Why Ronald Weasley Will Always Be MY King

Let me bluntly make it clear that it is a long time since I have written an article. I specialise in writing poems and hence please do not have too many expectations from me; as far as articles are concerned. This particular article is about Ronald Weasley (‘Ron’ in short), a character from the legendary Harry Potter franchise. He is the best friend of the main character i.e. Harry Potter himself. Ron was the last son to be born to Arthur and Molly Weasley; before their daughter Ginevra (‘Ginny’ in short) was born. The Weasley family has generally been known to be very kind and generous, but fiercely competitive; owing to the presence of seven children as well as the poverty in which they generally live. Ron, apart from his sister Ginny; has five brothers: Bill, Charlie, Percy and the twins Fred and George.

Ron, when he starts his journey with the famous wizarding school Hogwarts; is not seen as special in any way. This is because his brothers have already achieved a lot. Bill, the eldest, is a cursebreaker at the wizarding bank Gringotts. The second eldest Charlie was one of the best Seekers (a position in the famous wizarding sport ‘Quidditch’) and could have even played professionally for England; but instead his passion for wild and dangerous beasts led him to Romania to work with dragons there. The third eldest Percy is a Prefect at Hogwarts, ambitious by nature, excellent in academics and known to follow the rulebook to the tee; hence is his mother’s pet. The twins Fred and George haven’t achieved anything special as such, but they are extremely naughty and mischievous and play a lot of practical jokes; due to which they are quite popular. To cap it all, Ron gets everything second-hand; Bill’s old robes, Charlie’s old wand and Percy’s old rat Scabbers (more on him later).

When the Hogwarts Express departs, Ron is sitting alone in a compartment. Then the famous Harry Potter decides to sit with him and everything changes for Ron. They gel very well and after arriving at Hogwarts get sorted into Gryffindor; the house of the brave, daring and chivalrous. Harry receives a lot of attention because of his having survived the killing curse of Lord Voldemort – the arch-villain of the series who killed his parents – as a one-year-old baby. Ron is seen just as Harry’s sidekick, but he puts up with it patiently. Both Harry and Ron have quite a few run-ins with their fellow Gryffindor Hermione, a very talented Muggle-born witch who is initially too bookish and obsessed with following the rules; just like Ron’s elder brother Percy. However, Hermione eventually develops a friendship with both boys when they save her from a mountain troll on the loose; a friendship that deepens over the years.

As I mentioned earlier, Ron is seen as ordinary by most people. However, in this article I will show you how Ron is special in many ways. Firstly, he is very loyal (something that his detractors will dispute; more on that later). Secondly, he is a true Gryffindor; showing a lot of daring and nerve on many crucial occasions. Thirdly, Ron has a very dry and goofy sense of humour and thus lightens things up when everything looks bleak. Fourthly, he is a fantastic Keeper (another position in Quidditch) – more on that later of course. Finally, he is the glue that binds the trio (Harry, Ron and Hermione).

In the first year, Ron stays at Hogwarts during Christmas for Harry’s sake; in spite of having a huge family back at home – it’s important to note that Christmas celebrations with family are held in very high regard as far as a country like Britain is concerned and wizards and witches follow this tradition even more fiercely; particularly a closely knit family like the Weasleys. During this time, Harry and Ron stumble upon the Mirror of Erised; a magic mirror that shows your heart’s deepest desires. Ron sees himself winning the House Cup for Gryffindor and even being the Quidditch captain – many people misinterpret this as Ron being too ambitious and thus being  more suited for Slytherin (a house with a reputation for following the Dark Arts and supporting Voldemort); but it is actually very touching, because Ron has been outshined all these years by his family and his deepest desire is to stand tall in front of them, something I can personally relate to very well – often having been the third wheel among my classmates and friends during my college years – both Engineering and MBA.

Later during the first year, Harry, Hermione and their fellow Gryffindor friend Neville end up losing 150 points for Gryffindor at one go for being out of bed in the middle of the night – with Harry and Hermione forgetting their Invisibility Cloak at the top of the Astronomy Tower, while sending off their friend and Hogwarts gamekeeper Hagrid’s illegally purchased dragon Norbert off to Romania through Charlie’s friends; and thus getting caught by caretaker Filch – and Neville getting caught due to his trying to warn his friends about their arch-rival Draco Malfoy of Slytherin. Since House points are usually considered very important, especially during the first few years; Harry suddenly goes from being the most admired student to the most hated (by all Houses except Slytherin). Apart from Hermione, only Ron stands with Harry during this difficult period.

