Authors note: so sorry for all you people that actually read the prologue that it took me oh so long, but here is chapter 1
Chapter 1: Puzzled
Ginny sighed. She was working behind the counter today and the store was usually quite empty at this time, as it was 2 in the afternoon. Suddenly she heard the front door ring and went to investigate who it was. She took a deep breath put on a fake smile and said, "Hello and welcome to Madeline Clothing Department! How may be of service of you?"
The lady looked as if she was in her early 30s and was wearing a very expensive cloak. Her hair, which was put in a bun on the back of her head, was chestnut colored. For some reason or another she seemed to be examining Ginny. It was almost as if she recognized her or something.
"Excuse me miss but do you need any help?" Ginny said politely looking quite puzzled.
"Uh… No it just… You look so familiar, have I – have I ever seen you before?"
"Um… no miss, I can't recall ever seeing you before. Sorry."
"Oh please, call me Ms. Hallows."
"Of course Ms. Hallows. Do you need any help with your shopping?" Ginny replied.
"Why yes I do." And Ms. Hallows went on to tell Ginny her sizes and what kind of dress she wanted, and thus the awkward moment was over.
Two Days Later...
OH – SO AMAZING OH – SO AMAZING OH – SO AMAZING
"Why Ms. Hallows! How nice to see you again! What can I do for you today?" Ginny greeted as she saw the older lady walk through the store door.
"Well, when I was here I seemed to forget that I," - she paused, "that I had forgotten I needed a new dress robe for an event…
One week later after the above incident
OH – SO AMAZING OH – SO AMAZING OH – SO AMAZING
Ginny sat down on the stool behind the counter and thought. Ms. Hallows has been in here an awful lot in the pass weeks. She mused I wonder what's going on. If she comes in again I must ask her.
And soon enough two days later at exactly 2 in the afternoon who should waltz through the door but Ms. Hallows.
Just as the many times she had been in before, Ms. Hallows had some kind of excuse of being there again.
Right before Ms. Hallows was about to leave, Ginny summoned up enough courage to ask the lady.
"Pardon me for not minding my own business, but is there another reason for you coming here so many times in the last couple weeks?"
"Oh no dear it's certainly okay for you to ask me that!" she paused thinking about what to say, "It is just that – oh this is going to sound so foolish but – I believe, actually I am quite certain, you are my biological daughter."
She said that last part awfully quickly and Ginny had trouble keeping up, but she did manage. So, naturally, she gapped at the rich pureblood lady in front of her until she sputtered out, "You cannot be serious!"
"You see dear – this is the reaction I was expecting, which is why I put off telling you."
Not waiting for Ginny to continue, she went on, "You have my facial features, and you have your father's eyes. That is the proof. You are a Weasley, I figured that out, and no Weasley has bright green eyes like you, they have brown, think about it and ask your parents dear." And with that she turned and left.
OH – SO AMAZING OH – SO AMAZING OH – SO AMAZING
