Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

by

J. K. Rowling

Ron's father and an employee in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts office at the Ministry of Magic. Mr. Weasley loves Muggles and is very interested in Muggle technology, so he enjoys his job. The entire Weasley family is loyal to Dumbledore and to Harry, and when Fudge promotes Percy to a position in his office, Mr. Weasley fears that Fudge is trying to spy on the family and on Dumbledore. An active member of the Order of the Phoenix, Mr. Weasley participates in guard duty for the "weapon" that the Order is trying to protect from Voldemort. One night, Mr. Weasley falls asleep while on duty and Voldemort's snake attacks him. He survives the attack, though afterward he and a young Healer do an experiment with stitches—a practice that doesn't exist in the Wizarding world—with poor results. He does ultimately recover, however.

He could only see a sliver of Sirius's face; the rest was in darkness.

"It must have been the aftermath of the vision, that's all," said Sirius. "You were still thinking of the dream or whatever it was and—"

"It wasn't like that," said Harry, shaking his head. "It was like something rose up inside me, like there's a snake inside me—"

"You need to sleep," said Sirius firmly.
