I AM SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT, IT WAS KILLING ME TO NOT UPDATE. I would feel so guilty every time i would use my laptop for school. I have had some serious shiznit going on in my life and I just couldnt find the time to sit down and write a chapter. I hope this chapter would make up for it a little bit :/ I did notice that I had 2k before writing this, so YAY! I hope u like this.

:P Oh, and its back in Ruby's POV, just so yah know :)

I woke up the next morning with a banging headache. I looked out the window and jumped to see that it was mid-morning, and school would have started. I leaped out of bed, and lunged for my robes when Sarah burst in, carrying a napkin with 3 chicken legs wrapped inside. I opened my mouth to speak, but she cut in.

"Don't worry. I told everyone you had a cold and wanted to stay in bed." she said, handing me the chicken. "And you didn't miss much. Only Transfiguration homework and we have Herbology after lunch and Sprout never gives us homework." She sat on the edge of my bed. "So, how ya feeling?"

I sighed. "Like I just got hit by a bludger."

Sarah laughed. "I'd expect so. You looked horrible last night. All sweaty and stuff."

"Was it because of that funny dream that I had?" I asked.

Sarah nodded "Yeah, people were lookin' at you funny. The prefect in the corner was flinching something fierce."

"Hmmm..." I murmured. I tried to remember what the dream was about. A missing girl, spells cast, lots of children and some bad people who wanted something.

Sarah stood up at the sound of the bell. "I'm off to Herbology. I'll see ya later." She quickly left, leaving me in the dorm with the chicken, which I wolfed down hungrily.

I wandered down the stairs, looking for my History of Magic essay, thinking I could finish it and hand it in with no excuses. When I got to the bottom, Percy the Prefect was sitting at a table, scribbling on a piece of parchment, signing it, then left it at the table and rushed upstairs, not noticing me coming down.

I knew I shouldnt but I was so curious about what was in the letter. I picked it up and read it, drinking everything in.

Dear Mum,

You might want to sit down for this one.

A first year, Ruby Livingston, who is in Gryffindor had a funny dream last night, and it left me wondering about the night of the 17th October. Why would she be associated with it, you may wonder. I have a strong hunch that she is the missing Weasley. She has the Weasley hair! And she is built like Ron, and has his nose (unfortunately), I don't know why I didn't notice it before. I might be wrong, but I thought you ought to know if it is really her. I won't breathe a word to anyone till you reply, though I have told Ron.

All the best,

Percy

I stood there staring at the letter, mulling it over. After all the years I spent in the Orphanage and in the wild, I had had a family all along? One that loved me? I have a twin! Ron is my twin!

I heard Percy coming down the stairs again, and I dived behind an armchair just in time.

"Hermes will get it there in no time..." Percy was muttering to himself as he climbed out of the portrait hole.

As soon as I heard the Fat Lady Clunk shut, I ran upstairs and got into bed again, thinking about the past I could have had.

——————-THE NEXT DAY——————————-

I woke up at the crack of dawn, even though I had a poor amount of sleep because I couldn't stop thinking about the letter. I got dressed and went down to breakfast with the other girls. As I was tucking into my bacon and hash browns, Celine came over from the Ravenclaw table to talk.

"I'm so glad you are alright now! I missed you, I was sooo lonely!" She said, smiling radiantly. I returned the smile, and said, "Yeah, me too. It sucked being sick, though I slept most of the time."

Celine sighed. "Lucky for you! Transfiguration is such a bore, but McGonagall says I am getting better."

"Wow, praise from her is rare."

She laughed. "Not for you! She thinks you can do no wrong! Anyway, I better get back to my own table now, I haven't finished my sausages. See you in class!" Celine waved and walked away.

After breakfast, I headed off to Potions with Sarah and Celine. We were talking about The Weird Sisters when Snape swept into the dungeon, his black cloak flapping madly.

"Settle down." He said, though there really was no need to say anything, because the class had shut up immediately when the door creaked open.

Snape tapped the blackboard with his wand, and instructions appeared there. "You shall continue with the potions you left to brew from last week. The ingredients you will need are in the cupboard. Start." He turned away from us and looked at the door. We all looked too. A third year stood there, clutching a piece of parchment.

"Sorry to disturb, Sir," he said, "But Ron Weasley and Ruby Livingston need to go see Professor McGonagall immediately."

Oooo! Cliffie! I thought I'd put a little suspense into my returning chapter. I hope you like the letter, it took a lot of thinking over. Comment what you think! Also feel free to message me to remind me to update, because I might forget XD And it would be really cool if you guys could give me some ideas on what I should do after the reunion... I have had a massive brain fart. Cya!!!
