Work Text:

  1. Ron Weasley and Tracey Davis became friends and bonded over the fact that they were both outcasts of their house and year: Ron being a blood traitor and Tracey the only non-pure-blood—she was a half-blood.
  2. Theodore Nott only befriended Tracey and Ron because his cousin, Daphne Greengrass, was friends with Tracey. It wasn’t until Ron took the blame for a faulty potion in Theo’s place, did he become genuine with his friendship.

  15. Theo instigated the events that led to Ron trying out for the Hogwarts Chess Club.
  16. Daphne was the one who came up with the idea of creating a grimoire with her friends. She created it after the quartet was caught using Professor Snape’s copy of Advanced Potions and they wanted a copy of his notes. Throughout their time in school, the quartet would document much of their magical findings, notes and theories into the grimoire.
  17. Professor Snape only found out the quartet had his book because Ron and Theo were once playing around with new spells, and Theo used Sectumsempra on Ron. Ron was stuck in the Hospital wing for three days.

  19. Ron hated his summer after his first year because of all the snake jokes the twins made.

  21. Ron started lying about his trips to meet the Hogwarts Chess club at Greengrass Manor when he overheard Molly and Arthur question Ron’s friendship with Theo. They didn’t approve of the friendship because Theo’s father was a convicted Death Eater.

He was traumatized after using the spell “legilimens” on the Professor, prompting Ron to witness visions of Professor Lockhart tormenting and obliviating many witches and wizards to steal their works and adventures for himself.
  28. Ron almost cried when he thought his family wouldn’t come to his national chess tournament. He did cry when he saw his parents and siblings in the crowd cheering him on.

  38. Ron’s favorite elective class was Magical Theory with Professor Sinestra. He enjoyed the lack of wand use, and having an entire class with self directed studying.

  40. Ron and Daphne couldn’t eat beans for a week after Theo compared them to Doxy droppings.
  41. It was Ron who gave Daphne the idea to formulate a way to imbue magical nuance into musical notes; in an effort to produce a “cursed” or “enchanted”  song that magically affected those who heard its tune. Theo gave Daphne the idea to use Ludovico Einaudi’s song “Nuvole Bianche”.
  42. Both Fred and George were warned about Leprechaun gold ahead of their bet with Ludo Bagman by Ron. They didn’t listen, instead getting cheated by Bagman and losing all their savings. 
  43. Ron refused to wear the dress robes his mother got him for the Yule Ball. Instead, asking Daphne to show him what to wear and what to buy the next time they went to Hogsmeade. He did this to not only purchase his own new robes, but to also ask Daphne to go with him to the Yule Ball as his date.

  46. Ron once gained approximately fifty thousand galleons in a month after he and the quartet looted the Room of Hidden Things and sold almost all of the lost items and treasures in the room.
  47. Tracey unknowingly possessed one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes. She found Ravenclaw’s Diadem in the Room of Hidden Things when she and the quartet looted the room. She was also the only person to have worn the diadem and successfully use it for its original purpose after successfully defending herself from the visions shown to her by the horcrux. She used the diadem to discover how to replicate portraiture magic: the magic used to animate a portrait, similar to those of the Headmasters of Hogwarts.
  48. Ron, Tracey and Daphne initially didn’t want to believe that Lord Voldemort had returned. It was Theo who told them to keep an open mind and eye out for any and all.
  49. Ron cried when Percy disowned his family, hugging him to get him to stay. Percy pushed him off however, causing Fred and Ginny to chase him out the door, while Molly and George comforted Ron.
  50. Ron hated his time in 12 Grimmauld Place. His only solace being in either the library researching old magics or in the tapestry room where he stared at the burn marks by the name of his paternal grandmother Cedrella Weasley née Black. A fellow Slytherin and Weasley. Ron faintly idolized her because he felt connected to her personally through his sorting.
  51. Tracey was the only Slytherin to be offered a spot in Dumbledore's Army. When Ron asked his siblings about joining after she revealed the offer, they lied to him about such a group existing.
  52. Theo gave the quartet the idea to use the Chamber of Secrets as their new secret hang out spot after Dumbledore’s Army began occupying the Come and Go Room.

