~*My thoughts on Bill W.*~

*Sighs Dreamily*
Perhaps it is my very penchant for rebels or maybe it's the thought 
of someone in the Weasley family being so directly related to Dark 
Arts fighting... but Bill Weasley instantly hooked my attention the 
moment he entered the room... or more precisely when Harry entered 
the room.

Bill is the eldest of 7 siblings. Obviously he's taken up the third 
authoritive position right next to his father and mother. This is 
pretty obvious by the way that even Percy, who is very opinionated, 
doesn't even flinch when Bill tells him to shut up also by the fact 
that he was, of all his brothers that went to fight, the most heavily 
injured during the Quidditch Cup raid. (It wouldn't have surprised me 
if he threw himself in front of Charlie *noticed that Charlie only 
had a rip in his shirt*) Perhaps his being the eldest and thus, 
needing to be the most responsible during the appearance (reign of 11 
years) of the Dark Lord had made him quite prone to only caring about 
the important things (not really caring about what people think of 
his appearance) and making sure that everyone he loves is safe.

All these factors might have influenced his very career choice as 
well. Being a curse breaker just might be the extreme tactical 
advantage to future HP plots... Of course the weight of his scarred 
youth might be even deeper depending on his age. 

*To which I have 2 theories on: Charlie is either 25 or 21 in book 4 
and Bill is either 22 or 26+. If you want me to go into how I figured 
this out just let me know*


~*Takes on the subject*~

There is no doubt in my mind that both Bill and Charlie will step up 
to the plate and complete the Weasley fighting force. That family in 
it's own is a miniature army. Even Ron, who thinks nothing of 
himself, does realize the fact that his natural tactic skills (Being 
undefeated in Chess) can be very important.

Mr. Weasely and Percy at the ministry, 
Bill and Charlie both with fighting forces,
Should I even MENTION the twins? It's pretty obvious to me that their 
very innovative and creative talents would easily be turned into 
weapons!! Considering that most of their "playful" inventions are 
slightly dangerous in themselves,
Ron's tactile resourcefulness,
Mrs. Weasley being an important backbone to Mr. Weasley 
And Ginny
 Well... Ginny's personality still has some developing to 
go.

With all that Bill, who leads the siblings in not only authorities 
context but being the one that will help the "good" wizards against 
the Dark Lord's biggest weapons: "The forbidden curses*, has the 
opportunity to stand out very soon (probably sooner then Charlie 
will) for those curses might be the first thing that they'll have to 
address. And I'm sure for Bill, this almost feel like something that 
he's been dealing with his whole life and will openly, and 
courageously step up to the challenge!

**Love those rebels! ;)**
