As soon as Harry had told the others where to go he had apperated to Lexis' home not waiting for them to catch up. Every second that Ginny was there was another second the love of his life and children were in danger. He could hear his heart thumping in his ears as he left the surrounding woods he had used for cover and headed towards the house. He took note that only one room had light in the window, and so aimed for that.

He knew the front door wouldn't be locked, she was so pig headed that she thought no one would bother her, even with Ginny as her hostage. The large door easily gave under his weight creaking slightly as he pushed it open. He didn't care about announcing his presence; he knew that Lexis would feel him near. Another nifty thing she had embedded inside him. She knew when he was around and visa versa. He could feel the pull in his stomach that told him she was close by, the unforgettable buzz that he felt in his head as her presence smothered him. But now it was different he knew it was wrong and he was glad that she had let him go, even if it was only slightly.

Creeping along the upstairs hallway, more out of realisation how dangerous everything was, than worried he would be heard. Lexis was waiting for him and he knew she would know every move he took. The last door came into view and he felt his heart beat quicken, something inside him told him Lexis was there, but Ginny wasn't. His heartache settled a bit at that knowledge though; at least Lexis didn't have her hands on Ginny at the moment. His head began to buzz with every spell he knew trying to think of the best way to get her out of the way.

Suddenly the door flung open and there she stood. Lexis didn't even bother to go for her wand she just stood there and Harry was frozen. She stood in a long shimmering white robe, underneath which she wore a pail blue, almost white, short nighty. Harry felt his heart constrict with the site of her pale skin dancing in the flickering candle light. It took him a second to realise that he shouldn't be that way, that she had released him from those spells so why did he still feel like that. He looked deep into her grey eyes, seeing the power that danced behind them and was still infatuated. He could feel his body reacting to her like she was a lover. His mind went foggy with lustful thoughts of her, his heartache ceased and yet got worse at the same time, his muscles tightened with anticipation. And all the while she just stood studying him. Lexis could feel the attraction he had for her and she smiled inwardly.

'Did you really think I'd let you go lover so easily,' she thought to herself laughing inwardly at the pain she was causing him.

She reached out a hand and softly stroked his cheek. She felt the ripples of pleasure pass through him and his grip on his wand in his pocket broke. She knew then that she has him, his green eyes danced with lust. Lexis knew then that she would have him always, she would take his children by force and he wouldn't do anything. Harry was now and forever her puppet.

When she smiled at him, the last shred of what Harry knew feel away and all that was left was her. He fell against her body feeling her breathing quicken at his touch and he loved it. Loved that this powerful woman would shake at his touch. Loved the fact that he had so much power over her and he wanted to exert that power. Ever muscle in him screamed for him to take her and to show her he was hers forever with force.

He grabbed her shoulders and pushed her forcefully back against the wall. He slid his hand up her thigh feeling the smooth skin run under his fingertips. With everywhere he touched he left Lexis' skin on fire and she knew then that he had more power over her then she liked. Somewhere along the line she had gone from controlling him, to him having power over her. Lexis was intoxicated by his touch, something she had never felt with anyone. She looked up at him, taking in his tussled hair, the strong features he had developed, his dark emerald eyes that danced with so many emotions. Then she knew, she knew exactly what had happened to her. Somewhere along the line he had stopped being something she used as a power tool. She had fallen in love with him.

Lexis let herself feel everything and shake with pleasure at his touch. Let herself feel her breath catch in her throat as he laid kisses down her neck and chest. Let his hands slip her robe off her shoulders with no protests, and smooth the hair away from them with light touches. She knew she shouldn't that she should stay in control at all times, but she couldn't. As Harry finally gave in and his lips met hers, she knew for sure she was intoxicated by him and if he ever managed to break the spell she had over him he would be the powerful one and she would bend to his will. That even though she violently hated herself for it, she had let another man have power over her and there was nothing she could do.


Ron and Hermione hadn't been far behind Harry. They had called for the Aurors but not waited for them to come before following Harry. They knew if he was left alone he would do something stupid as always. Ginny was his weak point and they knew his emotions weren't in check so he'd do something stupid. The stormed into the mansion with a clatter thinking they would hear some sort of noise, but all was silent. Definitely not a good sign. As the two climbed the staircase to the second floor, Hermione slipped her hand into Ron's. She entwined her fingers in his, grateful for the comfort and the fact he didn't pull away. Instead he tightened the grasp on her hand, and she felt him shake. He was just as worried as she was. After all his sister was still missing and he had no idea what his best friend had gotten himself into.

The slowly made their way down to corridor seeing the shaft of light at the end. Both knew that that was more than likely where they were. Hermione's heart beat quickened as she realised that there was completely no noise coming from the room. Her mind flashed back to what she saw in the woods and she quickly pushed that away, Harry had been under a spell then nothing more. He loved Ginny only Ginny, she repeated that n her head more trying to convince herself than remind herself.

Ron was oblivious to her worries, all he knew was his sister was gone and his best friend was battling the person who had taken her. It was all black and whit to him, no shades of grey even occurred to him. Ron couldn't let himself think Harry would hurt his sister, that would turn his life upside down. If Harry, the most noble and loving person he had ever met, could do that what was the rest of the world capable of.
