Hermione stretched and sat up in bed. She was feeling surprisingly well considering how slowly she was healing. A heavy drum beat with twin guitars filtered in from somewhere downstairs. What time was it?
“Music is starting early,” Draco groaned and sat up. “It’s barely even nine.”
“Well, it is the weekend,” Hermione said softly. “They’re probably trying to make the most of it.”
“I like it,” Zandra whispered. Her voice was still rough from sleep.
Draco snapped his head around to the next bed. “Hello Zandra. How are you this morning?”
“Sore,” Zandra admitted. “But I don’t want to stay in this bed anymore.”
Hermione smiled. “Tired of convalescing already?”
Zandra grimaced. “It makes me feel…like I’m still there.”
Draco nodded in understanding. “If you promise to be still, I’ll have Alex carry you downstairs. You can watch the band play.”
“Really?” Zandra asked, her eyes alight at the thought of getting away from the bed. “You’ll… I mean…we’ll still talk about you today right?”
Hermione smiled. “Of course. We’ll tell you what we can as soon as you’d like. We have the whole day. For now, go downstairs and watch them play. It’ll be good to see some familiar faces, right?”
Zandra nodded and jumped when Draco hollered for Alex. The man from the night before was there in the blink of an eye. He sauntered in and started casting dozens of spells that flashed brilliantly while Draco and Hermione looked on, concentration fierce on their faces. When the spells ended, Alex nodded and sheathed his wand.
“You look much better this morning. Anything else I can do for you?”
“She wants to see the kids play,” Draco said, barely suppressing a grin. “Take her down and give her a front row seat, yeah?”
Alex grinned. “Sure thing. They’ll be peacocks with an audience.”
“I couldn’t possibly imagine why,” Draco grinned.
“Of course not,” Alex said with a serious face. “Because their parents don’t show boat at all.”
“I don’t,” Hermione griped and crossed her arms in a mock pout.
Alex snickered. “No, you keep a completely level head at all times.”
Hermione flushed hotly. She remembered her conversation with Draco, begging for more power. Alex might not have heard it but he could smell her feelings, the tension and longing. “Well, being level is overrated.”
“I always thought so,” Alex teased. “Now milady, your chariot awaits.” He spread his arms magnanimously and walked over to the now nervous girl.
“Y-you’re g-going to c-carry me?” Zandra squeaked.
“Yes,” Alex said, confusion clouding his face. “I carried you up; why wouldn’t I carry you down?”
“But I-I’m…not…not light.”
Alex snorted. “You are just fine.”
Zandra’s eyes darkened. “I could hurt you.”
Alex chuckled. “Trust me, you aren’t there yet.”
“I know how heavy I am!” Zandra spat. “No one will ever let me forget it! N-n-not even my attackers.”
Alex’s face clouded over. “Your attackers’ sole purpose was to break you. Women are much too sensitive about their appearance, especially their weight. I’ll tell you this as a medical professional. Your body weight is perfect for your height and bone structure right now. I’d imagine you lost quite a bit of weight during your ordeal so you might have been just slightly overweight but not obscenely so as you seem to think you are. You were well within your body’s normal range. Now, as a man, I must say that curvy is a very desirable trait in a woman.”
Zandra cringed a bit at his bold statement.
“I understand your reaction,” Alex said softly. “I always speak frankly, perhaps too much so, but you can trust me. I am happily married to a very curvy woman of my own. There is someone out there who loves you for exactly who you are. Perhaps even closer than you think. Now, would you permit me to carry you downstairs where you can view juvenile delinquents abusing instruments, microphones, and eardrums in the pursuit of making noise..er…music?”
“I’m heavy,” Zandra insisted after she considered the healer’s remarks. “Just levitate me.”
“No one can perform magic outside this room. Trust me. I won’t even feel it,” Alex whispered and carefully lifted Zandra from the bed. He spun around as if she was nothing more than a feather and walked toward the door. “See, I could carry ten of you without a flinch.”
“You didn’t look that strong,” Zandra gasped.
“Looks can be deceiving,” Alex said evasively and walked gracefully down the stairs.
Hermione dragged herself from the bed and stood on shaky legs. They could probably hold up to a trip downstairs. She did miss her children and Saturday morning jam sessions were her guilty pleasure. She grabbed her robe from the corner of the bed and wrapped it around her.
