Juliane let out an audible sigh of relief. Bill stood still for a few moments, before lunging forwards and pulling Hope into a tight hug, dragging Juliane into it too. "You really want to be adopted?" Juliane asked breathlessly.

"More than anything since you asked." Hope replied, looking so happy. She was more than happy. Hope was over the moon with joy. She was going to have parents again! It was the best feeling in the world. 

"Oh, and you'll have a baby brother." Juliane said with a wink. 

"Oh, I haven't actually held a baby in years!" Hope gasped in realization. 

"Stop being overdramatic. You held Rebel last night." Juliane giggled. 

"I did? Oh yeah. I did." Hope said slowly. 

"Alright. Let's get back to the ice cream parlor, and get the rest of your school supplies." Juliane said, still grinning wildly. 

"When are we going to tell everyone?" Hope asked, looking slightly nervous. 

"Whenever you're ready. If you want to talk to Harry and Harmony before hand, then go ahead. We can wait. What do you want to do?" Bill said, ever so kind. Juliane however, looked like she was going to pop. She wanted to tell the entire world that her and Bill were finally adopting Hope, and it was all it took for her to not scream it out loud to anyone who was passing by. 

"I'll talk to Harry and Harmony first. They ought to be the first people to know seeing as they are my biological siblings." Decided Hope, after a short pause as she pondered the fact. 

"Alright. That's perfectly fine Hope. Take your time." Bill smiled as they walked out of the alley and back to the rest of the family. Harry and Harmony were looking at the three suspiciously, and Adria was grinning wildly, as she frantically waved Juliane over to her table. Juliane walked over with a cryptic look in her eyes. 

"So... How did it go?" Adria asked as soon as Juliane sat down at the table. 

"Can't say. You'll just have to wait and see." Juliane said mysteriously, preparing a bottle for a crying Rebel. She was getting a lot of dirty looks from customers at the sound of her screaming child disrupting their peace. As soon as the bottle was in Rebel's mouth he was silent. Some of the other Witches and Wizards visibly sighed, and slumped in their seats in relief, while others shared a quick glance with their peers and went back to what they were doing. It was those people that Juliane was thankful for. They didn't shoot her any looks, just went back to what they were doing. The infant was calm, and he had now fallen asleep in his mother's arms as Juliane talked with Adria who was still attempting to get information out of Juliane. They both saw Hope motion for Harry and Harmony to follow her, and they got up and left the restaurant for a few minutes before returning. Harry and Harmony looked slightly less happy then they were when they left, but Juliane assumed it was just because they were sad about Hope being adopted. 

"I told them." Hope whispered as she came over to the table. 

"And...?" Juliane pushed. 

"And, they were angry at first but I think that they calmed down enough for us to tell the family." 

"When?" Bill butted in. 

"Dinner tonight?" Juliane asked, looking at the two for approval. 

"Dinner tonight." 

The group finished up their shopping, with the demigod's getting the most things, especially candy, much to Annabeth's dismay. 

"You are all going to go crazy tonight, getting high off of sugar every hour!" She had shrieked in sheer frustration. "I'm going to have to follow you, cleaning up the mess, and the wrappers, that you drop on the floors!" 

"Oh relax Annabeth, we won't be any problems. Probably just a few jelly slugs, and maybe some ice mice. Nothing more, nothing less." Piper had assured her. She was proven immediately wrong, however, as they had walked into the massive candy shoppe. "I take back anything I said. We are buying this entire store!" And with that, the demigods had all run off, collecting any type of candy they could reach, and then some. Annabeth had sighed, and raced off after them, stopping to pick up a few pieces of chocolate on the way. 

"It seems like Annabeth can't follow her own rules." Juliane smirked at Bill. She had tried to stay away from as much candy as possible, ADHD and candy didn't mix well with the demigods. Sure Juliane had some from time to time, but nothing like what the newcomers were grabbing. Bill could see the yearning to go crazy in the store deep in her electric eyes, but she did have some control over it all. 

"Well, I mean, she's never really tried wizarding sweets." He whispered in her ear. 

"That's true, but they will be going crazy, and Annabeth, as much as she says she won't, will end up eating half of that candy." Juliane giggled as she watched them clear shelves of their treats. 

"Lucky them." Bill said with a deep laugh. Rebel was awake again, after a very short nap, and he was alert, his eyes looking at the various candies in shock. 

"Look Rebel, it's Bertie Bot's every flavour beans!" Juliane exclaimed quietly, pointing to the boxes. "And there's sugar quills. My personal favorite." The boy reached out for the sugar quills with a look of delight upon his face. 

"Are you sure that he's not your biological son?" Adria asked Bill as they watched, amused, as Juliane grabbed some of the quills. 

"Pretty sure. I mean he could pass as a Weasley, and he does love sugar quills, but he isn't biologically our son. Even though he is our son. Does that make any sense?" 

"It does. I know how you feel. If I had found someone like Rebel, it would make me so happy. I'm so very proud of you Bill." 

"Why's that?" Bill asked, looking over at Adria with a confused glint in his eye. 

"Because, look at what you've done! You found an amazing girl, have an adorable little boy, and have a good life going for you! Now all you need is to ask her to marry you." Adria smirked as Bill flushed a deep crimson. 

"I know. And I want to. I just need to find the right time, and the right ring, and that takes a while to do." Bill said, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. Adria thought for a few minuets, before realizing something. She looked up at Bill with a wide smile upon her face.

"I think I have the perfect place."
