AN: Hello people! Review to let me know what you think! I'm very interested in what you think.

Disclaimer: I don't own Potter.

Minerva, Albus, and Haley sat in the sitting room. Albus had placed the sealed test on the table in front of them but nobody wanted to be the one to open it. It could be good or bad news. They stared at it for five minutes. Finally Haley decided that it was her test. She was the one that needed to open it. With shaky hands she broke off the red seal and unfolded the paper.

Albus and Minerva watched her very carefully. After staring at the paper for two very long minutes Minerva saw tears streaking her face. Instantly she knew that she wasn't a Potter. She pulled the weeping girl into her arms to try to comfort her.

After a few minutes Haley calmed down and Minerva let her go and waiting to hear what the results were. With a very rough voice Haley said, "I could have had an amazing life."

She passed them the results and read:

RACHEL PREWETT WEASLEY

"Oh Merlin," Minerva whispered. She remembered the case. She had signed up to be a part of the search team. Now that she thought about it so did James. They had been in a group together. Lily was too busy taking care of her own baby to help.

Albus remembered the case also. There were no leads. None of the wards went off yet the baby was gone. The Potters were friends with the Weasleys. They could have easily gotten through the wards because the wards recognized them.

"How would you like to go about this Haley?" Albus asked carefully.

"I don't know. I love the Weasleys but…"

"You're worried about their reaction." It wasn't a question but Haley nodded.

"How about this? Tomorrow I will go to Arthur and Molly and tell them what I know. They will probably want you to move in with them so I will tell them you will be at the Burrow in Saturday. That gives you a few days to get used to the idea. You won't need to see or speak to them until then. Does that sound acceptable?"

Haley nodded numbly. It was Tuesday she had a while to get used to it. She doubted she would but at least this would help.

Haley fell asleep on the couch in the sitting room as she was staring into the fire.

The next day Albus asked a friend at the Ministry to inform him when Arthur went home. An hour after he arrived home Albus apperated just outside the Burrow. He knocked on the door and it was answered by a short red head.

"Hello, Ms. Weasley, would your parents be home?" Albus asked the shy girl. She nodded and ran off; a moment later Molly appeared.

"Albus, how can we help you?"

"Actually Molly it's a long story." Molly seemed to get the hint and stepped out of the way to let Albus in. "Could I possibly speak with you and Arthur alone?"

"Of course, one second. Percy?" Molly called.

"Yes mum. Oh, um, hello Headmaster."

"Hello Mr. Weasley," Albus said with a nod.

"Perc, can you take everyone out to the pond for a while? I'll call you when dinners ready," Molly asked.

Percy nodded and immediately went to round up the others. "Please sit down Albus. I'll go find Arthur."

Five minutes later all the kids had left and Molly, Arthur, and Albus were sitting around the kitchen table with a cup of tea each.

"It's about Haley," Albus started.

"Is she alright?" Arthur asked with concern.

"Somewhat. When she arrived to school this year her mind was warded. When Severus managed to get the wards down we found that there were several magical blocks. It took until the end of the school year to unblock it all. One of the things blocked was her metamorphagus abilities. James and Lily used the training spell to change her appearance before blocking the ability so she wouldn't be able to change back."

"Why would they do that?" Molly asked in confusion.

Arthur seemed to understand though, "So she would look like them."

"But if she's their daughter she would look like them anyways," Molly stated.

"What I think Albus is getting at is he doesn't think Haley is the Potter's daughter."

Albus nodded, "I know she's not. When we removed the block she went back to her normal state. She looked nothing like James or Lily. So yesterday we went to Gringotts. That's why the three of us were in Diagon Alley yesterday. Haley took the lineage test. When we got back to Minerva's Haley opened it. Our suspicions were conformed. The Potter's kidnapped Haley."

"Oh that poor girl," Molly whispered. "First she's abused then she learns that she wasn't even meant to live that life. She must be freaking out."

"Exactly, that's why she agreed to see her parents Saturday. She needs time to accept what has happened."

"Of course, her parents should understand that. Tell her that if she needs anything that she only has to ask. Our home will still be open to her if she wants it."

Albus smiled, "That's good to know."

"I cannot believe this though. The Potter's were such nice people. I never would have guessed they could…" Arthur started. Then he looked at Albus with big eyes.