Draco was waiting for her at the end of the bed. “Zandra’s in for a treat if they’ve broken out the guitars.” They clasped arms and made their way out the door and to the stairs.
“Think Aiden will get up the nerve to sing in front of her?”
Draco smirked. “I’m sure Rhapsody could bully him into it.”
“Oh, I almost forgot about those two. What happens to their…um…relationship now?”
“I honestly don’t know.”
“They broke it off,” Melody said from behind them. They almost fell in shock but Melody zipped in front of them and steadied them.
“They broke it off?” Hermione asked once she regained the use of her words.
Melody nodded and held her arms out to help the couple downstairs. “Aiden is one of the few who knows he has a soul mate. Rhapsody thought it wise to tell him early, considering they have been dating for over two years now. She knew he had his eyes on Zandra though. Hard not to feel his admiration and guilt, isn’t it?”
“Why didn’t Cadence know about it?”
Melody shrugged. “Aiden didn’t want everyone knowing. Rhapsody finally broke his confidence after Cadence saw Zandra in the hospital.”
“Is Rhap okay?” Hermione asked in earnest.
“Oh yeah. She knew it was temporary. Their relationship was…is…like me and Sev. We love each other…but not in the sense of a marriage or long term bonding.”
“Does Aiden know who his soul mate is?” Draco asked quietly. They had just reached the bottom of the stairs and while the music was loud, he knew they could still hear him if they listened close enough.
Melody shook her head and grinned mischievously. “Does it matter at this point?”
Draco took in the scene before him. Nate was playing the drums, Zach had a bass guitar, and Aiden and Serena were each playing an electric guitar. The music was beautiful, a haunting melody with a heavy rock beat. Aiden had turned to the side to play facing Serena, his shyness obviously winning out. Zandra sat on the couch wide eyed with excitement.
“No, I suppose it doesn’t.”
“Well,” Melody said, pointing to the loveseat adjacent to the couch. “Have a seat then. They’ve been practicing hard. Scorp might even sing today.”
“Really?” Hermione squealed. Scorpius had an amazing voice, smooth as silk, and she loved to hear him sing. It was funny that singing was the one thing her over exuberant teen was shy about. He’d show off all day long at quidditch but the stage cowed him.
Melody nodded and watched them with a sharp eye until they were seated. They still looked very weak. She sighed mentally and turned her attention to a very nervous Aiden. Unlike her twins, Aiden wasn’t a solemn individual in public. He was quiet but jovial, an easy person to like. However, he had a dark streak that more than one unfortunate person had encountered. Aiden was fiercely loyal and protective, a trait both his parents shared. Woe to any that decided to mess with his family. Severus had to talk McGonagall out of getting him expelled more than once. Fortunately, Aiden had never struck unless he was provoked. After the first few times some foolish individual tried, he was feared. The kids always teased him about it but they had a healthy respect for him too. They would do the same for him. She wondered if Zandra knew this about him.
“Come on Scorp! Take the mike!” Rhapsody shouted. She had positioned herself in between Draco and Zandra, always one to need the front row seat.
“I dunno,” Scorp said, pink coloring his cheeks. “My throat is a bit scratchy.” It was one thing to make a fool of himself in front of his family, another entirely to do so in front of a practical stranger.
“Chicken!” Rhapsody yelled. “I bet Aiden would.”
“You’d bet wrong,” Nate taunted and did a rim shot. “They’re two peas in a pod.”
“Shut your gob!” Aiden hissed. “I am not a chicken! I just prefer to play instead.”
“Bock, bock, begawk!” Zach crowed and began dancing around flapping his arms and scratching the ground.
“Stop that you idiot!” Serena snapped.
“Oh ho ho, coming to big brother’s defense are we?” Zach continued with his teasing. He’d never tell, but Rhapsody had paid him to do it. He wasn’t above joshing but he didn’t want to ruin Aiden’s chances with Zandra. Aiden didn’t know she was the one. Rhap had been adamant that he not know and Zach knew better than to interfere.
“Perhaps I should clip your wings?” Aiden asked in a deadly tone.
“Maybe you should put your money where your mouth is and prove you aren’t a coward,” Zach pushed.
