Chapter 4: Answers?
“Remus. It’s okay to cry, and it’s okay to miss her,” After several minutes, Remus stopped crying and hugged Harry back.
“Thanks, Harry. I feel better now. I tried talking to Sirius and that helped, but I guess, I’ve kept my feelings to myself and the negative ones built up. I feel a lot lighter now that I’ve talked about it to the both of you. Thanks again, Harry,” Remus gave him one more hug before leaving to go to the room he now shared with Sirius.
Harry made his way to his room, disrobed and slid into the bed next to Ginny. As soon as he made contact she turned into him and wrapped herself around him.
‘It’s too much to be a coincidence. After I take Ginny to the twin’s shop tomorrow, I’ll go to Hogwart’s to talk to Professor Dumbledore, and see if he remembers anything. Of course, he probably doesn’t, but I’m sure he wouldn’t have erased all the evidence….who would he trust…McGonagall….no…not any of the…wait a minute…Snape…Of course that would be the answer. I’ll get the answers tomorrow and then maybe Ginny can get to know her birth parents, and Remus and Sirius can get to know their daughter.’ “Goodnight, Ginny. I love you,” Harry murmured into Ginny’s hair.
“..Wuvyachoo..” Ginny said asleep.
*~*\/*~*
“Bye, Remus, Sirius. I’ll see you for dinner tonight. After I drop Ginny off, I’m going to Hogwart’s to talk to the Headmaster. Enjoy your day together,” Harry yelled through the door to Sirius and Remus’s door.
“Ok. Have fun.” Came the answer.
Ginny and he had overslept and so had rushed through their morning routine, not even having time to get in a decent snog.
“WWW, Diagon Alley”, and through the floo they went.

“Ginny! Harry! About time you got here. Mum’s here. George is distracting her with the shop. Well, rush upstairs and put your bag on the sofa. Then come back down and meet us in the store,” Fred pushed her up the stairs after giving her a hug, and then grabbed Harry’s arm and dragged him through the door into the store. “Oi Mum, look who just got here.”
“Harry! How are you, dear?”
“Oh, fine Mrs. Weasley.”
“Molly.”
“Ok, Molly.”
“And how is Sirius?”
“Well, he’s good. He and Remus are doing something together today, so I’m going visiting. First here. Then Hogwart’s.”
“Well, why don’t you come to the Burrow afterwards? Ron and Hermione are both there. So are Bill and Fleur, and even Charlie’s visiting.”
“Can Sirius and Remus come, too? And what about Ginny? Is she visiting friends?”
“Sure they’re invited too. No, she might …Harry James Potter, what is that thing in your mouth?”
“Oh, you mean this,” Harry stuck out his tongue, “It’s a tongue ring.’
“Wicked, When’d’ya get that Harry?” The twins asked together.
“Hey, Mum,” Ginny said from behind them, “Oi, Harry are you showing them your tongue ring? How’d it turn out?”
“Oh, great. How about yours?” Harry asked, once they had all turned to look at Ginny.
“I’m not sure. Would you like to see?” She stuck out her tongue. Harry walked forward, cupped her chin in his palm, and studied her tongue. She lifted it, so that he could see the underside.
“Looks good. What about mine?” He stuck his tongue out at her, flicking it up and down.
“Perfect,” She whispered, and then grabbed him by the back of the head and pulled him down for a kiss.
“Ginny…..” Molly said from behind them.
“Oh, hey mum…Have you met my boyfriend yet? His name is Harry Potter,” She said over Harry’s shoulder.
“So that’s what you did last night...” “You got back so late, we..” “Didn’t see that.”
“Yeah, well when I got back here, I didn’t want to wake you, so I just went to bed.”
“Ginny, just because you’re mad at your father and me, doesn’t mean, you should do things like that.”
Ginny unwound herself from Harry, and walked over to her mother and hugged her, “I’m not mad at you, Mum or Dad. I just wish you had told me, instead of me having to ask you about it.”
Molly hugged her back, and murmured, “We just didn’t know how to tell you.”
“Hey, mum..” “Why don’t you tell…” “..us, what happened..” “…we’d like to know, too…..”
“Dears, I love you, but this doesn’t concern you,” Molly let go of Ginny then, “So are you coming home, or staying here?”
“I think I’ll spend the day with the twins and then come home tonight.”

Harry was lucky in that he caught the Headmaster in the Great Hall along with Snape, but no one else.
“Hi, professors.”
“Harry, how are you my boy? But what are you doing here? You’ve graduated,” Professor Dumbledore asked, “And, I thought I said to call me Albus.”
“Well, Albus, I wanted to know what you know about Ginny Weasley’s adoption and what you know about Remus and Sirius’s daughter?” Harry got a reaction from both men.
Albus sighed, “Alas, I don’t know much. I arranged the adoption of Miss Weasley, and then obliviated myself and all parties involved. And unfortunately, I have no clue about Remus’s child, I wasn’t even aware he had a daughter.”
Before Harry could say anything, Snape injected, “Did you say ‘Ginny Weasley’s adoption and ‘Remus’s child,’ Potter?”
“I guess so,” Harry was about to ask about to ask why when Snape turned on his heel and walked away, yelling, “Close enough. Stay there, Potter,” over his shoulder.
Snape was soon back, carrying his pensieve, which he placed on the head table; he also carried a satchel, which he placed on the table next to it.
“I was wondering if I would ever get rid of these. I’ve had these Memory phials for over 15 years, waiting for someone to say the magic words, but no one did.” He paused, and glanced up at them, as he started pouring them into the pensieve. “Well, come on, I don’t have all day, are we going to look or not?”
“What were the ‘magic words,’ Severus?”
“Well, I woke up one morning about sixteen years ago and there was a note with the phials that said to destroy the note after reading it. Also, to not view or share or destroy the phials until someone close to Lupin and the Weasley’s asked about “Lupin’s daughter”, or about “Ginevra Molly Weasley’s adoption” but I figured Ginny Weasley and Remus were close enough.” He finished pouring the phials into the bowl, grabbed Harry and Albus both, and forced them to look into the pensieve with him.
**/,\ /,\**
*~O~*
Two hours later, the three finished their excursion into the Pensieve. As soon as Harry was clear, he started moving, and talking. “I knew it. Oh, I have to arrange things. Hey, Severus, can I borrow your pensieve,” At the Potion master’s jerky nod, “Thanks, I’ll get it back to you.” He put the memories back into the phials, and packed them back into the satchel, then took it and the pensieve and ran out of the Great Hall, out of the castle, and to the apparition point, where he apparated to just outside of Number 12 Grimmauld Place, because it still had the Anti-apparition wards up as protection. He took the pensieve and memories up to his room and left them on his bed. Then, he went and found Remus and Sirius in the kitchen eating. Or rather, there was food on the table that sat ignored as they kissed.
Harry cleared his throat. “Hey, you lovebirds. Molly’s invited us all for dinner at the Burrow, tonight. So, the good news is we don’t have to eat Sirius’s cooking tonight, bad news is we have to eat it tomorrow.”
It was a sign of Sirius’s distraction that he said, “That’s good. Well see you later, kiddo.” He pulled Remus back towards him for another round of heavy snogging, “Heeeyyyy, I resent that. My cooking isn’t that bad!”
“Oh yeah, then why didn’t you eat that Meatloaf you made last week? Not even as a dog? “ Harry exclaimed.
Harry spent the rest of the day with Remus and Sirius until it was time to go to the Burrow. Harry taking along the Pensieve and memories with him, looking foward to the reactions they would recieve, never anticipating the life-changing news that he would recieve.