Towards the end of the year, the trio need to face a considerable amount of danger and cross numerous obstacles; in order to stop Voldemort from obtaining the Philosopher’s Stone – its Elixir can make him immortal. When Harry and Ron get trapped by the deadly plant ‘The Devil’s Snare’, Hermione knows she needs to light a fire in order to rescue them; but loses her cool in the face of crisis and says “there’s no wood” – it’s Ron who reminds her that she’s a witch and needs to do it magically. Soon later, Ron bravely sacrifices himself in a game of wizarding chess in order to ensure that Harry and Hermione win and thus get a shot at capturing the Stone. This, as later pointed out by Percy Weasley, is a tremendous achievement; as the chess board pieces were transfigured by the Transfiguration teacher, Head of Gryffindor and Deputy Headmistress Professor McGonagall, to become live players – and nobody had achieved what the trio had done in decades!

During the second year, it’s Ron and the twins Fred and George who rescue Harry when he is effectively put under house arrest by his cruel Muggle relatives, the Dursleys. They use their father’s illegally bewitched Flying Car for this purpose; thus, poor Ron and his brothers earn the wrath of their strict mother. Later, when Dobby the houseelf causes Harry and Ron to miss the Hogwarts Express; it’s Ron who decides that they use the same Car instead to travel to Hogwarts. The journey ends in an absolutely nightmarish manner, as a very dangerous tree in the Hogwarts grounds ‘The Whomping Willow’ attacks them from all sides. Apart from suffering a few bruises and cuts, Ron’s wand almost gets split into two pieces and ends up malfunctioning for the rest of the year in spite of his stitching it with Spellotape.

To make matters worse for the boys, they both receive a detention from the kind but extremely strict Professor McGonagall and Molly Weasley sends her son a Howler that causes him a great deal of shame and embarrassment in front of the entire school. One day there is a confrontation between the Gryffindor and Slytherin Quidditch players on the grounds; during which Ron and Hermione join Harry, who is the Gryffindor Seeker. Slytherin’s new Seeker Draco calls Hermione a “Mudblood” (which is the wizarding equivalent of “nigger” or “kike”), which causes the entire Gryffindor team to erupt with fury. Ron immediately jumps to Hermione’s defence and uses a Slug Vomiting Charm on Draco; however, Ron’s malfunctioning wand backfires on him and it’s Ron who ends up belching slugs all over the pitch; much to the great amusement of the Slytherins. To make matters worse for him, his detention with the student-hating caretaker Filch on the same night involves a lot of hard manual labour (polishing a lot of trophies, shields and medals without using magic); worsened by his burping slugs all over one of the trophies. So you see, how much Ron has to go through for the sake of his friends, especially his best mate Harry.

Later in the year, Hogwarts is in a constant state of danger as various Muggle-born students (as well as Filch’s cat and the Gryffindor ghost) are attacked by a Basilisk (a giant venomous snake that can kill through mere eye contact) set loose by the Heir of Slytherin. When the Dueling Club is started by the extremely vain and highly incompetent fraud of a Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher Lockhart, Harry and Draco end up in a face off. Based on the advice of his mentor (Professor Snape, the Potions Master and Head of Slytherin who hates Harry), Draco conjures a venomous snake to attack Harry. Snape offers to get rid of the snake, but Lockhart instead jumps in and uses a rather ineffective spell that actually causes the snake to shift targets and attack Justin, a Muggle-born Hufflepuff (the house of the loyal, patient and hardworking) instead. Harry, without being aware of what he is doing, impulsively charges at the snake and asks it to leave Justin alone. Miraculously, the snake becomes docile all of a sudden.

Usually, in such a situation, you would expect Harry to receive praise for saving a fellow student in a life-and-death situation. However, the entire school turns against Harry instead. This is because Harry has spoken Parseltongue i.e. snake language, without even realising that he was speaking it. Parseltongue is considered a Dark Art and something that very few people are capable of; especially as far as non-Slytherins are concerned. Moreover, the Heir of Slytherin controls the Basilisk using Parseltongue. Thus, the whole school jumps into the conclusion that Harry is the Heir of Slytherin and is hence responsible for all the attacks that have occurred. Again, you see a period where Harry Potter is hated by almost everyone and Ron stands by him as a loyal friend (along with Hermione, his brothers, Neville and a few other Gryffindors of course).

