Changes: Septimus Weasley

Revision as of 04:44, 24 June 2010

Septimus Weasley was a pure-blood wizard who married Cedrella Black. Considered to be a blood traitor by the Black family, their marriage caused Cedrella's removal from the Black Family tree^[1]. The couple had three sons, including Arthur Weasley^[2].

It is possible that Septimus was sorted in Gryffindor house, as Ron Weasley, his grandson, stated that all his family was sorted into Gryffindor.
Septimus is a Roman name meaning "seventh" in Latin.^[3] This is interesting, considering that seven is the most magically powerful number, and that Septimus Weasley's son Arthur went on to have seven children.
Bilius may be another of Septimus and Cedrella's sons; this cannot be confirmed, however, as it is only known that he was the uncle of Ron Weasley and his siblings, not whether he was born, as he is not married to, a Weasley or a Prewett.

↑ Black Family tree
↑ Although it has never been confirmed that Septimus and Cedrella are Arthur's parents, this can be inferred based on Sirius Black's statement in Ch. 6 of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix that Arthur was "something like [his] second cousin once removed." The Black family tree establishes Cedrella as a first cousin once removed of both Orion and Walburga Black, Sirius's parents. Thus, any children she had would be their second cousins, and second cousins once removed of their sons Sirius and Regulus. Also, almost all of Sirius's relatives can be seen on the Black family tree because both his parents were born into the House of Black, making it unlikely that he could be related to Arthur in a way not shown. See also this talk page and an HPL essay for more information.
