Hey everyone, sorry this took so long to get out. I've been really busy lately and things like this just slipped my mind.
I have a few announcements to make before we get into the story if you can just bare with me.
First up, I have lost my motivation for the "Hogwarts reads" and the "Gaming Villain" stories for the moment. I will probably rewrite the gaming villain at some point in time since it was a bit rushed. This does not mean I am going to abandon the Hogwarts reads story, it just means until I get my motivation back for it it will be on a break.
Onto my second announcment, I'm maybe going to start two new stories. One is just going to be a story heaven where if a plot bunny is tickling my brain and won't go away I can write it down and post the one shot here. I might come back at a later date and write a full story for the chapter but I also might not.
Some stories might have one chapter some might have two, I will try not to have more than three chapters for any one story in this one shot heaven.
My other idea is going to be a secret. It was an idea that kept bouncing around, I'm not even sure I'm going to post it as a full story or as a one shot in the one shot heaven. I kind of want to post a full story though.
Anyways on with the reviews.

Is this going to cross over into Miraculous Ladybug? Because I would LOVE to see Chloe and Lila get owned by Adriane. Just saying it would be -heh heh- Miraculous?
Me: While I love reading Miraculous Ladybug fanfiction (And have made some cc for it in the sims) I don't think I would feel comfortable writing the characters since I don't have a good grasp on their personalities outside of fanfiction. Maybe in the future I will do a spin off of this story with a different storyline but the same idea and will add the crossover in.
At the moment I just don't feel comfortable adding another fandom to an already crowded story, this is a three-way cross over so I need to keep track of everything in each fandom.

looks like this will be a FemHarry x hermione or some other female
Me: Clearing this up, it's not going to be a FemHarry x Hermione or even a FemHarry x Female character. While Adriane may be bi, I've known who I'm paring her with since the start of the original story. I'm just leaving it as a surprise.
Please do not get it in your head that I'm against same sex couples, I know some people might and I want to put it out there that I am Biromantic. (I've also been out to my family and friends for a long time so do not think you made me out myself.)
setokayba2n chapter 35 . Jul 4
If the Joker is family, does that make also Harley Quinn as his wife, part of the family?
Also, why some authors like you tend to age Gabrielle? What is wrong with her being 8-9 and a little girl that authors need to give her years or put the old "Veela special growth"?
Me: Did the Joker and Harley ever get legally married? I thought they just referred to her as his girlfriend but I could be wrong.
Also I responded to the second part in a private DM but wanted to address this here too, I thought Gabrielle was actually older than 8-9 when I wrote her age. I didn't know why else she would be allowed at the school without her parents there since magical schooling starts at 11.
Now the next reviewer happened to comment on so many chapters since they just started reading my story! I loved reading each one of your reviews as you finished another chapter MadamKhaos, here are some answers to your questions.
Yes her glamour does have glasses added too it, I'm sad to say that until your review I never thought of her old glasses. I have glasses myself and can't believe I forgot about them.
The Jocker isn't a squib and he didn't leave because he hated Dumbledore, that's all you're getting out of me on this subject.
I'm waiting until summer in the story to have the Goblins move ahead with all of Adriane's plans, that might be where they discover the stone.
Onto the story!
It was the day after the second task and Adriane was thankful it was a Saturday, this meant she could sleep in and avoid everyone in the school who would, no doubt, try to ask her endless questions about what she said yesterday before starting the second task.
Instead of dealing with that Adriane was cuddled up in her large bed in the chamber of secrets. She curled up under her big fluffy blanket as she softly dozed.
She didn't notice when Dobby popped in with Fred, George, and Luna or when Winky popped in with Fluer and Neville. She didn't react when her friends silently left the bedroom to explore the rest of the chamber when seeing she was sleeping.
Normally the twins would have pranked Adriane but they knew Adriane needed her sleep after yesterday, the only reason why Fluer was up was that she was used to waking up super early even on the weekends. While Adriane would normally be up early every day even she took some days off to just sleep in.
The elves had brought everyone down around seven thirty, and it took another hour and a half for Adriane to sleepily get up and get ready for her day, she was still tired when she left her room.
Since Adriane was tired she forgot to wrap her tail around her waist like she normally did, her tail was waving in the air behind her as she walked.
