======Fabian Prewett======
=====Introduction=====
Fabian Prewett was a pure-blood [[wizard]], the brother of [[Gideon Prewett]] and [[Molly Weasley]], and a member of the original [[Order of the Phoenix]] during the [[First Wizarding War]]. Remembered as a heroic and formidable fighter, Fabian was murdered by [[Death Eaters]] alongside his brother. His death had a profound and lasting impact on his sister Molly, and his memory is honored through the legacy he left behind, most notably his gold [[watch]], which was passed on to [[Harry Potter]].
=====Biography=====
Fabian was born into the Prewett family, a respected [[wizarding family]] and one of the "Sacred Twenty-Eight" (Pottermore). He was the brother of [[Gideon Prewett]] and [[Molly Prewett]], who later married [[Arthur Weasley]].
During the first rise of [[Lord Voldemort]], Fabian and his brother Gideon joined the [[Order of the Phoenix]], an organization founded by [[Albus Dumbledore]] to oppose the [[Dark Lord]] and his followers. They were considered among the best fighters in the Order.
In a tragic event during the [[First Wizarding War]], Fabian and Gideon were ambushed and killed by a group of five [[Death Eaters]]. [[Alastor Moody]] later recounted the event to [[Harry Potter]], stating that the brothers "fought like heroes." The only named attacker confirmed in the confrontation was [[Antonin Dolohov]]. The loss of her brothers was a devastating blow to [[Molly Weasley]] and remained a source of deep grief for the rest of her life.
=====Physical Appearance and Personality=====
Fabian's physical appearance is only described from a magical photograph of the original [[Order of the Phoenix]] shown to Harry by [[Alastor Moody]]. In the picture, he and his brother [[Gideon Prewett]] are identical, both possessing fiery red hair, a trait they shared with their sister Molly and her children. They are seen grinning broadly, suggesting a cheerful and good-natured disposition.
His personality is primarily defined by his immense courage. [[Alastor Moody]]'s description of his final battle, where he and his brother fought ferociously against five [[Death Eaters]], establishes him as an exceptionally brave and resilient [[wizard]]. His willingness to join the [[Order of the Phoenix]] and fight against [[Voldemort]] demonstrates a strong moral character and a commitment to protecting the [[wizarding world]].
=====Magical Abilities and Skills=====
While specific spells cast by Fabian are unknown, his magical prowess was evidently exceptional.
  * **Dueling:** Fabian was a highly skilled duelist. Both he and his brother were regarded by [[Alastor Moody]] as being worth five [[Death Eaters]] in a fight. Their ability to hold their own against such overwhelming odds, even in death, speaks volumes about their power and skill in [[magical combat]].
  * **General Magical Skill:** [[Alastor Moody]] lamented their deaths by saying they were "the best wizards of the age," placing them in high esteem alongside other powerful members of the original [[Order of the Phoenix]].
=====Possessions=====
  * **[[Fabian Prewett's Watch]]:** Fabian's most significant known possession was a battered gold [[watch]]. It did not have traditional hands but instead showed tiny, moving planets or stars. After his death, the [[watch]] was kept by his sister, [[Molly Weasley]]. On [[Harry Potter]]'s seventeenth birthday, Molly gave him the [[watch]], following the wizarding tradition of giving a young [[wizard]] a [[watch]] upon coming of age. The gift was deeply sentimental, as Molly tearfully explained that Fabian didn't have a son to pass it on to, and she considered Harry as good as a son. The [[watch]] became a cherished possession for Harry, symbolizing his acceptance into the [[Weasley]] family and serving as a memento of a fallen hero.
=====Relationships=====
  * **[[Gideon Prewett]] (Brother):** Fabian was extremely close with his brother, Gideon. They joined the [[Order of the Phoenix]] together and ultimately died fighting side-by-side, and are almost always spoken of as a pair.
  * **[[Molly Weasley]] (Sister):** Fabian was the older brother of Molly. His death, along with Gideon's, caused her immense and enduring pain. The trauma of their loss likely contributed to her [[boggart]] taking the form of her dead family members. She held her brothers' memories in the highest regard.
  * **[[Weasley]] Family (Nephews and Niece):** He was the maternal uncle of [[Bill Weasley]], [[Charlie Weasley]], [[Percy Weasley]], [[Fred Weasley]], [[George Weasley]], [[Ron Weasley]], and [[Ginny Weasley]]. It is unlikely any of them, aside from perhaps Bill and Charlie, had any memory of him.
  * **[[Order of the Phoenix]]:** As a member, he was a trusted comrade to figures like [[Albus Dumbledore]], [[Alastor Moody]], and the other original members. He is remembered by them as a hero.
  * **[[Antonin Dolohov]] (Murderer):** [[Antonin Dolohov]] was one of the five [[Death Eaters]] responsible for Fabian's murder.
=====Etymology=====
  * The name **Fabian** is of Latin origin, derived from the Roman clan name "Fabianus," which means "bean-grower." It is also the name of Saint Fabian, an early Christian pope who was martyred for his faith. This connection to martyrdom fittingly reflects Fabian's death while fighting against [[Voldemort]].
  * The surname **Prewett** is likely of Welsh origin. It could be a variant of "Pruett" or derived from "ap Rhydderch," meaning "son of Rhydderch." The name Rhydderch itself means "reddish-brown," which could be an allusion to the family's characteristic red hair.
=====Behind the Scenes=====
  * In the film adaptation of //[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]//, Fabian Prewett appears briefly in the photograph of the original [[Order of the Phoenix]]. He and his brother Gideon were both portrayed by actor Richard Leaf (film).
  * On the Pottermore website, the Prewett family is listed as one of the "Sacred Twenty-Eight," a list of supposedly pure-blood families from the 1930s. However, [[Arthur Weasley]] commented that the Prewetts, like the Potters, had [[Muggle]] ancestors in their family tree (Pottermore).
