Thank you all for reviewing my previous chapter. I'm so sorry that I made everyone wait so long for this update. I hope that this chapter is to all my readers' satisfaction.

Chapter 5: Becca's Story (and her Unnamed Father)

Ginny hurriedly used a drying spell on her eldest child, than gathered up her three children, Becca, and the twins. Quickly she ushered them upstairs and into Sirius' bedroom.

"You guys need to stay up here for a while. You can play with anything in this room. Knowing Sirius' and Becca's minds, I am sure that they can find something to entertain everyone with. Please, please do not try to leave this room unless you are told it is all right. Is that clear?" Ginny asked as the children absent mindedly nodded to her and grouped together to most likely begin planning something or another that would land them all in trouble. She really was amazed on how much her eldest child lived up to his name. As she shut the door, Ginny quickly placed a locking charm on the door just in case one of the children decided to try and leave the room. It would be best if she, Harry, and Ron were able to tell Becca's story without any interruptions.

As she was descending the stairs, Ginny heard the shrill shrieks of 'Lestrange' getting louder and louder. As to not frighten the younger girl who knew so little of her own past and her family, Ginny placed a silencing charm on the downstairs so that Becca would have no chance of hearing the discussion that would soon be taking place. As she entered the living room she saw that her brother and her husband had been able to calm Hermione somewhat, but her face still housed a look of confusion and shock.

"In the time that you were gone, many things changed. You know that the war against Voldemort ended only two days before graduation, but at that time everything was not clear to us. We still were unsure whether certain people were on our side or the dark side. About a day after you disappeared, Dumbledore called the three of us to his office for a meeting. At first we thought that the meeting was to discuss where you could have possibly gone, but that was only half of the meeting. The second half of the meeting is what surprised us most. It was than that we leaned that Dumbledore had another spy besides Severus Snape. You see, even though I had been able to defeat Voldemort there were still some of his followers out there and it was our job as Order members to work along side the Ministry of Magic to locate them and bring them to trial. One such follower was Bellatrix Lestrange." Harry began.

At this point Ron decide to continue the story knowing that the topic of Bellatrix Lestrange was a sore subject for Harry. "Bellatrix Lestrange's husband had fought in the war and died at the hands of one of the Order members. Bellatrix on the other hand had not fought in the war and that little fact was mystery to many of us Order members. Bellatrix was one of the Dark Lords biggest supporters so I was a big mystery as to why she had not fought in the final battle. That mystery though, was soon solved about a week after the battle. You see, Bellatrix even then did not know that a certain deatheater was a spy for the light. So she called on said spy in hopes that he would help her out of her predicament. She begged him to come quickly to the location that she gave him because she needed help and she believed him to be one of the last few people that could help her. He agreed, but first apparated to Dumbledore's office to tell him where he was going to request backup to the given location to arrive in twenty minutes. It was within the first few minutes of that meeting that he learned exactly why Bellatrix Lestrange had been unable to fight in the final battle." Ron said pausing for a break. He was about to continue, but just as he was going to speak, Ginny started talking feeling as if it were her turn to tell the story.

"He apparated only to find himself in an old, rundown warehouse. Never had he thought he would see the proud Bellatrix Lestrange in such a place, but he pushed that thought out of his mind and began searching for the woman he was suppose to meet. He found her after only a few minutes inspection in a corner toward the back of the warehouse. To his surprise, he found that she had a small pink bundle in her arms. It was instantly clear to him that she had been unable to fight because she had been pregnant with a child. It is really unknown to everyone besides Bellatrix and the spy as to what exactly happened in the twenty minutes before back up from the Ministry and a few Order members arrived. It is known that Bellatrix call upon our spy because she thought him to be on her side and she thought that he might be able to help her out of her current situation. She also believed that he would be able to help her start another group like the one Voldemort had started. She, like him, did not want Muggleborns or Half bloods in the wizarding world and she would not go down without a fight. It is said that she told the spy that if she was going to start such a group she couldn't take care of a child. She told him that she hadn't even taken the time to name it because she had just planned to leave it somewhere and forget about the little girl that she had given birth to only a few days ago. Knowing that Ministry and Order officials would be arriving shortly, he instead asked for custody of the child. Not caring what happened to the child, Bellatrix hand over the child. As soon as the baby was safely in his arms he apparated out, just as his back up apparated in." Ginny said, leaving the last bit of the story for Harry to tell.

