"Old Deuteronomy is now under our spell, my Lord. Everything is working out fine," Reja, Voldemort's servant cat, declared.

Voldemort grinned. "Perfect. And where is Dumbledore?"

"Err- You see, sir, we, um, went to capture him, but he was too powerful," Reja stammered, her brown-gold fur trembling slightly.

Voldemort scowled. "Well hurry up and find the old coot! He's not that hard to find, and he's sick for God's sake! What's wrong with you cats? Don't forget that I can have Nagini swallow you whole if I want to. GO!" Reja scurried out the door to the control room. She was determined to find him, whatever it took.

Tom looked out of the window of his large castle room. It was almost an office, but he thought that it was inappropriate to call it that. He sneered, his lip curling upwards. "The first move has been made, Jellicles," he whispered to himself. "It's your turn."

The assembly of Jellicles muttered lowly to themselves. All of the warriors had been called together, and all they were waiting for was Dumbledore and Deuteronomy.

"What if it's time?" Electra asked. "I'm not ready for that jelly yet!"

Etcetera scowled at her. "Now is NOT the time for Destiny's Child lyrics. Maybe they just wanna prepare us or something. Or maybe—"

Victoria scowled. "No! No way am I ready to fight! I JUST got my claws done and I do not want to ruin them."

Jemima rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. You just don't want to fight. Misto was right about you, you're nothing but a coward!"

The circle of queens looked at Jemima, shocked. Jemima was usually the quiet one that never, ever, spoke ill of anyone.

"What?" Jemima said when she saw them staring at her.

They all just shook their heads. Dumbledore then popped up at the stage, and a hush fell upon the crowd. The professor looked solemn, as if a friend of his had died.

"Hello, Jellicles. I wish I could say 'good morning,' but today is not the case. We have been informed that the Voldemort/Macavity clan has captured your Father and taken him to their hiding spot. This means war, and we need to be prepared to fight in two days. So please, all warriors, please get ready. Those in the infirmary for standby, get your appliances. This is not going to turn out well, but we have to fight our best."

All the Jellicles looked at each other with looks of shock. Deuteronomy? Gone? As if they were all on the same page of thought they all sang, "We have to find Old Deuteronomy."

Voldemort and Macavity were going down, whether they liked it or not.

Woah! Short chapter! The war is next! Hermione and Misto WILL make up!

Any-hoo…I'm baaack! I'm terribly sorry for the hiatus! I have been dealing with quite an emotional turn, you see. And I have big news for my readers.

*dramatic drumroll*

I'M PREGNANT! Me and my girlfriend, Lena, have decided to have a baby. I'm going to carry it, and we are going to move to New York and get married! I have a job lined up for me as a writer for a newspaper, and Lena is going to be assistant to some important fashion designer.

So, on that note, I WILL finish this story, just not fast. I need reviews, though, to keep me going. So tell your friends on FF to R/R, and I'll finish faster!

BTW: I'm 5 weeks along! We don't know if it's a boy or a girl, we're waiting until he/she's born.
