The Three Weasleys

Truth be Told

The day's moved on but the three eleven year olds didn't give up. They tied searching the library but came up with no logical explanation as to why the three of them looked so alike. The best they got was that Laura was related to them but even that didn't make much sense to them. They tried interrogating Bill again but got nothing out of it. Then they tried Charlie, the second oldest Weasley, ten they tried asking Cedric but still, nothing. It got closer and closer to the end of the school year and the three of them were even more sure that Laura was, in fact, related to them. Because it can't be a pure coincidence that they look almost exactly a like AND have the same birthday. So, once the school year ended and they got back to platform 9 3/4 they ran over to their parents. Laura grabbed her mum by the hand and started pulling her in the direction of the Weasleys, "come on mum! You should meet my friends!" "Alright Laura. Settle down." Meanwhile Fred and George each had one of Mrs Weasley's hands and they were pulling her in the direction of the Diggorys. "Mum hurry up! You need to met our friend!" Eventually Mrs Diggory and Mrs Weasley collided. "Oh, sorry" they said in unison. But once they looked up and saw who they had bumped into they tried to usher their respective children along. "Come on Laura. Where are those friends you wanted to introduce me to?" "They're right here mum. Meet Fred and George Weasley." Mrs Diggory put on as convincing a smile as she could, "hello boys. It's nice to meet you." Fred and George looked over to their mum. "Mum this is Laura Diggory. Even though she sure doesn't look like a Diggory much. Does she?" Fred said. "Yeah," continued George "she looks quite a bit like us doesn't she mum?" The boys gave their mother a questioning look. "Hey mum!" Laura said "guess what? I even have the same birthday as them! What a coincidence." Mrs Diggory didn't reply to her daughter. She turned to Mrs Weasley and said quietly enough the the children didn't hear, "Molly, you have to tell them. They clearly know something. Or they're just suspicious. They'll keep dropping hints and questioning until you answer." Mrs Weasley nodded. They turned back to the three children in front of them now with identical questioning looks plastered on their faces. They clearly wouldn't wait any longer. They wanted and answer right then and there. Mrs Weasley took a deep breath and knelt down in front of them so she'd be eye level with the three of them. "Yes, you three are related" "really?!" They said in unison. "Yes really" Mrs Weasley continued. "Laura you are not a Diggory by blood. You were born a Weasley" "What?" Laura asked. "Fred and George are not twins. They're triplets. You're the third one." "But why...why did you give me away? Didn't you want me?" "Of course we did. It's...well the reason you gave away is something you'll find out when you three are older." The boys looked shocked and Laura was shocked with a little bit of hurt. Mrs Diggory tried to reassure Laura, "Laura, Mrs Weasley was so upset the night she gave you to us. But like she said, the reason is something you'll find out when you're older"