Later, when Hermione also gets attacked by the Basilisk; Harry decides to follow the spiders in order to find out the culprit behind the attacks (they don’t know it’s a Basilisk yet!); based on the advice of Hagrid; who is made a scapegoat for these attacks (since he was framed for opening the Chamber of Secrets by the Heir of Slytherin during his 3^rd year at Hogwarts and consequently expelled) and taken for a “short trip” to the infamous wizarding prison Azkaban. Ron’s greatest fear is spiders; but for the sake of his friends, he decides to accompany the spiders; which head directly to the Forbidden Forest – that too in the middle of the night. Ultimately, both Harry and Ron get captured by Acromantulas; gigantic and extremely murderous talking spiders. After getting some crucial information from these horrific beasts, Harry and Ron ask them to release them. However, they try to devour the boys instead before they miraculously get saved by Arthur Weasley’s Flying Car; which they had abandoned in the Forest.

Now you see, Ron’s greatest fear is spiders and he has had to go through a near-death experience at the hands of the most dangerous magical spiders; just for the sake of his friends. This shows that he is not only a true Gryffindor but also a very loyal friend. Coming to Ron’s 3^rd year, he gets a lot of brickbats for his behaviour with Hermione – because her Kneazle (magical cat) Crookshanks eats Ron’s rat Scabbers. Yes, it is indeed true that Ron is unkind to Hermione; but come on, he has just entered his teens and lost a dear pet to his friend’s pet; which she fiercely defends. You can’t expect a thirteen-year-old to act mature and empathise when his pet has been eaten by that of his friend.  

Towards the end of the year, Ron is held hostage by the notorious mass murderer Sirius Black (responsible for killing thirteen people with a single curse) who has escaped from Azkaban and already tried to stab Ron in his Gryffindor dorm bed earlier. Harry and Hermione naturally follow him and when Harry confronts Sirius (who had betrayed Harry’s parents to Voldemort), Ron bravely defends him; that too standing on a broken leg. Another example of Ron’s sheer nerve and courage as well as loyalty to his friends!! Of course, ultimately everything ends up turning upside down. Sirius turns out to be innocent and it is actually Peter Pettigrew (assumed by all to be dead and killed by Sirius) who betrayed Harry’s parents to Voldemort, killed twelve Muggles with a Blasting curse, framed his friend Sirius and got him sent to Azkaban for 12 years. Best of all, Pettigrew is an Animagus (a wizard/witch who can transform into a particular animal at will) and his animal form is the rat Scabbers who faked his death, pretending to be eaten by Crookshanks and thus creating a rift between Ron and Hermione!!! Also, Sirius was trying to stab Scabbers (in order to avenge his friends’ deaths and also protect his godson Harry) and not Ron!!!

Coming to the fourth year, this is where we see Ron’s detractors disagree that Ron is loyal. Yes, there is indeed a rift between Harry and Ron for the first time ever; when Harry’s name comes out of the Goblet of Fire (an object that selects a student each from Hogwarts and two other wizarding schools Beauxbatons and Durmstrangs as a champion; for a highly competitive and dangerous tournament called “The Triwizard Tournament”).  However, this is a pure misunderstanding and doesn’t arise out of jealousy on Ron’s side. Don’t misunderstandings happen between best friends, especially when they are teenagers? On the night the misunderstanding happens, Harry as good as calls Ron “stupid”. I am not trying to say that Ron is innocent in this, but the fault is on Harry’s side as well; because he doesn’t make any effort to explain things to Ron, even when Hermione tries to act as a mediator and make peace. There is an incident where a bunch of Hufflepuffs and Slytherins make fun of Harry; Ron doesn’t defend Harry, but he doesn’t make fun of him either. This is not the behaviour of a jealous person.

