Witching World: A Presentation of the Weasley Coven

In Harry Potter canon, the Weasleys are a large, if poor, family, consisting of one father, one mother, six sons and one daughter. In my “witching world” AU, where polygamy is the norm and families tend to be on the large side anyway, the number of Weasleys has grown considerably.

In this world, we have one father, five mothers, and fifteen daughters. (When the coven first appears in the fourth chapter of “Holly Potter and the Witching World,” there are only twelve daughters... the youngest three are born later.)

PARENTS:

Arthur: Patriarch of the coven, father of all the Weasley children. A friendly and jovial (and, let’s face it, highly fertile) man with a passion for Muggles and their many inventions. He’s responsible for the pre-Hogwarts education of the children, and in his spare time he’s a bit of an inventor. (Canon counterpart: Arthur Weasley)

Molly: Arthur’s oldest wife, and birth mother of Will, Charlene, Persephone, Fred, George, Ronnie and Ginny. A loving mother and wife, if at times slightly overbearing, she is the primary and most efficient homemaker of the coven and, having given birth to seven of the fifteen Weasley children, the only wife not to ever have a job outside the house. (Canon counterpart: Molly Weasley)

Amanda (”Mandy”): Arthur’s second wife, birth mother of Anna and Elaine, The strictest and most diciplinary of the Weasley mothers, but also possesses a keen wit and is the first to laugh at herself. Muggle-born, she works as a Muggle liason at the Ministry, but seldom sees her Muggle family. (Canon counterpart: None)

Francine: Arthur’s third wife, and birth mother of Marlyssa and Isa. A calm and patient woman who works as an Auror alongside her longtime partner and lover Alice; they were the ones who brought the notorious Bellatrix Black to justice. Alice is known for keeping calm in a crisis and treats work and family life with approximately the same cheerful stoicism. (Canon counterpart: Frank Longbottom)

Alice: Arthur’s fourth wife, Francine’s partner and lover since their Hogwarts days, and birth mother of Nella, Lydia and Celia. She’s one of the boldest and fiercest Aurors the Ministry has seen, but at home she’s the gentlest and most comforting of the Weasley mothers, always ready with a soft lap and a warm hug. (Canon counterpart: Alice Longbottom)

Flora: Arthur’s youngest wife, and birth mother of Dahlia. A Muggle-born dragonologist hailing from Kansas, who came over to Britain to study British dragons and ended up falling in love with the Weasleys and joining their coven. Flora can easily be identified by her American accent, her penchant for skimpy outfits, and her large number of colourful magical wigs -- an unfortunate encounter with a Chinese Fireball left her completely bald.. (Canon counterpart: None)

CHILDREN (listed from oldest to youngest):

Willhelmina (”Will”): The oldest and tallest daughter of the coven, and enjoys a certain amount of respect from her siblings because of that. Will is one of those lucky people to whom everything seems to come easily; she’s got a multitude of talents and seems to be headed for a glorious career as an international curse-breaker. (Canon counterpart: Bill Weasley)

Charlene (”Charlie”): Good-natured and adventurous, Charlie would prefer to spend all her time outdoors, either playing Quidditch, exploring the wilderness or taking care of animals. While she could probably have made it as a professional Quidditch player, her true passion is dragons. As such, she is determined to follow in Flora-Mum’s footsteps and become a dragonologist. (Canon counterpart: Charlie Weasley)

Anna: Anna is bright, quick and charming. She possesses a keen wit and has an uncanny knack for analysis and deduction, but she can sometimes be oblivious to the things going on right under her nose. That said, she’s probably got the most common sense of the Weasley daughters, and her sisters often turn to her for advise. (Canon counterpart: None.)

