Rabastan looked up from his paperwork when his door opened and a voice determinedly said, "We need to talk."
He stared at the young woman and knew instantly who she was. Even though he hadn't seen her since she was a baby, he still knew the face. He laughed nervously. "Don't say that. When women say that, everything goes black, and I wake up surrounded by body parts."
Audrey Weasley, wife of Percy Weasley didn't look amused. And then he found out why she wasn't amused. "I know you're my biological father."
His forced smile fell from his face. "Oh."
"Mom didn't tell me. I discovered it by myself. How could you leave us?"
Rabastan swallowed. "I had no choice. If my brother found out about you and your mom, he would have killed you. I did it to protect the two of you."
"What about when the first war was over?"
Rabastan stared at his desk. "I couldn't take the chance in case Voldemort was able to come back."
"And after the second war when everyone knew he was gone for good?"
"Too much time had passed. I knew Cynthia, your mum, had married. You had a father already. I didn't want to invade your life after so many years out of it."
"Did it not matter what I might want? My dad is great, but you were my father, and you gave up so much to protect me. I wanted to get to know you."
He looked into her eyes, eyes that were so much like his own. "Is it too late now?"
She smiled. "It's never too late. Hello, I'm Audrey Weasley, your daughter."
"Hello, I'm Rabastan Lestrange, your father."