“I’ll prove it,” Aiden said darkly. “Bad things on three.”
“You got it my brother from another mother,” Zach said cheekily and nodded to Nate.
Aiden rolled his eyes, cranked up his guitar, and started the song, motioning to everyone to start. Rhapsody was trying desperately not to chuckle but was losing the battle, little squeaks erupting from her mouth. Melody scooted in behind her and rapped her firmly on the head, immediately redirecting her attention. Luckily, Zandra hadn’t noticed. Her eyes were glued to Aiden as he started singing.
When you came in the air went out
And every shadow filled up with doubt.
I dunno who you think you are but before the night is through,
I wanna do bad things with you.
I’m the kind to sit up in his room
Heartsick and eyes filled up with gloom.
I dunno what you’ve done to me but I know this much is true,
I wanna do bad things with you.
Rhapsody jumped up suddenly and positioned herself behind Hermione and Draco. She had felt Zandra tense and wanted to draw their attention to her. They immediately went on point, ready to interfere should they need to. For now, they let Aiden continue. Zandra relaxed when they started playing the instrumental and seemed okay when Aiden continued until the last line.
I wanna do real bad things with you.
Zandra shivered but said nothing as everyone praised Aiden, Rhapsody loudest of all. Zandra glanced up at the wildly cheering teen, eyes filled with sadness.
‘You think she likes him?’ Hermione asked Draco in a thought.
Draco studied Zandra for a moment and then looked over at Aiden. He was trying desperately not to look affected, focusing all his attention on bullying Scorpius into singing. Zandra’s eyes were riveted to him.
‘I believe she does.’
Hermione sighed and settled back in to watch as Scorpius took the lead looking more than a little uncomfortable. He called for them to do Turn the Page, Metallica’s rendition which she personally loved. Scorp had the perfect voice for it and she watched with suspiciously wet eyes. Ara, Jacob, and Rose were sitting in the far corner observing him, grins on each of their faces. They were proud of their brother for stepping out of his comfort zone.
In that moment, Hermione’s heart constricted. This was how they should be, making music and having fun, not chasing after psychopaths and avenging Zandra. What awaited them in Khrone’s castle? She could feel Draco’s nerves full force, his anger at the situation and feelings of hopelessness because they didn’t have much of a choice. Nemesis had said that they had to help. ‘No!’
Draco mentally sighed. ‘What choice to we have ma chérie?’
‘We could go it alone.’
‘Melody would kill us both.’
‘Why would she have to know? Draco, we’re strong enough to do it without putting them in danger. Haven’t they all been through enough?’
‘Haven’t we?’ Draco asked bitterly.
Hermione snorted. ‘We don’t have a choice. They do. Look, Harry and Ginny almost lost Lily. Severus and Melody are still struggling with Zach and Nate. Rhapsody and Cadence are having a hard enough time keeping their powers a secret. They can go to Salem and keep an eye out but why can’t we go to Khrone’s by ourselves? Pop in, pop out, burn the place to the ground, and get the hell out of there.’
‘You’re starting to sound dangerously like Potter,’ Draco warned.
‘I know!’ Hermione snapped, causing him to wince at the sudden pressure in his mind. She shot him an apologetic look. ‘Sorry. I just…I don’t want anyone else to get hurt…especially my family.’
‘I agree but we need a plan.’
‘Tonight, we sneak down to the basement, view Bracken’s and Zandra’s memories, and go from there.’
Draco grinned at Hermione. ‘You, my love, are starting to become a bigger Slytherin than I am.’
Hermione merely shrugged and snuggled further into her husband’s chest. There wasn’t much they could do until nightfall so she decided to enjoy the show the children were putting on.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Melody sighed heavily as she watched the children trying to drown each other in the stock tank and having a blast. After their weekly jam session, Rhapsody had boldly suggested they all go swimming. Melody had to leave before she died laughing at the mortified look Aiden shot her. Rhap was a devious little thing. So now she was spending her stolen afternoon away from Salem watching her kids be kids. She was also eavesdropping on Draco and Hermione who had been regaling Zandra with tales of their past. The shy Hufflepuff had been riveted. They were pretty amazing stories: trolls, werewolves, ex-cons, and setting Severus on fire.
“Any change?”