Persephone: DON’T call her Percy. She’s the brainiest, most studious and most serious of the Weasleys, and often has little patience for her sisters’ tomfoolery, She can be a stickler for detail and is usually the last one to get a joke, but she works harder at her goals than anyone.(Canon counterpart: Percy Weasley)

Frederica (”Fred”); A bundle of energy and a constant source of silliness and practical jokes, Fred would have been a handful even on her own. But she’s hardly ever on her own; she’s practically inseparable from her twin sister George, who’s her constant partner-in-crime. Fred was born physically male, but hated being a boy, always insisting that she was really a girl. At first, the Weasleys did not know how to handle this, but after educating themselves on gender dysphoria, they decided that it would do more harm than good to try and force Fred to be a boy, Hence, at the age of ten, she was put on the “Mulierarius“ potion and transformed into the girl she always knew she was. (Canon counterpart: Fred Weasley)

Georgina (”George”): Only slightly calmer and more introspective than her twin sister Fred, but with the same outrageous sense of humour and fondness for jokes and pranks. Unlike Fred, George was born physically female and despite her boyish nickname has never had a problem with her sex. (Canon counterpart: George Weasley)

Elaine (”Ellie”): The seventh-born daughter of the coven, Elaine is “the pretty one,” often content to rely on her looks to get by. She’s genteel and romantic, but can occasionally be vain, selfish, and a bit of a schemer. She’s the only Weasley daughter to ever be Sorted into Slytherin -- much to her family’s surprise. (Canon counterpart: None)

Veronica (”Ronnie”): Faced with seven older sisters and seven younger ones, Ronnie has developed a bit of an independent streak and to her family’s frustration has a tendency to go off alone when they want her to stick with them. She loves adventure and excitement, she’s very resourceful and has a strong sense of humour, but she can be blunt, stubborn and sarcastic. She’s fiercely protective of her younger siblings. (Canon counterpart: Ron Weasley)

Nella: One of only two Weasley daughters who isn’t a redhead, chubby blonde Nella is only a few months younger than Ronnie, and a bit of a shy and quiet girl, not help by her mile-wide clumsy streak, and a really poor memory. She is, however, a genius with plants, and there are greater strengths in her than she knows herself. (Canon counterpart: Neville Longbottom)

Ginevra (”Ginny”): If she ever bothered to properly groom herself and doll herself up, Ginny could give Elaine a serious run for her money when it comes to being the “pretty one”... but for the most part she just doesn’t bother. Ginny is lively and active, interested in sports, and can usually be found tagging along with the twins. (Canon counterpart: Ginny Weasley)

Marlyssa: Marlyssa is the family artist. She’s usually calm and cheerful, with a glib tongue and a bit of an artistic streak, and while her sisters get into trouble Marlyssa is usually happiest sitting down somewhere and working on her drawing. (Canon counterpart: None)

Lydia: The other non-redhead among the children, as she has the same blonde hair as her birth mother Alice and sister Nella. Lydia is probably the most scatterbrained and impatient Weasley, always trying to do two things at once, usually with the result that she doesn’t do either of them particularly well. (Canon counterpart: None)

Dahlia (“Dolly”): The “cuddly” one. While most of the Weasleys are generous with physical affection, Dolly is like a love-hungry kitten in her fondness for hugging and cuddling. She can occasionally get clingy, but is generally good-natured about being told to back off. Otherwise, Dolly is the most easygoing of the Weasleys; she’s just as likely to follow Isa or the twins into mischief as she is to sit quietly and draw with Marlyssa. (Canon counterpart: None)

Isabelle (”Isa”): Isa hardly ever means to misbehave. It’s just that she’s so very impulsive, never thinks before she acts, and tends to let her imagination run away with her. Small mishaps tend to turn huge thanks to her frequent desperate attempts at fixing them, and when disaster inevitably strikes she usually runs and hides behind one of her older sisters. She is almost inseparable from Celia, as the two were born only weeks apart and feel almost like a second pair of twins. (Canon counterpart: None)

Celia: The youngest of the Weasley coven; it’s kind of odd that she and Isa should be so close because they’re actually quite different: Where Isa is impulsive and extroverted, Celia is more careful and introverted. But together with Isa she usually lets herself get dragged into one mishap after the other. (Canon counterpart: None)
