A tear rolled down my cheek as one of the glasses turned purple. All eyes were on the glass, but I looked up into the eyes of my father. For twenty years I had wondered what he looked like and if I looked like him. Now he was standing in front of me. My mother squeezed my hand, but I didn't look away. I had to admit he wasn't the person I thought would be my father. But this was the moment of truth. I finally knew and I finally had the family I had always dreamed of.

"Hermione, there you are I've been looking for you. I have something important to…" Ginny came into the kitchen followed by Luna.

I could hear her and knew why she cut off what she was trying to say. But I didn't take my eyes off him, I couldn't love away. I wondered if this was who my mother thought my father was or if she was just as surprised as I was at this moment. She was still squeezing my hand and I didn't know if that was a good or a bad thing. I didn't want to break eye contact to look at her.

"Well I'll be damned," I heard Ginny say from somewhere in the room. "I can't believe she's…"

And that was the last thing I remember. I woke up the next morning with a start. I didn't know where I was. I blinked several times and realized I was in my room. The events of last night came back to me and I sat up in my bed. I ran my fingers through my hair. I don't know how I expect last night to go. I had wanted my father to through his arms around me, I know that. I didn't know if any of that would actually have happened had I not passed out. I wasn't sure why I passed out. Maybe it was all the stress of the situation. The moment I had dreamed about as I little girl was finally here, and I had ruined it.

There was a knock on my door and I absently said "Come in."

Teddy walked in and came to sit on my bed next to me. Following muggle wedding traditions, it was bad luck for him to see me today, but I didn't care. I practically flew into his open arms. He hugged me and stroked my hair so lovingly. I loved him more than words could say, and I knew he loved me. We just sat there in each other's arm not speaking for what seemed like hours but in reality, I know it had only been a few minutes.

"What were you thinking? You scared the hell out of me last night," Teddy finally spoke as he broke the embrace to look at me.

"I wanted to know who my father was, Teddy." I said back. "I wanted a connection in the magical world since I know my mother isn't ever going back."

He sighed. "But you have me and my family. You have Laken and Shannon. They're like sisters to you. We will all always be there for you. You know how much we love you."

"I know but it's not the same as having a blood relative. For so long my only blood relative has been my mom," I said as a tear rolled down my cheek.

"I do wish sometimes I could have met my parents. So, I do understand," I sighed again.

I watched as Teddy's hair turned blue. It was an automatic response when he thought of them. I knew as a teenager Teddy had some resentment toward his parents. I know he understood the fought in a war for our freedom from the Dark Lord, but he wished they would have lived for him. It was a part of his life he couldn't change. His grandmother and Harry had told him so much about what amazing people they were, but it wasn't the same as knowing them himself.

"I gotta go wake up Luka," Teddy said as he tried to shake off the sadness he felt.

He kissed me gently and got up. I watched him walk out of the room. I smiled as he shut the door. The next time I saw him I would be walking towards him down the aisle. He was right today was about us. Today was the day I finally became a Lupin, something I had been dreaming about since I was fourteen.

I got up and through on some clothes. I had to find Shannon and Laken. I knew Laken was probably with George, but I really had no idea where Shannon had gone last night. I knew she was seeing someone, but she was keeping it hush hush. I wasn't sure why, but I guess when she was ready, she would tell me and Laken. It seemed like everyone was keeping secrets from these days, I thought to myself as I brushed my hair. I put my hand on the doorknob and just as I was about to open it to leave there was another knock.

I opened it and found myself staring face to face with the man I found out was my father last night. "Can we talk?" he asked.

I stepped aside and met him and closed the door behind him. I watched him as he paced the room. He was nervous and I was nervous too having him in my room. There were so many things I wanted to say to. So many things I wanted to ask him. I wanted to know everything about my family. All the good and the bad, but now wasn't the time for that. We had plenty of time to get to know each other. He stopped pacing and looked at me.

"If I had known I never would have stayed away," he said.

"I know. What I don't agree with what my mother did. Shannon, Laken, and I searched for years to find you. Now all the clues we got make perfect sense. They didn't at the time but the do now," she told him.

"It was just a matter of a simple potion and she should have tried."

I sighed he was right but, in her defense, Laken was the one who had found that potion buried down in a book in the forbidden section of the library at Hogwarts. I wasn't sure why it was there, but we had set the plan in motion as soon as she found it. Tracking down all the ingredients had taken us three years, so it wasn't as simple as he thought.

He stepped forward then and hugged me. I hugged him back immediately. It felt so good to finally be in his arms. This was something I had waited twenty years for. I finally knew where I belonged. I had a big family I always wanted. I was a Weasley!

A/N: There you go. I made you wait until the end of the chapter but now you know who her father is. Next up what is Shannon up to? Since Laken got a story line its only far I give Shannon one.
