A/N: So in this chapter I'm not going to concentrate a lot on Adriennd (even though there will be some nice dialog here and there), I'm mostly going to center my attention on Jacqueline and Desmond.

batbones- You'll find out who William is and I probably won't update very soon… two weeks minimum.

krillball6- Yes, there were many cliffys in the last chapter, but this chapter will have a huge one. You know me.

ErikandChristine- No, the pendant has nothing to do with it, yet… the mystery guy is evil… that's all I'm saying.

Now, quoting my wonderful friend SJCforever, each part of 'this chapter picks off directly where the last chapter left off.'

I've had a stoke of pure genius in this next part about Desmond. It ties in perfectly with where I wanted to take Diana and Desmond and Jacqueline and William. Muhahaha. I just love the name William. It makes think of so many different things…

By Halloween, everyone in school new about the new couple; Diana and Desmond. For those children who new of the age long feud between Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy were surprised to see their children together. Most suspected that the fathers did not know anything of it for, Jacqueline had gone with no action. In truth, Jacqueline hadn't had the time to notice anything the kids talked about, for she was too busy teaching, grading, and keeping track of her visits to the opera and its personas. There was probably only one person in the entire school that found the match disagreeable… Camilla Nott.

"Hello, Camilla," said Desmond, passing her on his way out of the library. She immediately fell into step and he continued. "So, is your family coming for dinner this weekend?"

She didn't answer, causing him to glance at her. She had a tranquil expression, but he had known her for too long.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

She stopped walking and turned to face him. "What's your problem?" she asked instead.

"Excuse me?" Desmond frowned slightly.

"You foolish boy, you have no idea what I'm talking about do you?"

Desmond raised an eyebrow, his expression more mused than perplexed. "Yes, I have no idea what you are talking about."

"Do you have any idea what you have done? By dating Diana you have upset so many balances…"

"So that's what this is about," remarked Desmond, his expression accepting a bit more of a serious look.

"Yes! This is exactly what this is about. Do you understand that your father will murder you if he ever finds out you are dating a Potter? And if her father finds out, oi, both of them will be dead. Your mother won't save your pretty little face, for she seems to be occupied with her own things…"

She took a breath during which Desmond asked, "You finished." Camilla paused and then concluded that she was. "Good. Now listen. Do you think I haven't thought about this? I know my father will be against this, but I am willing to sacrifice that and give it a chance. Camilla, out of all of the people I thought you would understand this the most," he said heatedly.

Camilla lowered her eyes and smirked. "I understand, Desmond," she said softly. Oh, I am gonna regret doing this…she thought.

"Then what are the lectures for?" Desmond asked, looking at her intently.

He never received an answer as Camilla pressed her lips against his. To his surprise he found that instead of pulling away, his arms circled her waist. Only a few moments later did they pull away. Their attention was immediately brought to a heavy thud, several feet away.

Oh, no… thought Desmond, as his eyes shined with worry.

Diana witnessed the kiss and the thud was her dropping the books she was carrying. Tears were in her eyes and before turning to run away only a name was wasted upon her lips, "Desmond."

A/N: Ok, to me, that sounded very, VERY cheesy. I don't know… I think it is. Anyway, on to Adriennd.

Adriennd stood shocked as she looked at her grandfather. Lucius Malfoy, now she understood the familiarity. She thought that Adrian was going to present her with something nice, but in truth, he put her in danger and a horrible situation. Her grandfather was a convict and the other wizards were probably the others who escaped Azkaban. She took a step back, but something in Lucius's eyes made her stop moving.

"Ah, Adriennd, we meet at last."

His voice was cold and curt, but his eyes were alive and shinning brightly as though he had won something. From that moment Adriennd understood that she didn't like anything about her grandfather and could see why her parents didn't talk much about him. She also understood that if she would remain to long with him she would fall under his influence. Silent she remained and that made Lucius's eyes darken a bit.

Adriennd noticed that and immediately said something, "It's a pleasure to meet you, sir."

Lucius smirked as he saw the teachings of his son and Jacqueline come forth. He knew Adriennd was terrified of seeing him and wanted to get away quickly, but being a Malfoy, her emotions didn't shine through. The elder Malfoy knew he had to act fast, or else he would lose any trust that was still there for him. He glanced at Adrian for the next action and the other nodded and took Adriennd by the arm, who seemed to be in a sort of trance.

"How about you and your grandfather talk?" he said softly, but with command in his voice. Lucius followed to a couch in a far corner and sat down by Adriennd. "I'll be back to check on you in a little while."

He was gone and he had left her all alone, scared and unprotected. She was now sitting across a man who had never seen before and who wasn't looked lightly by her parents. What worried her most was that her thoughts seemed to be under a veil of drowsiness.

"Now, tell me about your life, Adriennd, for I am sure you know about mine," said Lucius softly and cunningly.

Adriennd kept staring at her hands, battling to not give up the little control she had over herself. "Er…"

Lucius took the opportunity, "I presume you're living at the Manor with your brother?"

Adriennd nodded and she didn't even consider the question of how he knew about Desmond.

