Four years later.

Abigail no longer remembers her parents, nor the night Albus Dumbledore picked her up, as far as she was aware she was a Weasley, just her blonde hair came from far down the Weasley line. Molly had given birth twice since Abigail was around.

Ron came first, he is nearly three years old and little Ginny is two in August.

"Bill!" Yelled Abigail as he walked in, his hair had started to just poke past his shoulders and underneath were a few ginger dreadlocks "Bill c'mere" she giggles as he walks over and scoops her up.

"What's wrong Abby?" She pulls her hair back to show a small blonde dreadlock starting to form along with the rest of her mini dreadlocks "finish it!" Bill laughed and began to finish off the dreadlock.

"Mum! Bill is messing with Abby's hair again!" Yelled Percy, Abigail's head snapped in Percy's direction "shut up goody two shoes!" She hissed causing Percy to frown and stomp off.

Bill laughed and high five Abigail "you know what Bill?" Bill shakes his head "what?" Abigail grinned "you're the bestest big brother ever!" Bill grinned and hugged Abigail close "and your the coolest little sister ever" she grinned at him and then they grabbed there broomsticks.

Last Christmas Abby had nagged and nagged and nagged for a broomstick, even though she was only seven her magic had long since kicked in, she was also a brilliant flyer.

Molly and Arthur wondered when she started at Hogwarts would she try out for a spot on the quidditch team for which ever house she is sorted into.

"I'll totally kick your ass at quidditch!"

"Abigail Rose Weasley! Less of the language missy, your supposed to be a little lady!" Shouted Molly from an upstairs window. Abby giggled to her self.

On her team it was Fred and on the other was Bill and George, Fred tossed the quaffle to Abby and she caught it with ease, laying low to her broom she sped past George and Bill, then threw the quaffle through the centre hoop.

"Yes!" She did a 360 circle on her broom with a cheer.

"Great goal Ab's!" She grinned and zoomed back to Fred "you know Abby when you go to Hogwarts, I think you'd make a good Seeker or a Chaser!" She nodded at Bill.

After an hour or so of playing Quidditch, Abby and The boys had gotten hungry and went inside to see that Molly had put out a spread for lunch, sandwiches, pie, crisps, chips, cake and lots of fresh juice. Everyone helped themselves and then sat down with a plateful.

Charlie soon came in too "so Charlie do you think you'll do good this year in quidditch?" He chuckles "we always do great in Quidditch Ab's" Abby grinned and continued to eat her lunch.

"Abby!" She put her empty plate in the kitchen sink and skipped to the bottom of the stairs "yes mummy?" Molly stuck her head over the banister "fancy doing a big favour for mummy?" The blonde infant nodded "yes!"

Molly smiled and used magic to lower a bag down the stairs "would you be a darling and take this to daddy at the ministry? Use the floo network?" Abby took the bag and nodded quickly "I'll be back soon then mummy!" Abby placed the bag down before pulling on her small black cloak.

Once she was situated in the fire place Bill handed held out the pot of floo powder and she clearly said "Arthur Weasley's Office" she soon zoomed from the Weasley's home fireplace and flew out of another.

"what in the name of-" Abby sneezed and stood up "Afternoon Daddy!" Arthur stood up and chuckled "Afternoon Abby, what can I do for you?" Abby stood up and held his bag out "Mummy said you forgot it this morning"

Arthur grinned and took the bag "I did indeed thank you for bringing me it" Abby nodded proudly "well since you are hear Abby want to help me at work today?" Abby nodded quickly "ooo yes please daddy!" Arthur picked up the infant.

She grinned as he took her from his office and around the ministry "and who is this little lady?" Arthur turned around to see Amos Diggory "Afternoon Amos, this is Abby one of my daughters" Amos nods "Lovely to meet you Abby"

Abby smiled "Nice to meet you too Mr Diggory" Amos looked at Arthur puzzled on how she knew his last name but they hadn't said it and Abby giggled "it's one of my powers, you also work for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures don't you Mr Diggory?" Amos smiled at the little girl.

"I do indeed, want to come and see what I have to do while your father does his work?" Abby nodded and looked up at Arthur "Can I daddy? Pleaseeeeee! I promise I'll be good for Mr Diggory!" Arthur couldn't say no to the little girl and agreed, setting her on her feet she took Amos' hand and followed him, while Arthur went back to his office and sent a letter to Molly saying that he'd look after Abby for the rest of the day.

Abby watched as Amos explained the three categories of his Department "so there's beasts, beings and spirits?" He nodded "yes and then we deal with Goblin and Centaur Liaison offices" Abby nodded and listened intently "you're very clever Abby, how old are you?" She looked up "I'm seve years old, soon I'll be eight " she grinned "wow only a few more years you'll be able to start Hogwarts?"

She nodded vigorously "what house would you like to be in?" She pondered for a moment "Hopefully Gryffindor, but Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw would be good" Amos nodded "Slytherin's not an option then?" She shook her head "No, because my big brother Bill said that when you're sorted into Slytherin most of them turn out to be Death..Death-" she couldn't remember the name.

"Death-Eaters?" She nodded "that's it, those people who follow Voldemort" Amos gasped "he-who-shall-not-be-named Abby" Abby shrugged "Fear of a name only increases the fear of the being...I'm not scared of him, nor shall I ever be"

Amos grinned "So you're Smart and Brave..you sound like a Gryffindor too me" she giggles.

A small yawn passed her lips and she slumped back into the arm chair she was sat in. After a few moments the child was asleep, Amos smiled and Arthur walked into his office "She's literally just fallen asleep Arthur"

Arthur smiled and carefully picked her up "thank you Amos, for looking after her" Amos shook his head "it was a pleasure, you've got your self a smart and brave one there Arthur"

Arthur nodded "if only she was actually mine.." Amos looked confused "I wondered why she didn't have the traditional red hair..if she isn't yours who is she?" Arthur frowned "Albus brought her too us when she was two, her mother was Rose Jackson and her father Regulus Black" Amos nodded "I thought the Jackson family had been murdered years ago?"

Arthur nodded "so did we, turns out her mum had been on the run since Regulus was murdered.." Abby began to stir against Arthur's shoulder "I should get her home, still need to bathe and feed her" Amos nodded "you can use my floo network of you want, it's still connected to yours"

Arthur nodded appreciatively "thank you Amos" Arthur juggled his bag and Abby in one arm and with the other threw the floo powder down "The Burrow"

The hands on the clock changed, Abby and Arthur turned to the Home sign and Molly walked up to the fireplace as Arthur stepped out "she's all tuckered out...she's been with Amos all afternoon learning about the regulation and control of magical creatures" Molly chuckled.

"Has she eaten much today? I don't have the heart to wake her?" Molly nodded "oh she's eaten alright, none stop this morning and then lunch time" Arthur chuckled "she's a growing girl Molly" molly nodded "don't I know it"

Arthur placed his bag down and Molly kissed the top of Abby's head whispering a soft goodnight before Arthur took her to bed. After using a spell to change her into her pyjamas, he tucked her in and left the night light on "sleep well Abigail.." With that he left the small child to sleep and hopefully have fun filled dreams.
