Primrose Dursley

## Primrose Evangeline Weasley (née Dursley)

**Fiona Lily Weasley** (née **Potter**) (b. 24 August, 1979) was an English half-blood witch, one of the most famous witches of modern time. She was the daughter of James and Lily Potter, and older sister of Harry Potter. Fiona was only two years old when Voldemort killed James and Lily.

After the death of her parents, Fiona, along with Harry, who was a year old, were both sent to live with their mother's sister, Petunia, and her family, the Dursleys. The Dursley's were very cruel to Fiona and Harry, making the two of them share a tiny cupboard under the stairs. They never paid any attention to them and always made them do all the chores around the house.

Fiona learned that she was a witch and was attended to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1990-1997. Fiona felt hesitant to go at first since she didn't want to leave her younger brother alone with the Dursleys, as she knew that they would be extra harsh to him but Harry insisted that she should go.

There, she became best friends with the Weasley twins, Fred and George, and developed a crush on George. The only people who knew about her secret crush on George were Fred, Celestia, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny. Soon, George developed a crush on her as well and they began to date in the middle of their sixth year after George had taken her to the Yule Ball.

After dating throughout their Hogwarts years, George proposed to Fiona and she said yes. She was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, along with George.

Sometime after the war, Fiona became a professor for the potions class. She got married to George a few years later and together, they had four children, Lily Molly Weasley (named after Lily Potter and Molly Weasley), twins Fred Lee Weasley (named after Fred Weasley and Lee Jordan) and Dora Harriet Weasley (named after Nymphadora Tonks and Harry Potter), and finally, Minerva Celestia Weasley (named after Minerva McGonagall and Celestia Lovegood).

## Biography

### Early Life (1978-1989)

Fiona Lily Potter was born on 24 August 1979 to James and Lily Potter, two members of the original Order of the Phoenix at the height of the First Wizarding War, as their eldest daughter. She was their only child until her younger brother, Harry James Potter, was born eleven months later.

On October 31, 1981, Lily and James were both killed by Voldemort. Because of this happening, Fiona and Harry were both sent to live with their muggle aunt, uncle, and cousin. Her aunt Petunia, uncle Vernon, and cousin, Dudley, were all horrible to the two young siblings and sometimes, Fiona felt like she was the mother figure of Harry.

The two siblings all shared a small cupboard together underneath the stairs while Dudley had extra rooms. The Dursley’s all ignored the Potter siblings and it made Fiona angry and sick.

### Hogwarts Years (1990-1997)

Fiona found out she was a witch from Hagrid and was sent to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1990-1997, and was sorted into Gryffindor House. She became best friends with the Weasley twins, Fred and George, who were both a year above her, and other fellow members of their house such as Lee Jordan, Angelina Johnson, and Oliver Woods.

During her first year, she met Fred and George Weasley and the three developed a strange friendship, considering she was into reading books and was very logical while the twins were very childish and into pranks. She also became best friends with Celestia Lovegood, Lee Jordan, and close friends with Angelina Johnson. While in her first year, she was invited to stay with the Weasley family during the holidays and met the rest of Fred and George’s family.

She also joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team as Chaser, along with Celestia and Angelina during her first year.

### Second Year

In 1991, Fiona started her second year while Harry was starting his first year, along with Fred and George’s youngest brother, Ron, who became Harry’s best friend. Harry soon joined the Gryffindor Quidditch Team as the Seeker, making her a very proud sister. She, along with George, helped Harry, Ron, and Hermione Granger, a girl in Harry's year, try to figure out who stole the Sorcerer's Stone and she and Harry defeated Lord Voldemort.

At the End-of-the-Term Feast, Gryffindor won the house cup, instead of Slytherin after Dumbledore rewards sixty points to both Fiona and Harry, fifty points to George, Hermione, and Ron, and ten points to Neville Longbottom, a boy in Harry's year.

### Third Year

During the summer of 1992, Fiona and Harry were rescued from the Weasley brothers. They were taken to The Burrow, where the Weasley family lived. She soon began her third year at Hogwarts, while the twins started their fourth year and Harry was starting his second year with Ron and Hermione, whom she became very close with during the year, and Ginny starting her first year.

During her third year, the Chamber of the Secrets were opened and there was frightening messages on the walls. People were accusing Harry for it, as he spoke Parseltongue and considered him to be the Heir of Slytherin. She, along with the Weasley twins and Ron, came to Hermione's defense when Draco Malfoy called her a "filthy little mudblood". The twins were about to lung at him when Fiona jumped in front of them to stop them, all the while Ron attempted to hex him but ended up hexing himself. While Harry and Hermione attended to Ron and took him to Hagrid, Fiona told the twins that Malfoy wasn't worth it and turned to Malfoy herself and said, "If you ever call her a mudblood again, it'll be the last thing you'll ever do and don't think I won't hesitate." She then walked away, with the other Gryffindor team members following after her.

After Harry, Ron, and Hermione had told her that they think Malfoy was the Heir of Slytherin and wanted to sneak into the Slytherin Common Room to know for sure, she suggested to brew Polyjuice Potion and with the help from Hermione, they made the potion. A few months later, both Fiona and Hermione became victims of petrified students along with Penelope Clearwater, Colin Creevey, and Justin Finch-Fletchy.

