MOLLY KATHERINE WEASLEY
 Molly Katherine Weasley was born to workaholics Percy and Audrey Weasley on May 14th 2006. From the start it was clear that she took after her mother's side of the family, since the Weasley red hair was clearly absent from her young head. Instead she got pretty blonde curls from somewhere way back in her mother's side of the family - but her lanky height and talent for causing trouble is pure Weasley. She was the only child in the house for two years, and spoiled rotten as a result. However, when her little sister came along, that all changed. Molly at first adored baby Lucy and could often be found pushing her small arms through the bars of Lucy's cot or just sitting watching her younger sister with delight. As the girls started to get a bit older, however, Molly began to resent the fact that Lucy was causing a diversion of attention away from herself and worked to remedy that. Despite this, the sisters were close growing up and Molly depended on Lucy quite a bit, although she'd never admit that. Leaving for Hogwarts, Molly got sorted into Hufflepuff and hit her groove almost instantly. She was never very good at lessons but she was cute enough to get away with most misbehaviour, at least for the first year. She somehow scraped enough passes to stay at the school despite a year of doing next to no schoolwork - a trend that has continued throughout her school career - and she became a regular fixture at the centre of attention along with most of her cousins. Simply put, Molly Weasley walks into a room, you are going to know about it. Moving up through the school, Molly discovered the delights of boys around her third year and lost her virginity very quickly. She found out how much she enjoyed sex and boys and flirting and quickly established a reputation for herself as being very easy. This didn't bother her at all - she wasn't particularly aware of the opinions of others, for one thing, and also it just meant she got more boys, which she thought was a pretty good thing! Despite Lucy having recently joined Hogwarts, Molly made no effort to tone her behaviour down out of respect for her little sister and never gave any thought to how her reputation would affect Lucy. This drove a further wedge between the sisters - Molly was aware of her sister's resentment, but got pissed off in return that Lucy was being condescending about her attitude to boys, and their relationship continued to deteriorate. Molly is a genuine, kind, and friendly person, but the one thing she really hates is when people look down on her, and whether Lucy did or not was sort of irrelevant because Molly got the impression that she did, and acted pretty bitchily accordingly. She never talked about her sister behind her back or anything, but they were both very cutting to each other during the holidays and when they were around each other, and got to a stage where they found it very difficult to be in each other's company. At the end of fifth year, Molly somehow got through her OWLs (with the help of a lot of tutoring) and moved happily up into Sixth Year. There were tensions running throughout their family, however, and even self-absorbed Molly couldn't remain oblivious to how much her parents were fighting. Unsure what to do about the situation - she and Lucy had grown so far apart she had no clue what to do to her sister except bicker with her - Molly just... pretended like it wasn't happening. She carried on with her life, throwing herself into parties and her friends and spending as much time as possible out of the house, reasoning that if she couldn't hear the fighting it was like it never happened. She spent a lot of time with her cousins at this point, and more with her friends. She had no clue how Lucy was dealing with the situation, but naively assumed her sister would just do the same as her - get on with her life. She didn't realise that Lucy was taking it all a lot harder than she was. Molly breezed through sixth year merrily like nothing was wrong at all, and sashayed into summer with her high spirits intact and more notches in her bedpost than the year before by almost double. That summer, however, she made a very big mistake. Teddy Lupin was an age-old friend of the family, and his and Victoire's relationship had been the talk of the town in the house because everybody thought it was so fairytale and perfect. Unfortunately, the pair of them had broken up, and the fairytale was over. Despite being thoroughly aware that Teddy was generally considered off-limits now to the girls in their family, Molly found him in a field behind the Burrow on his birthday looking very despondent, and had sex with him to cheer him up (and also because she'd forgotten to get him a birthday present and she considered this better than most of what she could buy). That wasn't so much the problem, because she's sure they could have kept it on the down-low and got on with their lives without anybody being any the wiser. Unfortunately, something happened to Molly that had not happened before - she realised that she liked Teddy. And not just liked him in a "that was great sex let's do it again" kind of way - in the kind of way where she wanted to stay up into the late hours of the night just talking to him, learning all about him and what he was thinking and dreaming and hoping. Being Molly, she was so unsure what to do with this new revelation that she just went into retreat. She and Teddy avoided each other for a good while, but the pull was pretty irresistible and eventually Molly talked herself into the (to her) reasonable conclusion that she was probably just feeling this because Teddy was a good guy and she should be friends with him. It was like friend-lust. So she got her nerve back about halfway through her Seventh Year, cornered him into addressing the situation, and now they are fast friends. They've discovered to their immense surprise that they suit each other marvellously - Teddy levels Molly out and keeps her grounded and much more sensible than previously, helps her make better decisions about her life. And Molly in turn lightens Teddy up and helps him to see the beauty and fun to be had in every day no matter how uneventful. Since leaving school and hanging around Teddy more, Molly has been forced to conclude that she does actually really like him, properly like him, but she's terrified of screwing up this new friendship - and although she knows Victoire has no interest in Teddy anymore, she's sure her family will think it's weird if she and Teddy started dating, and she really doesn't want to hurt anybody. She's quite certain Teddy isn't interested in her that way anyway, and she'd hate to lose him because she can't keep her feelings to herself. While all this was going on, Molly's family life finally went down the toilet. It was revealed in a fairly dramatic manner that hers and Lucy's mother had been cheating on their father for a good long while, and this summer she finally left for good. Molly took the news surprisingly stoically - she'd said goodbye in her heart to her parents' marriage a long time ago - and ended up much more concerned about her father and sister than herself. Percy took the whole thing terribly, and Molly is back living at home now she's left Hogwarts to watch out for him and make sure he's eating properly because she doesn't think he'd remember if she didn't. She was never especially close to her father growing up, since they were such different people, but she's reconnecting with him now and discovering quite how much she loves him. It's a bit of a pain having to apparate into London for work every day, where she's taking a course in child care with the aim of getting a job in a nursery at the end of the year, but it's worth it to be able to make sure her dad's okay. Lucy worries her too, since her sister has been angrier than ever lately, but that's a relationship Molly has no clue how to repair. And now she's not at Hogwarts she rarely sees her sister, and she feels like the whole thing is getting further and further out of her hands. She has the luck to have a solid friendship group to fall back on, and excellent relationships with many of her cousins, but the whole situation is wearing on her and she's having to try harder than she ever has before to keep a cheerful face on it all.
