Chapter 41

Alexis's POV

I was finally home. Still broken, but home. My countless arguments with the staff at St Mungo's had finally paid off. Despite the fact that I was just lying in my bed, still unable to move, I felt so much better. I had lost track of how long it had been since the accident, which was probably a good thing, whenever I dwelled on the fact that I had been in this state for months and could possibly be like this forever I got frustrated. Mediwitches visited once every few days to check on me, even though there was no change in my condition. They could see no logical explanation as to why I was unable to use my legs, they were telling me it was something mental stopping me. Some kind of block because I didn't want to move, which was ridiculous as I was so unbelievably over not being able to do anything.

Charlie had moved most of his belongings into my apartment, and was currently working at the Diagon Alley branch of Weasley Wizarding Weezes for Fred and George a few hours a week to help pay the bills. I had a sneaking suspicion that the twins were paying him for more work than he was actually doing though. When Charlie wasn't working he was at home, looking after Lucas and I. Both my parents and Charlie's family seemed to be constantly coming and going, I was so grateful for all the help and support but I just wanted to be able to do things for myself and not have to rely on everyone all the time.

One Saturday morning when Charlie had gone to work to help out the twins, Harry and Ginny came over and offered to take Lucas to the park, I agreed, disappointed that I couldn't take him myself. Lucas hugged me before he left, promising to take lots of photos with the camera Arthur had given him.

A few hours later I was woken by the loud pop of someone apparating into my bedroom, I opened my eyes to see a very frazzled Ginny standing at the end of my bed. I sat up, instantly awake after seeing the frightened expression on her face.

"Alexis, I don't know what happened, we were at the park then suddenly there was a group of Death Eaters."

"Where's Lucas?" I interrupted sharply.

"Harry's gone to gather some Aurors."

"Where is Lucas?"

"They took him Lex," Ginny said, bursting into tears, "they said something about having the Potter child and disapperated."

Ginny put Lucas's camera on the bed as I snatched my wand off the pillow beside me. I closed my eyes and disapperated. I landed in the flat above the twin's shop in Diagon Alley, on my feet before my legs gave way. I swore loudly before realising that I had actually felt that. I hadn't felt my legs properly since before the accident. I used the couch to manovuer myself into a standing position and carefully moved one foot infront of the other. My legs were shaky and I needed to support myself using the furniture but I was walking. I slowly but surely made my way down the stairs to the shop, calling Charlie's name. He met me in the store room, surprised and confused.

"Lexy you're walking!" he exclaimed excitedly.

"Lucas went to the park with Ginny and Harry. He got taken by Death Eaters. I think they thought he was Harry's kid."

Charlie wrapped his arms around me as I cried. Ginny apparated into the room, closely followed by my parents, George walked into the room to find out what was going on.

"Death Eaters took Lucas," Charlie told him.

"FRED! Close the shop!" George yelled to his twin, before starting to shoo customers away.

Within a few minutes the shop was empty, with the exception of my family and friends. I had been forced into a chair because my legs were still too weak to support my body alone.

"Apparate me to Harry's office," I demanded.

"Lex, there's not much you can do at the moment, Harry will have it under control. You cant help them," Charlie said gently.

"I can help, and I will. This is my son we are talking about. Just take me to Harry's office."

Charlie sighed, conceding defeat, before taking my arm and apparating us to outside Harry's Auror office.

Lucas's POV

Aunty Ginny and Uncle Harry took me to the park. I was having lots of fun and taking pictures for Mummy on my camera because she couldn't come because her legs didn't work. I really wanted Mummy to come and she wanted to come too. I think it made her sad because she couldn't play with me much.

I was climbing on the jungle gym, with my camera on my neck so I wouldn't drop it and Uncle Harry and Aunty Ginny were sitting on a seat watching me and then it was really dark. Uncle Harry and Aunty Ginny got up really fast and got their wands out. I was scared. It was a muggle playground, they shouldn't have their wands, muggles could see them! I started to climb down to go to them when people started popping everywhere. The people had masks and black cloaks like Daddy Charlie put on for work. Uncle Harry and Aunty Ginny started fighting the mask people with their wands. I hadn't seen a wand fight before, not a real one. I had seen Mummy and Daddy Charlie play wand fight but they don't want to hurt each other because they love each other. I got back on the ground and didn't know where to go. Go to Aunty Ginny and Uncle Harry or hide from scary mask people? I went and hided behind a big tree. I took my camera off my neck and taked some photos where they couldn't see me, so Mummy and Daddy Charlie could see what happened.

I was crying. But I was very brave because brave people cry too, Mummy says so. Daddy Charlie said Mummy is the bravest person he knows, and she cries because her legs don't work so she cant play. And Daddy Charlie is brave but he cries sometimes too, because Mummy's legs don't work and because Mummy is sad. Daddy Charlie doesn't like Mummy being sad, he wants to fix her and make everything better. I think Daddy Charlie cries because he misses his dragons too.

Aunty Ginny looked scared, but she was fighting good and so was Uncle Harry. I don't think they could see where I was hiding. I am a good hider, Daddy Charlie can never find me when we play hide and seek. I was taking pictures of the mask people but they were hard because they moved really fast. A mask person popped infront of me and I screamed. They picked me up hard , not nice like other people do. I didn't like it.

"Put me down!" I yelled, kicking my legs.

The mask person laughed, I think it was a girl. She shaked me a bit, just to be nasty and I dropped my camera.

Aunty Ginny and Uncel Harry saw me and started running to me.

"I've got the Potter child!" mask lady yelled.

"Let's go, we've got the child," a mask man said.

All the mask people started popping away. Aunty Ginny was yelling something as she runned to me but I couldn't hear her. I wanted to go home. I wanted Mummy and Daddy Charlie. I wanted to get my camera, Grandpa Weasley would be sad if it got losted.

The mask lady grabbed me tighter and popped me away with her.
