Prologue: One for my baby.

 "Mum! Have you seen my wand?" Danielle Winters voice rang out through their house in london. Her mother, Katie Winters, poked her head into her daughter's bedroom.
"Come on D! You can't have lost it... you're leaving for Hogwarts tomorrow!"
"I know, mum... Ugh, guess I better unpack my whole trunk and find it..." she whined knowing her mum would probably do it for her.
"Guess you better..." Katie smirked at her thirteen year old daughter as her jaws dropped.
"But mum! I'm supposed to write to Cho later... she's started seeing this Gorgeous hunk... Cedric Diggory. Do you know him?"
"Honestly D. I thought you'd have gotten some sense in you now. I'm hardly out of the house, and I don't go into the wizarding world unless I'm with you... how will I know a Diggory..." she paused to think, 'Diggory why did that name sound so damn familier?', "unless..."
"Unless what mum?" Danielle's face was filled with interest as she struggled to open her trunk.
Katie grinned at her daughter, and took out her wand, muttering alohamora before starting to help her go through her trunk. "Unless his father... is Amos Diggory..."
Danielle sat on the edge of her bed, swinging her legs "Yeah, Cho said so... what about him?"
"We used to date... a week, didn't exactly come to a good end..." Katie scrunched up her nose as a smile danced across her daughter's face.
"You dated Amos Diggory?! I heard he's just as cute as Ced! Ahhh, you lucky bitc- er... never mind."
"D... I have nothing against you swearing... I, as much as I hate to admit it, swore a lot when I was young... and it doesn't really matter if I dated Amos or not... he wasn't the one I truly cared for..."
"Dad was.... Wasn't he mum? When are you going to tell me who dad really is? I haven't seen him since... forever, and honestly you don't expect me to remember someone when I was two do you? DO you?"
"When the time comes D... please" Katie focused her gaze on her daughter's trunk. She wasn't ready to talk about her... husband... no she couldn't call him that, they never got married. Her fiancé... no, especially since his head is in pictures stating as the 'escaped murder'.
"Mum! Please, I'm thirteen... Fourteen this December, you can't keep it away from me mum!"
Katie picked up Danielle's wand from the bottom of her trunk before placing everything back, "I can, and I will... it's all for your own good..." She made her way out of the room but her daughter dragged her back.
"Mum! Please... I can't grow up not even knowing my fathers name... please, mum..." a small tear trickled down Danielle's face, and Katie sighed.
"I suppose... but... don't freak out, I just wanted the best for you... you probably wouldn't want to tell your friends anyways..." Wrapping her arms around her daughter and pulling her into a hug, Katie lead them to the bed before launching her story.

"It all began in my sixth year I suppose... I was always the loner in Ravenclaw, books, studies, nothing more. I wasn't even made prefect, though deep down that was what I always wanted..."