Later, Hagrid takes Harry into the Forbidden Forest and shows him a bunch of highly dangerous dragons – facing them is supposed to be the first task of the Triwizard Tournament. When Harry returns to the Gryffindor common room, it is midnight and he shares his concerns about the task with Sirius through the common room fire. Just as Sirius is about to tell him how to ace the task, Harry has to abruptly end the conversation due to some noise from upstairs. It turns out to be Ron. Actually, Ron has not slept and has come to the common room to check on Harry purely due to concern (even though they are not on speaking terms at the moment); but Harry in his present angry and panicked state misunderstands Ron’s intentions as that of interfering and throws a badge at him. The badge hits Ron’s forehead and bounces off. Harry then proceeds to mock him by referring to his supposed jealousy (as wrongly explained by a well-meaning Hermione on the morning after the misunderstanding occurred). As Harry then storms into his dorm, Ron doesn’t try to hit Harry in retaliation or even stop him. Is this indicative at all of a jealous or disloyal friend?

Actually, what has happened here is that Ron has realised that Harry has got the wrong impression that he is jealous and also the look Harry gave Ron indicates that he hates him. This leads Ron to decide that he should be the one to make it up to Harry. During a class on the following morning, Ron tries to catch Harry’s eye but Harry is too resentful to care. Later on during the same day, Harry has to face that dangerous first task. After the task ends, Ron is white in the face while facing Harry. This is because of his concern for Harry, seeing him go through such a dangerous experience. Only a true friend can show such concern. Moreover, Ron tries to apologise to Harry but Harry immediately forgives him and even stops him from apologising. This is how natural their friendship is!!

The second task of the tournament involves rescuing “your most precious thing” held hostage by merpeople at the bottom of the Hogwarts Lake. I am not going to go to the details of the task, but the fact that Ron is chosen as Harry’s “most precious thing” proves that he is truly his best mate. For the third and final task, the champions need to find their way through a maze full of various obstacles and dangerous creatures. For this, Ron and Hermione help Harry prepare by practising a lot of magical charms, hexes, jinks and curses. This involves sacrifices on both Ron and Hermione’s part; as Harry has to practice his magic on them – including Stunning them. Once more, proof that Ron is ready to do anything for his best mate.

Coming to the fifth year, Harry is considered a lunatic or liar by most of the wizarding world; because he has proclaimed that Voldemort has risen again. Unfortunately, even though he has been tortured by Voldemort (at the end of the Triwizard Tournament) and nearly died at his hands; no one believes him because of a smear campaign against him and Professor Dumbledore himself (the greatest wizard in the world, Headmaster of Hogwarts and the Head Of the Order of the Phoenix, an organisation that he founded during the first wizarding war against Voldemort and his followers – called as “Death Eaters”) by the Ministry of Magic. Because of this and because of the PTSD he suffers due to his near-death experience with Voldemort and his Death Eaters, as well as seeing his friend and fellow Hogwarts Champion Cedric killed before his eyes; Harry is irrationally angry most of the time during the year – including with his best friends Ron and Hermione.

Though Harry’s constant anger (including even asking his owl to peck Ron and Hermione for not answering his letters [on Dumbledore’s orders] during his torturous stay with the Dursleys) is completely understandable, especially given that he has had to shoulder the responsibilities of a fully-grown adult at the age of barely fifteen; the fact that his friends constantly put up with it show how deep their bond runs. Since this article is about Ron, I will say it is again proof (not that it is needed!!!) of Ron’s constant and never-dying loyalty to his best mate. By the way, Ron becomes the Gryffindor Keeper and is genuinely quite talented, though he has a major problem with nerves. During the first Quidditch match against Slytherin, this is brutally exposed as Ron lets go goal after goal – mainly due to the taunting of the Slytherins; who compose a song called “Weasley Is Our King” to mock him in the worst way possible.

However, Ron’s talent is such that the Gryffindor captain Angelina decides to give him a chance. However, Ron’s poor form continues in the next match against Hufflepuff. Here of course, you must appreciate Angelina’s sheer patience, trust and magnamity as she decides to give him yet another chance; even when Ron himself offers to resign. Ultimately, in the final against Ravenclaw (the house of the clever, wise and witty); Ron justifies all the chances he has been given and produces his best ever performance to win the House Cup for Gryffindor. This time, the Gryffindors come up with their own version of the song “Weasley Is Our King” to praise Ron. Towards the end of the year, when Voldemort plants a false vision in Harry’s mind that leads him to believe that he has captured and tortured Sirius in the Ministry of Magic and is going to kill him; Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny and Luna (Ginny’s Ravenclaw friend from her year) join him in his rescue act and bravely fight against the Death Eaters at the Ministry. Ron proves himself quite competent in such a dangerous situation, even when certain brains take hold of him and cause him to act in a funny manner.

