Lucy had gone on her own way after an awkward meeting between her mother and Remilda. Then Hermione went on her way as well after her parents said thank you to the Weasley's for bringing them to the platform to get Hermione. Then they said farewell to Harry too, Remilda assured him that she would come to visit. That left a Remilda, Raelyn, Ron, and Ginny to go back to the burrow where George said her father was waiting.

"Do you think you'll still call your dad..." George paused as they approached the Burrow, a few steps behind Rae who was walking with Ginny and Ron behind Molly and Arthur who had charmed each of the trunks to float to the burrow. "your dad?"

Remilda nodded, "I think so." she replied, "Is he okay?" she asked, "After everything that happened to him...Rae was saying last night that it was possible..."

George shook his head, "No, no, he's fine." he replied, "Really, he is." he assured her as they stepped into the house behind the others.

       Remilda felt her eyes widen at the sight of everything in the burrow. It wasn't like anything she had ever seen before in her life. It was amazing. There was a long table, and at the sink there was a charmed rag slopping around in soap water and was scrubbing a few dish that bounced just above the water. Then there was another rag drying a bowl. Then at a armchair facing the living area there was a basket of yarn and two needles were swiftly working at another sweater like the one that was on the very bottom of Remilda's trunk. Raelyn looked just as amazed as she looked up the stairs to the other floors of the house.

"It's a bit tight," Molly sighed heavily.

"Won't be for long," Fred Weasley chuckled from his seat on the couch in the living area, "Diagon Ally has some cheap places listed," he said.

"Diagon Ally?" Remilda echoed.

"For the joke shop," George replied, "we think we'll be able to have the shop and all open by August at least."

Remilda smiled up at him for a moment, "Already? That's amaz-"

"Dad!"

       Raelyn quickly pulled off her bag and started running up the stairs. Remilda peered up them and saw that on the next floor, Jacob Potter was waiting for them to see him. His brown hair had gotten a bit shaggy, and he now sported a short beard. And he didn't look nearly as sickly as he had in that vision where he had told her to open the locket. Remilda quickly pulled off her bag as well and dropped it on top of the trunks on her way past them as she hurried to join Raelyn on the stairs (which were crooked and creaked loudly with each step). Raelyn got to the top of the stairs and quickly pulled Jacob into a tight hug, and his arms were wrapped tightly around her, so tight that it was like they were both holding onto each other so they didn't get separated again.

       As Remilda got near them, Jacob let go of Raelyn with one arm and used it to welcome Remilda into the hug. Remilda hadn't noticed the burning tears that had begun to build up in her eyes until the poured out onto Jacob's cloak. It had been her fault anything had happened in the first place to him.

"You're alright," Raelyn sighed with relief, "I'm so glad you're alright." she said, as she took a step back, "You are alright, aren't you?"

Remilda took a step back as well, then she quickly used her hands to wipe away any excess tears.

Jacob nodded, "Perfectly fine," he smiled, "are you two alright?" he retorted, "It sounds like quite the year...Fred and George have been telling me all about it."

Raelyn scoffed, "You don't even know the half of it..."

Remilda was quiet for a moment, she didn't care if the year they had just had was absolutely crazy. "I'm just glad you're okay," she said as she quickly hugged him again, "I'm so sorry." she said quietly as he hugged her back, "It's my fault that all of this happened..."

"No, no," he sighed, "it's not your fault." he stated, "It's my fault for not telling you sooner," he said simply, "but now it's over. I'm okay, you both are okay," he sighed as Remilda took a step back, "Harry's okay. Everyone is fine..."

"Harry's really upset," she said quietly, "about Sirius..."

      Jacob sighed heavily and glanced down at the ground. He was quiet for a moment, he and Sirius had been friends. And chances were that Jacob never got to say goodbye to him.

"So when can we go home?" Raelyn asked, quickly changing the subject.

Jacob looked downstairs as the door to the burrow opened and shut, "We still have some figuring out to do about that."

       Remilda looked downstairs to see who had arrived. In walked the woman from the Ministry of Magic. The one who had gotten Remilda away from that death eater. Her brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail that had begun to fall out. She wore a dark red cloak too and in her hand she held a broomstick.

      The three of them walked downstairs, and the tension became so tangible that Remilda probably could have cut it with a knife.

"Jacob."

"Esmerelda," Jacob replied coolly, trying to not let things remain too awkward. "it's good to finally see you again."

"Right back at you," Esmerelda said simply.

"Girls," Jacob sighed heavily after a moment, "this is my sister, Esmerelda."

       Remilda stared at him and then looked at her. She did have the same eyes and hair color. But that was it, that was the only similarity between between them.

"Well," Esmerelda said awkwardly, "it's, uh, it's nice to finally meet you two. Shame Harry's not here."

"Sister?" Raelyn repeated, "We have an aunt?" she asked, "One you didn't care to tell us about?"

      Suddenly the joyful reunion was over, and yet another secret came out. Another one that their father had kept from them, from Raelyn. She had just gotten to the point of being able to accept the secret she learned about Raelyn.

"Don't be mad at your dad," Esmerelda said quickly, "I left, spent a lot of time in Spain...he and James thought I was dead."

"So why'd you come back?" Remilda asked curiously.

"Dumbledore had asked Charlie Weasley to start recruiting internationally, he found me and told me what was happening," she began to explain, "so, here I am..."

"So what are you doing here?" Raelyn asked, "Are you coming to live with us or something?" she asked, and then taking another step back from her father.

"Actually, you two are going to be going to live with her."
