Ashley still couldn't believe her father was Lord Voldemort. It was unreal. For the last few days Ashley had been avoiding everyone. Everytime someone would wave at her or come closer she would back away and leave. She didn't want to taint anyone.

It was almost dinner time and Ashley was studying in a quiet corner of the library. She was trying to find some information about Voldemort when she heard a sound behind her. She quickly whirled around and found herself face to face with Lucius Malfoy.

"Good evening Ashley." He said and raised his wand. "Don't worry, this wont hurt."

There was a flash of yellow light and Ashley went numb all over. The next thing she knew she was walking to the main hall where everyone was eating. She couldn't feel anything. She tried to lift her arm but it wouldn't budge yet she kept on walking and sat next to Harry at the Gryffindor table. Harry looked at her sympathetically and continued eating. Ashley tried to force her arm to pick up some food but it wouldn't budge. She couldn't even move her eyebrows. 'Oh god, what is happening to me!' She thought.

Hermoine said, "Ashley, are you okay?" and she nodded.

Everyone finished eating and left the table. Harry paused while leaving and looked back at her and then continued on his way. Ashley found herself following him until she was alone in the dark hall with only him. He turned around and called her name but she couldn't answer. She raised her wand and glared.

"Time to die Harry Potter!" she whispered and started to say a curse when her words choked. She was finally breaking through the spell. When she broke free she crumbled to the ground and Harry ran to her.

"Ashley? What's going on? Ashley!" he said.

"I'm so sorry Harry...V-Voldemort!" she said and everything faded to black.

It was the next day and Ashley awoke in the hospital room. She was all along except for the nurse.

"Good morning Miss Stratus! If you are feeling well you can go now." She said.

"Thank you."

"Mr. Potter was here a few minutes ago. He looked very worried. Oh, and Professor Dumbledore wanted to speak with you as soon as possible." The nurse said and went her way.

Ashley decided to see Harry first. She found him in the Gryffindor common room alone and sat inf ront of him.

"Ashley! Are you feelign better?" he said in concern.

"Yes, I feel better but there's something I have to tell you."

"No, it's okay. I know it wasn't you who attacked my last night. Well, it was you but not the real you."

"Yeah, I was being controlled. I'm so sorry." Ashley said and started to cry.

"It's okay." Harry said and put his arms around her. "It wasn't your fault."

"Yes it was!" she said and pulled back. "Right before I came down to dinner I was in the library when all of the sudden Lucius was in front of me! He said, 'Don't worry this ont hurt' or something like that and I saw a yellow flash of light and the next thing I knew I couldn't even move and eyebrow! It's like he was controlling my body and I was stuck inside. Oh Harry I was so scared."

"I know, I know. I've been through that before also." He said and once again put his arms around her and let her weep on his shoulder. A few minutes went by and she finally stopped.

Ashley looked up at Harry's face. Her tears were drying on her cheek. "Harry, I have to leave here. I am too much of a danger to you and everyone. I must go."
