The Burrow, a place where I could go anytime, and it felt really like home. Ron's parents loved me like if I were their own, and Fred, George and Ginny loved me like a brother.
I had been here for almost a month, we still had five days until we had to leave to go to Hogwarts.
Today, Charlie, and Bill came, since their mother called them the previous night telling them they needed to come.
"This was delicious." I said finishing my breakfast.
"I know." Ron said finishing it as well.
"Children." Mrs. Weasley called. "Harry, Ron, Ginny."
Ron and I looked at each other, wondering what she wanted.
She was sat on a loveseat in the living room, and her husband was on the other loveseat.
Charlie, Bill and the twins were on a couch, and we sat on the other couch with Percy and Ginny.
"We have something really important to tell you." she said really nervous.
You could feel the tension in the room, it really must be something important to make Charlie come from Hungary.
"I don't know how to tell this but all of you have a sister…" she said looking at all her children.
"What?" Charlie, Bill, Percy and Ron asked in unison.
Fred and Ginny gasped, while George and I just stared awkwardly.
"Do we have a sister or will have a sister?" Bill asked his mum.
"You have." she answered him looking at him with sadness. "She's eleven."
Another long awkward silence followed.
I looked around, and decided to stand up and leave, this was a really important family reunion, I shouldn't had been here.
"I think I better leave…" I whispered standing up.
"No, Harry! Stay." She commanded me. I sat again. "When I said all of you have a sister, I really meant all of you, including you, Harry."
"What do you mean?" I asked her in disbelief, I didn't have a sister.
She sighed and started to sobbed, it was really difficult to her to talk about this.
"About two weeks after Ginny was born, I… had an affair with James Potter."
Everyone in the room gasped, and Mr. Weasley looked really uncomfortable.
"Two months later I found out I was pregnant and told him, we decided that it would be best if he cared for the baby since I already had seven kids and he only had one" she sobbed a bit more, and looked to the ground again. "But he was killed soon after I told him, so I had no choice but keep the baby myself."
"But I was fired from my job and your mother had no job." Mr. Weasley continued when his wife couldn't keep telling the story. "We tried everything to earn some money before the baby was born."
"She was born one month early, on April 31st, I got mad thinking about the bills and what we were going to do, so around ten hours after I gave birth, I escaped from the Hospital, and found a really nice house where I decided to left her, it was raining so bad, I rang the bell and ran away as fast as I could."
"I was angrier with your mum for doing that, than that she had cheated on me. We could have managed." Mr. Weasley said quite sad and angry. "I saved money for years, so we could find her in the future, we had been trying to find her for five years, and we finally did a week ago."
"I named her Emily Victoria." She said smiling for the first time. "James asked me to name her Emily is the baby was a girl, after his mother. He was furious at first, but then he got happy, he was going to give her his last name, b-but he died, and t-there was no proof that she was his".
"Did my mother know?" I asked her when she said nothing for awhile.
"I doubt so, they died two weeks after I told him."
"Where is she now?" the twins asked at the same time.
"She was adopted." she made a short pause to look at her husband. "By the Malfoys".
"What?" we all asked at the same time.
"It turns out I left her at Narcissa's parents house, and she, and Lucius were there and since she was a pureblood, they decided to adopt her".
"They also changed her name". Mr. Weasley interrupted his wife. "They named her Annabelle Malfoy".
"What a horrible name". Ron said. Everybody decided to ignored him.
"What does she look like?" Ginny asked.
"I don't know, I just remembered she had James's eyes. Icy blue eyes, a bit more like grey."
"At what time is she coming?" Percy asked this time.
"Anytime now." Mr. Weasley said looking at his watch.
"Why didn't you tell us?" George asked a bit hurt.
"I didn't want to hurt you". Mrs. Weasley whispered.
Then the bell rang. Everybody froze, even Ron's parents.
"I'll…" Mr. Weasley started but didn't finish his sentence and stood up to open the door.
"Good Morning Arthur". A man in his forties greeted him. "Here's your daughter".
"Thank you Carrick". Mr. weasley said before the man walked away.