In the sixth year, Ron carries on from where he left off in Quidditch, saving a truckload of goals in the two matches he plays (he misses a match in between due to being accidentally poisoned by Draco; when the poison was actually meant for Dumbledore). Of course, I will have to admit that in the first match he plays well despite feeling low; because of placebo effect – Harry pretends to mix Felix Felicis (a powerful luck potion) in his pumpkin juice, on the morning of the game. Coming to the end of the year, Ron and Hermione agree to join Harry when he decides not to come to Hogwarts for the seventh year and instead pursue a dangerous mission; to find and destroy Voldemort’s Horcruxes (objects in which a wizard/witch can store pieces of his/her soul), so that Voldemort can finally be killed.

As the second wizarding war looms large (with the Ministry being taken over by Voldemort and his Death Eaters) and the Dursleys go into hiding; Ron, Hermione and many OOTP members come to take Harry safely to the Burrow, Ron’s house. During the journey, they are completely taken by surprise as a huge number of Death Eaters attack them. Ron fights bravely during this battle even as veteran Auror (Dark Wizard Catcher) Mad Eye Moody is killed by Voldemort and Ron’s brother George loses an ear. Later, Ron and Hermione show Harry the extreme measures they have taken, so that they can safely accompany Harry on his dangerous quest – including Ron and his Dad charming their ghoul to look like him being infected with spattergroit, a highly contagious disease, and Hermione modifying the memories of her parents so that they completely forget her and move to Australia instead!! This is truly the HEIGHT of LOYALTY!!

There are a few more battles which the trio face (including infiltrating the Ministry in order to obtain one of the Horcruxes, a locket) before they decide to camp in a forest; but I won’t go into them. I will now come to the point where Ron’s detractors are most active – his abandoning his friends in the forest. Well, these are a bunch of seventeen-year-olds on a highly dangerous mission; that too including Harry Potter, the most wanted person under the Ministry’s new regime. Ron is very very worried about his family and why can’t he be? They also face a lot of risk, since they are supposed to be “blood traitors” (pureblooded wizards/witches who have friendly relations with Muggles) and hence also targets under the new regime. Since the trio are camping, good food is EXTREMELY HARD to come by and your mood gets affected by what kind of food you eat; especially in Ron’s case; since he is used to excellent food cooked by his Mom. Moreover, the trio have to take turns wearing the locket they obtained at the Ministry.

The locket, since it contains a piece of Voldemort’s soul; affects the mood of the person who wears it quite adversely. Once Harry wasn’t even able to use the Patronus Charm (one of his core areas of expertise) to fight Dementors (soulless creatures who can suck your soul out through their filthy mouths and cause you to remember your worst memories) while looking for food; since he was wearing the locket. Also, the locket affects Ron much worse than others, because of his insecurities – which are natural at this age and especially considering someone like Ron who has not been seen as special by most people. Also, Harry doesn’t have a clear plan on how to find the Horcruxes and destroy them; something that disappoints not only Ron but Hermione as well. Also forgot to mention, Ron has been carrying an arm injury since the trio successfully managed to escape the Death Eaters after infiltrating the Ministry. Plus, in such a dangerous situation when you are almost cut off from the world; tempers are bound to rise at some stage. At one stage, things just flare up and Harry and Ron end up having a big fight; at the end of which Ron leaves.

I am not going to justify Ron leaving; but it is something that can happen to ANYONE. And Ron is genuinely remorseful; as he says, he decides to return almost immediately after leaving. However, he runs into a bunch of Snatchers (hired petty crooks on payroll of Voldemort) and somehow manages to escape. However, by that time it is too late; because, after all, Harry and Hermione, given their dangerous existence, constantly need to put up spells that would prevent unwanted visitors. Moreover, they keep moving in order to stay safe. Hence, Ron is unable to find them and thus goes to stay with his newly married eldest brother Bill and his French wife Fleur at Shell Cottage. Ultimately though, through the means of an object which Dumbledore had bequeathed to him through his will; Ron manages to find Harry and Hermione.

