Isolde Granger

## Isolde Naya Granger

"*It's not everyday you learn that your sibling is a bloody wizard. So in order to top that, 'Mione, of course, had to tell us that she was gonna be my older* sister *instead of brother from then on out. It was a wild day. Mum and Dad thought they'd put too many leaves in their teas again.*"
— Isolde about Hermione learning about her magical nature and *also* coming out as transgender.

**Isolde Naya Granger** (temporarily known as **Georgina Wilkins**) was an English muggle, the youngest daugter of Marybeth and Andreas Granger and the sister of Hermione Jean Granger. She was described as a less serious version of her sister, which apparently made her quite lovable. Isolde absolutely *adored* Hermione, especially after she learned about Hermione being a witch in 1991 and was absolutely thrilled of her going to Hogwarts and learn magic.

Isolde, just like her parents, were wiped of their memory about the wizarding world in 1997 by Hermione in order to protect them from Death Eaters, and she moved to Australia with her parents under the fake name "Georgina Wilkins" up until 1998. She was 13 at the time.

Sometime in 1999, Isolde became pregnant with the child of her boyfriend at the time, Michael McLewis. He abandoned her, but her family was incredibly supportive, especially Hermione, when it came to her pregnancy and helped her even during delivery day. On January 9th in the year 2000, Isolde gave birth to a baby girl, but due to a few complications, she passed away only a day later. Isolde named her Eukhilda.

Despite having lost a child, Isolde did not decline when Hermione asked her to be the surrogate mother of her and Ron's first child. On August 16th, 2004, Isolde gave birth to Hermione and Ron's first child, a baby girl, and in honour of Isolde and her late daughter, Hermione and Ron named their daughter Isolde Eukhilda Granger-Weasley.

## Biography

**Hermione Granger**: "*A younger sister, sir. Her name's Isolde.*"

### Discovering the Wizarding World

#### 1977-1998

One afternoon in the Grangers' house, Isolde was sitting in the living room with her parents as Marybeth called upstairs to Hermione's bedroom that dinner was ready. Her parents were looking at a house in Australia on an unnamed television programme, which Isolde groaned loudly at.

Hermione came downstairs with her hand and secretly cast a False memory spell on her family. She made them believe that they were Wendell and Monica Wilkins, a couple with their daughter Georgina who had a desire to go to Australia and live there. hermione did this in order to keep them safe should the Death Eaters come after them.

   "Monica" and "Wendell" proceeded to act on their apparent ambition to move, and quickly packed up their belongings and left their house alongside "Georgina"

It is possible that the "Wilkinses" moved into a house along Australia's coast which "Monica" and "Wendell" had been admiring before Hermione bewitched them. Otherwise, it is unknown exactly where they went or what they did there.

After the conclusion of the Second Wizarding War, Hermione sought out her family in Australia and returned their memories. They then returned to England.

## Etymology

Isolde is named after the medieval chivalric romance "Tristan and Iseult." Just like her older sister was firstly named after a variation of Tristan's name before transitioning, Isolde was named after a variation of Iseult's name. Though Tristan and Iseult are lovers in the novel, there is no such thing between Hermione and Isolde except familial love.

Her middle name "Naya" was given to Isolde after her maternal grandmother Naya Humbert.

The name "Isolde" is a German feminine given name derived from either the Old High German words īs ("ice") and hiltja ("battle"), or the Brythonic adsiltia ("she who is gazed upon").

"Naya" is a feminine name of Indian origin and means "renewal" or "fresh."
