Chapter 7
"What are you talking about Avery"? Mrs. Weasley asked nervously. She glanced at Lupin.
"Did you just have one of your visions"? Avery heard Harry ask.
"Yes I did and you would never believe what it was about". Avery answered without taking her eyes off Mrs. Weasley and Lupin. "Is it true that Lupin is my father"? Avery asked looking at the ground now. She could not bring herself to look at Lupin. She heard everyone at the table gasp. Avery heard Harry ask Lupin. "Why didn't you tell us you had a daughter?"
"Yah!" Sirius jumped in. "Didn't you think that we had a right to know?" Fred, Hermione, Ginny and Ron didn't say anything. They just looked at Avery who looked like she was about to faint. "Was that what your vision was about?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Yes but I couldn't see who was telling me. It was kind of blurry." Avery answered glancing at Fred. He caught her looking at him and knew that it was him who had told her. He gave her a pleading look indicating to please not tell his mother who had told her. She nodded slightly. He looked relieved. Mrs. Weasley then looked right at Avery and said in a high voice "Yes Lupin is your father and he does know. He was planning on telling you tonight after supper. So why don't you two go outside to the garden and talk, while the rest of us clean up."
She started picking up plates and then glared at the rest of the kids and Sirius. They immediately jumped up and started helping. Avery was still looking at her feet when she felt someone touch her arm. She looked up and saw Lupin smiling down at her. "Come on, he said gently. Let's go outside." Avery followed him out to the garden. They sat on the rocks by the stream.
Avery looked at Lupin and asked "Why did you send me to live with Cordelia and her family. Why didn't you come look for me? Who is my mother?"
"Well I guess I better start from the beginning and explain it all to you." Lupin sighed. "You know who Harry's parents are right?" Lupin asked Avery.
"Yes they were James and Lily Potter, James and Cordelia's dad were first cousins. Then James and Lily died and Harry was sent to live with the Dursley's." Avery answered.
"Yes, well do you know why Harry's parents died and who killed them?" Lupin asked gently.
"No all Harry said was that they died." Avery answered.
"Well you have heard of Voldemort haven't you?"
"Yes," Avery replied, "how could I have not. He was the one who ordered the attack on Cordelia's parents." Avery said bitterly.
"Well 16 years ago on Halloween, Voldemort came to the Potters and killed them. He was after Harry though no one knows why except for Harry and Dumbledore, and Sirius. I would advise you not to ask Harry about it either because it is a very emotional thing for him to talk about. Anyway the night that they were killed I wanted to go to them but your mother wouldn't let me. We had a huge argument about whether or not I should go to Lily and James's. Anyway I left and went to Godric's Hollow. When I returned later that night I found that your mother had left and taken you with her. I searched for both of you but it was as if you had disappeared into thin air. Finally I found you but you were living with Cordelia and her family. With the help of Dumbledore I managed to talk to Cordelia's dad. He told me that the night James and Lily had died, and your mother had felt it would be dangerous for her and you to stay in England because of me. She knew that James's cousin was leaving for America with his family. James's cousin was Cordelia's dad Chris. Your mother tried to take you to their house but on the way a Deatheater attacked the both of you. The attack was right outside Olivia and Chris's house. They heard the battle and ran outside. They found the Deatheater attempting to curse you but the curses could not get through the shield that your mom had put around you. It was only a temporary shield though. Olivia and Chris managed to kill the Deatheater. They took you into their home and brought you to America with them." Lupin said.
Avery looked up and him. He looked old and weary. "Why didn't you come for me if you knew where I was?" Avery demanded. Lupin sighed. "You were only four when I finally found you and I wanted more than anything to take you away. But you were so happy living with the Potters and it was still to dangerous to bring you back to England, so I left you. I received monthly letters from Chris about how you were doing. Finally when you were ten I thought that I could maybe take you back to England with me, but you had just got your letter to attend Traton's Witching School in America. You were finally going to be a real witch and you were so excited about that. I didn't think that you needed to know that you had a father who unfortunately is a werewolf. You see Werewolves are not the best things to have as a father and I can only imagine what your classmates would have thought of you. I wanted you to live a happy life and not have to worry about anything. When Chris wrote to me saying that they were moving back to England I was overjoyed. I would finally be able to talk to you and tell you that I was your father. I planned to have Chris and Olivia here when I told you but..." His voice trailed off.
Lupin looked over at Avery. She was staring down at the ground. Tears were falling on the ground below. "I am sorry that you lost Chris and Olivia; I know that you loved them and thought of them as your real parents but I hope you can let me also be a father to you." Lupin said quietly.