Mr. Weasley came back into the room, but not alone, next to him was a girl, maybe as tall as Ginny.
"Guys, this is Emily Victoria, your sister".
I looked at her, and she really resembled the Weasleys. She had white paper skin, and red hair that went down her shoulders. Her eyes were icy blue, really different from all the Weasley, Bill, Percy, Ron and Ginny had dark blue eyes like their dad, and Charlie and the twins had green one, like their mother. Her eyes were a bit red and puffy, she obviously had been crying.
She was thin, but not too thin, she was just right. She had freckles in her cheeks and nose, like Mrs. Weasley. And there was something else, something she didn't get from the Weasleys or my dad, there was this cold look she had in her eyes, just like Draco, or Lucius.
Mr. Weasley introduced everyone pointing at each one of us, but she still just had her eyes fixed on a spot in front of her.
Dinner time had approached and some of us had had the courage to talk to our sister, some called her Emily and other Victoria, but she still hadn't said a word.
Ginny had to share her room with her now. Mrs. Weasley had already bought her a bed and a night table. Ginny had to arrange her clothes in the right half of the wardrobe since she had to share it with her, our sister now.
At dinner, she just kept staring at the food, trying to avoid our gazes. She ate nothing and as soon as dinner was finished she rushed upstairs and went straight to her bed.
The following days were really the same, Mrs. Weasley actually had to feed her, or she wouldn't have eaten.
She came along to Diagon Alley with us to buy our school supplies. She already had bought her books and new uniforms for the year. She just kept looking oddly at the used books the Weasley bought.
The day we left for Hogwarts finally came, and she hadn't said a word so far. Bill and Charlie had left two days ago. Percy and the twins were already in the train.
Mrs. Weasley kissed both Ron's cheeks and gave me a really big hug before letting us go.
Ginny had a hard time as well with Mrs. Weasley.
Mr. Weasley had already said good-bye to all of us including Emily or Victoria. I wasn't sure how to call her yet.
Mrs. Weasley gave her youngest daughter a really big hug, which she didn't respond, and kiss her cheeks, and forehead.
"I love you Emily". She said to her. "Never forget it."
Ron and I, and even Ginny had strict orders from Ron's mum to not let her alone. So we dragged her to our compartment, Ginny went somewhere else with her friends.
Hermione soon joined us and sat next to her, and looking puzzled again.
"Hi, I'm Hermione Granger". she said kindly.
"She doesn't talk". We whispered.
"Is she your cousin Ron?" she asked looking at Ron this time.
"She's our sister". Ron and I said at the same time.
Hermione said nothing, she knew very well I didn't have a sister, and Ron had told her he only had one sister, so she was really confusing.
"My mum…" Ron started.
"and my dad…"
"are her parents." We said at the same time. We felt like Fred and George for a brief moment. It was amazing how we said the same thing at the same time, I couldn't bring myself to say they had an affair, neither could Ron.
We explained everything to Hermione, everything we knew, but that her adoptive parents were Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy.
When there was anything to talk about I got lost in my thought.
I was really excited and happy I had a little sister. But I was hurt my father cheated on my mother with my best friend's mother. I always loved and respected them, but now I was having other feeling toward my father.
I had decided I was going to call her Victoria, why? I didn't know, it just suited her, I guess.
It was time she got sorted and I could bet she was going to be a Gryffindor. My father and her mother were so she had a big chance to be in Gryffindor.
Twenty students had been sorted and McGonagall hadn't called her yet. Percy, George, Fred, Ron, Ginny and I were really anxious.
"Victoria Weasley". McGonagall finally called her. She didn't move right away, like if she didn't hear, or like it wasn't her the one that was being called.
She sat on the stool for no more than twenty seconds before the hat yelled "Gryffindor". She looked a bit disappointed for a brief second before her face showed no emotions again.
Mrs. Weasley had ordered her oldest sons to make sure Victoria eats. So when she hadn't even had a single bite of dinner, Percy sat in front of her, while George sat on her right side and Fred on her left.
