"Mum?" Virginia rolled over in her bed, but the voice persisted, "Mum?" Was said a little louder, Virginia groaned and opened her eyes, seeing her daughters smiling face in her view.
"Yes P?" She asked blearily.
"We have to go do more shopping today, and open the new store." Paisley said excitedly, Virginia groaned and groggily got up.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. What time is it?" She asked, Paisley looked at her watch.
"Just after nine." She answered, Virginia nodded and got ready for the day, picking out a pair of light purpley/blue jeans and a beautiful purple shirt which was V-necked lowly. She was applying her makeup when Paisley came back in.
"Lets go get some breakfast then." Virginia stated, Paisley nodded and they went downstairs to the bar and restaurant to get their food. They came back upstairs around ten-thirty.
Virginia knew she had to tell her daughter about her past, and chose this time to do so.
"Paisley." Virginia said, Paisley looked at her questioningly, "I have to talk with you." They seated themselves on the big bed in Virginia's room.
"Shoot, Mum." Paisley said with a grin.
"Right, your gonna have to hear me out first alright?" Paisley nodded hesitantly, "Ok then, well, to start, your not muggle-born, you're a pure-blooded witch."
"What's that mean?" Paisley asked confusedly, Virginia sighed.
"It's means that you are born to parents whom are magical." She explained, "I'm a witch Paisley, your father…. was a wizard." Paisley sat there, shocked by this revelation.
"You're a witch?" She asked, Virginia nodded, "But, how?"
"I am, just trust me on that ok? I left the wizarding world after I became pregnant with you." Virginia said, Paisley frowned.
"So you are blaming my not knowing of this on me?!" The young girl exclaimed, "You knew that I would be a witch? You hid my heritage from me?!"
"Paisley-"
"No Mum! That's not fair! Just- Just leave me alone for awhile!" Paisley exclaimed, storming out of the room to think about things, she went downstairs to the restaurant and sat at a table, her head in her hands, elbows supporting her on the table. A little while later, she heard footsteps approach her.
"Are you alright?" A woman's voice asked, Paisley looked up and saw a beautiful woman who looked in her early thirties, she had curly brown hair and cinnamon brown eyes.
"Yeah, thanks, I think I'm fine." Paisley replied, the woman nodded.
"Are you on your own?" She asked, Paisley nodded slightly.
"Sorta, had an argument with my Mum, she's upstairs in our rooms right now." She explained, the woman nodded.
"Well, if your on your own, would you like to join me and my family for lunch? We have a private room at the back." The woman explained, Paisley looked thoughtful and nodded.
"Thank you, I'd like that." She replied, "I'm Paisley Summers by the way."
"Oh, nice to meet you, I'm Hermione Granger-Weasley, I'm a professor at Hogwarts." The woman introduced herself, Paisley nodded slightly.
"Oh." She followed Hermione to a room at the back and entered, there was a room full of red-heads, like her, and then only a few with non-red hair like Hermione.
"Hi all, I hope you don't mind, but Paisley was looking a bit lost so I invited her to have lunch with us." Hermione said to everyone.
"No, that's great Mione, she'll fit right in with that red hair." A handsome looking guy said, "Hi, I'm Ron Weasley." He said, standing and walking over to her, holding out a hand.
"Hi, I'm Paisley Summers." Paisley replied shyly.
"Have a seat Paisley." Hermione offered, gesturing a chair that had appeared out of no-where, she stood there shocked for a moment.
"Oh, sorry." She muttered, blushing and taking the seat, the others laughed.
"Your muggle-born then." A man with black hair stated, Paisley shook her head.
"I don't think so, my Mum said I was a pure-blood or something." She stated, "Though she only just told me so…"
"Oh, that's interesting." The same black haired man muttered, "I'm Harry Potter by the way." He held a hand across the table and Paisley shook it.
"I'm Sirius Black." The other black haired guy said, he looked a bit older than the rest.
"I'm Remus Lupin." Another old man said, he looked much older and his eyes told Paisley that he had been through a lot of pain. "I teach History of Magic at Hogwarts."
"Cool, another teacher. What did you say you taught, Hermione?" Paisley asked politely, turning to the woman.
"Oh, I teach DADA, or defense against the dark arts." Hermione added at Paisley's confused look.
"Oh." Paisley muttered.
"Don't worry, I'm a first year too, so I don't know most of the stuff that happens in the classroom." A red haired girl opposite Paisley stated, "I'm Kaci by the way. It sucks knowing your Mum's gonna teach you." She stated, pointing to Hermione, who mock glared.
"I'm not that bad a teacher!" She exclaimed, Paisley giggled.
