In 2017, Minerva began her education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry along with her cousins Rose Granger-Weasley and Albus Severus Potter, her best friend Heather Lovegood-Jordan, and Scorpius Malfoy and was sorted into Slytherin. She and Albus quickly became friends with Scorpius.

## Biography

Minerva Celestia Weasley was born on 18 August 2006 to George and Fiona Weasley (née Potter). She had three older siblings: Lily Molly, Fred Lee II, and Dora Harriet Weasley. She was named after Minerva Mcgonagall and Celestia Lovegood. Celestia Lovegood is her godmother.

On 1 September, 2017, Minerva began her education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry along with her cousins Albus Potter and Rose Granger-Weasley, Heather Lovegood-Jordan, and Scorpius Malfoy. Her sister, Lily, was starting her last year while her other siblings, Fred and Dora, were starting their third year along with their cousin James Potter. Others at school include her cousins Victoire Weasley and James Potter II, who were both in different years than her and Scorpius Malfoy, who were all in different years than her.

She was nervous about starting at Hogwarts and was scared about what house she would be sorted in. Before boarding Hogwarts Express, Minerva admitted to her parents that she was scared on being sorted into Slytherin but they reassured her they would have gained an amazing young witch and the three shared a group hug. As the train pulled out of the station, she was seen waving goodbye to her family.

## Physical Appearance

Minerva is the only one out of her siblings to inherit the brown hair of her mother's family, and inherited most of the Potters' physical traits, including the bright green eyes she inherited from both her uncle Harry and her late grandmother, Lily Potter (née Evans). Minerva also inherited curly hair from her paternal grandfather James Potter, portrayed as ringlets that fall past her waist. However, Minerva does have light freckles, a physical trait that comes from the Weasley's side.

## Personality and Traits

Much like her mother, Minerva was a very soft-spoke, kind, and loyal young lady. She also inherited her mother's intelligence and interests in school. She seemed to be quiet close to her cousins Albus Potter and Rose Granger-Weasley, who were both around the same age as her.

Despite her quietness, Minerva had a very strong voice and was not afraid to stand up for what she believed in. She hated to admit it but she slowly began to have feelings for her best friend, Scorpius Malfoy, who had feelings for her in return.

## Relationships

### Family

#### The Weasleys

Minerva had a very strong relationship with her parents. They were both supportive of her when she was sorted into Slytherin. Minerva's relationship with her mother was much stronger than her relationship with her father, though she looked up to both and went to them whenever she needed advice and comfort.

She also had a strong relationship with her brother and sisters, especially Fred. Fred was the one who kept an eye on her during school hours to make sure she wasn't being bullied. Her relationship with Lily is very close as well. Lily held hands with her when they run through the wall to platform 9 and 3/4. However, when Minerva was sorted into Slytherin, Lily had a hard time accepting it. Dora, Minerva's other older sister, always teased and messed with Minerva but the two seemed to be close.

Minerva also had a loving relationship with her uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione. Minerva was closer in age with her cousin Rose, though when she became friends with Scorpius Malfoy, Rose stopped talking to her. However, at the end of October, Rose accepted her friendship with Scorpius and made amends with each other. Rose also supported Minerva's feelings towards Scorpius. She also seemed to be close with her cousin Hugo Granger-Weasley, though he was closer to Fiona in age.

#### The Potters

Minerva had a very strong relationship with her uncle Harry and aunt Ginny and looked up to both of them. Like they were towards Albus, both were supportive that she was sorted in Slytherin.

She seemed to have a good relationship with her cousin James Potter II, though he was closer to Fred and Dora, and Fiona Potter II, though she was closer to Hugo. Minerva seemed to has strong bond with her cousin Albus Potter as they were closer in age. They both looked out for each other and he was very supportive of her feelings towards Scorpius, their best friend.

### The Lovegood-Jordans

Celestia Lovegood-Jordan was Minerva's godmother and her middle came from Celestia. Celestia became like a second mother to Minerva and Minerva always went to her for advice when she couldn't talk to her parents. Lee Jordan, Celestia's husband, is the godfather of Fred, Minerva's brother, but the two have a close relationship as well. He affectionately calls her Squirt or Mini Weasley and ruffles her hair whenever he teases her. Her best friend and godsister is Heather Lovegood-Jordan, the only daughter and child of Celestia and Lee. The two were raised together and became very protective and supportive of each other.

### Teddy Lupin

Though she wasn't close to Teddy, her mother and uncle's godson, she, her cousins, and siblings liked the idea of him becoming a member of the Weasley-Potter family if he married Victoire Weasley.

### Scorpius Malfoy

Scorpius, the son of Draco Malfoy, was a fellow Slytherin and best friends with Minerva and Albus. The two had feelings for each other but kept it to themselves until they finally tell the truth and began dating after their fourth year.
