Chapter Five

What did they say?

Dear Ron and Hermione,

I have written this letter over and over again, and I have no idea if you will believe me or not, but I think I have found my daughter.

It's Christa, Adele's new friend. They do everything together and they seem to have become close in the short time of the month that they have known each other.

Adele and Christa came to visit me yesterday and that when I really knew I had found my daughter. I swear Adele and Christa could be sisters. They had the same red hair Christa's being a bit darker, they show the Weasleys anger and they seem to get into mischief, a lot. They only thing I can find different is Christa's green eyes. I know those eyes, they are my eyes, and they are the eyes that I see staring back at me from the photo of my daughter's first steps.

I know Christa is my daughter, her last name is even Porter! If Ginny changed our daughter's name, she wouldn't have been able to change her first name, because Christa wouldn't have responded to anything else.

I need you advice, I need your help. I don't know what to do. I teach my daughter, and I see her everyday. Yet she had no idea who I really am to her.

What do I do?

Harry

"Hermione, he has found her." Ron paused as he finished reading the letter for the third time. "It has to be her."

"But you know what happened after she left, Harry thought he saw her everywhere."

"This is different, he is not seeing Christa everywhere, seeing her in different people, he is seeing his daughter. Look at the facts Hermione. One she has the same name, and her last name is very very similar to Potter. Two she has red hair-"

"Which could just be a coincidence." Hermione interrupted.

"Yeah I agree, but what about her eyes?" Hermione didn't reply. "Ha! See! Now four and most importantly Harry believes that this girl, Christa Porter, is his daughter and we should stand by him. After everything he has done for us, with us, lets help him prove this really is his daughter. We owe him that much. We should go see him on Saturday."

"Ok," she said quietly, "I will see tomorrow if there is any information about Christa at the Ministry."

"See I knew there was a reason why you were promoted to Managerial Researcher."

"Ha ha Ron!" Hermione said sarcastically as she leant over and kissed her husband.

"Not that I am complaining, but what was that for."

"Making sure you're real. With all this stuff going on in Harry's life, I am just glad I have you."

"Yep you are!"

"Ron!"

"Christa, I'm going to see Uncle Harry, you coming?" Adele announced.

"Yeah ok. It's Saturday, not like I want to study!"

Adele and Christa were inseparable, they did everything together, from studying in the library to detentions, but going to see Adele's Uncle was one of their favourite pastimes.

He always had a story to tell about Hogwarts, or the Weasleys, usually both and he has treated Christa like one of his nieces.

The girls walked down to Harry's office talking about the teachers at Hogwarts, especially Professor Snape. They would have to recount Potions from yesterday when Dara's potion had exploded and landed all on Professor Snape. Dara had received a detention but she had said it was worth seeing Snape's body break out into a rash and little purple hairs sprouting all over his body.

All the Gryffindors had difficulty trying to control their laughter and they had lost 25 points from their house but nothing could of made that experience bitter.

They arrived at Harry's office but before they could knock on the door the heard voices from inside.

"We have to find her!" urged Harry

"It's easier said than done."

"That's my mum." Adele whispered in surprise.

"But we are going to do everything we can do to help you." replied a male voice.

"And that's my dad" Adele whispered again

"Yeah I know." answer Harry

"Maybe we should comeback later," suggested Christa,

"Harry have you told Christa anything yet?"

Both girls gasped at the use Christa's name.

"What do you think?" Harry answered shouting this time

"Harry-"

"No Ron! What am I suppose to tell her?"

"She has to know" urged Ron!

"But it isn't my place to tell her!"

"I think we should go." said Adele as she dragged Christa away from the door.

"Why where they talking about me?" question Christa when they were away from the door.

"I have no idea Christa…

Harry was sitting at his desk when he heard a knock at the door, Adele and Christa he though, I could do with some laughter at the moment.

"It's open." He said.

"What are you guys doing here?" he asked surprisedly when he saw that it was in fact Ron and Hermione at the door.

"We are here to help you Harry." Hermione answered. "We want to help, we think after all you have done for us, especially with Adele, Josh and Mark, we owe you big time." She added.

"Plus Hermione found a lead on where Ginny might be." Ron said proudly.

"Where!".

"It's only a lead Harry but there was five witches who registered for muggle birth certificates and identification, about the time Ginny disappeared."

"Well we know that her last name is defiantly Porter, and I think her first name is Cassie." Harry said.

"Look, Harry I don't mean to doubt you but, do you mind if we meet Christa for ourselves we just wanna make sure ok. And if we are sure it will be easier to find Ginny."

"It's easier said than done."

"But we are going to do everything we can do to help you."

"Yeah I know." answer Harry

"Harry have you told Christa anything yet?"

"What do you think?" Harry answered shouting this time

"Harry-"

"No Ron! What am I suppose to tell her?"

"She has to know" urged Ron!

"But it isn't my place to tell her!"

"Look you two, calm down, everything will be ok."

"Now we are here for the rest of the day. So we have to go see the kids before it gets to late."

"We will see you later ok."

The girls walked slowly back up to Gryffindor Tower.

"Why were they talking about me?"

"Why are my parents here!"

