She slowly creaked open the knob of the front door and hesitantly swung it open.
She gasped; she knew exactly why she recognised the voices.
Her jaw dropped and she stared for a little bit.
In front of her was a group of beaming people, beaming people who where her family the ones that knew about the wizarding world.
She blinked a few times then rubbed her eyes, she was definitely dreaming, she turned back to everyone in the burrow and who where also all beaming at her.
"Oh my god-
Is all she could say.
"Let them in then dear" came Mrs Weasleys voice.
But she was stuck to the spot.
"How-
"what-
"Just let them in" Ginny laughed.
She opened the door fully and her family started spilling in, once they where all in she shut the door and leaned on it for support.
She was numb with shock; she hadn't seen any of them in months.
Everyone eyes where on her, and her grandma was the one that broke the silence she came right up to Constance and embraced her in a hug.
"Constance! You've grown taller".
She laughed, that was such a typical thing for her Grandma to say.
"Oh, I missed you so much" Constance said hugging her back.
He Grandma was a short Mediterranean woman very sweet but had a fiery temper.
Her grandma pulled away and Constance scanned the room, there where at least ten of her relatives here, she quickly ran up and started hugging them all.
But how was this possible? She talked too most of them through owl, but they didn't know the exact location of the burrow, and she hadn't told them let alone invited them.
She stood between the two crowds of people looking between them in disbelief. Then Mrs Weasley spoke up.
"Fred saw your Aunts address on the letter she sent you and came to me we thought it would be nice for you to see your family again".
She looked around and everyone was smiling at her.
"Everyone knew about this?" she squeaked.
They all nodded, and she laughed in disbelief.
"Come on then Constance, you've got some introducing to do!" said one of her cousins.
"Ok ok, sorry if this takes a while" she said.
Everyone here was from her mums' side, she never knew her fathers' side of the family, there was some argument and from what she had been told they where a bit racist and disapproved when her father got together with her mother.
"Ok, so first this is my Grandma, Alessia". Her Grandma smiled at them.
"These are my aunt an uncle Peter and Crissy", she pointed towards a guy with blonde hair about average height, and her mums sister who had curly hair exactly like her mothers, "and these are their kids my cousins, Charline is turning eight this year and Michel is turning elven." She was pointing to her two cousins who were hiding shyly behind her aunts' leg, they both had a mix of brown ringlets with streaks of blonde, they waved shyly.
"And then these are also my aunt and uncle Sabrina and Mirko" she pointed towards her mother's brother who looked the most like her mother his skin was an identical shade, he was tall and had very defined features, his wife her aunt was also tall she had long brown flowy hair.
