Card Number 12/40

Molly Weasley

Molly Weasley (née Prewett), born 30th October 1949. Sister of celebrated Aurors and original Order of the Phoenix members Fabian and Gideon Prewett, both of whom were murdered during the First Wizarding War (yet such gifted duellists, it took five Death Eaters to slay them).

Wife of (now) highly respected Ministry official Arthur Weasley and mother of no less than seven Order of Merlin recipients (including deceased Hogwarts Hero Fred Weasley), a distinction which led to her being named as Mother of the Millennium by popular periodical Witch Weekly, as well as being unanimously votedScariest Mother-in-law of the Year by low-shelf magazine PlayWizard.

Great admirer of iconic Light wizard, Albus Dumbledore, Mrs Weasley became a member of the Order of the Phoenix in June 1995 when the Supreme Mugwump (and Hogwarts Headmaster) resurrected the underground organisation after the return of self-proclaimed Dark 'Lord' Voldemort (Tom Marvolo Riddle).

Forced into hiding from the then Riddle-controlled Ministry in March 1998 after her youngest son, Ronald Bilius Weasley, was identified by Snatchers as travelling with family friend and Boy-Who-Lived (twice), Harry Potter.

Participant in Battle of Hogwarts on 2nd May 1998, where her son Fred lost his life. Mrs Weasley rose to meteoric fame when she later engaged depraved Death Eater Bellatrix 'Barking Mad' Lestrange in battle after the dark witch attempted to murder her youngest child, Ginevra. Mrs Weasley's now-legendary cry of "Not my daughter, you bitch!" was followed by a dazzling display of non-verbal wandwork which deprived the younger woman of her life so fast, it is highly doubtful that Lestrange even knew what hit her.

First person ever to be immediately (and unanimously) pardoned by the Ministry of Magic for using the Killing Curse (its utilisation being deemed at the time as 'a valuable and necessary public service' under the circumstances).

Upon receiving her Order of Merlin, Second Class for (quote) 'single-handedly eradicating one of the worst dark witches in history, and bringing much-deserved justice to the families of her many victims' (unquote) - as stated by then Acting Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt - Mrs Weasley famously remarked that her noble deed had been little more than 'glorified pest control - rather like degnoming the garden, only on a bigger, more delightfully permanent scale'.

Recently wooed by media dinosaur, the Daily Prophet, Mrs Weasley's weekly Agony Aunt column 'Redhead or Dead' - which dispenses advice on matters of the heart, as well as handy cookery (and pest control) tips to readers - boosted sales of the flagging newspaper by an unprecedented three hundred percent in just two months. Author of The Frugal Kitchen: Feeding an Army on a Budget which topped the bestsellers list within twenty four hours of its release, giving Mrs Weasley the prestigious distinction of being the fastest selling author in Wizarding history.