Avery looked up at Lupin. She was smiling "Well at least I have a father again." She reached over and hugged Lupin. He sat there for a moment then reached around her and hugged her back. After a couple of minutes Avery pulled away and looked at Lupin.
"Um..dad... can I call you that?" Avery asked hesitantly.
Lupin beamed. "I would be honored if you would call me that."
"Well dad you never told me who my mom was." Avery said. Lupin's smiled and said "Your mom's name was Elizabeth Malone. She was one of Lily's best friends and when James started hanging out with Lily and her friends I met Elizabeth. She was an extremely smart witch. Her specialties were Divination and Astronomy. Your seer gift comes from her. She was extremely pretty. You get your eyes and hair from her and your personality and love for playing pranks on people come from me. She would have loved you." Lupin said with a wistful look on his face. "Well we should probably go back in right now." Lupin glanced at his watch. "My goodness!" Lupin exclaimed, "we've been out here for an hour. You had better get back to bed if you expect to be going to Diagon Alley tomorrow." Lupin said with a smile.
Avery groaned, "I said I would call you dad but I never said you could act like a dad, except for when it comes to loving me, and spoiling me." Avery said with a grin. She stood up. Lupin stood up alongside her. He smiled down at her. "Well unfortunately you also have to listen to my complaining about bed times." Avery smiled and threw her arms around him, then they walked back to the house.
Sirius , Molly, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Fred, George, Cordelia, and Hermione were all sitting in the living room. Sirius and Molly were sitting on two of the chairs talking while Harry and Ron were lying on the ground playing Wizarding chess. Ginny, Hermione, and Cordelia were sitting on two of the couches reading. Fred and George were working on more Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes in the corner. They all looked up when they heard Lupin and Avery come in.
When they saw the smiles on Lupin and Avery's faces, Mrs. Weasley said "Well I guess that has all been sorted out then. In that case Sirius and Lupin, you two had better be getting back to Hogwarts. I'm sure Dumbledore will want to see you. And you lot had best be getting off to bed. You have a busy day ahead of you. You'll need your rest. Then she turned and frowned at the clock that hung on the wall. I wonder what could be keeping Arthur." His clock hand was currently pointing towards work.
Just then his hand jumped to traveling and then landed on home. At them same time the flames in the fire turned emerald green, and Albus Dumbledore fell out of the fireplace. He looked at them with a huge smile on his face. "You will never believe who the Ministry of Magic has announced will be the new Minister of Magic," he said. He pointed towards the fireplace. They all looked at the fire which had turned emerald green. All of sudden Arthur Weasley fell out of the fireplace. He straightened up and dusted himself off. Dumbledore bowed towards him and then looked at Mrs. Weasley and the rest of them. His blue eyes were twinkling. "Your new Minister of Magic is Arthur Weasley!"
Avery, Harry, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, Hermione, Cordelia, Sirius, Lupin, and Mrs. Weasley stood there for a moment letting it sink in. The first ones to react were Fred and George. They let out two loud screeches and leaped at their father closely followed by the rest of the kids. Mrs. Weasley, Lupin, and Sirius stood there and watched as the kids congratulated Mr. Weasley.
Finally Mrs. Weasley clapped her hands loudly and yelled above the calls of congratulations and slaps on the back. "It's time for the kids to go to bed now seeing as how they have a big day tomorrow. So we'll celebrate tomorrow night. Right now you kids have to go to bed." "We're not kid's mom," Fred and George protested loudly. They stopped when Mrs. Weasley turned and glared at them. They turned and followed the rest of the kids upstairs.
Mr. Weasley sighed and sat down in his chair by the fireplace. Mrs. Weasley, Sirius, Lupin and Dumbledore all took seats around the room. Mr. Weasley had a dazed look on his face. "I can't believe it, I just can't believe it." he muttered under his breath. "Was that what the important announcement was about tonight.?" Mrs. Weasley said. She also had a dazed look on her face. "I can't believe this is happening." Sirius and Lupin couldn't stop grinning. "Congratulations Arthur," Sirius said happily. "Finally we have a proper minister. What will your first course of action be?" Lupin asked eagerly. Arthur just started at him in shock.
Finally after half and hour of trying to talk to Mr. Weasley Sirius, Lupin and Dumbledore gave up. Arthur was too shocked to get a full sentence out. Sirius, Lupin, and Dumbledore flooed back to Hogwarts after Sirius and Lupin promised Mrs. Weasley that they would be there at around 8:00 the next day with Tonks to take the kids to Diagon Alley. With that said they left.
A little while later Mr. and Mrs. Weasley also went up to bed. Mr. Weasley was having a little trouble walking up the stairs. It was partially because he was still in shock and partially due to the fact he might have had a little two much firewhiskey at the little celebration after the announcement. He finally made it up the stairs.
