Chapter 8

When Mrs Weasley came to the door Kate introduced herself. "Hello Mrs Weasley, my name is Kate Winslum, I've read about you and your family in a muggle book and I just wanted to meet you. I'm staying with Draco Malfoy and his family.

"So you're a muggle?" Mrs Weasley asked

"I think so, I mean I was adopted and I can do magic, but, oh I don't know" Kate said

"Oh my, you are a witch, you're my little Ginny" Mrs Weasley said, teary eyed.

"Ginny! Virginia Analese Weasley, I've always wanted to be her, but you couldn't be my mother, my parents died in a car crash." Kate said sadly

"Tell me Kate, your hair changed from red to blonde when you were 7 and your eyes changed from brown to blue at the same time didn't they?" Mrs Weasley said

"Well, yes that did happen." Kate said

"Kate, what's taking you so long?" Draco called as he flew down to see her.

"Oh I'm just having a chat. Mrs Weasley, as you probably know this is Draco Malfoy, Draco this is Mrs Weasley." Kate said happily

"Oh Mrs Weasley you've burnt your hand, here let me help" Kate said as she placed her hands over the burn. Kate closed her eyes and they were surrounded by white light. Then all of a sudden it was gone. "That's better isn't it?"

"Oh my Ginny," Mrs Weasley said hugging Kate, "If you don't believe me here's your adoption certificate."

"Oh my god, mum, I found my mum. YAY!" Ginny exclaimed jumping for joy

"Um Ginny, what am I going to do when my dad finds out I fell in love with a Weasley?" Draco asked scared

"Hang on, Mum do you have enough room for me here?" Ginny asked

"Of course we do, we still have your old room even though it will need re- decorating." Mrs Weasley said

"Ok thanks, Accio my stuff." Ginny said holding her hand above her head. All her stuff appeared at her feet

"You do magic without a wand?" Harry squeaked

"Yup, I thought every one could?" Ginny asked "No dear, only very strong witches and wizards do magic without wands, the only two apart from you are You-Know-Who and Dumbledore." Mrs Weasley said, "Now let's go inside."

"Can I meet everyone now?" Ginny asked excitedly

"Sure I'll go get them" Mrs Weasley said

"So Harry, what's it like being the famous Harry Potter, having girls fall all over you?" Ginny asked

"It's annoying, especially when the girl you love doesn't know you exist." Harry said sadly

"Cho Chang was strange but she was in love with Cedric Digorry until that episode with the trophy and Voldemort and everything." Ginny said. "It's alright you'll find someone else, I promise." She finished giving him a big hug

"Thanks Ginny I really needed that," Harry said "s'ok and if you want I could probably cast a spell to get rid of all the girls except the ones you like as well as keeping Voldemort away." Ginny said

"Thanks but no thanks, what you can do is give me another hug," Harry said smiling

"Alright, but that's all" Ginny said sternly "Okay, Okay," Harry laughed, "tell me about it later okay," he added quietly

"Okay," Ginny whispered crying slightly into his shoulder

This was how Draco found them.
