"I need all the volunteers here. Everyone else please leave the room," said Hermione.
It was late March, and Hogwarts was once again preparing for a reunion. Right now, the volunteers who were going to help with the event were having a meeting. Hermione looked over a list of names and called one by one. The two young Malfoys were included this year. This was their parents' reunion, and they weren't missing it. After the jobs were passed out and explained, everyone dispersed.
"This is going to be one of the most important steps in finding out about the past," said Desmond.
"I wonder if Amaryllis Riddle is going to be there," said Adriennd thoughtfully.
"Are you listening to me?" asked Demsond.
"Yeah, of course," she replied. "We have to be alert to every detail and I am going to leave."
"Why?" asked Desmond.
"Because your 'girlfriend' is right behind us."
Desmond turned around to see Marcella there. "She is not my girlfriend," he said through gritted teeth.
"Aha," and Adriennd walked off.
"Hey," said Marcella.
"Good day," said Desmond in his usual manor.
"You are too well mannered," said Marcella, laughing softly. "We'll need to fix that."
Desmond raised an eyebrow.
"You know, you'd make a good Slytherin," she said, looking him over. "No idea why you're in Gryffindor."
"One of life's mysteries," said Desmond.
Marcella stopped walking, looked around them, and then grabbing the sleeve of Desmond's robes, she pulled him to a desolate spot in the castle.
"Ok," she said in a hushed, serious tone, "I hear you and your sister are trying to find out about your parents' pasts. Is that true?"
"Where'd you hear that from?"
"Adrian, who was informed by Adriennd herself."
"We are," said Desmond carefully.
"Camilla, Donatien, Desiderio, and I can help."
"How?" asked Desmond carefully.
"I think we can get the twins and triplets on this too, but I'm not sure," said Marcelaa, half to herself, half to Desmond.
"What are you talking about?"
"How to get information about your parent's pasts!" she exclaimed. "What do we have to go on?"
Desmond told her and she said, "That's all! Your parents are secretive beyond belief. Ok, here's what we do." She lowered her voice again, "We can make a potion to add to their drinks that will put a charm on them that'll allow us to hear in on their conversations. Seeing them every single second won't be a problem. Just hearing is the most important. There have to be important conversations and clues to pick up."
"Ok," said Desmond slowly. "What is the potion and how do we add it in?"
Marcella answered, "Camilla will supply the potion and I'm hoping we can get the triplets to help. They are the greatest pranksters in this school."
"Right. How do we get them to agree to work with a bunch of Slytherins?" he asked smirking.
Marcella rolled her eyes. "Is it a problem with you people that you hate well bred, high ranking people? No, they won't be working for us; they'll be helping you and your sister."
Desmond thought for a moment and then agreed. "I'll talk to them."
"Ok. It's set then. Oh, don't search for us. We'll find you when needed," with that she left.

"Alejandro," said Desmond as he approached one of the redheads.
The boy shook his head in annoyance and said, "I'm Albert."
"Sorry. Look, I need to talk to all three of you," said Desmond.
"One moment." Albert pulled out small chord out of his pocket. He attached it to his ear and then said, "Armand and Alejandro, Desmond needs to talk to all three of us. Gryffindor tower." He turned to Desmond, "They'll be here in precisely, three, two, one."
The portrait hole opened and the two twins entered, surprising Desmond completely.
"Yes?" asked the other two simultaneously.
"I need to ask you a favor," said Desmond.
"What's that?" asked Alejandro.
Desmond lowered his voice and said, "At the reunion, I need you to come up with a way to slip a potion into my parents' drinks."
The triplets stared at him for a moment. They exchanged glances and Alejandro spoke again, "What's in it for us?"
Desmond thought for a moment, then answered, "15 Galleons…"
"Each," added Armand quickly.
"Fine," agreed Desmond.
"We'll get back to you with the plan in a few days," said Alejandro and the triplets walked off.
