They got on their coats and Ginny picked Vata up and apperated to the Burrow's front gate. They walked to the door and Ginny hid behind a bush.
"Hello?" Ron asked as he answered the door.
"Hi! You must be Ron." Vata stated.
"Who wants to know?" he asked quizzically.
"Ah! There's a spider!" she screamed. Ron squeaked like a little girl. "Yup, you're Ron"
"What's wrong, sweetie?" Hermione asked, coming to the door.
"This little demon child here." He said. Hermione looked at Vata and asked her who her mother was.
"I'm right here." Ginny said, coming out from behind the bush. Hermione gasped then threw her arms around her.
"Ginny!" Ron said, very surprised. They walked into the house, and Mrs. Weasley gasped too.
"Ginny? Is that you?" she asked through her hands. Ginny nodded and ran into her mother's arms.
"I've missed you, mum"
"Everyone, I'd like you to meet my daughter, Vata." She said, pulling her over in front of her.
"Y-You had a child?" her mother asked. Ron looked horrified.
"Yes," she said quietly, not knowing how they would take it.
"W-Why didn't you tell us?"
"I couldn't. Dumbledore sent us into hiding, and I couldn't owl or floo anyone. I'm sorry."
"Oh my" was all she had to say. Everyone else was speechless.
"Well, I guess we should get going, then." Ginny said, picking up Vata.
"No, wait." Hermione said. "Stay and talk for a while. It's been ages since we last saw you."
"Yes, please do dear." Added Mrs. Weasley. "And it's family dinner night tonight, so the rest of the family will be here. I'm sure they'd love to see you." Ginny looked at Vata who gave her mother a pleading look and nodded. "Great, let's go into the living room, now shall we?" Ginny put her daughter down and they all went into the living room. Vata went straight into Hermione's lap and started playing with her hair.
"Vata, calm down, honey. I'm not sure if Hermione wants you play with her hair. You have to ask first." Ginny said, taking a seat next to them. Ron sat on the other side of his mother on the other couch. Vata sighed and turned once again to Hermione.
"Can I please play with your hair?" she asked. Hermione laughed and said yes.
"Ginny?" Her mother asked.
"Yes?"
"Who's the father?"
"Neville." She stated. Ron looked furious.
"I'll kill him." he threatened.
"You can't; he's already dead." Mrs. Weasley and Hermione gasped. "And so is her birthmother, Luna."
"I thought they went on a mission for the Order." Hermione said. "And that their little girl was killed by Deatheaters."
"No, they were the ones killed. That night, Dumbledore came to my house and told me that they wanted me to look after Vata for them. He said that he would tell you for me, and that I had to leave."
