Marianne's pov
As the hours passed, and the house grew quiet, I assumed everyone was asleep and so I descended the staircase to the kitchen to grab a coke. To my surprise, father was there, enjoying a glass of wine with the window that overlooked our quiet street, open. He must have felt my eyes on him as he turned around.
"What are you doing here, at this hour?"
"I only left my room cuz I thought everyone was asleep"
"Go back to your room," he ordered. Father never ordered me around so I thought it rather odd.
"I'll get what I came for first," I said, just as firmly as he had. I wasn't one to be ordered around.
"Don't get on my nerves, kid," he warned.
"Relax, dad," I said as I grabbed a Diet Coke. "I'll just go back to my room and pretend that I don't exist, just like I have always had"
"You sure they won't realize you're here?"
"Don't worry," I reassured him. "Though, it took some time to get used to it, you have nothing to worry about, now, that I've been doing this for several years"
"Good"
As I turned to leave, I wanted so badly to scream at his face. How dared he! After everything I'd done for him. After putting myself in danger just to get him out of Azkaban, after... It didn't matter to him. My sacrifice didn't matter because he didn't even know me that well. It wasn't like he'd ever tried to be included in my life.
I had reached my room and my frustration, my anger towards my dad, my aunt, my god's-damned self was boiling hot inside me. Before I had realized it, I had slammed my door sat.
Shit.
I only realized what I'd done when that brunette spoke.
"What was that?" She asked no one in particular.
"It came from downstairs," replied Ginny.
Fuck
I locked my door and backed away, hoping they would ignore the incident. But when had my wishes been -ever- heard to do so now?
I heard their footsteps tepidly descending the stairs until they reached my floor. They slammed all the doors open until they stopped in front of mine. Someone tried to come in but failed since I'd locked the door.

"Locked," announced Ron.
"Stand aside, Ronald," said Hermione.
By now, everyone was gathered behind my door, wondering what the fuss was all about.
"What's going on here?" father demanded, knowing better than anyone what was behind..
"We heard a noise coming from that room," Harry replied.
"Guys, just ignore it and go to bed," dad casually said. "It's probably old Kreacher."
"Did master called Kreacher?" The house elf asked.
"Oh well," dad laughed nervously.
Despite being able to only hear what was going on, I knew everyone was staring at dad.
"You're not hiding anything in there, are you, Sirius?" Molly said suspiciously.
"That's bullshit," dad said defensively in a way that radiated his guilt.
"Hermione," Molly called. "Go ahead."
The girl's voice was nice and clear as she said, "Alohomora."
I only heard the gasps and the door opening as I had closed my eyes. Once I opened them, they were all indeed staring at me.
"Oh. Merlin's. Beard." Laughed George.
Hermione scanned me from head to toe and then turned to the obviously amused twin to ask, "what's the matter, George?"
"We'll, it looks like Fred just won that bet"
"WHAT?!" Demanded Hermione, glancing once again at me and then at the twins. "Is he telling the truth, Fred?"
"Yes," he said. Our eyes then locked and he was smiling lightly. "Hey, Ginger," I said with a genuine smile on my own face. "So, what's she doing here, Sirius?" Molly cut in.
I had been feeling father's eyes piercing holes onto me. As I turned towards him, he knew that telling the truth was inevitable. He sighed in resignation and said in a stern voice, "everyone, this is my daughter. Marianne"
"You have a daughter?" Asked Molly surprised. "And you didn't bother to mention this to any of us?"
"Molly, let's go downstairs," uncle Remus said cautiously. "This is not the place to discuss this"
And then the adults left us getting to know each other while they would discuss a very unexpected and obviously concerning topic; me.
