~'Spell' out love ~ George Weasley X Reader

- The truth has spoken-

"Where did you say it was again dad!" I shout down to my father from upstairs. "Under my bed. Mind the mess!" My father shouted back up to me while coughing loudly after it.

Long story short. I got my acceptance letter to Hogwarts 5 years ago, but due to my unwell father. I wasn't able to attend.

He suffered from a severe illness, that's caused him to struggle a lot to cope with his everyday life. The illness affects his breathing pattern and can cause major panic attacks.  I decided to take the role of becoming a young carer for my dad and helped look after my little siblings.

Throughout the years of living here, I couldn't help but notice this strange feeling that I don't belong here... even though I've lived here since I remember.

While searching for my dads' inhaler under the bed, I found an old worn-out box hidden underneath the bed.

Curious, I opened up the worn outbox and was met with a long piece of parchment stating it was an adoption certificate. Written down was the details such as my name, my father's name, address and other relevant information. As I scanned through the rest of the sheet, I couldn't help but notice that it was missing something important... the empty part of the sheet was to be signed by someone but it didn't know who.

Continuing to observe the contents inside the box, I found another long piece of parchment that seemed to have stated down similar information from the last one, but there was a difference in the names.

'My real birth certificate?' I asked myself while continuing to scan over the rest of the sheet in my hands.
The name written down on the parchment was 'Y/N Lovegood' and not 'Livingstone'

It caught me off guard but before I could read on any further, my little sister already barged into the room looking down at me with furrowed brows.

"Dads wondering what's taking so long...whatcha got in your hands?" She asked Me while trying to eye the mysterious bit of paper in my hands.

Without thinking twice, I folded up the piece of parchment and placed it back into the box shutting it over and sliding the box back under the bed.

"Awk that? That- was just an old book. Anyways got the inhaler right here." I said while getting up from the floor and showing I had the inhaler in hand.

She looked at me strangely then shrugged before walking out the room singing loudly.

I released the air in my lungs that I hadn't noticed I even kept in before looking down at the inhaler in my hand and thinking...
'I have to ask my 'father' about this.'  before exiting out the room.

Walking downstairs I extended out my hand and gave my dad his inhaler. As I watched him take it I couldn't help but think back to the piece of parchment I found just moments ago. I decided that now wasn't the best time to ask him about it so I decided to wait until later today.

---------▪----------▪-----------▪----------

Later on that night I finally built up enough courage to ask him about the parchments I found.

I took in a deep breath and spoke.
"Dad. Earlier today, you asked me to get your inhaler while trying to find it. I found...a box." Once the word Box left my mouth, my dad's head shot up within seconds and his eyes became wider than before.

"You found the box..." was all he said.
I nodded slowly and came closer to him. He took a deep breath in and patted the spot on his bed for me to sit on.

"A while ago now, you were put up for adoption. I had recently split up with my ex-wife after some...complications. My daughter's, mother no longer wanted contact with them and decided to take her path, leaving us all behind as if we were nothing to her. It was hard explaining to them how they no longer had a mother that loves them or even wants to see them. It felt empty in the house without their mum about and so I thought about it and decided to adopt. That's where you came into the picture..." he paused to look at me with a warm smile.

"I thought that the process of getting you out from the orphanage would take long, but they seemed rather anxious to get rid of you. I didn't question anything since I was just happy to have someone new join the family who can brighten up the wains life...and boy you did."

I smiled down at my lap at the mentioning of me but allowed him to continue knowing that he wasn't finished yet.

Not long after the divorce, I was slowly becoming ill as you already know. After many overnight stays at the hospital, following many useless appointments, the doctors concluded that I had a severe illness that eventually I'll die from. That's when you decided on helping me out although I made it clear to you that I didn't adopt you to care for me, but to bring you into a loving home. With that said you continued to look after me which I'm truly thankful for, Y/n and always will be."

I was overwhelmed at taking in every last bit of information that soon started to make my head hurt...badly.

After the Hogwarts letter was sent out to me, he knew Instantly that I was a witch and completely supported that. He mentioned to me that he had suspicions that I was gifted, due to my odd behaviour. 

Things would happen to me when I was in a bad situation or when trying to protect my younger siblings.

After that long discussion that went on for hours, I smiled sadly. I was truly thankful to be excepted into this loving family, but it's now time for me to start my own life properly.

Since I'm old enough to make my own decisions I told my non-biological dad that I'll be attending Hogwarts this year. Even though he isn't my real dad, being told about my mother's death and being put into an orphanage has made me think of how lonely I would have been without him and adopting me and moving to Scotland was the best thing I could ever have asked for. On the plus side, I found out my real fathers name is Xenophilius Lovegood.

If I was attending Hogwarts this year I had to inform the school. I immediately wrote a letter to professor McGonagall to inform her about my presence this year. Which was going to be difficult since I don't exactly have an owl yet. I guess it's time for some shopping :)
