## Biography

### Early life

When she was a young girl, she created a Love Potion.

### Philosopher's Stone

Molly and Arthur brought new robes and an owl for Percy when he was made a Prefect. On the first of September, she led her family through King's Cross to the Hogwarts Express. She guided a very polite Harry Potter when he was lost trying to find the train. When he boarded, Harry watched Molly say goodbye to her four children leaving for Hogwarts. Fred and George told her the child she helped was Harry. She was worried about about him being alone, warned Ginny not to try and find him and shouted when Fred and George considered asking Harry what Voldemort looked like. Telling them to stay out of trouble and look after Ron, she comforted Ginny who was sad she was too young to attend Hogwarts. Molly waved when the train was leaving. She had made lunch for her children but she didn't had much time to make them food and often forgot what they liked.

In December, Mr and Mrs Weasley spent the Christmas holidays in Romania where Charlie worked. Every year, she knitted her children a jumper in their own colour. Ron received a maroon jumper. She also gifted Harry an emerald green jumper with a large box of home-made fudge, after Ron told her that Harry was not expecting any presents. In June, she picked up Percy, Fred, George and Ron with Ginny at Platform 9 3/4. Ginny pointed at Harry and Molly told her it was rude. Harry thanked her for the gifts she sent. When she spoke to Vernon Dursley to ask if he was Harry's family, he simply said that he was "in a way" and left.

### Chamber of Secrets

During the summer, Ron told his parents that he had written letter to Harry many times but he hadn't receievrd a replt. When Arthur found out through work that Harry was sent an official warning from the Improper Use of Magic Office, he and Molly agreed that if he didn't write back by Friday, they would go and get him.

However, when she woke up the next day, she realises that Fred, George and Ron had taken Arthur's Ford Anglia. They saw her in the garden looking angry when they got back after saving Harry Potter from the Dursley family. She shouted at her children and then cooked for Harry. While Fred, George and Ron were de-gnoming the garden, she told Arthur that they had taken the car expecting him to get angry. She was very annoyed when he found interesting instead. Ron and Harry left them arguing.

Mrs Weasley was very kind to Harry, giving him the love and affection he never had at home. She thought he was skinny and kept trying to feed him and give him second servings. During a shopping trip to Diagon Alley, she was frantic when Harry went missing after taking the Floo Network until Rubeus Hagrid found him. Mr and Mrs Granger joined them and Molly kept warning Arthur to stop asking about the Muggle world. When they collected their money in Gringotts, she took Ginny to get second-hand robes. They returned to their family in Flourish and Blotts an hour later.

Molly was very excited to learn that Gilderoy Lockhart had a book signing that day. However while he was signing books, Arthur had a fight with Lucius Malfoy and knocked into a bookshelf. She was very angry at Arthur and was worried about what Lockhart thought of it but Fred told her that he had considered it good publicity. She had to give Arthur another warning when he wanted to ask Mr and Mrs Granger yet another thing about their world.

On the first of September, the family were running very late for the train to Hogwarts. Arthur looked at the time when everyone was finally in the car and wanted to use the Invisibility Booster to fly it to King's Cross but Molly would not let him do it in broad daylight. They had to turn around three times to go back to The Burrow because Fred, George and Ginny forgot things. They eventually managed to get there in time and she run through the wall to Platform 9 3/4 with Ginny.

However when she and Arthur went back to the car, they found it missing because Harry and Ron had taken it to fly to school. They were witnessed flying by several Muggles and it was reported in the newspapers. Arthur faced an investigation at work for illegally enchanting the car by using it. She sent Ron a Howler to shout at him. Arthur was fined 50 galleons and an article was published in the newspapers. Reporters wanted to speak to Mr Weasley but he declined to comment. Mrs Weasley told reporters she would let the family ghoul out if they would not go.

In May, Mrs Weasley was sent a letter by Percy telling her and Mr Weasley that Ginny was missing and a warning saying "HER SKELETON WILL LIE IN THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS FOREVER" was found. They had to go up to the school, and spoke to Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore. Harry and Ron eventually showed up, having saved Ginny. She and Mr Weasley embraced her and Dumbledore told everyone how Voldemort had enchanted Ginny, leaving her shocked. They then took Ginny to the Hospital Wing.

### Prisoner of Azkaban

In the summer of 1993, Arthur won the Grand Prize Galleon Draw. He spent it on a month-long holiday for their family to visit Bill who was working abroad. They appeared in a photograph on the front of the Daily Prophet.

For the final day of the holidays, she and her family, with Hermione, joined Harry at the Leaky Cauldron where he was staying. They had dinner together before heading to their rooms. Harry overheard Arthur and Molly arguing about Sirius Black. Arthur wanted to tell Harry who Sirius was and that he was danger. Molly was worried it would depress Harry and questioned whether Sirius really did want to hurt him. Arthur was frustrated at her and told her that she knew Sirius was heard talking about it. In the end, she conceded that Arthur should do what he thought was the right thing.