"What do your parents do Paisley?" Another red head asked, he was further down the table, past the group of kids. "I'm Charlie by the way." Paisley nodded slightly.
"Too many people." She muttered, "Oh, my Mum's quite a famous fashion designer, we're in London to open a store so we decided to get all of my things also, so my Mum's taking a holiday." Paisley explained.
"Oh? That sounds fun." A pretty woman who sat next to a twin said, "I'm Alicia." She further explained.
"What about your Dad? What does he do?" One of the twins asked.
"Dad? Oh, I have no father." Paisley said with some force, they looked a bit shocked, "Sorry. That's half of what the argument was about." She made up, it could've been true, her father was a wizard, she hadn't known.
"Never mind." Hermione soothed, "A famous fashion designer? What's her name?"
"Virginia Summers, she owns Summers Designs, that's her fashion label." Paisley explained.
"Really?" Hermione asked with some shock, "I love that trademark! The children's recent autumn range is excellent." She commented, Paisley blushed lightly.
"Nice to know someone appreciates some of my designs." She stated, "Me, my Mum and Charlene spent ages on that lot."
"Wait a second, I recognise you!" An older girl exclaimed "You're a model on each of the runs!" Paisley nodded.
"Yeah, I normally model my Mum's work, though I do magazines and things also." Paisley explained.
"That must be fun, being a model." The girl said with envy, "Oh, I'm Lorraine by the way, I'm going into third year Gryffindor." She explained.
"Oh, Gryffindor?" She inquired, Hermione nodded.
"There are four houses, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin." The woman explained.
"Oh, what's the best house than?" Paisley asked.
"Gryffindor!" The others all exclaimed, Paisley sat shock still.
"O…K." She muttered, Remus Lupin chuckled.
"All of us are Gyffindors, or going to be in there." He explained, Paisley nodded dumbly.
"OK then." She muttered, she was about to speak when another red head came in the room. "Oh, hi Mum." Paisley said cheerfully.
Virginia stood in front of the group in silence for a moment.
"Paisley, we're leaving, go get your things." She said angrily, Paisley looked confused.
"Why? We only just got here yesterday! What about the store?" She asked.
"Paisley, please, lets just go." Virginia said, staring meaningfully at her daughter, Paisley came forward and Virginia stood in front of her, now glaring at the others, "As for you, stay away from my daughter you traitors, she doesn't need you in her life." Virginia turned to leave but was called back.
"Ginny! You can't just leave!" It was Hermione, Virginia turned and glared at her.
"I can and I will! And my names Virginia!" She shouted at the other woman. "I want you to have no part in mine or my daughters life!"
"No part? We're your family for Merlin's sake Ginny!"
"Family? HA! What bloody family will turn out an eighteen year old because they believe a DEATH EATER!" Virginia shouted, Paisley looked shocked.
"We know it wasn't you now!" Hermione exclaimed, exasperated, "We're sorry!"
"Sorry? SORRY!" Virginia shouted, "You ruined my LIFE! Paisley was all I lived for. I had NOTHING! And now, I'm a successful career woman and mother on my own! I'm fine without you! I HATE YOU!"
"You need us! Stay! If not for us, than for Paisley! She deserves to know Harry! It's obvious that he's her father!" Hermione exclaimed, Virginia looked as if she had been slapped, Harry looked completely shocked.
"Don't… you… dare… play… that… card… on… me." Virginia said threateningly through gritted teeth. "I won't stay. As far as I'm concerned, I have no family except Paisley. I had no friends before I turned nineteen. And I certainly never wanted to be cast out. As far as I'm concerned, I was raped, and my daughter is a beautiful miracle." She stated, "Let's leave Paisley." Virginia tried to usher her daughter from the room, but Harry, Ron and Hermione cast spells on the door so it wouldn't open. "Open the bloody door." Virginia muttered dangerously, glaring at them.
"Ginny! We apologised! We're sorry!" Ron exclaimed, he approached her, but she took a step back, but still made sure Paisley was behind her.
"Sorry? How can you be bloody sorry Ron?!" Virginia exclaimed, "I was abandoned! By my so called 'family' and 'fiancée'!"
"Ginny please, we're sorry." Harry begged, coming forward also, Virginia shook her head and looked down.
"Open the door, I want to leave. Don't ever try to contact me or my daughter ever again." She stated, Harry opened the door from it's lock for her and Virginia looked at them all one last time. "Let's go to get our things Paisley." Paisley watched her mother leave the room and looked back at Harry, their identical green eyes locked for a moment before Paisley looked down.
"I have no father, please just listen to my Mum, you've hurt her enough already." She whispered, with that, the red haired girl left, leaving Harry heart-broken.
