Chapter 3

It had been a few days since we returned home, and so far we had averted all conversation about me changing him and the Volturi threat. I was lying in bed thinking about what to say to him. It had been niggling at the back of my mind and I needed to get it over and done with. However George interrupted my deep train of thought as he slid his warm hand round my waste. I think I jumped quite high, "please don't do that" I gasped, rolling over to face my husband who had a huge smile across his face, "I'm sorry" he said before stroking my face and kissing the end my nose, "but I couldn't resist, your just too irresistible" he kissed me properly

"your not to bad yourself " I said slipping my hand round his waste,

"bah. Don't do that, your hands are cold"

"we're even now though" I teased kissing him and pressing myself against him as he chuckled, "what's so funny" I pouted,

"Ruby and Fred stuck at The Burrow, and well you know them"

"fair enough" I smiled, I knew what it was like, having to tiptoe around and sneak a kiss and hug here and there. "They're going to go mad"

"I know the feeling, all the times you stayed and were just the other side of the wall, my beautiful girlfriend"

"George Weasley" I exclaimed,

"what, I was just a normal teenage boy, those things couldn't be helped" he attempted an excuse, "what! Don't look at me like that"

"look at you like what" I teased, "well I'm your wife now, so you don't have to worry besides we have a house all to ourselves"

"just as well really" he said before kissing me , I wrapped my arms around his neck and ran my fingers through his brilliantly ginger hair letting him pull me against his toned chest as he gently caressed my back. After a very long moment I jumped up teasing him and dashed onto our dressing room "Ivy" he moaned and I stuck my head back round the door to see my husband sitting upright in the middle of our bed pouting, "yes" I grinned cheekily,

"why? "

" well we couldn't stay in bed all day now could we." I teased as he swung his legs out of bed and came over to me slipping his arms round my waste once again, kissing my neck, "George, honey I need to get dressed" I pleaded,

"ok, only if you wear this" he grinned as he dug out one of his shirts throwing it at me, "you look so damn hot in those"

"humm, I wonder why, let me see, it's not that long" I teased as I put it on along with my leggings and a thin plated belt, inhaling the familiar scent of George that lingered on the collar. "there, perfect" he mused as he kissed me once more, I let my hands drift up his chest and around his neck as he picked me up and put me on the top of the chest of draws "that's better" he muttered kissing me all the more. I started kissing my way down his neck. The feeling of his soft skin beneath my lips and his thudding pulse. I could feel the familiar rush of desire that I felt when hunting. The need for blood. I brushed my teeth gently over his smooth skin, my senses heightened as his pulse quickened and I could feel the blood rushing through his veins. "Do it Ivy" I heard him moan. "Go on I know you can". I wanted to I wanted to taste the sweetness of his blood, I was caught up in the moment. For a second I though I was actually going to do it but my heart took over and I pulled away running to the other side of the room, staring it my husband. "I'm sorry G, I'm sorry" I cried as I apparated to The Burrow with a 'pop' and I appeared in the living room with tears streaming down my face "Rubes" I sobbed trying to hold myself together.

She stood up, a worried look plastered across her face as she grabbed my hand and dragged me out of The Burrow and out into the surrounding woodland. "Ives, what happened?" I shook my head and collapsed to the leafy floor

"I nearly, I nearly changed him" I told her, tears still freely flowing " his blood and.. and…" I couldn't get enough words out.

But he's ok?" I nodded in reply,, "Good then lets get ho-"

"Well, well, well, this was easier than expected" a voice taunted from behind us Ruby spun around and I cautiously follow suit. "You know from what Aro said I thought she was going to put up a fight...shame I was looking forward to Crucioing this bitch." I started to draw my wand out when there was another crack from behind us, I spun round wand at the ready to become face to face with the famous Bellatrix Lestrange, her mad eyes staring at me, "hello there Ivy" she taunted, "lovely to meet you at last"

"stay away from me" I stammered,

"ahh, is lickle Ivy scared of big bad Bellatrix"

"you wish" I hissed, regaining some composure my wand still pointed at her, my muscles tensed ready for a fight.