Melody jumped a few inches when James plopped down on the bench beside her and erected a privacy bubble. She’d been in a world of her own. “No.”
He sighed. “Rhap was so sure that Lily would wake up today.”
She nodded. “Just goes to show that even omniscient people can’t be right all the time.”
“But Rhap is never wrong.”
“Well, it isn’t often. Harmony took a look a while ago. Her best guess is tomorrow. I won’t hold her to it but she’s pretty confident.”
“Have her visions ever been wrong?” His eyes were full of hope.
Melody gave a soft smile. “Visions can never be wrong. They are simply an alternative that didn’t come to pass.”
James frowned. “So…there was a possibility of Lily waking up today but it didn’t happen.”
“Right in one. Things like Lily’s condition, where so much is dependent on a person’s will and healing, they’re much harder to pick the right reality. You have to look at everything that happens that day to determine if it is the right one or not.”
“How do you know?”
Melody shrugged. “Experience I guess. Harmony and I figure we’d go nuts if we switched gifts.”
He nodded. “I can see that. I think I’d go barmy.”
She chuckled. “I already am! I was born that way, I suppose.”
James shook his head in amusement. “You’re so much different than Cadence.”
“Just because we have the same gift doesn’t mean we act the same. Cadence is very much like her mother, quiet, shy, and reserved.”
“Wonder why?” he asked, more to himself than anything.
“Having gifts like ours…it does things to you. When Harmony and I dreamshare, I become much more like her. It…” she sighed. “James, knowing everything isn’t all it’s cut out to be. I mean, I went toe to toe with Harmony when you and Aiden started dating the girls. I did it because I could see it was good for all of you in that moment. Harmony, on the other hand, saw the outcome…all of them. She’s stuck in the future but you can’t live only for the future. You have to live for right now as well. Honestly, how much have you and Cadence changed since you started dating?”
He frowned. “What do you mean?”
She bit back a smile at his confusion. “Before you four started dating…think back. Aiden was reserved and very much a loner. Everyone was either terrified of him or dismissive. Rhapsody, on the other hand, was…for lack of a better word…a menace.”
James chuckled. “I remember when she finally caught up to Zach for putting egg dye in her shampoo.”
Melody cackled. “Me too. He had purple and green polka dotted skin for a month…not to mention his hair. It was a lovely shade of fuchsia, if I recall correctly.”
“Well, most of it was. His white streak turned neon orange.”
“Ah, now I remember. Anyway, Aiden is now much more sociable and Rhapsody counts to ten before she hexes. Hell, she even looks both ways to make sure no one is looking first.”
James cracked a smile and nodded. “So what about me and Cadence?”
“The opposite, in case you haven’t noticed.” She butted her shoulder into him playfully. “You actually think before you do something stupid and Cadence can finally look people in the eye instead of checking out their shoes.”
James rubbed the back of his neck. “Yeah, I guess. She’s always harping on me to think about the consequences…like getting kicked off the quidditch team.”
“And you never stopped pressing her until she realized that she was a powerful and beautiful woman in her own right. You miss dating her?” Melody asked softly.
James shrugged. “I- I do and I don’t. I mean, I love her, more than anything but I…” He shook his head in frustration.
“You don’t love her like that,” Melody supplied.
James nodded. “I-I think I like, um, someone else.”
Melody smiled. “Perhaps someone with bubblegum pink hair, golden yellow eyes, and a gentle disposition?”
He gaped at her for a few minutes.
She snorted. “Close your mouth before you catch flies. I’m not blind James…and neither is Cadence. You both entered into this knowing that she had a soul mate out there.”
He nodded. “I still feel bad though.”
“Because you were relieved when she broke it off.”
“Yeah.” James stared at his feet as if they were the most interesting things in the universe.
“It was the best outcome sweetheart…for all of you really. You and Aiden have gotten very close, something that has helped your fathers finally bury the hatchet. Cadence and Rhapsody can move on to their soul mates, the ones who truly complete their magic. And you and Aiden can move on to the girls who caught your eye.”
“Aiden can.”
“Why can’t you?” she asked innocently. “I’m sure Annabel would be delighted to have your attention.”
“I would like to think so,” he said miserably. “But we’ll be going to Salem in a few days.”