She didn't notice when her friend's bar Luna stared at the monkey tail that they had always assumed was a fuzzy belt that she favored.
Soon enough Adriane realized she wasn't alone and she stared at her friends surprised, "How did you get down here?"
"We asked Winky and Dobby to bring us down here." Luna answered with a serene smile on her face. Adriane let out a small snort, "I should have known, anyways why didn't you wake me up? How long have you been down here anyways?"
"We wanted to let you sleep after yesterday and not long, just an hour and a half."
"An hour and a half? Did you have breakfast yet? Winky?" Winky popped in, "Yes Ma'am?" "Can you please bring us all some breakfast? Make sure to bring enough for everyone to eat their fill!"
Winky nodded, "Winky can be doing that Ma'am!" She then popped away.
"Adriane you didn't need to do that-" "Yes I did, If you forgot I need to eat breakfast too, why on earth would I eat right in front of you when you haven't eaten anything?"
Neville and the twins shared a look, "That makes sense, anyways Adriane I have a question?"
Tilting her head she responded, "Yeah Neville?" "Since when do you have a monkey tail?"
The group watched as Adriane blinked at them, seemingly confused. "D-Did I never tell you that saiyans have tails? Monkey tails?" She seemed baffled when the twins, Neville, and Fluer shook their heads. She wasn't going to wonder why Luna seemed to know and the others didn't, Luna just seemed to know things she probably shouldn't.
"Oh, well, Saiyan's have monkey tails, I'm not allowed to look at the full moon as long as I have the tail."
"Wait why not? You used to love looking at the moon and stars!"
"Well if I don't want to turn into a gaint monkey and have no control over myself just from looking at the full moon then I can't." Adriane huffed.
"A gaint Monkey?"
"Yes, Fred if you even think of touching my tail I will use it to bitch slap you." Adriane turned to face Fred who had snuck up behind her, he was currently backing away with his hands up and a sheepish grin on his face. "Sorry Adriane, it just looks really fuzzy."
Adriane rolled her eyes as she wrapped her tail around her waist, once more having it act as a belt. "Don't touch a Saiyan's tail unless you're in a fight, it's normally their weakpoint. Unknown to most however is that you can train the tail up so you down turn into a puddle of goo the second someone gets a grip on any part of it."
"A puddle of goo?" Fluer asked and looked surprised when Adriane nodded, "Oh yeah, a Saiyan who hasn't trained their tail cannot move and sometimes can't even think whenever their tail is grabbed, it's like if you hit someone's pressure point and they pass out. Only difference is that a Saiyan is able to train that out of them through harsh training."
Adriane trailed off as she thought of her own training in the time chamber with Clara.
~~Flashback~~
Adriane and Clara were sparing to try and help Adriane control her strength since she still had trouble with it whenever she was distracted or in a fight.
Adriane had tried to sweep Clara's legs to get her off balance but she jumped back before rushing at Adriane who tried to jump out of the way, but she wasn't able to in time since she wasn't allowed to use her super speed.
She got out of the way for the most part but she had accidentally unraveled her tail from her waist while dodging so Clara was able to grab that, she was planning on using it to throw Adriane to the ground but was surprised when Adriane fell to the ground limp, looking like several pressure points were pressed at once.
"Wha-What the hell?" Adriane cried out, trying and failing to push herself up, staying stuck on the ground looking up at Clara with wide eyes. Clara slowly looked down at where she was still holding the tail and let it go, immediately Adriane was able to move and jumped to her feet looking at her tail like it betrayed her.
"I think we've found something else we need to train, if you want to keep that tail then we need to make it so you don't collapse whenever it's grabbed."
"But how are we supposed to do that?" Adriane said, she knew better than to show how agitated she was. She wasn't upset at the thought of more training, it felt more like a primal urge to get as far away from Clara as possible. She had a feeling it had something to do with her Saiyan side of her and Clara finding out about the tail's weakness than any future training like she suspected she would need.
"We're going to have to train your tail like every other part of you, obviously we can't put any of those weighted clothes you have on it, at least at the start but we can have you do pushups and pullups with it!"
