| - Frederick Fabian "Fred" Weasley (born 1 April 1978) was a pure-blood wizard of the Weasley family; the son of Arthur and Molly Weasley (née Prewett), younger brother of Bill, Charlie and Percy Weasley, twin brother of George Weasley and elder brother of Ron and Ginny Weasley. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1989 until 1996, where he was unsurprisingly Sorted into Gryffindor. During school, he and George became infamous for their mischief, prioritizing pranks over grades to the chagrin of the Hogwarts Staff and even some students. Much of their pranking was directed to their older brother Percy, who didn't take too well to the pranking which, in his view, was borderline bullying. Fred and George became members of Harry's Court in their fourth year, the first non-founding members to join. Fred became a Beater for the Gryffindor Quidditch team alongside his twin, and when the house teams were scrapped in favour of multi-house teams, the two joined the Phenomenal Phoenixes Quidditch team, which was captained by Harry Potter. In their last year at school, Fred and George dropped out of Hogwarts and opened up Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, a joke shop located in Diagon Alley. After the successful opening of the joke shop, Fred married Angelina Johnson, his Quidditch Teammate and longtime girlfriend, in 2000. With her, he had two children; Arthur Lee Weasley; named after Fred's father and his close friend Lee Jordan, and Roxanne Alicia Weasley; named after Angelina's mother and their close friend Alicia Spinnet. The couple moved into a large cottage in Ottery St. Catchpole, not too far away from the Burrow. They are neighbours to George and Lee's families.
