Prologue.

She finally returned to England after a year of refuge in Sweden, she had magically bleached her hair and changed her eye colour from drab hazel into stunning, attention grabbing emerald green. The war had been hell for her and her family, one brother dead, one missing an ear, one a half werewolf. She just couldn't stay after it was over she needed some time to herself. It had been 9 months since the war, since the accident, she looked at her now bulging stomach. Would her family welcome her back with open arms? Or shun her for what now grew inside her? She wasn't sure of the answer really; she just knew she needed to go home now. She carefully apperated onto her childhood homes front lawn, quickly using a spell she had learned to check the monsters heartbeat. She may have never wanted it but it was part of her. She moved towards the door slowly unsure if she still wanted to test her parents acceptance. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door, her head down and her hands on her belly. She listened to rushed feet scurry towards the door, she knew her mother's footsteps and soon the door was thrown open. "Can I help you deary?" her mother asked, her voice sounded tired and old. She didn't dare look up for fear of breaking down.

"I'm sorry mother" was all she replied with.

"I don't know what you're playing at young lady but my daughter died 9 months ago and your just opening freshly healed wounds with your little game" her mother scolded her angrily. She looked up finally, muttering a counter spell to return her eyes to hazel and her hair to bright cherry red. Molly clamped her hand over her mouth "Ginny?" Her eyes filled with tears that had gone unshed for months now. Molly clamped her arms around her youngest child and held on for dear life making up for the months of not being able to comfort her after the war. Molly suddenly became fully aware of the ever present baby bump forming on her daughters' torso, she put her hands on her belly and smiled sadly. "How long?" she asked. Ginny chocked a sob, and shook her head not knowing exactly how far along she was she just knew she was pregnant. Molly lead her sobbing daughter into the house where friends and family had been convinced she had passed on and had never been found.
