Harshing apparated in a wave of silver mist. He was in the remains of Malfoy manner, the agreed meeting place of Alexis and He. He created fire with his wand and then proceeded to drink whiskey from his container. When he was warm he sat cross legged on the floor, waiting, waiting.

Alexis would come.

alexis carried nothing with her as she walked through the remains of the manor. her children were safley in school. she was free to do as she pleased. seeing a fire she walked loser to it. her husband was there. stepping into the cirle of light she smiled warmly at the sight of him.
"coldstone..."

"Alexis," his voice was not one of joy - it was flat, dull, steady. He got up - his eyes widening. He moved towards her, flourished his cloak with his wand and kissed her on the forehead.

Before she could say a thing he began: "I make no apologies for not seeing you for a few m - since I was released from the ministry for giving evidence against the Death Eaters I have locked myself away from the world. Until now. The Grand Sentinus sent assassins to my house. I killed them all." He said the last sentence like he gave them tea and biscuits.

"And now we can be together again. But we are in danger Alexis. Our powers combined are a threat to the Sentinus. He will target the Children. We must join the resistance."

alexis nodded. missing the feel of her husbands touch. she took his hand in hers.
"i'm behind you and with you always darling."
she said it trying to convey her feelings and loyalty and where she stood in the situation. brushing aside her silvery blonde hair. she turned around.
"where is the resistance?"
she said ready to join and do her part in bringing down the grand sentinus.

"Its a group started by the Beast. The Stewert Girl. I shall go and then introduce you, our talents will be needed by them." He caressed her cheek and kissed her on the lips. It was rushed and awkward. Not like that moment they had under the trees of the forbidden forest... he felt like a teen again.

"Alexis - my crimes are astronomical and yet you have never left my side... why?"

alexis savored the moment of his kisses and caresses. she knew he had demons. she could only hope the man she loved would over ome them.
"because i took the vow to love you and be with you in sikness and in health forver more.....i love you coldstone. don't ever doubt that. i might not like things you do but i do love you."

His wand glided to his hand, a rose blossomed from the tip. He broke it off and placed it in Alexis' hair. "We must speed to the resistance Headquarters," harshing whispered, gazing into her eyes. The moment was delicate and perfect - ruined by the outward conflicts of the world.

her hand brushed the edges of the rose. she always loved him. no matter what. she would always love him. wantiing at this moment to kiss him senceless. she just about gave into the feeling but then realised whathe had said about the resistance.
"all right then."
she said letting him lead the way from the mansion ruins. instead of the kiss she settled on running her hand lovingly up his sleeve to caress his cheek. grazing him with the tips of her fingers. it felt so good to touch him.

Wouldn't it be nice to slit her pretty throat right now and preserve the moment of love forever? - This was the single most prominent thought that poisoned Harshing's mind as he returned the caress. His face did not betray his thought.

Harshing took her hand and led her a little way a head. "The night is borne for flying." A single broom appeared, he mounted it and indicated she should go behind. He felt the b*****d wind in his hair, tiny whips on his neck. His eyes burned the night, fires in his pupils. A great journey had begun.

OOC:
gee thanks for the loving omment.
IC:
alexis held on tight to her husband. oblivious to his thoughts. she leaned in for warmth as the wind carried them off. she was happy now. she was with her husband and everything woud be fine. at least those were her thoughts.

OOC: lol :D

Harshing took off, going as quickly as the broom could handle, passing over blurs of muggle suburbs, but mainly dark meadows and orchards. After a while it felt like they were stationary and the world was moving around them - two lovers entwined at the centre of everything.

Wouldn't it be nice to push her off the broom, watch her bleed to death as she bleated out her last words of love for him?

OOC: I am going somewhere with this lol - I want to have some psychopathic questions crop up and then a final revelation that discards them all for "love" lol. Just playing around with Harshings head.

alexis closed her eyes and gave into the warmth of her husband. the wind bluring her vision so she couldn't see. she had the feeling o safeness. she knew her husband loved her. he wouldn't do anything to hurt her. relaxing her grip. she sighed.
"i love you..."
she said softly she didn't kow if he heard her or if they were carried away on the fierce wind. he emerald robes billowed behind her. she felt content.

Wouldnt it?... No it wouldnt because Alexis would never respond to his touch, his words his charisma again. He would preserve a moment, not the person he married and loved. Alexis was the only person he loved or liked. He turned slightly. "I love you too." The broom sped on and the world no longer moved around them. They slowed and landed near HQ.

OOC:
darn it i thought he was going to try and knok her off. that would have been.....fun? lol


IC:
alexis held onto him as they landed. she removed herself from the broom. taking his hand and giving it a tender squeeze.
"this is the headquarters?"
she asked with a look of slight disgust.

"Shields, enchantments. If you hold my hand I can pull you through the barriers." He tugged her through with great effort. There on the meadow side was the Stewert estate - a largish house with a swing outside and plenty of land to boot. It was fairly sinister yet not too sinister. Sinister was subjective. Harshing liked the place.

"Welcome to the Resistance."

alexis held on to her husbands hand as he tugged her through the barriers. looking around alot did change. she nodded her head.
"it will do..."
she said as if they were buying a house. placing her arm around her husbands waist she snuggled in for comfort.
"is anyone around? do i need to do anything?"
she figured she was here and it was time to get to business.

"Its not our usual standards no..." he said thinking of the grand manors and cottages, villas and parks they had bought during their time together. Harshing was a rich git and he wasn't afraid to flaunt it.

"I'll have your stuff brought from Castle delgi Angellio in Rome by tomorrow."

alexis nodded her agreement.
"we will be staying here?"
she asked him. she had hoped they could be alone for a little. she looked at him with a glint in her eyes hoping he could read her thoughts.

And he could, but regrettabley he told her: "Yes, Sentinus will have most of our homes covered. However my quarters are very private and should do well for..discussion." he laughed and escorted her towards the house.

"PLAGUE!" He shouted, wanting to summon Kiley.