Adriane gently grabbed her tail, "Why doesn't me grabbing it make me turn into goo?" Clara rubbed her chin in thought with a frown, "Probably because it's you I guess, kind of like how a person can't tickle themselves you can't activate that goo function of your tail yourself either."
"Makes sense."
"Damn right it does, now lets get to it!"
~~~Flashback ends~~~
"Wow, getting rid of that weakness sounds like hard work!" Neville said, awed that Adriane went through with the work needed for that.
"It was tough and at times I didn't know if it would actually work but I still did it."
"But why-"
"If you didn't-"
"Know it would work?"
"Because back then when I wasn't sure if it would work I didn't want to risk not going through with the training. If I didn't go through with it and anyone who wanted to hurt me found out about my weakness then they could easily use it to hurt me and those I love."
"It was easier to train my train and risk it not working than not train it at all."
The twins shared a look before nodding, "That makes sense!"
"Anyways, who wants to play some shoots and ladders?"
"What's shoots and ladders?"
Adriane explained that it was a muggle game as she grabbed it from her trunk before sitting down and explaining the rooms as she set it up.
Adriane was notified by Winky that she had a letter from Grinlast on her desk. Thanking Winky, she then got up, putting the book on potions she had been browsing through, and walked to her room to open the letter. She hoped he had news on if the wards did prevent muggle-borns and muggle-raised half-bloods from updating the wizarding world.
Picking up the letter she used a letter opener to open it and pulled the page out of the envelope.
Dear Lady Adriane Kenna Dive Potter, Black, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Emrys.
I'm glad to hear that with our help you managed to prevent a true tragedy from happening. I can not understand the moronic choices of those in charge of this tournament. Everyone knows that Veela and Mermaids have a bad history with each other.
The only reason there are not large amounts of Veela and Mermaids killing each other is that Mermaids can not go onto the surface and Veela avoids mermaid-infested waters.
I am surprised they agreed not to attack your friend while she was in the water but suppose they must have sensed your power and knew that you could severally harm them if they hurt your friend in any way.
Now in regards to your question concerning the wards.
Your words have raised questions within the goblin nation on why they haven't been updating anything either. Double checking the wards at Gringgots shows that someone, most likely some stupid wizard working for the Ministry subtly weaved a ward to discourage updating technology into our already existing wards.
It also had a notice me not on it. This is why we did not catch this disgrace sooner because we did not know what to look for let alone that we were supposed to look for something.
We sent a goblin to secretly observe the wards on Diagon Alley, Hogwarts, and the Ministry, and just like with Gringgots, there is a ward to discourage people from upgrading things and to stop them from bringing muggle things into the magical world.
Normally we would not be allowed to tell you this information but considering you alerted us here at Gringgots to the problem in the first place we feel you have the right to know.
From Grinlast.
Adriane hummed with a frown, so she was right. Someone had added wards to stop muggle-borns from bringing muggle things into the magical world. She was surprised that someone was stupid enough to mess with the wards on the bank, if they had been caught then they would have been beheaded.
She wondered how this person, whoever they were, managed to add the wards to Gringgots of all places.
Adriane decided that she would hire Gringgots to get rid of those wards in every place that had them. She bet that these wards were over every magical place, from magical homes to magical alleys.
Taking out some parchment she started writing a reply.
Dear Grinlast.
I was surprised when realizing that if I was not as powerful as I am then the mermaids would have tried to attack Fluer no matter what we had agreed on. It makes me wonder if Fluer knew of this or if she just trusts me so much.
I'm horrified when realize that someone was able to add anything to the wards of Gringgots without the goblins noticing, I am in no way saying the Goblins were negligent, obviously this person was very slippery.
I have a small suspicion as to who added these wards but I have no proof.
How much would it take to hire the goblins to get rid of these wards on every magical place you can? You can tell me how much it would cost to get rid of on say Hogwarts and then use that price as the estimate for other places.
I would like to hire you to get rid of these wards as you could probably tell from my earlier words. It's time for the magical world to come out of the dark ages and into the future.
From Lady Adriane Kenna Dive Potter, Black, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Emrys.
Taking another look at her letter she put it in an envelope and sent it off to Grinlast's office with Dobby.
She just hoped that the Goblins would be able to accept her offer and be able to secretly take those wards down while leaving the other wards attached to a place intact.