  54. Daphne was the only person not born a parseltongue to uncover how to speak, translate and even write in parseltongue.
  55. The Silver Quartet were the first in centuries to uncover lost histories and tomes concerning Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin; things including their brief affair and their mutual competition for knowledge. All of which are revealed in Slytherin’s manuscripts found in the Chamber.
  56. The first spell Ron ever invented was “sanguisuga”, the leeching spell. When casted on another living being, a grey beam of magic attaches to the caster’s opponent. It begins to leech their opponent of their energy. The strength of the drain depends on the endurance and stamina of the caster.
  57. The Silver Quartet as well as Draco, Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini both joined forces in challenging High Inquisitor Umbridge’s Inquisitorial Squad, who tormented much of the Hogwarts student body. They performed numerous pranks to instigate chaos and disorder, in retaliation for Umbridge’s use of blood quills. 
  58. Ron only reconciled with Molly after their fight on Christmas Eve because of Daphne. Daphne’s parents were murdered by Voldemort in front of Ron and Daphne, and seeing the event caused Daphne to want Ron to keep his parents in his life.
  59. Ron used muggle makeup given to him by Tracey and glamor charms to conceal his dark mark. 
  60. Ron hated that he never suffered from nightmares of the Christmas night where he, Daphne and the Greengrasses (excluding Astoria who had escaped capture) were kidnapped.

