A/N: This is the mysterious ch 3 that I kept referring too Hannio hopefully its as good as I've said it would be…. but we learn the truth! Dun dun dun!
Disclaimer: plot is the only thing I own…
"Gin dear we need to talk" Mum motioned for me to sit down.
"Ginny dear, there is some things me and your father need to discuss with you but we ask that you remain as calm as possible. Everything that you have questions about will be answered in the end."
"What--what is this about?"
"In due time but please don't interrupt us this is hard on us as it is on you..."
"It would probably be best if I started Molly"
"Of course Arthur…"
"Years ago when you were born your mother came and contacted us about your safety…"
"Oh what he's trying to say is that your are not truly our daughter even though we love you just if you were ours"
"What---what"
"I know Gin-bug that this is a lot of information and that it's confusing but it isn't all that we must tell you today."
"It isn't all? IT ISN'T ALL!?! What possibly could be more than saying that I am not who I have been for my entire life?"
"Oh no dear you are who you have grown up to be you just don't have the same last name you were given." Mum replied coming over to comfort me where I sat.
"Ginny I know that this is hard but you are a strong girl and this was done for your safety and the love of your mother."
The love of my mother…my mother…not the women who sat beside me who I knew loved me but a women that I had gone almost sixteen years not knowing…
"Arthur, I think we should let her ask the questions I know she has running through her little head."
She's got that right…
"Who is my mother?" I blurted out.
"Maybe I should introduce myself" a voice came from the darkened corner of the room.
A tall slender woman stood up from the chair there and slowly advanced to where her daughter sat.
Now that she's in the light she reminds me of someone I've seen at Hogwarts…"My dear Guinevere my name is Natalie Zambini, you may know my son Blaise from Hogwarts. I know you must have tons of questions so ask away."
Bingo that's who it was…now I can see the resemblance.
"Why?"
"My family knew when you were born that we needed to protect you from my husband's ties with the death eaters. You have a special gift that we couldn't let them get so when you were born I contacted one of my dear friends, Molly. We agreed that she would raise you until you were sixteen and on the eve of your sixteenth birthday you would be informed of your origin. What we would do after that was uncertain because we didn't know the status of my husband but as you know he was put in Azkaban a short while ago and given the Kiss shortly after. Do you have any other questions?"
"What special gift were you talking about, I have none, I'm just an ordinary witch."
"You come from a lone line of prominent witches who can harness the powers of old magic. Which you know is hard to do and encompasses many abilities. It hasn't been seen in my family for years and with this rise of war we didn't want you to be under their control. No one knows this except Molly, Arthur, Dumbledore, and my family. Well except Blaise we couldn't have him know of you just in case his father's hold on him became too great. Thankfully that didn't happen or I don't know what I would do."
"What is going to happen now?"
"I don't entirely know yet but I would like sometime in the near future to place you back into society as my daughter but I think that will have to wait until maybe your sixteenth birthday over your winter break. For the time being though I would like to get to know you better maybe introduce you to Blaise and come visit the manor."
"Oh" This is too much but what about my family…or the Weasley's…how would they treat me now? Would they still treat me like their sister or turn their backs? What should I do?
"I know this is very confusing for you but it had to be done little one, I couldn't go my entire life with not having you in my life. You will remain here until you are ready I will not force you into a new life and make you abandon you old completely. I just hope you give me a chance to get to know my daughter." I looked up at her and finally could see that she was crying and from the looks of it she'd been crying the entire time. It made me realize that she might actually care about me and love me as I was told. I was crying as well and confused as ever I didn't have mum…no wait a minute what do I call her now…to comfort me any more she had moved back since my real mum came forward. She looked up at me then just now and saw the pain and confusion on my face I guess and took the spot next to me. For the first time that night she hugged me and that broke the damn that I had built up of my feeling I hugged back with so much emotion and cried on her shoulder. I could hear her whispering something but it was hard for me to hear over my own sniffles.
"I love you my little one, my firefly, my Guinevere I am so sorry that things turned out this way…" she kept repeating it that over and over now that I could actually hear her.
"I forgive you" I whispered back until she could hear me and then when she did she hugged me a little tighter and pulled back.
"I'm so glad to hear you say that…I can't bear for you to be in pain and was afraid that you wouldn't accept me into your life" She leaned forward and hugged me one last time and pulled away again.
We sat silent for a while after that until someone cleared their throat bringing me back from my thoughts.
"Ummm maybe we should leave you two alone so that you can talk alone." Arthur spoke as motioning Molly towards the door.
"Wait I have one question for you both if I may?" looking to the both of them.
"Of course Ginny dear?"
"What will happen between me and the family now? How will the boys take this? Will they still treat me as their sister? Will I be welcomed still?"
"Of course, just because you don't have our same last name anymore doesn't mean we still love you, and each of your brothers love you in their own special way although it might be a little difficult with them at first to grasp it except for maybe Charlie and Bill. But you know that your brothers won't think of you different because of a name."
That was a little reassuring but not until I hear it from each of them will it make my mind a little more at ease.
"We were planning on telling your brothers tonight while you got to know Natalie a bit."
"Thank you so much." with that they exited the room to leave my real mum and me alone.
"I'm sorry to be asking about them and referring to them as my family, I didn't mean it in any offense to you."
"No don't be sorry I understand and I don't mind at all. I wouldn't actually mind getting to know each and one of them so maybe that I can learn more about you and what you love about them. They won't ever stop being your family just because you found out about your real family I just hope that you will consider me and Blaise family one day too. So I know you must have more questions ask away I'm an open book."
"What about Blaise does he know about me?"
"Yes I informed him before I arrived here. He actually took the information rather well…well after he got over the confusion of the situation and I told him everything. He actually wanted to come with me to meet you but I told him that would have to wait until you were ready for it. He likes the idea of him being an older brother and having a little sister he never knew. He told me he knew little about you except that of your brothers and every once in a while hearing a couple taunts Draco threw at you in previous years. Which will change once I have a little talk with the boy, but of course that will have to wait until you are unmasked into society. Honestly though even though the Zambini's are of a lower ranking family of that of the Malfoy's my side of the family isn't and shouldn't be treated that way. Of course he did not know that but he will soon. I digress next question."
"Why did you pick the Weasley's to take me in to raise me?"