She hummed. “Teddy and Victoraire are practically fused at the lips. Perhaps Annabel wouldn’t be averse to studying abroad this year…if only to escape the mortification of catching her brother in the act…again.”
James couldn’t help it. He burst out laughing. “She couldn’t eat breakfast for a week after that. Said all she saw was the bangers.”
“Poor child, traumatized like that. How about it then? Want me to ask Remus?”
“You’d do that?” His eyes were wide with shock and wonder.
“Wouldn’t be the first time I’ve gone head to head with a werewolf…or maybe fist to head. Anyway, James, if you want her, I’ll see what I can do.”
“Is she my soul mate?” James asked in a whisper.
Melody’s eyes were oddly shiny at that moment. “No sweetheart.”
“Why won’t you tell me who then?” He asked angrily.
She turned to him, her face a mask of pain. “Because I don’t know.”
“I don’t have one,” James whispered. “I’m the only one who doesn’t have one.”
“Harmony doesn’t have one. Does she look unhappy?”
He shook his head.
“Your Uncle Ron doesn’t have one either. Aunt Luna…none. Hell James, only our little clique has mates…and don’t you tell them.”
“I won’t. I have a pretty good idea who they are though,” James whispered.
Melody nodded. “You’ll help protect Emily Creevey and her brother, won’t you?”
“Whose?”
“Jacob.”
“Is she powerful?”
“She can crack Sev’s mental walls like an egg shell.”
“Damn it.”
“My thoughts exactly,” she chuckled.
James cocked his head. “Hugo and Rose?”
“See,” she elbowed him. “You aren’t the dunderhead that Severus is convinced you are.”
He grinned. “I guess Cadence rubbed off on me more than I thought.”
She nodded. “You are most observant now. James…I’m worried about the Malfoys.”
“Why?” He asked in alarm.
“Well, the girls and my boys, they have mates because of an imbalance, as Cadence told you from the beginning. Aiden and Serena are mated to half werewolves. Creatures are often drawn to one another so it isn’t that odd. Lily had an accident. Albus…bless him, his mate… he’s like you now. I saw a mate there until this morning, a boy. But it disappeared.”
“What does that mean?”
“I suspect that he’s dead,” Melody frowned. “Although it shouldn’t have disappeared like that. The fates are having to scramble. Anyway, keep an eye on your brother, won’t you?”
“Always,” he said fiercely. James was as protective of his family as Aiden was…perhaps a side effect of hanging out together. “But the Malfoys?”
“They’re pure balanced, apparently something that has never happened before. Scorpius and Ara, their mates are like them. Jacob’s mate, she’s a natural legilimens…and she’s powerful James. I haven’t felt power like that from anyone balanced but you and Aiden and your siblings. Hugo, he’s an empath but he isn’t that powerful. I just…I don’t get it. The fates are messing with most basic elements of magic and frankly, it scares me.”
James sucked in a breath through his teeth. “You think they’ll self-destruct like Hermione and Draco?”
She shook her head. “No, and that’s what worries me. If their cores are perfectly balanced and they don’t need their mates to survive, then what happens when they start combining magic instead of weaving it?”
“They can do that?” he asked in shock.
“Supposedly. Can you see why I’m worried now?”
He nodded. “Have you talked to them about it?”
She shook her head. “No, Hermione and Draco are planning to go it alone.”
“They can’t!” James shouted and stood up.
“Sit down!” She hissed. “We won’t let them. They’re just worried James…worried for all of us.”
He sat down with a heavy thud. “What do we do?”
“We stick together.”
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
“You think I’m stupid?” Melody asked as they flicked the lights on in the basement.
“What?” Hermione asked. Her voice cracked, betraying the innocence she was trying to project.
“Cut the shit,” Melody snapped. “I can see your deception. Acting otherwise is only pissing me off.”
“Look,” Draco sighed. “We just-“
“Don’t want anyone else to get hurt,” Melody cut him off. “I know. I understand. We all do, but marching off on your own is stupid. That muggle saying, safety in numbers, it applies to wizards too.”
“I’m not endangering our children,” Draco growled.
Melody merely crossed her arms and sneered. He met her eyes evenly before she snorted. “You honestly think that I would want to send my children into battle…especially after we fought so hard to get them here in the first place?”
“Why not?” Draco said darkly. “You can always have more.”
