all people, Percy straight out admitted that he thought the idea was "brilliant" and "badass" (George almost passed out from shock when he heard his brother swear like that).
Law actually caught Ron's interest too and even after he quit as an auror and went to George's shop to help, he still kept it as a hobby and gave a hand to George every time Percy couldn't; after a while Ron decided to go to Law College and got a degree.
By the way, I'm really thinking about making a fanfiction based on an AU I was thinking about, where Percy would become a doctor at St Mungo's (a fanfiction including that HC is already finished and on my Wattpad account), Arthur being a psychologist instead of a ministry worker, Ronald becoming a lawyer and it would basically include a lot of fluff and angst. My favourites :)
Headcanon that Arthur loves sweet foods and Molly hates them, so they would start betting on which child liked which type of food.
Team Sugar-Is-For-Losers
Molly
Bill
Charlie
Ron*
Team Sugar-Is-Life
Arthur
Percy
Fred
George
Ginny*
I don't know, I just imagine Molly and Arthur's first date and they go shopping (Molly's idea) and they end up in the supermarket. So the two are just exploring and they walk past the lolly section and Arthur just freezes like; "SUGAR."
And then when they're young parents and go shopping with Bill, Charlie and Percy and pass the lolly aisle, Percy would just stop and freeze and stare at it and Molly would be like, "Please no. Did you get Arthur's genes? This family is going to be a right nightmare."
*Realistically, I think Ron has the most tolerance for sugar in Team-Sugar-Is-For-Losers, but he likes it small doses. (So, like chocolate)
*Ginny would be the least tolerant of sugar in Team-Sugar-Is-Life and would eat it rarely.
Hii doll, I love your work❤️ I was wondering, how about a headcanon for being a weasley sister? Maybe triplets with Fred and George or in between them and Ron? thank you!
i love this alriGHT
so lets say you are in between the twins and ron
gotta keep it consistent 😤
anyway
i feel like really you’d be so close to ron (age wise) that it would almost be like you two were twins
how cute
molly would put you guy in matching clothes when you were little
fred and george are very close to you
they call you their little protégé
don’t even think about dating
don't
its not worth it
fred barks at boys if they look at you
girls too
percy taught you how to play wizards chess when you were really young
and when the other boys were out playing quidditch you two would sit and play chess together
stop thats so cuTE
PERCY WITH LITTLE BABY YOU ON HIS LAP AS HE’S TEACHING YOU HOW TO PLAY
you’re percy’s favorite
hands down
he’d do anything for you
when you were growing up Bill and Charlie would play a game called “catch the quaffle”
you were the quaffle
and they’d launch you across the bed to each other as a form of ‘conditioning’ for the season
and molly would walk in
bill on one side of the bed
charlie on the other
and bill is frozen in mid throw
and you are just all balled up in hi arms holding your knees to your chest with the biggest smile on your face
without a helmet
but of course you have on Charlie’s quidditch goggles that are way too big for you
“mUM LOOK IM THE QUAFFLE”
“BILL AND CHARLIE WEASLEY, PUT YOUR SISTER DOWN THIS INSTANT”
“but mUM its so much fun!”
then they'd be like fine 🙄
and they would be walking through the door frame, you’re still in Bill’s arms
“cATCH THE QUAFFLE MUM”
he’d lauNCH YOU IN MOLLY’S DIRECTION
and you're ready
tuck and roll
tuck
and
roll
you’ve got your goggles on and Molly catches you
barely
that was the end of catch the quaffle
growing up with your brothers was so much fun
and then giNNY CAME AROUND
YOU WERE SO EXCITED TO HAVE ANOTHER GIRL IN THE FAMILY
she was like you’re little doll
you’d dress her up
and sing to her
you guys got really close
bill and charlie tried to play catch the quaffle with her
but molly was already expecting it and caught them before Ginny’s maiden flight
fred and george were the most bummed
because they used to watch bill and charlie play catch the quaffle with you and now they were finally big enough to join in
sad times
“buT MUM SHE’LL BE FINE ITS OVER THE BED”
“FRED YOU CANNOT THROW YOUR SISTER AROUND LIKE A BALL”
“BUT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE Y/N! I WASN’T BIG ENOUGH THEN, NOW I AM, GIVE HER TO ME.”
going to school was a lot of fun too
but you also had red hair and looked enough like Lily for Snape to act weird
george was nOT A FAN
he was also the first to notice how weird snape was being around you
then he told fred
then percy
then snape had green hair
as you got older you ginny got ridiculously close
Ginny looked up to you
she thought you were the cOOLEST PERSON ON EARTH
and you would do her makeup or her hair
or teach her how to turn down guys in a nice way and very not so nice way
then the war hit
it was rough
fred doesn't die
ok
ok.
he almost does
maybe the wall falls on him and now he’s paralyzed from the waist down
you’d be the one to help him
for the first year or so you'd be there with him constantly
and Bill’s scars you did not hesitate to say were the coolest things in the world
and fleur became your best friend
Harry is alike a brother to you
and hermione
hermy
you love her
will do anything for that little muggle born baddie 😤
you guys are all such a big happy family oh my god
