A/N: Sorry these beginning chapters are quite short, but I'm not good at writing long chapters. Will try to write longer chapters in the future.
Chapter 3 - Relief
Abby POV
I was lying on a bed in one of the many guestrooms, which would eventually be turned into my room. I thought about how well everything had gone today.
~flashback~
"Hi my name is Abby, I think I might be your daughter" I told her. She gasped as if in realisation of something.
She then walked over to me, looked at me and then said "You look just like your brother, I knew you weren't dead."
A sigh of relief crossed my face and we hugged each other for what seamed like 10 minutes. I had imagined this to be more difficult, the convincing her part and the acceptance part, but they both just flowed easily.
"Where are the others?" I asked when we were finished hugging.
"They are away at School and won't be back until about 3 week's time." She told me plainly.
"So is my dad still at work then?" I asked wanting to at least meet one other member of my real family.
"Technically yes, but he'll also be back with your brothers and sister." I was confused and was about to open my mouth, when she started to explain. "He is a teacher at their school. Wow we have so much to talk about, about what you have been doing and about us and so many other little details, like what your favourite meal is, and we need to get you a room and everything. So much to do and so little time!"She started to ramble on at me, her eyes now alight when moments ago the look so tired. I guessed I looked more like my father, as I green eyes and hers were a lovely brown, and my hair was jet black whereas hers was a fiery ginger.
She led me up a large staircase pointing out some of the rooms we passed "And this is one of our guest rooms but we can go and buy some personal things for you to put in and we can make it yours, if you want?" She tagged on the question at the end as though I might not want to stay for long.
"That would be great, I love shopping!" I told her giving her the message that I did want to stay.
Ginny POV
I was lying on my bed which always felt empty during term times. I had just finished reading the letter from Harry. It was filled with love and longing and the latest scandals being pulled at Hogwarts, just like always. It was always surprising how nothing changes much, Peeves is still the same, playing pranks on all of the students and causing havoc for the professors, the students are still using the same excuses and getting into the usual trouble, some of the professors are still the same ones who taught us when we went there as kids. It had made me laugh and relax after such a long and stressful day.
First of all the Aurrors were sent to deal with a troublesome small time criminal. It took us all day to catch him, though it wasn't like we had much else to do.
Then when I had gotten home, the daughter whom I had always thought as dead had turned up on my doorstep. I knew it was her straight away, just by the name she gave and her facial features, so much like her brothers.
It was quite a relief actually to find out that she was alive because even though I had been told she had died and had always thought of her in that way, I had always had that feeling that she was still alive living out her life somewhere.
