CHAPTER 19 - Cecily returns, but not alone
The next two days passed and Professor Dumbledore waited anxiously for his niece's arrival.
He was sitting in his office just after lunch when he heard someone coming up the steps to his office. He then heard her.
"Uncle Albus! Uncle Albus!"
Cecily came running at him and threw her arms around her Uncle. He squeezed her tightly and his face began to hurt from smiling.
He pulled back and said, "Let me look at you dear."
Dumbledore looked over his niece. She looked the same, but not quite the same. She had matured a lot since he had last seen her. Her hair was shorter now and she had aged according to the three years she was gone, but it was something else. There was something in her eyes that showed she had matured a great deal in her absence.
"Cecily, what happened?" he asked.
"Nothing gets by you Uncle. Well, I went to Italy. You had told me Italy was one of the places that would probably be safest from any supporters or followers of Voldemort. You were right, as always. I simply took on the alias of Edith Smith and I had no problems."
"Edith?" her Uncle asked.
Cecily chuckled. "Well, I figured it was a name that wouldn't arise any suspicions."
"Good choice" her Uncle said.
Just then they heard Professor McGonnagal yell up the stairs. "Cecily, you must come now. He's not very happy staying down here with me."
Her Uncle looked at her with a quizzical look and said simply, "He?"
Cecily let out a nervous sigh and said, "There's someone I want you to meet."
She left and went down the stairs. When she came back up she had a small hand in hers but he didn't see whom it belonged to as they were hiding behind her as she walked.
She was talking and saying, "Now stop it, this is your Uncle. I told you all about him, remember?" Dumbledore then said, "I won't hurt you child, let me look at you."
Just then a small boy emerged from behind Cecily. It felt as if he were looking at a tiny version of George Weasley.
"Cecily!" he exclaimed.
"Uncle, I have so much to tell you. First though, this is Peter. Peter, this is your Uncle Albus."
The small boy walked slowly up to the older man and shyly put his hand out. Dumbledore shook the small hand and said, "It's wonderful to meet you Peter."
The small boy smiled and then went back to his mother's side.
"Let's go and sit down shall we?" he said.
They all went and sat down on a couch that was in a room adjoined to his office.
"Before you start Cecily" Albus said, "what is Peter's last name?"
"Weasley" she said.
"Begin" is all her Uncle said.
Cecily told her Uncle that she went to Italy as she had stated before. A few weeks after being there, she discovered she was pregnant. The last day her and George spent together, George didn't just give her memories to hold onto. She immediately started penning letters to George and to her Uncle to tell them of her pregnancy. She then remembered she couldn't have any contact with them. She was going to have to go through it alone and she did. She had taken classes to learn Italian and eventually found a secretarial type job. When she gave birth she decided to give her son the names of two of the greatest men she knew, her husband and her father. She had named him Peter George Weasley. After she filled out the birth certificate she was worried due to having put the name Weasley on it. She said she felt as if someone was looking over her though, as she never had any problems from it. She told Peter all about her family, her Uncle Albus and his father George. She even showed him pictures of George that she had from that last day they spent together. She told her Uncle she would never deny Peter his father. She knew what it was like to be without her father and she told Peter once it was possible, she would take him to meet his father.
"I'm very glad to hear you say that Cecily" her Uncle said.
Cecily looked at Peter and then back at her Uncle. "How is he? Have you seen him?"
"He was here just two days ago looking for your whereabouts."
Cecily smiled and said softly, "He hasn't forgotten me."
"Of course he hasn't. That boy loves you eternally."
She looked at her Uncle and said, "And I him."
"When do you plan on going to him?" her Uncle asked.
She said, "As soon as you tell me where I can find him."
It was within the hour that she found herself and Peter standing in a village called Hogsmeade outside of a shop with a large sign hanging overhead that said, "Weasleys Wizard Wheezes".
She felt her hand being tugged and she looked down at her son.
"What's wrong Mommy?" he asked.
"I'm scared," she said.
"Why?"
"Your father is in there."
Peter's eyes became the widest she had ever seen them. "Daddy?!!!" he yelled and then ran into the shop.
