Chapter 18

Violet's pov

Regulus grabbed my wand and put it in his back pocket, he pulled me into his chest. He wiped the tears off my cheek before McGonagall sat me in a chair. Severus, McGonagall, Remus, Sirius, Molly and Regulus stared at Dumbledore dumbfoundedly. "Love, can you please explain to us what you are talking about?" Regulus asked while rubbing my back and cheek. Dumbledore nodded slightly before writing a letter, it better be to my parents. "When Fred called George a baby, I got really dizzy, the room felt like it was spinning. I immediately got a headache, then I saw this bright light, it felt as though I was back in the hospital. I could hear Dumbledore saying that my daughter is alive, my parents have her, our daughter is alive, Reg. Why did you take her?" I explain calmly, looking around the room at my friends and Dumbledore.

Regulus rubs my hand and looks up at Dumbledore, Dumbledore stands up and sits on the front of his desk. "Yes, your daughter is alive and your parents do have her. I took her because Bellatrix was under the impression that she was dead, if she found out she lived. Don't you think the Death Eaters would want her, for surviving the curse. I casted a charm on you once I realized you were pregnant to insure your daughter's safety." Dumbledore explained softly looking between me and Regulus.

Sirius and Remus were holding back tears of joy and anger, as well I. Why would Dumbledore put me through this pain, but at the same time I am glad that she was safe. "I want her. Does she know about us?" I ask, grabbing Regulus' hand. Dumbledore nodded and stood back up. "Violet, do you doubt that your parents wouldn't tell her about you?" He asks with a smile. "She knows about you both, I promise." He spoke once more. Before I could mutter any other word the fireplace alights with green fire.

I noticed my parents immediately, I grabbed Regulus' hand and stood up with him. My parents walk out holding hands with a beautiful girl with long brown hair and grey eyes. I gasp before walking a few steps up. I kneel to the ground and hold out my hand. "Hi, love. I'm your mom and this is your dad." I greet her, gesturing to Regulus, he wipes his tears and kneels down with me. She smiles at us and pulls us into a hug, "I missed you mom and dad." She whispers into our necks. I cry while hugging her tightly, Regulus pulls both of us into him. She lets out a small giggle and looks up at us.

"Hey, pretty girl." Regulus smiles, kissing her head and rubbing her back. "Hi, Dad!" She cheers, wrapping her arms around his neck. I looked at my parents, "What name did you give her?" I ask looking at them. "She has the name you gave her the day you lost her." My mom states smiling at me. Regulus looks at me then back at our daughter, "What? You named her?" He questioned while pulling her in more. "I'm Grace Ivy Black!" Grace states while smiling at us. I pushed Regulus away and opened my arms for Grace to run into them.

She laughs and runs into my arms, I attack her face with kisses. "I missed you pretty girl." I admit in between kisses. She laughs before kissing my cheek as well. "What are we? Rubbish!" Sirius shouts from behind us. "Later Sirius." Regulus laughs before hugging the both of us. Regulus picks up Grace in his arms and helps me stand up, we hug my parents. "Thank you for taking care of her." I whisper into the hug, they smile and kiss Grace's head. I turn to Dumbledore, he walks up to me, with his hands out. "I hope you know just because I have Grace back doesn't mean all is forgiven. You stole eight years of her life from me and you took Harry away. Nothing is forgiven." I state, sternly before walking to the Floo.

Molly, Sirius, Remus, Regulus, Grace and I use the Floo back to the Burrow. Once we stepped through Fred and George hugged me. "We are sorry Vi!" Fred exclaims. "We didn't mean to hurt you!" George cries. "Boys, boys. You didn't I promise, if anything you helped." I comforted them while kissing their heads. "Mom! Who are these people?" Grace asks while looking around the room. "MOM!?" Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, Percy, Charlie, Bill and Arthur shout at once, making Grace and I laugh. I walked over to Regulus and held my arms out for Grace, he turned to the side and held her.