"Yeah but Adele it is easier toe explain why your parents are here. But why are they talking about me? Your parents have never met me! What do they need to tell me?"

"I dunno. Maybe we should ask everyone see if they know."

"Ok."

So the girls walked back into the Gryffindor Common room, still wondering about the conversation they had heard.

"That was quick, you guys were barley gone for fifteen minutes." said Roxy. She looked at the girls, and immediately knew someone thing was wrong. "What's the matter? Is everything ok?" She asked hurriedly.

"We need to talk to everyone."

"Ok! I think everyone is in the Common Room.: Roxy then turned around to face the rest of the room. "Weasleys," she yelled, "you are all needed over here."

The three girls went to sit in the corner of the room, and where soon joined by all of the Weasleys still at Hogwarts.

"What's wrong Roxy?" Asked Tristan.

"I dunno, you will have to ask Adele and Christa, what's going on" she answered

When everyone sat down Adele started talking.

"We just came back up from Uncle Harry's office, but we never got in there. We heard voices and we thought we should wait to see who it was before knocking. So anyway we found out it was my mum and dad - " Adele said."

"What? Huh? What are they doing here?" Questioned the Weasleys.

"We don't no, worse of all, we were just about to leave when the said…" Adele trailed off and looked at Christa.

"What did they say?" asked Chantal.

"They were talking about a secret or something," it was Christa talking now, "and Adele's parents where telling Professor Potter that, she need to know or something and stuff like that. Then Adele's dad asked Professor Potter is he had told her yet, and he said no, what was he suppose to tell me."

"What? You?" Asked Roxy, in a very curious worried voice, everyone else was dumbstruck. "They where talking about you?"

"Yeah we don't know why."

"What else did they say"

"We left then. Do any of you know anything?"

They were all shaking their heads. "Sorry."

Later that day the Weasleys were all lounging around the Common Room when Professor McGonagall entered the room. She walked straight over to where Adele and Christa were playing chess.

"Ms Weasley" Said McGonagall

Adele and Christa looked up. So did the rest of the Weasleys, they where all wondering if McGonagall was going to ask the girls to see Harry.

"Your mother and father are in Dumbledore's office at this present time, and if you and any of your cousins would like to join you there are most welcome to as well."

Roxy looked around as her cousins, "No it's ok Professor. Tell them we said hi though, ok Adele." Adele nodded before turing to Professor McGonagall.

"Can Christa come as well?

"Yes of course, if she would like too."

Christa nodded in agreement, the girls followed Professor McGonagall as they headed up to Dumbledore's office.

"Wow" they both said quietly as they entered the office.

The office was littered with pictures of past Hogwarts Headmasters and Headmistresses, there were tables filled with objects they didn't recognise. Over near the desk were Adele's parents; Dumbledore was nearby petting his Phoenix, Fawkes.

"Ahh, hello" he said as the walked in. "I will leave you to it," and with that, he and Professor McGonagall left the room.

"Hey sweetpea," Hermione said as she hugged her daughter, then turn to Christa.

"Christa I am guessing. Nice to meet you."

"You to." Christa agreed.

"So what are you two doing here?" Adele questioned her parents

"We had to see your Uncle and Professor Dumbledore about a few things, sweetpea." Answer Ron, having a small laugh.

"Daaaaaaaad" Adele complained, "it is bad enough when mum calls me that."

"Oh I just do it to annoy you Adele, but your mother thinks you are a sweetpea. I don't know why though."

"Oh you two! Stop ganging up on me!"

So this is what it is like having both parents, Christa thought to herself. She loved her mum, but sometimes it would be nice to have a male around the house.

"So Christa, tell us a bit about yourself."

They had all sat down in the chairs near Dumbledore's desk. Christa followed suit.

"Umm okay, but there is not much to tell. I live with my mum, Cassie Porter, well her real name is Cassiopea, but everyone calls her Cassie, she's a Muggle. My mum and dad haven't seen each other since I was two and besides that the only other thing I know is that I have his eyes. Umm, what else, she said thinking, oh, I didn't know anything about magic until I got my letter. I have always been able to do odd things but I tried to ignore them. Umm that's about it."

"Hey mum," Adele suddenly said.

"Yes?"

"Could Christa come stay with us for a while at Christmas? Please?"

Christa's eyes lit up, Adele had mentioned visiting her in the upcoming holidays but she never thought she would really be invited.

"Well we are going to the Burrow. So we will have to see with your Grandparents."

"Oh they would love another person there," Ron butted in. "Sure you can come."

Hermione looked shocked and the girls became very excited,

"Cool! Thank-you, I will check with my mum to see if it is ok."

"Your mum can come to if she likes" added Ron.

"Yes that would be nice, agreed Hermione. Now you girls better get going, dinner starts soon." The girls left the office and Hermione turned to face her husband.

"You are a genius," Ron started to blush, "but do you think Ginny will come?" Asked Hermione, unsure that she wanted the answer.

"I don't know. Harry is right though, there is no doubt about it, Christa is definitely his daughter."

"I know, poor girl, she obviously wants to find her father, but doesn't know he is standing right in front of her."
