Prewett brother or brother-in-law [3] Mrs. Muriel : " [ Merlin's beard, what is Xenophilius Lovegood wearing? He looks like an omelette Isn't Harry Potter here? I was hoping to meet him. I thought he was a friend of yours, Ronald, or have you merely been boasting?
Made an excuse, did he? Not as gormless as he looks in press photographs, then. Ron Weasley : " Wow. You look great! I just met her upstairs while she was giving Fleur the tiara. You breed like gnomes. The Harry Potter Compendium has 0 images related to Muriel. Her birthday could have been, at the earliest, July 31st - any earlier would make her older than - and August 2nd, - any later would make her younger than This means that she was born betwen July 31st, and August 2nd, However, Muriel may have married an uncle of Molly's.
If this is the case, then Muriel is no blood relation of Molly or her family and could, conceivably, be a half-blood or a pure-blood. Then you may come back for me and escort me to the table. Unlike your daughter, I am not a child, and am capable of selecting my own food. He carefully picked up Lily, disentangling her hand from the brooch. Harry appeared startled and looked down at his daughter. His gaze softened. Most of the time, they just tried to stay clear of her. Yet Lily gravitated toward her.
Oh, she adored her grandmother and grandfather, but she always ended up on Aunt Muriel's knee at some stage of any gathering. Muriel always liked to wear a new piece of jewellery for Lily.
The child developed a good eye over time. Muriel liked to tell her the story behind each piece she wore, and Lily always listened attentively. She loved to hear stories about her family, and of a time long gone. When all witches and wizards wore cloaks, and good witches married the men their father decided was appropriate. She learned about her grandmother's brothers, Gideon and Fabian. She loved to hear stories about when her own mother was little. Five years later and again, the family were at the Burrow.
It was Great Aunt Muriel's birthday, although no-one knew how old she really was. She shivered, despite the afternoon sunshine. She declined a piece of birthday cake, unable to eat any food too rich.
She held her hand to her heart as George and Ronald accidentally set off some of the fireworks they were preparing in honour of her day. My heart can't take such shocks, you know," she scolded. I'm sure you'll love them. I dare say you may fill the night sky with them when I'm gone, but I really don't care for loud noises and silly lights in the sky, George. Where are you going? Molly always was over generous when it came to food.
Lily stared at her in horror. I don't want you to die. I love you," she cried, flinging herself into Muriel's arms. Muriel stared in surprise at the young girl. She had grown quite fond of Lily.
She patted her awkwardly on the back. He smiled in sympathy at Muriel. Why, death is but the next great adventure," said Muriel. Muriel patted her back. Muriel nodded and it seemed to ease Lily's mind.
Muriel held on for another two years. Her health deteriorated rapidly in the last three months. Molly and Ginny visited often. Muriel seemed to spark up a bit when Lily came too, and she would rally to share another tale with her. One morning Lily came downstairs to find her dad holding her mum as she cried. She came over to her daughter and brushed her hair behind her ear. Lily burst out crying. Ginny cried for her, too. Harry came over to them, and held them both, sad for their loss.
Lily sat between them both for the funeral. She listened to the minister relate stories from Aunt Muriel's life, the same ones Aunt Muriel had told her. He droned on and on. There were a lot of older people there. Lily saw her Uncle Neville with his Gran. She too, was in declining health. No-one moved. Without even thinking about it Lily stood up and went to the front. She tried not to look at the casket.
She didn't want to think about Aunt Muriel in there. Aunt Muriel was an amazing lady. She told me lots of stories about my family and a lot about the days of the old wizarding world.
I loved to listen to her. She showed me all her pretty brooches that she got from her own mum. I loved her and I will miss her lots. She stopped to hug her grandmother, then went back to sit with her parents. We're very proud of you, and so would Aunt Muriel," said Ginny. You were very special to Aunt Muriel, and she loved your talks and your visits," said Ginny, stroking her daughter's fiery copper hair. I wish I could have said goodbye," said Lily. She's at rest now, darling.
She'd left Molly some cash and personal family photos. Ginny received her aunts tiara; quite a valuable item. The surprise was an inheritence for Lily. She inherited most of Aunt Muriel's jewellery. Each niece was to receive one specially selected piece, but the rest was Lily's. He held out his hand, indicating the meeting was over. Time went on. Lily got older and kept Aunt Muriel in her memories.
She always wore one of her aunts brooches if she had to accompany her parents to the many Ministry functions they had to attend, or to any special ocassion. Muriel was a loud, ill-mannered, and extremely rude woman who seemed to find fault with everything and everyone.
When she insulted Hermione Granger in , Ron urged her not to take it personally, since Muriel was rude to everybody. Among her other insulting remarks were that Xenophilius Lovegood looked "like an omelette" in his yellow robes, that Ron's long hair made him nearly indistinguishable from his sister, that George's ears were "lopsided" after his right ear had been magically cut off, and that Ginny 's dress was "far too low cut.
Muriel enjoyed gossip and was a fan of Rita Skeeter , stating that she "always" read Rita's work, and that she was eager to pre-order a copy of her book The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore. Despite her rude behaviour, Muriel did have a soft side, as she lent her goblin-forged tiara to Fleur for her wedding with Bill and, more importantly, when the Weasley family was in danger of being arrested by Death Eaters, allowed them to hide in her home.
Muriel was not fond of her great- niece 's family, the Weasleys , but nonetheless opened her home to them when they were in danger. She came to the Burrow for dinner every Christmas until Fred and George set off a Dungbomb under her chair.
She likely wrote them both out of her will for this stunt. She also disapproved of her great-great niece's dress at the wedding, thinking it was inappropriate.
It was brought to England from Brittany by the Normans. In the modern era, it was popularised by a character from Dinah Craik's novel, John Halifax, Gentleman It is also of Gaelic origin.
