We planned and plotted for the next few weeks. Snape had no idea. Christmas and exams were coming up soon. George invited me over to his house for the holidays. My mum owled me back and said it would be okay. I started to study hard for exams. A boy in Slytherin named Greg came up to me and asked if he could study with me. I like studying by myself so I turned him down. He asked a couple more times but eventually gave up.

The prank was set up for after the holidays. The exams came and went. I passed everything and just barely passed my charms exam.

I finally finished packing. The train would be leaving shortly so I grabbed my bag and headed out to go find the twins. Suzie, Daniel and Penny were all staying here for the holidays so I wished them a quick happy Christmas and headed out of the portrait.

I saw two redheads standing side by side in a crowd of students trying to get to the train.

"George, Fred" I yelled. They turned around at the sound of their names. Once they saw me they headed towards me.

"Hey Sonny" George said.

"Hey" I said "how did your exams go?"

"Okay I guess. Fred did great but I melted my cauldron in potions"

I patted his arm. "There's always finals"

"Yeah and I'll probably need a new cauldron then too." He said.

I laughed. Poor George.

We got on the train and searched for a compartment. Once we found one we quickly claimed it and got settled. George and Fred sat on one side and I sat on the other. I fell asleep while they played a shaky game of wizard's chess.

I woke up once the train stopped. I grabbed my bag and we headed to the platform.

Once we got off the train a short and stout woman with red hair came up to us followed by a tall man also with red hair.

"George, Fred, Percy, Charlie!" She got them into a big group hug. I stood there awkwardly as they embraced.

The red headed man watched her. He caught my eye and raised an eyebrow.

"Molly seems like we have a tag along." He said.

The woman who apparently was named Molly let go of her boys and turned towards me.

"Now who are you deary?"

"I am Sonny Munroe" I stated.

George and Fred immediately piped up.

"Mum this is the girl we were telling you about in the letters who you said it was okay if she came over for the holidays." George said.

"If I am intruding I can call my mum and get her to come pick me up." I said.

"No, no sweetie. Its fine I just forgot." She said. I nodded. I followed along as we went pass the barrier and into the train station.

We got into a couple cars and drove off. We stopped at a very tall house in the country. I grabbed my bag and followed the family. Once we got in Fred and George dropped their bags and raced into god knows where.

"Fred George you better come and get your bags because I am not picking them up!" Yelled Mrs. Weasley. She clapped her hands and looked at me. "You are going to be sharing a room with my youngest." She turned to the person who I am assuming was Percy and said "Go get Ginny!" He nodded and ran up the stairs. A little bit later a young girl about 7 or 8 came down followed by Percy.

"Hi I'm Ginny. Who are you?" She held out her hand. I took it.

"My name is Sonny. I'm a friend of your brothers."

"Which ones?"

"George and Fred" She nodded.

"Here come with me I'll show you to where you'll be sleeping." I followed her up the stairs and to her room. I placed my bag on the bed opposite of the one she sat on.

"So what house did you get placed in?" she asked.

"Hufflepuff" she just nodded. I jumped when I heard a bang. Her eyes lit up. She quickly ran downstairs and I followed her.

Once I caught up she was hugging a tall boy with the same red hair and blue eyes. He caught my eye and I blushed.

"Now who's this? I don't remember mum having another girl."

"William Arthur Weasley don't ever talk about me that way." I heard her yell as she came around a corner. She had a smile on her face though.

"Ma" he said and hugged her. He let go and looked at me again.

"Now who is this?" he asked.

"This is Sonny Munroe" she said.

"Cool, my name's Bill. Which of my brothers dragged you here?" he asked me.

"The pranksters" I said.

"Ah now have they exploded anything in the school."

"Just Filch's door"

He smiled and nodded. We stood there in awkward silence until George and Fred came racing through with a very angry Percy behind them.

"I'll get you two" He yelled as he ran past. I giggled and shook my head.

"Are they always like that?" I asked.

"Yeah just wait until we open the crackers. They make their own and switch it with the ones we have. Terrible mess." He said. I nodded and we stood there in an awkward silence.

