"Harry I think it's time." Said Ginny Startling Harry a little bit.

"Time for what love?" Ginny gave him a glare.
"Oh Harry you know exactly what it is."Ginny tried to swallow the lump that was forming in her throat. "We need to tell Elena the truth."

Harry frowned, believe it or not this scared him more than facing Voldemort, how would she react?, will she hate them for keeping this secret for so long?, these thoughts scared him more than anything in this world.

"You are right, she needs to know, she has to know, this is who she is, we were wrong in waiting all these years until now but we will not wait anymore, we will tell her tomorrow after the party." Harry stared at his wife's watering eyes.

"You're right Harry, we were wrong in not telling her but Jesus, it's so hard, I couldn't do it." At this time Ginny started crying and Harry hurried fast to hug his wife.

"Don't worry Love, it's going to be alright." Said Harry holding Ginny onto his chest, not believing the time for the truth had finally came.

"Mommy, daddy, is everything alright?, why are you crying?" Said little Albus, both Harry's and Ginny's hearts broke at the sight of their scared children.

"Were you expecting more guests to come Dear?" Asked Molly Weasley turning towards her daughter.

" No, we weren't expecting anybody else, Harry can you check-" Her words cut by another violent knocking, this time scaring the children and making some of them cry.

"Someone please take the children to the kitchen," said Harry graving his wand. " I'll go check who it is."

"A child?! Who would leave a girl in front of a stranger's house?" Asked Ron who had a shocked expression.

"Don't you think they abandon her Harry?" Asked Hermione with a sad look in her face, she couldn't believe how evil some people were.

"I don't know 'Mione, they left a letter but I can't read it, it's in Spanish." Harry took out the letter trying to figure out what it said when suddenly Fleur jumped.
