A/N: Good… what-ever you call 8:43 at night. SJCforever says hi.
superspunky7- You know I love you and it's feels good to have you back. And I am thinking of painting my room blue and only the wall with the doors will be a deep gold. Not bad? I loved your review for Ch. 10. I laughed really hard, but I do agree with you. I don't think you'll like Adrian as much when I explain my plot in the later on chapters… I will send you chapters 16-20 probably tonight. I have rewritten a few things and I want you to take a look at them. Oh, please read my new fic. The Right Choice. I want your opinion.
LateNiteRomance- I'm glad you caught up and just so you know, I update often.
krillball6- I love your dedication. Thank you.
Fear My Butterfly Army- I am very evil…
Don't forget to review.
This chappy is dedicated to my wonderful editor superspunky7! Welcome back!
Oi, it took me like a quarter of an hour to go through my E-mail. Dang. Oh well. Enjoy.

"Are you sure it's going to work?" asked Desmond, after listening to the triplets' plan.
"Yes, you just have to make the potion extremely strong or else it isn't going to work," said Alejandro.
Desmond nodded, "I'll have it to you in an hour."

Jacqueline stood in front of her bed in her room at Hogwarts. She was looking at her old school uniform and kept asking herself if she should go to the reunion. She hadn't spoken to Harry or Ron in ages. Hermione was a must when it came to school.
But, will she be welcomed back?
Also, her kids were up to something.
She felt it.
They had been up to something in the last few months. So, she had to be careful.

The noise in the Antechamber of the castle was enormous. Everyone was excited to return, see old faces, and catch up on life.
Our trio was together again. Harry has become the head in the Auror Department and Ron was working in the Mystical Animal Department.
"So, is she planning to show up?" asked Harry of Hermione. The other shrugged.
Desmond and Adriennd watched the trio from the shadows, seeing Harry Potter for first time in person. They then saw their father and four other men approach the three.
"Oh look who it is," they heard him say. The trio turned to face Draco. "It's Potter and his golden little side-kicks."
The trio smirked and Harry said, "You haven't changed, ferret."
The siblings exchanged glances and silently laughed at their father's nickname, wondering if there was some story attached.
Draco was about to retort when someone called his name. "Draco Malfoy? Is that you?"
Desmond and Adriennd saw a woman with shoulder length black hair come up to the five Slytherins and three Gryffindors.
"Parkinson," said Draco coldly, looking at Pansy.
"It's Carson now," she said.
The brother and sister immediately realized that Donatien was her son.
"I see," said Draco.
Pansy turned to the other four Slytherins, acknowledging each by last name, "Nott, Zabini, Crabbe, Goyle. Same group as ever."
"So the old couple hasn't been in touch? No friendship established what so ever?" asked Ron.
Adriennd and Desmond exchanged glances again as they obtained another new piece of information.
Draco's eyes narrowed and he walked up to Ron, so the two were face to face, "Watch what you say, Weasley."
Ron slightly pushed the Slytherin back, causing surprise to surface on Draco's face. He then noticed the change in the youngest Weasley brother. He wasn't as fearful as he used to be. Ron, had somehow gained more courage over the years.
Crabbe and Goyle immediately took a step forward, but Draco stopped them with a simple hand gesture. He said only one thing before departing, "Watch yourself, Weasley."

Each House entered one after another in groups. The volunteers sat at a table in front of the Staff and watched the procession. So far, Adriennd and Desmond hadn't seen their mother with any of the groups. Amaryllis Riddle also hadn't shown.
"It feels awesome to be back," said Ron.
"You're only saying that because there isn't any work involved," said Harry.
The other shrugged as Hermione rolled her eyes.
They continued talking like everyone else. Ten minutes into the dinner, the doors of the Great Hall opened and Jacqueline appeared. A silence spread over the room as everyone stared at her. Adriennd and Desmond tried to distinguish their mother's house, but she was too far away. But, both were positive that she would be in Slytherin.
Jacqueline stood in the doorway and stared at the room in front of her. Slowly, but surely each table stood up and began to applaud. Jacqueline gasped, but didn't say anything. The siblings watched in awe as to why their mother was treated so.
Jacqueline slowly began to walk and to the young Malfoys' surprise she stopped in front of the trio. A long silence was shared between them until Jacqueline whispered, "I'm sorry for everything."
Hermione, who was on the opposite side of the table smiled, while Harry and Ron didn't say anything. In a few seconds, Jacqueline and the guys exchanged hugs. Applause rang out again, but only from three tables this time.
Neville rose and said, "A toast to the reunited quartet."
"To the quartet," rang out many voices.
"Come on, where are the triplets?" whispered Desmond to himself.
Speaking about the triplets…
Alejandro, Armand, and Albert were insect sized. They were hastily making their way from Draco's goblet to Jacqueline's goblet. Desmond and Adriennd could hear what was going on at their father's table, but their mother interested them more. But, being the size that they were, the triplets couldn't cross the distance swiftly. Soon enough they poured in the potion into the goblet.
Adriennd and Desmond finally had access to both conversations.
"…as it were coming," said Jacqueline.
The siblings heard laughter follow.
"That sure was a hell of a time," said Harry.
"Tell me about it," said Ron, completely comfortable with talking to Jacqueline. "Those games were the most bloody we've played."
"All I know is that I'm not stepping onto a Quidditch Field again," said Jacqueline.
"You have to," said Harry and Ron in unison.
"We're playing Slytherin this afternoon!" exclaimed Ron.
"I understand that," said Jacqueline slowly, "But you must understand…"
"No, you're going and that's final," said Harry.
Adriennd and Desmond didn't understand what they were talking about and everything they said didn't give them any clues. They just had to wait until the two Quidditch games.
Hufflepuff was playing Ravenclaw and Gryffindor was playing Slytherin.
They finally would get to see their father play.
