Growing up in the Burrow, he and his brother, Charlie would play Quidditch in the garden. He dreamed of being on the Gryffindor Quidditch Team, but decided that he was much too excited to explore the Cursed Vaults at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which had been reported on by the Daily Prophet, exciting the Weasley children.

Before leaving for Hogwarts, he and his parents visited Ollivanders for a wand, where he was suited with Beech wood and a Unicorn Tail Hair core.

Hogwarts Years (1982 - 1989)
In Bill's first year at Hogwarts, he was sorted into Gryffindor house. In his fellow first year class were members of the Weird Sisters, including Kirley Duke and Myron Wagtail. Bill immediately proved his worth at the school, exceeding in Defence Against the Dark Arts especially.

Even after being infatuated with the subject of the Cursed Vaults, he did not hear any news about them until his third year, when the sibling of the person who opened them last had tried once again to open them once more. This year, he made use of a time-turner to get through all of his electives (Arithmancy, Care for Magical Creatures, Divination, Muggle Studies, and Study of Ancient Runes).

During his fourth year, he was asked for help in investigating the Cursed Vaults, which he happily obliged. Bill taught his fellow students the Fire-Making spell, which made Professor McGonagall furious, and thought the would not be made a prefect the following year. Despite his worries, however, he was made a prefect in his fifth year, and later made Head Boy in his seventh.

Later Life (1989 - ?)
After graduating from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Bill was hired by Gringotts Wizarding Bank as a Curse-Breaker, which was his lifelong aspiration. He would later send a message to Albus Dumbledore expressing his concerns at the well-being of his brothers under the tutelage of Patricia Rakepick.

In 1989, Bill was sent on assignment in Egypt, where he battled a mummy and successfully turned it to dust. In 1993, his family won a giveaway from the Daily Prophet, which they spent on a vacation to Egypt to visit Bill, where he took them on tours through the ancient Egyptian tombs.

In 1994, Bill returned to the Burrow to go with his family to the Quidditch World Cup. After which, an attack took place, which Bill helped resolve with his brothers (Charlie and Percy), father, and the Ministry of Magic. In 1995, Bill took time off from work to witness the Triwizard Tournament, where he first met Fleur Delacour, whom he fell in love with at first sight.

The Second Wizarding War
Bill joined the Order of the Phoenix with his family, where he learned to conjure a patronus. His only goal at the time was to take a stand against Voldemort's uprising. To help him do so, he applied for a desk job at Gringotts Wizarding Bank in England, giving him closer proximity to the headquarters. He was often involved in plans for the Order. He visited his father at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries when he was attacked by Nagini when guarding the Prophecy in the Department of Mysteries.

In 1996, with the confirmed appearance of Voldemort in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Bill asked Fleur Delacour to marry him. Fleur's blunt nature, however, did not bode well for first impressions with Ginny or his mother. His mother did not approve of this engagement, hinting that he could do better.

In June of 1997, Bill was ordered to patrol the corridors when Dumbledore and Harry Potter were out of the castle securing a Horcrux. Rather conveniently, Draco Malfoy's plan to help Death Eaters break into the school. Inadvertently, Draco also let Fenrir Greyback loose among the castle, who, while not being a full moon, maimed Bill. Although Greyback was not transformed at the time, Bill still had werewolf-like tendencies during the full moon. Despite his malformed appearance, Fleur was insistent on marrying him, much to the delight of Bill's mother, who finally accepted their marriage.

In July, Bill was one of the members of the Order who took on the task of transporting Harry to the Burrow. He and his soon-to-be wife, Fleur, took the Polyjuice Potion to take Harry's form and flew north on a thestral to throw off any Death Eaters following them. He and Fleur witnessed the death of Mad-Eye Moody.

Bill and Fleur Delacour were wed on August 1st, 1997, with Charlie as his best man, and Gabrielle and Ginny Weasley as bridesmaids. After the wedding ceremony, Kingsley Shacklebolt's Patronus appeared, announcing that the Ministry of Magic had fallen, and Death Eaters managed to break through the protective charms placed on the Burrow. Bill continued to work, and bought Shell Cottage with Fleur, which would later become a safe-haven for many victims of the Second Wizarding War.

Bill and his wife, Fleur apparated to the Hog's Head, where they took the secret tunnel to the castle to begin fighting. Bill celebrated their victory, which was spoiled by the courageous death of his brother, Fred.

A Family of His Own

Two years after, his second daughter, Dominique, and two years after that, his son, Louis. Bill perhaps had the best relationship with his only son, initially because he resembled him much more than his mother.
