Disclaimer: Do I really have to say this every single time?
Recap: …after a few seconds the door opened only to reveal a very surprised Ginny.
"Harry!" she cried out.
Chapter 4 Why
Ginny was returning to the party when she heard a knock at the door. She was shocked to see the one man who ran away from eleven years ago. Harry Potter. She had so many ideas running through her mind ranging from punching him right then and there to jumping in his arms and kiss his brains out.
"Harry?" was all she could say.
"Hello Ginny. Uh is your family here?" He asked.
"Yeah there out in the back yard."
"Mind if we come in?"
"We?"
"Sorry, Ginny I would like you to meet my Daughter Sapphire Lin Potter." He said.
'Daughter did he just say daughter.' she thought.
"If you can get everyone together in the living room I will explain everything that has happened and why I left." He said.
"Give me a moment." She said. "What why don't you two come with me."
In the Back Yard
"Um mum there is some one to see the family." Ginny said as she came out of the house.
"Who is it?" Arthur Weasley asked.
"Well its some one we know but don't really know."
"Who Ginny?" Ron asked.
"That would be me!"
If a needle were to fall a mile from the house it would toll as clear as a bell. Nobody move or said a thing. The one question that was running through every Weasley's mind was 'Why now? Why come home now.'
"Harry." Hermione she tried to talk but really was just to excited to see her long lost friend.
"Breathe Mione, breathe but yes it is me, and I know I have a lot of explaining to do." He said.
"You are not kidding, Harry." Bill said.
"Yeah Harry. But just one question be for you tell us why you left, who is that?" Ron asked.
"My daughter. Sapphire Lin Potter." He said. "Please before you explode and say something insanely stupid Ron. Let me explain. Please."
"Harry my dear boy you know you don't have to?" Molly Weasley said.
"I know but I want to." He said "Lets go back to the summer before school began. When we were in Diagon Alley. During the attack your parents were killed Hermione."
"I know this." She said.
"But what you don't know is, they were murdered right in front of me. Please Hermione don't say anything just yet. Your mother died in my arms before the healers could do anything. Her last words to me. 'Keep my daughter safe I know you will please keep her safe.' I kind of lived up to that promise but didn't you still were hurt. It was because of that I was afraid that if I told you the truth you'd hate me." He said.
"Is that why you left?" Bill asked.
"Mostly, I think it was mostly regret and that you all wouldn't want a murderer around. Anyway when I left I remembered Remus telling me about a place in the States he said it was a very beautiful place, to tell the truth he wasn't lying. Found work at a company that builds display cases (Um, funny as it seems I'm a machine op at the same company.) Met Sapphire's mother there, fell for her. Two months later we married and in August Sapphire was born." he said.
"Were is she now?" Ron asked.
"She died when I was three." Sapphire said. "It earned me a two month stay in the hospital."
"What happened?" Fred or was it George asked.
"F-5 tornado ripped threw the city hit our place leveled it. Killed 50 people and injured 60 more." Harry replied.
"A what?"
"A very violent storm, Charlie and it doesn't care who you are it just destroys and in most cases it can level one block and leave the next three untouched. Since living in Missouri I've been in three the f-5 being the worst."
"Who do you know all this?" Ginny asked very confused.
'I should have seen this one coming they don't know about such storms.' he thought "Karen taught me how to survive in what the American's called Tornado Alley."
"Karen was Sapphire's mother?" Mr. Weasley asked "And what in the world is Tornado Alley?"
"Yes, and Tornado Alley spreads from The Rocky Mountains to the Appalachian Mountains. There the most violent summer storms happen. Can we please go one to something more pleasurable to talk about, Please?" He asked.
"Why come here now?" Ron asked.
"Me I got a letter from a place called Hogwarts." Sapphire said. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"A foreign student allowed into Hogwarts? That has never happened before and we should know, Harry, we went to school there." Ron said. "And stop looking at me with a slack jaw. Hermione and the two monsters here kind of made me grow up."
"Now I know I've been away a very long time." Harry said. "And you Ginny."
"Well you should now that these two 'she motioned towards James and Lily.' are James and Lily and yes they are your children Harry."
"My children."
A/N: I seriously have no clue if an F-5 twister has hit my neck of the woods. But I do know this we have been hit before and have been in at least 2 that I know of. Anyway review and tell me what you think.