Before their reunion, however, Ron saves Harry’s life. Moreover, he even destroys the locket; though not before the locket shows visions of Harry (speaking in Voldemort’s voice) and Hermione kissing and Harry even saying that Ron’s mother would have preferred him over someone like Ron. So now you get an idea of Ron’s insecurities; which is again something that can happen to ANYONE; including even a 35-year-old like me!! However, the point is Ron bravely faces his fears and conquers them. This is the moment Ron transforms from a boy to a man. Later on, Harry gets distracted due to his obsession with the Deathly Hallows (3 powerful objects that can help the owner defeat Death) and loses focus on the Horcruxes. During this period, Ron effectively takes over as the leader of the trio and constantly urges his friends to keep looking in various places for the remaining Horcruxes.

It is also important to know that it is Ron who learns about the Taboo on Voldemort’s name while he was away from his friends. It is also Ron who manages to tune in to Potterwatch (a radio programme that actually reports the truth about the war unlike the others that keep a pro-Voldemort stance) and get his friends to listen to it; which not only provides them valuable information about the war but also instils hope. However, while all you haters of Ron keep harping about his leaving his friends; it is actually Harry who manages to get them all captured by the Death Eaters and taken to Malfoy Manor (the mansion where Draco Malfoy stays with his family and also the meeting point for the other Death Eaters and Voldemort); due to his carelessly saying Voldemort’s name; in spite of Ron having warned him (and Hermione) countless times against doing it.

When Bellatrix Lestrange, Draco’s aunt and Voldemort’s most loyal Death Eater, expresses her wish to take Hermione in for questioning (and undoubtedly a lot of torture); Ron offers to take Hermione’s place; knowing fully well that Bellatrix is highly evil and dangerous and was the one responsible for torturing Neville’s parents to insanity. Bellatrix obviously refuses, since she considers a “Mudblood” like Hermione more worth torturing than a “blood traitor” like Ron. However, the point is to show how unflinching Ron’s bravery and loyalty is; irrespective of the situation. I don’t know which is more gut-wrenching; Hermione’s constant screams as she gets tortured or Ron’s following screams “HERMIONE! HERMIONE!” whenever Hermione screams. In his desperation to get help, he even tries to Disapparate (disappear instantly and appear instantly in another place) without a wand; something which is not possible for anyone except houseelves.

Ultimately, Dobby the houseelf rescues them; sacrificing his own life in the process. Later, the trio break into Gringotts, helped by a goblin; in order to obtain another Horcrux. I won’t go into all that. Later, they somehow manage to escape on a dragon’s back and land in the middle of nowhere. Then they somehow manage to sneak into Hogwarts; helped by Aberforth (the late Prof. Albus Dumbledore’s brother) and Neville. This is where the war finally ends, though not without a loss of lot of lives; will come to that later. There is a moment where Ron finally shows his hidden sensitive side – displaying concern for the houseelves of Hogwarts; it ultimately turns into a romantic moment as Hermione decides this is the right time to kiss him – even when they are right in the middle of a war!! Shows how lovable Ron can be!!

Coming to the loss of lives, Ron loses his brother Fred; but continues fighting bravely in spite of such a tragic loss – especially considering that the death occurs while Fred is laughing at a joke told by Percy!! Later, Harry surrenders himself to Voldemort and is supposed to have “died”, though he actually survives and instead the Horcrux which is inside him gets destroyed by Voldemort himself!! The point is, when Voldemort announces Harry’s “death”, a silence falls over the school; after the initial screams of Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Prof. McGonagall. When Voldemort lies about how Harry “died” while trying to escape, Ron yells in fury “HE BEAT YOU!!”

Well, this is the final noteworthy act from Ronald Weasley before the series ends; with Harry finally killing Voldemort. Later on, in the epilogue, Ron is married to Hermione and their kids are off to Hogwarts, as are Harry and Ginny’s kids and everyone else’s. Further on, though not given in the book; we find out through interviews given by JK Rowling (author of the entire series) that Harry and Ron become Aurors; though Ron later quits his job as an Auror and instead joins his brother George in running his joke shop “Weasleys’s Wizarding Wheezes”. So, on this note, I will end this VERY VERY LONG ESSAY celebrating Ronald Weasley. As for the title, by now it should be obvious that it comes from the Gryffindor version of the song “Weasley Is Our King”!! Ta Ta!!!