"you think your so cleaver don't you, all immortal" I gulped,. "Oh yes I know what you are Ivy Fitzgerald. Or should I say Weasley, how is that new, new human husband of yours". We were walking slow circles around each other now.

"you leave George out of this" I could hear my heart pounding in my chest.

"now why would I do that my dear, you love him and love can be so easily lost"

"you lay one finger on him and you'll regret it"

"Ohh" she pouted, "but he's so fragile and so alone in that little cottage of yours. So easily disposed of, it wouldn't take long. I promise"

"right, that's it" I growled and lunged at her throwing her hard against a tree as she just laughed, a shrill cackling laugh, as she landed on the ground "Ivy, Ivy, Ivy, you've got a lot to learn, CRUCIO" a red light shot out of her wand as I yelled.

"Protego Horribilis" and a blue light shot out of mine, we were locked in combat. I could see Ruby battling it out with who I now realised was Yaxley, great, just great. I was stuck duelling Bellatrix, one of the most talented dark wizards and I nearly bit my husband What a fantastic day.

And then she changed tact, "Sectum Sempra"

"Expelliarmus" I yelled dashing way before the spell could reach me, and then I locked my gaze with hers "you messed with the wrong girl"

"there, there, this is just a little bit of fun. No need to get all worked up about it"

"you've seen nothing yet. This is just the icing on the cake"

"in your dreams little girl".

I simply thought one thing 'Levicorpus' as she found herself looking at things from a very different angle.

"no one calls me little and gets away with it" I said sternly,

"my, my what have we got going on here, a little party I see. Care if I join you. No scrap that. Don't mind if I do"

"shit" I muttered, losing concentration and Bellatrix dropped head first onto the ground as a familiarly cloaked figure that had so often haunted my dreams stepped out from behind a tree, his red eyes glowing. "now, now, don't use language like that, it's not proper for a girl like you" he said in a smooth voice as he came forward, pushed me against a tree and stroked the side of my face with a long pale finger. "let go of me you bastard" I hissed,

"ohh, who's the cleaver one now hey. Bellatrix is, Bellatrix is" she sung behind us clapping her hands "my Lord will be so proud, I caught Ivy Fitzgerald, I caught Ivy Fitzgerald"

"it's Weasley bitch, get it right" I spat, anger building up

"That's quiet enough Bellatrix" The vampire commanded. She shut up but grinned and bit her lip looking very pleased with herself as she bent down and picked up a large rock off the floor and then looked between me and the rock. I gulped I had an inkling to what might come next. I was right. She threw it at me and the world went black as I sunk to my knees.

I slowly came round in a small damp room with a tiny window high up on the wall and Ruby was curled up in a foetal position on the floor. I wanted George, I wanted him to be here to hold me to comfort me. I didn't even leave on a good note. I didn't even tell him that I loved him. Ruby started to groan. "Ruby, Rubes, wake up. Oh Merlin, wake up." I hissed, I didn't really want to be alone,

"Wha-what, where's Freddie, is he ok?" she moaned, half awake,

"I wish I could tell you, I really do, but I don't know" I sighed as she struggled to sit up, as she did she revealed the full extent of her injuries. "Ohh, right, that's what happened, I'm gonna get that little runt or die trying because he has crossed the line with me, and I am not going to rest until I do" she exclaimed suddenly,

"Rubes they cut you up pretty bad on the way here, wait a sec, Episkey" I had to fix her up, but this was too much for her, she needed blood or a lot of rest to recover properly. And I knew which one she wasn't going to be getting any time soon, she sunk back Well that's me out, I'll see you later Ives," she said almost as a joke as she sunk back down to the floor with a final yawn. I lent against the wall resting my chin up on my knees. I was just going to have to wait.