At the end of the year, she, Hermione, and the other petrified victims were cured. Together, Fiona and Hermione went to the Great Hall. When Harry had spotted her, he immediately jumped up from his seat and crashed Fiona into a hug. He told her how much he missed her and thought he was never going to see her again, to which she replied, "You can't get rid of me that easy." After reuniting with her brother, she reunited with the twins, Celestia, Angelina, and Lee. Like Hermione, Fiona was disappointed that Professor Dumbledore cancelled all exams.

### Later Life

A few months after the war, George and Fiona finally get married. She also became a professor for the potions class at Hogwarts School. Soon after, George and Fiona started a family. She gave birth to her first child and daughter, Lily Molly in 1999, then had twins, Fred Lee and Dora Harriet in 2003, and finally, in 2006, Fiona gave birth to their final child and daughter, Minerva Celestia.

On September 1, 2017, George and Fiona escorted their four children to Hogwarts Express, with Lily starting her last year, Fred and Dora starting their fifth year, and Minerva starting her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, along with her cousins, Albus and Rose. During that time, she was pregnant with her fifth child.

## Physical Appearance

Fiona was said to look more like Lily, having the same red hair but it is said that she has her father's hazel-colored eyes. People have also noticed that she had her father's height as well, considering she stood around 5'11''. With her red hair, most people have mistaken her as one of the Weasley children.

Fiona had sort of a "girly girl" style. She wore whatever she felt made her comfortable when she wasn't wearing her uniform. Her hair rested down her back and was always straightened or curled but when she had classes, her hair was up in various styles.

Like her brother, Fiona has a scar shaped like a lightning bolt but instead of it being on her forehead, her scar was on her wrist from when she tried to protect Harry the first time Voldemort had tried to kill them when she was two.

At age 34, Fiona's hair was cut to her shoulders and much darker than it was when she was younger. Due to her working at Hogwarts, she wore long, dark purple robes but while working at Weasleys Wizards Wheezes, she wore casual clothes.

## Personality and Traits

Fiona was a brave, kind, soft-spoken type of girl. Much like her mother, Fiona was a hard-working student and was Head Girl in her final year at Hogwarts. As the eldest of her and her brother, she was very motherly and according to Harry, she was also over protective and bossy sometimes.

At times, Fiona tends to get annoyed with Draco Malfoy for bullying Harry, Ron, and Hermione throughout the years and even stood up for Hermione when Draco called her a mudblood. Both Fiona and Hermione share their interests in books and loves studying with each other. She often felt like a babysitter to Fred, George, and Lee, as the three were always causing mischief around the school, for which she scolded them countless times for.

Fiona wasn't afraid to stand up for the people she loved and was always protective of her friends who were younger than her such as Ron, Ginny, Neville, Luna, and many other students. She was also very loyal towards her loved ones.

## Magical Abilities and Skills

Fiona has proved to be the most intelligent and powerful young witch in her year. She passed every test she had taken at Hogwarts and was even a master in potions, being Professor Snape's favorite student and also became the new potions master sometime after the war. Professor Snape has told her that she's hard-working and intelligent in his class. Fiona is also very gifted in flying and is an extraordinary Quidditch player.

* **Love**: Throughout her life, Fiona's greatest power was love. Though she was raised by the Dursleys, who treated her and her brother horribly, Fiona was capable of having a tremendous amount of love.

Her love was strongest towards not only her brother but also George Weasley, who kept her going and gave her courage to never give up in anything. Fiona's love was strong towards her four children, Lily II, Fred II, Dora, and Minerva as well, especially towards her son, since he was her only son.
* **Potions**: Confirmed by Professor Snape, who worked as the Potions Master at Hogwarts, Fiona was one of his best students at mastering potions. She was able to identify potions and their effects after having only read about them. She, along with Hermione, was able to brew the the very advanced and difficult Polyjuice Potion in third year for Harry, Hermione, and Ron to find the truth about the Chamber of Secrets from Draco Malfoy. In her fifth year, Fiona helped the twins and Lee Jordan brew an Aging Potion to make them at least seventeen to join the Triwizard Tournament, although she told them it wasn't going to work because of the age line. She's also helped the twins brew love potions for their joke shop. She achieved an 'Outstanding' on her Potions O.W.L. and was advanced to N.E.W.T. level. After the Battle of Hogwarts and the school was rebuilt, Fiona became the new Potions Master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

## Etymology

The name *Fiona* can be either a Latinized form of the Gaelic word *fionn*, meaning "white", "fair", or an Anglicization of the Irish name *Fiona* (derived from an element meaning "vine")

Lily also comes from the name of the flower, which is a symbol of purity. The flowers continue to be representative of purity and love in Europe. Specifically, the lily is often associated with the Blessed Virgin Mary; one type of the flower is known as the Madonna lily. Greek mythology also links lilies to the Muses and to the goddess Hera. In China, lily means "forever in love" and were thought to be capable of averting evil. Fiona's middle name is Lily, which was also the name of her mother's, and her daughter's name is Lily.

Fiona's maiden name was Potter. Potter is a very common surname of English origin. Traditionally, the surname refers to the occupation of pottery making. Beatrix Potter was a well-known English children's author, which might be a reference to Rowling. Potter's Field is the name for a burial ground for the unknown or unclaimed dead, particularly soldiers and orphans." It is first mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew, the Potter family had many members that fit that description. The Potter Box is a model for making ethical decisions developed at Harvard University. J. K. Rowling has also commented that she has liked the name since childhood, as a family that had lived near her carried this surname.

Weasley is Fiona's married name.