"Bellatrix Lestrange was captured and brought to trial. It was mandatory for the three of us as well as the spy and Dumbledore to attend her trial. I was put on the stand and questioned about the happenings in the Department of Mysteries in our fifth year. It was really a no brainer that she would be returning to Azkaban because she was never supposed to be out on the first place. I am happy to say though, that Sirius' death was brought to justice and she was found guilty on that account also. Just before the verdict was going to be given though, someone in the crowd asked about her child. She answered quite clearly that she neither wanted nor cared what happened to the child, but she said that she had already given custody to someone, pointing to the spy as she said so. That was all she said on that topic, but it is believed that she still thought he was on her side and had only appeared in the court to save his own skin. Soon after she was once again sentenced to life in Azkaban and now has guards outside her cell twenty-four/seven so that she has no chance of escaping." Harry finished the story by looking at Hermione's face. She held a stunned look upon her face; she had never believed that something like that would happen. So much had changed since she left, and little by little she was learning how her life would have been like if she had never left.

"You see, Becca hardly knows any of this. She knows that her biological parents were not very good people. She is aware that they made bad decisions that lead to their downfall. She knows that her biological father is no longer in the land of the living and that her mother is rotting away within the walls of the wizarding prison, but she still remains a happy child. When her father told her about her biological parents, he said that she just smiled and said that the only family she need was him and his mother. To her, he is her real father and she her grandmother. They are the only ones that she has ever known as family. He has been revealing some of this information to her little by little each year, but she never seems too fazed by it. Apparently it doesn't matter to her as long as she has her father. The thing is, Rebecca is possible the only reason that he is who he is today. When he first received her he was in a depressed state. He has never revealed to us why he was depressed at the time, but if it weren't for his little girl I don't think that he ever would have left that depression. She made him smile and little by little he returned to normal, except this time the three of us became friends with him and vice versa." At this point Harry paused, but quickly started up again. "At first it was really hard for me to except both of them. It became easier for me to except him because I learned that he had only ever acted like a prat because he had been protecting himself. The little girl was a different story though. She was a Lestrange. She was part of the woman that had killed my Godfather and the biggest supporter of Voldemort. I began to find little things to do whenever her father brought her over, but when Sirius was born and they began to play together, I soon was able to except her. I slowly began to spend time with her and was able to tell that she would grow up to be nothing like her mother. Now, I love her as if she was my own little girl."

"Now we only hope that you will be able to get past her name and learn to love her as if she was your own or one of our children. She really is a sweet child and the complete opposite of the family that she was born into. We understand that I will be hard at first, but all we want you to do is give her a chance. She a great little girl to be around, always finding a way to make people smile." Ginny told Hermione, hoping that her friend would not judge the small girl by her last name.

Hermione only nodded, she knew now that she would have to give the child a chance. It wasn't her fault that she was born into that family. It only mattered now that she was being raised by good people. It was then that she realized something for the first time. Throughout the story none of her friends had mentioned the name of Becca's father. "Who is her father?" Hermione asked wondering why they had not mentioned him to her.

The room was silent for a few minutes as the three young people in which the question was addressed began to ponder over how to answer the question without startling their friend. They were unsure how she would react to that information because as far as they knew she had never really been on friendly terms with him.

"We can't exactly give you that information right now. I can tell you that his business trip will be over on Halloween and he will be coming straight here to pick up Becca and for the twins birthday party. You can meet him then if you like. "Ginny finally answered.

Hermione nodded. She was a little puzzled as to why they could not tell her who Becca's father was, but she figured they had a reason and would not question it anymore. She figured that she would learn in due time. "I guess that it is time that I tell my story." Hermione began. "It all started when …"

A/n: Well that is chapter five. I hope that everyone liked it. The next chapter will be Hermione's story. Hopefully I will be able to post it soon. I have about 880 words written for it and since my average for each post is like 1150 word I should be able to update soon. Please leave me a review to let me know what you thought of this chapter. Oh, and in chapter 7, you will finally be able to meet Marshal's, Phinny's, and Ali's father.

Thanks for reading,
