Petunia's POV:
As I head back to the dining room I send a Patronus to Sev to have him get ahold of Tom because I have Hadrian, Ariana, and Jenna at my house. Once in the dining room, I sat by my husband. "Petunia, what are we going to do? Are we gonna get a hold of Severus and Regulus to tell Tom we found 3 of the 4 just sitting on our front steps? What should we do?" He asked me. I looked at him and smiled.

Vernon's POV:
"Petunia, what are we going to do? Are we gonna get a hold of Severus and Regulus to tell Tom we found 3 of the 4 just sitting on our front steps? What should we do?" I asked my wife.

She looked at me and smiled "I already contacted Severus and Regulus. I sent them a Patronus. Tom is my brother-in-law. He deserves to know that 3 of his kids are finally found after being missing for 5 years. And Severus was my best friend and Lily's too so who better to call than my best friend who was the one who introduced Lily and me to my brother-in-law back when we were 14?..." She said,

"The only problem I have is why does Hadrian look like Potter when his father is Tom? Mattheo looks like Tom and Lily, but Hadrian looks like James Potter. But the question is why?" She added.

"Don't worry dear, we will figure it out. This might just be a spell on him but we can't do anything about it until he is 11." I told her. After I told Petunia that the kids all came down freshly showered and changed for the day.

Severus's POV:
As I'm sitting in my home's library reading a book, a badger patronus comes to me. Before the message is said I know that it is a message from Petunia. I listen to her message. As her patronus faded I broke down, tears running down my face. I walk to the kitchen to find my husband. When I get there I see him cooking pancakes for breakfast.

He looks up at me, "Good morning Sevvy...wait what's wrong?" He says to me when he notices that I'm crying. "Petunia had good news." I responded

"Then why are you crying Sevvy? Good news isn't supposed to make you cry." He asked again.

"She has Hadrian, Ariana, and Jenna at her house. She asked me to get a hold of Tom and the others to go there at 11:30. She set Dudley's room for 4 and turned the room next to it into a playroom sort of thing for them to mess around in. She is worried about them tho something about glamour or something. I stopped listening after hearing that she has Hadrian, Ariana, and Jenna." I told him.

He looks at me as tears start to run down his face too. We hugged each other for a few minutes. "I'll get a hold of Tom, Theodore Sr & Stephanie, Persephone & Elias, Florian & Adorabella, and Percival & Amaryllis. And could you get a hold of Lucius & Narcissa, Barty & Andromeda, Bellatrix & Rodolphus, Sirius & Remus, and Rabastan?" I asked him

"Yes I can, then we can get Max, Troy, and Victoria ready to go and head to Petunia's place." He responded.

Dudley's POV:
"So, Mom, what is the family meeting for?" I asked my mom "Dudley as you know Hadrian, Ariana, and Jenna are wizards like you and me. They will be staying here with us. When you and Hadrian get your Hogwarts letter on your 11th birthday we will deal with those things then. But for now, they will be enrolled in your school. With Ariana and Jenna, they will be enrolled 2 different years due to them being 2 years younger." Mom responded to me.

"Okay, Mom, but quick question. Why doesn't he look like Uncle Tom? And why do the twins only look like a carbon copy of Aunt Lily with no Uncle Tom in them?" I asked.

"We believe they were put under glamor by Dumbledore Dudley. But we can't be sure about it until their 11th birthdays." Mom responded again.

Petunia's POV:
"Okay, Mom, but quick question. Why doesn't he look like Uncle Tom? And why do the twins only look like a carbon copy of Aunt Lily with no Uncle Tom in them?" Dudley asked me.

"We believe they were put under glamor by Dumbledore Dudley. But we can't be sure about it until their 11th birthdays. But we will deal with that when it comes. Back to the other point of the meeting" I responded.

"Hadrian, Ariana, and Jenna. I have contacted Severus and Regulus to have them contact Tom and the others you 3 were found. I have put up every privacy ward possible and they all will be here in an hour to meet you 3. Be prepared when I say everyone, I mean everyone. I will tell you their names now so you know them." I said to them and they nodded their head so I continued,

"There will be Tom, your dad; Sirius and Remus with their kids, Jackson, Cordelia, Estella, and Leo, and with Tom Jr, Hayley, and Cassie, your older siblings that are 12, they are starting their 2nd year at Hogwarts in in September; Barty Jr and Andromeda with Nymphadora and Henry, as well as Isobella and Alyssa, they are 11 and starting 1st year in September; Severus and Regulus with their kids, Shane, Carina, Aurora, and Aries, and with Victoria, who is 7; Lucius and Narcissa with Draco & Harley who are 8, and Mattheo who is also 8; Rodolphus and Bellatrix Lestrange with Lorenzo and with Sebastian; Theodore Sr. and Stephanie Nott with Theodore Jr and Talya; Rabastan Lestrange and is wife Marlene Lestrange with their kids, Max, Troy, Jonathan, Maddison, and Savannah; Persephone Zabini and Elias Knightley with Blaise, Jacob, Phoebe, Arabella, Felix, & Ruby; Florian and Adorabella Greengrass with Daphne, Blaire, Christopher, Caroline, Cyrus, Astoria & Audrey; Percival and Amaryllis Parkinson with Milo, Jace, Peter, Pansy, Katherine, Cheyenne, Conrad, Destiny, & Felicity." I finished listing everyone off.

"Okay Aunt Petunia, what time are they gonna be here?" They ask. "11:30 this morning, so about another 30 minutes," I said. "Sis, where are you?" I heard Tom yell out.

"Oh he is early; I should have expected that one. He has only been waiting 5 years for this." I muttered to myself "In the dining room, Tom." I yelled out to him. He walked in and stopped in his tracks.

Tom's POV:
I was drinking tea and reading this morning when I got a patronus from Severus telling me that Petunia has Hadrian, Ariana, and Jenna. That she found them on her doorstep this morning. She wanted everyone there so they could make a plan on what to do.

Wait until 11:30 this morning, she said. I may love my sister-in-law but she is crazy to think that I am gonna wait a whole hour. After 30 minutes I lost my patience and floo-ed over to her house. I only was able to make it 30 minutes of the wait time because I needed to shower and change from my clothes from last night.

After that she was crazy to think I would wait to see 3 of my kids that have just been found. "Sis, where are you?" I yelled out from the moment I stepped out of the fireplace. "Oh he is early; I should have expected that one. He has only been waiting 5 years for this." She muttered to herself but I still heard her because of my super hearing "In the dining room, Tom." She yelled out to me.

And I walked into the dining room. Once I saw them I stopped in my tracks and stared at them. The twins look exactly like Lily, and Hadrian is glamoured to look like Potter but has Lily's eyes.

God I am gonna kill him when this is over with, for kidnapping my wife and kids. I run to them and hug them way too tight but they hug back not caring about the tightness.

I can't wait until the others see them. They are safe with my sister and her husband and still alive so that is all that matters.

Petunia's POV:
"Tom, the others should be here at 11:30. So we will wait in the living room and wait for them to show up while you sit in here and reconnect with your kids." I told him.

"Okay, sis. Yell for me when they get here please. I love you Sis. Thank you for this." He said to me, I hugged him and walked into the living room with my husband and son.