I decided to end the awkwardness and see if there was something for me to do. I wandered into the kitchen and found Mrs. Weasley making multiple things at once.

I cleared my throat so as not to scare her. She turned and smiled when she saw me.

"Do you need help?" I asked softly.

"No dearie I am fine. Why don't you go see what Fred and George are up to?" I nodded and walked into what I assumed was the living room. Charlie and Mr. Weasley were in conversation while George and Fred were playing wizard's chess. Ginny and Bill were talking and Percy was reading a book. I went and sat down by George and Fred. So far Fred was winning.

"Check" George said. The queen got up and knocked the pawn over.

Fred grinned slyly.

"Queen to e3" (I do not know anything about chess so don't say anything if I get it wrong!). His queen moved to e3 and knocked his queen over. He had a big grin on his face. "Checkmate"

George looked like a fish out of water.

"Maybe next time mate." He shook hands with his twin. Then he looked at me. "Wanna play?" I shook my head no. I knew nothing about chess.

He shrugged his shoulders he turned to a boy about 9.

"Hey Ron you want to play chess." He asked.

"Sure" Ron shrugged his shoulders and started to play.

"Dinner" Mrs. Weasley said. We all went to sit in the dining room.

We ate in mostly silence. Until Mr. Weasley asked me a question.

"So Sonny who's your mum?" he asked.

"Uh Connie Aston" I said. Mrs. Weasley was taking a sip of her pumpkin juice and started choking on it. Mr. Weasley's jaw dropped and Bill, Charlie and Percy were just as shocked.

"Did I say something wrong?" I asked.

"No dear no it's just we haven't heard that name in some time." Mrs. Weasley said.

"Huh?" I shook my head confused.

"Uh we should probably tell you what we're talking about" Mr. Weasley said.

"That would be helpful" I said.

"Well you see your mother was a good friend of ours when we went to Hogwarts. Dated fine young men. Except for one of them." Mr. Weasley said.

"Who was that?" I asked.

"Lucius Malfoy" He sneered.

"Who?" I asked.

"One of the foulest and meanest students there. He became a death eater. Never liked him but your mum thought he was a fellow who needed a good girl to change him. None of us ever thought he would change her." I shook my head this wasn't possible. He continued.

"It was just before the end of our seventh year. She got together with him and we didn't see her since." He finished. He looked at me again. "Who's your father?" he asked.

"Richard Munroe a muggle from America"

"Does he live with you?"

"No, he died when I was three"

"Can I see a picture? I mean of you your mum and him."

"Why what are you getting at?" I was concerned now.

"Arthur leave it alone you're probably over thinking it. It would never be her. Just because we never saw her again after that." Mrs. Weasley said.

"What are you talking about?" Now I was scared.

"Nothing sweetheart" She turned to her daughter "Why don't you all go up to bed I have to talk with your father"

I followed the kids up to the rooms. We all crowded in Ginny's to talk.

"What were they talking about?" I asked them.

Ginny, Ron, George and Fred all shrugged their shoulders.

Percy, Bill and Charlie looked guilty.

"Please tell me" I pleaded with them. I was scared and worried. What were they talking about? What exactly happened to my mum? Why did he want a picture?

Charlie and Percy walked out without saying anything. Bill just shook his head.

"Bill what were they not telling me? What exactly happened to my mum?" I felt tears coming.

"All I know is that your mum was their friend and after she went out with Malfoy something bad happened and they never saw or heard from her again. They never even knew she had a daughter. I'm sorry I can't tell you more." He said.

"It's okay I understand. I'm just confused." I put my head in my hands. I felt tears coming. Suddenly I felt arms come around me. I looked up and saw George. I hugged him back and started to cry. If they were getting at what I thought they were getting at then I didn't know what to do.

Muhahaha I will end it there. That preview is when she is in her third year. I was going to put it in this chapter but when I got writing I thought it would best suited for later. Review if you want to find out what they were getting at. Five reviews at least please. And sorry for the long wait. My mom banded me from the computer. I promise to update faster.
