Meet Rose Granger-Weasley – Chaser of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. 

So! Here is my attempt at painting the lovely Rosie as what I, personally, see her to be. 

Don’t mind the Nimbus 2019. Im really bad at math so I horribly calculated an estimation as to what year her broom would probably be.. even though it is most definately, probably, wrong.. Considering I didnt factor in the 4 years and…. too much math. I tried. 🙂

headcanon that teddy lupin has a little “business” at hogwarts where he will change his appearance to someone and then go do whatever it is that person needs to do. like if someone needs to break up with their boyfriend but are too scared to do it, they’ll hire teddy and teddy will change into them and do it for them. or if they need to go serve detention but the professor is really shitty to that person and they can’t handle it, teddy will go to detention for them so that the person doesn’t have to deal with that professor. or if they are nervous about a date with someone, teddy will turn into that person so that they can practice talking to that person until they feel they can calmly do so. teddy just being a helpful person getting paid in sweets or tutoring or a drink in Hogsmeade

Teddy is not available to serve detentions with Professor Longbottom, who can recognize his mannerisms too well (“Honestly Teddy, your godfather makes that same face.”) or McGonagall, who took one look at him the first time he tried and announced that he could serve his own detention the next night.

I approve of this addition. 11/10.

I know no one pays attention to Charlie Weasley’s date of birth and this is an incredibly nitpicky timeline complaint, but according to the wiki, Charlie graduated Hogwarts in June of 1991. (Harry and Ron show up for their first year of Hogwarts in September of 1991.) 

I thought it was implied (or perhaps outright stated) that the Gryffindor Quidditch team was dismal the year before Harry became Seeker? McGonagall says outright to Wood that they were flattened in their last match with Slytherin and that she couldn’t look Snape in the eye for weeks. 

So… did Charlie not play Quidditch in his last year? Did he get injured in Care of Magical Creatures class or something? McGonagall and Wood are absolutely the sort to get overly dramatic about the state of the Gryffindor Quidditch team due to one match where Charlie Weasley couldn’t make it (maybe he had a job interview that weekend), but it really makes more sense to me if Charlie was just one year older and Gryffindor went through a “Great Year of Shame”. 

I think for my upcoming fic, it’s either going to be “universe alteration: Charlie Weasley is one year older” or I’m going to have to make sure that Minerva McGonagall and Oliver Wood take every opportunity to passive-aggressively complain about Charlie Weasley’s “Betrayal” of the Gryffindor Team to Ron. 

(Ron: “???He was in the hospital???”) 

Oliver Wood, when Harry starts ending up in the Hospital Wing due to his adventures, wide-eyed with horror: “Oh, no. It’s happening again.” 

I just assumed that Charlie pulled a F&G and left after getting his OWLs. Maybe he had a six year, maybe not, but that he didn’t do seventh or bother with NEWTs at all. It’s not like we know what the required qualifications are at the dragon reserve.

Oliver Wood and Professor McGonagall being Gryffindover Dramatic about missing one match is amazing and perfect, though.

Oh, I like that idea. I could totally see Charlie speedrunning his last couple years at Hogwarts, taking his NEWTs at the end of his sixth, then running away to Romania now that he’s seventeen and officially An Adult. 

I figure Molly would be out for blood if Charlie just ditched his NEWTs altogether, but Charlie countered that by getting the absolute minimum number of NEWTs (he did well, though) needed for his job (or to later get promoted at the reserve into a job that did require qualifications) and to graduate Hogwarts. (I don’t know how wizards do post-secondary education and the field of magizoology is obvious a hot mess, but Charlie is the Weasley I can most see doing an apprenticeship or some magical university / college program.) 

So, Molly is… proud… of him, but I imagine Charlie also countered that by just straight-up not telling anyone he was going to pull this. Like, he studied himself (using Bill’s books), he signed up for the exams himself (maybe Bill also took a NEWT early), and then he went out and got the job himself. (Initially failing to get his Apparition License was a bit of a setback, but it was a good diversion for his family while he was stressing out over his NEWTs.) 

Like, no one really had time to be proud of Charlie? Because, like, he just dropped it all on them and then left for his New Adult Job a week later (max). 

(Charlie, I imagine, is a very steady dude, which lulls people into a sense of complacency, but he’s interspersed with Big Exciting Moments. Like when he was eight, he went out and caught a toad, put the toad on a chicken’s egg, took careful notes, and almost succeeded in making a basilisk. Every once a while the older Weasleys are still overcome with the urge to “Check On What Charlie Is Doing Now”, but when they checked on him over the past year, they mistakenly passed it off as “oh, just school stress” and didn’t look closer.) 

“I wanted it to be a surprise,” Charlie says, reassuring, in the same not-actually-reassuring way he talks about Quidditch accidents or COMC projects. “What if I’d failed? That would have been embarrassing. Don’t worry, Mum, I know this guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who works at the reserve, and he says he’s got a spare couch for me to live on. Everything’s taken care of.” 

Fred and George were very impressed. Ron and Ginny were too young to really understand or care, save that they were losing their big brother. Percy was also vaguely impressed (Percy is the guy who would go on to take 12 OWLs, he thinks Charlie could have done better) but mostly distraught, because Charlie ditching 7th year leaves Percy alone with Fred and George at Hogwarts. (So, when it comes down to who feels more Betrayed by Charlie Weasley, between Percy and Oliver, it honestly just depends on what happened that day (what F&G did that day, actually, since Percy and Oliver both deal with them).) 

Molly wrote Bill like, “DID YOU KNOW?!” To which Bill was like, “No??? But good for him. It sounds like he’s got everything taken care of.” (Bill doesn’t touch on how that Charlie doesn’t speak Romanian or is moving out to live on some random person’s couch, because he’s not going to bat that hard for his little brother.) “Honestly, Mum, it could have been way worse.” 

And then, years later, Fred and George happened.

Writing longer canon-era HP fic is always bizarre for me because at some point, if I want a coherent universe, I’m basically just going, “Hey… hey… what if Hogwarts was, like, a mildly functional school. With, like, policies on pets and teachers supervising death-on-brooms practice and more than one professor per core class.”