“No I can’t,” Melody hissed, her eyes flashing in anger. “The boys are all I’m ever going to have.”
“Really?” Hermione breathed in shock.
Melody nodded. “You’re good spell casters, but not that good. I was able to carry the twins to full term but I…I didn’t stop bleeding after I had them. The spell had done too much damage. It was the hardest thing Alex has ever had to do.”
Draco sunk down on the steps in defeat. “Gods, I didn’t know. I would have-“
“No,” Melody said tiredly. “There was absolutely nothing that could have prevented it, save going back in time.”
Draco let out a dry laugh. “Don’t think it hasn’t crossed my mind.”
Melody smiled sadly. “You aren’t the only one. Now, please reconsider. The Khrone’s mission will be done by the adults, period. We can’t send the children in there…but we need them. Someone has to stay behind to protect everyone.”
“And if we don’t?” Hermione asked softly.
“I’ll call Severus and have him pull rank.”
“You wouldn’t!” Hermione cried.
Melody arched an eyebrow and shot a pointed look behind them.
“Hello father,” Draco said tiredly. Severus was on the step just above him. “Come to shackle us to the wall?”
“No,” Severus said softly. “But I will pull rank if needed. I know all too well the perils of going it alone.”
Draco glanced up and flinched at the sight of Severus. He was wearing only a pair of black cotton sleep pants. The low light of the basement put his scars in high relief, ugly thick lines that started at his shoulders. He knew they crisscrossed his back. A few scars littered his chest, whip and burn marks from his service to the Dark Lord. He stared at the thin silver lines that marred his neck, remnants of Nagini’s bite. He usually kept them glamoured.
“Going in a pair isn’t all that wonderful either,” Melody said dryly.
She was wearing her typical sleep attire, a sleeveless shirt and men’s boxers, no doubt confiscated from Alex. However, Draco knew what lay beneath. Severus had made it a point to diligently heal all the wounds he inflicted on her under Voldemort’s orders. That didn’t mean they didn’t scar. Some of the torture implements were charmed to leave them. Knowing this, Severus had been careful with his lashes, never deviating from a set pattern, only the order in which he placed them. When the blood flowed, no one was the wiser. No one except Draco, that was. The scars joined to form a spider web on her back, Severus’s initials in the center. The initials had long since healed, being inflicted by fangs and not a knife, but the scars had not. Nearly two decades of trying to remove them had proved futile, the thick pink lines a testament to the powerful curses.
“Three didn’t make much difference either,” Draco said guiltily. He had his own scars, results of Lucius’s cruel intentions and gaining the ire of his Lord on occasion. Still, they paled in comparison to Melody and Severus. Hell, his own wife still bore the metallic scar she received at the hands of Dolohov. The healing she had to endure still made him shiver.
“We defeated him Draco,” Severus said, not unkindly. “It took all of us.”
“We don’t want to risk all of us!” Hermione screeched.
Severus folded his arms across his chest and merely stared her down. He wasn’t backing down and neither was she. “That is not your choice.”
“The hell it isn’t!” Hermione yelled. “We could leave now and there isn’t a thing you could do to stop us.”
Severus’s face turned black. “I would find you and stop you.”
Hermione crumpled. She knew he could too. “I don’t want anything to happen to anyone else.”
“The only thing to curtail that is planning,” Melody interrupted. “I assume you came down here to study the memories?”
Hermione and Draco nodded.
Melody hummed. “Let’s lug this shit upstairs. It’ll be more comfortable there. We can enlarge the bowl so we can all watch.”
“We’re all going to watch them?” Hermione asked.
Melody nodded. “It’s better to let everyone know upfront. Sev, go wake everyone.”
Severus nodded and left the room in a blur. Melody picked up the pensieve as if it were a feather. “Pocket the memories. See you upstairs.”
AN: I almost forgot what day it was! It's been one whirlwind of a week guys. I'm done with my internship, I finished my last class EVER...and I'm a graduate! *does happy dance* Back to the fic.

Some of you might recognize it as the True Blood theme song. :D If you haven't guessed it yet, the next chapter is the memories. I'll warn you now and again later, it includes some very dark content, including rape, torture, and child abuse, somewhat graphic. Let me know how you guys feel about this.