  62. Ron despised the Golden Trio for taking Ginny to the ministry where she fought in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries.
  63. Molly Weasley had numerous nightmares following Ron’s disownment. Each being of a Ron being tortured by a laughing Voldemort.
  64. The first place Ron fled to after being disowned was to Fred and George’s shop in Diagon Alley, where Fred threw him out. Fred considered that moment his biggest regret in his entire life. 
  65. Professor Snape’s copy of Advanced Potions Book, also known as the Book of the Half-Blood Prince, saved the Silver Quartet on numerous occasions. Once such occasion was at the Skirmish at Owler Tor where Order of the Phoenix member Emmeline Vance was ambushed by death eaters. Ron saved her life with the use of a lethal sectumsempra to Goyle Senior’s torso. A spell he learned after finding and reading Professor Snape’s book.
  66. Theo‘s crush on Tracey in Daphne’s words “intensified” after he watched her single-handedly save Madam Amelia Bones at the attack on her home.
  67. Percy only apologized to Ron for abandoning the family after the Silver Quartet kidnapped Percy and his “close co-worker friend” Audrey Honywood in the year of 1996. 
  68. Madam Amelia Bones offered the Silver Quartet a fast processing into the auror program after the war. All four of them declined.
  69. Muriel Prewett secretly threw up after Ron amputated his arm. She refused to let even her family see her losing her cool.
  70. Astoria and Muriel both attempted to hex Ron and Daphne when they returned for the first time after leaving in the night to fight in the war.
  71. Astoria and Muriel came up with the epithet “Lord Blood Traitor” for Ron. 
  72. Daphne proposed to Ron, not the other way around.
  73. Ron changed his surname from Weasley to Greengrass after marrying Daphne. This was mainly due to his disownment, where his father stated that Ron was a “Weasley no longer”. This made Ron uncomfortable in giving Daphne his name at the altar. Instead he asked if he’d be able to take her name. She had agreed.
  74. Other than Muriel, Percy was the only other blood relative to have attended Ron’s wedding. Whilst Muriel hosted the wedding, Percy officiated.
  75. Muriel never admits to the fact, but the only reason she forced Ron to dance with her at his wedding was because she knew he was sad he couldn’t dance with his mother. So she danced with Ron and Astoria danced with Daphne as Audrey and Percy sang a duet in the background.
  76. Tracey only told Ron about her crush on Theo. Yet, she never got the chance to share her feelings before both Theo and herself died in the Battle of Hogwarts.
  77. The Silver Quartet’s assault on the Malfoy Manor led to three significant deaths that night: Rodolphus Lestrange, Rabastan Lestrange & Bellatrix Lestrange’s Unborn Child. It’s from these deaths that birthed Bellatrix’s mania for Weasley blood.
  78. Ron only forgave Harry for causing so many problems for his family, after Harry saved Daphne in her duel against Bellatrix. 
  79. Tracey, Draco and Edward Tonks and Neville Longbottom escaped Malfoy manor, but were separated from the rest of their allies. They sought shelter at the Prewett Family home where they stayed until the Battle of Hogwarts.
  80. For two weeks, the Weasley family and their friends had thought Ron had died after Bellatrix shot a blasting curse at him in the Battle of Hogwarts. However, he actually escaped when Daphne apparated him to safety as the curse exploded. His brothers Fred and Percy however did not see this occur, instead seeing an explosion and nothing but a crater and Ron’s wand left in his place.
  81. After Fenrir Greyback killed Astoria Greengrass in the Battle of Hogwarts, Daphne dueled and killed Fenrir in the Skirmish in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. She did so by summoning his teeth out from his mouth and transfigured it into a blade, which she then used to slash away at him repeatedly until he was nothing but a mangled husk of meat and blood.
  82. The Silver quartet were responsible for the deaths of many prominent death eaters in the war: the Lestrange Brothers, Fenrir, Theo’s father, Mr. Goyle, Antonin Dolohov, Pius Thicknesse, Avery Jr., Jugson and Thorfinn Rowle.
  83. The Slytherins who fought in the Battle of Hogwarts didn’t gather in the Great Hall during the hour-long respite, for they were unsure if they would be welcomed. They instead gathered in their common rooms where no professors were present to aid them. Blaise Zabini, Millicent Bulstrode, Daphne Greengrass, Graham Montague and Gemma Farley took charge of the Slytherins who fought, died, were injured or were too young to fight. 
  84. Fred had many nightmares of Ron’s “death”. Sometimes waking up in his bed screaming, feeling guilty for not saving his youngest brother. Sometimes it took the joint efforts of George, Molly, and Charlie to calm him down from his nightmares. When he discovered Ron was alive, he was in a similar state as Molly, sobbing and suddenly becoming overprotective.
  85. Andromeda Tonks and Narcissa Malfoy eventually reconciled after Draco stayed with the Tonks family for a time at Edward’s behest.
  86. Ron and Daphne held a combined funeral for Astoria, Tracey and Theo. A mausoleum was built on the ruins of Greengrass Manor where the three fallen people were interred.  Only Ron, Daphne, Tracey’s parents, and the Greengrass and Nott house elves were invited to the ceremony.
  87. Despite spending almost three months healing at St. Mungo’s Hospital, Ron’s left leg never completely healed and neither did his left eye. This left him with a limp and being blind in his left eye for the rest of his life.
  88. As Theo was the last of his family, with no paternal relatives, the Nott family became extinct at his death. The entire Nott wealth, as according to Theo’s will, was granted to his only relative, his maternal cousin Daphne. 
  89. Tracey died before her parents had their second child. A baby boy named Trent. She never got to meet Trent, but his parents made sure to tell him stories of his brave and powerful older sister.
  90. It was Ron’s idea to name any potential daughters he and Daphne would have after the late Astoria Greengrass.
  91. Ron and Daphne, with the aid of Neville, turned the charred ruins of Greengrass manor into a private botanical garden.
  92. Ron is the only one of his siblings to have no children with the typical Weasley-Prewett red hair (with the exception of his brother Charlie who had no children). With his daughter Astoria II being born with blonde hair and his son Nico having brown hair.
  93. Though Daphne’s relationship with Arthur improved over time, she never forgave him for disowning Ron.
  94. Arthur once gave four diaries once owned by his mother Cedrella to Ron for Christmas. He figured that with the knowledge of a Slytherin Weasley, he could use Cedrella’s thoughts to aid him when he decided to have kids.
  95. Daphne didn’t know she was pregnant with her daughter Astoria II until she gave birth. Astoria II became Arthur and Molly’s eldest grandchild, being born on May 1st, one day before her cousin Victoire Weasley. Daphne also didn’t know she was pregnant with her son Nico until she was six months pregnant. He was five years younger than his sister Astoria II and shared the same birthday as his paternal great-grandmother Cedrella.
  96. Ron and Daphne were willed the Prewett family home by Muriel after her passing. They moved into the house where they would later raise their family.
  97. Ron and Daphne’s children, Astoria II and Nico were both sorted into Hufflepuff when they attended Hogwarts.
  98. Ron was the first person Albus Potter wrote to after being sorted into Slytherin. Albus wrote a long letter relaying all of his worries and insecurities about being sorted into Slytherin. Instead of replying with a lengthy letter, Ron sent him one of Cedrella’s diaries. Albus noticed that the diary was unfinished. Half was filled with stories of Cedrella’s youth in Slytherin and a quarter of it was filled with Ron’s favorite tales of his time in Slytherin. On the first empty page, Albus noticed a note from Ron saying “Write your own story now. Take care and always remember to have fun.”
  99. Ron was given temporary custody of his second cousin, Mafalda Prewett, throughout her time attending Hogwarts. Mafalda loved her time growing up under Ron and Daphne’s care.
  100. Other than learning of new magics and chess, Ron’s hobbies as an adult included watching muggle films (a pastime of Tracey’s), playing the piano (a hobby of Theo’s), collecting wine (inspired by Daphne’s Italian heritage) and spending time with his family.
