Twin Flames

Hide and seek.

It was the night of the raid that night. The full moon would rise and everyone would be stationed somewhere in Italy, on high alert for any sign of Lucius. Everyone involved had been at Grimmauld place for the day going over plans and getting assigned portkeys to get to their places. It had been a hard day of listening to the reports on what they knew so far and what to expect that night.

Despite being in a war Harry was not used to this kind of organized planned raid, he, Ron and Hermione had broken into Gringotts on a whim in comparison to this large scale trap they had laid. They each were acting as sensors in a spider web over Italy to catch their fly and everyone had to adhere to the protocols of law. The Italian ministry was also on their side allowing them to launch their attack with help.

Apparently the Italian minister wanted Lucius out of his country, the rise in anti muggleborn sentiments were concerning and Harry could only imagine who might follow him if Lucius succeeded in making himself appear to be wielding magic that exceeded the norm for Wizards. The fear was that he would run to France or Spain if he wasn't captured. Those two countries were bigger and if he started moving around too much his influence can be reached by more people, they wanted to isolate the problem.

Draco was nervous as hell, he knew the kind of horrible things Lucius was capable of and he hated the fact that they weren't able to pinpoint a single location. So far Lucius had been in a different town or backwater village every time he popped up, there was no pattern and no actual reason for choosing each place and they weren't always far from each other. This was why it was a country wide trap, Lucius had popped up anywhere between Milan and Lecce the first four times they had surges.

Harry and Draco both prayed that the time between the last ritual and the one they hoped to stop didn't mean Lucius was going somewhere else.

From what they could tell from the evidence left behind, Lucius has several accomplices anything up to 15 other supporters that were there for protection and to help in any way Lucius might require. Harry and Draco had sat down with Hermione and tried to decipher what these rituals Lucius was doing might include. The list had not been pretty but tonight was personal for Draco.

That monster, it was the only way he could describe him anymore because he was no man and he certainly was no father of his, would likely be on the prowl for a virgin to defile. A perversion of the act of bonding, where two people choose each other freely. Virgins blood and semen was unfortunately powerful ingredients in magic and on a full moon. To do such an act when the brightest of the moon's phases was shining down on you was deplorable; it was magically akin to Lucius forcing himself on someone with and audience and the audience being broken by it but paying to see it anyway.

To disrespect a woman was highly distasteful in Draco and Harry's opinion, Draco had actually felt incredibly bad about his use of Mudblood to Hermione in his second year but well he couldn't actually do anything. He had a role to play then, he just didn't like the role he had been given by 'his father'. To force himself sexually on anyone was appalling and not a thing to cross his mind, even Harry being his husband didn't give him a right over Harry's body and vice versa. Lucius had not thought that way at all, his mother had been property and Lucius believed all women to need to be seen and not heard and even then only if she did as she was told.

They both strongly felt that this act for Lucius would not be too far out of the realms of doable for him. He would have to be able to ensure she was virginal so, that boiled things down age wise and included religious convents. So, with all that in mind the layout of their web had strategic placements covering hot spots for these demographic, in the Muggle or Wizard population.

They were as ready as they would ever be and soon after a small dinner between those attending the portkeys began sending each group of two off to their destinations.
