Charlie Weasley and his wife, Ravenna are urgently called back during the battle of Hogwarts against You-Know- Who.

She also has a major secret- a secret that could change the outcome of the War. Can her love with Charlie survive?

Contact made

Later that evening, after her dinner with Harry, Ron and Hermione; the fight between the house elves and every thing else. Ravenna found two minutes whilst Hermione was teaching Ron the piano upstairs, to send a talking Patronus to Charlie and the Weasley's.

"All safe. Staying for a few days to tell him the truth. Will let you know when am on way home. I love you. " she said to her Patronus of a black dog (in memoriam of her father's animagus) before it flew out of the window and off to Otterley Saint Catchpole to the Burrow, her in-laws and her family.

Once it was gone she made her way back up to the drawing room where the trio sat. As she entered, Ron was trying, and failing, to master Fur Elise by Beethoven with Hermione and Harry was sat looking at the Marauders Map and no doubt Ginny's moving figure as she traversed the castle. Ravenna made her way over to him and sat beside him.

"Managed to send your patronus to Charlie?" He asked as he set the map aside, his wand on top.

"Yes, thank you, Harry. I told Ron earlier that I came to see if you were alright, the three of you, but that was a partial lie." Ravenna admitted quietly, glad that in their far corner they were out of earshot of Ron and Hermione.

"Really?"

"Yes, I admit it. I wanted to come and see you. We need to talk." Ravenna smiled.

"But we met at Bill and Fleur's, we barely know each other." Harry said, confused.

"That's a lie too, Harry. I've had to wipe my existence from your memory several times in order to keep you safe. The order never mentioned me either to you, to keep me safe. Hermione doesn't remember me either, for the most part neither does Ron. I wiped them too." Ravenna said sadly.

"Why?"

"In order to keep you safe, Harry. Which I now see was the wrong thing to do." Ravenna admitted.

"Tell me what you wiped. All of it." Harry was upset that secrets had been kept from him but he was not angry with Ravenna because he knew she had tried to keep him safe.

"It's better if I show you..." Ravenna said and raised her wand- Dumbledore's pensieve appearing before them. "He left this in my care, so that when the time was right I could tell you the truth about our lives, Harry and how close we truly are."

"You said, 'Daddy', earlier, who were you referring too?" Harry asked suddenly and Ravenna nodded.

"My first mistake, I shouldn't have said the to you or Hermione. Ron knew. Sirius Black was my father. I am Ravenna Alexina Black Weasley and this, Harry, is our story." She put her wand to her forehead and pulled a string of silver memories from her head and dropped them into the pensieve. She and Harry leant over the pensieve and disappeared into the murky blackness as an image began to form below.