"Arthur?" Molly asked.

"Albus, are you telling me what I think you're telling me?"

In reply Albus pulled out a copy of the of the lineage test. "See for yourselves."

Arthur grabbed the parchment and unfolded it while Molly watched. When they saw they name, they both burst into tears. Their baby was alive. She would be coming home Saturday. She would be able to hold her Rachel again. After almost twelve years she would be back. She already loved Haley before this. To know that it was her baby that they had eaten lunch with the other day. Words could not explain her immense happiness.

Arthur was feeling the same way but along with his happiness came anger. His friends kidnapped his baby. Then some idiots had the nerve to hurt her because she was a witch. It was so unfair to her.

Finally Molly choked out, "She's coming Saturday?"

"Yes," Albus said softly, "she wasn't sure what your reactions would be so refused to say she would move in before you said what you wanted."

"Of course we want her to live here!" Molly shrieked.

"I know, Molly. I told her that but you must understand that Haley is used to being unwanted. She needed to be positive that you wanted her before she started packing. She did say however, that if you requested it she would move in on Saturday. I was just meant to double check for her sake."

Molly nodded numbly. "How could they do that to us?" she said hoarsely.

Arthur pulled her into a hug. "I don't know, Molly."

"How did she take it?" Molly asked. "Finding out it was actually us."

Albus gave her a sad smile, "The first thing she said after reading it was, 'I could have had an amazing life'.

Molly gave a small sob again. Arthur said, "She should have had one."

Then Molly said, "Oh Merlin, You-Know-Who almost killed her."

"Molly, he didn't. He wasn't able to. She is alive. You've seen her," Arthur tried to comfort his wife.

"People have hurt our baby, Arthur," Molly said.

"I know, but now we have her back and can protect her," Arthur said before turning to Albus, "I want the Dursleys to be punished for what they did to my daughter."

"In due time that will happen but Haley has been through a lot lately. I think that for her sake you should hold off on asking her about her past until she is more comfortable with you. She was fine when you were her friend's parents but you are going to start the whole relationship over now that you are her parents. She will probably feel out of place with the other children now because before they were just friends now they are her siblings. The people may be the same but the title will probably throw her off. She will be distant and shy. She will most likely try even harder than usual to try to impress you for your acceptance. Try not to show angry around her. She may misinterpret it. Also she is not used to physical contact except for the odd hug from a friend. If she flinches ignore it. It may embarrass her if she is called on it."

Molly and Arthur listened vividly to the instructions. Albus continued, "You have two spare rooms correct?"

"Yes, Bill and Charlie's room are empty when they aren't here."

"I suggest you give one of them to Haley. She will need a place of her own to go in case things intense. Eventually we will need to make an announcement but we still have some time before we need to do anything big. For now she needs to calm down."

"An announcement?" Molly questioned.

"Molly, your daughters not just anybody. You two gave birth to the saviour of the wizarding world. An announcement needs to be made before rumours start. I would give her until the middle of August at latest. That would give the media enough time to get the story out before she goes to school."

Molly nodded her understanding.

"Expect your lives too be busy after that. Reporters will want interviews. People will want you at their parties or over to dinner just to say that they know you. You will need to fit a long trip to Gringotts also."

"Why?" Arthur asked in confusion.

"You just inherited several properties and over a billion galleons."

"What?" Molly gasped.

"The Potter's were very wealthy even if Haley isn't there true daughter they did leave her everything they owned. Haley currently only has access to one of her vaults but either when she turned of age or permanent guardian she will inherit the rest. I would suggest that after you give the announcement you should move to one of the manors they own. It would be more private for Haley. That is your decision though."

The Weasleys were stunned.

"Also I thought you may like to stay close to Haley for a while. If you are interested I would like you to work at Hogwarts so you can stay close to your family this year."

"Work at Hogwarts? Doing what?" Arthur asked.

"Arthur we have an opening for the muggle studies teacher position and Molly, Poppy has wanted more help in the hospital wing for a while now. Considering all your children will be there I thought that you two could take the positions. But again it is your decisions. Take some time and discuss it."

"She's going to be alright, right Albus?" Molly asked.

"In time. Your daughter is a very strong person. Now I should get going because that very strong person is probably pacing a hole in the floor waiting for me," Dumbledore said smiling. "I will come by Friday to make sure everything is fine for her arrival on Saturday."