"Do you two fight a lot?"

"Here and there, but what siblings don't." The boldness of her answer surprised her and she continued, "No, I usually fight with mum. We don't see eye to eye."

"Ah," said Lucius in his usual manner. "I know how it can be talking to her. She's too hypocritical for her own good. How is your father, though? Well, I imagine."

"Superb. I think he works too much, though. He's always in meeting somewhere, never in one place for too long. I sometimes feel bad that maybe he isn't getting enough rest or something, but there's nothing I can do."

"Talk to him," said Lucius, surprising himself with his comment.

Adriennd finally looked up and became paralyzed by his intent glare.

"Advice him to take a night off to enjoy something."

Adriennd nodded, still keeping eye contact.

"I think it worked," said Lucius. "She will go to her father and tell her that she is worried and then she'll suggest that night off and Draco will definitely go to the opera. He's bound to love classical music still. That's where he will discover his 'unfaithful' wife, surrounded by many gentlemen. I imagine a fight between them and that is where we strike and the last words he'll ever say to her will be ones full of anger and hate."

"Good," drawled Malfoy's companion.

A/N: And that brings us to Draco, Jacqueline, and William…

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Draco took a seat and looked into the large magnificent room thinking of Adriennd and how concerned she was for him and practically forced him out the door. He now looked around and noticed something opposite of him. In one of the opera boxes was a certain persona and less than a second, Draco recognized Jacqueline who was surrounded by different people… mostly men.

She was wearing her favorite black dress with one of her most expensive necklaces and earrings. The more he watched her smile, the angrier he got. He now understood where she had been sneaking of to every weekend. He stood up, but the lights dimmed and the 1st Act began, causing him to sit back down. During the performance, he kept glancing at his wife who was calmly looking at the stage.

When the act finished he got up and headed for her location. When he entered, there was only one man in the room and he was actively talking to Jacqui. Draco coughed slightly causing the two to look at him. To his surprise, the smile on Jacqueline's face became even brighter. She stood up and walked up to him. She placed both her hands on his shoulders and kissed his cheek lightly. But he pulled away and took hold of her arm and pulled her out of the box and up until they came to the antechamber. By that time, the second act started, but both were to busy to care.

Jacqueline yanked her hand from his grip, and angrily stared at him. The staring contest lasted for a long while and both didn't notice someone lurking in the shadows, watching them carefully.

"What does this mean?" asked Jacqueline, first to break the silence.

"I can ask you the same thing," replied Draco coldly.

"I am at the opera."

"And why haven't you been telling me where you go every weekend?"

"Why do I have to explain myself to you? I don't have to tell you about every single thing I do."

Draco looked at his proud wife. She didn't want anyone to have control over her life after so many years under Voldemort, but this was…

Jacqueline's eyes were ablaze with anger and every part of her face became tense and sharp. "We're going home," Draco said firmly.

Jacqueline measured him with her gaze and with the same firmness answered, "No."

He took one step towards her and repeated the direction, "We're going home."

"Why?" asked Jacqueline scornfully. "I want to finish the opera and I am not going to leave until I do so." With that she turned around and began to head back to her box.

But Draco took her by her left arm and turned her back o him. "We are going home."

Jacqueline took his hand with her right trying to ease his hold. But his grip grew tighter as he began to lead her to the exit.

"Draco," begged Jacqueline, "please let me go."

He didn't listen, not understanding that his touch to her left wrist caused her pain.

"You're hurting me."

As soon as those words touched his ears, his grip unraveled and he turned to her. Jacqueline staggered back a few steps, rubbing her left wrist.

"I'll see you at home," said Jacqueline in a broken voice. Draco watched her leave and turned to leave for home.

That night, Jacqueline couldn't enjoy the opera, for she kept questioning Draco's actions. What bothered her most was the question of how Draco had chosen that night to go to the opera. Nether the less, when she returned, William was gone and that put her in despair. The man didn't return all night.

When the performance finished, she kept sitting in her seat. She was in her thoughts as she replayed the bitter moment.

"Madame, I'm sorry, but we're closing for the night," said one of the attendants.

Jacqueline got up and only then noticed that the opera house was empty and that the stage crew men were taking apart the scenery. She got her shawl and began to walk to the place where she could Apparate.

Not even a few yards away from the opera's exit, she felt a presence. She turned around, but there was no one there. She kept on walking, but she felt the presence again. She looked back again, scanning everything in sight which was hard to do in the small light of the street lamps. She quickened her pace when the street lamps suddenly turned off, throwing everything into darkness. Jacqueline stopped dead in her tracks and reached for her wand, but remembered that she was in a Muggle community.

Even if she had reached for her wand, it was too late. She felt someone take hold pf her arms and fasten them behind her back. By the point of a wand at her neck she realized that it was a wizard.

"Not a word," said the person.

In several moments they Apparated to some location. She was rudely pushed aside and as she regained her footing she looked up to see the figure of William.

A/N: CLIFFY! Hate me? I know. Well, I won't be updating for a while now, so this'll have to do. I made it really long and I hope it isn't too boring.

Please Review.
