Ginny felt Harry arrive, felt his soul drift close to her. The pain in her stomach all but ceased with the knowledge he was close by, even her babies seemed to settle inside her. The relief that washed over her was amazing. She was going home, her love had found her and she was going home to him. But as she realised the implications of him being there the ache inside her returned. She knew Lexis' power, she knew that she wouldn't be easy to defeat. She also knew Harry could loose his life.

'No' she thought to herself, 'he defeated Voldermort, he survived that he will survive this.' She told herself sternly.

She couldn't think any other way or she would be sucked back into despair.

As she lay there waiting for her rescue she felt something shift she felt something inside her break and she knew something had gone wrong. Something Harry had suddenly felt had washed over her. Love, and not for her. Her heart broke then, and the pain from that was worse than anything Lexis had inflicted on her. Something had happened to Harry and Ginny when they had spoke, an unspoken connection had been formed, linking there souls. And now the link hummed with pleasure that she knew wasn't from her.

All she wanted then was to crawl in on herself and die. She couldn't be without Harry again; she hadn't almost made it through the last time he had been ripped from her. And this time she knew he was alive and in the arms of someone else. But not just someone else, Lexis she realised suddenly. The woman that had tortured her and tried to rip her babies from her now held her love in her arms. She felt sick, her breathing became laboured and she knew she wouldn't make it through this night without him.

'Harry!' she called out as tears spilled down her cheeks and she lapsed back into unconsciousness.


'Harry!'

Harry heard Ginny's words in his head and he snapped back to reality. He realised she had felt all of his emotions at that point and he hated himself, he hated himself so violently that he didn't want to live. Suddenly he grabbed Lexis' hands and pulled them over her head pinning her against the wall.

Lexis watched as the emotions in his eyes changed from lust to pure hatred. Something had gone wrong, somehow he had snapped out of her spell and she knew it. Her mind went into over drive then. She tried to push against him but he was to strong. She mentally kicked herself then, she had let herself get caught up like this without even worrying what would happen.

"I hate you," Harry bit the words off at her and tossed her aside.

Lexis landed on the floor with a resounding thump and just lay there. Harry's words hurt her to the core and she knew they shouldn't. She to snapped back to her senses at that and she hardened again. Pulling in all her emotions she wrapped herself back up in the hatred she had for all men. Pushing aside the fact that Harry had touched her heart she let herself hate him along with all men that hurt her. Still lying on the floor she whipped her head around and her grey eyes burned with venom.

Harry didn't back down under her stare though, she had to die. Pure and simply she had to be gone for any peace to ever come between Harry and Ginny again. But as she lay there Harry couldn't lift his wand to her. He understood then that he had hurt her with his words, that in her own sick and twisted way she had grown to love him. He had never killed anyone that seemed so human. Sure he had killed people, but each of them were death eaters with no faces and names, and of course Voldermort. But she wasn't like that. She had a name and a life he knew; even if he saw her as evil it was still harder. But as he thought that something inside him screamed for him to hear.

'She hurt Ginny,' his inner thoughts told him and he hardened.

This woman had dared to touch his love and think she could get away with it. Harry's inner turmoil slipped then and his resolution set. She would die, not by any others hand, only by his.

In the time that he had fought with himself Lexis had tracked her wand and made a plan to reach it. As she watched the confusion ripple through Harry's eyes she made a dive. Her wand was on her bedside table and all she had to do was reach it. She banged clean into the bedside table and it feel to the floor. As her fingers wrapped around it she felt all her power come rushing back to her. She had everything she needed to defeat Harry right there and even if it hurt her she would do it.

She turned climbing to her feet in one smooth movement and faced eye to eye with Harry.

'Good bye my love,' she thought to herself, a bitter laugh ripping through her mind.

"Avada Kedavra!"
