Fred knocked on the door, which was open a few minutes later by a red haired girl, who Briseida thought was probably around her age.
Hey guys! Long time without seeing you two! She hugged them both.
Ginny said Fred this is Briseida, Briseida this is my younger sister Ginny
Hi, how are you? asked Ginny to the girl in front of her. Without asking she could tell the answer. Her blond her was messy and her light brown eyes looked tired. She was wearing loose jeans and dirty pink Nike tennis shoes. Her white t-shirt looked crumple.
Before Briseida could answer Fred said: Let's leave the chit chat for later shall we? We better go inside
Ginny stepped into the house followed by the twins and the girl.
Mum, Fred's brought a girl She said to her mother. Everybody who was sitting down at the kitchen and living room turned around.
Well it was about time you got yourself a girl now Fred said Arthur
Dad, it's not what you think… The girl seemed embarrassed and looked down.
O my god you got her pregnant! Bill stood up from his sit.
You did what? Mrs. Weasley walked quickly towards her son looking furious.
Ok, now you all are just being stupid! Screamed Fred I didn't get her pregnant, and I actually brought her here because she needs help
Did you get her pregnant George? I always knew you were one who was one step ahead! Bill laughed.
Would you stop! She's neither pregnant, nor she has any disease, Fred stated before Bill could open his mouth and if you would just quit behaving as if you were Ron you would understand it!
Hey! I do not appreciate that! Ron who was helping Fleur with her knitting looked harshly at his brother
Shut it Ron, this is more important than your girly feelings! Bill said to Ron who seemed embarrassed and sat down staring directly to the floor.
Well, then Said Mr. Weasley If this trouble apparently does not relate to you two Mrs. Weasley mumbled something like "Thank God". Harry Potter who was sitting by Ginny wasn't sure if he should laugh or not.
Anyways, what seems to be the problem this time? Asked the twins father.
You see dad started Fred we need your help, but we would like to talk about this with you alone
Now I'm sure you got her pregnant restated Bill
I sure over Merlin that if you say that once more Bill I'll come at night and cut that little pony tail of yours Bill grabbed his hair with a protective manner Now all of you see yourselves out to your rooms, and do not bother to listen
Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione headed upstairs while Bill just stood there.
That includes you too young man Said Molly
You cannot tell me to go to my room, I'm soon to be married His mother gave him a mean look and Bill rushed upstairs.
You'll have to apologize our eldest son, he's not usually like this, but he's recently got engaged and that ahs affected him quite a bite, now why you all don't sit down and tell us what is that you want help with Fred, I believe we have a few minutes before the rest of our guest arrive Mrs. Weasley
Fred then showed Briseida a sit beside him and George decided to go upstairs. (A/N oh yes he's going to tell the gang and Bill what's really going on)
He explained the situation to his parents.
Oh dear child! You've had to put up with that for your entire life, I'm so sorry. See Arthur, I told you the Ministry should have some sort of control over this kind of things. We'll talk to Dumbledore the minute he gets…
Door knocks.
Mrs. Weasley looked through a little hole in the door and opened it.
Albus we were just talking about you She said to a very old man who carried a long beard and small glasses. Behind him entered a young woman with bubble gum pink hair, a man who looked like he could use a bath, a woman who seemed as she was very rigorous and at last a man whose robes seemed old and unclean, his hair was between gray and dirty blond, and he appeared as he needed a good night sleep.
Briseida dear, meet Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape, and Nymphadora Tonks, oh! And before I forget, Remus Lupin.
She said hello to everybody.
Well you see Professor I'm afraid we're in the need for your help Said Fred getting up from his chair.
I would gladly help you Fred as long as you don't tell me you have got this lady pregnant because I'm afraid I can't do much there Dumbledore let go a little laugh.
Seriously do I look pregnant? Everybody's head turned to Briseida, including those who had been sent upstairs that came down when they heard the bell ring.
What? Fred looked with preposterous eyes at the girl
No I'm asking that question sincerely, because he's the second person to say that, and really I don't think I look pregnant, I've barely eaten since I got to this country three days ago!
You haven't eaten? Mrs. Weasley fixed her eyes on the teenager. Well of course you haven't, look at yourself, you could faint right now, sit down, we'll start eating and we'll talk later Nobody dared to disobey, and the Sunday meal went in silent. When everybody was full they were sent outside except for the adults, Fred and Briseida.
So, Professor do you think there's a way to help her Inquired Fred after Briseida explained her situation to the members of the Order.
Well, yes there is, but I'm afraid they all imply taking the case to the Wizengamont, which means you would have to face your step-father and the process is really painful Dumbledore was sitting calmly with his fingertips together. (you know, whole homer Simpson's boss style).
It's OK, I just want to get away from him
I bet you do, in the meantime we'll contact the Minister right away to inform him of the situation, and we need to find you a guardian until we find your father
She can stay with me offered Fred.
I think it would be much better if she stays here declared Arthur.
So do I, I'll write to the Minister this very moment and after I get the order I'll send somebody to get your stuffs from the house. Now Molly, could you lend me some paper and a pen Mrs. Weasley hurried.
Professor do you believe Ill find my father? Briseida asked him
I must be honest with you, unless we've got some clue about who he might be, I think it will be very hard
The only thing I have is an old picture, but you see is from Hogwarts, and he might not look the same anymore Her voice seemed as she was one step from breaking.
But dear McGonagall interrupted you have three teachers from Hogwarts here, without mentioning we've all studied there as well
Briseida dig deep in her pocket and took out and old envelope.
You see, I've never dared to look inside it, so I keep it in the envelope she gave me along with a letter for my father, it was the last one she wrote before dying One tear streamed down her face, but she wiped it out quickly.
She handed it to Dumbledore.
Are you sure you do not rather opening it yourself? He asked.
No actually, could I step outside while you look at it? She got up from her seat.
Do you want me to come with you? Fred stood up as well.
No stay here, I need a moment She closed the door behind her leaving them all alone.
Well, let's see who we find here shall we?
Dumbledore opened the envelope and took the picture that was on it. He did not make any expression.
After a few seconds Remus asked Who is it Albus?
You're not gonna believe this