Albus wasn't wrong about the pacing. Haley had been in the room Minerva gave her for hours thinking about her parents. She hadn't eaten all day but her stomach was doing so many summersaults that she believed nothing she ate would be able to stay down anyways. She bolted out of the room and jumped over the rail of the staircase when she heard someone arrive by floo.

"Haley! Are you trying to break your neck?" Minerva scolded half-heartedly. She did understand the girls rush.

"Albus?" Haley asked quietly.

Albus smiled at her, "It happened exactly as I said it would. They want you to move in Saturday. They were so happy to have you back and they cried tears of pain and joy. They want you Haley. There is no doubt in my mind that they want to welcome you in their family. They will treat you as they do any of their other children."

Haley couldn't help it she threw her arms around Albus' waist. "Thank you, sir."

"Of course my dear. I did not talk to the children. Molly and Arthur will tell them but unless I'm mistaken I believe they already 'love ya like a sister'. I will go there again Friday and then I will drop you off sometime on Saturday."

Molly whipped up a quick dinner and called the children in. After dinner she told the kids to go to the living room and wait for them. Arthur went to floo call Bill and Charlie telling them that there was a 'family issue'. They came over immediately and all nine of them sat in the living room.

Arthur cleared his throat said, "Ron, Fred, George, Ginny, there is something that we have been keeping from you for years."

This drew their attention immediately.

"Ron, when you were born you had a twin."

The four gasped.

Bill was confused, "Dad, why are you telling them about this?"

"It's important."

"I have another brother?" Ron asked.

"No actually your twin is a sister," Molly said softly.

"Her name was Rachel Prewett Weasley," Arthur continued.

"What happened to her?" Fred asked.

"A few days after we brought you home from the hospital we woke up to a loud noise in your bedroom. When we got there you were in your crib alone. Rachel was nowhere to be found. We had large search parties and she was all over the newspapers but there was no sign of her anywhere. Until recently that is."

"Wait did you find her?" Charlie gasped.

"Dumbledore came here earlier today telling us that he had taken a girl to Gringotts to take the lineage test. It was her. They found Rachel."

"When can we meet her?" Ron asked quietly.

"Is she okay?" Ginny asked.

"Who the hell had me baby sister?" Bill questioned.

Arthur held his hands up to silence everyone. "Rachel is physically fine. She will be moving home on Saturday."

Arthur looked at his wife before taking a deep breath, "Most of us have already met her but did not realize it at the time."

"What? Who is it?" George asked.

"It's Haley Potter."

Dead silence.

"I'll kill those Dursley's," Percy surprised everyone by growling.

"Wait!" Bill yelled, "Who here met Haley Potter?" Everyone but Bill and Charlie raised their hands. "Okay then."

"You're sure Dad?" Ron asked.

"Lineage tests cannot be faked."

"Who are the Dursleys?" Charlie asked Percy.

"Petunia Dursley was Lily Potter's sister. Haley went to live with her family when Lily and James died. They abused her."

"WHAT!?" Bill yelled.

Charlie growled through grit teeth, "What did they do to her?"

"She wouldn't tell us much but from what she did tell me I know that they locked her in a cupboard that she used as her bedroom. They would leave her in there for long periods of time without food. They used her like a house elf. She cooked and cleaned for them and would be punished for doing it wrong. She spent her first real Christmas with us at Hogwarts and was surprised to have presents. It was like she thought she didn't deserve them," Percy explained.

"You four are close to her?"

"Yes, she's a great friend," Fred said.

"Huh? My best friend turned out my twin sister. Ironic!"

A couple people chuckled. Arthur said, "She is taking a few days to come to terms with it. Saturday Albus will bring her here. I was hoping you would let her have your room Bill. She will need a place of her own."

"Yeah, of course. I'll stay in Charlie's."

"Thank you. However we may not be living here much longer."

"What do you mean?" Ginny asked.

"We will eventually need to tell people about Haley. When we do people won't leave Haley alone. The Burrow is out in the open. Everyone will come here and bother her. It turns out that Haley has inherited several manors. Dumbledore suggested that we move to one of them. He has also offered us both jobs at Hogwarts and we were thinking about accepting because it would mean that we are all close. Would you five have any problems with that?"

They all shook their heads.

"Good."
